Chapter 34: The Elephant
What the second uncle said is very reasonable, whether it is the Feng Shui Bureau or the strange arts, but most of the things that harm people are man-made.
If someone gains, someone will lose.
Darkly, it seems like a misplaced balance.
Thinking about this, I suddenly felt calm.
As for the people of Lubanmen, I am now on guard, so the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will cover it.
Eat when it's time to eat and make money when it's time to make money.
I found the cat bag, grabbed Huang Jiu on the tea table and stuffed it in, and followed the second uncle out.
He said that there was an accident on the construction site, and I thought that a coffin had been dug up or something in the car, but when I went to the construction site to find out, it was beyond my expectations and that my second uncle and I had expected.
The construction site is a foundation pit construction of a small community, the area is not small, it is a big project.
In order to meet the deadline, it has always been 24-hour shifts.
Everything was normal, but the night before yesterday, there was a safety accident, and a worker fell into the foundation pit and died.
Accidents on the construction site are basically private, so that the workers' families can get more compensation, and the construction party can avoid the investigation delaying the construction period.
So the bodies of the workers were parked in the shed, waiting for their families to claim them.
But just last night, the carcass of the worker was eaten by some animal, a hole was bitten open in the skull, and the brain marrow was sucked out.
The chest cavity was also opened, and the liver was gone.
If that's all it takes, it's a matter of adding some money to the construction party.
But in the early hours of this morning, when the workers were pumping water from the foundation pit, they saw a three-year-old child with a red body and a strange face stepping out of the water, grinning at the workers, looking very terrifying.
After scaring the workers, the strange little boy dived back into the water.
When the news spread, the workers said that it was the monster that ate the brains and livers of the corpses, and the people ran away with this bluff.
Chen Kai, the safety management director on the construction site, also had palpitations when he talked about it.
After speaking, he looked at the second uncle and said, "Mr. Zhang said that as long as this matter is solved, money is not a problem." ”
No, Chen Kai also hinted to the second uncle that it doesn't matter if the matter can be solved, the important thing is to make the workers believe that it's okay and are willing to come back to work.
My second uncle and I both understand his thoughts, but I think that if this matter is flickered over, I am afraid that someone will die.
Because according to Chen Kai's description, the crimson three-year-old child is very similar to a kind of monster elephant recorded in "Zhou Li".
It is a water beast that likes to eat the brains and livers of dead people.
It is precisely because of the existence of the elephant that all kinds of tomb beasts will be placed in the tombs in ancient times to drive away the elephants.
"Zhou Li" records the dragon elephant, and also records its nemesis, the mythical beast Fang Xiang.
Legend has it that Fang Xiang's clan had four golden eyes, wore red clothes and black trousers, rode a horse and held a ge, and went to the tomb to hit the four corners with Ge to expel the elephant.
Therefore, most of the tomb beasts in the ancient tomb were made according to the appearance of Fang Xiang's clan.
However, these legendary demon beasts and mythical beasts, even if they really appeared in ancient times, are now long extinct.
Otherwise, if you encounter a real elephant, the hundreds of people on this construction site will be long gone.
Chen Kai took us to stop at the door of the shed and asked my second uncle and I if we wanted to see the workers who were watching the incident.
I didn't wait for the second uncle to speak, so I preemptively said: "Don't look at the corpse, you take us to the foundation pit to have a look." ”
Listening to his description made me creepy, how dare I look at it.
Besides, I'm not a forensic doctor.
The construction site has been stopped, and all kinds of machinery and equipment are parked scattered in the potholed field, and the half-pierced steel cage is like a steel giant.
It can be seen that after the little boy appeared, the workers ran away as soon as they hula, and they didn't have time to clean up.
Approaching the foundation pit, Chen Kai was a little scared, and said embarrassedly that he would not go, let me and the second uncle go to see it ourselves.
I looked up at the sky, the sun was in full swing, so I walked with my second uncle towards the foundation pit where the accident occurred.
The foundation pit is about two meters in diameter, and the water in it has overflowed to the mouth of the cave, and there are three pumping machines next to it.
It's just that the water inside is muddy, and it's not an exaggeration to say that it's mud, and you can't see anything with the naked eye.
The second uncle knocked on the cat bag and asked Huang Jiudao, "Huang Xian, have you felt the breath of beasts?" ”
I went out of the same house as my second uncle, and he should have guessed everything I could think of.
Huang Jiu seemed to have just woken up, yawning and said, "No, if there was the breath of beasts, I would have come out to clean it up a long time ago!" ”
It is also not afraid to say big things and flash its tongue.
I opened my eyes and looked towards the pit.
However, the groundwater is too heavy and muddy and sticky, and my spiritual eye has not been practiced at home, and I can't see anything.
I told the second uncle about the situation, and he said: "It's noon soon, and the yang energy will weaken, go to eat first, and let Chen Kai call someone to drain the water after eating." ”
I ate the breakfast brought by Su Yimei in the morning, and I'm not very hungry at this time.
But I don't eat at all, and I seem to be a little sorry for the boss.
Moreover, the yang energy at noon is extremely strong and waning, and it is also the heaviest time of the day, no matter what is in the puddle, we had better stay away.
Back in the work shed area, the second uncle briefly talked to Chen Kai about the situation and mentioned the elephant.
I thought I needed to explain, but it turned out that Chen Kai was a college student and knew about it.
It's just that his round and round face became even more ugly after listening to it, and he asked the second uncle: "Master Li, do you think this matter can be solved in one day?" The engineering department was too tight, and with so much equipment stopped for a day, the loss was not small. ”
The second uncle didn't give a reply, but said: "It's not early, go to eat first, and after eating, you call someone to drain the water in the foundation pit, and then talk about it later." ”
When Chen Kai heard this, he felt that we couldn't determine the time, and he didn't hide it, so he said directly to the second uncle: "Master Li, you see that if this is not the case, I will call all the workers back, and when the time comes, you can fool them on your face, dispel their worries, and let them start work first, how about it?" ”
With what I know about the second uncle, I'm afraid he will agree.
However, the second uncle suddenly aggravated his tone, looked at Chen Kai and asked, "Is this what Mr. Zhang meant, or is it your own meaning?" ”
Chen Kai suddenly stood up.
Regardless of whether the workers live or die, they only think about the construction period......
I'm a little speechless.
However, there are many people like Chen Kai in this world, he relies on one mouth, and others break their legs.
And what I don't understand is that this kind of person is promoted quickly.
Seeing that Chen Kai didn't speak, the second uncle said again: "I was entrusted by Mr. Zhang, so naturally I want to solve the matter completely after clarifying it." And if you know the elephant, you should know that if this thing is not handled properly, I am afraid that more people will die. ”
Chen Kai smiled and said, "What Master Li said is, then let's go to dinner first." ”
I can see that Chen Kai is not afraid of another accident at the construction site, but afraid that the second uncle will be familiar with Mr. Zhang and sue him.
