Chapter 50 Zhuangzi Has a Secret
I don’t know how long it took before my cousin responded .
He nodded: "This way, all five villages can be connected together. The Feng Shui you mentioned can break their original predicament. In this way, the outside of the stone can be regarded as the real sea, and it can also be regarded as the end of their village."
My cousin added, patting my shoulder: " You have made progress recently, keep it up."
I know what he means.
Although my cousin has learned Feng Shui very well, he also handles other things very well.
But he once told me that he hoped both of us could make rapid progress.
In this way, we will have the opportunity to sweep higher-end houses and earn more money.
Time slowly passed until eleven o'clock. Many villagers heard that there would be a party tonight and rushed towards us.
Although they usually work from sunrise to sunset, this kind of activity is rare in the village, and their work is just heavy work that can be adjusted freely.
The villagers brought a lot of things, mostly wine they brewed themselves.
They have respect for the engineering team because the left-behind children have nowhere to go in this village. Some of them have not learned any knowledge until they are 15 or 16 years old, and go directly to the city to do the hardest and most tiring work.
If someone built a school here, then there would be hope for those left-behind children.
The villagers also welcomed the three of us, and under the care of the engineering team.
"Are you here to help with the school's feng shui?"
A fair-skinned boy sat next to me.
He is about the same age as me, and we get along quite well when we chat.
Although I also grew up in the village, our village is not that remote, so naturally I have more experience than him.
The boy's name is Zhang Xiaotao, and he looks quite smart.
However, because he had not learned much knowledge since childhood, he did not want to go out to the city to work hard, so he stayed at home to take care of his grandparents.
I nodded.
Zhang Xiaotao looked at me with a look that instantly raised his level: "Wow, you're amazing. You're almost my age, but you know so much. Your line of work must be very profitable, right?"
I didn't know how to answer for a moment, so I could only smile and shake my head.
"But don't blame me for not warning you. That place is very evil. Just take a look and don't do anything."
When I heard him say that, I became interested: "What do you mean?"
"Someone had his eye on this piece of land a few years ago. He wanted to build a factory here. Firstly, it would be convenient for us left-behind children who had grown up without much education, and secondly, our wages would be cheaper than those outside. But after he rented this piece of land, strange things happened one after another."
I don’t know if Zhang Xiaotao was drunk, but his face was very red and he kept pouring the wine in his hand into his mouth.
But his thinking was very clear and his words were very logical, so I decided to give him some questions to guide him and let him tell me more.
"What's strange?" I asked pretending to be gossipy.
"I heard that they were going to move the machines to the school that day, because the boss didn't want to spend too much money to renovate the school, so he asked a few workers to pile the desks and chairs into a classroom. The empty playground was then installed with a few simple iron sheets, and it was like a factory. But when they were installing the iron sheet, the hard iron sheet suddenly broke and fell directly from the upper floor, crushing three people to death. Not only that, four or five people nearby were also scratched by the iron sheet."
I felt a chill down my spine as I listened to what Zhang Xiaotao said.
Although this was somewhat unexpected.
Since it is an accident, it is something that was unexpected, and naturally no one would be mentally prepared.
Zhang Xiaotao said that later all those who were scratched by the iron pieces had to have their limbs amputated because of tetanus.
The boss was also scratched by the iron piece, but it hit his aorta and he died in a pool of blood on the spot.
The three people who were crushed to death by the iron sheet were also crushed into meat paste due to the weight of the iron sheet, and in the end even their heads could not be found.
The more Zhang Xiaotao said this, the more bizarre it seemed to me.
The wind was very cold in the middle of the night. When it blew, I felt like I was sieving chaff and couldn't help shivering.
"Four people died in that accident. Every year since then, one person from the village would be found dead in the school."
I didn't quite understand, so I asked, "But the school is already deserted, why would anyone go there? And how did they die so suddenly?"
"No one really knows. Anyway, there is always a family that suddenly shouts that someone in their family is missing. After searching for several days without any results, they finally find the person in the school. By the time they find the body, it's already cold, let alone saving it."
What does it mean?
Is there some evil creature in the school looking for someone to prolong his life?
But that shouldn't be the case. As far as I know, no accidents happened before this school was abandoned.
"There weren't any accidents in this school before, right?" I thought for a moment, and then added, "Before he abandoned it."
Zhang Xiaotao shook his head. "The school has been abandoned for nearly 20 years. That was when I was very young, so I don't remember it. But I grew up here, and I haven't heard of any The most recent thing I heard about was the factory director's story."
"Tao'er!"
We were still talking about school when suddenly a boy's voice shouted, which scared both Zhang Xiaotao and me.
We all know in our hearts that one of these things should not be asked about, and the other should not be told to others.
Coming towards us was a tall man.
He is Zhang Xiaotao's good friend, Zhao Zihao.
"Be careful when you say these things. There are a lot of people listening nearby. If possible, speak as quietly as possible." Zhao Zihao walked to our side and said in our ears while handing me the wine.
"Come with me, let's go over there. Adults don't like to go there. They think it's spooky."
Zhao Zihao pointed his chin at the willow tree not far away. The willow tree was indeed an evil thing. Generally, the older generation in rural areas were unwilling to stay under a willow tree.
Zhao Zihao said this after we got there.
"Tao'er's grandmother doesn't like to gossip, so there are some things he doesn't know. I'm a few years older than him, so I did hear some of it."
Zhao Zihao lowered his voice and told us: "I heard from the older generation that one person dies in the village every year because someone in the school is looking for a scapegoat."
What?!
