Chapter 1: Misfortune Strikes
Ningdong City is located on the eastern coast of China, with the east wind of reform and opening up in the past 30 years, it has quietly become an international metropolis, with more than 10 million people from all over the world and per capita income exceeding 30,000 yuan.
After the protrusion of Ningdong City, countless people studied why it was able to create such a miracle, and one of the theories is related to feng shui - the feng shui pattern of Ningdong City is called "Dapeng Deshui". β
Ningdong City is like a Dapeng from the topography, a raised hill constitutes the body of Dapeng, there are large woods on the left and right sides, such as spreading wings, and because it is located in the open area along the coast, there is a huge space to flap its wings and fly, the huge ocean allows Dapeng to get water, there is endless food - wealth, so it is difficult to think about not making a fortune!
When the sun is blazing, the sun shines down like a fire, as if it can set everything on fire.
On a stone on the outskirts of Ningdong City, a huge stone machine makes a huge roar, one after another stones are "stuffed" into the machine, and the "spit" out are small pieces of stones - the rapid development of the economy has brought about a huge scale of infrastructure, one of which is the demand for stone.
Naturally, the quarry came into being, and the profits were quite good.
Fang Ming gritted the root of his teeth tightly, carried a big stone, and slowly walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Although there are all kinds of machinery in the quarry, there are after all; One; Root; Read, many places in the novel yb+du are still not accessible by machines, and this situation naturally requires manpower.
"Boom!"
Fang Ming's waist straightened, his shoulders shook, and nearly two hundred catties of stones flew out two meters away before slamming into the ground, stirring up a puff of smoke and dust.
"Damn, this kid is as strong as a cow."
"Yes, look at that waist, a typical male dog's waist, you can definitely rub three or five mothers-in-law in one night."
β¦β¦
Listening to the undisguised sound of discussion not far away, Fang Ming wiped a handful of sweat from his forehead, this ghost weather was too hot, and the saliva on the ground seemed to be able to evaporate with a "nourishment".
Fang Ming, who comes from a remote village, suddenly vomited blood and fainted while farming a month ago, and after being sent to the hospital, he found that he had heart and lung problems, needed long-term recuperation and used expensive imported medicines, and the family was in a difficult situation. As the eldest son in the family, he made a choice - to come out to work to alleviate the crisis in the family. However, with no education and no experience, the only thing he has is strength and a hurry to use money, so he can only find a job in a place like the stone quarry - this is his first day working here.
"Fang Ming, get over here, you're going to blow up the mountain!"
Following the shout, Fang Ming found that Xie Ting was waving to him fifty or sixty meters away, and then pointed behind him.
The stone mountain is huge and hard, and the efficiency of digging with a machine alone is too low, and many times it is simply blown up with explosives, which is the so-called bombing mountain.
It was very dangerous when it blew up the mountain, because the strong explosion brought with it the stones flying around, which were no worse than rifle bullets, and continued to kill people if they hit them.
So when he heard that the mountain was being blown up, Fang Ming shuddered, and when he turned around, there was a sudden mushroom smoke rising hundreds of meters away, as if it was an atomic bomb explosion.
"What the hell is this?"
A monster with a dragon's head and a horse's body suddenly burst out from the place of the explosion, and what made Fang Ming's soul fly even more was that the monster was rushing towards him, and the distance of several hundred meters flashed by, and it was in front of him at once.
I wanted to run, but it was too late, and the monster arrived in front of me and bit the back of my right hand violently!
Blood, gushing out all at once!
"Rub!"
Fang Ming shook his hand vigorously, wanting to shake off the monster that was biting on his hand, but where could he get rid of it? Not only could it not be shaken off, but the monster slowly shrank smaller and smaller, and it was actually burrowing into its right hand!
"Pounce!"
Fang Ming fell to the ground like a broken sack, just as the so-called disaster is not a one-way street, a stone that flew from nowhere smashed his head, and he simply fainted.
Seeing Fang Ming fall to the ground, Xie Ting was startled and rushed over, and when he looked closer, he found that a large amount of blood was pouring out of Fang Ming's broken forehead, splashing the ground wet at once.
"Fang Ming!"
