Chapter 30: Driving Stakes
"I must have bought it, and I could have done it. I got up earlier than you, and I took the bus a few stops, and there was a food seller there. ”
Qin Ding had already opened the lid of the lunch box, and the white and tender bean curd was still covered with some leek flowers that had not been stirred.
Uncle Ma continued: "I didn't put chili oil on you, if you can eat spicy, I'll put it next time." ”
Qin Ding sighed inwardly, if it weren't for those things, how could he have doubts about such a careful and thoughtful Uncle Ma.
"I can eat spicy. I have to trouble my uncle to take care of my food every day. ”
"You kid is polite, we will get along for a long time in the future, and we will be similar to relatives, you can't treat yourself as an outsider."
Qin Ding dipped the fritters into the soup, and his mood was a little complicated.
So far, Uncle Ma seems to be honest, and if it weren't for the message at the end of the tape, he would never have paid attention to Uncle Ma.
Uncle Ma continued to take care of himself: "Besides, you chose to be the head of this place, I persuaded you a few times and you didn't listen, you can only work here in the future, taking care of your living is a matter of duty, what do you need, as long as you don't violate the rules, try to be satisfied, after all, we are more special, we are doing things for God, although the rules are harsh, but as long as you do your duty and accumulate merits, you also have the opportunity to achieve positive results." ”
"Uncle, are you saying that as long as the work performance is good and the time is long, there is a chance to leave here?"
That's pretty much what it means. Don't be distracted, or finish the work at hand, this week's appointment is getting less and less day by day, and you haven't written about the third event yet, hurry up, don't be punished for progress, it's not worth it. ”
Qin Ding chewed the fritters and suddenly thought that he had just dictated one by one in the past few days, and had not checked how many incidents there were, so he really didn't have enough time.
"Uncle, do you know how many incidents I asked me to record in seven days? I've been patronizing and adapting to it these days, but I haven't checked it. ”
Uncle Ma didn't seem to be sure, got up and walked to the desk, and rummaged twice in the wooden box.
"Ah, there are ten."
Qin Ding was stunned, the fritters had no taste in his mouth, he secretly thought, ten events, completed in seven days, he was sloppy, he didn't think about this problem.
"Uncle, doesn't count the day I just came? When I came, it was going to be dark, and you didn't urge me to make my own arrangements. ”
"Well, that day...... Counted. ”
"Huh?"
"If you put a fingerprint on the agreement, it's even if it starts."
Qin Ding was a little panicked in his heart.
"If it's ten...... It was a bit of a time crunch. ”
Uncle Ma smiled.
"Panic, I think there should be no problem, you may not be very proficient in writing in the past two days, the more you go to the back, the faster you should write, if you calculate carefully, according to your progress, a week is just right."
Qin Ding roughly lined up in his heart, if no one disturbed to listen and write, seven days should be just right.
His hanging heart lowered a little, and he suddenly remembered the knock on the door last night.
"Oh yes, uncle, I've opened my eyes to heaven, I should be able to see those things, right?"
Uncle Ma looked at him with a smile.
"Sky Eye? I don't have that much ability, I can directly make you have an epiphany. ”
"Huh? Isn't it the eye of heaven that makes me see ghosts? I don't quite understand. ”
Uncle Ma shook his head.
"The eyes I opened to you have a function of yin and yang eyes, which is just an ability of your position.
Becoming a Boss is a must, just like the Soul Hunter. ”
Qin Ding nodded slightly, as if he had an epiphany.
"Uncle, are there any special ghosts that I can't see with my eyes?"
"What's wrong, Xiao Qin?"
"Uh...... There was another knock on the door last night. ”
"Knocking again?" Uncle Ma looked a little surprised.
"Well, before I opened the door, the door was pushed open, I could feel something at the door, but I couldn't see it, so I asked you, is there a yin and yang eye that can't see."
Uncle Ma frowned slightly.
"There's no way those things are going to wander around here, they don't dare, so I didn't take it seriously when you knocked on the door a few times before.
Xiao Qin, except for knocking on the door, there is nothing else abnormal, right? ”
"Nope. Isn't it a ghost? ”
Uncle Ma touched his chin.
"Maybe it's not a ghost, because as long as it's a complete soul, you can see it regardless of whether there is a grudge or not.
Unless...... Those remnant souls who are not even ghosts are almost transparent in color, and they generally do not show any form, and they cannot be seen by the yin and yang eyes. ”
Qin Ding was a little curious about how this kind of thing was formed, a person's soul after death was incomplete, it was really miserable.
"There is still such a thing in the world, is it a state of dismemberment?"
"Pretty much. There's a lot in this world that you don't know, so take your time and get to know it.
But you don't have to be afraid, the remnant soul sometimes does something like a headless fly because of obsession, but it has no ability to harm people, so it is not enough to cause trouble. ”
Uncle Ma got up as he spoke.
"Xiao Qin, I have to go. Oh yes, the talisman on the door...... Don't move. ”
"The talisman?"
Uncle Ma said as he walked out: "This talisman keeps peace, and Tianyang drives away trouble." ”
"Okay, Uncle Ma."
After Uncle Ma left, Qin Ding sat back in his chair, and he had to hurry up and write.
He was actually a little afraid, he didn't think of this problem at first, and he dared to press his fingerprint on the agreement without checking how many events, if there were two more or more, he might not be able to complete it if he stayed up late, it seems that he needs to think more and pay more attention to things in the future.
