As the Second Master spoke slowly, everyone gradually understood the whole story.
Eighty years ago, the Second Grandpa was still a young man.
Follow the master, travel around, learn the craft, and accumulate experience.
Suddenly one day, the master quietly told him that there was a mysterious thing to do.
This matter concerns many people and is a big secret.
It may even endanger the lives of many people.
That night, Master left a letter and left quietly.
The Second Master couldn't find the master, so he opened the letter and read it.
The master told him that if he didn't come back after a month.
Second Master, please stop looking for him. Remember, stay anonymous and live an ordinary life.
The Second Master has been waiting for more than a month, but there is still no sign of the master and no news.
He was very uneasy because Master treated him like his biological father.
He couldn't let it go.
So, the second prince went around looking for the master's whereabouts.
However, all failed.
Suddenly one day, several people appeared and arrested the second master.
The second master didn't know where he was going and was taken to a secret place.
The place was heavily guarded. He tried to escape, but it was impossible.
However, they served the second master with delicious food and drinks, and did not beat or scold him. They just did not tell him what to do.
In this way, some time passed unconsciously.
A man came to see him.
This man seemed to be a man of high rank, with an extraordinary status and a lot of knowledge.
They called him Team Leader He.
Team Leader He asked the Second Master some information.
She cared a lot about him and even introduced him to a woman as a partner.
Team Leader He told the Second Master that if he was willing, the higher-ups could give him a large reward.
All he needs is for the Second Master to use the skills passed down to him by his master.
The second master was somewhat moved.
At that time, there was poverty and downturn.
The second prince learned skills from his master just to have something to eat.
Now, he was about to have glory and wealth, so he naturally wanted to give it a try.
The second master agreed.
Team Leader He was very happy and took the Second Master to a secret place to gather.
When he got there, the Second Master discovered that many people looked like they were craftsmen.
Moreover, some of them, the older ones, the Second Master had heard of their famous names.
That's why celebrities from various factions are here.
The second grandfather was very puzzled. He asked many people, but everyone said they didn't know what happened.
At this time, Team Leader He stood in front of everyone and began to speak.
He told everyone that next, there will be a deletion assessment.
As long as you are qualified, you can stay and work.
This matter is no small matter. If it is done, it will bring glory to our ancestors and we will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of our lives.
However, the premise is that you must pass the test.
The Second Master understood in his heart that everyone was here to build something.
At that time, there was a rumor that it was being built as a mausoleum and that some important person must be buried.
Even if they complete the tomb, they will still be buried with them.
So, for a while, many people fled secretly.
The Second Master did not escape. He was very worried that if he escaped, once he was caught, he might anger these mysterious people, and what if he was killed.
The second master thought of a way. During the assessment, he deliberately did not do well.
The skills passed down to him by his master were not put into good use either.
He was confused and passed by, and soon he was eliminated.
The second master was very nervous and was taken away. Someone gave him some money and some food and told him he could leave.
The second master ran all the way, fearing that he would be chased.
But in the end, he found that no one was chasing him.
At that time, everything was in chaos, and for some reason, a war broke out.
Moreover, there are thieves and bandits in many places.
The second grandfather was aimless along the road, occasionally making handicrafts for people to make ends meet.
In this way, more than two months passed, and suddenly one day, the second master met a beggar on the roadside.
This beggar could no longer walk with his legs and was crawling on the ground.
And he was covered in scars and was pitiful.
In that era, beggars were very common.
To sympathize with others, it is better to sympathize with yourself first.
The second master was about to go out of the way, but unexpectedly, the strange man grabbed his leg and dragged him.
The second master was about to kick him away, but to his surprise, the beggar actually called out his name.
After careful identification, I discovered that the beggar had also gone with him to meet Team Leader He.
At that time, they were traveling on the same road and were eliminated together. Unexpectedly, they were reduced to this field.
The second master still sympathized with him and gave him food.
The beggar cried and told the second master to run away quickly or go to Team Leader He.
Because, at that time, those who were smart enough to worry about being taken away by Team Leader He to make a tomb would not end well now.
Many people were killed, and many people are missing.
It is said that he was caught by some thieves.
Those thieves actually tested them in the same way as Team Leader He. However, the difference was that they were treated like animals, beaten and scolded, and tortured constantly.
The purpose is to force them to use their best skills.
The second prince couldn't help but be afraid. Fortunately, the beggar had escaped, but he was still disabled.
The second master didn't dare to stay long, so he quickly gave the beggar some money, and then hurried on his way.
He knew very well that there were two forces now. Although he didn't know the purpose, they were definitely competing for their craftsmen.
What is it that they must do?
What are these skilled craftsmen doing? The second master vaguely felt that it was something extraordinary.
He started to be cautious from then on, but fortunately, he finally found out where Team Leader He was recruiting people.
The second master rushed over and found that the recruitment office was deserted.
Just one person dozing there.
The second uncle explained his purpose, and the man's attitude was surprisingly good. He immediately registered him and took the second uncle with him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the second master entered the house, the door was closed. Several burly men came over, held him down, and tied him up.
As soon as the second master saw this posture, he knew he had been fooled.
Only then did he realize that he was not the only one locked up here.
Now, he didn't know how upset he was.
One of the people who was imprisoned told me that the thieves here were deliberately trying to catch them under the guise of being deceived, and they were also deceived and came here.
During the few days he was imprisoned, the second master didn't even have anything to eat, only a little dirty water to drink.
He saw with his own eyes that several of his companions were tortured to death because they tried to escape, were captured and beaten to death.
The second grandfather was very desperate and felt that his life was coming to an end. He regretted very much that he had not followed Team Leader He in the first place.
