For civil engineering projects, there are many factors that lead to delays.
bad weather,
The supplier's delivery is not on time,
An unexpected safety incident occurred and I was ordered to stop work for rectification.
Halfway through the construction, I realized that the silly plan for a certain node on the drawing could not be realized, so I had to report it to the design institute for urgent modifications.
Some of these factors are natural disasters and some are man-made disasters.
In short, man-made disasters must be strictly guarded against in every engineering project.
Therefore, there are two rules that must be followed.
'When entering a construction site, you must wear a safety helmet.'
as well as,
'No idlers allowed!'
...
The weather is very bad today.
It was already 9 o'clock in the morning, but almost no one was out at this time.
All the livestock were crowded in the farmhouse with their heads down.
Dark clouds covered the sun, thunder and lightning struck, and strong winds and rain.
Li Jia stayed in the tower of the castle, looking at the power of nature outside the window, frowning.
He boasted about Haikou and said that it would only take 3 years to rebuild the castle.
Could it be, a little bit, out of control?
Chuyang mentioned that the climate of the island is not good all year round.
But Li Jiasu didn’t expect that,
The whole island seems to be cursed,
During the 17 days that I traveled through time,
The 9-day period is ‘good weather’ – cloudy but not raining in the morning, sun rising at noon, and sunset at 6 o’clock in the evening;
The 5-day period was "normal weather" - it started to rain lightly in the morning, stopped raining in the afternoon, but it was still cloudy and it was difficult to see the sun until the sun went down;
The three days (including today) were "bad weather" - thunder started to explode in the early morning, dark clouds accumulated until morning, heavy rain and thunder began to rage, and it gradually weakened until the evening, and it cleared up at night, and it must be "good weather" the next day
.
This ** is simply a purgatory for civil servants!
Chuyang, is there something wrong with your family’s broken island?!
Li Jiasu sighed and closed the window.
Leaving the tower, he called one of the housekeeper's men, carrying a piece of chalk and a wooden ruler, and put on a wax-sealed raincoat.
The devil and his servant walked towards the farm.
Time should not be wasted. Since construction cannot be carried out due to weather conditions, let’s give cultural lessons to the Sleifs during the day.
It is necessary to improve their Spanish level to basic level as soon as possible so that they can communicate with local people.
**Conflict is a very sensitive issue.
To assimilate, not to exclude.
...
In many legendary adventure stories, the starting place of the heroes is often ordinary.
Taverns, festival squares, sailing ships, morgues.
Regardless of whether the stories are true or false, for the bards, these places close to people's daily life are the passwords of wealth that attract the interest of the gentlemen in the audience.
But now, amid the storm, a small boat slowly sailed into the port of Gusi City.
It was late in the afternoon, and the storm on the island and surrounding sea areas had weakened a lot.
Four figures, wearing tanned cowhide raincoats, stepped onto the seawall.
"Pick us up in two months. Remember to bring a few bottles of wine from the cellar."
"Okay, Master."
The boat sailed away from the port in heavy wind and rain.
The tax collector held an umbrella, carrying a parchment volume and a charcoal pen under his arm, and walked up to the strangers.
"If the ship is not anchored, there will be no tax. As for the four of you, the total head tax is 12 coppers..."
A Spanish gold coin was thrown in front of the tax collector's toes.
Tax collector: "..."
He bent down, picked up the gold coin, and stuffed it into his pocket.
"Tax collector, let me ask you, where are the best taverns in the city and the notary office for buying and selling houses?"
"Sir, please go west along this road, cross the market square, and turn right. There is a conspicuous and elegant house two streets away, which is the police station of our Gusi City." The tax collector paused.
After a pause, he continued.
"Our Gusi City is relatively small and there is no notary office. If you want to buy a vacant house in the city, just ask our Sheriff. He is responsible for many things."
"As for the tavern, sorry, there is only one old tavern in the city."
The Sheriff pointed to the tavern a hundred meters away, where light leaked from the cracks in the doors and windows.
"That house, yes, is the house with the sign 'A swan is drunk beside the barrel' hanging on the lintel. It is an old tavern in our city, the same age as Gusi City."
A slightly shorter figure laughed loudly at his companion beside him.
"In a remote country, I'm afraid I might use beer as liquor."
The person who had thrown the coins before just nodded coldly to the tax collector, then took steps towards the tavern.
The other figure, who was 1.8 meters tall and the tallest among the four, also walked towards the tavern.