With the spur of time, or as Uncle Ma said, he did not waste a minute and seconds, and recorded all the third events in the transcript very smoothly.
After writing, it was ten o'clock in the morning, and he went straight to the wooden box and began to rummage through the fourth event.
In terms of time and sequence, he found five tapes, which were uniformly marked with the words "Antique Tower" and read September 18, 1997.
It was the first time he had flipped through the five tapes, which made him somewhat curious, and he quickly put the tapes into the tape recorder, and a man's voice came from inside.
"The name of the event: driving piles
Date of occurrence: August 22, 1997
Client: Cao Dawei
Contractor: Murder Detective Center (Unusual Matters Investigation Division)
Location of the incident: Taohuadu Tourist Attraction, Taipingqiao District, Yunzhong City. ”
The sound of clothes rubbing against the tape could be heard.
"Master Cao, don't worry, now you can tell me the details of the matter, and I will handle this matter personally."
"You are a master, you are good at dealing with this kind of thing, you must save me and my second uncle."
"If you want me to save you, you need to have nothing to hide in this matter, it's also a matter of human life, if you lie for some reason, then there is really nothing you can do."
"No, no, no, then Daoist Hui, where do I start?"
Qin Ding's eyes lit up, and Daoist Hui, who appeared repeatedly in the tape, was also a soul hunter?
"Let's start with you starting with this job."
"Oooh. That had to start in September last year.
As for me, I have followed my second uncle out to work since I was a child, and we are scaffolding workers, and we have been working on construction sites for some years. Sometimes it takes only a few days to work short-term, and sometimes when it comes to big projects, it takes a long time, one or two years.
In July last year, our project boss contracted a project to build an antique tower in the Taohuadu tourist area on the other side of the Taiping Bridge.
My second uncle and I went with the construction team.
In the place where the ancient tower is to be built, there is a pavilion called Changyuan Pavilion that I don't know when it was built, and there is a big hole at the top of the pavilion, which has long been dilapidated. If you want to build an ancient pagoda, you must tear down this pavilion, which is also allowed.
That day, the excavator, the forklift and the workers were all in place, but at this time, an old man with some torn clothes appeared out of nowhere, and as soon as he came up, he stopped in front of the excavator and shouted that he couldn't push it.
At that time, the project boss was not there, and the contractor on the scene asked the people around him who the old man was, and the people around him said that the old man's surname was Li, and he had a bit of a mental problem, and he was sometimes good and sometimes bad.
As soon as the person in charge heard that he was crazy, he asked the old man to be forcibly pushed aside.
The crazy old man shouted that he couldn't push, and slapped his thigh and stepped forward, but at this time, a middle-aged man seemed to be his relative, and dragged the old man away.
At that time, we all thought it was a farce and didn't take it too seriously, and then the construction site was in a hurry and knocked down the Changyuan Pavilion in the morning.
It's strange to say, when the pavilion was knocked down, there was a strange noise all of a sudden, and I couldn't hear where the sound came from, and I didn't know what it was, but it was very loud anyway, and many people heard it. ”
“…… Master Cao, is that movement like the kind of fireworks set off during the Chinese New Year? From near to far? ”
"Yes, yes, yes, it's the voice of the monkey. There was a whoosh, thin, high-pitched sound, and it was very loud. How do you know? ”
"This ...... Finally, I can explain it to you, so go ahead. ”
"Oh, good.
At that time, the sound came out, the people present did not know what was going on, discussed with each other, stopped the work in their hands and waited for a long time and did not find out, at this time, the sky was suddenly cloudy, the foreman thought it was going to rain, and urged everyone to work quickly, that is, at this time, the workers removed the remaining soil and stones of the pavilion, and found that there seemed to be a few pieces of things buried in the soil under the pavilion.
Those of us who have been working on the construction site for many years have seen a lot of strange things, so a few of us have not seen what is buried under this pavilion before we can see what is buried under this pavilion, and we have begun to mumble quietly.
They feel that before the official start of construction, there will be a series of problems, which is a little unlucky. But because of the presence of the steward, they didn't dare to say anything.
The foreman may also have some doubts in his heart, so he personally went to check with a few workers, and found that in the soil under the pavilion, there were three stone stakes the thickness of an arm.
The contractor asked them to dig them out, but they didn't dig to the end for a long time, and the piles were quite long. Those of us felt that these three stone pillars might have been used to strengthen the pavilion, which was the same as piling.
The contractor later thought so, so he didn't let people continue to dig, and directly asked the excavator to remove it.
It didn't take long for the excavator to dig out the three stone stakes, and I saw that the pillars were at least three or four meters long. ”
"Master Cao, have you noticed what color the soil dug out by the excavator?"
"This ...... I didn't really pay much attention to it, but in a flash, I remembered that the soil was darker, much darker than when I first dug it up. ”
"Well, you go ahead."
"After the stone pillars were dug out, nothing special happened, and the construction team began to clean and level the land, and the whole project was about to officially start.
At this time, the boss of the project suddenly came, walked around the periphery, and talked for a long time with the foreman near the pavilion that he had knocked down, and then the boss left, and the foreman called my second uncle over.
He asked my second uncle to buy some paper fire and other things.
I know this, and some of the projects we follow have to pray and pray before the start of construction.
My second uncle handed over this errand to me, and asked me to buy a pig's head, I thought that maybe the pavilion was not very smooth, so this worship battle was bigger.
I bought the things back as requested, and the next morning, the foreman personally offered the pig's head, burned incense and prayed, and burned the paper fire, and then it was officially started. ”
