After closing the window, Yang Kun asked worriedly.
Huang Mao patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, boss. It's okay. I just saw the laser playing. You didn't see what we were doing. Besides, there are a lot of people playing with lasers now."
What Huang Mao said is indeed true. Laser lights have just become popular in some northern areas this year. You can buy one at a canteen for three or four yuan, with a button battery. It is the favorite of primary school students to take out the laser light and shine it on people at night.
I checked the time and said, "Brother Yang is waiting. It's best to send someone to the door to keep an eye on it. We'll start digging around one o'clock in the evening."
Yang Kun nodded and said: "It makes sense, then go out and watch."
...
I put on my hat and gloves and sat on the steps outside the small building. I just watched the number of people in the small square getting fewer and fewer. By about 11 o'clock, there was no one around. The lights in the auditorium and the stadium were also turned off.
The door was locked, and only a small light was on in the cultural preservation office.
According to my understanding, before the Kaiyuan Square was built, there were six or seven people in the Binta Cultural Preservation Office during the day, and only two or three people at night. They were mainly responsible for the daily maintenance and cleaning of the ancient pagoda, and they also had to watch and prevent people from climbing the ancient pagoda.
The cold weather was several degrees below zero, and no one would come out. They were all warming up by the fire and watching TV.
It is true that Yang Bin's technical content is not high and he can only dig ready-made, but there are also good wild people, such as his brother Yang Bin. His brother has his own warehouse and maintains a team that specializes in restoring cultural relics (similar to Xiaomi's work)
), he has a variety of advanced equipment, positioners (theodolite), oil hoist disassembly and assembly cranes, hydraulic clamps, improved detonators, slide cars and other tools.
"Bang... bang..."
I looked up at the sky and saw someone setting off firecrackers.
It should be placed at the Wei Tuo Bodhisattva Temple. It is less than 10 miles from Kaiyuan Pagoda to there, and the solar year will be celebrated in more than ten days. Some sincere believers started guarding the temple early, just hoping to burn incense during the solar year.
, I hope that Bodhisattva can bless you and your family to have a good start in the coming year.
At 12:30 in the evening, the lights on the Cultural Security Bureau were also turned off. I threw away the cigarette butt, stamped it out, and turned around and entered the small building.
When I came in, the water pump blocked the door with the table.
According to the distance measured by the theodolite, Huang Mao drew a circle with chalk on the concrete floor. He stood in the circle and said: "Boss, just dig down from here, 5 meters down, and then dig forward. There are many of us.
If you work quickly, you can dig more than 20 meters in one night and get under the tower in less than ten days."
Yang Kun nodded and ordered: "Tingting, watch from the window and report any changes in time."
"You push the cart with three bags, pile the soil behind the house, and cover it with a raincoat at dawn."
"Water pump, Lao Wei, Lao Ma."
"Take the sledgehammer."
"Heh...bah!"
The water pump spat on his hand. He tightened the sledgehammer and raised it high. Bang! It hit the concrete floor with great force and the sound was very loud.
"Wait, you can't hit it like this, the sound is too loud, wait for me for two minutes."
I quickly ran up to the second floor and found a roll of old carpet. This carpet had been replaced in the auditorium. It was very thick. I dragged the carpet downstairs, opened it, and spread it on the cement floor.
"Smash it, the sound should be quieter now."
Sure enough, the water pump made much less noise when it was hit.
The cement layer in this kind of house is not very thick, and it is only 20 centimeters long. After smashing the ground and removing the large pieces of cement, the soil surface was exposed after a while.
Luoyang's shovel was useless at this time. Although the water pump was a bit tough, he worked very hard. He first used a pointed pick to break up the soil layer, then dug down with a flat shovel, and threw the excavated soil into a small cart.
, Sanbao was pushing the cart and quickly dumping the soil behind the house.
The work was proceeding in an orderly manner. Yang Kun sat on the chair and watched everything with satisfaction. He took out a chocolate candy, tore it open, ate it, and threw the candy wrapper out the window.
