Chapter 613: Master Wall Builder
North of Changyang City.
Ma Guan Yi.
Chen Wanjia stared blankly at the road, thinking of nothing, moving not, standing not. If it weren't for the attire of a migrant worker and the posture of a big horse and golden sword, and the sign in front of him writing "Master Wall Builder," people might have mistaken him for an enlightened monk.
His face was full of beards, almost covering half of his face. Although his eyes were tired, they were spiritless. His thin, dry body didn't look like he had much strength.
A foreman looking for workers took a fancy to his silence, walked over, and said: "240 a day, do you want to do it?"
"No," Chen Wanjia refused without thinking.
The foreman was stunned. In his experience, that kind of worker who knows how to handle things would often say 240 is not good, 260 is better. Workers who can't speak often default to this price, and then be peeled by him.
A worker who has work but doesn't do it is the first time he has seen it.
The foreman felt inexplicably unhappy: "If you don't do work, what are you squatting here for?"
Chen Wanjia moved the sign in front of him and said: "Master, 500 a day!"
The foreman smiled: "You say master is master, like this, try work first, you really do well, we will talk later."
"Try work at least 450."
"Where is there such a high price for trying work? I'll count 260 for you for trying work, no more." The foreman didn't think about giving him 500 wages, so he first used the excuse of trying work to lower the price.
Chen Wanjia stared at the foreman and said: "Try work for only one day, minimum 300. No problem, the second day I want 600."
The foreman pretended to be tangled and said: "Okay, 300 is 300!"
"The second day I want 600!" Chen Wanjia emphasized.
The foreman said: "Trying work for one day can't see anything..."
"That's it!" Chen Wanjia bit his mouth and didn't loosen it.
The foreman pretended to hesitate again: "Okay, okay, you get in the car, I'll call two more people."
"If you lie to people, I won't let you go," Chen Wanjia's tone was very solemn, and the light of wanting to change the world shone in his eyes!
The foreman didn't care. He spent half of his time in this job arguing and quarreling.
Chen Wanjia followed several other workers, sat in a Wuling Hongguang that could still pull goods in the rear compartment, and went to the renovation site, a large three-bedroom house on the first floor with a yard and a basement.
Seeing this house, Chen Wanjia couldn't help but brighten his eyes.
Although it was slightly different from the house in his dreams, the basement on the first floor was simply too perfect. Chen Wanjia could imagine that if he owned such a house, it would be too convenient to bury people in the future.
By then, when the basement was full of burials, he would build a wall upwards, and he could bury many more people.
Chen Wanjia didn't plan how long to live. If he could fill the basement, he felt that he had contributed to the world in his life, and it could be considered changing the world!
Chen Wanjia worked hard for a day and didn't slack off at all.
In the evening, the foreman gave him 300 yuan of construction fees as promised.
Chen Wanjia wanted cash, and the foreman didn't think much about it. Most of the people who are still willing to come to work now don't believe in mobile payments. They prefer cash.
Before leaving, Chen Wanjia asked: "Is my wage 600 tomorrow?"
"Try work for another day tomorrow, and we'll talk later," the foreman smiled.
Chen Wanjia's expression began to calm down, and he asked: "Did I do a bad job today?"
"You did a good job, but trying work is not about you doing well, it's about both of us being satisfied, right?"
"Then I won't come tomorrow. Give me 450 today, and give me another 150."
"Look at whether I look like 150!" The foreman's tone also became strong: "If you don't want to come, get out. Ma Guan Yi is not a place for you to be wild!"
"We agreed, 300 for trying work today, and 600 for formal master work tomorrow."
"Didn't I give you 300?"
"I'll do another day for 600 tomorrow."
"You continue to come tomorrow, I'll count 450 for you, let's go step by step, right?"
"Masters all start at 600."
"You do a few days of 450, and when we are familiar, I'll count 600 for you."
Chen Wanjia's expression began to become solemn: "You lied to me!"
"This is not called lying, this is market choice, right? You choose to try work, and I also have the right to choose how much to pay you. You can't want as much as you want..." The foreman used both soft and hard tactics, not afraid of this kind of migrant worker at all.
