C4 (1/2)

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. ”
