Chapter 7 Entering the New World for the First Time 2
Zhang Dayuan is a security guard at the Aoyue Community Phase I construction site. In addition to guarding the gate, his job is also to do night patrols.
Construction sites are generally busy with transportation work at night.
In broad daylight, if heavy trucks are constantly flowing among a group of small carapace, it is difficult to judge whether the scene is beautiful or not, but the traffic policeman's workload will double, and the hospital will receive a few more patients with high blood pressure, and the heart disease patients will definitely not run away.
Uncle Zhang's work is sacred and noble.
He held a flashlight in his hand and pushed Ding Keke, who was sleeping under the bridge, with concern on his face: "Young man, why are you sleeping under the bridge in the middle of the night?"
Seeing that the young man woke up, he asked with concern: "Are you lost? Where are your adults?"
"I...I...have no family." Ding Keke was drowsy when a bright light came in, and he woke up. He opened his eyes and saw an old man in security uniform standing in front of him, with a caring and amiable face.
"Construction trucks often pass by here at night, which is very dangerous." He looked at Ding Keke's dejected state with distress, and while saying this, he helped him clean up the weeds on his body.
"I...have nowhere to go..." Ding Keke lowered his head in embarrassment, his voice so low that only he could hear it clearly.
"What a handsome and lovely young man, which family is so lucky?" He looked at Ding Keke. At first he thought he was a mentally disturbed or drunken lunatic, but at first glance, he saw that he was a child who had run away from home.
Just as he was talking, Ding Keke's dissatisfied stomach began to make loud noises again. He had been without food for several days, and he looked down at the ground in embarrassment.
"You're hungry, don't give up. Let's go to the construction site with the uncle to eat something. Only when you're full will you have strength." He shined the flashlight in the direction of the construction site not far away, indicating that it was not far away.
"Thank you, uncle!" Tears welled up in his eyes. In addition to shaking his head and refusing in more than twenty days, Ding Keke felt warmth for the first time, and a warm current surged in his heart.
After the meal, Ding Keke briefly talked about his experience like this.
After hearing this, the uncle almost dropped the tea cup in his hand, and his anger jumped up: "In order to protect themselves, adults push a doll around. What nonsense. Rural children are in the fields when they are eleven or twelve years old.
Is it illegal to work hard to earn money by selling vegetables and grains at the age of fifteen or sixteen? Is it illegal for a baby to support himself?"
Seeing that the uncle was angry, Ding Keke hurriedly explained: "Uncle, I checked and found that the national law stipulates that child labor cannot be employed. This is also to protect minors. They are right to act in accordance with the law. It was me who wanted to be independent too much and didn't think carefully.
."
"We are human beings, and there are always difficulties. Children also have to live. Since you don't want to go back to the orphanage, why don't you do some chores on the construction site and buy food and cook for your own family? Isn't it illegal?" Uncle Zhang reached out and flicked the cigarette ashes, looking at it with distress.
Looking at the young man in front of me who has been wronged so much but still thinks of others.
"Thank you, uncle! I can endure hardships and can do anything." Ding Keke was so happy that she wanted to cry when her life was finally settled.
Ding Keke was introduced by Uncle Zhang to work in the kitchen with Aunt Zhang. He couldn't cook, so he just ran errands.
Sometimes, when the construction site was busy with work, he would help Wang Da with some simple moving work.
Wang Da is three years older than Ding Keke. He started following the villagers when he was seventeen or eight years old, doing small jobs at different construction sites. He went to the canteen to get food that day. He liked Ding Keke the first time he saw him and often asked him to do things together.
.
Most of the work done by small workers is manual and physical work, and if they are smart and have good eyesight, they can get started quickly.
"Be careful, novices can easily hurt their hands when tying steel bars." Before Wang Da finished speaking, he heard Ding Keke's "Ouch!" A steel bar was not grasped tightly and rebounded due to force, and the sharp scissors scratched Coco's left hand.
There was a small cut, and bright red blood flowed out from the wound. Wang Da quickly pressed the wound with a clean cotton cloth.
At this time, Ding Keke felt a strange sense of oppression around his body, like a car accident scene surrounded by layers of people.
Then, the little girl's silver bell-like laughter came from far and near. The sound was very pleasant, but it was fleeting.
Ding Keke raised his ears and listened attentively, and asked: "Are there any children around here? The sound is really nice."
Wang Da saw that Ding Keke didn't care about his injury at all, and said angrily: "I didn't hear that, except for the construction site workers, there are no other residents in this area. Where are the children?"
Seeing Wang Da's nervous look, Ding Ke laughed and said, "This little injury is nothing." What he said was the truth. Compared with the previous injuries in the orphanage, this injury was child's play.
evening,
Wang Da carried some fruits and went to the kitchen to find Ding Keke.
There are two large pots of shredded white radish piled on the kitchen chopping board, each of which is even and slender. The sound of "Crack" echoed around the surroundings rhythmically as Ding Keke quickly raised and lowered the knife: "Keke, the injury is better.
?"
Ding Keke raised his head and responded: "A little injury is fine, just wait for me for a few minutes and I'll finish cutting it right away."