Xie Ting immediately squatted down, and pressed the mouth on Fang Ming's forehead with his right hand, blood flowing like this would cost people's lives.
"You can't hold it like this, I'll come."
Zhao Anguo took off the clothes on his body and pressed them on Fang Ming's forehead desperately.
The monster with the body of the dragon head and horse still drilled into Fang Ming's right hand, but Xie Ting and Zhao Anguo, who were doing everything possible to stop Fang Ming's bleeding, couldn't see it, the monster drilled deeper and deeper, and after completely drilling in, Fang Ming's right hand bulged a small bag on the back of his hand, as if there was a small insect in it, and after a while, it slowly calmed down, as if nothing had happened.
"Huh?! No more bloodshed? β
Xie Ting was stunned for a moment, he found that Fang Ming's forehead was not bleeding.
"Huh? It's true. β
Zhao Anguo picked up the clothes that were pressed on Fang Ming's forehead and found that it was really bloodless.
"This ...... The wound is so small?? β
There was only a small wound on Fang Ming's forehead, it seemed as if he had been scratched by something?
Zhao Anguo's face changed greatly, he didn't speak for a long time, and finally reached out and touched Fang Ming's forehead a few times, his mouth trembled, and said, "This...... This one...... What's going on? β
"I ...... Where am I...... Know? β
Xie Ting was dumbfounded, this thing is too amazing, no, it's a little too! I looked down at my palm, and there was still a lot of blood on it!
It would be nice to have such a large wound to bleed so much, how could it be so small and healed so quickly?!
Slowly opening his eyes, Fang Ming immediately closed them again, and the strong sunlight stimulated his eyes to burst into a large number of tears at once.
"This ...... What's wrong? β
After a long while, Fang Ming opened his eyes again, except for Xie Ting and Zhao Anguo, he found that there was still a large circle of people around, all of whom were on the construction site.
"Just now when you blew up the mountain, you were hit by a stone, fainted, and shed a lot of blood."
Xie Ting recounted what had just happened aloud.
Turning over and sitting up, Fang Ming shook his head, and found that there was nothing unusual except for a little weight, and touched his forehead again, and found that there was only one wound that was too small to be smaller.
"I was stoned? It's true? β
Xie Ting was anxious when he heard this, spread out his palm, and said, "This is your blood, and there are still traces of your blood on Lao Zhao's clothes." β
"Yes, look at it, there was a lot of blood gushing out of your forehead just now, and I covered it with my clothes to stop the bleeding."
Zhao Anguo handed over the clothes, Fang Ming took a look, and found that there were really blood stains.
What's going on?
What the hell is going on?
Fang Ming glanced at Xie Ting, then at Zhao Anguo, and found that their expressions didn't look like they were laughing.
However, if what they said was true, the wound on his forehead couldn't be so small, right?
"Xie Ting, are you playing Fang Ming with Lao Zhao? Look at his forehead, that small gap is estimated to have been caught by the eldest girl at work last night, which looks like she was hit by a stone? β
"Yes, I think it's pig's blood, and Mengren aren't like this, right?"
β¦β¦
The people around laughed, obviously no one believed Xie Ting and Zhao Anguo's words, their faces were flushed, but they couldn't tell the current situation even if they were covered with mouths - who called Fang Ming that there was no injury on his forehead at all?
"It's scattered, what are you looking at, you don't have to work! Beware of my deduction of your wages. β
Fang Ming looked back and found that it was Liu Meng, the foreman of the stone field, and the people around him all dispersed with a "boom", leaving Fang Ming alone.
"Yo, what's going on?"
Liu Meng wiped the sweat from his face and glared at Fang Ming, as if he was an enemy from another world. The weather is too hot today, he is a fat man, sweating violently and his mood is naturally very bad, just now I saw someone gathered together on the wooden tower, and suddenly there was smoke in the seven holes, so he strode over.
"Heh, Brother Liu, it's nothing, isn't this a break time, let's get together and chat."
Zhao Anguo hurriedly explained with a smile, Liu Meng is the sky in the stone field, everything is up to him, he doesn't want to offend the other party.
