The weather is getting cooler day by day, but Guo Sanri's cemetery decided to expand the park at this time, and build a new garden along the northeast corner, which should be Park B in order. Liu always told Guo Sanri about this notice by phone. After a site visit, the project team decided to build another dirt road along the irregular circular courtyard wall on the periphery of the existing park to facilitate construction. In this way, the deceased will not be disturbed, and if there are no special needs, they generally do not need to walk through the main gate through the park, and Guo Sanri's daily work will not be disturbed too much.

Guo Sanri looked at the new planning renderings of the park, and felt that it was really interesting. If you don't expand outward, they already look like a very complete cemetery, although it has a small proportion of usable area, and from a distance it looks like a small island surrounded by a large circle of green vegetation, but it is very functional, and it is already a fairly mature park in terms of size. But after this latest plan came out, Park A that was built to build really became Park A, and it could no longer represent the entire park. The two gardens of A and B are like two irregular spheres attached to each other and combined into one, and if the two parks are built after they are built, the size of the two parks is also very similar, and it is not clear that they are divided into primary and secondary.

In the autumn, generally speaking, other companies' projects are already in the stage of completion and shutdown, and even if there are unfinished projects, they usually have to wait until the next spring to continue to start. There are some reasons why their cemetery started construction at this time, but fortunately, the amount of work is not very large, and there is no big problem with the overall feasibility. A park, although it seems to occupy a vast area, but if the terrain is suitable, there are not many places that need to be built manually, especially like Guo Sanri, who is already in operation, all aspects are perfect, the main project can be completed before the end of the year, and the layout of the line and the greening in the park can be put into normal use after the next year. Moreover, according to this model, as long as the terrain is suitable and the procedures are legal, it is theoretically possible to expand outward "indefinitely", and in the end it may exceed its practical significance. It is precisely because of this that the state has made strict controls on the nature of the land and the approval of expansion, and sometimes it is even cumbersome in detail. Therefore, although the company has a large area of land in this circle during the early planning, various expansion approvals have been delayed, and in the end, only Park A has been built. The permit procedures for this No. B park have only recently arrived, so I can't wait to start construction immediately.

In fact, according to Guo Sanri's understanding, if he can judge it normally, it is that the city has really approved ten parks at once, and he estimates that if Boss Liu is not stimulated, he will not be stupid enough to build ten parks immediately. Human beings are not very reliable, and in some special cases, they do often do some unbelievable things, causing things to enter a vicious circle. Fortunately, in their industry, generally speaking, people's sanity seems to have been very good, after all, they rely on the laws of nature to eat, and everything is so intuitive and short-lived, so there should never be a useless cemetery in the world that is overbuilt due to people's whims.......

With the roar of machinery approaching, Guo Sanri woke up from his contemplation, put the planning renderings on the table, and got up to inspect the park.

The project is in full swing, the progress of the past few days is very fast, the overall construction of the construction site has been completed, the construction of the main body is also on the right track, and everything seems to be going well. It's just that when the outer wall was erected, I passed through a wetland, and the soil was too loose to get off the pile, and when I missed some time, everything else was carried out as planned. Based on this calculation, it can be completed by the end of the year. Guo Sanri is also used to it, and from time to time large construction vehicles pass by in front of the door. Except for going to Park B at night to see around, there is no big impact or change in work.

On the way back after going to the construction site to check on the other side that night, Guo Sanri suddenly heard a loud noise, and a faint white light flashed, although the time was very short, but it was very obvious in this dark cemetery. Guo Sanri could be sure that the white light was coming from that sound. Could it be that something is going on on the construction site? But judging by the direction and the distance of the sound, it should be in the park. Guo Sanri walked quickly over there suspiciously, and when he arrived, there was already a circle of people there, all of whom were staff on the construction site on the other side of Yiyuan.

It's so late, I was tired all day and planned to rest early, but as soon as I got to bed, I was suddenly awakened by this loud noise, and a few bold and curious people rushed over in clothes. Because the place where it happened was on the edge of the cemetery, it was relatively close to their construction site, so they arrived one step earlier, and now seeing Guo Sanri coming, everyone gave way to him, after all, others don't know about this park, and they don't know how to deal with this situation.

