The project of connecting the Youth Canal with the Nandu River has indeed been completed.

But something went wrong.

"Hell it, how did things come to this?"

Li Chao, the foreman of the contract, pulled his already small hair in distress.

One of his workers, Xu Dong, was missing, no one could be found, and the phone could not be reached.

According to other workers, that night, they played cards and drank together, and Xu Dong drank a little too much, ran out to pee, and never came back.

At that time, everyone didn't pay much attention, thinking that he went back to sleep first, but who knew that they didn't see him the next day, and they couldn't find anyone at all.

When he heard the news, Li Chao felt a sigh in his heart and secretly complained.

Seeing that the project is about to end and can leave, who knew that such a thing happened.

Hurry up and mobilize all the staff to find it.

As a result, after searching for two days, I searched all over a radius of several kilometers, but I was stunned and found no one.

Rumors have begun to circulate among the workers in private, saying that the project is completed and the river god wants sacrifices, and Xu Dong is the one who was sacrificed.

When Li Chao heard this, he scolded directly: "Let go of his fart!" ”

That's right.

Almost every engineering team will put some sacrifices and set off firecrackers before the start of construction to show the good luck of the start of construction.

Li Chao is no exception.

But he is a believer in demons and gods.

If there are really ghosts and gods, why did my old mother eat fasting and chanting Buddha for so many years, and she still disappeared in her early sixties?

Besides, before the project started, the project team found someone to do the legal work, and if there was a problem, it should have been solved at that time.

But for now, if no one can be found, the worker's family will have to be compensated according to the accidental death.

At least 800,000 will have to be paid!

Although there is insurance, it is difficult to explain the dead.

And he has known Xu Dong for many years, and the other party has worked under him for several years, but he didn't expect to lose people this time.

It's uncomfortable!

The dormitory at the construction site is not far from the river, and if Xu Dong has any accidents, there is a high probability that he will fall into the river.

It stands to reason that this is the third day, and if you fall into the river, you should float up. As a result, no one has been born or dead.

Li Chao was puzzled.

And today a worker came to him and told him that Xu Dong's family seemed to know about it, although he didn't know where he knew it, but this undoubtedly made him even more irritable.

"Wait another day, if you can't find it, you can only have a showdown with Xu Dong and his family."

……

Meanwhile.

Chen Jingle appeared above the construction site of the Qingnian Canal and Nandu River connection project.

His consciousness swept away, and he didn't find any traces of souls around.

But I found a special place.

"At the end of this Youth Canal, there is a dead man's bay?"

He frowned slightly.

It's a scene that I never imagined.

What does Dead Man's Bay mean?

It's a place where floating corpses will accumulate in the waters of some rivers.

In fact, many large rivers exist in the Bay of the Dead. For example, the mother river of Daxia, the "backwater bay" in the estuary village section and the "old pants bay" in Xiaheping Village are all famous dead man's bays and floating corpse gathering places. Every year, dozens or hundreds of bodies are recovered there.

As a result, a rather mysterious profession was derived, that is, corpse diggers, also known as corpse bearers.

Although the Qingnian Canal is not as famous as other major rivers in Daxia, it is 74 kilometers long, and there are countless villages on both sides, and people drown every year. If the body is not recovered in time, it will naturally drift down the river to the end of the canal, where it will be piled up, thus forming a dead man's bay.

Over the decades, the bodies of countless drowning people have been found here, some salvaged and some permanently sunk to the bottom of the river, which can be called a mobile morgue.

Although no ghosts were formed, the dead qi accumulated at the bottom of the river was too strong.

It's so rich that it makes normal people feel cold and biting.

Chen Jingle suspected that if he hadn't discovered this place in time, over time, by chance, a king-level weird might not be born.

The surface of the river seems to be calm, but through the surface of the water, you will find that the wills of countless dead people are entangled underwater. Once someone falls into the water, the body of the new person will be dragged underwater, and the soul will be imprisoned in it, and it will be difficult to reincarnate.

It's not tricky, it's better than trick!

"You can't stay here!"

Chen Jingle secretly decided.

So, where are Li Jianmei and her son Xu Dong now?

……

Chen Jingle's consciousness first swept over the cement dams on both sides of the canal, and then across the bridges on the river that had not yet been released, as well as the piers below, and even underground, but found no abnormalities.

The quality of the work is also okay.

This made him frown and secretly relieved at the same time.

