Chapter 147: The Moon is Black and the Wind is High (Part II)
Although he was unconvinced, thinking of the pain of being forcibly demolished before, Li Sanlaizi still couldn't help beating the drum in his heart. He made a request to the construction team: After today's work is done, all the workers will stay at his house to spend the night with him. This was to embolden himself, because if someone did come to demolish it at night, the workers would not be able to protect him. The head of the construction team naturally declined this outlandish request, which was clearly outside the scope of his business. The workers were not stupid - the rebuilt house was not yet finished, and the only room that could be lived in was the employer's original room, but the house was too small to accommodate so many people, and after dark more than half of the people had to be pushed to sleep in the courtyard.
"In the evening, I will invite you to the restaurant in the village to drink, and then I will pay each of you for accommodation!" After several negotiations, Li Sanlaizi found that he had lost his command, so he reluctantly offered the most favorable terms, and finally moved two young men under the age of 20. The rest of those who have wives and children don't care about this "welfare" and insist on going back.
By the end of the afternoon, the clouds in the sky were getting deeper and heavier, and at the same time, a cool breeze swept by, blowing the dust on the ground and burrowing into people's necks, making people shiver. "It's going to rain. The leader of the construction team looked at the sky and sighed.
At this time, the two young men did not want to stay, and listened to the master who built the wall together, the interior of the house was very poorly decorated, and they were afraid that after the rain, it would be damp and cold and even leaking. "No, I'll pay you the accommodation fee, and you have to keep your word after collecting the money!" In front of the two children, Li Sanlaizi still has the capital to blow his beard and stare at him.
The two young men rolled their eyes in unison: Come on, there is wine and money, wait until the wine and food are in your stomach and the money is in your pocket! The ghost ideas that the two of them have turned out are far better than the construction skills they have mastered.
After the sun set, it became darker because the moon was obscured by clouds. The two young men and Li Sanlaizi staggered out of the simple farmhouse restaurant. Accompanied by the employer back to his house, the two said that they had drunk high tonight, and they were afraid that they would vomit in the house and get too dirty, so they would go out to blow the wind and sober up first, and then come back when the drunkenness subsided. In fact, when they left Li Sanlaizi's house, they went straight to the Internet café in the village, and used the accommodation fee advanced by Li Sanlaizi to brush up all night, until Li Sanlaizi stayed in the room and fell asleep and did not come back. In the afternoon, when it seemed to be raining, the two boys had already realized that if someone really came to demolish it, they would suffer from the pond fish.
The rain did fall, although it was only drizzling, but they didn't bring umbrellas, so they were even more reluctant to leave the Internet café. The bedridden Li Sanlaizi did not sleep peacefully at first, and the rustling of rain and the whistling wind filled his ears from time to time, making his mind even more irritable. It was a long time before he got used to the constant sound outside, and he fell asleep under the influence of alcohol. He had a nightmare that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and his house and "city wall" finally collapsed under the heavy rain because it was a tofu slag project. Boom! He was awakened by the loud noise.
Just as he was about to rub his sleepy eyes, he heard the aftermath of the rumbling sound. Wasn't it a dream! Wasn't it a dream? Before he could open his eyes, a strong smell of smoke entered his nostrils. It's on fire! Li Sanlaizi was shocked, his eyes widened, but he was smoked with tears. In the darkness, he rolled out of bed, struggled to his feet by the flickering fire outside the window, and felt his room surrounded by smoke that was getting thicker and thicker. He limped out of the house, but saw that the light raindrops were still falling densely, the cool breeze was still blowing, and the part he had built, his "wall", was covered with flames, and only his brick house was spared. Clusters of flames swayed in the wind and rain, burning higher and higher, until at last they became a sea of fire, engulfing all the buildings he had built, and rushing at him again.
Someone set fire! Li Sanlaizi, who was in a panic, suddenly realized. Yes, on such a rainy night, even if the rain is not heavy, the ordinary fire should not burn so strongly, and the brick house alone is safe and sound, someone must have poured gasoline and other fuels on the built building. Li Sanlaizi was about to shout for help, when suddenly something seemed to fall from behind him, and he didn't have time to look back, so he was hit in the back of the neck by that thing, and his eyes went black and he fainted.
According to White Snake's impression, the fire seemed to have burned all at once.
The three of them discussed the issue of staying behind to observe the "city wall" at noon, and finally Yugong took her suggestion. All afternoon, she crouched in a well-placed cave and watched Li Sanlaizi's construction site, but unfortunately she did not get any useful information except to confirm that the person in charge of the construction was the cripple called "Li Sanlaizi" that Yugong said, and to hear some painless arguments between him and the workers. The tedious scene continued in her vision until the workers finished and night fell, and no other figure patronized the construction site. She felt tired, but it was dark and it began to rain again, and the dripping rain not only interfered with her vision, but also made her sleepy with the sound of the earth pouring through the hole. Late at night, she cheered up and used a telescope or even the naked eye to scan the situation around the "city wall" every few moments. Not long after she had lowered her binoculars and yawned her last time, a fire broke out on the side of the "wall". Because of the rain, at first, the white snake only thought it was a light on the ground, but in an instant, the fire spread and burned into a piece. The white snake was startled, and subconsciously touched his mobile phone: What should I do, contact Yugong? No, when they came from the town, the fire either burned down the place or was extinguished by the villagers. Almost at the same time as the rejection of this method, another thought arose in her mind: "There must be some evidence hidden in the "city walls" and the enclosed houses, so that someone must burn them, otherwise how can such a fire start on a rainy day? This was by no means an unfounded conjecture - she had seen "Daddy" take similar measures. Thinking of this, she took a few deep breaths and rushed out of the cave.
The biting wind swept the raindrops and the dirt road beneath our feet was unusually slippery, and it was dark all around. Rao is a white snake is light and sensitive, holding a telescope with night vision mode turned on as a night vision goggles, but he also staggered and almost fell several times. Rushing outside the fire, she seemed to smell a hint of gasoline, and found that the fire had not surrounded the entire construction site, and the original brick house had not been stained with sparks. She hesitated to break in to salvage the evidence that might have been left, when she suddenly saw a tall figure dangling from behind the brick house.
This is the back of a person, under the light of the fire, it can be seen that the height of this person is not less than 1. 90 meters, but he moved slowly and bent over, as if dragging something. He's coming, so soon, "Want to help?" White Snake couldn't help but shout at him.
He stopped and turned his head. Because he was far away, the white snake couldn't see that the other party's eyes burst out with deep surprise like his own. It's not him, this guy is covering his face! Her gaze swept down the masked man's hand, and it turned out that this guy was dragging a person! The white snake's hand trembled, and the telescope fell to the ground.
