Early the next morning, when I went to buy groceries, Xuanxuan left, leaving a note, saying that there was something to leave, I shook my head and didn't say much.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, I went to Xu Lin, there is a vegetable market in the urban village, which is cheaper than the supermarket, and my condiments are bought in the vegetable market.

I bought two catties of big bones, I put them in the pot to boil the soup, and then I washed the vegetables, cut the vegetables, pickled them, and prepared the materials for the evening.

"Xuanji, Xuanxuan slept with you last night?"

"Well, what's wrong"

"You two are done?"

"Nonsense, what do you say?"

"Don't pretend, lonely men and widows are in the same room, you are not as good as a beast or a beast"

Xu Lin's expression seemed very obscene to me, but Xu Lin didn't believe my words, young, hot-blooded men, lonely men and widows in the same room, if there was no story, it would be either a beast or a beast.

"Brother Xu Lin, can you be simple, between men and women, is there nothing else to do except that little thing?"

"Then what else do you say?"

"I, forget it, don't talk about it"

"Tell me, do you know how much I envy you, if a female student is so active, I must be a wolf"

"Wolf, you're big, the guests are coming, get out"

I shook my head and scolded, telling Xu Lin to get out, this guy is unbearable.

Xuanxuan didn't show up today, she didn't show up for three days in a row, Xu Lin began to be weird, saying that I missed a beautiful marriage, and I will definitely regret it in the future.

I didn't bother to pay attention to him, and began to count the income from selling noodles, a bowl of noodles for ten yuan, about five yuan for simple materials, and fifty percent of the gross profit, if you want to include the booth fee, seasoning, and electricity bills, it will only be about forty percent, and the sales volume is more than three hundred or four hundred a night these days, and the net income is more than 100 per day.

But I'm just getting started, and after a long time, the regular customers will stabilize, and the income will definitely increase, which I am sure of.

·······

As I expected, after more than half a month, my business was getting better and better, because the weather was getting cooler and cooler, and one dress was no longer enough for the evening, so I had to wear a light jacket.

When the weather is cold, there are more people who eat hot noodles, and slowly there are stable customers, such as some office workers, the night market is backed by Houtang and Shitang, two large urban villages, there are hundreds of thousands of migrant workers, and many people come back from work It is already 9 o'clock or 10 o'clock, and they don't fire themselves, so they rely on roadside stalls to solve dinner.

Cheap, tasty, and well-fed have become my most competitive tools here at the night market, and my business far outpaces that of the other noodle vendors, and I have started to get busy.

"Boss, old look, hurry up"

A few regular customers come every day, they don't have to choose what to eat, it's the same every day, as soon as they come, they say hello, and I hurriedly start to make noodles.

"Hey, have you heard, Xiaolin and his group are all dead, and the construction site is going to be stopped"

"I heard that I died so miserably, I heard that the whole shed was full of blood, and even our construction site had to be rectified, and the boss was going crazy"

"What does it have to do with your side, aren't they two construction sites?"

"There are two construction sites, but the workers are mixed, and the contractors are all in the same batch, and the key is that the murder weapon has not been found and is missing."

"No, have you heard anything?"

"I heard..."

Just as I was getting slimmer, a few people dressed as famous farmers were talking about things, which attracted the attention of Xu Lin and me.

These people are regular customers of Xu Lin and me, and they come over every night, order a bowl of noodles every day, and then have some cooked food with marinade, plus a few bottles of beer, and can sit for an hour.

"Boss, what's going on on your construction site, I've heard a lot of people talking about this today."

Xu Lin took the initiative to sit down and ask them, these workers are from Sichuan and Shu, and Xu Lin is half a fellow countryman, with a similar accent, and can talk better than me.

"Boss, there are a lot of stories here, you send me a braised chicken, I'll talk to you about it."

One of them looked at Xu Lin as a gossip and wanted to eat something, but Xu Lin naturally refused, a braised chicken cost more than 100 yuan, you came and I bargained, Xu Lin finally sent a spoonful of peanuts.

"Here's the thing, the day before yesterday, something was dug up at the No. 2 construction site, and they worked overtime at night, and the supervisor was not there, Xiaolin, they divided everything, and there was an accident last night..."

A few workers, you said a lot of words, I said a lot of eyebrows, I listened to it for a long time, and finally knew what was going on.

The night before yesterday, the construction site next to their work was digging a ditch, and the excavator dug up something, either an ancient tomb or a cellar of a large ancient family, with silver dollars, gold and silver jewelry and other things, and then at night, the supervisors were lazy and didn't notice, and a group of workers divided up the things.

