The scorching sun hangs high in the blue sky, scorching the earth.
The vast and uncovered yellow land is like a huge steamer, constantly emitting steam.
In such a scorching heat, if you move a little, you will be covered in sweat, and even the usually noisy cicadas will hide away to cool off and stop singing.
However, outside Jingzhou City.
More than 100,000 young men, their faces tanned red by the scorching sun, are working hard.
Some people were wielding hoes, working hard to loosen the soil.
Some people held shovels and shoveled the soil desperately.
Some people carried shoulder poles and staggered to carry soil.
These men are like iron, tireless, and their faces are all filled with happy smiles.
Li Erhu was also among them.
I saw him raise the hoe high and swing it down with all his strength. With a "bang", it hit a hard object.
Seeing this, Li Erhu moved a few steps, changed his position, and hoeed down with the other hand. There was another "bang" sound.
He changed his position several times in succession, and all of them fell on the huge rock.
It seems that this stone is really big.
Li Erhu immediately threw the hoe aside, picked up a shovel and began to loosen the soil bit by bit.
In a short while, they cleared out a huge rock eight feet long.
You can vaguely make out the outline of a person.
"hiss……"
Li Erhu took a breath of cold air. Could this be a stone man?
The songs hummed by children flashed through his mind, and he felt vaguely uneasy.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Erhu tried to bury the stone man back.
"What is this? Come and have a look, everyone! I've dug something strange out of the ground!"
A cry of surprise came from behind Li Erhu.
In an instant, everyone put down their work and gathered around to watch the fun.
After a while.
With everyone's concerted efforts, the stone man was dug out and cleaned up.
This stone man was eight feet tall, with broad shoulders and a thick waist, and looked like a fierce person. It took eighteen strong men to lift him up.
The news of the stone man spread quickly throughout the construction site.
More and more people put down their work and rushed to watch the fun, surrounding the stone man in three layers inside and outside.
"Oh my goodness, how could a stone man be dug out of this mud?"
"This stone figure is so heavy that it took more than a dozen strong men to lift it. It must not have been buried secretly by someone."
"Oh my god, why do I keep hearing my kid muttering about the Stoneman song lately? What does this little kid know? This must be a sign from the heavens!"
"I heard it too, I heard it too. It seemed to be something like a Modao Stone Man or something."
"Don't say the stone man has only one eye, he is stirring up rebellion in the world."
"That's right, that's it!"
"Yes, nothing wrong!"
"That's right, that's exactly what I've been hearing these days."
"Hmm...are we really going to have a war? I've just started living a good life!"
"Zhang Laosan, you're just talking nonsense! This is God's will. There will definitely be war and chaos in the world!"
For a moment, everyone was outraged!
They had just recently been transformed from disaster victims into migrant workers and had just started to earn a little money.
They thought they could make a lot of money if they continued working for a long time, then go back to their hometown to buy land and live a happy and healthy life. But if there is chaos now, how can they earn money and have a good life?
"Bullshit! What chaos is going on? How can there be chaos when the Lord is here?"
"That's right, with the Qingtian Master in Jingzhou, there can't be chaos! Liu Gou, stop talking nonsense."
Liu Gou's eyes rolled around, and he said aggrievedly, "I'm not talking nonsense, this is clearly God's will!"
While speaking, he kept winking at his companions.
"Gurgle."
The burly man next to Liu Gou swallowed his saliva, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and was about to take a step forward and raise his arms to shout.
In no mood……
"Look, something's wrong! This stone man has three eyes!"
What?
Three eyes?
That's impossible?
He clearly only carved one eye!
"Hey, it really has three eyes!"
"What about the one eye in that song?"
"Don't take the kids' cries seriously, they're just making noises. They don't make any sense at all!"
“Yes, yes, yes!”
"No, no, my wife bought some fish yesterday and found a letter written in blood on the fish's belly. It said the King of Qin had ascended the throne! How could there be a letter written in blood in a fish's belly?"
"Nonsense! I clearly heard the fox fairy say the night before that the Prince of Yan was the emperor!"
"But what I heard seemed to be some kind of heaven or something."
"I think I heard it, too."
"Me too, me too."
Public opinion was tilted to the other side again.
The thin young man who had been hiding in the crowd suddenly shouted, "I know, I know!"
"Chen, what do you know? I remember you've been to school for a few days and can recognize some words. Come on, tell us about it."
"Yes, yes, please let the scholar tell us."
Chen Wazi was immediately brought to the front by everyone.
He looked at the dark crowd, took a few deep breaths, and shouted, "Look everyone, normal people have two eyes, right?"
Everyone responded in unison: "Yes!"
Chen Wazi asked again, "Then why does this stone man have three eyes?"
"Apart from the normal eyes, the eye on the forehead is not an ordinary eye, but a divine eye!"
Someone in the crowd asked in doubt: "Yes, that's right, but what exactly do you want to say, kid?"
Chen Wazi suddenly asked, "Everyone, don't you find it strange?"
