Chapter 13: The Old Man

Lu Xiaoling pulled me suddenly, making me stumble and fall to the ground in embarrassment, but it was precisely because of this that I fell heavily on the ground, and the flying rubble even hit my face.

Lu Xiaoling pounced on me with a soft shout, I didn't care about the hot pain in my hands, I crawled forward a few steps, and finally got out of the place where they were fighting.

The person who just snuck up on me was the superintendent's driver.

I couldn't see the expression on his face clearly in the dark, I only saw that he was holding a large wrench in his hand, and he was smashing it viciously towards Lu Xiaoling.

I hunched over to hold his feet, but Lu Xiaoling shouted at me, "Get out of the way!" ”

The driver took advantage of her distraction and suddenly dropped her and pounced on me, I was startled, I didn't know what kind of technique Lu Xiaoling used, his body suddenly flew up, and then fell heavily to the ground.

Before I could react, Lu Xiaoling took out a piece of yellow paper from there and pasted it on his forehead, and he suddenly lost consciousness.

"It's ......," I said, dumbfounded.

There have been many such scenes in movies and TV series, but it is the first time I have watched it at such a close distance, and I still think it is exaggerated and ridiculous.

I even have a thought, is all this real?

Was it a dream of mine from start to finish?

But the burning pain of the bruised palm wound on the ground told me right away that it was definitely not a dream.

"Damn it!" Lu Xiaoling said in a low voice.

She looked down to check the driver's status and said to me, "Help me!" ”

I cooperated with her to lift the driver's big brother up, but she just put him in a safe place on the side of the road and then reflexively picked up the bag that had been thrown on the ground.

"Let's go!"

"Wait a minute! What did he do? Just put it on the side of the road? I said in surprise.

It's not easy to rescue a person, so don't you just don't ask?

"There's no way I can get him back." Lu Xiaoling asked. "You're carrying him back?"

I was speechless in an instant, I don't know the name of the driver's eldest brother, but he is a northerner, and he is at least one meter eight meters tall...... The weight will not be less than the kilogram, right?

I really don't know how her little girl just threw him out of the air?

"Let's go!" She urged me again.

I also knew that now was not the time to rest, but the tiredness of my body was really beyond my control, and when I stood up, I almost rolled straight into the ditch on the side of the road.

"It's useless!" Lu Xiaoling said.

I was about to explode, but I felt her grab my arm and pull her shoulder.

"How can this ......" I instinctively wanted to struggle, but I didn't expect her strength to be so strong, and she grabbed my hand so hard that I couldn't pull it back.

"How long do you want to grind? Do you want me to carry you? She said angrily.

I picked up my backpack, and Lu Xiaoling carried the other one, holding me, and walked forward briskly.

My manly self-esteem made me try not to push myself on her, but she glared at me fiercely.

"What about your mother-in-law! We're both more tired like you! She said unhappily. Either go by yourself, or just carry me honestly! Hurry up! ”

I really don't have the strength to go by myself, but I am holding such a little girl as Lu Xiaoling...... It's really shameless.

Walking out for about a few hundred meters, Lu Xiaoling suddenly stopped, and said in a low voice, "Wait a minute." ”

Needless to say, I also saw a black figure standing on the side of the road not far from the road.

Could it be Zhang Minxiang?

I thought to myself.

Lu Xiaoling had already let go of me at this time, and at the same time put the bag on the ground, and slowly walked towards the black shadow.

He said something to us, the local accent was very thick so I didn't understand, but his voice was very old, obviously not Zhang Minxiang and them, which made me instantly relieved.

But Lu Xiaoling still did not let her guard down.

The black shadow took a few steps in this direction, and the light of the flashlight finally shone on his face, which was full of ravines left by the years, so black that it was almost impossible to see his expression, his mouth was flattened, and his teeth had long since fallen out.

I walked towards him, but Lu Xiaoling quietly pulled me.

"I know him." I said to Lu Xiaoling.

This man is a lonely old man in Hewei Village, I don't know his name, I only know that he is over 70 years old, but he is in good health and his mind is very clear.

Hewei Village, named as a village, is actually a collection of several groups of villagers, and the local farmers have been cultivating small sloping land in the east and west along the river valley for generations, so the people live very scattered.

I know this old man because most of his land is within the construction scope of our project, and he firmly disagrees with the relocation, and the owner's project department has spent a lot of time communicating and coordinating with him, but there has been no result. In the end, there was no way, through the township and the village to forcibly change his land, his house was also demolished, and a new room was arranged for him in the village, which could be regarded as solving his problem.

But from then on, he rented the land that had been exchanged for him to other families in the same village to cultivate, and he built a small hut in a mountain recess next to the construction site, not knowing whether he remembered the land left by his ancestors or wanted to do something.

At the beginning, Wang Dayou also asked the team leaders to pay attention not to let him destroy or steal anything, but he was only on the mountain near the construction site every day, and sometimes he could be seen carrying some things to the mountain and didn't know what to do, but he never caused any damage to us, so everyone didn't care about him.

"What a wreck!" Again, he said, and this time I finally understood.

We all saw the look in his eyes, a little hostile, but not confused.

He shouldn't have been possessed by evil things like Zhang Minxiang and them.

"It's all evil!" He said again.

I know that's what he likes to say the most, that whatever we do in the mountains seems to him to be doing evil.

So I pulled Lu Xiaoling and walked past him from a distance.

"Retribution!" When we walked past him, we heard him say this.

"It's not peaceful around here, old man, hurry home." I couldn't help but say to him.

Although he is a lonely old man, there may not be any difference between being at home and being outside, but the home will give people some sense of security.

But he followed us from a distance, and kept saying things that he didn't understand.

"He lives nearby?" Lu Xiaoling asked suddenly.

I nodded, and Lu Xiaoling suddenly turned around and walked towards him.

"Huh?" I didn't catch her all at once.

"Old man, do you know the grave on the hill ahead?"
