Chapter 403: The contractor has become a corpse collector
Ye Xiaomei was slightly startled: "Is there no way to save him?"
"Yes, he was foaming at the mouth when he was sent to the hospital."
Liu Zhihua strapped the motorcycle to his legs and patted the snow off his shoulders.
Marshal Niu stood there holding a broom, his face full of worry and his hands spread out: "I don't know either. Ten years ago, he only said his last name was Yuan. I don't even know his full name. He was a traveling Taoist priest, and I don't know where he was from."
After hearing this, Liu Zhihua was petrified. What the hell should he do?
"Don't know? What should I do? I can't just lead a construction team and be responsible for collecting corpses."
At this point, Liu Zhihua went crazy. He scratched his scalp several times, stamped his feet and cursed:
"What the hell did I do in my last life to be like this?"
After saying that, he put on his helmet, mounted his motorcycle, gritted his teeth, kicked the horn, and turned around and left.
As the motorcycle turned around, he seemed to have thought of something:
"By the way, where is that big toad? Did it run away?"
He was looking at Ye Xiaomei when he said this. Master Niu was so scared that his face looked like a dead person. The other so-called great god fell to the ground and couldn't get up because he knew everything. At that time, only Ye Xiaomei was relatively calm.
"Run away." Ye Xiaomei just said two words.
I don't know if Liu Zhihua was frightened by snakes or toads recently, and he was so angry that he looked like he had seen the murderer of his father:
"Damn it, I'm going to dig it to death this time. I don't believe I can't complete the project on time. I'm going to find some detonators from the mine and blow the hell out of it."
Puff, the exhaust of the motorcycle made a loud fart sound, and after a puff of smoke with a strong smell of diesel, Liu Zhihua disappeared in the vast snow.
Master Niu was petrified in the snow, clutching the broom tightly, muttering, "Is he really dead?"
Ye Xiaomei also couldn't understand. If this guy wasn't in a hurry, how could he not remember to protect the Black Toad Stone given his knowledge of it?
Could it be that this guy didn't know at first that the person buried was the Black Toad King?
Therefore, he had no idea that the black toad would grow so big in just ten years. So when he dug it out and saw clearly that it was the Black Toad King, he was so overjoyed that he completely lost his mind.
That's the only explanation.
Thinking of this, Ye Xiaomei asked:
"Master Niu, have you seen what the old man buried ten years ago? How big was it then?"
Marshal Niu was brought back to reality and murmured without thinking: "Hey, I thought it was a stone lump that brought good luck. It was about the size of a palm. I thought it was a toy that had been blessed. He even charged me several hundred yuan for it."
Ye Xiaomei said goodbye to Mr. Niu, and in the heavy snow, Ye Xiaomei called Tang Buci.
In the cold wind, my fingers holding the phone were almost frozen and numb, and my shoes stepping on the snow were so cold that they were numb to the bones.
After finally answering the phone, the other end had the same lazy vibe as the one who was enjoying the bliss of lying in the gentle Tang family residence:
"What's up, auntie? Happy New Year."
"Oh my god, I just saw the Black Toad King. He was very big, as big as the mouth of the glass jar that you use to store loose tea at home, and it was pitch black."
As soon as these words came out, Tang Bushi's voice suddenly rose: "Black Toad King? You mean, Black Toad also has a boss?"
“…”
Ye Xiaomei hasn't figured out how to answer this stupid question yet.
Tang Buci on the other end continued, "How come you can find black toads and white snakes everywhere, but I can't find any?"
Ye Xiaomei suddenly thought, it really is true, why?
Instantly, coupled with the biting cold wind, Ye Xiaomei's hairs stood up on her back, but then she thought about it and realized that this made no scientific sense:
"You stay in the house every day and never go out. Could it be that the Black Toad and the White Snake teamed up to look for you?"
This is what Ye Xiaomei believes to be the truth. Even if it is a maggot, it will not encounter hot shit if it does not care about its nest in one place. How can he have the nerve to say that:
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. I'm just asking if you want it. If you want it, bring your people here right away. A contractor has called the police. It would be a pity if the person is poached away. He even said he wanted to use a detonator to blow it up."