"Humph! Except for this kid, everyone else is hurrying to work! β
Liu Meng waved his hand fiercely, and only after dispersing the people did he say to the other party: "Boy, it was you who fell to the ground just now, right?" β
Fang Ming was stunned for a moment, nodded, and said, "Yes, Brother Liu, what's wrong?" β
"You have a good body, why do you get dizzy when you work? Pack up your things, go to the finance and get a hundred yuan, let's get out, we don't want waste in the quarry! β
The work in the stone field is very heavy, not ordinary people can do it, the most important thing is to be in good health, this kid in front of him will faint from heat stroke after doing it for a while, Liu Meng doesn't want such a person, in case there is a good one, it will be a big trouble.
Fang Ming was anxious when he heard this, and said: "Brother Liu, I'm fine, I was hit in the head by a stone when I exploded the mountain just now, so I fainted, it's definitely not heat stroke!" β
Liu Meng was amused, pointed to Fang Ming's forehead and said, "Yo, this is really the hell of a day, your forehead is smoothβeven that little mark was smashed by a stone?" β
"This ......"
Fang Ming was dumbfounded, his forehead was slippery and shiny, it really didn't look like he had been hit by a stone!
"Zhao Anguo, they can prove ......"
After thinking about it for a long time, Fang Ming finally held back such a sentence.
Waving his hand impatiently, Liu Meng said, "Don't be verbose, get out, if you don't want to leave, I'll find someone to throw you out." β
Watching him walk out of the gate of the stone field with a small bag on his back, Liu Meng showed a smug smile on his face, "Grandma's, I only came to hook up with Xiaowen for one day, and I still have to leave you here?" Let me pick that little flower! β
The scorching sun was like fire, Fang Ming walked slowly with a small travel bag on his back, beads of sweat the size of soybeans came out of his forehead, but he didn't have the heart to wipe it.
"Grandma's, people are really stuffed with saliva when they drink water."
Fang Ming couldn't help but spit on the side of the road, he was kicked out of the stone field by Liu Meng half an hour ago, because his health was too poor.
Depressed, extremely depressed!
Sitting down on the side of the road, Fang Ming picked up a stone casually and threw it between his hands unconsciously.
Poor health?
He doesn't deny it without culture, but poor health is absolutely impossible, and he is as strong as a leopard when he is young! The work in the quarry is just a drizzle for yourself!
I finally found a job, but I was fired before I could do it for a day, if it wasn't for the money at home, there was nothing, and it would be a big deal to find it again, but now I can't afford to spend time!
"Ahh
Suddenly, Fang Ming's hand shook, and the stone that he didn't catch was thrown out.
"Huh?"
Fang Ming put the back of his right hand under his eyes, stared at it without blinking, and said after a while, "What the hell? Blinded? Why did I have a shadow on the back of my hand just now? β
Just now, Fang Ming found that a shadow suddenly appeared on the back of his right hand, and he naturally couldn't catch the stone when he was startled, but when he looked at it again at this time, he didn't find anything.
Scratching his head, Fang Ming looked at the stone that he had thrown a few meters away, wondering if it could be the cause of the stone.
After hesitating for a moment, curiosity finally prevailed over everything, Fang Ming stood up and walked over and cautiously stretched out his hand towards the stone.
"Rub!"
Fang Ming's hand quickly retractedβjust as his right hand touched the stone, a faint shadow immediately appeared on the back of his hand!
A layer of cold sweat broke out on his back, Fang Ming raised his head and looked at the sky, and found that the sun that hurt people's eyes with white flowers was still hanging high in the sky, and his heart settled down a little. Even if there are ghosts in broad daylight, they are not afraid.
After the fear in his heart slowly disappeared, Fang Ming's heart swelled up with a burst of surprise. The stone in front of me is obviously strange, and it may be able to sell for money!
Holding the stone in his hand and looking at it carefully, Fang Ming found that the strange stone was only the size of a fist, the skin was rough like a strand of sandpaper, there were some lines that he couldn't think what it was, the color looked gray-gray-green-green, how to look at it and there was not much difference from other stones in the mountains.
After studying for a long time, Fang Ming didn't see a reason.
"Forget it, don't care, take it and talk about it."
Fang Ming stuffed the stone into his travel bag and continued to stride in the direction of Ningdong City, it was useless to lose the work in the stone yard and be depressed, he had to hurry up and find another one!
