The middle-aged man walked up to us step by step, suddenly knelt on the ground and cried to the headless green zombie. From his crying, I could feel the pain in his heart.
This zombie must have been a very important person during his lifetime, otherwise it wouldn't be like this.
I slowly walked up to him and asked, "Do you recognize this zombie?"
The man wiped his tears, glanced at me, and said nothing for a long time. I thought he was resenting us for killing Green Zombie. But he didn't blame us. Instead, he invited us into his security room and told us a very touching story.
It turns out that this middle-aged man is called Ding Qiu. He is just fifty years old this year. He used to work on construction sites, doing everything from building houses to interior decoration. He and three other partners formed a team and followed a Chongqing boss to take on jobs all over the world. The key was that they were hard-working and willing to work, so they did not make less money.
At the beginning, Ding Qiu's construction team was small, no more than ten people. They were all people brought by Ding Qiu from Xiang's hometown. They were all illiterate, and when their poles fell over, they didn't know who they were. Fortunately, their boss is a good person, especially Ding Qiu and his subordinates Li Shan, Wang Long, and Zhou Guang, because the four of them were the first to follow the Chongqing boss, and their work is of high quality.
Li Shan is the strongest among the four. He is tall, strong and has a good temperament. He is forthright and has the style of a Northeastern man. Wang Long is a bit thinner, but he works very meticulously, such as mixing mortar, mixing cement and laying tiles. They all work for him; Zhou Guang is the oldest among them, but he is not a few years older, but he looks very old, but he is really willing to work hard. But they still respectfully call Ding Qiu the boss, not because of his age, but because he is a capable person. It was he who first brought the old guys from his village out to make a living.
Therefore, Ding Qiu, Li Shan, Wang Long, and Zhou Guang became the strongest combination, and were nicknamed the Gang of Four by the construction team members. The four of them eat and live together as if they were brothers.
I had a guess and asked if this green zombie was one of his three friends. Unfortunately, I guessed wrong...
Ding Qiu then revealed the true identity of this zombie, who was a good friend he later met.
In their early years, they went to work in a high-end community in Luoyang City, Henan Province. Because the delivery standard of this property is that it is fully decorated and can be moved in directly.
The communities they renovated were very high-end. They were all small high-rises with large areas, as well as connected villas and single-family villas. They had very high standards for decoration. Several decoration companies came to take over the project, but all failed. In the end, they were chosen to do the decoration work in this community with their qualified skills.
At that time, due to lack of manpower, the Chongqing boss had only about thirty people at his disposal. Although they are all veterans with rich decoration experience, there is still a shortage of personnel. Only then did they recruit a group of migrant workers from the local area, about fifty of them. The company's original workers will lead these newcomers, and they will not be allowed to do detailed work. They will only be responsible for rough work such as moving bricks, lifting cement, and mixing mortar.
At this time, the temporary housing for the workers was tight. The small wooden house that was originally a room for four people was forced to add two beds to make it into a room for six people. It was difficult to even find a place to stand.
Even the housing for Ding Qiu and the four of them was no exception. The boss originally said that they would not add people to their dormitory, but the housing was still too tight, so he added one person anyway. No one knew what his name was, because the man was illiterate and deaf-mute. Therefore, the construction team members called him mute.
This mute, thin, and ugly man would not have hired him if the boss in Chongqing had not seen him pitifully.
At first, Ding Qiu and the others rejected this mute because he was not good at hygiene, was grindy in his work, and was not well-behaved. The most important thing was that he was deaf and mute and could not communicate. After negotiating with him for a long time, he still had to fight with a bamboo basket. All water is gone...
It was because of the mute's shortcomings that Ding Qiu and his group were so unkind to him, completely ignoring his existence and treating him as nothing. No matter what they do, Ding Qiu and the four of them are together. They don't take him with them. At most, they just ask him to move building materials and deliver construction tools to Ding Qiu and his group.
Because the community under construction is very large, the construction team has dedicated cooks, but they just set up a stove and a large pot to cook in the community every day. The most important thing is that the workers' accommodation area is not in the community. Every time they have a meal, they have to walk a kilometer. Each time they go out to the dormitory to get food alone, and they always take turns. Ding Qiu's dormitory was special. All the work was done by the mute. The mute took over the meal preparation by himself.
As for purchasing daily necessities, washing clothes, and boiling water, they were all left to the angry mute. To be honest, Ding Qiu and his group really went too far at that time.
Sometimes, the mute comes back late. No matter how hard he knocks on the door, his four roommates will pretend they don't know and selectively block him. Just leaving him alone outside the dormitory and waiting for an hour was too much.
The most unacceptable thing is that their work and rest times are not the same. The mute was used to going to bed early, while Ding Qiu and the four of them were accustomed to going to bed late. The four of them stayed together and didn't care that the mute always kept the lights on, eating late night snacks and drinking beer. When he was drunk, he would bully the mute a few times, and sometimes he would urinate in front of the deaf-mute...
After all, the four of them, Ding Qiu, are from the Northeast. They are careless in their work, love to brag and drink, and always like to eat two bites of food if nothing happens. He often eats and drinks in the dormitory, filling the room with fragrance. Mute sometimes gets greedy and stands aside with saliva to watch his four roommates eating happily. But Ding Qiu and his group disliked him and drove him aside to avoid disappointment.
Occasionally, Ding Qiu and others would laugh at him when they were drunk, but the mute who was born deaf could not understand the words and could only hesitantly hum and make random gestures with his hands. That's why Ding Qiu and the others laughed at him, mocked him and made him learn to speak, and then scolded him back.
Throughout the article, Ding Qiu told me how he and his three guys bullied the mute, but never got the idea. I became a little impatient after hearing this, so I directly explained to Ding Qiu, "You don't need to explain, I already know everything. The mute you are talking about should be the zombie that I killed, right?"
Ding Qiu said: "Yes, that's him."
"Since you guys always bully others, why are you crying for the zombie, that is, the mute!"
Ding Qiu wiped away his tears again and said, "Because he saved me."
