Chapter 31 Accident
"So far, everything has been fine, and then the construction team started piling and building the foundation well.
The antique tower we built was required to be nine floors, and when the project reached the second floor, there were intermittent accidents on the construction site.
At first, it was not a big deal, at most, it was a power outage, a variety of power outages, and the maintenance could not find out the reason, but it was not good yet, and then the power was cut off again and again within a few days, and it was repeated over and over again.
After a while, the circuit problem may have been found, the power was uninterrupted, and there were no major problems, so the tower was successfully built to the fifth floor, and it was at this time that frequent problems began to occur again.
First there were frequent power outages for unknown reasons, and then there was the breaking of building materials.
The materials we use are all from large factories, which are very guaranteed, and the quality is also very good, not to mention that we have cooperated for many years and have never had problems, but those days are very evil, such as the prefabricated boards, they are all hung up, and two of them are cracked from the middle.
And the most terrible thing, the hanging tower, the steel rope on it is broken, if you don't find it in time, if the thing is broken, something will happen.
Oh, there are a lot of things like this, and during that time, the construction site has not stopped, all of them are these problems, very intensive, so some people gossip, talking about pushing the pavilion on the day of construction.
They felt that there was a reason why the crazy old man who appeared that day did not let the pavilion be pushed, maybe something had collided, and they also said that this kind of thing had to be sacrificed so that the project could be successfully completed.
I didn't pay much attention to this at the time, thinking that they were just talking nonsense, but this matter spread on the construction site within a few days, and then the above sent people to hold a construction site meeting for everyone, not to talk about this kind of things that violate social values, let us focus on safety, and let the maintenance workers shorten the maintenance cycle, ensure the normal operation of the construction, and so on.
At that time, I felt that the leader was quite right, but there were still problems at the construction site in three days, and later I muttered in my heart.
At this time, my second uncle suddenly asked me to go back to my hometown, saying that his father-in-law was short of manpower to build a house, and asked me to go back to help, and he would give me a salary.
How could I ask for my second uncle's money, but there was also a shortage of people here at that time, and I was afraid that the foreman would not let me go, so my second uncle told me that he was very familiar with the foreman, so I didn't have to worry about this, he solved it, and let me stay in my hometown for a few more days.
I didn't think much of it, I got on the train and went back to my hometown. When I got home and went to help my second uncle and father-in-law, the houses over there were basically built, and there was no shortage of manpower at all.
After five or six days in my hometown, I bought a ticket and went back to the construction site, only to find that one of my older brothers, who lived in the same shed, was missing and did not return in the evening.
This eldest brother's surname is Zhao, his name is Zhao Jianchun, the family conditions are not good, the old lady is paralyzed in bed, his wife died of cancer, and there is a little daughter who is only 11 years old.
I was wondering, a co-worker came to the door, and mysteriously told me to go out to smoke, and he asked me what I was doing these days, and I told the truth, but he seemed to want to say something to me and went back, so I asked him what was wrong? ”
"Smack!" The first tape was finished on side A.
Qin Ding was already familiar with the road, and his movements were smooth and unadulterated, and he quickly changed the tape.
"You can go on"
"Oh oh good! Belch...... This worker said that there was a big incident at the construction site a few days ago, and when I heard it, I had a bad premonition at that time, thinking that it would not have anything to do with Brother Zhao, so I asked the worker what happened.
The worker said that I had taken leave that day, and I would have been the one who had no accident.
That afternoon, I was supposed to go to the shelf, but didn't I ask for leave and leave, Brother Zhao went to the area where I worked, working on the shelf five floors away, but a few shelves fell apart, he fell down and died on the spot, and a steel pipe was inserted into his chest, which was particularly miserable.
I was directly shocked, scared out of a cold sweat, if I didn't go back to my hometown, maybe I would have fallen.
I was glad and scared at the same time, and I also felt that Brother Zhao's life was not good, and his death would be the end of their family.
I asked about the compensation, and the worker said that the foreman had insured everyone, and only compensated Brother Zhao for the insurance premium, but in fact, it was the responsibility of the construction site to scatter the shelf, and it should be compensated extra, but Brother Zhao's family did not have anyone who could take charge of the matter, so the matter was over.
I'm a little unhappy in my heart, but I'm also quite helpless, I'm just a scaffolder, I can't manage this kind of thing.
After that, the foreman personally watched the construction site every day, and asked the people in the maintenance team to increase the inspection efforts, and the workers also spared their lives, and every time before going to work, they would check the equipment again.
Although work was done at night many times, there were no safety accidents, such as the inexplicable power outages or accidents earlier.
In this way, everyone gradually forgot about this matter, but when the project was about to be completed, one night my second uncle got drunk and said something at the dinner table, and I found out............ Brother Zhao's death was not an accident.
In fact, before the incident, the shelf that had the accident was overhauled and had a problem, but it was not repaired in time, but deliberately made its problem a little more serious.
No wonder the second uncle urged me to go back to my hometown that day, and his father-in-law's house was basically completed, and there was no shortage of people at all.
I really don't understand why I want to hurt people like this. I was very angry and reasoned with my second uncle.
My second uncle said that this matter is very complicated, and although his conscience will be condemned, he can't help it.
