The young man Xiao Liu hurriedly followed, and the group leader took him to a relatively shady place, pointed to a stone and said, "You just sit here and play with your mobile phone, if someone checks it out." ”

Xiao Liu was stunned, he looked at the group leader suspiciously, and asked puzzledly: "But I'm here to work, why do I want to sit here and play with my phone?" ”

The team leader sighed and explained, "Hey, you don't understand the things on this construction site. Now that the top is strictly checked, we have to make a show. In fact, there is not much work to be done on this construction site, and the cement is all fake, just to cope with the inspection. You can sit here in peace and get paid. ”

Although Xiao Liu felt strange, he didn't say much when he thought that he was just a temporary worker.

He sat down on the rock, took out his phone, and started playing.

But the mobile phone lens has been swept over everyone all the time.

Time passed and the sun began to set in the west.

The construction site was still busy, but Xiao Liu felt as if he was in another world.

He looked at the busy workers, and his heart couldn't help but ripple.

Are they, like themselves, forced to get caught up in this absurd drama?

Suddenly, a noisy sound broke Xiao Liu's thoughts.

He looked up and saw a group of people walking towards the construction site.

They were wearing uniforms, hard hats, and looked like they were going to be checked.

Xiao Liu's heart tightened, he knew that his time had come.

He quickly stood up, dusted himself off, and walked over to the inspectors.

He tried to make himself look natural, but the nervousness in his heart was hard to hide.

However, when he approached the inspectors, he found that they had not noticed him.

They just walked casually around the construction site, occasionally talking to the workers.

Xiao Liu breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time felt an inexplicable loss.

He didn't know why he was so nervous, and he didn't know when this absurd drama would end.

He sat back down on the rock and continued to play with his phone.

But at this moment, he no longer has the calm and calm he used to be.

When night fell, the lights in the shed were dim, and the workers who had been tired all day came back to rest.

Xiao Liu found a corner spot to sit down, he looked around and found that the facilities in the shed were rudimentary, and the air was filled with the smell of sweat and earth.

He took out his phone and pretended to be browsing the web, but in fact he was secretly observing his surroundings.

At this moment, an older worker came up and sat down next to him.

Xiao Liu took the opportunity to talk to him and tried to inquire about the situation at the construction site.

"Big brother, why doesn't this construction site seem to be making any progress?" Xiao Liu asked tentatively.

The old worker glanced at him, sighed and said, "This construction site has long been unfinished. The boss has no money, the workers can't get paid, and everyone has no heart to work. ”

Xiao Liu was shocked, but he tried his best to remain calm and continued to ask, "Then why are there so many people working here?" ”

The old worker smiled and said helplessly: "These people are all messing around here. Although the construction site has not started, the boss still has to deal with the inspection above, so he has to find some people to pretend. In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that there is no hope for this construction site at all. ”

Xiao Liu sighed in his heart after hearing this, he didn't expect that there would be such an inside story on this construction site.

He thought for a moment and asked again: "Then big brother, you are working here, will the boss be in arrears of wages?" ”

The old worker shook his head and said, "There will be no arrears of wages, because there is no work to be done at all, so there is no talk of any wages or wages." It's just a place where people eat. ”

Xiao Liu's heart became even more uneasy after hearing this.

He thought about it for a while and decided to use the excuse of going to the toilet and by the way to take pictures of some construction sites as evidence.

He stood up and said to the old worker, "Big brother, I'll go to the toilet and I'll be back in a while." ”

The old worker nodded and said, "Go ahead, the toilet is over there, but it's a little far, you have to be careful." ”

Xiao Liu smiled and said, "Thank you, big brother, for reminding me." With that, he turned and walked out of the shed.

However, instead of going to the toilet, he went around to the other side of the construction site and began to take pictures of the construction site with his mobile phone.

He photographed the empty construction sites, as well as the dilapidated equipment and buildings.

However, just as he finished filming and put down his phone, someone suddenly rushed out from the shadows and grabbed his arm.

He was startled, and when he looked up, he saw several men staring at him.

"What are you kid doing?" One of the men asked viciously.

Xiao Liu's heart tightened, but he tried his best to stay calm and said, "I, I'm just here to work, I can't find a toilet......

"Part-time job?" The man sneered, "I don't think you look like it!" Say, who the hell are you? What are you doing here? ”

Xiao Liu panicked, but he knew that he couldn't show his feet, so he continued: "I'm really here to work, I don't believe you can ask the foreman......"

However, the other party clearly did not believe his words.

One of the men started searching him directly, trying to find his phone.

Xiao Liu's heart tightened, but he was prepared.

Before being searched, he had secretly hidden his phone in a corner on one side.

The man searched Xiao Liu's whole body, but did not find the mobile phone.

He looked at Xiao Liu with some confusion and asked, "Where's your phone?" ”

Xiao Liu was overjoyed, but he didn't show it.

He hurriedly said with a smiling face: "Oh, my phone is charging, I didn't bring it with me." ”

"Less nonsense!" The man interrupted him, "I think you are that Lu Chen!" Say, are you here to wreak havoc? ”

Xiao Liu was shocked, he didn't expect the other party to mistake himself for Lu Chen.

He hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, I'm really not Lu Chen, you recognized the wrong person......

However, the other party obviously did not believe his words, and one of the men directly punched him, and then several people surrounded him and punched and kicked him.

Xiao Liu was beaten and his nose was blue, his face was swollen, and his body was bruised, but he always gritted his teeth and did not say anything.

After fighting for a while, the other party seemed to be tired and stopped.

One of the men gasped and said, "Damn, this kid has a pretty hard mouth!" But he doesn't look like a good person. Forget it, leave him alone, I didn't find anything anyway. ”

Xiao Liu was lying on the ground, his clothes were ragged, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and he could barely make out his original appearance.

His breath was faint, as if it could be cut off at any moment.

The fierce men had gone, throwing him here like a worn-out rag doll.