If he were tough and savage enough, where would he need to leave his hometown to work? It wouldn't work for him to be a foreman locally like him.
Chen Wanjia really didn't continue to struggle, lowered his head, and went out.
In the evening, in the rented farmhouse, Chen Wanjia casually fed Shang Shang Shang Geyong some water, and while touching the back of his head, he muttered: "There are many liars now. After you are reincarnated, don't lie to people. The mouths of liars will stick out."
"Old people say that liars don't die well. I see many who don't die well, and many who live more comfortably than me."
"The foreman doesn't do human things. I have to make him not die well today. I'll take the quicklime here first, and buy new ones for you later. Ah."
Chen Wanjia patted Shang Shang Shang Geyong and unraveled the broken cloth stuffed in Shang Shang Shang Geyong's mouth.
Shang Shang Shang Geyong twisted twice and hurriedly said: "Let me go, I still have money saved abroad, I'll give it all to you."
After speaking, he gasped.
Chen Wanjia snorted and said: "The gold in your villa hasn't been dug for me yet. If you dare to lie to me, I will bury you alive, do you know?"
"I know, I know. Don't bury me, the gold in my villa should still be there, let me think again." Shang Shang Shang Geyong said, closing his eyes and thinking. He was already very tired. From the moment he got on the car, Shang Shang Shang Geyong was tied up by Chen Wanjia. At first, he tied his thumbs, then he was tied up, and now he was tied like a pig, lying on the ground, like a chicken waiting to be slaughtered.
And it was belly down, with his navel against the cold ground, which was very easy to catch a stomach cold.
Shang Shang Shang Geyong was very painful, but he was still persisting.
The only reason Chen Wanjia left him without killing him was that Shang Shang Shang Geyong claimed that there was gold buried in his hometown.
Chen Wanjia believed it. Because if he had money, he felt he would handle it this way too. Chen Wanjia's ideal was to buy a house with a basement and a yard, preferably locally without leaving. It would be fine if he built it himself.
By then, if he had corpses, he would bury them in the basement, and if he had money, he would also bury them in the basement.
Shang Shang Shang Geyong hit the mark by mistake and saved his life. The key was that there was really gold buried in the yard of the villa he bought in his hometown. Not only gold, but also Daughter Red and Yuan Datou.
Shang Shang Shang Geyong took Chen Wanjia to the villa in his hometown and dug for a few days in a pretentious manner. Fortunately, he dug up gold, so he lingered for a few more days, then dug Yuan Datou, dug Daughter Red...
The yard was basically dug up. The so-called gold that Shang Shang Shang Geyong had was purely a trick.
Chen Wanjia guessed it, but he didn't kill Shang Shang Shang Geyong directly because he wasn't ready, hadn't found a place to bury the corpse, and hadn't bought suitable quicklime.
Chen Wanjia was worried that killing Shang Shang Shang Geyong in advance would stink, so he spared his life.
For Chen Wanjia, killing was no longer a problem. He didn't even consider being caught, and how to explain the evidence hidden under the bed. He also knew very well in his heart that as long as he was caught, explaining was a waste of time. Furthermore, he was not willing to lie to people.
Shang Shang Shang Geyong, however, could only lie to people to barely survive.
Chen Wanjia therefore sneered at Shang Shang Shang Geyong: "People like you don't have a single true word in your mouth, no matter how you kill, it's not too much."
He felt that he was much more noble than Shang Shang Shang Geyong.
"I can get you Bitcoin, put it in a U-disk, and you won't be afraid to go anywhere in the world," Shang Shang Shang Geyong gasped and started today's attempt.
Chen Wanjia bent down and stuffed the broken cloth back into Shang Shang Shang Geyong's mouth, saying: "These are all lying things, don't play them when you go down, you know."
Just after stuffing Shang Shang Shang Geyong back under the bed, a knock on the door sounded:
"Hello, is anyone there? Checking the electric meter." ===== CHAPTER 614 =====