Ding Keke put his right hand on Wang Da's shoulder and said with a smile: "Thanks to you, Aunt Zhang gives me leave, so I can finish work early."
Wang Da said happily: "Then we can listen to Uncle Zhang's business experience again!" Wang Da's ideal is to earn enough 100,000 yuan to start a business and then open a large supermarket.
Ding Keke has been feeling a strange feeling today. He can't explain it. He wants to go out for a walk and said: "I have been here for so long and I haven't gone around to take a look. I heard that this was once the settlement of the Ding clan. I and I
They were my family eight hundred years ago, and they will accompany me around."
"Xiao Si and I have been to that place and we can serve as guides. It's getting dark soon. Let's go back quickly." Wang Da pulled Ding Keke and ran towards the back mountain.
Although the main building of the legendary former residence of the Ding clan has become dilapidated after hundreds of years, it can still be easily seen from the remaining scale and structure that there were once rows of houses here and densely populated. I don’t know why.
Abandoned?
"Hahaha! You're here!" The little girl's sweet voice sounded in Ding Keke's ears, as if someone was whispering in his ears.
"Why did you lure me here on purpose?" Ding Keke stopped in front of a dilapidated house and said.
There were no lights except for ruins in the mountain. Suddenly, the wind picked up and his back felt chilly. Wang Da instinctively approached Ding Keke and whispered: "Who are you talking to?"
Ding Keke forgot for a moment that Wang Da couldn't hear the girl's voice, and he knew in his heart that he didn't know which immortal boss was the handiwork of this? Didn't he agree to let himself go free? This is just like what he sang.
The big bosses will have to face the new arrangement sooner or later. Ding Keke said to Wang Daodao: "I'll go in and take a look. You wait for me outside."
"It's so scary here, I'd better go with you." The sky was getting dark, and Wang Da looked at the dark ruins, feeling a little scared.
"Follow me!" The little girl smiled and led the way.
A gust of wind passed by, and Wang Da instantly lost consciousness and lay limply on the ground.
Ding Keke followed the lead of the voice and came to the center of the ruins. The building complex faces south and north, and there are at least twenty or thirty rooms. There are two stone lions half human height guarding the gate. Although it is dilapidated, the majesty of the past can still be seen. The hall
The front facade is in the form of an arch, and it looks like the remains of an ancestral hall.
"Ancestor, people have brought it."
"Little girl, there are no rules, don't scream." A deep, old voice floated up from the ground to the ground.
An old man with unkempt hair and a golden robe appeared in front of Ding Keke. When he saw Ding Keke, he knelt on his knees and slapped his head three times: "Ding Youdao, the 38940th generation great-grandson of the Ding family,
Pay homage to our ancestors."
Ding Keke was confused for a while. He is only 17 years old now. Even if he is from the same sect, he should respect the old man. This is such a mess. He can't figure it out: "Stop, don't recognize relatives randomly, first explain clearly what is going on.
?”
"My ancestors, our Ding clan has a special bloodline, and our blood has a special fragrance. However, the further we inherit it, the weaker the fragrance becomes. Today, the fragrance overflowing from our ancestors' blood is rich and pure. You are my Ding clan.
There is no doubt that he is the ancestor of the clan." The old man explained.
"This is too hasty. As you said, I couldn't smell it, and neither did anyone else present." It was the first time Ding Keke heard that there was this way of recognizing ancestors in the world.
The old man said cautiously: "This kind of fragrance can only be recognized by the creatures in the underworld. It will be of great help to them in improving their cultivation speed. Our ancestors must protect themselves."
"Listen to what you said, the Ding family still has medicinal value?" Ding Keke felt more and more funny the more he listened.
The old man shook his head. It seemed that a few words could not convince the old ancestor, so he resorted to his trump card.
Make a seal with both hands and tap lightly between Ding Keke's eyebrows. Ding Keke seems to have opened his eyes.
Sudden,
The body muscles tighten and the scalp feels numb.
There were at least a thousand pairs of fiery red eyes hidden in the jungle, all looking at him greedily. Ding Keke involuntarily took a few steps back.
"These are ghosts. They have been following you since morning. If it weren't for the blessing of a seal in your body, my great-great-grandson might not be able to see you, our ancestor."
When Ding Keke heard this, he felt that his life was safe, and he took back his worries: "What are you looking for me for?"
"Recognize your ancestors."
"Come again, stop, stop, just rely on strong bloodline? Are there any other proofs?" Ding Keke thought to himself, if he is the ancestor of the Ding family, how many lives has he been reincarnated? The recorded history of mankind is only tens of thousands of years. This is compared to
It's a fantasy, and it's hard to accept.
"It is recorded in the genealogy of the Ding family that the ancestors of the Ding family were blessed by God and reincarnated in the human world, benefiting the Ding family from generation to generation." There were piles of animal skins, bamboo slips, and paper booklets beside the old man. There were at least tens of thousands of them.
volume, and began to search through each volume.
Ding Keke looked at the serious old man. Wang Da was still waiting outside. If he kept asking like this, he would go straight to the point: "Stop looking, are you sent by Taikoo?"
