During the day, when I was checking the construction site roster, I noticed that there was only one person on the site named Zhang, the old man who had told me that someone had died on the site in the morning.

"Wear this on your hands and don't leave them?" I looked doubtfully at Old Liu.

Old Liu saw my doubt and immediately said seriously, "You better not doubt my words. Old Zhang said that you're entangled with some dirty stuff. If you didn't send his granddaughter today, who knows? He might not even want to care about this!"

Upon hearing these words, I immediately believed the other party's words. Without saying anything further, I placed the small wooden cow on my wrist.

After a few more casual chats, Old Liu said his goodbyes and left.

"Old Zhang is just a crane at the construction site. If he had that kind of ability, why would he still come here to work?" I lay on my bed in the kiosk and looked at the little wooden cow on my wrist. I still felt a little uneasy.

Maybe it was because I didn't sleep well last night, but after another day of running, I unknowingly fell asleep.

When the electronic clock on the wall chimed twelve o'clock, I wanted to go to the bathroom. But when I tried to sit up, I suddenly felt as though my body was being held down by something. I couldn't move at all!

"Ghost press!?"

As this thought surfaced in my mind, cold sweat instantly soaked my back.

Then, from the next room, the sound of rustling could be heard. It seemed to be moving all the way to the front door of the watchtower!

Du, du, du …

There was a knock on the door and the temperature in the kiosk dropped abruptly. I felt as if I had suddenly fallen into an ice cave!

Next, the door to the watchtower was slowly pushed open and a black figure appeared outside the watchtower!

Then, the moment the black figure entered the watchtower, a blinding light suddenly radiated from my body. Following that, a burning pain came from my wrist. I instantly sat up in shock!

The moment I sat up, the black figure outside the door immediately disappeared into thin air. The door also slowly closed and the temperature in the watchtower returned to normal.

Wiping away the cold sweat on my forehead, I looked at the warm wooden cow on my wrist with lingering fear in my heart.

I didn't expect that I would end up saving my life after doing such a good deed so conveniently.

After a peaceful night, I finally managed to get a good night's sleep.

The next morning at 8 o'clock, I opened the gate of the construction site on time. I bought two packs of cigarettes and kept them in my pockets as I waited for Elder Zhang's arrival.

The workers entered the construction site one by one. When it was almost 8: 30, Elder Zhang was gnawing on a bun as he hurried towards the construction site.

As soon as Elder Zhang arrived, I immediately pulled him back. Without saying anything further, I shoved the cigarette into his hand and even expressed my gratitude.

Seeing that I was stuffing cigarettes and thanking him, Elder Zhang was stunned for a moment. In the end, he said, "What are you doing? When did I save your life? "

Hearing that, I immediately revealed the wooden cow on my wrist. "Isn't this what you asked Elder Liu to bring over to me at the construction site last night?"

Upon seeing that wooden ox, Elder Zhang was stunned for a moment. Then, he shook his head as if he was looking at a fool. "Is there someone surnamed Liu on our construction site?"

After saying that, Elder Zhang was about to leave, but he suddenly stopped and gave me another stab. "About that, about yesterday morning, don't take it to heart." Something did happen in the room next to the duty station, but no one died. I just saw that you were new yesterday and was just joking with you. "

After saying that, Old Zhang gnawed on the steamed bun in his hands as he walked towards the locker room without looking back, leaving me standing there like an idiot.

"What are you doing? Why does it have to be urged every time we turn in? "

Liu Jie's voice came from behind me. I turned around and asked in a daze, "Do we have any old comrades from the construction site with the surname Liu?"

"Isn't there a roster of construction sites in the watchtower? You won't investigate yourself? "

Seeing that Liu Jie seemed to be a little angry, I had no choice but to hand in my shift in the watchman's booth first, then flipped through the roster.

However, when I finished flipping through the roster, I felt as though my head was about to explode. Just as Elder Zhang had said, there were no workers on the construction site with the surname Liu.

At first, Elder Zhang told me that someone had died in the next room, but Liu Jie and Elder Miao just said that it was nothing of the sort. But what happened to me later proved that the next room was not clean. If Elder Liu hadn't brought me that wooden ox, I probably would have been killed by that thing by now! However, Elder Zhang told me that he was only joking with me!

Had anyone died in the next room? What was the matter with that unclean thing?

Thinking of this, my mind was in a mess. Without saying anything further, I directly left the construction site, caught a taxi, and ran in the direction of Li Wenyuan's home.

At this point, I could only place my hopes on the unknown reason for Li Wenyuan's resignation.

Arriving at the outskirts of the city, I got off the car, bought some fruits and then walked towards Li Wen Yuan's house. But when I found Li Wenyuan's house according to the address written in the record, I found out that his house's door was locked, and some money was scattered on the ground.

Seeing this, a bad premonition arose in my heart. I immediately walked towards an old man who was sitting under a nearby tree and resting.

"Gramps, let me ask you something!"

The most taboo thing for a country bumpkin is to mention other people's stories and think they're unlucky, so I took a pack of cigarettes I'd bought earlier and lit one for the old man.

The old man looked at me with a smile, "What is it? Tell me."

Seeing this, I hurriedly took advantage of the heat to ask, "The person who lives in this house is called Li Wen Yuan, right? What happened to their family? "

Hearing this, the old man smacked his lips. He looked at Li Wen Yuan's house and then looked at the cigarette in my hand. The meaning behind his words was extremely obvious.

Although my heart ached a little, I still stuffed the entire box of cigarettes into the hands of the old man without any hesitation.

Opening the cigarette cap and smelling it, the old man put the cigarette back in his pocket in satisfaction, "Li Wen Yuan, you messed with unclean stuff the moment you came back." Well, he died the morning before yesterday! When he died, his dad couldn't take the blow and went to the hospital in one breath. "

"Dead? "He's still so young, how could he have died so easily?"

"Bleeding in the head. When I found it, it was already bleeding out of my seven orifices!"

Brain hemorrhage again? Wasn't this the same as the Liang Family Army from before? And he had only left the construction site for a few days! Could it be that something unclean had already existed on the construction site?

Thinking of this, I suddenly thought of what Big Board said. If that place was originally a cemetery, then that would make sense. But why did all this happen to the night watchman?

With this question in mind, I hastily bid the old man farewell.

However, the moment I turned around, the old man's faint voice came from behind, "Although the thing in your hand can save your life temporarily, it will bring you trouble if you wait too long."

Hearing that, I was immediately shocked. But when I turned around, there was no trace of the old man under the tree.
