Most of the team members are middle-aged people over 40 years old who live a difficult life, and they choose to work so hard just to improve the conditions at home.

Among them, Xiao Liu and Xiao Zhou are the only two young people in the team.

Cleaning up the silt for the Heishui River is not a small project, and once completed, the wife and children will have food and drink in the next year.

Therefore, although the road is far away, after hearing the news, Captain Liu still rushed to Mingjia Village with his team and took over the project.

On the first day, there were no accidents, everyone was in full swing, thinking about how to buy a new dress for his wife and take the children to the next restaurant after getting his salary.

But the next day, there was an accident.

Lao Lin, who was over fifty years old in the team, was the oldest worker in the team, and because of his rich experience, he was arranged to work in the middle of the river that day.

His task was to use a high-pressure water cannon to wash the silt into the river and dilute it, and then use a mud pump to pump the silt to the river bank and transport it.

Because the river is depleted, even the middle of the river is only about one meter deep, and everyone is not worried about any safety problems, and each worker is more than ten meters apart.

Unexpectedly, while doing it, Lao Lin suddenly slipped under his feet, and the whole person fell into the water, and disappeared in an instant!

At first, everyone thought he was joking, but as time passed, Lao Lin never appeared, and the workers realized that something was wrong.

When everyone trekked over and wanted to fish into the water, Lao Lin had already floated up, and he had drowned!

Lao Lin died unexpectedly, and everyone was sad, but they didn't think too much.

After all, Lao Lin is old and weak, and it is easy to be unable to support this kind of high-intensity work for a long time.

In people's opinion, he must have choked on a few mouthfuls of water after slipping and falling, and he didn't change his breath at once, so he drowned in the water.

After dealing with Lao Lin's funeral, everyone continued to work and did not dare to delay too much.

After all, the contract says that they will clean up all the silt in the Heishui River within a month.

The day after Lao Lin drowned, another villager drowned in the river, but the workers still didn't pay much attention and continued to work hard.

In order to be in a hurry, the workers brought their tents with them when they came to Mingjia Village, lived in tents after work at night, and continued to work as soon as the morning dawned.

Although the tent was relatively hot and there were countless mosquito bites by the river, after a tiring day, the workers could not care about these things, and they could fall asleep as soon as they lay down in the tent.

However, Xiao Liu and Xiao Zhou couldn't adapt to this environment because they hadn't been in the team for a long time, and after getting off work yesterday, the two walked around after dinner, wanting to see if there was a suitable place to live.

It didn't take long for the two of them to rush back and tell Captain Liu that they had found a big empty mansion that could sleep more than a dozen people!

Captain Liu was also very curious, so he followed them and traveled north along the west tributary, and sure enough, in a barren forest, he found an empty house.

Xiao Zhou and the two suggested that everyone could sleep in it at night to avoid mosquito bites.

But Captain Liu was worried that this was the land of the owner, and if someone found out, it would cause unnecessary disputes and affect the progress of the project, so he did not agree.

Xiao Liu and Xiao Zhou didn't have so many worries, so they simply took out their sleeping bags and kettles from the tent, and the two lived in that house that day.

Captain Liu couldn't convince the two, so he had to go with them.

Early the next morning, the workers got up early to go to work, but when the roll call was called, Captain Liu found that Xiao Zhou and Xiao Liu did not come!

He thought that the two were sleeping lazily, and was very angry, so he took a few workers to find the two of them.

But when a few people came to the old mansion, they found that the house was empty, where was the shadow of Xiao Zhou and Xiao Liu?

Captain Liu was very puzzled, wondering if these two boys were angry because they quarreled with him yesterday, so they went back to the city early?

Seeing that the time for work had come, Captain Liu could only temporarily leave the two of them behind and be busy going to work.

Not long after going down to the river, a worker next to him suddenly screamed, and Captain Liu hurriedly walked over, but saw that the worker was pointing to the river not far away, trembling.

Captain Liu saw two "water drifters" floating in the center of the river dozens of meters away.

Captain Liu thought it was an animal like a dead cat and a dead dog, but when he commanded the workers to salvage it, he was shocked to find that the two "water drifters" turned out to be Xiao Zhou and Xiao Liu!

When Xiao Liu and Xiao Zhou were fished ashore, the two were already breathing, and Captain Liu couldn't believe the facts in front of him, so he desperately did cardiopulmonary resuscitation for the two, hoping to see a miracle.

That's what we saw when we just walked over.

"Master, you said that Xiao Liu and Xiao Zhou drowned in the river for no reason?"

After Captain Liu finished speaking, he asked me with red eyes.

"It's hard to say......"

I said in a deep voice: "But what is certain is that the drowning of the two should be related to the house they stayed in yesterday, so you can take us over to see it first." ”

"Good!"

Captain Liu answered, and then led us to the house we found yesterday.

At the same time, many villagers also heard that Wutang Daxian had come to help solve the evil spirit, so they ran out of their homes and walked with us along the west side of the tributary of the Heishui River.

After walking for about ten minutes, a barren forest appeared by the river, and there was indeed an old house hidden in the forest.

The door of the house had already collapsed, and I walked in behind Captain Liu, and as soon as I entered, I felt a chill in my face, and I couldn't help but clench the Martial King whip in my hand.

The house is a mixture of blue bricks, stone tiles, and wood, and the courtyard is overgrown with weeds and the walls are mottled and scattered, and it looks at least a few decades old.

The front of the courtyard is the living room, there are several wings on each side, and there are several stone lions carved on the eaves of the wings, which is quite magnificent.

"Master, Xiao Zhou and Xiao Liu spent the night here yesterday."

Captain Liu pointed to the location of the living room and said to me.

I nodded, and then walked into the living room with Lonnie and Bai Ze.

The room was empty and dark, except for the scorched black beams and walls, as if they had been burned by the fire.

I walked around the room, found nothing, and walked out, but for some reason, I always felt that something wasn't quite right.

It's as if there is a pair of eyes in the dark, staring at what I seem.

After walking around the other rooms, still finding nothing, I was not willing to find nothing, so I walked into the hall again.