"Back to my ancestors, it was the Immortal Yaizhen who secretly told me that you are here, so I am waiting here."
"Yai Sui? I believe you for now. Apart from seeing me, is there anything else?" Upon hearing Ya Sui, Ding Keke understood.
"Just to see me?" Ding Keke was suspicious. He could see Yaizhen. He was at least an immortal official now. He wanted to see him raise his hand, so why would he bring him to the ancestral hall.
"To be fair to our ancestors, my great-great-grandson does have something to ask for, but I don't know whether to talk about it or not." The old man hesitated to speak.
"You're here, it doesn't hurt to listen." They have brought me here, isn't this obvious?
Ding Youdao suddenly knelt down again, with a solemn look on his face: "The Ding family has been trapped by blood since ancient times, and the number of people is not prosperous. I hope that our ancestors can spread more branches and leaves for the Ding family."
Seeing his cautious look, Ding Keke thought that something big was going on. Then she thought about it, it might be really difficult to do this. In her current situation, it was still a question of whether she could marry a wife or have children. However, looking at what he was doing
The Ding family looked worried about the future and couldn't refuse. They put on a smile and said awkwardly: "I'll try my best. I'll try my best."
Then he added with a playful smile: "When you have time, go and say hello to the other grandsons and grandsons of the Ding family. There is strength in numbers, and the prosperity of the family depends on everyone."
"Also, you just saw that there are so many ghosts in the underworld who care about my bloodline, and now I am so weak that even a little ghost can't do anything, and I can't protect myself. How can I fulfill the important task of making my family prosperous?"
"What did the ancestors say?" Ding Youdao was stunned for a moment.
Ding Keke continued: "From ancient times, did the Ding family's ancestors leave any magic weapons for self-defense, such as any magical weapons, spells, elixirs, etc. Give me a few for self-defense."
Ding Youdao looked at the great achievements of the old ancestor in front of him and the one who "survived despite adversity and repeatedly made extraordinary achievements" recorded in the Ding family tree, and felt that there was a big difference. He thought that maybe he was in a hurry to recognize his ancestor and came too early.
This is an ancestor who has just entered the world and whose mind is not yet mature.
Replied: "Reporting to our ancestors, Ding's ancestors produced several descendants who made great achievements in war and were rich enough to rival other countries. However, the Immortal Yajue gave us the opportunity to meet you and emphasized that you must be self-reliant in the mortal world.
, we can't interfere, otherwise it will cause unreasonable disaster to you, you see..."
"It's Taigu again, do you have any grudge against him?"
Ding Keke looked at this timid great-great-grandson and shouted loudly. There is an ancestor on the left and an ancestor on the right. The ancestors suffered in the world and didn't care. Now, it is dark and dark, and he is frightened when he comes here.
I can't bear to give you a consolation prize.
He turned it to Ding Youdao with a sad look in his eyes: "Don't bother me if you have nothing to do in the future, just let me fend for myself in this world."
When Ding Youdao saw that his ancestor was angry and spoke like this, he immediately took out a box of gold bars: "My great-grandson is bound by the immortal rules and is extremely pedantic. He did not understand the plight of our ancestor in time. Please accept this box of gold."
Ding Keke looked at the box full of gold. He could finally get rid of this miserable life and no longer have to go hungry. He felt happy and couldn't help but reach out to touch the gold. As soon as his hand touched the gold, thunder pierced the sky.
Arriving as promised, the image of Yaizhen being hit by a thunderbolt with black smoke coming out of his mouth and nose flashed through his mind. He was so frightened that he quickly took his hand back. As if the thunderbolt had a spirit, he retreated back into the sky.
Ding Keke looked at the golden gold with heartache, unable to fall in love, and looked up to the sky in despair and cursed: "Damn Taegu, stinking Taegu, are you happy to see me suffer?"
Security room,
Uncle Zhang had a cigarette in his mouth. He felt uneasy for no reason today, and his lighter failed to light up several times.
At this time, one hand took the lighter, and with a "pop" sound, red and yellow flames jumped out. Ding Keke skillfully helped the uncle light the cigarette...
Uncle Zhang was filled with joy when he saw the well-behaved Ding Keke: "We, Keke, are still considerate."
Asking questions: "Have you finished your work so early today? Did Aunt Zhang call on you? Did Wang Da ask you to help again?"
Ding Keke took out the lunch box and handed it to Uncle Zhang: "No, Aunt Zhang specially made chicken legs for me today and left two for you."
"Ha! Ha! The one Aunt Zhang gave me is bigger than yours." Ding Ke looked at the chicken legs in Uncle Zhang's lunch box, looking like a naughty boy.
Ding Keke said cheerfully: "Grandpa, school is about to start. I also have some savings now. I want to rent a room near the school, then set up a stall and do some small business. What do you think?"
"Okay, okay, okay, young people should always try to do what they want to do..."
Uncle Zhang looked at the tanned and energetic Ding Keke and was filled with joy: "This construction site will last another two years. Just come and see grandpa when you have time."
Uncle Zhang patted Ding Keke on the shoulder: "There are so many sufferings in the world and life is so fragile. If you pull and he pushes, there will be no obstacles that cannot be overcome."