After digging for more than an hour, when he saw that the speed had slowed down, Yang Kun said: "Hurry up, if you can't do it anymore, just think about 50,000 yuan. Think about how much money that is."
After listening to the sound, the water pump felt like a blood pump.
"Ah, fifty thousand."
"Ah, fifty thousand!"
The water pump shouts and works at the same time.
"Oops! Brother Yang, there's a big fucking rock here."
"Idiot, rocks can't do it!"
"If you can't do it, come and help me."
The two of them were at the bottom of the pit, struggling to lift the stone up.
"You are my father, just stay there and watch." Sanbao waved to me.
Sanbao and I lifted the stone and threw it into the cart.
He said with some dissatisfaction: "It's just this trip, I'm going to replace the two of us, don't just let me push the cart."
I immediately took over with a smile: "Brother Bao, just rest and I'll be there."
"I'm not saying you won't work," San Bao said as he immediately let go of the cart.
In fact, I have been reluctant to step forward before because I wanted to be lazy, I didn’t want to push the cart, and I didn’t want to dig the soil.
There was only a big stone in the car, so I pushed the car and walked towards the back of the house.
There is a door in the northwest corner of this floor. When you open the door, you face Nanshan. There is an open space behind the house. The ground is full of gravel, branches, and a mound of earth.
I wanted to push onto the mound and lift the truck, but I ran out of energy halfway through.
"Hey, hey..."
I moved back together with my car.
The cart overturned and the big stone rolled to one side.
After shaking it with my flashlight, I saw a rag that looked like a cuff at the base of the gable.
"What the hell is this."
Pull a piece out of the soil.
"These tattered clothes... are blue, how come... they look like the upper body of the clothes the fat man is wearing in the photo..."
"not...."
I took a shovel and dug down a few shovels, only to find a rotten cotton-padded jacket.
I breathed a sigh of relief. I was afraid that I would dig out heads, arms, legs, etc. It would just be an ordinary piece of tattered clothes.
At about three o'clock in the middle of the night, before four o'clock, the depth of the pit had reached five meters, so we erected a ladder.
At this point, there is no need to dig down. To move forward, we need to dig a small door in the earth wall and dig a tunnel directly to the ancient pagoda.
The water pump, Ma Aiping, and the three of them had dirt on their clothes and hair, and they were hiding in the pit, sitting and smoking, with their shovels leaning against the wall.
Yang Kun bit the chocolate candy in his mouth and looked down.
"Have you finished pumping? After pumping, continue to work. The height is 1.3 meters. You can unlock the door of the pump so that you can continue to work tomorrow."
The water pump held a cigarette in his mouth, patted the dirt on his head vigorously, stood up and said: "Don't rush me, boss, Tingting and I are not so tired from exercising. My back hurts because of fatigue. I have to take some supplements tomorrow."
"Rolling ball," Yang Kun scolded with a smile: "It's good that Tingting didn't crush your kid to death. She almost weighs 180 pounds."
"hey-hey...."
Shui Pump smiled and said that was last year, and this year Tingting is already 190.
"Boss! Boss!"
They said so and so was arriving, and while they were talking, Tingting ran over panting.
"I'm talking about you, you need to lose weight." Yang Kun teased with a smile.
"No...it's not good!"
Tingting gasped and pointed to the door: "Two people came over with flashlights. They came out of the cultural preservation center. It seems they are coming for us!"
The smile on Yang Kun's face disappeared instantly.
He was a little flustered and in a hurry he leaned against the window and looked out.
In fact, I didn’t have to lean against the window to see it. I saw two flashlights outside.
"Don't mess around."
"Brother Yang, come here quickly, don't look."
I immediately commanded: "Brother Pump, the three of you are in the pit, put down the shovels, don't make any noise, and quickly cover the board with the three packs."
Sanbao was sweating profusely and covered the robbery hole with a board.
I rolled out the carpet and covered the entire board with carpet.
Seeing that Tingting was still dazed, I couldn't help but push her and cursed:
"Damn it, you're still standing there, lie down now."
