Chapter 130 Inscription
"Sudden death?"
Shi Yu was still talking, but his mind was already wandering.
If it wasn't for the need to find out the situation just in case, she wouldn't bother wasting time here with these two people.
When the fat boss heard this, he immediately responded, "It happened suddenly. Kaba! The person died."
"I witnessed it twice. By then, several people had already died. It was impossible to conceal the truth, so the authorities came to investigate and brought us all together."
"That day, at this time, the sound suddenly appeared. The dozen or so people we were with immediately fell silent after hearing the noise. No one knew what was going on."
"Just like now, everyone's attention was focused on the outside of the window, and no one noticed the people around them. Suddenly, there was a thud, and two workers fell straight to the ground. There was no sign at all. When I heard the noise and went to see, both of them were already dead."
"Neither of them had any external injuries. Moreover, they were with everyone when the accident happened. Apart from not breathing, they looked like they were asleep."
Compared to the fat boss, Xiao Li speaks much more clearly.
Shi Yu nodded, "Okay, I'm going to go over and take a look. Do you two want to stay here or come with me?"
Although bringing these two people along is equivalent to bringing two burdens, the other party has spent money after all, and we can't just abandon the client and ignore them.
Of course, if the other person doesn't want to go, it's none of her business.
"Let's go together!"
The fat boss hesitated, obviously not wanting to go. After hearing what Xiao Li said, he pulled his sleeve hard.
But Xiao Li frowned, "Boss, no matter where we hide now, it's not as safe as staying with Miss Shi, right? Besides, this is our own construction site."
"For this matter to be resolved, we must know what happened."
Shi Yu glanced at Xiao Li a few times.
No wonder he can form his own team at such a young age. I have to say that this person does have some abilities.
At least when something happens, he won't choose to be a coward. This alone makes him much better than many people.
"If you're really scared, then just stay here. I can go with Miss Shi on my own. At least I can lend Miss Shi a hand and help her when necessary."
[Is it my imagination? Why do I feel like this Xiao Li is weird?]
[I think so too. If ordinary people encountered such a situation, they would have already run away from it. There is no point in getting involved.]
[The person above has been a loser for too long, right? This Xiao Li is so responsible. Why does everyone have to be a coward?]
If I had a boss like this, I'd definitely feel at ease. At least I wouldn't have to worry about being blamed by my boss if something went wrong.
[When things are out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy going on. To be frank, this Xiao Li is just a foreman. Even serious bosses aren't as proactive as him. Who would believe him if he said there weren't some issues?]
[Isn't it strange that I just showed up so weakly? The fat boss has already consulted the master, so why is it useless?]
"You can follow me, but I can guarantee that you won't be in danger if you stay here. It's up to you guys to decide." After saying this, Shi Yu turned on the flashlight on his phone and headed towards the location where the fire was.
Although there were only a few scattered lights, the location was dim and it looked like there were quite a few people there.
Although he was scared, the fat boss finally didn't dare to stay alone and followed behind timidly.
"What's that place ahead?"
Xiao Li frowned and said, "That's where materials are usually stored, but because of the incident, no new materials have been delivered during this period. It's basically an empty space."
"Now, it has probably become a gathering place for those ghost soldiers."
Shi Yu didn't say anything, but he felt a little strange in his heart.
Just like what the fat boss and the others said, things like ghost soldiers usually appear in deep mountains and old forests, and they can only appear if there is a great opportunity, the right time and place, as well as overwhelming resentment.
Places like the city, apart from other things, have no advantage in terms of location alone. It is too popular. With such popularity, even the biggest resentment can be washed away.
It is impossible to preserve it until now.
What's more, this group of ghost soldiers is quite large.
How on earth did you end up here?
Although he had already started brainstorming, Shi Yu did not stop at all. However, he was so absorbed in his thoughts that he almost tripped over an inscription under his feet.
"Miss Shi, be careful!"
With the help of Xiao Li, Shi Yu managed to stand firmly. They were now standing not too far away from those ghost soldiers. The flashlights on their mobile phones had been turned off, but they could still vaguely see those strange shadows.
Shi Yu shook his head and squatted down looking at the exposed corner of the stone tablet. "It looks like a tablet?"
"Xiao Li, is this the place where we found the body?" The fat boss trembled and pointed to Shi Yu's feet, "Is it there?"
"Yes." Xiao Li nodded. "The coffin was dug out from under Miss Shi's feet. It's still there now."
Shi Yu didn't respond to the two people's words. He just squatted on the ground and wiped off the thin layer of dust on the inscription. "Didn't you see this lying tombstone when you were digging the coffin?"
The fat boss looked at Shi Yu blankly, "What's a lying monument? I've never heard of it!"
"Miss Shi, we dug up the coffin and buried it again. If there was anything around it, someone would have found it. But I have never seen this lying tombstone."
Shigure: “…Okay.”
With the help of the faint light from his cell phone, Shi Yu frowned and softly read the words on the stele, "In the seventh year of Zhenguan, grain officer Chen Tuo buried three hundred civilians alive here..."
[Buried alive? Is that the buried alive I know?]
[So these ghost soldiers aren't soldiers at all, but ordinary people?]
"Impossible! We all saw it just now. Even though the armor was rusty, it was definitely not something an ordinary civilian would be qualified to wear. Regardless of the era, armor, like weapons, was considered war reserve material."
The words at the end were no longer legible. Shi Yu frowned as he looked at the barely recognizable text. For some reason, a sense of familiarity came over him.
The feeling was exactly the same as when I was in Qijia Village.
Shi Yu sighed, this couldn't be another mess she had left for herself!
Just when Shi Yu was hesitating and thinking, the selfie stick of his mobile phone gently touched the broken lying monument. The picture in the live broadcast room suddenly flickered and an unprecedented black screen appeared.
