Chapter 27

All the workers around him came out from his hometown to discuss life with him. The price of this business has already been negotiated, and there is a young man who is waiting for the money to go back to propose a marriage.If it was just him who encountered this incident, then forget it. As long as no accident happens, the most important thing is to finish the work as soon as possible.

The contractor suppressed his hand, stood up without saying a word, took out the toiletries from the bag, and went outside to wash.

The contractor still supervised the work as usual, and sometimes worked with them with a hammer, but he talked a lot less.

Someone ran on Brother Guo, saying that he shouldn't admit that he didn't sleep with the contractor, you see, it hurt his heart!A few people around laughed loudly, and the contractor was sawing the wood, but he didn't seem to hear a word.

Work was stopped at [-]:[-] p.m. After working all day during the day, everyone was sweating, and one of them started to go to the pond to take a bath, and the others responded.A Le didn't work, and sat quietly on a bamboo chair outside the door for a whole day. The contractor didn't dare to leave him in this house alone after what happened at night, so he took him with him.

The others got into the water, and Ah Le sat alone under the willow tree on the bank, not knowing what he was looking at.The contractor rubbed the mud on his body, and looked at it from time to time, so as not to let the child drown in the water. He had a hunch that the child would not even scream if he fell into the water.

Suddenly he saw A Le standing up, looking up at the big willow tree, and the contractor stopped his hands to see what he was doing.Ale stared blankly at the soft branches swaying in the wind above his head, and suddenly spotted one, stretched out his hand and folded it off.

When he got what he wanted, he squatted down again, holding the willow branch in his hand, and stared at the ground without moving.

The contractor looked in that direction and slowly rubbed his neck with his hands. The workers came ashore one after another, and he also hurriedly rubbed it twice and climbed up.

Ale held the willow branches all the way, with his arms hanging naturally on both sides, and the willow branches swayed with his footsteps.Someone wanted to tease him, and pretended to reach out to grab it, but the contractor gave him a stare and pushed him away.Ale doesn't care about the outside world, looking straight ahead, every step is smooth and steady.

Before going to bed at night, the contractor went ahead to release the urine, covered his head with his clothes, and slept until dawn.The next morning, he felt relieved, thinking that it was indeed a dream. The thing Ah Le rubbed off his face might have been squeezed out by the mosquito that was killed just after he was full of blood.

The project lasted for more than a month. During this period, the homeowner came to visit twice and brought two watermelons. Each time, he put down the watermelons and looked around before leaving.Although Ah Le is a freelancer, but fortunately, no one else has any objections. Every few days the big guys go to the pond to take a bath, and when they return together, they can see him coming back with willow branches.

Until one day, A Bin, who was repairing the window on the second floor, suddenly fell down.

Fortunately, there was a plastic shed for shelter from the rain under it, and there was no serious injury, only scratches.The contractor turned pale with fright, rushed to the innermost part of the crowd, and said to A Bin who had finally regained his composure: "Why are you so careless? I always tell you that safety comes first! Why don't you pay attention!"

A Bin looked aggrieved: "I'm careful, I'm afraid I'll fall off, and I tied my feet with a rope!" He pointed to his ankle with his hand, and sure enough, there was a noose on his right foot. Cut the rope at one section.He said, "I'm a hundred careful. I'm still waiting to go back and marry a wife. Who will marry me if I have no arms or legs? Obviously..."

He hesitated for a moment and said nothing.

For some reason, the contractor guessed that the words he swallowed were "someone pushed me".He remembered what happened on the first night, but he didn't dare to say it, he waved his hand and said: "Let's go, keep working, be more vigilant, I will take you out, and I have to take you all back with you! Sun Guo, come and help A Bin to rest in the hall."

The second person to have an accident was Brother Guo.

It was near dusk that day, and it seemed to be raining outside, and the sky was very gloomy.He passed by a piece of waste wood that had just been dismantled and leaned against the wall, but he tripped over something. Those wooden sticks and boards with thick arms suddenly fell down, and some of them gave him a blow. Ah Le suddenly jumped up, moved to this side at an alarming speed, and blocked a few with his hand.Brother Guo was knocked dizzy, although he didn't see any redness, but when he stretched out his hand, he felt a bump in his head.

Only then did he see clearly that there were dozens of middle-finger-long iron nails on the pieces of waste wood that Ale blocked.Brother Guo was frightened into a cold sweat at that time, hurriedly rubbed back on the ground, and retreated to a safe area.Many people around have seen it, there is nothing under Guo Ge's feet, he was tripped out of thin air!

Ale let go, walked into the nearest room, and closed the window regardless of the other people who were painting Dabai, took out a wooden wedge from his trouser pocket and inserted it into the bolt.

All the workers stopped, first to see what the foreman meant, and seeing that the foreman didn't respond, they didn't make a sound, watched him walk from one room to another, closed all the windows, and finally walked away. Go downstairs and close the door.

After all the doors and windows were closed, the room became obviously darker. I wonder if it was a psychological effect, and even the temperature in the room dropped a lot.