Guo Sanri walked through the crowd and came to the place where the loud noise occurred, and saw that the marble baffle on a tomb had flown up for some reason and landed on the concrete floor a few meters away from the tomb. Guo Sanri also encountered such a thing for the first time, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while, so he directly called Mr. Liu, and Mr. Liu answered the phone after a few rings. Guo Sanri explained the matter in general, and told Mr. Liu that he had not yet notified his family, and whether he or someone else in the company would tell him. Mr. Liu immediately returned to the family, this kind of coffin and other items have happened many times abroad, and Mr. Liu, who has been in this industry for many years, has a certain understanding of it. Such a thing is not necessarily man-made destruction, it is likely to be spontaneously formed, such as letting some people who have not been in contact with it know, it is likely to spread falsehood, so that things become uncontrollable, and then it will have a great impact on the cemetery and even society. Mr. Liu's high level of thinking about the problem, a few words from time to time, can make people feel awe. Guo Sanri nodded yes, but the scene was already surrounded by a large number of workers on the construction site of No. B Park, and they were the best spreaders of this rumor. Mr. Liu thought for a while, and told Guo Sanri, saying that the tomb was not placed a few days ago, and it was humid in the morning and evening, and it slipped down the slope. As long as you give a reason for this kind of thing, no matter how difficult it is to accept, everyone will slowly believe it. After hanging up the phone, Guo Sanri came to the construction site of No. B Park, convened the foremen and the person in charge, said Mr. Liu's words, and organized a meeting of the people who were on the scene at the time, and after explaining to them, let them not spread it outside. The construction site is full of people who work hard to support their families, and it is not easy to earn some money. But things didn't calm down because of this, and a few days later, strange things happened again.

On this day, Guo Sanri came back from patrol as usual, and when he came to a corner, he subconsciously stopped, glanced in the direction where the loud noise occurred a few days ago, and didn't feel anything abnormal, just as he was about to turn back, a huge slate impact suddenly came, followed by a flash of white light, exactly the same as a few days ago. Guo Sanri ran over there without hesitation, and when he arrived, there were already many people around, and after separating the crowd, he saw the same scene as that day, the marble baffle flew out a few meters and landed on the cement floor not far away, and other things did not move. Guo Sanri didn't ask much, and immediately called Mr. Liu to report the situation. This time, Mr. Liu was also a little surprised, it's only been a few days, and this kind of thing has happened again, and it's too frequent, could it really be that someone is making trouble? Or I started to build Park B in a hurry this time, and I didn't take care of it, no matter what, I can't just go and see it. If this kind of thing continues to happen like this, he won't have to do this cemetery, so what is he still working outside? Thinking of this, he told Guo Sanri that he would explain to everyone like last time, let the crowd disperse first, and he would go over immediately. After hanging up the phone, Guo Sanri dispersed the crowd and asked two foremen to take care of the scene together, while he returned to the gate and waited for Mr. Liu to come over.

It was probably less than an hour, Mr. Liu's car drove over, Guo Sanri immediately greeted him, and after Mr. Liu's car stopped, the driver opened the car door and got down from above, in addition to Mr. Liu, there was a middle-aged man. This person is dressed in a very special appearance, not tall, a little thin, dressed in a tunic suit, with long shoulder-length hair, probably because it is dark and he can't see it really, his eyes always feel slightly closed. Seeing Guo Sanri coming over, Mr. Liu introduced them, it turned out that this person was a master of Chinese studies, Mr. Liu's overall location of the cemetery was what he helped to see, and he always liked to ask his opinion first when he encountered something.

A few people didn't talk much along the way, and hurried to the tomb where something strange happened. When he arrived at the scene and saw the foreman who only had two caretakers, Mr. Liu was very satisfied with Guo Sanri's ability to do things. A few people stood on the periphery, and the middle-aged man who came with Mr. Liu walked alone to the tomb and turned around a few times, and then stood still in his heart and silently walked back for a while, and said to Mr. Liu, it is not that there is any evil thing, if it is not artificial, then it must be what God wants to remind you in this way. This stumped Mr. Liu and them, what did they remind them of? Could it be related to the expansion of this park, but I didn't find any clues that were wrong, so what else? The middle-aged man saw that they couldn't think of a clue for a while, so he suggested going back first to see if the monitoring was possible for human sabotage. Before leaving, the middle-aged man made the necessary arrangements at the scene, sprinkled a layer of white ash about a meter around the tomb, and spread a layer of millet on it, and after completing this, he took out a small bag in his pocket, took out something similar to incense ash, and smeared it on the cracks around the marble baffle that had been placed, and after doing all this, they returned to the monitoring room and watched the video. The location of the tomb was not monitored, but cameras were installed at several intersections of the road that must be passed, and after careful inspection, as they expected, they found no suspicious people. Normal people will know if they think about it, who would run to the cemetery in the middle of the night to make this kind of joke, even if it is said that there is a grudge against the deceased, it is not more effective to secretly take away the ashes, why make such a big move to alarm others. Thinking of this, Mr. Liu also casually asked, who is in this new tomb, but he didn't expect his unintentional question to really ask the key to the problem.