Tang Buci obviously didn't think twice: "Of course, wait, I'll take care of it."
Beep, beep, there's a busy tone.
In fact, what Ye Xiaomei thought was that it would be safest to find the Black Toad King and temporarily keep him in the Tang family residence, as the Tang family residence was big enough.
I will go to Changshou Village during next summer vacation and bring the Black Toad King with me.
But Ye Xiaomei knew Tang Buci too well. He would definitely not do anything that would not make money and would not benefit him, so she resorted to this desperate measure. If she had told him in advance that he would be sent back next year, there was no need to think too much about it. He would not even come if he only considered the gas money.
When I got home, it was already past dinner time.
Wang Lan, who rarely lost face, criticized Ye Xiaomei a few times:
"Xiao Mei, you are not afraid of what others say. Look at how often you have been home since you came back for the New Year. Every day you either visit your mother or run to the east end of the village. You don't even know what others say about you."
Ye Xiaomei went into the company room to find something to eat and asked, "What did you say about me?"
I thought to myself, I have nothing to do at home, and the child refuses to let me take him with me. If you want to take him with you, then go ahead. Why should I care about what others say about me wherever I go?
But as soon as she said this, Ye Xiaomei remembered what Master Niu said, and she smiled suddenly. She didn't know how outsiders evaluated her, but she was afraid that most of the comments were made by her mother-in-law herself.
Wang Lan looked at the room where the child was sleeping, turned around and locked it, then came back and added:
"What are they saying about you? They're saying you don't care about your family. What daughter-in-law would run away from home all day without eating? And she went to your mother's house to eat. Besides, what happened in the east end of the village made people say even worse things, saying you are some kind of monster."
Oh, it turns out you can’t save face.
Ye Xiaomei put the lid back on the pot because there was nothing in the pot except a few unwashed dishes:
"Isn't there any food here, Mom?"
Wang Lan stiffened her neck and said, "You are always not at home to eat and I don't know you are back, so I didn't cook for you."
Ye Xiaomei didn't want to say anything more. After all, she was Ma Qijun's biological mother, and she was a little fed up with the quarrels she had been experiencing in her family since she was a child.
As long as she didn't go too far and life could go on, Ye Xiaomei didn't bother to worry about it.
The new house will be completed in a few months, and the old couple will move back then. It happens that she also has to go to school, so she really doesn't have time to take care of the baby.
Thinking of this, Ye Xiaomei rolled up her sleeves and washed the dishes and pots, trying to see if there was anything she could do.
I found a few eggs in the rice jar, which is good. I made a rice paste and egg custard with some salt and white pepper. It is delicious.
Wang Lan, who was standing at the door, was stunned. She deliberately didn't leave any food for him and cooked it herself. What was incredible was that no matter what she said, she didn't get angry:
"It's the end of the year, and those eggs were saved for the New Year. What will we eat if you eat them all?"
Ye Xiaomei was just a little irritated and a little confused:
"Mom, you didn't prepare any New Year's goods?"
Wang Lan turned a long circle, and her intention was achieved. She leaned against the door sill and put her hands in her sleeves to keep warm:
"There is no spare money in the family to buy New Year's goods."
Ye Xiaomei was slightly stunned. She had just given her father-in-law two thousand yuan a few days ago. How could he be out of money?
But Ye Xiaomei knew Wang Lan too well. Thinking about the trouble she had gone through to prevent her from going to school, Ye Xiaomei didn't want to argue with her:
"It's fine if you don't want to do it. I won't let him come back for the military family leave. I'm going to the army to celebrate the New Year."
After hearing this, Wang Lan's eyes widened: "What did you say? Qijun is going home for the New Year this year?"
"Yes." As soon as Ye Xiaomei finished speaking, she suddenly heard a child crying anxiously, heart-wrenchingly, and it was obvious that something had happened.
