Chapter 11 Chapter 11 Who should I ask to look at the Feng Shui?
Lin Lang sighed helplessly: "It's not that. It's the smell of a dead person in the soil. I can still tell the difference between a rotting corpse and feces."
Compared to the odor of a corpse, the smell of feces is obviously much more smelly. The odor of a corpse is a smell that is difficult to cover up and eliminate. You can only wait for it to slowly disappear on its own, so there is a description that "even a dead body doesn't smell as bad as this."
Most people have only smelled the smell of rotting meat, so even if there was a smell in the garden, the servants would think it was a problem with the fertilizer used by Mr. Ding and his wife, rather than the soil itself smelling like a corpse.
Su Yun walked over quickly and looked at the two kinds of soil separated by Lin Lang. The colors were indeed a little different. She looked directly at the servants and asked, "Did Uncle Ding and his men bring this soil in separately?"
The servants looked at each other, and then an older maid stood up and said, "All of them. The soil in the garden here is not fertile, so the master and his wife cultivated some of it themselves. Some guests heard that they liked to grow plants, so they sent some over. We have never bought them specifically before."
In other words, except for the soil that Uncle Ding and his wife made themselves, the rest was given to them by others. It is really hard to guard against. Who would think that the soil given by guests would be mixed with something else?
Ding Yihua understood that the problem was with the soil, so he quickly asked, "Since we know it's the soil that's the problem, can we cure my dad's illness by replacing all the soil?"
"In theory, yes. Wasn't your father in the past year going to the hospital for treatment, but then returning home for a while and becoming unhealthy again? In fact, it is the influence of the soil, but only in theory." Su Yun stood up and answered while thinking about whether there was a more convenient way to solve the problem.
"What do you mean? Can't we just remove the dirt?" Ding Yihua was almost confused. Su Yun didn't say anything definite along the way. It was unclear whether he was unsure or if they in this line of work just liked riddlers.
Seeing that Ding Yihua was really anxious, Su Yun explained, "Because no one in your family had an accident except your father, right? But this garden itself is not only taken care of by your father, even the servants have also taken care of it for a long time, why are they fine?"
The servants nodded as they listened. They didn't know the problem before and thought it was Uncle Ding's own poor health. Now that they have determined that it is the soil that is causing the problem, the next question comes up - why is only Uncle Ding affected? Is there something special that they don't know about?
Ding Yihua held his head and took a deep breath: "What should we do now? Should we find the person who sent the soil first?"
Hearing this, Su Yun lowered his head, took out his phone, checked the time, and said, "Just ask the housekeeper. He must know who sent the soil here. My staff should be back tomorrow. Treat your father first, and then he should not come back to live here in the near future. See if there is any other place to live in your house, and let my staff determine whether you can live there."
This kind of thing cannot be rushed. Ding Yihua was so anxious because he had to leave on Wednesday. However, he was relieved when he heard that Su Yun's employees could come back to treat his father. As long as his father woke up, he could go to the grassroots with peace of mind.
Su Yun and Lin Lang did not leave tonight and stayed at the Ding family to rest. As the soil in the garden would not affect other people, they kept it for the time being. When daybreak, they would hire a special gardener to deal with and renovate the entire garden.
Su Yun and Lin Lang could sleep well no matter where they were. After a good sleep, they woke up the next day and saw that Ding Yihua had dark circles under his eyes so big that he could play a zombie.
"What's wrong with you? You didn't sleep all night?" Su Yun asked in surprise.
Ding Yihua rubbed his eyes and replied with all his strength: "I took care of my dad during the day and rushed to write documents at night. I almost didn't sleep all night. It's okay. It will only be these two days. I will be fine when I get to the grassroots."
Su Yun immediately laughed sarcastically: "You are too naive. Have you ever been to the real grassroots? In the mountains? You never know what kind of people you will meet, male or female. If you go to the grassroots, unless someone really protects you, do you think you can come back without losing a lot of skin?"
Going to the grassroots level is a quick way to gild yourself. You just need to do some good things to prove your ability. But in most cases, doing good things does not mean change. What is more important is to save your life. Only when your life is saved will you have the opportunity to talk about other things.