I asked the second uncle why he did this, and he said that there was always an accident in the construction site, and the boss found some side roads, which required a dead person, blood sacrifice, which is the so-called 'driving pile'.
Chief Huidao, you should know what a stake is, right? ”
"One thing to know, it is said that when some major projects are completed, the project will be blocked or unable to proceed smoothly because of the destruction of local feng shui, and the boys and girls will be buried alive near the construction site, or poured into the head and tail piers of the bridge, which is a kind of sacrifice, so as to ensure the smooth operation of the whole project, and after the completion of the construction, the project will be guarded by the sacrificial spirit, and will not collapse for some reasons."
"Yes, Hui Daochang, I have occasionally heard this kind of thing on the construction site before, saying that it is to build a bridge, and to sacrifice children in the bridge piers, I thought that these people were talking nonsense, after all, what age, how dare they do this, but I didn't expect it to happen around me.
I asked my second uncle what happened, but he didn't say anything at the time, asking me not to inquire anymore, he didn't want me to get involved in this kind of troubled water.
It wasn't until later that a lot of things happened, and my second uncle told me what had happened.
It turned out that as early as when the ancient tower was built to the second floor, after those problems occurred frequently, the boss privately discussed with the foreman to find a "master".
After finding it, the master first used some methods to deal with it temporarily, so that the ancient tower was successfully built to the fifth floor, but after that, his ability could not be suppressed, and then there was a mess, and he told the boss that if he didn't want to find a way, the project would have to be stopped.
So they had the idea of sacrificing the living, and then they pulled my second uncle in.
My second uncle was in charge of overhauling the shelves, and the boss and foreman knew him well before, and there were some interests between them, which was complicated anyway.
When I pulled him in, I didn't tell him that I was going to kill anyone at first, but I just settled him to go up and check the shelves more than once he had a problem, and if there was a problem, he would report it first and then repair it.
My second uncle didn't know what to do at first, but he did as the foreman instructed.
He found that there were problems with some of the shelves on the fifth floor, and after telling the foreman, the foreman told him not to repair the shelves there recently, and he was responsible for what happened. As soon as my second uncle heard this, he guessed that these people wanted to fix things.
At this time, the foreman suddenly asked my second uncle to keep his mouth shut about the shelf, as long as he didn't make a noise, the engineering team would take care of my second uncle and me wherever he went.
The foreman said it all like this, and even if he didn't pick out anything, my second uncle had already guessed what was going to happen.
He was actually very panicked in his heart, and he couldn't help it after thinking about it, those people didn't pick it out, and he didn't have any evidence, so he had to be blind.
And after the incident, it was true that the construction site was also stable, and the evil sect in it made him afraid of ghosts and gods, and he didn't dare to poke this kind of thing out.
This is how this happened, although I only learned about this later, but I also knew that the second uncle was for my good and didn't want me to get involved, and he also had a troubled conscience, but there was no way.
I know that the second uncle did something wrong, even a crime, but I can't report him. Over the years, I followed my second uncle everywhere, he taught me a lot, and he also took care of me, if it weren't for him, I would never have been able to leave the mountain village of my hometown, so I also violated my conscience at that time and decided to rot this matter into my stomach.
Unexpectedly, retribution came so quickly.
Two months later, the project was completed. At the time of acceptance, my second uncle and I were also there, but we were all people at the bottom, and we would not follow the boss, foreman and acceptance personnel to go up, and many of us just waited for the acceptance to end by the tree under the tower.
At that time, my second uncle and I didn't talk much, because I had something bad in my heart, and I always felt that this place was a little swishy.
After maybe forty or fifty minutes, I saw a group of people coming out of the ancient tower gate.
Then the boss shook hands with the acceptance party at the door and said something. Suddenly, I don't know what's going on, a loess wind blew, and some leaves were rolled, so that people's eyes couldn't open. At this time, I heard I don't know who it was, anyway, it was a man's voice, the voice was quite loud, a bit like he was choking his neck and shouting, he shouted a word. ”
"What are you shouting?"
"Three a year!"
"Don't you see who shouted?"
"Anyway, I didn't see it, I closed my eyes to avoid the wind at that time, and when I opened my eyes, the wind was gone, and everyone present was puzzled, and some people asked each other what three a year.
Alas! I didn't know what it meant at the time, and then I found that the foreman on the other side of the tower gate looked at the boss with a slightly wrong expression, and at this time, my second uncle's face suddenly changed, and he asked me to leave there with him quickly.
I don't know what happened, but I followed the second uncle and walked out, and before we had walked a few steps, I heard the people behind me exclaim, and when the second uncle and I turned around, we found that many people rushed towards the tower gate, as if someone was lying on the ground.
My second uncle had a frightened face, he didn't even say a word, he turned his head and walked outside, I actually had a faint sense of foreboding, but I couldn't say it clearly, my heart was very hairy, so I followed the second uncle away.
When I got out of the scenic spot, my second uncle asked me to go back to my temporary residence first, and he went to do something, but I didn't dare to ask what was going on.
It wasn't until the evening that the second uncle came back from outside, but he still didn't mention the daytime to me.
After two days like this, the second uncle seemed to have been running outside during the day with something important, and I wandered blindly to the worker's side. ”