"Ah! Master! Monk! Wait for us!"
The remaining two people shouted and quickly followed.
The tax collector held an umbrella and stood in the rain, watching the four strangers enter the tavern.
Thinking silently,
It is estimated that the island is not peaceful.
...
The door shaft made a sour "squeaking" sound,
Raindrops followed the boots across the threshold and dripped onto the wooden floor.
The drinkers who had spare money to drink and brag at this time quietly moved themselves to the corner again.
The young waiter was behind the bar and looked at the four foreigners.
Three people sat down directly at a round table, and another person came to the bar.
The dripping hood was taken off, revealing a handsome but slightly thin cheek of a young man.
He looks like a young man in his early 20s.
"A cup of the mellowest ginger wine you have here, two large cups of ale with some brown sugar, and a cocktail. It is best to use the original liquid that is more than 5 years old as the base, and add lemon peel, if you have it in the store."
"For my portion, shake well, don't stir."
The waiter Hadir nodded, turned around and rummaged through the cabinet to find some bottles of good wine that had been gathering dust for a long time.
"This guest, the three wines you ordered, especially the mixed wine, will be a little more expensive."
Hadir found the base ingredients and auxiliary ingredients from the cabinet and prepared to mix the wine.
"The total price is about 14 pieces of silver..."
A gold coin was placed on the bar.
"No need to look for it, just send it to you immediately."
Hadir: "..."
The young man who threw the gold coins turned away from the bar and sat down at the round table.
The foreigners took off their hoods, chatted quietly, and waited for the waiter to bring the wine.
"Master, after the settlement is completed, my brother and I need about 2 gold coins to purchase some necessary things in the city, supplies and equipment to go deep into the island, furniture for the settlement, and other necessities."
A shorter man in his 30s nodded and bowed to the young man while preaching.
"Well, you and your brother go deal with these things. I'll give you three days." The young man said, casually taking out 2 gold coins from his pocket and sliding them on the table to the short man.
The drinkers in the corner stared blankly.
Damn it! A noble from the kingdom?!
At the round table, the elder brother of the two brothers asked the young man in a low voice: "Master, do you need me to send a letter to the local lord and ask him to entertain us and meet you?"
The young man waved his hand, "No need. We can just concentrate on our own business."
"Besides, there is no need to make friends with a family that has declined."
He said coldly.
Soon, the waiter brought four glasses of wine on a wooden tray.
Hadir first placed the cocktail in a ceramic cup in front of the young man.
Then, he asked this distinguished guest with his eyes, how to divide the other three glasses of wine?
"Give the ale to the two brothers." The young man pointed to his men.
"Ginger wine, for the monk."
Hadir then handed the three glasses of wine in oak cups to the corresponding guests.
The young waiter had a quick mind and carefully observed the four guests in just a few seconds.
The generous young man should be the young master of a noble family in the kingdom.
Two brothers, about 30 years old, have calluses on their finger joints and look like guards.
But it doesn’t have to be just a guard.
Hadir remembered that his father had been a bandit in the past.
Who doesn’t have a few brushes when trying to make a living outside?
As for the fourth person...
The man who was called the 'monk' by the aristocratic young man had short hair with a color between golden red and reddish brown.
Wearing a combination mask made of gold on his face.
A 'cryer' mask.
Moreover, under the raincoat, he wore a metal half-armor engraved with religious patterns.
Hadir's facial muscle control was very strong, and there was no shock on his face.
But there was already a storm in his heart.
I heard it said by merchants and pirates myself,
In the Kingdom of Spain, there is only one type of person who wears a gold 'Weeper' mask and is equipped with blessed half-body armor or full-body armor.
【Holy Atonement】Church,
Inquisition,
Punishment Knight!
A knight of condemnation who is directly under the crown of the Holy See, excommunicates apostates and kills heretics!
The young waiter's expression remained unchanged, but his calves were trembling slightly.
Seriously, could it be that Chu Yang’s family’s dirty little secret was discovered by the church?
You have to tell that idiot right away!
He turned around and was about to return to the bar.
"Waiter, wait a moment, I have a question to ask you." The voice of a noble young man sounded from behind the waiter.
Hadir turned around with a business smile on his face.
"Dear guest, please tell me?"
The noble young man rubbed his hands and asked, "Are there any rumors about pirate treasures or mysterious monsters on your island?"
"Or some other unique local rumors."
