Chapter 15: The Mystery of the Burial Place
My beard and I barely stopped, and as soon as we had brought up fifteen truckloads of cement, one of the helpers shouted again, "That means, there are five truckloads of bricks missing......
The cement is okay, as long as my brothers use shovels to rub it, they can get it, and the green bricks, we have to lower our bodies and pick them up in groups of five.
After less than an hour, my beard and I were tired and sweaty, and at first glance, we looked like mud ghosts. The beard was a little angry, and he scolded and said, "Aren't we stupid? There are good hotels that don't wait, and there are good air conditioners that don't blow, so we have to come here in the scorching sun to do some kind of work." ”
I straighten my beard, first, there is no air conditioning in the inn at all, so don't dream of blowing cool air, and second, we came here mainly to find out the news, especially to inquire about the burial ground, so it has nothing to do with being stupid or not.
I certainly don't want to be so busy all the time. I said to Hu Zi again, "When we carry cement up later, we will take the opportunity to see if we can talk to these workers." ”
The beard nodded and said yes.
This time, the two of us pushed the cart up to the bridge, which had just been made and was still potholed. Beard and I deliberately took a slow stance, after all, the cart was very strenuous, and I took the opportunity to look at the helpers.
They are very scattered, almost all of them are in groups of threes and twos, and don't look at them before they come into contact with these people, but I have an evaluation that these people are very unqualified.
Most of them speak Chinese, but some speak Tibetan. I don't understand Tibetan, but those who speak Chinese, no matter what they say, their opening Zen always starts with a sentence of your mother.
I didn't want to pick up and scold inexplicably, and after passing by these people in turn, I savored it, and finally I became interested in two men not far away.
These two people are honest and honest, they both have an honest face, and they don't talk much, silently squatting on the ground, plastering cement.
I motioned to the beard, and we deliberately unloaded the cart of cement next to the two men.
One of them, a chubby man, turned his head to look. Then he got up, carrying a shovel and cement.
The beard laughed first, and laughed very kindly, and he said to Han Fat, "Brother, you continue to wipe it, and the cement work, I will help you get it done." ”
Fat grinned, turned around and squatted down again.
The beard is very positive, probably because he wants to build a good relationship and leave a good impression on this chubby man's heart first.
The beard is really unambiguous, and he carries a shovel, which is a busy job. I was half a beat slower, and then I thought to myself, is it really good that this guy is so positive?
The beard took advantage of the time to wink at me, that means, come together.
Generally, when it comes to cement, make a pit in the cement pile first, and then pour water into it.
At this time, I saw that the water in the cement pit was a little low, and it happened that there was a pump not far away.
I carried the bucket and went to the pump to get some water first.
And after such a delay back and forth, the beard has been made a little. The beard also shouted at the fat man, asking him if this cement is okay?
The chubby man looked at it and stood up lazily. He walked over and filled a small pile of cement with a mud slab, and without saying anything, he walked over again and continued to crouch on the ground to work.
The beard was slightly stunned. I just happened to bring the water back and pour it into the pit of the cement pile.
The beard was a little speechless, and after thinking about it, he opened his mouth and shouted to the fat man, "Hey, brother, I want to ask you something." ”
This fat man didn't raise his head, it could be seen that he didn't take his beard seriously at all, and he answered at this time and said, "Work, don't talk nonsense, you continue to break with mud, stupid!"
The beard almost fryed, and when I think about it, this fat man actually scolded the beard like this.
Beard couldn't help but clench the shovel, and if I hadn't secretly dragged him in time, I guess he would have used the shovel to flatten the fat man's skull.
I whispered to the beard, that means, these are rough people, don't be like them.
Beard hated his teeth, and replied, "What are the coarse people? Holy, why don't I see them call themselves stupid?" ”
The beard didn't want to ask any more questions, so we put down our shovels and buckets, and pushed the cart again, and we were about to leave.
When the fat man saw this scene, he sighed, and he called out to the two of us, "Don't go, finish this pile of cement." ”
Beard snorted and replied, "Your father is tired, find your grandfather to continue the relationship." ”
The chubby man stood up, he muttered a few more words, but he didn't rush over to find trouble, it is estimated that he weighed it and felt that he was not the opponent of the beard, and he made an appointment and made trouble in the governor's palace, and the end result was that both sides were expelled.
After I got off the bridge with Beard, Beard complained to me, saying that it was not okay to go on like this, and that it was imperative to find someone who was reliable and could speak.
I subconsciously set my eyes on the edge of the pond, and the old man was still carving flowers on the handrails by himself. At first glance he seemed lonely, but I thought the old man might be able to tell us something.
I stole at the old man. I also said to the beard, "After a while, we will divide the work, one of us is tired and carries it by himself, and the other person takes advantage of the time to make contact with the old carpenter." ”
Hu Zilian said yes, and before I could say anything more, he patted my chest again, and preemptively said, "You wait for the news of my victory." ”
When I was a little distracted, the beard left me and walked over to the old man with a grin.