Who lives in this tomb? Guo Sanri really had some impressions, because the deceased was very young, and he was the same age, so when he said goodbye that day, the deceased's mother told him a lot about the deceased after seeing Guo Sanri. Before leaving, he also gave him a favorite book of the deceased, called "Encyclopedia of Theology", saying that Guo Sanri handed a thick book to Mr. Liu. Probably because of the title of the book, the middle-aged man who came with the car also walked over. Mr. Liu took the book and saw that a person's name "Tona" was written on it, and quipped: "Oh, I'm still a royal nobleman", the surname Tuo is simplified from the surname of the Manchus, so Mr. Liu said that it was really possible for the imperial family to say it. The middle-aged man who came with him was more concerned about what Guo Sanri knew about the deceased, and looked at Guo Sanri with inquiring eyes. Mr. Liu was also a little curious and looked up at him. Guo Sanri thought about it a little, and then told them about what he learned that day.

It turned out that the deceased was a religious philosopher who was still quite famous in the circle. Despite his youth, he had already published several translations and scholarly monographs, and according to his mother, it was a miracle that he had lived so long. Shortly after he was born, his sister, who was born with him, was struck by lightning on a rainy day and died tragically. At that time, the whole room was on fire, but he miraculously survived, and he was not injured at all, but he grew up with a somewhat quiet personality and rarely spoke. Family and friends laughed at him and called him a "dumb man", but the handwriting of such a person was very wild, and even people who were not familiar with him would feel a little scary when they saw it, and it was hard to imagine that it was from him. And he had a strong interest in religion, and for a while even insisted on living in a monastery, but he was only found after being hindered by several older brothers in the family. In the days that followed, he was introduced to several girlfriends through friends, and on one occasion one of his older brothers brought home a somewhat dissolute girl in an attempt to seduce his younger brother into submission, but to no avail, as if his younger brother was only interested in religion and philosophy, and nothing else was interested. His family is also well-known in the local area, and if there is a monk brother, it is unacceptable not only to his elder brothers, but also to the entire family, and he will not be allowed to do this, but an incident that happened soon after changed their family's mind.

One day, the hospital mailed their regular medical examination report to their home, but Tonna's was marked separately, and the doctor called him to the hospital for a check-up afterwards. Soon after, the results of the follow-up test came back, and he had a very rare disease called Thomas's disease. A cystic lesion of the bone and joint, which can be very painful and even paralyzed in severe cases. After his family learned the news, they stopped stopping him from doing anything, and the disease seemed to have little effect on him in the following years, and he immersed himself in his research, and those translations and monographs were also written in these years, and he was still surprisingly obsessed with religion, and he believed that everything in the world had a meaning and a direct cause, and some of these ideas were also recognized by the academic community, and many scholars responded and continued to deepen and expand their research on it. But at this time, Tonna's condition suddenly worsened, and he couldn't get out of bed, and after seven days of torment, he passed away quietly, as if he had experienced an experience of life.

After Guo Sanri finished telling what he had learned, the sky had gradually turned white, and everyone was tired after tossing for a night, but fortunately, nothing strange happened again, it may be that the middle-aged man made something really had an effect, just when everyone's hearts were just put down, a loud noise came and broke all the peace.

67 Expansion - B 001 (5)

Guo Sanri led Mr. Liu and the others to the tomb where there was a loud noise, and the huge marble baffle was once again thrown to the cement floor not far away, and this time it was broken in half. may be because it takes more force to throw it out, or it may be because it has been moved back many times and has a grudge, and Mr. Liu is also a little panicked when he sees this scene. This time the baffle is broken in half, and it is unlikely that it will hide everything from the family, but judging from Guo Sanri's description of his family, there should be no need to worry too much about this, and it should be possible to communicate with the knowledge of his family, but even so, it is impossible for such a thing to let it happen like this all the time and pretend not to see it, not to mention anything else, it is estimated that the workers on the construction site will be scared away a few times, and the construction period of Park B will not be delivered on time.

