XXXVI. Digging
As night falls, the lights come on.
High-tech Zone, Changjiang Road, a person came.
With his guitar on his back, he stood at an intersection, in the dim light, silent for a long time.
He was lost, and for a moment, he didn't know where to go.
Here, there are no public telephones.
Thinking of the group of children, thinking of the little girl who was tired of him and was cute and cute, at this time, Zhiyuan smiled.
How energetic they are!
Despite all the pain they went through and grew up in an orphanage, they were as optimistic as ever and didn't complain, which is a good thing.
The little boy who stole his luggage, his name was Xiaohu.
The kid, very brave, and it was clear that he was doing it for the first time.
He was trying to protect his siblings from starvation, and he didn't mean to, and rightly so.
He has realized that he was wrong, and Zhiyuan believes that this child will have a good future.
It takes courage to know and admit mistakes.
What's more, a hungry little boy?
What made Zhiyuan most relieved was that their mother Qi was very good to them, and Zhiyuan was relieved and left quietly.
For the police, he instinctively repels and doesn't want to be too involved.
He also believes that those children will have a better tomorrow.
Lighting a cigarette and taking a deep breath, Zhiyuan took a step forward and headed south.
Since he is at No. 59 South Changjiang Road, he is looking for it slowly, anyway, he is not in a hurry.
Walking along the street, no one passes by, looking at Zhiyuan, they will show a strange color.
Zhiyuan found out that most of the people living on this street were migrant workers from other places, and he was carrying a guitar on his back, which was incompatible with this street.
Zhiyuan smiled bitterly, no matter where he went, there would always be some eyes looking at him, different.
He is accustomed to this.
Summer in Jilin is very hot.
This is not a riverside, boring and depressing.
Thinking crankily while walking, Zhiyuan's mood couldn't help but become irritable.
He had a feeling that he couldn't find the source, but it made him feel inexplicably uneasy.
It was as if, in the dark unknown, there was a pair of eyes, indifferent and ruthless, staring at his every move.
After a cigarette is lit, Zhiyuan lights another cigarette.
He wanted to suppress the emotion, and no doubt, he hated it.
"Brother Yuan!" Just then, someone shouted.
Zhiyuan walked along the prestige, and across the street, there was a young man, waving to him.
This is not Liu Dalin, who else?
With a slight smile, Zhiyuan crossed the street and came to a building.
"Brother Zhiyuan, here!" A chuckle came, and Lin Qing walked out of a room wearing a hard hat.
Suddenly, a group of people gathered around Zhiyuan and greeted him.
"We live here?" Zhiyuan walked into the house.
This is a one-room room, only one, nearly 100 square meters, with four walls.
As soon as I walked in, everything inside was unobstructed.
In addition to the messy luggage sacks, on the left side of the wall, there is a row of heaters, and underneath it, a row of wooden planks, all made of bricks, from beginning to end.
It's the bed!
In one of them, in the middle, the bed has been made and the quilt is neatly folded.
"Brother Yuan, this is what I got for you, hehe!" Liu Dalin said proudly, "How is it?" ”
"Good work!" Zhiyuan patted him on the shoulder.
"Brother Lin, is it safe here? My piano! Zhiyuan put down his luggage and guitar and frowned.
"Don't worry, we'll lock the door when we go out, and besides, it's guarded here, it's okay!" Lin Qingdao.
"Just a bathroom?" Zhiyuan pointed to a small grid opposite, his brows furrowed even deeper.
"That's it when you come out to work!" Lin Qing smiled bitterly, "We are considered to have good conditions, and in many places, there is no one to even take a bath!" ”
Zhiyuan was silent.
"Brother, do you want to rest for the night, or do you want to get to work?"
Lin Qing said, "Look at us, we have all changed our clothes and are ready to go!" ”
"Okay, I'll change my clothes!" Simply, Zhiyuan took out a set of clothes from his duffel bag and changed them at random.
"This is for you!" Lin Qing took a yellow helmet and a hammer, and handed it to Zhiyuan, "Remember, the hammer is our tool, and we support the mold, just to strengthen the mold, and deal with the template nails every day, you have to nail it to death, otherwise, the concrete will be poured into it, it will burst, you can't reinforce it well, sometimes even if it won't burst, when the mold is removed, it will be deformed, and when you go to the construction site, I will teach you what to do!" ”
"Good!" Zhiyuan pinned the mace behind him, followed a group of people, and walked out of the door.