Legend has it that when the engineering team encounters a hole that cannot be drilled or cannot be filled, it will choose to drive raw piles, that is, push people into the holes and pour them together with cement to achieve the purpose of sacrifice.

He had heard similar rumors.

In fact, this bad habit existed in ancient times, but it has become extinct in modern society.

Because after the completion of the project in this year, ultrasonic testing must be done, but if it is unqualified, it will have to be restarted. I have to work backwards and pay for it all over again, and no engineering team would be so stupid.

If a hole pile can't be driven, it's nothing more than those problems, the collapse caused by the pebbles of the dark river cave, or the rock layer is too hard, or the hole is deviated, or the concrete pile has problems.

If you can't do any link, there are solutions.

Either shorten the pile length, expand the pier foundation, and then hit the associated piles, one becomes three. At most, it is 100,000, and a life costs 780,000.

Human life is sometimes worthless, but it is still more expensive than digging a few more piles.

Ignorance and superstition are unacceptable, family!!

We have to believe in science!!

In fact, most of the common casualties on construction sites are due to the poor safety quality of construction personnel.

For example, Chen Jingle has a classmate, his brother is a contractor, there is a new worker at their construction site who did not wear a hard hat, fell when he climbed the stairs, knocked his head, and did not die, but the sequelae are more troublesome. Coincidentally, I had just joined the company that day, and I didn't have time to buy insurance, so I lost more than 600,000 yuan before and after.

It is common sense to wear a helmet when entering the construction site.

There is also a common situation, Party A exerts pressure on Party B, so that Party B uses people as animals in order to catch up with the schedule, and fatigue work, which is prone to accidents.

If there is really something to do, roast pigs, cows, heads, sheep, chickens and ducks, burn the incense paper money, and you are still not satisfied, and you still want to eat people, then you should copy the guy and do it!

……

"Then, there is a high probability that it is at the bottom of the river."

Chen Jingle squinted slightly, his gaze fell on the surface of the river, and his divine sense went deep into the bottom of the river.

It is estimated that this is the first time that someone has detected the bottom of the canal, and this is a completely different world from the above.

While the divine sense "saw" many half-concealed and half-exposed scattered white bones and various messy items under the mud at the bottom of the river, he also saw a figure wearing construction site camouflage that had been soaked and swollen by the river.

The face is faintly recognizable.

It should be that Xu Dong.

Fortunately, the location here is relatively special, and the river fish dare not approach, so the corpse has not been eaten clean.

At the bottom of the river, there were no less than one or two meters of aquatic weeds, which were tightly wrapped around his limbs.

In fact, these aquatic plants are the embodiment of the rich and dead air.

Chen Jingle probed over, and these aquatic plants immediately looked like mice seeing cats, and they fled in all directions and fell. The sunken corpse, which was unbound, suddenly began to float.

"Xu Dong!"

It seems that Xu Dong, who was sleeping, heard someone call his name, and suddenly a spirit opened his eyes.

"Come with me."

Chen Jingle did not explain, and directly took his soul away.

And after he left, Xu Dong's body also surfaced, leaned to the shore, and was found by the workers, shouting and salvaging ashore.

While Li Chao, the foreman of the contract, was glad that he had finally found someone, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Iniquity!"

……

Regarding how to let Xu Dong meet his family, Chen Jingle immediately thought of the art of marrying his dreams!

He directly took Xu Dong into the dream world of his mother Li Jianmei.

was also pulled in, as well as Li Jianmei's eldest son, Xu Dong and his eldest brother Xu Cheng.

"Li Jianmei, is this your son Xu Dong?"

Chen Jingle, who deliberately blurred his true face, asked Li Jianmei in a deep voice.

Li Jianmei was still a little dazed, obviously she was still talking to Lady Zhang in a whisper just now, why did she suddenly appear here?

When her eyes fell on the figure standing next to Chen Jingle wearing construction site camouflage and wet clothes, and when she saw the familiar and concerned face, she finally reacted.

"Son!!"

"Mom? Elder brother? ”

Xu Dong didn't react to what was going on, and he was stunned for a moment when he saw his mother and eldest brother appear.

Mrs. Li burst into tears, crying loudly.

Since ancient times, white-haired people send black-haired people, nothing more.

The eldest brother Xu Cheng also had red and swollen eyes and tears.

The mother and son, who are already separated by yin and yang, hug their heads and cry in this illusory dream.
