The two simple houses were built in the open wilderness, it was already late autumn, the dew was very heavy, and the wild grass that was originally very lush had withered a lot, and there was a newly built factory about fifty or sixty meters away from the house.

At eight o'clock in the evening, with the lights on in the two bungalows, I sat around a brick-made plywood with nine brothers who were working together, and on which were some charcuterie and a few bottles of wine, and we were shouting for five or six drinks.

To put it mildly, I am their leader, but I am not the contractor, the real contractor is my uncle, who is nicknamed the three fat men, who eats fat and has big ears, and the beer belly is more like a pregnant woman than a pregnant woman.

My uncle is a typical hands-off shopkeeper, he is only responsible for negotiating contracts with Party A at the wine table, and I lead a group of brothers to do the work, he does not bring it into the construction site for ten days and half a month, and occasionally comes once in a circle and leaves, at most it is to stuff me with some living expenses.

People who often work outside know that life on the construction site is boring and boring, and they set up camp in a wilderness far from the city, and they do it for a few months.

However, usually I control their amount, because I have to go to work the next day, I don't dare to let them drink too much, but today is different, today is the last day of all the work, tomorrow I will wait for my uncle to settle the bill for them, and then go their separate ways, and when there is work, I will call them one by one to get them together.

Since I had nothing to do tomorrow, I left them alone, but took some money out of my living expenses and drove to the nearest town to buy a lot of cooked food and a few bottles of wine, which should be a reward for these hard-working brothers.

As the saying goes, in the vast sea of people, meeting is fate, we are also people from all over the world, and it is not easy for big guys to get together.

And I still have a problem, I don't have much courage, but I like to listen to some legends and stories of the gods, usually I live alone in another small room where drawings and sundries are placed, and I don't have much opportunity to listen to them talk about the mountains, talk about some supernatural things, and then drink today, I intentionally or unintentionally lead the topic to the supernatural events of folklore.

Ten people killed a box of old village chiefs, and the conversation box slowly opened, I first talked about a supernatural event that I encountered when I was doing engineering in the past, and the right thing was to attract their attention, after they brought it into such a topic, they would naturally talk about some supernatural events that happened to them or in the village.

After touching a glass of wine with them, I put down my glass, took a packet of Liqun from my pocket, took one out and lit it, took a deep breath, threw the cigarette on the improvised table along with the lighter, and began my narrative with a puff of smoke.

That was when I was 16 years old, because my family was relatively poor, I dropped out of junior high school before I finished school, and after staying at home for a while, I went out to work with my uncle, who was leading classes for others, and by the way, I also learned the trade of a mason, and later I had the ability to support my family.

It happened one night shortly after I came out with my uncle......

On that day, the moon was very big and round, and the time was about the same as now, and it was almost late autumn, and my uncle and their house was in a rural area, and the old house was demolished and a two-story house was built on the original foundation.

Until now, many rural areas are still like this, the old house in the past because the years are too long, or because it can't catch up with the trend, after a little rich money in the hand, they like to catch up with the trend to build another house, but some rural homesteads are difficult to approve down, and you are not allowed to build a house in the field, so you can only tear down the original old house and rebuild it on the original foundation.

My uncle was also worthy of me, and within a few days of my arrival, he placed me as an apprentice under a master, what apprentice? It's when I'm not nervous or when the owner is not there, let me go up and lay a few bricks, and I should practice my craft, so that after a long time, the craft will naturally come out.

The work on the rural construction site is quite tiring, at the end of the day, my legs are shaking, my arms are sore and sore, and after eating, my feet are scalded by hot water, and I almost get on the pillow, and I can't wake up. In addition, I was just sixteen years old at that time, and my strength had not grown, and the young man was very sleepy, so almost every night, I did not even have a dream, and I slept until dawn.

But on that night when the moon was big and round, something strange happened.

That night, because I got off work late, the workers would inevitably talk a little when they got off work, saying things like the boss's oppression of migrant workers, and I usually didn't interject in this kind of thing, because after all, my work was relatively easy.

In the eyes of those migrant workers, I am a relative of the emperor, and in their more vulgar words, I belong to the lice on the feathers of the birds, and the people on the roots.

After dinner, my master asked me to go to the village store to buy a pack of cigarettes for him, and I was young anyway, and I didn't have enough cigarettes in my pocket, so I borrowed a little money from my uncle and walked to the village store by moonlight.