Actually, I wanted to talk about it, but I was preempted by the beard, so I had to give him the opportunity.
I'm not the kind of person who likes to be lazy and calculating. I put my energy back on the cart.
To be honest, I pushed a cart to the bridge to transport things by myself, which was really tiring, especially the sweat on my body, which almost soaked my clothes.
During this time, I also looked at the side of my beard.
He squatted next to the old carpenter, but he talked and laughed with the old carpenter. Half an hour later, when I was pushing the empty car and getting off the bridge, I noticed that the beard had returned.
He was sitting on a pile of green bricks smoking a cigarette and had a serious expression on his face.
I thought to myself, what's going on? What's going on in that burial place? What's even going on? He was shocked.
I tried my best to speed up the cart, and when I was with my beard, I asked him to tell him what was going on.
The beard looked at me and brushed off the remaining cigarette butts, and he shrugged his shoulders and replied helplessly, "Damn, I didn't ask anything." ”
I almost stumbled, and it definitely had something to do with my state of mind at the moment. I lost my beard, so you didn't even give a fucking shit? How could it be? You've been with him all this long!
Beard told me about what he had just experienced. In order to get close to the old carpenter, he first praised the old carpenter's workmanship, and the old carpenter was very interested in telling him some carpenter's skills while carving, which took almost twenty minutes, and then the beard changed the subject, and asked about the governor's palace, especially the burial place.
But the old carpenter actually took a curious posture and asked the beard, "What is the burial ground?"
When I tasted my beard, my first reaction was, is there no burial place in this governor's mansion at all? But I believe that in this kind of matter, Fang Haoyu will not go wrong, and I thought of a possibility, saying that this old carpenter may also be new, and he doesn't know what is in the governor's mansion at all.
I complained to the beard. The beard sighed bitterly. And the fuck thing is, Bian Ba suddenly appeared with a few subordinates, and there was Brother Nu in it, he was like a pug, accompanied by Bian Ba,
This belongs to the leaders to inspect the work. The helpers stopped talking nonsense, they took out the posture marked with their shoulders, and the beard and I were also miserable because of this, and began to carry the heavy load.
It was two o'clock in the afternoon when I heard the bell ringing. The helpers all stopped working, and they walked down the bridge in twos and threes.
Hu Zizi and I guessed that it was time for the lunch break, and here in Dawang, lunch and lunch break were two to three hours later than in Ha City.
The first time I came here, I didn't know where to eat, but we both had a stupid trick.
We followed the crowd and followed behind the workers.
The beard is energetic again, and wants to inquire with these workers again on the way. But I don't know how, these workers were very repulsive to the two of us, and when Beard tried to come to them, they deliberately hid and kept a distance from Beard.
I suspected someone had said something, or chewing their tongue or something, and I told the beard to stop being busy.
Just like that, a group of us came to an open-air cafeteria.
The canteen is actually a makeshift building, with a place to serve food in the center, surrounded by plastic tables and chairs.
In the center, there are four women in white coats, who are supposed to be the maids of the governor's palace, and they also serve as waiters for the meal. The four women were all a little beautiful, and they stood side by side in front of a cabinet with a large iron basin with a large pot of dishes.
The helpers went to a corner to pick up the plates, and I noticed that many of the workers were a little embarrassed. When they lined up to eat, those eyes glanced at the four maids.
But these four maids all showed a posture of ignoring them, and they didn't have a good face for the workers. As for these workers, they didn't care at all about the expressions of the four maids, the workers at the front of the line, and occasionally blew a hooligan whistle.
I said in my heart that this is the so-called cheap skin, otherwise there would be no other explanation.
After Beard and I took the dinner plate, we stood at the back of the line in an orderly manner, and from time to time, we talked a few nonsense.
Suddenly, I heard an argument and both my beard and I looked up.
At the front of our line, a maid with a ball-headed head and a pointed chin was scolding the chubby man.
This maid was originally very beautiful, especially when she was angry, and it gave her another indescribable taste. While serving a meal to the fat man, she said, "What are you looking at my chest? Don't you know what your status is? It's just a stinky worker, what kind of hooligan!"
The fat man was still smiling evilly, and winked at his companions around him, as if he were so great, but the last words of this pretty girl pierced his heart like a knife.
It is said that beating people does not slap their faces, and if you want me to say, this girl is really in a hurry, so she said such humiliating words.
The chubby man put away his evil smile, he also got angry with the beard when he was working in the morning, and I found that this person was quite popular. Finally, with a cold face, he took the plate full of rice.
But when he turned to leave, he saw the old carpenter who had just finished serving the meal in the line next to him.
He actually used the old carpenter as a punching bag, and he scolded, "Fuck you." He stretched out his hand again and pulled it over to the old carpenter's plate......
