The Soul Is In Everything Chapter 5

The excitement on the Internet is not as good as the construction site contractors who get the work. Many contractors have a group of brothers under them, and they also need some connections on the construction side. Sometimes, in order to get new work, drinking and eating are indispensable.

Bruce was very capable. Not long after finishing the work on the construction site, he received his wages and then got a new job. The brothers who worked with him were willing to call him Brother Zhao.

Since the story of Lucas saving Lao Zhang's son spread all over the construction site, Lucas has become familiar with these old workers. I don't know if it's a rumor or if these people have the same accent problem as Lao Zhang, but now everyone on the construction site calls him Xiao Hu. Fortunately, Lucas doesn't care about these things. Xiao Fu, Xiao Hu or Xiao Hua makes no difference.

At noon that day, Lucas was drinking the pig's trotter soup that Eric brought him. He heard the sirens outside. Curiously, he pushed open the curtain of the shed and saw that everyone else was running out. He asked in a hoarse voice: "Where are you going?"

"Someone is trying to commit suicide at the construction site ahead. Do you want to go and take a look?" The man who answered Lucas was named Chen. He was almost 40 years old and still unmarried. Everyone called him Chen Laoguang, but he didn't mind. He happily responded when others called him that. He was quite popular on the construction site.

Lucas was just bored, and seeing that everyone else was joining in the fun, he felt that he should be more sociable.

"Okay, let's go take a look together."

On the top floor of the unfinished building, a middle-aged woman wearing a floral shirt and black cloth loose pants sat on the edge of the top floor. The weed-covered ground was crowded with people.

Peng Hang, who arrived after receiving the call, pulled his sweat-soaked police uniform and turned around to tell others to prepare the inflatable cushion. The abandoned construction site was rugged and uneven, with some grass taller than a person, so rescue vehicles could not get in and all rescue equipment had to be carried in by people.

"Sister, it's so hot outside. If you have anything to say, please come down and talk to us. As the saying goes, if you have any trouble, find the police. As long as you come down, we will definitely help you." Peng Hang gestured to his colleagues from other departments, indicating that they should sneak into the building quietly.

The middle-aged woman was emotionally unstable. She cried and apologized to Peng Hang, saying that she didn't want to trouble everyone, but she really had no choice. Because she was too emotional, she kept leaning forward and would fall from the building if she wasn't careful.

It turned out that this woman's husband died of illness two years ago, and she had a child who needed to go to school. She had no skills, so she could only work on the construction site and use herself as a man. Who knew that after working for half a year, the contractor ran away with the money. Now her child is seriously ill, and the hospital is asking her for medical expenses. She has been asking people everywhere but still can't get enough money. She has no choice but to live.

This woman, who was less than 40 years old, looked dark, thin and shrunken, like a pickled radish that had been drained of all its moisture. Her crying was so sad and fierce that Peng Hang felt a little scared. He wiped the sweat off his face and cursed his colleagues in a low voice, "Capitalists today are really worthless!"

After he finished scolding, he turned his head to look outside the cordon, put his hands on his h!ps and sneered: "It's so hot, but there are still people watching the fun. Tell those who are watching to stop making trouble. It would be bad if they irritate the person involved and cause someone to die."

"Boss, those outside are migrant workers from a nearby construction site. They don't have much to do on a normal day, so when something like this happens, how can they not join in the fun?" His colleague Xiao Yang responded and turned to communicate with the migrant workers who were watching the fun.

Chen Laoguang put his palm on his head and sighed to Lucas, "Alas, this kind of contractor who takes the money and runs away is really a piece of sh!t."

Lucas didn't say anything, because he didn't really understand the human spirit of sacrificing everything for others.

"Fellow villagers, we are trying to persuade the person involved. Please do not say anything that may provoke her." A very young policeman came over. He looked like he had just been pulled out of the water, with sweat all over his head and face. "She has a seriously ill child at home. If anything happens to her, the child will be in pity."

The scene fell silent.

After a while, a migrant worker finally spoke up: "This girl has had a hard time too. Police comrade, you must catch the person who ran away with the money."

Xiao Yang smiled bitterly. Facing the dark faces, he nodded and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely try our best."

The negotiation didn't seem to go smoothly. I don't know what the woman who jumped off the building thought of. She stood up and obviously didn't want to live anymore. There was a burst of exclamations at the scene. Peng Hang shouted in a hurry: "Sister, think about your son. He is still waiting for you to go back to see him."

The woman covered her face and cried, "I am sorry for him. I am a useless person."

After saying this, she wiped away her tears, closed her eyes and prepared to jump.

"I have an ancestral medicine that can cure your son!"

The voice was loud and bright, and very penetrating. I don’t know if it was an illusion, but they even felt that the words penetrated their eardrums and entered their hearts.

