Chapter 25: Suddenly
Temporary workers on the construction site usually only have lunch, but after the meal, Shang Tao was still dragged to eat a big pot of rice.
When he settled the salary, Liu Changdong gave him 300 yuan.
"One hundred more, two hundred. Shang Tao took out a hundred and prepared to return it.
Liu Changdong held his hand, "I earned three hundred yuan, Xiao Shang, you can do the work alone is worth three or four porters." ”
Everyone else nodded, Shang Tao's strength they could see, one or two hundred kilograms of things, easily picked up and left.
The work he did in the morning and afternoon was indeed worth three or four ordinary porters.
Liu Changdong saw that he was still hesitating, so he said: "It's almost time for the college entrance examination, and you still come out to work part-time on weekends, which means that it is really difficult at home, so take it quickly." ”
Liu Yong helped: "Uncle gives it to you, you just take it, mother-in-law." ”
Shang Tao accepted the money and smiled shyly, not knowing what to say for a while.
"Come over tomorrow if you want to work, you will definitely have your share. Liu Changdong patted him heartily.
After walking for about 20 minutes, Shang Tao returned to the community where his family was located, and deliberately stopped on the third floor when he went upstairs.
The security door in the room on the right was replaced, he remembered that it wasn't like this before, he thought about it and started knocking.
After a while, the door opened, revealing the face of a strange middle-aged woman, who said vigilantly, "Who are you looking for?"
Shang Tao was stunned, "Uh, I live upstairs, and I have something to do with Uncle Zhang." He vaguely remembered that the uncle's surname on the third floor was Zhang.
The woman relaxed and said with a smile: "Looking for Zhang Guoqiang, he is not here, he went abroad, I am his relative, I came to show him the house." ”
Shang Tao sighed, "That bothered." ”
He didn't ask any more questions, in fact, he already knew the answer, just to confirm it again.
His mood became a little gloomy, and he said in his heart, if I had pulled out the black shadow at that time, Uncle Zhang would not have died.
Then I comforted myself, I didn't know how to use the soul space at that time, and I wasn't a savior, just an ordinary high school student, forget it, I don't want to.
When he returned home and finished washing, the gray-faced Shang Tao returned to being a neatly dressed scholar.
He took out the fruits of his day's labor, five hundred yuan, and was in a happy mood, then a little depressed, and then happy, and he was really in a complicated mood.
"It's all an adventure, and I can only go to the construction site to work to make money, which feels quite unproductive. But it's also fun to work on the construction site, as long as you can make money, and tomorrow you will have a thousand a day of work, which is very good. ”
After a night without words, Shang Tao got up early in the morning, put on yesterday's dirty clothes, and prepared to go to the construction site to do another day's work.
After breakfast, he began to walk towards the mall site.
After walking for a while, I saw something wrong around the construction site from a distance, the big iron gate of the construction site was closed, and the door was full of people.
Shang Tao quickened his pace, and when he came to the gate of the construction site, he heard people talking.
"What's wrong?"
"I heard that there were dead people at the construction site, and now I can't go in, so I have to wait for the police to come. ”
"When?"
"I found it in the morning. ”
"How did people die? How many died?"
"I don't know, the person in charge has not allowed me in, saying that he is afraid of destroying the scene. ”
Shang Tao squeezed into the crowd and saw Liu Changdong sitting in the flower bed at the door.
His heart sank, and he walked up quickly, and found that Liu Changdong's face was pale and his eyes were scattered.
There were also some construction team employees around him, asking questions.
Liu Changdong didn't say a word, and looked ahead blankly.
Someone brought mineral water to him to drink, and after drinking the water, Liu Changdong slowly came back to his senses, and his face looked better.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Liu Changdong took a deep breath and said: "There are indeed dead people inside, it was the old grandson who discovered it first, and I saw it second." ”
Hearing that someone was really dead, it was still someone from Liu Changdong's construction team who died, and everyone looked at each other.
"Who's dead?"
"Where's the old grandson, ask him what the hell is going on. ”
"The old grandson seemed to be frightened, and lay there waiting for the police to come. ”
Liu Changdong's face was painful, "It was Liu Fuqiang who died, as well as Liu Wende." How can this be, yesterday was fine, why did you die? They all came out of the village with me, so how can I explain to their family when I go back? ”
Everyone fryed, they were all in a construction team, these two people were very familiar, and suddenly heard that the familiar person died, everyone would be shocked and surprised, and asked what happened.
Liu Changdong was a little dazed, "The corpse is still in the shed, it's too miserable, it's like being bitten to death by some fierce beast, there is no whole corpse, if I am not familiar with them, I can't recognize them." ”
Probably thinking of the tragic situation of the two corpses, Liu Changdong's face turned even paler, and he also showed a disgusting expression.
"How so?"
"Both of the people who live in the shack are dead?
Everyone else was shocked.
Only Shang Tao remembered the key, "Uncle Liu, you said they looked like they were bitten to death by some fierce beast, and there were scratches and tooth marks on their bodies?"
Liu Changdong nodded, "It's like being bitten by something like a tiger or a wolf, and many places are mutilated, as if they have been eaten." I didn't dare to look closely, and when I recognized the person, I ran out. But how can there be fierce beasts in the city, and there is no zoo nearby. ”
Shang Tao's eyes froze, and he asked urgently, "When will the police arrive?"
A bad premonition rose in his heart, and he very much agreed with Liu Changdong's judgment, how could there be fierce beasts in the city, and there was no zoo nearby.
If there is no beast, then what bit and killed the two, the answer is already obvious.
Shang Tao had a premonition that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked when the police would arrive.
Liu Changdong replied: "I don't know, I just called the police not long ago." After discovering that someone had died in the shed, I panicked, grabbed my grandson's head and ran out, and then closed the door before calling the police. I told the others not to go in again, lest there be any accidents. ”
Shang Tao nodded thoughtfully, maybe the ghost thing that killed people is still in the construction site, Liu Changdong's disposal method is very correct.
He knew that the dead people on the construction site were abnormal, and Zhang Xiaolong's terrifying figure involuntarily appeared in his mind.
The figure of the physical education teacher has faded away, but now it has resurfaced.
He had an impression of the names of both deceased, and his memory was gradually improving after adding the phantom energy.
He can even recall having dinner with the two deceased yesterday.
This feeling is not good, the two people who are alive are just gone, which makes Shang Tao's mood even more depressed.
He thought of the uncle on the third floor, and the woman on the subway, and he realized that it was not the first time he had encountered such a situation, but it did not make him feel comfortable.
He also found that he was not as cold and strong as he imagined.