We live in an empty house that the owner is looking for, not far from the commissary, standing at the door you can see the lights at the entrance of the commissary, the giant owner said that this house is one of his cousins, because he made money doing business outside, he bought a house in the city, and the original house in his hometown was vacant, just enough for us construction workers to live.

People who come out to work are not particular, as long as there is a place to sleep, in the later life, I also have the experience of sleeping in the bridge hole, so to have a house to shelter from the wind and rain, for us has been a lot of mistakes, at least there is no sleeping in the wild.

Out of the yard, I glanced in the direction of the commissary, and found that the business of this commissary was really not ordinary, although it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening and nearly nine o'clock, but the door was full of people.

"There must be someone playing mahjong here."

I think, because most people in the countryside have either been in the bed to watch TV or play mobile phones to surf the Internet, willing to come out at this time, there are only two kinds of people, one is a thief, the other is a gambler, the people of this village are quite simple, although it is not to talk about the road does not pick up and move the night and does not close the door, but there are almost no petty thefts.

After a glance, I walked to the commissary, because I was tired for a day, my eyes were a little uncomfortable, I tried not to look at the lights, but lowered my head and walked forward, I am too familiar with this road, since I came here, whenever I need some small things on the construction site, my uncle has sent me to buy, so to speak, I will not go wrong with my eyes closed, and I know that I can even get to the door of the commissary in a few steps.

I looked up, and suddenly saw that the light was still not far ahead, and I looked around, surrounded by other people's gables, and the direction was right. But my cold sweat came down in an instant, and I only felt that my scalp was exploding, and the hairs all over my body stood up, because I found that after walking for so long, I was still walking around not far from the door, as if I had been spinning in place just now.

Ghost hitting the wall? Thinking about it like this, I suddenly felt that my back was shining, and the white sweat was coming down, and my heart said that it was not right, it stands to reason that I am so young and vigorous, and I am still a child man who has not broken my body, it can be said that I am extremely heavy, and ordinary filthy things dare not meet me face to face, how can I meet a ghost hitting the wall?

Thinking of this, I took out a cigarette and lit one, took a hard puff, calmed down the nervousness with love, and said in my heart, anyway, it's just a few steps, it's a big deal to walk over, this time I don't walk with my head down, just look at the lights in front of me, the big moon and the earth, can you still see the dazzle?

Although I was cheering myself up, my heart was still beating disobediently, and my heart almost jumped to my throat, and my palms were full of sweat. Fortunately, I can see people coming and going from the commissary from time to time, and it seems that there are a lot of people who buy things.

Soon, I came to the entrance of the commissary, at this time I found that the original people came and went, and the very lively commissary was surprisingly deserted, only the proprietress of the half-aged was sitting on a chair and watching TV with melon seeds, and there was not even a ghost in the commissary.

"Boss, two packs of cigarettes." I took out a fifty sheet and put it on the counter.

"What do you want?"

When the proprietress who was originally watching TV intently saw me coming, she immediately accosted me with a smile on her face, because she knew that as long as I came, she would definitely send him money, and the best cigarettes I bought on the whole construction site, no less than ten yuan a pack.

"Take two packs of ten canals."

Shiqu is the abbreviation, that is, the red flag canal of ten yuan a pack. The proprietress threw two packs of Shiqu in front of me, and then bowed her head to find me money, I picked up a pack, tore open the package, took out one and put it under my nose, and said to the old lady while smelling it: "Boss, your business here is really good, what time is it, or the business continues." ”

"Liangzi, don't make fun of me, I can't do this business anymore, I don't have any business, I don't have any business, and I lose money, I plan to go out of the store after this batch of goods is sold, and farm the land honestly, I don't have the life to make a fortune in business."

"Can't you? Just now I saw a lot of people coming to buy things outside, don't cry poor in front of me, I don't lend you money, your business doesn't matter to me, how many days can I stay here? I'll leave when I'm done. ”

I said to the proprietress while smoking, this girl stared and said nonsense, just now there was an endless stream of people coming and going, and in a blink of an eye she said that there was no business, I was really not afraid of more money and biting my hands, the richer I was, the more I was fascinated.

"What do you say? A lot of people just came? The proprietress looked at me with a frightened look on her face. As if I was talking about something very scary.

"Yes......" As soon as I said this, I seemed to know something from the look of the proprietress and suddenly felt a chill all over my body, as if someone was blowing cold air on my neck, and the hairs on my body stood up instantly.
