Chapter 371: Exhaustion
Lao Wu was engrossed in digging the soil, but the sudden sound behind him made him completely dumbfounded, and he didn't dare to move when he maintained his posture, swallowed his saliva and glanced behind him with the corner of his eye, only a basket dangling, who was there? But Lao Wu obviously heard a particularly empty voice just now, and the aftermath still echoed at the bottom of the narrow well several times, which could not be misheard. If you don't hear it wrong, and you can't see anyone, then there must be a ghost.
Lao Wu unconsciously began to pull on the ghost, this dark well only from the top of the hole above the light will be sprinkled down, the fish scale marks dug out by the shovel on the wall of the well are particularly three-dimensional, as if in a strange cave, not like a well. After thinking about it in his head, Lao Wu gritted his teeth and held back, and finally withdrew his eyes from around him, and looked down to see how deep the shovel had dug in. But this time he lowered his head, and found that he found that the shovel was actually inserted in the face of a person who was half submerged in the soil, and the frightened old Wu shrank his hand and jumped up, but he hit the basket behind him, and the half basket of damp sand was directly buckled on his body, and he fell back and lay at the bottom of the well.
"Hey, I said! Lao Wu, what the hell is wrong with you? This big grave was dug so deep that there were no dead people? I don't need Hu Ye to go down and help, haha! Suddenly, Hu Dabao's voice came from above, but in this narrow well, the voice sounded around him, and it felt like Hu Dabao was standing behind him and laughing at him.
At this time, Lao Wu reacted, it turned out that the sound just now was Hu Dafang on the well who deliberately scared him, and when he looked down at the shovel, the place where the shovel surface sank into the dirt did not have a human face that looked quite permeable just now, just a very ordinary mud. After being illuminated by the faint light above, it looked like a face poking out of the dirt at that special angle just now, which scared Lao Wu enough. It's a terrible day.
Lao Wu got up directly, stood at the bottom of the well and scolded Hu Da's ancestor. said that he lacked virtue for eight lifetimes. But Hu Da was not happy on it, and he squeezed his eyebrows with a few brothers, but the fourth child kicked over, but fortunately he reacted quickly and supported the hole with both hands, otherwise he would have arched in, and he was scared.
"Don't, don't make a fuss! Hurry up and drag me up! Lao Wu below was also taken aback by Hu Dafang, if this guy fell down, he would be stoned to death, so he quickly beckoned his brother to pull the rope and get him up, and before leaving, he pulled out the shovel and thought that he would not work today, he was too tired to do it. Unexpectedly, the moment he pulled out the shovel, he actually brought out a stream of water. Seeing this, Lao Wu quickly scooped up a piece of mud and slapped it a few times at the place where the water gushed, sealing the water, and then climbed out of the well with a rope.
The brothers listened to the blind man in the roadside stall for an afternoon, and only after waiting for the bulk goods did they think of Lao Wu's stubble, and trotted all the way to the blind man and pushed the cart to the place where Lao Wu worked, and wanted to help, but he saw that the yard was full of mud dug out of the ground, and it was estimated that Lao Wu was almost dug and didn't need them, so he planned to wait on it. But Hu Da has nothing to do, so he has to tease Lao Wu below. pinched his throat and rushed down with a strange voice to say that there was a dead person or something, and the brothers were still stealing fun at first, but when they heard Lao Wu turn his face and scold, he felt that this Hu Da Arm had done something stupid again, and the fourth child didn't hold back and raised his foot and kicked him.
It's getting late. Lao Wu asked his brother to unload the stones on the cart, and said to his father: "Brother, this well is almost done." I'll do it here today, and I'll come back tomorrow to build the wall. I guess I'm going to be busy for a day or two. ”
Dunzi's father smiled and said, "He really deserves to be a good hand in the earth dragon, and he only worked for half a day to build a well." I have prepared all the money we said was good, and you can count it. When he said this, he took out a few crumpled tickets from his pocket and handed them to Lao Wu.
But Lao Wu waved his hand and said: "Brother, this work is not finished yet, and it is not too late to give it to me when it is all over, you put the money away and don't lose it, then we will go back first." Lao Wu was not in a good mood, he didn't feel anything when he saw the money, and he was only halfway through the work, so he didn't take the money, but took his brothers and dragged the cart away, leaving behind the dirt all over the yard.
On the way, the brothers are still talking about the story told by the blind man, and the few small ones are discussing the authenticity of the story, how much is true and how much is made up by the blind man? But Lao Wu walked in front with his head down and a cigarette in his mouth, and he hadn't spoken to his brothers for a long time, Hu Dabao thought that this Lao Wu was angry with himself, walked quickly to Lao Wu's side with a shy face, and said with a smile: "Hey! What's wrong? Look at you like that, that face is almost pulling to the ground! As for it? Am I kidding you? You're weird enough today, isn't that the good guy didn't serve you well? Hey, isn't your good friend a widow? ”
It's really a pot that doesn't open and mention which pot this Hu Da Arm will mention, Lao Wu originally responded to what the blind man said, he always felt that he was entangled in something dirty, so he was so unlucky. I don't want to do anything more, these things I encountered today are enough to annoy, I just want to go back and sleep with my head bored, and sleep until dawn and have no worries.
Seeing that Lao Wu ignored him, Hu Dazhu also knew that this was self-deprecating and boring, so he didn't bother him anymore, after returning to the dormitory, Xiao Qi didn't know what was cooking in the pot by chopping wood and burning fire, Lao Wu didn't even take off his clothes and went directly to the kang to lie down and sleep. After waiting for Xiao Qi to finish dinner, he planned to call Lao Wu to get up to eat, but before he could enter the house, he was stopped by the fourth child.
"Qi'er, Lao Wu may be tired today, don't call him, let him sleep, I guess he can't be hungry now after eating a lot at noon, you go eat quickly!"
Xiao Qi heard the fourth child say this, so he had to nod and go to eat with the brother, a group of people squatted in the outhouse holding a bowl and didn't know what kind of paste to eat, but the food was delicious. The fourth child shook his head with a wry smile, struck a match and lit the oil lamp, took it to shine on Lao Wu, and then asked him softly, "Hey? Really slept? But Lao Wu didn't respond, the fourth looked down and thought for a while, then turned his head to look at the brothers who were still eating, put the oil lamp back on the table and went out.
As soon as the fourth child left, Lao Wu, who was lying on the kang, opened his eyes, he was very tired at this time, but he was thinking about a lot of things, so he couldn't sleep anyway. Lao Wu dug a well all afternoon today, he felt that he was a little powerless, especially compared with those few small ones, he was older than their father, and he really couldn't disagree with the old, it was indeed not good to always mix like this, the iron rice bowl that Director Liu said, Lao Wu felt that he couldn't hold it, it was better to have a certain financial road as soon as possible, and he could eat by himself when he was old and couldn't move in the future. Thinking about it like this, Lao Wu gradually became sleepy, and he could still hear the people in the outhouse talking in a daze, but it didn't take long for his head to sink and fall asleep, not only did he fall asleep, but he also had a dream.