Ding Yihua has indeed not been to the grassroots level. Since he joined the government, he has only been to some towns in Bincheng. He feels that the development is still quite good. Although there are a lot of news about various mountains on the Internet, those things do not happen around them, so they really don't feel real.
"From what you said, you have seen him?" Ding Yihua was curious. He had never heard that Su Yun had been to the countryside.
Su Yun shook his head. "It's not that I've seen them. It's my parents, the biological couple. They've traveled a lot and have seen a lot of... things they can't do anything about. When I was sick before, they used these stories to coax me to sleep when they were taking care of me. There are no laws or rules in the mountains, only traditions and primitive yuwang. You have to be mentally prepared."
Although Ding Yihua thought it was childish for Su Yun to be coaxed to sleep by his parents at such an age, he did take Su Yun's reminder to heart and said he would be careful.
I had breakfast at Ding's house. Ding Yixia didn't come back because she was very busy and had her own place to live. On weekends when she didn't have classes, she would go to the company to look at the backlog of documents. When she had free time, she would listen to the tutor's lessons to avoid falling behind in her normal courses.
Su Yun calculated the time and called the master chef to ask where they were. It took them about the same time as Cheng Haixiang to make a round trip. They had already entered Bincheng and could go back to the funeral home after getting off the highway.
The funeral home is quite far from the military hospital, so Su Yun simply told them not to get off the highway and go directly to the military hospital to meet up. The first and second chefs didn't understand, but didn't ask much, as they had to avoid being too distracted on the highway.
As soon as the notification was made, Su Yun and Ding Yihua also set off.
The hospital said that Uncle Ding is in good condition today and was able to wake up in the morning and eat some liquid food.
Su Yun and her group were the first to arrive at the hospital. She and Lin Lang waited outside. Ding Yihua went in first to say hello to his father.
Ding Yihua's father was called Ding He. He was one of the first people to go into business. After he made money, he has been up and down in the business world and has accumulated quite a fortune over the years. However, this kind of family that has risen to prominence by standing on the cusp of the trend has no connections behind it. Just having money means you have to please people everywhere. Since childhood, Su Yun remembered that Ding He always looked kind and generous.
Occasionally when he attended a banquet, he would bend down and ask the children running around if they wanted anything to eat, and would help them take it down from the high table.
Some naughty young masters and young ladies would laugh at him and ask him if he was a servant, otherwise why would he help them get things?
The innocence of children is the most cruel, but Ding He always just smiled and let it go. He was a very good adult. When Su Yun occasionally passed by, she would ask him to help share a small cup of lemon juice. Ding He asked her why she did that, and Su Yun said that the cups at the party were for adults, but she was tired of holding them.
Ding He did not expose her because he knew she meant well. Su Yun's behavior was strange and her affirmation actually meant that others were protected by her. If they were not convinced, they could try it.
But in fact, Su Yun did have part of this reason. The Su family asked too much of her. No one treated her like a child. They thought she should be born to be a perfect lady, and a lady would not dislike the heavy goblet.
Su Yun recalled these bits and pieces of things in the past. Time passed quickly. The master chef and the second chef arrived first. They came over and wanted to say something to Su Yun, but Su Yun stopped them: "Let's take a look at Mr. Ding's situation inside first. I think he may know something."
Hearing this, the first chef and the second chef accompanied them and waited outside.
Ding Yihua and the housekeeper simply tidied Ding He up until he was presentable, and then Ding Yihua invited them into the ward.
Ding He was indeed in good condition today. He was a little presbyopic, and he looked carefully for a long time before recognizing Su Yun: "Is it Yunyun who is here? She has grown so big."
Everyone has a brief understanding of Su Yun's affairs. Although they know that there may be nothing wrong between the fake daughter and the real daughter, the exchange of identities and the different educational resources enjoyed by both parties make it difficult to decide whose side to stand on. Only Su Yun and Su Yun themselves can make the choice.
The subsequent developments were consistent with everyone's understanding of Su Yun. She was the kind of person who would rather die than live in disgrace. She was extremely tough. The changes her identity brought to her seemed to be just passing clouds, and she would never change her character because of the change in her identity.
