Chapter 48 Checking the Terrain
"Is Wenjie awake? I brought him breakfast."
The two of them were silent, and it was unknown how much time had passed before Jin Yun raised the question.
Dong Jing had her back to me, just blocking Jin Yun's view.
I could only see Dong Jing shaking her head. She smiled awkwardly: "You're not awake yet. Have you eaten? I made breakfast."
"Well... well, let's eat together. I have to go back to school soon."
When I heard Jin Yun coming into the room, I pretended to stretch and then sat up from the sofa.
"Why did you get up so early?" I pretended I knew nothing and stood up to wash up.
Passing by Jin Yun, he looked into her eyes.
There was joy in her eyes, perhaps because I slept in the living room.
I admit that sometimes I am a straight man, but maybe I just don’t want to face it.
This kind of messy relationship is troublesome to deal with and a waste of time.
After washing up, I sat down and started to eat breakfast.
I have to say that the fried noodles made by Dongjing are delicious. Jinyun also brought some dumpling soup, which I also like very much.
"Why is Dong Jing here too? Do you have any mission?" Jin Yun looked at Dong Jing and the two began chatting.
I'm not sure if this was really a chat, it sounded more like testing each other.
"Didn't I tell you yesterday that we were going to Tugouzi Village tonight?"
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I answered before Dong Jing.
While waiting for my cousin to come back, I always felt that the way these two people got along was a little strange.
After finally waiting for him, we packed up and prepared to leave.
My cousin was driving and passed by Jinyun's university and dropped her off.
We drove all the way to Tugouzi Village.
When we arrived at Tugou's village, it was already past four in the afternoon.
It's winter now, and the sun is only an hour away from setting.
We must familiarize ourselves with the terrain within this hour.
This can help us. If any emergency occurs during the house cleaning process, we will have a way to escape from here as soon as possible.
Those burly men had been waiting there for a long time. Hu Yue was their leader. When he saw me following him, he was a little surprised.
"Don't you want to take on any work?"
I smiled and said, "The main reason why I came here to study is because of my uncle. What's the matter, Boss Hu? You don't mean to diswelcome me, do you?"
When Hu Yue heard what I said, he smiled and said, "Look, you are not saying that. If you are willing to come and help, I would be more than happy to help you. Our place is quite complicated. I am really grateful that your entire team has come here."
"Please come this way. I'll take you to eat something first. When do we start working? You decide. We won't rush you."
Although Hu Yue is a stocky guy, he is also very easy to talk to, which is totally inconsistent with his ferocious appearance.
"Let's go inside the school first and talk about eating later."
Hu Yue immediately responded to my cousin's words and took us into the school to check the terrain.
Although the school is a bit shabby, we didn't find anything wrong with it.
The school gate faces the road, which makes it convenient for students to go to and from school.
In the village, parents usually pick up their children by electric vehicles, and there are no buses on the road, so there won't be any accidents.
We walked into the gate, and there was a flag-raising platform facing us. There was a large playground next to it, and there was a staircase on the side of the playground, which should lead to each floor.
But it was strange that we were clearly standing on flat ground, but the stairs went not only up but also down.
That proves that there must be a secret room or something under this school.
But this doesn’t mean anything, after all, some confidential things like test papers in school are kept in the basement.
Doing this can prevent classmates from secretly looking at the test paper.
"What did you say would happen once construction started?" My cousin frowned as he looked at the terrain here.
Hu Yue heard this and immediately replied, "We invited an engineer to measure the foundation here a month ago. If there is no problem, we will raze the entire teaching building to the ground and rebuild it. After all, this place is too dilapidated, and we are also afraid that something unexpected will happen if we receive students in the future."
A month ago?
If I remember correctly, Jin Yun told us that she had attended the auction a few days ago.
"When did you get the title deed to this school?" I asked.
When Hu Yue heard my question, cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead.
“No… Oops!”
He originally wanted to explain to us, but in his haste he said the wrong thing and immediately slapped his own mouth.
I was watching from the side, a little surprised.
Why did they start fighting for no reason?
"Here's what's going on. Listen to me."
Hu Yue was trembling with fear. After he sent away the other burly men around him, he slowly told us what had happened.
The original owner of this school had already announced that he wanted to sell the school.
Hu Yue's boss was determined to acquire this school, so he invited engineers a month ago to see how the school could be renovated.
This is a matter of money, and Hu Yue's boss doesn't care at all.
This is the only piece of land that matters to him.
"As soon as the engineering team entered the school, they started measuring. It was sunny when I brought them in, but after a while, the weather started to change. Natural things are unpredictable, of course I understand that, but I didn't take it seriously at the time."
"But two or three times in a row, whenever someone entered this school and tried to reform it, strange things started to happen."
Even though Hu Yue was a fat and big-eared man, he was scared.
It is said that after they got the energy from the ground two days ago, they started construction. As soon as they found someone to dig up the floor, blood began to seep out of the ground .
In order to meet deadlines, they would work here in the middle of the night.
There is no one working in the school now, simply because something strange has happened again.
"After there was blood on the ground, I asked them to stop working. Today I came to check again, but found that there was no blood at all. This is totally incomprehensible to me. I thought you would be here soon, so I simply asked them to give them a holiday and wait for you to come and see what happened."
Listening to Hu Yue's words, my mind started to work rapidly.
What's happening here?
Could it be that I have entered a fantasy world like I did before?
But that shouldn’t be the case. If one enters a fantasy world, one is usually alone.
It's impossible that everyone here saw blood, and when I looked over, the ground of the entire playground was flat, with no signs of being broken.
What on earth happened .
