Chapter 1015: Chapter 1015: Gloomy

Liu Lingxiu walked ahead, with Ye Qiu following behind, and she remained silent.

When they arrived at the entrance of Daqing Supermarket, Ye Qiu noticed there were still quite a few people queuing up to check out, and Liu Daqing and Zhang Yuehong were almost too busy to handle it.

"I’ll head in first then."

As Liu Lingxiu went inside, Ye Qiu didn’t go any further.

When Ye Qiu was heading back towards Peach Blossom Spring Villa, Liu Daqing and his wife saw their daughter return, and Zhang Yuehong asked, "Lingshow, where did you and Ye Qiu go today?"

"We went over to General Mountain."

Liu Lingxiu replied.

Liu Daqing and his wife suddenly remembered something about the afternoon; earlier, He Butcher and his wife came to the store to shop and mentioned wanting Liu Lingxiu and He Xiaoqing to interact more.

Liu Daqing and his wife were acquainted with He Butcher and his wife and knew that in the past, Ye Weidong wanted Ye Qiu to be with He Xiaoqing.

However, Liu Daqing and his wife didn’t know them well, and they didn’t understand why He Butcher and his wife would say those things to them.

The couple was unaware that when Ye Qiu was buying a house for Liu Daqing and his wife, he almost bought a house in He Butcher’s neighborhood.

It was just by seeing them there that Ye Qiu decided to buy elsewhere, not expecting that He Butcher and his wife would now also know about this supermarket.

When most of the customers had checked out and left, Zhang Yuehong brought up the matter of encountering He Butcher’s family in the afternoon.

Liu Lingxiu knew more than her parents and knew that Ye Qiu didn’t want to get close to He Xiaoqing’s family, although she personally felt that He Xiaoqing was a bit pitiful.

However, over the years, Ye Qiu and He Xiaoqing never had any feelings for each other, and whatever debts there were, the Ye Family had already cleared them.

Instead, she heard that He Butcher and his wife borrowed money from others, and instead of repaying it when they had money, they bought a house.

"I know, Mom and Dad."

"And what do you think?"

Zhang Yuehong asked.

"Ye Qiu said not to get too close to their family."

"I’m also puzzled as to why that family would tell me these things; I’m not familiar with them."

Zhang Yuehong said puzzlingly.

...

Ye Qiu returned to the Peach Blossom Source Villa Community, first took a shower, then turned on the computer, logged into "Monster Continent," and continued playing the game.

Now Luo Yang, Li Shen, Zhu Zhiming, Zhou Shaohui, and the "Angry Little Loli" were all playing games over the National Day holiday, but Ye Qiu had his own things to do and had to cultivate, which left him rarely playing games.

Now he played until eleven o’clock at night, and after logging out of the game and shutting down the computer, he continued cultivating the Primordial Five Emperors Technique in his room.

Although the Mid-Autumn Festival had passed, the moon before and after the festival was very full, and the Moonlight Essence was at its purest, which was perfect for his cultivation.

...

At this time, in the Su Family and the Su Group’s real estate company, after acquiring that piece of unfinished buildings in the morning, for the real estate company, time meant money.

Although nowadays, the longer land is hoarded, the more valuable it becomes, like before it might be a few hundred per square, but hoarded until now it rises to thousands per square.

However, now that the Su Family and the Su Group’s real estate company had acquired these unfinished buildings, regarding future construction, although the planning drawings had not yet come out, they certainly had to fence off the area and clear all the remaining structures inside.

Even the structures left from the unfinished buildings and the foundations inside might need to be entirely cleared away.

And it had been abandoned for so long, the weeds and plants inside grew very long.

The first step was to fence off this area to prevent outsiders from entering.

So, as soon as the Su Family and the Su Group’s real estate company acquired the land, the related construction crew went in to prepare to either simply build a brick wall outside or use steel sheets to fence it off.

From daytime to nighttime, these construction workers did not stop because it was different from the urban area.

In the urban area, work had to stop at night because others needed to rest, and it certainly couldn’t disturb the residents.

But in this area of unfinished buildings, at a glance, there were either mountains or highways, or no people around, so under these circumstances, working from daytime to nighttime, and then continuing from nighttime to daytime, wouldn’t be disturbed by anyone.

Therefore, the construction workers took turns to keep working.

However, during the day, they didn’t feel anything unusual.

But when the sun set, the workers started feeling a mysterious sensation in the area, wondering if it was because autumn was setting in as Mid-Autumn had just passed, making the nights in Jinling start to turn cold.

These workers, who were sweating while working shirtless, now felt a chill creeping in.

"Isn’t it getting chilly?"

One of the construction crew members looked at a colleague who was clearing weeds and asked.

"The sun’s gone, and the wind’s blowing, that’s normal."

"I’m not talking about that; I feel like there’s something seeping in here, as if something is watching us."

"What could possibly be here? We’ve seen everything there is to see in engineering teams."

The crew members were indeed quite ordinary, but truly, other places, whether they were wild mountains, wilderness, or underground places, were not foreign to them.

As for so-called cemeteries, graveyards, bones, and the like, they had seen plenty.

After all, countless things had been buried underground for thousands of years.

The crew member listening to his colleague’s words wasn’t very afraid but couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off.

...

They worked inside the unfinished buildings till late at night because the relevant supervisors would come to inspect the next day.

So, all the weeds had to be cleared beforehand.

But deep into the night, strangely enough, all the previously operational bulldozers suddenly lost power, and all the lights went out.

Without lights, work couldn’t continue; when some workers checked the excavators and other machinery, they found all lights inexplicably turned off.

But they couldn’t figure out what had caused it.

"What should we do?"

With no alternatives, the construction team’s supervisor instructed the workers to bring gasoline and diesel, pouring it around the perimeter of the unfinished buildings. They used the current autumn wind and the dry and withered weeds to ignite a fire to burn away the weeds, as it was far less cumbersome than manual clearing.

Indeed, once they set the fire, aided by the autumn wind and dry weeds, the fire rapidly grew larger, engulfing the area surrounding the unfinished buildings.

Now they just needed to monitor the fire, ensuring it didn’t spread to the mountains.

However, two ordinary-looking men, one appearing to be in his sixties or seventies and rather thin, the other in his forties with a bit of a belly, watched from afar.

The two of them were surprised at the sight of the large flames in the distance and the machinery of the engineering team outside.

The area was so eerie that they wouldn’t dare to step inside, yet these reckless construction workers dared to go in.

The two men shook their heads and quickly disappeared from the vicinity.
