Lin Shiyi breathed a sigh of relief, walked over, and comforted him: "Don't worry, sit down, tell me what's going on."

Only then did the young man sit back on the sofa, his face showing a look of memory, his eyes flashed with fear, and his body trembled inexplicably.

"My name is Wang Houchuan, I am a foreigner, and I came here with a group of fellow villagers to work on the construction site, and things are like this......"

The sunlight of midsummer is enough to pierce people's skin, and Wang Houchuan and a group of fellow villagers are working feverishly on a 20-story building in the county seat.

In the empty rough building, dozens of workers are busy back and forth. Wang Houchuan and a group of a man who was a few years older than him and equally dark-skinned used a pallet truck to transport cement from the elevator.

"Houchuan, when can you pay me back the 3,000 yuan? I worked. ”

Wang Houchuan was a little impatient when asked, and said: "Brother Wang Jiang, didn't I tell you earlier, I can pay you back when this construction site is finished and I get paid, now the boss sends living expenses every time, what do I pay you back?" Aren't you annoyed by asking a few times a day? ”

The worker named Wang Jiang was honest and honest, and he was a well-known honest man on the construction site, and when he saw this, he said: "But I heard from the boss that you only got 3,000 yuan yesterday?"

Wang Houchuan was stunned, his face sank, and he asked rhetorically: "Could it be that you want me to pay you back the family's living expenses?"

Wang Jiang shook his head and explained: "I didn't mean that, I ......"

Wang Houchuan, who felt uncomfortable, interrupted: "Then what do you mean? Can't trust me? ”

Wang Jiang opened his mouth, and there was still a sentence that did not come out, Wang Houchuan only had two parents at home, and in the countryside, the monthly living expenses would not be a few thousand, right?

Wang Houchuan has always been a good gambler, and he will never send all the money back.

Seeing this, a worker asked aloud: "Wang Jiang, you usually don't spend much, why are you in such a hurry to ask for money, this is, something happened at home?"

Wang Jiang opened his mouth again, but only shook his head.

Wang Houchuan said angrily: "What can I do, I'm afraid I won't pay him back."

Wang Jiang sighed, but still did not respond.

The worker frowned when he heard this, and said, "Lao Jiang is not such a person, Houchuan, you don't have to be angry."

"Hehe, who knows." Wang Houchuan said again: "It's not a big deal, otherwise even if I borrow, I will borrow it to pay him back, and you don't know what I am doing."

Wang Jiang didn't answer him, and the rest of the workers also shut their mouths one after another, and they just interjected in other people's affairs, and if they talked too much, they would only dislike people.

A few days later, on a rainy day when there was a power outage at the construction site, the workers were at work, and the foreman suddenly came over and asked: "The project on the sixteenth floor needs to be expedited these days, which of you can work overtime?" Manually take the stairs to move materials, overnight, according to four work. ”

Many people's eyes lit up, one worker three hundred, four workers, but one thousand two.

But everyone thought about it and didn't say anything, it was too hard to move things overnight, and they were tired and tired, and they couldn't make a fortune with just a few thousand yuan.

Wang Jiang hurriedly raised his hand and responded: "I, boss, I'll do it."

"Okay, then it's hard for you, you must pay attention to safety."

The foreman gave a command before leaving.

Seeing the foreman walking away, a worker was surprised and said: "Lao Jiang, are you afraid that you are crazy about money?"

Wang Jiang scratched the back of his head, smiled and didn't speak.

Someone looked at the heavy rain outside and said: "This work is already tiring, the weather is bad these days, and you have taken the stairs all night to move materials, you are careful to make money and spend it."

Someone joked: "That's it, you can take it easy, be careful of staying up late and dying suddenly as the news says." Also, if you're tired, we'll have to stick a piece of incense paper. ”

Incense paper money is very popular in rural areas.

Generally, when someone dies in the village, the neighbors and villagers will share the money, and some young people will also contribute an extra share.

Some workers joked even more excessively: "It's okay, if you really have an accident and burp, I'll pay 500."

"I'm eight hundred."

"I'm a thousand."

"I'll give you five thousand."

Everyone stopped talking and what they were doing, and looked at the person who spoke.

