Zhao Baoxuan was very shocked.

She asked Zhang Wuwei afterwards: "Was I particularly stupid at that time?"

She knew very well that she was stunned, it turned out to be you, this sentence almost blurted out, and when the tip of her tongue was swallowed back, she accidentally bit her tongue, and she was choked by saliva and coughed.

Niu Jianqiang also thought that Zhao Baoxuan was laughing at him for doing a small job: "Hey, it's not easy to make money, the boss ran away, the wages couldn't be paid, and no one made the decision for us, so we had to tear down the doors and windows to sell." ”

Zhao Baoxuan coughed for a while and breathed a sigh of relief: "Captain Liu, I don't mean anything else, I just thought, how much money do I have to earn to earn back the money for the road expenses after running so far to do things?"

Niu Jianqiang sighed: "I heard a former worker tell me, they said that they would give double the salary, take care of food and housing, and reimburse the travel expenses, I thought that I had never seen the sea, took my luggage, bought a ticket with all the money on my body, and followed the worker." ”

Zhao Baoxuan asked, "You are the only one in the village who went with you?"

These words seemed to ask Niu Jianqiang's sore spot, and he sighed again: "It would be good if I went alone, I thought of such a good thing, I can't make a fortune by myself, the village brought more than a dozen people with me." ”

These dozen people are also a small engineering team, and they can do a lot of work on the construction site, and they can earn a lot of wages if they really want to settle.

Before they set off, they were all very happy, and they were still discussing on the way to earn money, and when they came back, they would build a new house in the village, and then repair the ancestral hall to carve beams and paint buildings!

Zhao Baoxuan knew what happened after Mocun lent the land, and she sympathized with them in her heart: "It's too far away from my hometown, I have no relatives and no reason, and I can only endure the loss." ”

Niu Jianqiang was a little surprised, he didn't expect Zhao Baoxuan to speak to him, his tone softened, he no longer sighed, and comforted Zhao Baoxuan in turn: "It's not too much of a loss, more than a dozen of us, others can't bully if they want to, the initial salary is over, and the remaining half of the salary is said to be given in half a year, saying that if we don't have time to go, we will send it from the post office." We're done with our work, and we don't have any money to stay there, and they don't have any food, and we can't get used to the food there, so I'm left with two relatives over there waiting for the others to buy tickets and come back. ”

He doesn't need to say the rest of the matter, Zhao Baoxuan can guess it.

First, they watched the developers advertise and sell their houses, and then laundered their own wages and counted their wages, waiting for the boss to settle all their wages for them, and then returned with a thick load of banknotes. Who knew that things took a turn for the worse later, the house could not be sold, and the wages promised to them could not be settled, so the boss first shirked, then defaulted, and finally simply ran away, looking for no one to give them money.

"That community is unfinished, it's a pity!" Zhao Baoxuan remembered the park-style home concept in the community: "If it is not unfinished, it will really be like a royal back garden." ”

Niu Jianqiang was startled: "Miss Zhao, you know?"

Zhao Baoxuan came back to her senses and hurriedly remarked: "I saw an advertisement on TV, didn't I invite that big beauty to shoot an advertisement? I was very envious at that time." I really didn't expect you, Captain Niu, to be there!"

Niu Jianqiang waved his hand: "Alas, don't mention it, okay, anyway, we couldn't get the money at that time, we had no money for dinner, and the village didn't give it, so we went to smash the glass in a fit of anger, and then our fellow villagers said that it was better to tear down these doors and windows and sell scrap iron." ”

Zhao Baoxuan continued to ask: "Won't those who collect the rags collect them themselves?

Niu Jianqiang tilted his head and thought about it: "When you say that, I remember, there was really no one to collect the rags at that time, anyway, no one stopped us when we started, ah, by the way, no one in the village entered that community." He explained embarrassedly: "We are also real people and have no money, anyway, we sold scrap iron and sold enough money for train tickets and our wages, so we left." After spending more than two months in that place, we didn't even count our own food and drink, and our own money. ”

In short, they are good citizens and do not want to suffer, but they will never take advantage of others.

Niu Jianqiang said as he led them to the largest orchard in the village: "These trees are hundreds of years old, I just called someone to drive the children away, otherwise there will be people on every tree when you look up!"

Zhao Baoxuan couldn't help laughing, it's so fun to be a child in Jincun!

