Chapter 537: Some twists and turns in the West City Gate (please vote for me!)(2/2)
"Why are you two running so fast? Why didn't you protect me when a brick fell down beside me just now? This is an obligation, how could you two do this?"
Chen You looked a little guilty, but Yan Liulang said nothing and ignored him. He patted his sleeves and went to help other soldiers who were guarding the Buddha's head.
But now is not the time to pursue the matter.
Lin Cheng hurried forward and asked someone to inspect the Buddha's head, and found that it was indeed not damaged. After all, the Buddha's head had been transported all the way with fixed wooden frames and linoleum cloth to protect it from wind and rain. It also blocked the falling bricks.
After a while, the inventory was completed. There was no danger of the bridge hole and the Buddha's head. After inspection, only a few people were injured.
Lin Cheng and others were relieved. The former frowned a little and looked up at the ceiling of the bridge cave where the old bricks were exposed.
Next, he didn't dare to leave the Buddha's head for even a moment. The little accident just now made Lin Cheng, who believed in fate, look a little gloomy. The main reason was that the omen was not good. Why did he encounter such a thing just after entering the city?
After a while, the bridge tunnel was completely cleared and traffic could continue.
Rong Zhen, who was on guard at the city tower, waited for the female officer to come downstairs. Together with Lin Cheng and the soldiers, they closely guarded the carriage carrying the Buddha, entered the city, and rolled to the Xingzi Lake construction site.
Li Xian and others made excuses to say goodbye on the grounds of physical discomfort, and did not continue to the Xingzifang construction site. Lin Cheng politely tried to persuade them to stay, but to no avail, and did not care.
Yuan Huaimin also wanted to run away, but as a long history representative and a representative of Jiangzhou Hall, he couldn't just go without anyone. He had no choice but to follow him like a transparent boy.
While Lin Cheng and his female officers were not paying attention, Rong Zhen glanced back at Xie Ling Jiang's slim and handsome back.
This noble lady of the Xie family is not wearing men's clothing today, but is wearing an unprecedented lady's dress.
"Are you going to the Poetry Club to accompany him..."
With pink lips murmuring, she reached out and touched an orange-red sachet in her sleeve.
There were a lot of people in the tower just now, so Rong was really thin-skinned, so he subconsciously put it away before going up to the tower.
Look now...if I had known she would have been wearing it.
…
It's still dark.
Huang Feihong opened the courtyard door and strode off.
He wears a felt hat, which was left by that young man.
Huang Feihong touched his bulging belly and took a long breath.
I'm so happy, I had a full meal of beef with soy sauce this morning.
My daughter is still considerate.
It seems like it's going to rain today, but at this point, the sky is getting dark.
The bearded man carried a small bundle across his body and met his companions at the city gate to go to the Xingzi Lake construction site.
When I arrived at the construction site, I lined up and the guards at the gate of the construction site conducted routine body searches.
"The paper money and drinks inside are to commemorate the first seven of the deceased brothers..."
After winter, the construction site of the Giant Buddha is still working overtime. Although the supply speed in the city is better than that in the wilderness like Xunyang Grottoes, the construction is still difficult in the cold weather. In the past few days, there were more than ten construction site workers, who were killed by the high altitude above the Buddha statue.
The falling object smashed into meat paste.
This matter has been blocked by the governor's office.
But everyone on the construction site knows that morale is a bit low.
In order to prevent the news from spreading, the funeral was kept secret.
However, there are still many people who either sympathize or cannot let go of their friends and pay their respects secretly in private.
After the search, the supervisor came over and inspected the small bundle they had quietly brought, as if they were not surprised by the sacrificial items inside.
He took out several items from the small baggage brought by Huang Feihong and others.
Mainly a few wine gourds and a few wads of paper money.
After turning over the paper money, the supervisor picked up one of the small gourds, opened it and took a sip:
"Fuck, what the hell does this smell like? Why is there blood in the wine?"
"Monkey blood wine, my daughter brought it back to me." Huang Feihong chuckled.
"What's making the noise inside?" The supervisor shook the wine gourd, and there seemed to be a small round hard object inside.
Huang Feihong scratched his head: "There is still a grain of snake gall in the gourd. Brother Yuan, would you like to try monkey blood mixed with snake gall? It's a great supplement."
"Fuck you, taste your ass."
After being secretly stuffed with some sauced meat wrapped in oil paper, the supervisor relaxed slightly.
However, the supervisor known as Brother Yuan angrily seized the paper money and waved his hand:
"No paper money is allowed to be burned today. The higher-ups have ordered that no flammable things be allowed. It seems to mean that it is unlucky to avoid fire today. Don't blame us for being unreasonable."
As he said that, the supervisor poured out a little more wine from the gourd, including Huang Feihong's monkey blood wine. Different from the turbid yellow wine, it was a black-red liquid with some ash floating on the liquid, like the ashes of burned paper.
However, the supervisor didn't pay attention. He just brought the fire stick close to him and tried it. When he found that it didn't burn, he handed the wine gourd back and ordered:
"You take a sip now and then go in.
"Remember, stay away to pay your respects, and don't get too close to the Buddha statue. It's heavily guarded there today, and I can't even get close. You stay away, but if you are seen by the adults, they won't be able to protect you."
"Yes Yes Yes."
In front of the supervisors, each took a sip from the wine gourd, and Huang Feihong and others entered with sacrificial wine.
After a while, Huang Feihong and his friends were in an open space. After kneeling down to pay homage to their familiar companions who died, they separated. Huang Feihong returned to the water room where he worked.
The water house is relatively close to the Big Buddha, but next to it is a fire watch tower.
He found that the number of guards on guard tower had doubled today, and there were also an exceptionally large number of people walking along the way.
Today, nothing happened in the water house. In fact, the workers on the entire construction site were fine. All the workers inside the Buddha statue were also evacuated. No one was allowed to get close to the Buddha statue. However, everyone still arrived on time and stayed at their posts, saying it was as a precaution.
just in case.
Huang Feihong carried a wine gourd soaked in a certain grain of snake gall, walked into a familiar workstation cubicle, and sat on the floor.
The man in the felt hat raised his head and drank, his mouth full of sour taste. From time to time he wiped the corners of his red mouth with his fist and waited quietly.
