Otherworldly Merchant

“What makes it impossible to start work?” I couldn't help but be curious.

“It's not worth it!” Li Mazi said: "This tunnel is the most expensive thing, far more difficult than any highway, crossing the river bridge or anything. Big projects like this, hundreds of millions of dollars thrown inside and blinking gone. ”

“That's what I thought! After so many years of hard work, I finally got some capital and planned the second phase of the development in advance to pay off my bank arrears during the construction. But when I really got involved in this project, I realized that it wasn't about the funds that really blocked me...” Mr. Guo frowned on the locked path.

“What's the problem? Is there someone competing with you?” I asked.

“Nor is it.” Boss Guo waved, “This type of engineering investment is huge, the return cycle is too long, the risk is extremely high, and nobody is robbing me at all. Moreover, provincial, municipal and county leaders at all three levels also attach great importance to this project and have always strongly supported it. However, the difficulty of developing it in the end is far beyond my imagination! ”

“What's the matter?” I doubt the clouds even more.

Boss Guo explained: "The project started last year, and it started smoothly. After digging in more than 60 meters, the accident started continuously. Either the drill bit broke or the machine failed, or the worker was somehow smashed, and there were several major collapse accidents. However, the Panel's repeated arguments have not revealed any problems. For safety reasons, work had to be temporarily suspended until all hidden hazards could be properly handled. ”

“But I have already disbursed a loan for the construction of the tunnel, along with the second-phase project. In case I had to, I had to put Phase II on my horse with my scalp! But who knew the haunting happened again, scared the workers away, thanks to the help of two masters to solve the problem. However, the discovery of the ancient tomb, the conflict with archaeology, had to be stopped. ”

“But then, the building stopped, the first phase of the tunnel couldn't open, the full plan was all gone, maybe I have to go back and fry vegetables! Fortunately, my craftsmanship has not yet fallen. Being a master is still qualified.” After that, he laughed and poured himself a glass of wine.

Li Mazi looked at me here and said, "Over by the tunnel, have you seen anyone? ”

Then he added: "I think the tunnel is a little evil, probably caused by some kind of evil trick. ”

“Yes, Mr. Zhang Wujin.” Mr. Guo Dao.

“He went to the scene to see, and then opened the altar for three days and did nothing. Instead, a very serious collapse accident ensued, killing five workers. ”

“Zhang Wujin can't, those two are not enough to look at.” Li Mazi waved with his mouth open - as if he was doing well.

“Didn't you find anyone else?” I asked.

“No.” Boss Guo shook his head: “After the collapse, the project was stopped by the superior management. Besides, the entire tunnel was blocked and no one could get in, even if someone came to see it. ”

“Here's the deal.” I thought about it, “you show us first thing in the morning. If there really is something evil in the way, we can help you solve it. If it's not something evil, we can't help it, so go back first. ”

“This...” Mr. Guo stunned and said with great gratitude: "If you can really get the tunnel started again, you two will be my great benefactors! Let me thank you all. ”

“That won't be necessary.” I smiled slightly: “Tunnelling is a great thing for the people of Li Guo. It is rare for you to have this heart, Mr. Guo. If it's really shady and obstructs the progress of the project, I will do it publicly and privately! All right, Guo, let's just talk in the bar, then hurry up and take a break and show us tomorrow. ”

Li Mazi looked at me with some surprise, as if to say something, but he still didn't open his mouth.

“Okay, I won't say anything.” Boss Guo was very excited to end the glass.

Me and Li Mazi also took a sip of the glass and dried it, and then fell asleep at Boss Guo's house.

I was going to get up early, but since I got here, I've been busy all day, so tired. Plus I drank a lot of wine last night, and it was 11: 30 when I opened my eyes and the sun climbed.

At a glance, Li Mazi was still snooping and drooling.

“Asako, get up!” I hurry and wake him up.

We hurried to get dressed and walked out of the bedroom to look. The dining table held several sea bowls and the smell of spray went straight out to drill. Boss Guo was walking out of the kitchen with a casserole.

“Yo, you two woke up really good.” Boss Guo laughed and put the casserole on the table.

“Guo, why didn't you tell us to go to the tunnel site? ”

“It's been more than a year since we stopped work anyway, and it's not too urgent to go at this time until we've had enough to eat and drink.” Mr. Guo said, lifting the lid of the casserole pan: “Come quickly, the red date lean porridge that just came out of the pan. ”

“That's right, you need to be so busy, then whether it's evil or not, let's just see if we can solve the problem... hey, I say it smells good!” Li Mazi slept and mumbled, lifting the sea bowl on the table one by one.

“Ha ha, eat more if it's good.” As soon as Boss Guo heard Li Mazi praise him for his delicious food, he laughed and shrugged his eyes into a stitch. It's happier than making hundreds of thousands more.

After eating this delicious meal, which doesn't say whether it's breakfast or lunch, we drive straight to the tunnel where it stops.

Not too far from the site where the bronze ice sampling was excavated, far away we saw that various large machines were nervous and busy in an orderly manner, and it appeared that rescue tomb excavation was under way with the full cooperation of Boss Guo.

Continued north along the adjacent road for three or four kilometres, the car stopped in front of a stretching rocky mountain.

Straight ahead, it's a big black painted hole, and I don't know how deep it is.

Several large wooden boards were nailed to the front of the hole, with the sign "Dangerous no entry” hanging on it.

“This is it.” Boss Guo pointed forward: “Since the accident, it has been closed to this day. After rescuing the body of the crash worker, I was afraid of any further accidents, and I quickly relocated all my personnel from the scene until now, when a lot of equipment had not been evacuated. Come on, I'll show you inside.” Boss Guo said, pull the door and get out.

Li Mazi hurriedly called him, “Whether or not you're sneaking around, this place is very dangerous. I think you should stay out of it. We'll just go check it out. ”

“There shouldn't be anything wrong, Spring Festival and Clear, I would also go in and burn paper money for the victims and find nothing wrong. ”

“For insurance's sake, you should wait here.” Li Mazi got out of the car with a tennis bag and ordered Mr. Guo again. Then I crossed the plank in the hole and walked in.

It was dark in the hole, and the light of the flashlight made it difficult to see the general situation.

There are mechanical spiral excavation marks on all fours, and there are also a number of tire marks on the ground that have been crushed by various large vehicles, close to the stone wall, and a lot of equipment that has not arrived and been evacuated.

There was a mess, a rotten, rotten smell spreading all over the place, drilling into the nostrils.

“Brother Zhang, what exactly do you think?” After entering the hole a dozen meters, Li Mazi turned around and looked out of the hole, suddenly asking.

“What do you think?” I was suddenly confused by him.