It was Wang Houchuan who spoke.

It's not that he has this money, and it's not that he is generous by nature, it's all a joke anyway, he's bragging, and he's not afraid of broken skin.

Someone said disdainfully: "Come on, you, brag and don't make drafts, let's pay back Lao Jiang's money first."

"Fuck off, it's just you." scolded angrily, Wang Houchuan said again: "I haven't been rubbing mahjong for a long time, why don't you get off work tonight, how many brothers will go to play?"

"Okay, go, after rubbing and drinking, let's go to the clubhouse last time to play."

Many workers happily echoed, but only Wang Jiang sighed secretly.

The rain was heavier that night, and there were no windows installed in the building, and the heavy rain poured straight in.

Wang Jiang wore a flashlight on his head, and again and again, carried the materials from the first floor to the sixteenth floor.

After moving the fifteenth bag of cement to the sixteenth floor, Wang Jiang, who had been working all day, was already tired, leaning against the wall and panting.

"After doing it tonight, I can advance another 10,000 yuan with the boss tomorrow, so that I can scrape together enough 20,000 yuan to repay the money borrowed from my cousin for the baby's previous surgery, alas, it's a pity that Houchuan's money can't be obtained, otherwise I won't have to work overtime and stay up late."

Wang Jiang sighed in his mouth, he didn't say these words to Wang Houchuan and other workers.

Because the money is not urgent, and there is no way to save his life, his cousin is urging him tightly, so he can only work a little harder by himself.

Life, like a dog!

Wang Jiang, who had almost rested, went down to the first floor, once again carried a few bags of cement on his back in one go, and climbed up the stairs.

After a few breaks, I went up to the sixteenth floor again.

"Whew."

Exhaling a breath from his mouth, Wang Jiang lifted his foot and collapsed.

In the dark, the flashlight on his head could only see ahead, but he couldn't see his feet well, and this foot stepped on a steel pipe that was only a dozen centimeters long.

As soon as the steel pipe slipped, Wang Jiang lost his balance and fell towards the window behind him, which had not yet been fitted with floor-to-ceiling windows.

"Ah......h

'Bang'

Without any hindrance, Wang Jiang fell directly and his body fell on the construction site on the first floor.

In the heavy rain, Wang Jiang's eyes widened, full of unwillingness, and blood flowed all over the ground.

It rained all night, just like Wang Jiang's cry in his heart.

It wasn't until the early morning that the rain stopped, and it wasn't until the workers saw that Wang Jiang's body had cooled down, and their eyes still didn't close, and they looked ahead in a daze, as if they were staring at Wang Houchuan opposite.

The unwillingness in those eyes seemed to ask, why would you rather take the money to gamble and play than give it back to me?

The foreman boss held a stack of soft girl coins in his hand, and sighed: "Poor Lao Jiang, just told me yesterday that after finishing yesterday's work, he would advance the salary of the shop with me to pay off the debt of his baby's surgery."

A group of workers were stunned, and then suddenly realized.

"It turns out that Lao Jiang is so desperate to pay off his debts? Why didn't he hold back, can't we all help together to find a way? ”

The foreman looked at a group of workers and sneered: "It's all about the use of hindsight, you guys are with Lao Jiang every day, don't you know what he is?"

Someone looked at Wang Houchuan and accused: "Houchuan, you have to pay back Lao Jiang's money as soon as possible, and Lao Jiang will not be like this today."

Wang Houchuan, who was in a daze, regretted it very much at the moment. He looked at Wang Jiang, I don't know if it was an illusion, there seemed to be a trace of resentment flashing in Wang Jiang's eyes.

PS.: You say that if it hits the shelves, if I open a new book, do I want to write the kind of subject that is as white as boiled water and constantly pretends to be slapped in the face? This kind of theme has always had a large audience, and although I don't like it myself, maybe I should see the situation clearly and admit it.

In addition, it's very important, bet on the one who went to Sanjiang, and said that everyone is going to bet on whether they are optimistic or not, Sanjiang is basically predetermined, and the editor refuses to even give the suspenseful garbage score, and Sanjiang is even more impossible, so you have to pay attention, don't waste money, and keep the subscription