Walking along the street to the north, turning a street, a group of people came to the construction site.
Sheds, steel bars, cement, pits, and incandescent lamps are the first impressions of the construction site to Zhiyuan.
Without saying a word, he followed everyone into the construction site.
At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a red hard hat greeted him.
This is a thin middle-aged man, after coming up, he greeted Lin Qing casually, and his eyes swept over the crowd.
"You remember, the one who wears the red hat is the leader!"
Lin Qing said in Zhiyuan's ear, "His name is Lin Jia, he is our contractor, and he took over our work, so we came here!" Fortunately, we came early, this construction site, just laid the foundation, we are Party B's construction site, here, to build a 12-story building, when the time comes, it is almost the New Year, we can settle the salary and go home! ”
"Didn't you say you were the foreman? Also, the salary is not settled until the end of the year? Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows.
"I'm the head of the carpentry class!"
Lin Qing smiled bitterly again, "When I was in Beijing, I didn't know you were coming, I was bragging, but don't worry, he and I are fellow villagers, and people are very good!" You can rest assured about your salary, it's okay, every month, you will be given 100 yuan of cigarette money, and in September, there will be 300 yuan of busy expenses, which will be settled at the end of the year, and when the time comes, you can also save some money! ”
"I hope so!" Zhiyuan nodded and stopped talking.
"Follow me!" Lin Jia waved his hand and led a group of people to a pile of sand.
"Pick up the shovel and follow me!" Lin Jia shouted.
"Isn't it a mold?" Zhiyuan stared at Lin Qing.
"Just laid the foundation, now there is no work to do, to rise up, we have work, the reinforcement class is good, we have work, now, can only do some chores first!" Lin Qing explained.
"Tonight, something happened!" Lin Jia looked around, took a deep breath, and said, "There is a father and son, when the well was drilled, the well collapsed, and they were buried in the well, hurry up, we have to dig them out!" ”
"Laying the foundation, there is only one person in the well, how can two be buried?" Zhiyuan asked.
No wonder, just walked into the Yangtze River Road, I have been restless.
"I don't know which bastard came up with the idea, the child of that family, only fourteen years old, said that he was small, it was easy to operate in the well, let him in, dug more than ten meters, collapsed, his father jumped in to save him, and was buried together, people can't be saved, but the body has to be dug up!" Lin Jia yelled, "At night, no one wants to do this work, so ......"
"Brother Jia, it's unlucky to dig up dead people as soon as you come!" Lin Qing frowned.
"Salary, three times, you can't do it! Ninety-one days! ”
Lin Jia roared, "I don't have time to talk to you, if you want to do it, come with me!" ”
"!"
A group of people, carrying shovels, followed Lin Jia to a well.
"You, those with great strength and quick hands and feet, go first!"
Lin Jia commanded, "Let's dig from around the well, dig a few meters first, and start from the well, bury it too deep, so we can only do it at present!" ”
Zhiyuan didn't say a word, took the lead, jumped to the side of the well, and started first.
"Brothers, work hard, and finish the work well!" Lin Qing picked up the shovel and shouted next to Zhiyuan.
Work is always repetitive and boring, very monotonous.
Unconsciously, in the sound of shovels, a group of people dug more than ten meters deep.
"Hand, Brother Yuan, I see the hand!" At this moment, Liu Dalin put down the shovel and shouted in panic.
"Tower crane, come here!" Lin Jia waved his hand, and with his movements, a tower crane slowly turned around, and the wire rope fell right in front of him.
"What are you doing?" Zhiyuan shouted.
"It should be almost! Pull the corpse up! Lin Jia didn't care about anything else, and tied the other end of the wire rope to that arm.
"Come up!" Lin Jia shouted.
The crowd in the pit hurried to the shore.
At this time, Lin Jia waved his hand.
The tower crane moved, and the wire rope slowly rose......
"Click!"
Suddenly, blood splattered, and the arm that had been bloody was torn off by the tower crane. Under the dazzling light, in the dark night sky, swaying back and forth.
"Bastard, stop!" Zhiyuan was furious, rushed to Lin Jia, and grabbed his collar, "Everyone is dead, do you still want people to die without a body?" ”
"Let go!" Lin Jia shook off Zhiyuan, "Do you think I want to do this?" How do I know how deep the burial is, you're uncomfortable, you think I'm comfortable? Dig, keep digging for me! ”
"Humph!" Zhiyuan snorted coldly, carried the shovel, and jumped into the pit again.