This industry is like this, no matter how big it is, if God doesn't give food to eat, it will be a matter of one or two years, and the wealth will come like water, thinking of this, you say that Mr. Liu may not be in a hurry. But what is puzzling is that the middle-aged man who came with him was surprisingly calm, and seemed to be a little more sure than when he came. He looked at Mr. Liu and explained: "Don't worry too much, I said that this is not a murderous thing, it will not bring you bad luck, and if such a thing happens, it must be trying to enlighten us." Mr. Liu was a little relieved when he heard the middle-aged man say this, but having said that, he still had to think of a way. The middle-aged man called a few foremen who had arrived and asked if there were any other strange things during this time? Several foremen thought about it, and shook their heads to say that they didn't find anything strange happening, and at this moment, suddenly a foreman seemed to remember something and shouted: "When the construction of the wall first started, there was a section of the wall on the east side that always fell, but because it was a wetland, the soil was loose, and everyone didn't care too much at the time, and now I wonder if there is any problem there", the middle-aged man immediately asked him to lead the way after hearing this, and everyone followed.

Originally, outside the east wall was a reed wetland, and their cemetery was built on a flat area at the foot of the mountain by the mountain and water, and the rainwater from the mountain flowed here along the low-lying part of the mountain, forming dozens of large and small puddles, and the wild grass and reeds on the ground connected it into a large wetland. When everyone arrived, it was just in time for the rising sun, and the wide field of vision and reddened grass made people marvel at the beautiful scenery in front of them. If it weren't for everyone's thoughts, this would be a good place to stop and watch the sunrise, but who would be in the mood right now. The middle-aged man walked around the wall a few times, but he didn't find anything else except a few drainage ditches, and these drainage ditches didn't have any big problems in the direction, even if there were individual inappropriateness, they didn't have that much impact. I couldn't help but look at the middle-aged man outside the fence a few times, let people make a hole in the wall, and went out, just after he walked a few steps, there was a commotion in the grass, and a big bird flew out, many people don't know, Guo Sanri and Mr. Liu felt that it should be a heron bird that migrates with the season. The middle-aged man walked some distance further, raised his hand to pick up a small stone, and threw it towards the reed pond deep in the grass. With a crisp sound of entering the water, thousands of migratory birds soared into the air, like fluttering colorful ribbons, melting in the morning sun. The middle-aged man turned around and walked back, went to the inside of the fence and pointed to the reed wetland and said, "Is this the land for the park?" Mr. Liu looked at it and hurriedly replied: "Yes, because there is water in this area, it can't start construction this year, and it will be expanded by half when the spring dry season opens next year." The middle-aged man shook his head and said: "This land can't be moved, this is a land of water, like the eyes of these mountains, there will be problems if you move." After listening to a little thought, Mr. Liu nodded yes, and asked if this strange thing had anything to do with it. The middle-aged man nodded, feeling that it should be eight or nine and ten, because of this.

If next spring, faced with withered grass roots and cracked land, who would have thought that there would be such a rich wetland scene here, and if it was really built wrong, would there be a chance to change it? Mr. Liu couldn't help but sweat coldly when he thought of this, in addition to making money, people in this business still talk about morality. He immediately had the drainage channels removed and the walls on this side raised and reinforced, leaving the grassland as a green belt for the entire park. This ratio is also clearly stipulated in the relevant documents, and Mr. Liu's decision is the best choice from several aspects as a whole.

The sky slowly brightened, the company's people notified Tona's family to come over and re-purchase a new marble baffle together, for this matter to Mr. Liu's judgment of Tona's family's cognitive level, there is no need to hide it, just told the truth about the things before and after, as expected, although his family was surprised that Toner valued this meadow so much, but said it was completely understandable. Later, Tonna's tomb was cleaned together, and when the east wall was heightened, Mr. Liu also specially asked people to buy a few firecrackers and put them in the wall and in front of Tonna's tomb to show his respect. An's middle-aged man's intention was actually completely unnecessary, but Mr. Liu's intention was precious, so he didn't say anything. After the people dispersed, Guo Sanri returned to his hut, thinking that there was such a large wetland in the park, and there was a warmth in his heart.

Since then, nothing has happened to the tomb, and from time to time some rainbow-like scenes appear above it, adding a touch of color to the cemetery......
