Chapter 393 The snake was taken away by Ye Xiaomei
——Did something really happen?
——What happened? Tell me quickly.
Li Dayun sighed: "On the third day, the foundation was almost dug, and we were ready to lay the stones for the foundation. Who knew that the foundation pit collapsed completely, and there were nests of newly born baby snakes inside.
At that time, the government ordered it to be burned. In the days that followed, there was basically one accident every day, ranging from minor injuries such as bumps and bleeding to the most serious one on the seventh day, when a crane fell and killed three people. "
——Wow, I think I heard my man mention this before, it’s pretty weird.
——Yeah, this, it gives me goosebumps all over my body.
Li Dayun smiled bitterly and said, "That's not the end. Later, the glass factory was finally built. From the time they started buying machines, employees in the factory kept getting injured on the job. Two people fell into the furnace and died. Finally, three factory directors died in accidents. The government couldn't send anyone else to take up the job, so the glass factory could no longer operate."
Zhao Mei gasped. Is it so scary? You know, the house where the three of them lived was spacious and comfortable. The lambs could even run around freely in the yard.
Zhao Mei opened her mouth and asked cautiously: "Then...what happened next?"
Li Dayun glanced at the kindhearted Sister Zhao and smiled, saying, "There was no later. It was just that when the incident happened, my master gave me a few words and then passed away."
——What did you tell me? Was it some method to ward off evil spirits?
——Yes, Foreman Li, please finish what you are saying. Look how anxious you are.
Li Dayun shook his head: "It means that I must abide by the tradition left by our ancestors and have a reverent heart towards all things in the world."
——Wow, that’s it.
——How can you respect the Dharma?
——Yes, does burning incense and worshiping Buddha count as reverence?
Li Dayun nodded: "As long as it's not for personal gain, it counts."
As he was talking, Liu Zhihua came over with two jugs of wine, smiling:
"Brother Li, have a drink."
Li Dayun took a look, glanced at it, patted his butt and said, "No more drinking. I'll take my brothers to work for a while before it gets dark."
Having said that, he got up and left without paying any attention to the young man.
The other brothers who followed Li Dayun quickly finished their meal and stood up to catch up.
Someone muttered, "Brother Li, I see this guy is here to ask you for help. Doesn't he not believe in this?"
——I think so too. I didn’t expect that such a big thing happened back then, but he didn’t get into any accidents.
Liu Zhihua's hands, holding two bottles of knife-burning liquor, paused in the air. He pulled the corners of his mouth awkwardly and gritted his teeth:
"Old Li, I didn't come here just to see you. There's no need to explain old things to your brothers so clearly."
Li Dayun suddenly stopped and said, "Xiao Chen, you lead everyone to start working first, I'll be here in a moment."
"Boss, take a break. We brothers are capable."
Li Dayun patted the young man who was speaking on the shoulder, nodded with satisfaction and walked back.
Liu Zhihua found a brick and sat down. He arranged the bricks one by one in front of him, forming a small square table:
"Sister Zhao, any leftovers will do. If not, the water used to wash the pot tastes salty."
"Look at what you said, how can you eat the pot water?" Zhao Mei quickly took out the leftovers from the pot and put them on the bricks: "We have almost eaten everything, you take care of the remaining ones, there is still a steamed bun, you can come earlier tomorrow."
"It's okay. I've eaten it before. Just use it as a side dish."
Zhao Mei didn't know Liu Zhihua. He looked to be less than 30 years old, with a square face. His appearance was not particularly outstanding, but he was good-looking. He was dressed neatly and did not look like a construction worker.
Li Dayun also picked up a brick and put it under his buttocks. He seemed to think that the height was not suitable, so he picked up two more bricks and stacked them up before sitting down:
"What's the matter?"
By this time the crowd had dispersed, the show had ended, and who would be willing to stand in the cold wind in the dead of winter and watch others eat?
Liu Zhihua pointed at Zhao Mei with his chopsticks. Zhao Mei saw that the pot was almost empty, and was bending over to scoop water and clean the pot. She didn't notice that she was called:
"I'm looking for her."
Li Dayun glanced at Sister Zhao. In his eyes, Sister Zhao was a rare good person. Her daughter was cultured and generous. If she were someone else, she would definitely not be willing to give orders:
"Why are you looking for her?"
"Her girl let go of the snake I caught." Liu Zhihua said as he put a mouthful of stir-fried bean curd with green bean sprouts into his mouth, then used the bowl as a wine glass to pour two bowls of wine, and gave one to Li Dayun.
Li Dayun suddenly squinted his eyes and stood there in a daze.
Liu Zhihua didn't look up: "Eat something and drink something to warm yourself up."
Li Dayun stared at Liu Zhihua as he picked up the bowl and took a big sip. His eyes never left Liu Zhihua. This kid was very cunning. Although he looked as if nothing had happened, he was the master he reported back then:
"I have met Sister Zhao's daughter. She is a gentle and timid person, and very educated. I don't think she is that brave."
Li Dayun was angry. His style was completely different from that of the traitor. He thought something would happen to teach him a lesson, especially after hearing about the White Snake. He thought this would make him more cautious. But it was obvious that he did not realize the seriousness of the matter.
Liu Zhihua sneered twice: "I remember Brother Li taught me that you can only know a person's face but not his heart. I admit it."
These words were indeed said by Li Dayun back then. Who could have known that this seemingly honest young man would do such a thing as betraying his master.
But when this sentence was applied to the current situation, Li Dayun felt a chill all over his body.
Liu Zhihua did not explain much, but said lightly: "The police station just responded, and the snake disappeared. Someone saw the snake following its daughter to the forest in the west mountain. The traces left by the snake's route have also been checked. I came here from the west specifically to ask..."
After Liu Zhihua finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Mei and said, "Sister Zhao, where does your daughter live?"
Li Dayun's pupils shrank. Did that girl really take the snake away?
Oh my god, she was taken away?
Master’s words before his death linger in my ears - you must respect the creatures of heaven and earth. They will never invade the human world on their own initiative. It is only because humans are afraid that they want to eliminate all creatures that may threaten them. That is committing sin and shortening your life, and you will reap what you sow. If you have learned the skills well, you can communicate with the creatures, and you can make them go away with just a stick of incense.
Zhao Mei finished cleaning the pot and stood up, and answered casually: "My daughter is married, so she should be at her husband's house. Why are you asking about my daughter?"
Zhao Mei hung the pot brush in the crack of the chimney bricks and lifted her apron to wipe her hands.
"Then which family is your daughter's in-laws?" Liu Zhihua lowered his head, picked up a bean sprout and put it into his mouth, took a big sip of wine, and smacked his lips refreshed.
"The Ma family in the east of the village." Zhao Mei said without thinking, and boasted: "My daughter is very sensible. She earns money while meeting needs. My son-in-law is also promising. I am relieved."
At this time, Ye Xiaomei was lying in the room, looking at the ceiling in a daze.
Shang Zhen, who was sleeping beside him, was also staring blankly at a certain place. Both of them had not recovered from what happened during the day.
Until, with a beep, the pendulum clock sounded, reminding us that it was ten o'clock in the evening.
Ye Xiaomei came back to her senses and murmured to herself: "Shang Zhen, I am more and more sure that I am the spirit of the snake. Do you know? When I led the snake to the river, it was reluctant to leave. Although it could not speak and could only spit out its tongue, I could hear its voice in my heart. It said..."
Shang Zhen was like a wooden man, moving the corners of his mouth: "What are you talking about?"
