Chapter 14: Distress

Just raised his feet and was ready to have a full meal, his mobile phone rang.

Xia Yang glanced at it, and the caller ID was Foreman Liu.

During this time, except for Lu Qingyu's occasional call, no one contacted him at all.

Xia Yang had already resigned from his work on the construction site, why did Foreman Liu call? With some doubts, he pressed the answer button.

"Hey, Uncle Liu, what's the matter?"

Foreman Liu's honest voice soon came from the other end of the phone: "Hehe, it's nothing, you have worked under me for a lot of time, and now that you are leaving, I want to invite you to a meal." ”

The smile was extremely reluctant, and his voice trembled slightly, as if he had encountered something terrible or sad, and the sound was deliberately calm.

"Eat, where to go?" is a good thing, Xia Yang's favorite activity lately is to eat. Hearing the meal, Xia Yang didn't notice the strangeness of Foreman Liu's voice.

"In Room 207 of Juxian Restaurant, you can come quickly. Foreman Liu's voice was anxious, with a strong sense of urging.

It was a four-star hotel, and although Foreman Liu's salary was much higher than that of other workers, he was very careful about spending money to provide for his son and daughter to go to college. Although I usually invite workers to eat together, they are usually roadside stalls or ordinary fried noodle restaurants.

Why did you suddenly invite yourself, a temporary worker who quit halfway, to Juxian Restaurant today?

I can't make sense of it.

Something is wrong.

"Okay, I'll be there shortly. Xia Yang said yes, his brain was running rapidly, but he couldn't figure out why Foreman Liu made such a play.

Whatever he is, the soldiers will come to block the water and cover the earth. Xia Yang put aside his doubts and took big strides in the direction of Juxian Restaurant.

Xia Yang had just walked out of the urban village, but saw a figure staggering over with vague steps.

It was Wu Dazui, perhaps because he drank wine and thought unsteadily when he walked. When he got closer, he didn't smell any wine, but he saw an unnatural pale on his face.

"What's wrong?" asked Xia Yang, a helpful contemporary model neighbor who lives under the same roof after all.

"It's none of your business, it's up to you. Wu Dazui waved his arm and continued to walk towards the Caigangfang dormitory.

Xia Yang still had something to do, so he didn't pay much attention to him, and continued to rush towards Juxian Restaurant.

According to the information given by Foreman Liu, Xia Yang pushed open the door of room 207.

A strong smell of secondhand smoke filled the room.

Foreman Liu sat slumped in the corner of the room, his face full of sorrow and vicissitudes, as if he had aged dozens of years in a few days.

His eyes were blank, and he stared at the ceiling in a daze, holding a half-lit cigarette in his hand. And beside him, there were already dozens of cigarette butts scattered.

This is no longer a confident and funny foreman, but more like a frightened madman.

Hearing the sound of the door, Foreman Liu seemed to be half awakened, and suddenly stood up, with a hoarse and trembling tone: "You're here, you're finally here." Thank God...... Thank goodness ......"

Without waiting for Xia Yang to react, Foreman Liu hurriedly closed the door and locked it.

"Please, help me, please, I'm going crazy...... Please......" Foreman Liu knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.

Obviously, Foreman Liu was overly frightened and was already a little nervous.

"Calm down and speak slowly. Xia Yang calmed Foreman Liu's emotions while pouring a cup of hot tea and handed it to him,

"You...... If you can save me, you will definitely save me, right?" Foreman Liu picked up his cup tremblingly and curled up in a ball.

As he spoke, his teeth kept colliding, and there was a "da-da-da" sound as he spoke.

Foreman Liu still remembers Xia Yang's 'magic stick' behavior, which was the last straw he could hold.

He watched Xia Yang sit down and swallowed with difficulty.

"I ...... I've got a ghost...... It's true! It's true!" Foreman Liu subconsciously shrank back, his eyes bloodshot, frightened and frightened.

"Do you still remember Wang Laosan?" Foreman Liu's voice trembled, and he asked with difficulty.

Wang Laosan is a slightly chubby middle-aged man, Xia Yang has some impressions of him, in his memory, Wang Laosan often mingles with Foreman Liu because he has a son who is preparing for the college entrance examination.

Foreman Liu's family has a son and a daughter who have been admitted to university, and Wang Laosan often wants Foreman Liu to learn from him and ask him how to manage his children's studies.

Seeing Xia Yang nodding, Foreman Liu took a few deep breaths, hoping to calm down his mood: "Just three days ago, that is, the day after you left the construction site. Wang Laosan is dead...... What died in front of me was a safety accident. A steel bar fell from the thirtieth floor and directly penetrated Wang Laosan's head...... I was right next to ......."

Foreman Liu closed his eyes and shook his head desperately, he didn't want to recall the scene at that time: "His son has been admitted to the university and has just received the notice...... One second it's showing off in front of my eyes, the next second it's ...... The next second it's dead!"

The leaders of the project department learned of this incident, although Wang Laosan did not wear a safety helmet in violation of the law at that time, and the company should not bear all the responsibility, but the project department still paid a large amount of funeral expenses to Wang Laosan's family in accordance with their own 100% responsibility...... After that, Wang Laosan was buried, and I saw him buried in the soil with my own eyes!" Foreman Liu looked excited, and his voice involuntarily became louder.

"Because I have always had a good relationship with Wang Laosan, I drank a lot of stuffy wine outside the night I buried him. Foreman Liu's eyes were wide open, and his blood-red eyeballs almost jumped out of his sockets.

"When I returned to the dormitory, it was already late, but when I opened the dormitory door, I vaguely saw a familiar figure squatting next to my bed......" Foreman Liu took a sip of the hot tea in his hand, he was trying to calm his mood:

"This is my dormitory with Wang Laosan, and few people usually come to visit the door. When I turned on the light, I saw Wang Laosan carrying a bottle of Hengshui Laobaigan...... I was so drunk that I forgot that Wang Laosan was dead......"

"I ...... I drank wine with a dead man all night!"

Xia Yang frowned: "Are you sure it's Wang Laosan who is already dead?" After a person dies, the three souls and seven spirits are not bound by the physical body, and the souls are scattered. Only when a cultivator understands the method of restraint can he keep his soul alive and become a 'ghost'.

After ordinary people die, it is difficult to keep their souls alive, let alone borrow corpses to return their souls.

If what Foreman Liu said is true, then it is very likely that Wang Laosan has become a special species called the walking corpse due to a mistake!