Hadir was stunned for a moment, then thought for a few seconds and replied:
"There are really no rumors about pirate treasures. If there were such things, would I still be working hard in the tavern?"
The noble young man laughed when he heard this answer.
"Well, keep talking."
So, the waiter continued: "About the mysterious monster, ah, or rather, there is indeed a unique local legend in Gusi City."
"Um, four distinguished guests, I would like to ask boldly first, are you here...?"
The noble young man looked at the waiter and said slowly: "According to the decree of His Majesty the King of Spain, we are collecting and capturing rare monsters throughout the country."
"The four of us are adventurers."
Hadir nodded thoughtfully, "Oh, some of you are adventurers."
A smile appeared on the cold face of the noble young man: "Yes, we are adventurers."
He lied.
The four of them are indeed here for adventure.
But their real purpose is not to 'help His Majesty the King collect and capture rare monsters'.
The noble young man threw a gold coin to Hadir.
The shining gold coin draws a parabola in the air,
It fell firmly into the waiter's hands.
"Tell me what you know." The noble young man said.
Putting away the gold coins, Hadir nodded and continued to tell the local rumors.
"Although our island is very big, the only places where people are really inhabited are this port, this small town, and the lord's castle."
"It is said that seventy or eighty years ago, some hunters and idlers went exploring deep in the valley in the center of the island."
"As a result, less than half a month later, they panicked and fled back in embarrassment."
"They said..."
The four foreigners all pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
"They encountered one in the depths of the island. It was about 10 meters tall, covering an area of about 15 feet by 15 feet, as big as a small hill. It was fierce and terrifying -"
"——Five·shou·big·white·geese!"
The noble young man was stunned.
Seeing that the other party didn't seem to believe it, the waiter danced and gestured,
"Hey, it's true! Do you know the white goose in poultry?"
"A goose with a long neck, white feathers, a flat beak and a 'quacking' sound."
"Those people went deep into the center of the island, and what they encountered was a terrifying big white goose!"
"As big as a hill! It has five necks and five heads!"
"Five big white geese!"
The waiter described it with foaming at the mouth.
‘Whoa!’ The edge of the dagger touched Hadir’s neck.
The shorter guard raised his sword with one hand and said angrily: "Boy, are you kidding us?"
"Are you looking for death?"
In the corner of the tavern, a drinker saw the waiter being threatened by a stranger. He rolled up his sleeves, picked up his chair, and tried to rush over to rescue the waiter.
But he was held tightly by others.
"It's dangerous! Look at other people's equipment and wallets. Don't be impulsive!"
The enthusiastic drinker was held back by other villagers and was unable to rush over.
"Dear guest, I'm not kidding you."
Even with the sword pointed at his neck, Hadir remained calm and said loudly:
"The rumor I told is true. If you don't believe it, just ask a few adult freedmen. We locals have all heard this rumor since childhood."
The drinkers in the corner of the tavern also started making noises.
"Yes! Little Hadir is telling the truth!"
"This story about the five big white geese was told by my mother when I was 5 years old!"
"Outlander! Later in the day, when the rain stops and the weather clears up, go and ask any locals on the street! Whoever says they haven't heard this strange story, I'll break their legs!
"
The noble young man's face turned ugly, and he glared at his subordinates fiercely.
"This story is too outrageous, five big white geese? Why not talk about five evil dragons?" The shorter guard muttered and took back his dagger.
The aristocratic young man had a cold face and drank a cocktail with his head down.
It is impossible to apologize, and I will never apologize in this life.
How can a noble apologize to a commoner?
At this time, the monk wearing a golden mask looked at the shorter guard.
"Binxi, you are angry with others, which is the third original sin."
"What's more, the waiter didn't lie to us. He told us honestly, but in return, you turned his sword against us."
"Apologise to him, Binsy, and don't do the same thing again."
The shorter guard shrank his neck and then lowered his head to the waiter.
"My sin is great."
(my, great, guilty.)
"I was abrupt and angry earlier. I'm sorry, little brother."
He first chanted the official motto of the Church of the Atoning Lord, and then apologized to the waiter.
Hadir was stunned for a few seconds,
Then, he bowed slightly to the Crime Knight and thanked him.
Afterwards, he returned to the bar, picked up a piece of white cotton cloth, and wiped several empty glasses.
The fingers trembled slightly.
Although the other party's voice was somewhat muffled due to the covering of the golden mask,