There are fruits on the trees, and you can dig birds' nests, this is simply Tao Yuanming's paradise.

She turned to her photographer: "Uncle Wei, choose a scene for me!"

Zhang Wuwei found an opportunity to walk to Zhao Baoxuan's side and whispered to her, "Go on, basement." ”

I'll have to keep asking.

Zhao Baoxuan puffed out her cheeks, this task is a bit difficult.

However, she will still muster up the courage to ask, if she can find information from this side of Xiaocheng's case and can progress, she will soon have the opportunity to go to Xiaocheng again, and then go to Lao Han's house.

After taking a few more pictures, she pointed to the fruit on the tree and exclaimed, "What kind of fruit is this? Can you eat it?"

"Jujube!" Niu Jianqiang said: "This kind of jujube bears fruit early, but it grows very slowly, and it can only ripen when it is almost the Mid-Autumn Festival." ”

As she was talking, Zhao Baoxuan found that there were still small fruits falling from the tree under her feet, although they were all blackened, but they could be clearly seen: "Why did it fall off before it was ripe?"

It's a pity to look at it, but there is a lot of fruit on the tree.

At first glance, the village did not arrange for people to take good care of these fruit trees, leaving them to fend for themselves.

Niu Jianqiang said: "Then it must be dropped! There are so many flowers on the tree, if all of them bear fruit, they will not grow big, if there is a wind and a rain, the one that should fall will fall, and the one that can't fall can grow, so that it can grow to the end, and then eat it at that time to be delicious, we basically didn't climb the jujube tree when we were young, and there were many people climbing the orange tree and peach tree." ”

Zhao Baoxuan asked, "The fruit is not delicious when it is not ripe, right?"

It's sour and astringent, and my teeth are numb when I hear it.

Niu Jianqiang smiled: "It's definitely not delicious if it's not ripe, we all pick those that are just ripe, aren't the children hungry? Looking at the pomegranate trees over there, they can be eaten even if they are not ripe, and I love to eat them. At that time, when I was waiting for the account to have nothing to eat, we would pick this up and eat it. ”

Zhao Baoxuan finally found another opportunity to bring the words back: "Captain Niu, do you mean to ask for accounts over there in Xiaocheng? They also have pomegranate trees in your village?"

Niu Jianqiang was stunned for a moment: "Ah, yes!"

"It's amazing, I thought the pomegranate tree was only in the Yucheng area. Zhao Baoxuan finally turned the topic back, racked her brains and dragged it to Mocun: "Did you bring the seeds from the village and plant trees over there?"

This excuse is very blunt.

Zhao Baoxuan didn't know if Captain Niu could catch this stubble.

She was a little weak-hearted, but she didn't dare to look at Zhang Wuwei.

Niu Jianqiang snorted: "If you bring seeds to plant them yourself, it will take five or six years, and if it takes five or six years to build a house, the boss will die! We will build a house in our own house and in the village, and the second floor of the small will be built in half a year." ”

And planting trees, really.

Zhang Wuwei put away his camera and walked over and asked, "Captain Niu, have you been to Xiaocheng before, and have you been to other construction sites in other places?"

Niu Jianqiang seemed to have palpitations, shook his head and said: "I must have gone out, the fishing city is not big, how can there be so many construction sites, if you want to make money, you have to go to other places, but I have never run so far again." ”

"Is the construction site you mentioned now unfinished?

"Yes!"

Zhao Baoxuan watched the conversation between the two of them, and then remembered that if her boss was over there ten years ago, and Captain Niu was there seven or eight years ago, then why didn't the two of them meet?

It stands to reason that one is engaged in project supervision, and the other is moving bricks, even if you don't know each other, you have taken a photo, right?

"It stands to reason that they didn't settle the project payment for you, even if you dismantle the parts and sell them yourself, as long as there is a contract, you can still pay you if you go to them again. Zhang Wuwei said slowly: "Now the method of disposal is different, and it is impossible for a piece of land to rot there for so many years." ”

Niu Jianqiang smiled bitterly: "What kind of contract do we need to work? They are all fellow villagers with fellow villagers, and the foreman of the family looks at you and says that you can do it, let alone the contract, there is not even a white note." ”

Zhang Wuwei said: "How long have you been working there? What kind of project are you doing?"

