Why not hang yourself on the southeast tree

Mr. Li woke up before the ambulance arrived.

The foreman had already had him lifted up and laid on a plank.

Although no casualties occurred in such a major safety accident, the project must be immediately suspended for rectification.

The safety officer has dutifully reported the situation to his superiors as soon as possible.

The tower crane master was called down from the high tower because of operational errors and negligence. He stood there with his head down, and was scolded like a quail.

As soon as I found out that Lao Li had woken up, I flapped my wings and flew away silently.

If someone catches me, he will have a hard time explaining himself.

Tell me, if this accident today is blamed on me, how can I explain myself...

After all, people have the inherent idea that crows bring bad luck.

No way!!!

The foreman was indeed looking for crows everywhere. When he was a child, there were crows in the woods behind the old house. He was very familiar with the sound. Moreover, when Lao Li pounced on them, his expression was obviously not right.

The foreman even wanted to go to the monitoring room to check the surveillance and find the crow.

[Foreman...I...]

Apart from a few scrapes on his elbow, Old Li had no other injuries and had already stood up and sat up on his own.

He hesitated to speak, not knowing how to continue.

[Lao Li, that thing... is it something you raise? ]

The foreman asked this question without any reason.

The people following nearby were completely confused. They looked at this one, then that, wondering what these two people were talking about.

Old Li's heart skipped a beat. He opened his mouth, then closed it again, his eyes wandering.

The foreman saw that Lao Li was hesitant and reluctant, and knowing his mild temper, he quickly sent away the people around him.

【Let’s go to the office and talk. 】

The foreman's attitude didn't seem to be tough, but Lao Li still didn't dare to refuse and stood up to follow.

He looked around but didn't see any crows, and couldn't help but sigh.

As soon as the iron door of the office was opened, a thick smell of smoke lingered, almost condensing into substance in the dim room.

The foreman opened the curtains and made a gap in the window to allow some air to flow.

He has been a heavy smoker for over 40 years. There are no smoking signs posted everywhere on the construction site except in this room.

No one can control him in his own territory.

[Okay, stop talking nonsense. You saved my life today. If I have something to eat, you won't starve. Sit down and let's talk.]

Having said that, Lao Li had no choice but to dust himself off and sit down.

The foreman personally poured two cups of hot tea and handed one to him.

[You raised that crow, didn't you?! ]

Although it is a question, one can hear the certainty and affirmation in it.

Old Li had struggled enough outside the door and now he nodded in acknowledgement.

[Well, I set a trap to catch sparrows last month, and I caught this thing. I couldn't bear it, so I kept it.]

[Is there no saying about crows in your hometown?! ]

Old Li was stunned for a moment, then he reacted.

[That’s all old-fashioned talk. In this life, I’m only afraid of being poor. I’m not afraid of ghosts, so how can I be afraid of a bird that can bring me bad luck?!]

As soon as he finished speaking, Lao Li suddenly remembered that the person opposite him was very superstitious, and the second half of the words got stuck in his throat, unable to come out or come out.

Unexpectedly, the foreman's reaction was unexpectedly calm.

[At the beginning of the year, I consulted a fortune teller, who said that I would have a bloody disaster in the first half of this year, or even lose my life. If I don’t survive, all the money I earned in the first half of my life will be earned by others, and I won’t be able to take a penny into the coffin.]

Old Li [……]

Isn’t this still superstition?!

[I didn't expect it to happen today. Didn't you see the momentum of those steel bars sticking down? My rocking chair was smashed to pieces and I couldn't put it back together anymore... If that crow hadn't reminded me, I would be a pile of mud on the ground right now...]

The foreman was still feeling a little nervous, so he quickly picked up the cup and took a big gulp of hot tea, which scalded his eyes and made them tear up.

Or maybe he was trying to cover up the fact that he was crying out of fear.

Old Li also lowered his head to drink tea and stopped staring at him.

[I didn't notice it for such a long time, you are really good at hiding. 】

Old Li's heart tightened, fearing that the crow would be driven away.

The foreman changed the subject.

[I'll give you a single dormitory. Just take care of the crows. I'll also tell them about the work and adjust your salary. Look at you, you're so skinny. If you go out, people will think that I, Zhang Dahu, have deducted your food... Oh, by the way, forget what I said last time. You get the same salary as the brothers, so it's what you deserve!]

Mr. Li reflexively wanted to stand up and decline, but his brain immediately reacted and the words that came out of his mouth turned into "thank you".

The purpose of working is to earn money. Being polite at this time is impolite, both to others and to yourself.

There were groups of people outside the office door, some of them whispering to each other. Even though women love gossiping, when men start gossiping, women can't keep up.

[Hey, how can Lao Li be so bold? If he is slow to react, both of us will have to be killed on the spot.]

[Who said it wasn't true? I didn't realize he was so good at flattering people! ]

[Why did you take so long inside? Could it be that the foreman...?]

[Have any of you heard the crows? My grandma said that when crows crow, disaster is coming. It really works...]

The door was suddenly opened from the inside, and everyone fell silent.

Fortunately, the foreman had been domineering and overbearing for many years, otherwise, with his reputation for being stingy, he would have been put in a sack and dragged out to be beaten by everyone.

[Pack up, how can we stop work for another day? Those who have nothing to do should go do what they need to do! ]

At the command, everyone dispersed like birds and beasts.

Old Li was allowed by the foreman to go back to the dormitory to pack up and move.

I curled up in the washbasin skillfully and was almost asleep when I heard the door open.

Old Li's nervous expression cleared up when he saw a little black feather leaking out from the edge of the washbasin.

【Ga? 】

Lao Li, we have been together for such a long time, you wouldn't just throw me out with the pot and the bird without saying a word, right? !

Please~

Before I could use my magical power of acting cute, Lao Li kicked the door open with a smile, carried the washbasin steadily, and went up to the second floor, to the room at the end of the corridor.

Then he gently kicked the door open, and I was placed on the table in the middle of the room, feeling dazed.

Apart from a table, there was only a 1.2-meter single bed in the room, which was bare without any decoration.

[Thanks to you, we will live here from today on, and we don't have to live with those bastards anymore! ]

Old Li was obviously very happy. He leaned forward with his hands to look at me at eye level, his eyebrows raised and his teeth showing while smiling.

【Ga? 】

I regretted it so much because I ran away too quickly and I had no idea what dramatic changes happened afterwards.