The contractor still held a trowel in his hand. He swallowed nervously, and stood close to the wall with the trowel tightly.

Ale walked to the place where he usually slept, lifted the straw mat, and took out a handful of thin willow branches from underneath.The willow branch seems to be the same one that was broken off when it first arrived. After such a long time, it has not been dehydrated and is still resilient. It seems that the leaves are still new green, but they have been pressed into a mess.

He held the willow branch and looked around. The workers were already working everywhere and stood scattered, but when his eyes swept over them, they couldn't help but hug each other close to each other. Only by touching each other can they feel a little safe. .

Immediately, Ah Le's eyes froze, he looked at a corner, and took a step forward, but immediately, his eyes moved away as if following something running, he no longer moved towards that corner, but instead Holding the bundle of willow branches in his hand, he rushed towards the contractor.

The contractor was stunned for a moment, and the edge of the trowel in his hand was pointed forward and remained motionless.I saw Ah Le whipping his whip down, and the sound of the willow branches being pulled out in the air was very powerful.

He was hit by a willow branch right in front of him, a scream came out of nowhere, and then a gray figure faintly appeared in the open space!The contractor was so frightened that he pushed aside another older worker.

Everyone in the room was dumbfounded, watching Ale hold the bundle of willow branches and beat the figure from upstairs to downstairs, and then from downstairs to upstairs, screaming endlessly.

The older worker was called Lao Cui, and he was the only foreigner in the team, the other being A Le.He suddenly said: "I'll tell you this thing straight. It's called willow sticks to fight ghosts, and it's an inch smaller!"

The contractor looked at him for a few seconds, then raised his hand and slapped him on the back of the head: "You go straight? Why don't you go straight?"

Old Cui said with a bitter face, "Then you didn't tell us that there are ghosts."

Brother Guo stepped forward: "Ale! You are tired from beating, brother will fight for you!" He rushed forward and took the wicker bundle from Ale's hand.When he got it, he found a problem. When Ah Le was beating, everyone saw that ghost being beaten, but in fact he couldn't see where the ghost was!

"Ale, point me in the right direction." Brother Guo said with a fluke in his heart. Although we all know that Ale doesn't pay attention to people, maybe he is in a better mood now that he is active and really talks.

But A Le ignored him, he still saw where the ghost was.

Now the willow bundle is in Guoge's hand, and the wholehearted resentment of the ghost who was chased and beaten is on the person holding the wicker bundle, and it manifests itself less than five centimeters away from Guoge.

A black and blue face was smashed to pieces, the lower jaw seemed to be thrown to the side, barely hanging on the face, the iron nail obliquely piercing through the brain exposed a sharp end from the eye socket, and the half-dried blood became viscous , Drop by drop hit the ground.

Brother Guo subconsciously looked down at the ground, but there was nothing there. He looked up at the face again, and twitched it with a "crack".

When Brother Guo woke up, the contractor was arguing with the owner outside. He was not tall, but he quarreled with amazing momentum. The whole scene seemed to be that he unilaterally suppressed the other party and scolded him.

The owner of the house looked like an ordinary honest man with a distressed expression on his face, but the contractor couldn't figure out how he could call others to die so viciously!

A few years ago, a fugitive got into the village and broke into this house. He threatened the owner's family not to tell anyone, otherwise he would kill the owner's family.

The owner of the house was afraid, so he went to live in his wife's natal house with an excuse, and really didn't tell anyone.

There were a few children nearby who were fond of making trouble. They threw stones at the windows in the middle of the night and knocked on the door as a prank. They were caught by the fugitive and chopped into pieces.In just two days, three children were arrested. The parents of the first child reported to the police when they saw that the child had not returned for two days.

The fugitive climbed up to the window on the second floor, which was not very high, and he made up his mind to jump down from here to escape.But in such a strange moment, his foot slipped, and he waved his hand a few times indiscriminately, but he didn't grab anything.

When landing, land on the side face first.The place where it fell was thrown by someone who threw the wooden stick. There was a long rusty iron nail embedded in one end, which pierced obliquely from the temple and protruded from the eye socket.After the police closed the case, the house returned to its original owner, but strange things always happened, and no one dared to stay at night, so it was abandoned for several years.

Although the house is not new, it is still a small building. The owner was reluctant to abandon it, and decided to find someone to renovate the house. If the workers can survive safely, then he can continue to live in the house.

Neighbors and folks in the whole village knew that this was a well-known haunted house, and no one dared to take on the job. Finally, they found a contractor, and after raising the price a little, he happily came.

The more the contractor thought about it, the more angry he became, and he swung the hammer in his hand: "Go, I don't want all the wages from you, just settle the money according to the date, and we will leave immediately!"

Brother Guo didn't bother to listen to what the owner said outside. He looked at A Le who was sitting by the bed, and suddenly said a word: "Could you be a fairy?"

I don't know how the contractor negotiated with the owner, but they didn't make it anyway.Two months later, the project was completed, and the money I received when I was paid was half as much as agreed.