Niu Jianqiang: "Laying the foundation! Originally, it could be done in one year, but the seawater inflow over there widened and deepened again, and it was done for more than two years and almost three years. Alas, don't mention it, it was one of the most tiring jobs I've ever done. ”

Zhao Baoxuan thought to herself, just the kind of seeping basement, there are traces of unfinished work everywhere, and it has been done for two or three years, so it is strange that the house can be sold.

"I've heard that the house doesn't sell and it's haunted. ”

Niu Jianqiang was startled: "Who did you listen to?"

Zhao Baoxuan blinked her eyes: "Someone said on the Internet, and it was said that it was a ghost town, and there were photos on the Internet, and the neighborhoods next to it were all sold, and some people lived, but no one lived in the community you said." ”

Anyway, the news on the Internet is true and false.

Niu Jianqiang frowned: "It's not a ghost town at all!"

Zhao Baoxuan simply told her story as a story on the Internet: "I see that there are still people on the Internet who say that someone found white bones over there, saying that there was a pervert who killed someone and destroyed the corpse there." ”

After saying this, she somehow felt a sense of relief all over her body, as if a big stone in her heart had been thrown out.

The strong head of the cow shook like a rattle: "Impossible, impossible, then you have to go down another seventy or eighty meters to have a white bone ......"

Zhao Baoxuan's eyes glared out: "Are there really white bones?!You dug the basement and dug seventy or eighty meters underground?"

God, the sea god's underground palace is not so deep.

Seven or eight years ago, detection tools could not detect 50 meters underground, how did this 70 or 80 meters data come from?

According to their archaeological knowledge, if you go seventy or eighty meters underground, and there is a trajectory of human activities, it must be at least five or six thousand years ago, which belongs to the last earth civilization!

Niu Jianqiang realized that he had said the wrong thing: "I came back to listen to what Mu Sanye said." ”

Zhang Wuwei: "...... Mu Sanye has been to Xiaocheng?"

Niu Jianqiang shook his head, thought about it and nodded as if he was determined: "I don't know if Mu Sanye has been there, at that time, the fellows who went out to work together first walked back to the village, and told the village chief and Mrs. Mu about the past and back, and then Mu Sanye didn't see anyone for half a year, and the people in the village thought that Mu Sanye was going to pick us up." But we haven't seen Mu Sanye in Xiaocheng either, but we wonder if Mu Sanye must have made some tricks behind his back, otherwise it would not have been so smooth for us to tear down windows, dismantle doors, and sell scrap iron. ”

Zhao Baoxuan was surprised: "Mu Sanye will do things?"

"Yes!" Niu Jianqiang did not deny: "Since then, all those who have come out to pick up work in our village have all asked Mu Sanye to show the land before they start working." ”

"Didn't you do it before?" Zhang Wuwei thought that since Mu Sanye knew how to do things, he must have learned it from Old Master Mu.

Since the craft has been passed down from generation to generation, it must have been preserved in Jincun for many years.

Niu Jianqiang didn't say anything: "I haven't done it before, so I don't know." ”

Zhao Baoxuan became interested: "Then you asked Mu Sanye later, how did he see it seventy or eighty meters down, what's going on?"

She knew that Xiaocheng was an ancient country more than 2,000 years ago, but she didn't expect that the social soil layer at that time was so deep underground.

This is very archaeological!

Niu Jianqiang shook his head: "We don't dare to ask this, it's not that Mu Sanye doesn't say it, this is the rule, you can't ask." ”

"We can't ask either?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen Mu Sanye deal with people outside. ”

"What happens if you accidentally ask?"

"Men, don't marry a wife for the rest of your life, and don't marry for a woman. ”

Zhao Baoxuan: "......"

She immediately thought of Wang Cuiyu's classmate, the female classmate who never went out in the village before graduating from middle school.

"Have you ever asked anyone in your village?"

"There is one. ”

"Then how is she now?" Zhao Baoxuan thought so naïvely, it's not a bad thing not to marry, she is leisurely self-sufficient here in Jincun, and there is nothing wrong with being an old man who lives alone: "Is it really not married?"

Niu Jianqiang nodded: "Staying in the clan temple in the village, she has never come out since the day she asked." ”

"What did she ask? Didn't she even let her go back to her own house?"

That's terrible, isn't it?

The village chief's father shouldn't have given that piece of land to someone else to build a villa.

Because many, many years ago, thousands of years ago, it used to be a bustling city.

Ordinary people are not allowed to have fun in it.