At that time, Ding He told his friends that with Su Yun's personality, she would succeed in everything she did. She was too calm, so calm that she seemed like a fake person.
Su Yun walked to the bedside and greeted, "Hello, Uncle Ding. I heard from Ding Yihua that you were sick, so I came to see you and brought a doctor with me to try."
Ding He was weak, and nodding was a little difficult for him: "You are thoughtful, but I am probably too old. Alas, people can't refuse to accept their age."
"No way, you are in your prime. Maybe your situation is a little special. Let the doctor take a look at you." After Su Yun finished speaking, she motioned for the head chef and the second chef to come over, and she stepped aside.
The sudden appearance of the two big men was already very oppressive. Ding Yihua and his son thought they were bodyguards, but who knew they were actually doctors. What kind of doctor is this?
Can a doctor look like this?
Ding He was ill and couldn't react. Ding Yihua was stunned for a moment and then walked to Su Yun: "This, this is the doctor employee you mentioned?"
Su Yun nodded: "Yes, their medical skills are pretty good, anyway, better than me who just became a monk halfway, what's the problem?"
"Isn't it a bit too... rough?" Ding Yihua really couldn't find another word to describe the two masters. He even felt that rough was not enough.
Hearing this, Su Yun chuckled: "Haha, I know the two masters are quite fierce, but you can't control your appearance, right? Don't worry, they can't do it, I'll go find someone else later."
If even the head chef and the second master weren't helpful, Su Yun felt that he could only go to the Jingling Sect to find someone. That kind of authentic sect had better physical training. Anyway, he had the relationship with Che Xuming, so it would be just right for him to be the go-between.
Fortunately, Ding He's condition was not serious. After checking him, the master chef prescribed a medicated diet recipe and also left a list of acupuncture school places, asking Ding Yihua to hire a reliable Chinese medicine doctor to give acupuncture according to the course of treatment.
Ding Yihua took it gratefully and thanked Su Yun: "Thank you so much, Su Yun, I'm glad you are willing to help, but will it be useful to find a regular doctor?"
Su Yun lowered his voice slightly for the second half of the sentence. He knew that it was evil spirits that entered the body. Ding He didn't know yet and didn't dare to say it directly for fear that his father would be upset. Now the master chef said that just follow the prescription, but he was worried that since he had no cultivation experience, would acupuncture work?
The master chef heard it and answered on behalf of Su Yun: "Yes, I took Mr. Ding's age and physical condition into consideration. The medicines and acupuncture points used are very mild. The main thing is to slowly heal him over time and replenish his Qi with food. This way, it is not easy to leave sequelae."
Ding Yihua felt relieved after hearing this. He expressed his regret to Su Yun for the poor hospitality and went to make arrangements himself. Suddenly, only Su Yun and his group, the housekeeper and Ding He were left in the ward.
Ding He was a little embarrassed and said, "This kid is still not calm enough, Yunyun, please bear with me."
Su Yun sat on the chair beside the bed and said with a smile: "He is also anxious and worried that there is not enough time. By the way, Uncle Ding, I have something I want to ask you alone, what do you think..."
Hearing this, Ding He understood why Su Yun made this special trip and brought a doctor with him, so he raised his hand and asked the housekeeper to leave, with a loving expression on his face: "Ask, kid. I think you must have something very important to ask me with your personality."
"Actually, this matter has a lot to do with you. My employees have been looking for clues for two days, but all the clues point to you, so I want to ask if you remember anything special." Su Yun explained briefly, and then started the story from the arrival of Cheng Haixiang.
There was nothing to hide about the whole process. After all, they were all strange things and did not rise to the level of supernatural things. Ding He was a businessman and he believed in these things himself. It would be easier to understand if he spoke frankly.
Ding He was in poor condition, so the master chef was observing him from the side. When he felt worse, he gave him acupuncture to ensure his safety.
Fortunately, Ding He's emotions did not fluctuate much, and he listened carefully to Su Yun's description: "So you wanted to investigate Lai Shu, and found me, but you contacted the boss and found out that I was in poor health. Now you suspect that my poor health is actually related to Tianshuiyuan in some way?"