A Bin got the most, and the contractor sighed: "A Bin is a person who is going to marry a wife, so he should get more. It's my brother who didn't remind you earlier... I'm sorry."

Brother Guo saw that the foreman was still holding a small stack in his hand, and thought that he was also the one who had been attacked, so he couldn't help reaching out to pick it up, but the foreman turned his hand and handed the money to A Le: "A Le He is the savior of all of us, and he should have his share of the money." A Le didn't answer it, so he put it back in his pocket, "I'll keep it for you temporarily, and I will keep everything you need in the future. Pay."

Brother Guo: "..."

Ah Le was staring at the toffee in the sugar bowl of the canteen on the street, and suddenly reached out to take it in his hand, took it and left.The owner of the commissary didn't chase after him, he just stared at the contractor, he heard what he said just now.The contractor took out the money again with a pained face, and paid for the candy.

Since then, A Le has been following the construction team. He has seen the construction team gradually grow. For more than ten years, the workers in the team have come and gone, but there are always a few people who are always there.

The contractor treats A Le as his own younger brother, but suddenly a person appears who says he is A Le's younger brother, which makes him extremely conflicted. What, but that is his senior brother after all.But on the other hand, as far as the contractor himself is concerned, the people who are sincerely regarded as relatives will suddenly be recognized by others, no one can accept it all at once, right?

Gu Su looked at Brother Guo: "What do you mean by what you said on the phone?"

He didn't know whether it was tension or anger that accumulated in his heart, but it made people tense. He held Di Chi's hand and said softly: "Senior brother."

Di Xi still just looked at him and smiled, this unsatisfactory response was shocking in the eyes of the contractor, he kept silent, but he had completely believed Gu Su's words in his heart.

Brother Guo didn't know why the contractor had come forward, why he still had business here, he let out an ah, and suddenly understood, his face was filled with anger: "Ale ran out at night a few weeks ago. I didn't pay attention to the work for a while, and when he came back, his clothes...the clothes were in disarray, and he was torn by someone at first glance! There was blood on his body..."

When he said this, a tall and thick man choked up, his eyes were red.

The contractor kicked him over: "Don't talk nonsense! The blood wasn't his. Ah Le is fine, he wasn't injured, and he wasn't...then what!" He looked at Gu Su and said hastily, "Ah Le just met him. Bad guy, I don’t see any wounds on his body, maybe he came back after beating the bad guy.”

Anyone who says this kind of thing is very offensive, not to mention that Ale is still a man, so if he said this kind of thing in such a vague way, it is not clear whether he should say it to Ale's junior brother.

After listening to what they said, the murderous intent brewing in Gu Su's heart dissipated little by little. The snake demon who was still lying in the morgue of the Ministry of National Defense was still in front of him. He stared at Di Chie for a long time without speaking.

The senior brother is really a brave man, only... only the master hurt him so far...

The little luck left in Gu Su's heart was broken by Di Chi's current situation. Back then, he could guess that his senior brother ran away from home, but old man Zhou's words had clearly told him that his master was there at that time, and he even watched the king of reincarnation turn his senior brother into a man. into this.

He had to go back, he was going back to Rong Town with his brother.

Gu Su said: "It's too late today, so I won't bother you any more. I'll take my brother back first. I'll visit again tomorrow morning."

The contractor also has his own plans, and now that Ah... Di Chai's younger brother has appeared, there are indeed some things that need time to prepare.

Gu Su led Di Chi back home, and the workers dispersed. The contractor went back to his rented house, listening to the various sounds through the thin walls, snoring, farting, and being woken up. At that time, he was slumped into a lump of mud and paralyzed on the bed, but after such a mess, he couldn't fall asleep anymore, and lay on the bed with his eyes open until dawn.

Gu Su called the Fu family at six o'clock in the morning to ask for leave, and it was Aunt Qiong who answered the call. He only said that it was something urgent and planned to explain it in person later.

Aunt Qiong hung up the phone, walked upstairs, stopped gently in front of Fu Zongming's door, leaned over to listen, but there was no sound inside, she turned around to leave, but heard Fu Zongming asking in the room: "Who called just now?" ?”

Aunt Qiong turned back and opened the door: "It's Xiao Su, he said he was in a hurry and couldn't come today."

Fu Zongming had already changed his clothes and sat at the table, with his head slightly lowered, not knowing what he was doing.He seemed to be asking Aunt Qiong, but no one seemed to ask: "Is it because I can't come today, or will I never come again?"

He looked towards the door, and Aunt Qiong also saw clearly what was in his hand - a bronze sword that could only be seen on TV or in museums. Fu Zongming was wiping the sword with a white handkerchief, as if he cherished it extremely.

He noticed Aunt Qiong's gaze, covered the bronze sword, and raised an index finger: "Shh - this is our secret."

Aunt Qiong froze for a moment, then nodded with her lips tightly shut, and exited the room, closing the door behind her.

She walked softly downstairs, as if nothing had happened, as she had done at all such moments.
