Chapter XXIII Wood Carving

"Make a call and ask where they are." Boss Xie said to us a little tiredly. "By the way, ask them if they have seen this Zhang Laogen."

After all, he was also in his forties, and he was tired enough to choke after climbing the mountain all morning.

My hands were inconvenient, so Zhang Jingui started to call, Boss Xie thought the house was dirty and found a stool to sit in the yard, I didn't want to go to him and look at him aimlessly.

I don't know what the mage's house should have, but Zhang Laogen's place looks no different from other farmhouses I've been to, and even seems to be more shabby and shabby.

The room is very small, and you can see the head at a glance, and after opening the eyes of the sky, you can see it at a glance.

It was a bed, a tattered wooden shelf with pots and pans on it, and the stove and water tank were outside the house.

There wasn't even a wardrobe or a suitcase, and the coat, which had been washed a little white, was folded and placed at the foot of the bed.

Near the head of the bed, some sun-dried tobacco leaves hang.

Because it is on a barren mountain with no village in front of the village and no shop in the back, there is not even an electric light, so this place may be just a place for him to eat and sleep.

If I were him, where would the valuable things be placed?

I looked outside, Zhang Jingui was on the phone, and Boss Xie was looking at the opposite hillside and smoking.

I put my hand under the pillow and there was nothing, I was a little disappointed, but when I turned to walk out of the house, I saw something hanging from behind the door.

It was a simple wood carving, it should be very old, there was a vague slender shape carved on it, I took it down and studied it, and found that it was a monster that had never been seen before, it seemed to have many wings and many feet, but because the years were too long, the lines of this wood carving were already very blurry, and it was almost impossible to see what it was.

I didn't dare to take his things away, so I took out my phone with great difficulty and carefully took several photos on both sides.

"Boss, they're there in Lot 2." Zhang Jingui's voice said outside. "The venue is a little bigger, and it's easy to transport things over."

"Has anyone seen Zhang Laogen?"

"I asked, no."

I hurriedly put the wood carving back in its place and walked out of the house.

"Let's go." Boss Xie said.

It was almost impossible to transport everything, such as cement and steel bars, which were pulled by carts to the side of the road and unloaded, and then transported up the mountain in bags of horses and mules. I bought a lot of colored striped cloth and thick plastic cloth to do this, what can be done is to wrap them all up to prevent water, as for whether someone will come to steal, it can only depend on luck, to see if the locals are afraid of ghosts.

What really made them collect was the relatively high-value machines, tools and other equipment, and they also got the power boxes everywhere, and the power of the transformer was cut off, and the wires could not be collected, but the wires were wrapped in adhesive tape. These things are valuable and small in size, and they have the greatest chance of being stolen.

"Have you collected all the explosives?" Boss Xie is most worried about this.

It is impossible to dig a channel in the mountains without explosives, and each team has some detonators and explosives that they received before, which are not much but add up to a lot, and these are all filed in the police station and the civil explosive brigade.

"The explosives and detonators of Lao Wan's team can't be found." Li Chunsheng, who was assigned to be in charge of this matter, replied with some trepidation.

"What?" Boss Xie stood up suddenly.

"Lao Wan was in charge of it before, and if something happened to him, I don't know who is in charge." Li Chunsheng hurriedly replied. "We just searched carefully, but we really didn't find it."

"How many?" Boss Xie was a little anxious.

"That's only Lao Wan and Manager Wang know." Li Chunsheng replied.

Boss Xie turned his attention to me, but I didn't know, it's just that Lao Wan's team dug a lot of rock in the section in those days, and it was blasting every day. According to the usual practice, they should have received no less detonators and explosives from the explosives depot.

"Did you find his usage records or work logs?" Boss Xie is really anxious now.

Li Chunsheng handed him a record, which was only recorded until the end of last month, and it seemed that he had been recording it month by month.

I didn't write a work diary for many days.

"What a mess!" Boss Xie slammed the notebook to the ground.

According to the regulations, these things must be used as a diary on the same day, but the owner himself doesn't care, and the supervision and generation don't care, Lao Wan is lazy, and Wang Dayou has a good relationship, and Wang Dayou is negligent.

Boss Xie pressed his head with his hand and couldn't speak over there.

Usually, if you find this kind of thing, you must investigate it to the end, but now that something has happened, the parties are sleeping in the cold storage of the funeral home, who are you going to investigate?

"Boss, it's almost four o'clock, don't you think?" Zhang Jingui asked boldly.

Everyone is looking at Boss Xie with their eyes open, usually this time is the time to go to work, but this is not usual! Although the master said that it should be fine, the master was also covered in blood and had a broken arm and was sent away, wasn't it?

Everyone knows that the foot of the mountain may not be safer than the mountain, but it is closer to the road, and if you really want to escape, at least the possibility of escaping is greater.

"Which ones are willing to stay tonight?" Boss Xie asked.

Things are concentrated here, and it becomes a joke if people don't arrange to guard them, and if everyone goes down the mountain, people can't pry as much as they want?

No one talked.

"Five hundred dollars a night." Boss Xie said. "The master has said that the matter is over, as long as you don't mess around, it'll be fine."

The old man who usually shows us the gate of the project department is 800 yuan a month, but at this time, no one has come forward.

"Eight hundred!" Boss Xie gritted his teeth and said.

Usually, everyone works for 50 yuan a day, and the big workers are only 80, and a few workers began to hesitate.

"Mah! A thousand! Just tonight, it won't be any higher! Just do it, don't pull it down! If you want three people, who will come? Boss Xie scolded.

Finally, three people who were not afraid of death stood up, and Boss Xie was also afraid that something would happen to them, so he gave them one of the Jade Buddhas, who were known as very expensive.

"Be vigilant at night, don't turn off the phone, and call down quickly if there is anything." He said with a thousand words.

We began to walk down the mountain with some valuable tools that could be moved, I don't know if it was my own feeling, I always felt that the three people stood at the door of the warehouse in the second bid section and looked at us, quite a bit of wind and water cold in it.
