A beam of flashlight hit, Zhao Mingrui narrowed his eyes, and at this time he couldn't see what was happening on the other side at all.

At this time, an old man's voice came: "Gentleman, I am the one who gave you the key at the construction site during the day, it has not been peaceful here recently, I took my grandson home and happened to pass by here, come and see if you are okay!" ”

"You turn off the flashlight first! Don't follow me! Zhao Mingrui said vigilantly.

The old man turned off the flashlight.

Zhao Mingrui breathed a sigh of relief, but still cautiously put his hand on the gun and came to the gate of the courtyard.

An old man and a young man stood outside the courtyard, the old man looked honest in coarse linen clothes, and the child was wearing an old flower cotton jacket, and his cold little face was red and rubbing his hands.

"Yo, it's you, uncle, why did you come home so late?" The old man's face was indeed a little familiar, and Zhao Mingrui determined the identity of the old man after a little thought.

The old man smiled honestly: "Life is not good, continue to do odd jobs at night, this is not just after work with my grandson to prepare to go back to the suburbs of Tunzi, passing by here is not at ease to think about it." ”

The little boy on the side hid behind the old man and shivered, and his big eyes looked at Zhao Mingrui curiously.

"You're from Luojiatun, right? I'm afraid it will take an hour to walk back to Luojiatun from here, right? Zhao Mingrui went through the map in his mind, and there was indeed a village nearby.

The old man smiled wryly.

Looking at this old and young, they have to run around for life in the middle of the night in winter, and even have to walk home in order to save taxi money, Zhao Mingrui's heart is full of sympathy.

"Come in and warm up, you may not be able to call a car when you come here, but there is a bicycle in the house, wait for you to ride back first, and send it back tomorrow when it is convenient, the child is still young, don't freeze." Zhao Mingrui opened the door and welcomed the two into the house.

"I'm used to it if I don't care, don't look at him small, he's very sensible, not as squeamish as the children in the city," the old man hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I understand your kindness, it's really not peaceful here, let's go home early." ”

Zhao Mingrui looked at the old man's cracked hands, and said that he would let them enter the house to rest.

The old man couldn't shirk it, and took the child into the house.

When the two of them sat down, Zhao Mingrui asked, "What do you call the old man?" ”

"Li Fugui."

"My name is Li Tiandou!" The child replied, looking at Zhao Mingrui with big eyes full of smiles.

Zhao Mingrui touched his head lovingly, very cold.

Feeling a little sorry for this child, Zhao Mingrui quickly got up from the chair and hugged Li Tiandou to it.

"Old man, I just heard you say that it is not peaceful here, do you know what's going on?" Zhao Mingrui asked tentatively.

Li Fugui hugged the water cup and sighed: "Hey, I won't tell you, since the ground was broken last year, more than ten people have died in frequent accidents, and I have also found feng shui masters and Taoist priests. ”

Zhao Mingrui nodded, but he only learned today that there had been a fatal accident here last year.

Li Fugui sighed and continued: "It's not a good place, several construction sites are not peaceful, and I don't know why these people didn't leave. ”

Zhao Mingrui shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Urban construction projects, investment always has to return to the cost, how many people value human life this year?" All developers care about is real money. ”

Li Fugui smacked his lips, he didn't know much about the money, he only knew that he couldn't go hungry if he did odd jobs.

Li Fugui turned to ask curiously: "Master, look at your age, you are not too old, why are you doing something, why do you still come to this place to fight?" ”

It seems that the construction party did not tell the old man his identity when he asked him to give the key.

Zhao Mingrui said vaguely: "Isn't this someone who resigned before, and my friend was afraid of losing things on the construction site, so he asked me to come over and help." ”

Li Fugui gave a thumbs up and said: "The master is a bold lord, but help is help, there are some things that you don't believe in, it's really restless here at night!" ”

Zhao Mingrui turned around to pour hot water, and said thoughtfully: "The old man seems to be persuading me to leave." ”

Simplicity does not mean stupidity, the old man understands that it is easy for people to misunderstand that they have ideas about the things here.

Li Fugui smiled and stopped talking.

The time came to 23:30.

Li Fugui drank a cup of hot water and got up to say goodbye.

Zhao Mingrui was about to send him off, but he frowned and stopped.

A strong burnt smell came, and it didn't smell like firewood.

Zhao Mingrui looked at the stove.

saw that Li Tiandou's pants were already scorched because he was sitting too close to the stove, and he was still swinging his legs unconsciously.

Zhao Mingrui exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly went to take the child aside.

Unfortunately, while holding him, a small cloth bag in his pocket happened to fall into the stove.

The cloth bag contained his confidence, the talisman given by Su Yu.

didn't bother to look at the cloth bag, the child's injury at the moment was more important in Zhao Mingrui's eyes.

"Why don't you know how to hide! What to do if your leg burns! Zhao Mingrui was in a hurry and quickly ripped his trouser leg open.

The moment it was torn apart, Zhao Mingrui was so frightened that he sat on the ground.

There is no skin and flesh under the layers of cotton wool, it is clearly a pale leg bone!