The woman opened her eyes again and looked around, trying to find the person who was speaking.

Peng Hang breathed a sigh of relief temporarily. At this moment, lying was not called cheating, but a strategy.

Lucas entered the cordon, looked up at the woman, and met her eyes: "Come down, I promise to cure your son."

Peng Hang looked at the young man in front of him. He was wearing a knockoff Aidas T-shirt, floral shorts, and his slippers were covered in dust. He must be a migrant worker at a nearby construction site.

But this child is too honest. It would be strange if he could fool anyone by telling such a lie that would be exposed as soon as it was revealed.

Who knew that the next second the woman standing on the roof shook her body and actually turned around and walked back. The firefighter hiding at the window sill downstairs had not yet reacted.

Two minutes later, a thin, dark woman ran out of the corridor. She held Lucas tightly with her dry hands, and her eyes were emitting a fiery light. If this fire was put out, she would probably not survive.

"Of course." Lucas nodded, "I never lie."

Xiao Yang approached Peng Hang, looking at the scene in front of him with a smile on his face: "Boss, what should we do now?"

"What else can we do? We have to go to the hospital with them first. The patient is still emotionally unstable. If we leave now, I'm afraid she will be upset." He took a deep breath, grimacing in the sun. "Let's go. We have to save the patient to the end. We have to see the Buddha off to the west. The sun has already set. One more trip won't be a big deal."

He looked back at the young man who was held tightly by the woman. Peng Hang's face was filled with worry. Where should they go to help the young man find the "ancestral elixir" later?

The demon world management group and the cultivation management group are in the same office building. One is in charge of non-humans and the other is in charge of humans. They occasionally have conflicts in private, but they dare not make it too big.

When Max arrested the evil demon, the whole building was onlookers. There were demons among the employees working in this office building, but in order to catch the evil demon, several employees were injured in the past few days. Although Max was an outstanding disciple of Qingxiao Sect, his cultivation was still shallow. When did he become more powerful than the backbone of the management office?

"May the Three Pure Ones bless us." After seeing the full appearance of the evil demon, Lao Huang from the cultivation group took two or three steps back. "This white-headed man with red feet looks very much like a ferocious beast in the legend."

"Like what?" Sarah couldn't stand Lao Huang's pretending to be deep, and sneered, "No matter what he is, he has been caught by our demon world management team anyway."

"Don't be impatient, Miss Xu." Old Huang stroked the few sparse whiskers on his chin with a smile, "This beast is called Griffin, and it is said to be very powerful. However, the records about it have been cut off after the Han and Tang Dynasties. I didn't expect that such a monster really exists in the world."

"I thought it was something else, but it turned out to be just a weasel." Griffin was tied up and couldn't move. He glanced at Lao Huang with drooping eyelids, showing the arrogance of an ancient demon king. "This kind of little thing is only worthy of being killed for fun by me."

Old Huang was not angry either, and continued with a smile: "It is rumored that Griffin was very cruel. It was recorded in the unofficial history of the Han Dynasty that Griffin was unhappy for a moment, which led to the two countries fighting each other, resulting in hundreds of thousands of casualties."

Everyone gasped. Hundreds of thousands of lives were just a joke in the eyes of this monster? When they looked at Griffin again, there was a hint of fear in their eyes.

"Mr. Zhang, have you met someone who can help you?" Old Huang pointed at the black whip tied to Griffin's body, "What is the origin of this whip? It can even control vicious beasts?"

Max looked at the whip in his hand and said, "The monster who lent me the whip said that this is called a demon whip."

Old Huang thought about it for a long time, but couldn't remember the origin of the whip. He said with emotion: "I think he must be a rare master. We should thank him very much."

"The master said that there's no need to thank him, we just need to give him the reward for bravery." Max laughed dryly, "Besides, he's not a master, he got the magic whip by accident."

How could a true master care about this little bonus for bravery and go to the construction site to earn money? As far as he knew, a truly high-level human or monster only needed to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, and no longer needed to eat mundane things.

Only those who have not yet reached a high level of cultivation need to eat to fill their hunger.

He told everyone what he knew, and everyone agreed to give this enthusiastic monster a bonus, and even gave him a spiritual cultivation pill. Cultivation is not easy, and although this enthusiastic monster's behavior is not enough, he dared to risk his life to stand up and help. This fearless spirit is worthy of praise.

No one dared to remove the demon-beating whip from Griffin, and finally they decided to temporarily lock him in the Soul Locking Formation and wait for Boss Zhuang to come back to deal with him.

In the Soul Locking Formation, Griffin glared at the people outside the formation with his red eyes.

"The Emperor will return."

Listening to the foreign accent, Sarah cracked two melon seeds: "I didn't expect that monsters also have chuunibyou."

The villain who keeps saying that his boss will come back for revenge usually doesn't survive more than three episodes in a TV series.