This kind of thing is very common for them, if someone finds out, it will naturally be handed in, but no one sees it, then it will be extra money.

But I didn't expect that something happened last night, some people are sleeping in the shed, that is, the kind of container transformation or the kind of shed built by themselves, generally four or six people live, and the shed where Xiaolin is located in their mouth has an accident, three died, and one went crazy.

The scene is extremely bloody, the ground is full of blood, several dead workers seem to have been hacked to death, many people came today, the whole construction site was suspended, and then even the construction site for them had to be rectified, and they would have no work to do in the next few days.

"Xu Lin, what do you think?"

After listening to the story, I said to Xu Lin.

"What else can you see, Xuanji, you haven't been to the construction site, right?"

"yes, you know"

"To put it incorrectly, death on the construction site is frequent, not to mention those accidents, even the workers themselves are the same, the work pressure is high, plus the quality of the workers is uneven, some people love to drink and some people love to brag, the sources are miscellaneous, there are everywhere in the world, there are fights if you don't agree, and it is normal for dead people to die"

"No, don't fool me, that's not what I've heard."

"It's naturally much better now, I said before, my father used to work on the construction site for many years"

Xu Lin replied, now that the management is standardized, it will naturally not be so chaotic, but more than ten years ago, it was really like this, and the construction site was very chaotic.

"What does it have to do with what it used to be and what it does now?"

"Of course it has a relationship, now you have seen a few young migrant workers, the workers are still those workers, it is naturally good if you don't encounter something, and it will break out when you encounter something, listen to them, the day before yesterday, the construction site dug up the treasure, a burst of robbery, there must be someone who grabbed more, someone who grabbed less, guess what will happen?"

Xu Lin sneered, in his opinion, this is just a story of uneven distribution of spoils, when you dug up something, but no one will share it equally with you, whoever grabbed it counts whom, there must be more people and fewer people, naturally there are people who are not satisfied, and it is normal for something to happen.

Xu Lin's words make sense, but I have an uncomfortable feeling, I feel too indifferent, this is fatal.

"Forget it, Xuanji, let's not care so much, it has nothing to do with us"

"I know, okay, so be it"

I nodded, it really doesn't matter, the point is that we can't control it.

Perhaps the reason why the construction site had to be rectified and there was no need to go to work the next day, several workers asked for a lot of beer and marinade, and after 12 o'clock after eating and drinking, they left drunk when we were about to close the stall.

Xu Lin and I quickly collected the stall, then collected the stall back, put the things back to the urban village, and I walked towards the community, passing through the underground passage halfway.

"Ahh

But as soon as I entered the underground passage, I saw a person walking towards me, holding something in his hand, scratching on the wall of the underpass, making a screeching sound.

In the middle of the night, the underground passage was empty, which made me suddenly vigilant, and I slowed down, slowly approaching the man, and when I got closer, I realized that he was holding a short knife in his hand.

"What are you doing?"

At night, when I saw someone on the street with a short knife, I was startled, and I hurriedly shouted.

The man heard my shouting, and slowly raised his head, which surprised me at once, for I saw that his expression was dull, but his eyes were red, as if he were a demon.

"Hey, hey..."

The man's dull expression followed by a smile that made him look even more weird, but the next moment, he was running, running at me.

"Stop, what do you want to do"

I drank as I retreated, but he turned a deaf ear and still rushed up and slashed at him.

"Up"

With a low roar, I jumped up from the spot with both feet, and then stomped on the wall of the underground passage, and with the help of my strength, I flipped over the man and landed on the ground.

"Bump"

When I landed, I quickly stood up, reached out and threw my arms around the man's neck, knocking him down, and he fell to the ground.

I felt a chill in my arm, I must have been slashed by the short knife in his hand, but I couldn't care so much, one hand grabbed his hand, and then rode on top of him, holding him down.

"Ho, ho..."

The man's mouth made a ho-ho sound, like a wild beast, and his strength was very strong, and I pressed him so hard that I was almost overturned by him several times.

It was like this for a minute or so, the man suddenly rolled his eyes, fainted, I slowly let go of my hand, sat aside and gasped, just this minute, almost all my strength was spent, this guy's strength is too great.

"This, this is..."

After resting for a while, I regained a little strength, and then I looked down and found that I was shocked to find that my arm had been cut open and was bleeding, but the blood flowed like a line to the short knife next to me, and then disappeared.

Yes, the blood that flowed from that short knife was gone, as if it had been drunk by this knife, and it shook my heart.
