It was a dark and windy night, and Dongsheng went out again. This time it was very smooth. He did not change the place of his key and quietly slipped out of the compound.
The dim lights in the alley kept swaying, and when the wind blew, the whole alley echoed with a whirring sound.
Dongsheng wrapped his clothes tightly around him and walked straight to the public toilet. Ever since the ghost rumors appeared, no one went to the toilet after dark.
Dongsheng carefully checked the men's and women's restrooms and confirmed that no one was there. He went around to the cesspool at the back and shone the flashlight. The pit was full of broken tiles. He picked up a bamboo pole by the wall and recalled the place where the box had fallen. The bamboo pole kept rising and falling.
There are a lot of hard objects underneath, and the bamboo pole is too long, so there is no way to use it to determine what is underneath.
Dongsheng worked for more than an hour, but he could no longer lift his arms and he didn't fish anything out. He still had to use tools to fish it out, as the bamboo pole couldn't bring up anything from below.
Because he had been near the pit for too long, his body was already filled with stench, and now the stench was even stronger. When Zeng Yuhua returned home, she felt dizzy from the stench, but she didn't dare to say anything. She couldn't find the box, so she could only rely on the man.
The two sons of the Yi family woke up early in the morning and felt as if they had slept in a public toilet all night. The air was filled with a lingering foul smell.
The eldest son of the Yi family, Yi, posted a message saying that he was also looking for a wife, Yi, with a few pieces of clothes.
The second child was miserable. He was not married yet and had no place to stay, so he could only endure it at home. Even when he ate, he felt like he was sitting next to a cesspool.
There was a faint stench in the air throughout the front yard.
Uncle Ge and Uncle Zhang tried to endure it. It was unfortunate enough for the couple to fall into the toilet. There was no need to say anything. Just bear with it, as it might come out in a few days.
Zeng Yuhua recovered a little and went to the street office. The public toilet was under the management of the street office, and the couple were trapped inside. Even if they didn't get compensation, the street office should pay for their medical expenses.
It's not that they are short of this little money. If they don't ask for it, people will think they are doing something fishy and feel guilty. After all, other people have no problem using the toilet any more than once, but it's easy for people to get suspicious when the couple does that.
Street Officer Zhang Yiren was also in a dilemma. He didn't know what the couple was doing in there. The public toilet was not very tall. Logically speaking, the roof would not collapse if you didn't jump around on it. But he had no evidence to prove that it was the couple's problem.
They could only give Zeng Yuhua a perfunctory response and wait until they had found out why the public toilet collapsed before compensating them.
Zeng Yuhua felt guilty, but she spoke very tough. No matter why the wall collapsed, they were all victims. They encountered such a disaster just for going to the toilet. Now people who met the couple would take a detour. It would be too much harm to them.
Without any previous experience, Zhang Yiren didn't know why there was still such a strong smell after falling into the pit for so many days. He could only comfort her and tell her to go back home first. He would give her a satisfactory explanation after investigating the matter thoroughly.
Dongsheng was working all day and he smelled too bad. They were in the food business, so the factory director implicitly gave him a long vacation to let him recuperate, which was exactly what Dongsheng wanted.
In this way, Dongsheng slept all day and went to the manure pit with a fishing net to fish at night.
Soon a week passed, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, the stench from the front yard was getting stronger and stronger, I could even smell it faintly in the backyard, I couldn't eat without closing the windows and doors.
Dongsheng Qi fished out all the tiles and bricks in the pit. His biceps became much bigger, but he still didn't get the box!
"It's impossible, it's clearly in this position," Dongsheng muttered to himself as he looked at the dark pit. He searched the entire pit, but couldn't find it. He wondered if someone else had taken it away.
Did someone find the box when they were retrieving the couple that day? Or did the workers who were repairing the roof of the public toilet find the box?