Su Yun nodded: "But they are all suspicions, because the logic is very rigid. For example, Tianshui Garden has been completed for several years, but your health started to deteriorate last year. Also, I found that the soil in your garden was not right, and that was the culprit for your poor health. It has nothing to do with Tianshui Garden. It is really confusing."
Ding He pondered for a while and said, "Your suspicion is understandable, but from my point of view, these things are very common. You know, I made my fortune in real estate. The houses I have built are worth at least 800, if not 1,000. The houses I have built are not only within the scope of Bincheng. Most importantly, I am a very old-fashioned person."
Old-fashioned, to put it simply, means traditional and superstitious.
Born in 1960, the education Ding He received was very different from what it is now. He first worked in a construction team, then in a factory, and then went out on his own. He has performed countless metaphysical operations. He has also hung beams, sealed roofs, and driven piles for others. It can be said that no one understands those rules and regulations better than him.
There are some rules that the best understanders in a construction team are experienced contractors like him, apart from the old masters. Ding He knows everything about asking questions, setting piles, putting up beams and hanging bags, breaking ground, etc. Although he is not a professional, he knows how to do it.
Considering his age, it can be said that he has been in the industry for forty years. He has really been working in this business since he was able to carry bricks and has never made any mistakes. How could he suddenly make a mistake in Tianshuiyuan when he was old?
As for the garden at home, he did not participate in the design and construction of the villa area, but he cooperated with the developer who undertook the project at that time. Thinking that they had a good relationship, he reserved a separate piece of land for him. He has lived there for so many years and there has been no problem. The soil for the garden really came from all over the place.
It's just soil. Which piece of land hasn't had people die? Not to mention the distant past, even in modern times, there are wars everywhere. Isn't it normal for fertile soil to be mixed with blood and corpses? How can you tell the difference?
Ding He was not trying to excuse himself, he really couldn't figure out what went wrong in his operation that led to the current situation?
Or maybe he still believes that he is just old and in poor health.
Su Yun listened to him confirming the steps of building Tianshui Garden one by one. According to her understanding, there was nothing wrong with it, so she looked at the two masters and Lin Lang.
"But it sounds like Tianshuiyuan only reported the situation to you, Mr. Ding, and you didn't supervise the work personally, right?" The master chef pointed out the biggest problem.
Ding He paused for a moment, then sighed: "Yes, in fact, according to my own habit, every time I build a house, I will be on site to supervise the construction at several special times, namely the opening ceremony, piling and fixing, and beam raising and roof sealing. I often have to go there more than a dozen times, but Tianshuiyuan..."
Su Yun understood: "You didn't go to every important node as usual, but only went a few times when you had to. According to the time, that year, Ding Yihua took the college entrance examination?"
Building a residential complex may seem like a big project, but as long as the manpower, resources, and money are in place, the construction can be completed quickly. Ding He did not deny it: "Yes, I didn't think too much when I contracted it. The government wants to build a commercial center in each district. It is a very large project. Several large companies in Bincheng don't even need to compete for it. Everyone has a plan."
But because of this, Ding He had no way to push it out. After all, he was not taking the biggest share now, and if others took the contract and failed to do the job, they would still outsource it to him. Outsourcing did not count as performance, so it was better for him to accept it from the beginning.
But in the same year, Ding Yihua took the college entrance examination. While under great pressure, he could not help but waver in his choices for the children of various families. The Ding family was not the kind of family with experience and deep foundation to face all kinds of twists and turns. Ding He was like most ordinary parents. They were even more anxious than their children.
Ding Yihua was dazzled by the choices of the young masters and young ladies in the circle, and so was Ding He. It seemed that no matter what he did or what he chose, it was delayed for a while, and Tianshuiyuan was not taken care of enough. Afterwards, Ding He went back to check and made sure that there were no problems in every link before opening it for pre-sale.
Little did he know that such a problem would suddenly occur after several years of completion. Ding He would never believe that his employees had done anything wrong at the time.
Su Yun listened and let out a long sigh: "That's the problem. You don't have time to go to the site to see the piling and capping. Then who did you ask to help you check the Feng Shui?"
