Chapter 84 Time Travel 1
The sky above the construction site was originally clear and cloudless.

Suddenly, the sky darkened, dark clouds obscured the sun, and a gloomy atmosphere descended.

A chilling wind blew through the construction site, carrying what sounded like mournful cries and wails.

One sound after another made those who heard it feel a pang of sadness.

Those were innocent ghosts, lamenting their misery and despair.

Soon, with Li Xiang pointing it out and Bian Dong leading the excavation, the three square pillars were found to be the source of the problem.

One by one, the bones were dug out.

Those were the other three people who went missing at the construction site that year; they were all very young.

"Sister Xu, this is the information we found about Zhan Bingjun, Liang Zhonghe, and Ma Jiansen." At this moment, Sikong Yan, who had been called away by Xu Qingling to investigate, also arrived and delivered the information.

Xu Qingling lowered her eyes and flipped through the pages.

In that instant, the surrounding environment suddenly changed.

Suddenly, a large number of workers appeared before them. These people seemed not to see Xu Qingling and the others, and they were all working hard.

Xu Qingling's eyes narrowed. Was this a time reversal, or was she still able to experience it firsthand?
"Hey, Bingjun, is that girl who came to see you earlier your girlfriend?"

In the construction site, a young man wearing a work hat, unloading bags of cement, turns around and reveals a simple, honest smile. "No, that's not my girlfriend, that's my sister, my own sister."

"Oh, so it's your younger sister. You're working so hard, it's not for your sister, is it?"

Zhang Bingjun seemed to have thought of something and said with considerable pride, "My younger sister will be going to university next year. The school said she can apply to a university in Beijing. I need to save up for her tuition; the cost of living is high in a big city."

"To be recommended for admission to Beijing University, that's truly remarkable."

According to Zhang Bingjun's account, his coworkers learned that Zhang Bingjun and his sister Zhang Menglan's parents divorced when they were young, and neither of them wanted them. The two siblings grew up relying on the kindness of others and living in dilapidated old houses that no one wanted.

After completing nine years of compulsory education, Zhang Bingjun finished junior high school, but his grades were mediocre, so he simply dropped out of school to work.

His younger sister, Zhang Menglan, has excellent grades, and he plans to support her through university.

That's why he came here after learning that the wages at the construction site were relatively high.

Unfortunately, at the end of the scene, he was chosen by the so-called master brought by Zhang Hengquan and became the first "living stake" (a person who was buried alive).

The scene changes.

It was another thin, dark-skinned boy. He was wearing a work hat and pouring cement. He had been working for who knows how long, and his body was covered with a thick layer of cement. His face was covered with mud, and even his eyelids were covered.

“I’m telling you, Xiao Liang, you work so hard that you can’t even afford to eat a decent meal. Why do you say that? People work hard so they can eat and drink well. You can’t give all your money to your parents. You have to think more about yourself.”

When 18-year-old Liang Zhonghe heard his fellow workers' concern, he turned around, a smile appearing on his mud-covered face, but he didn't say anything.

In the blink of an eye, Liang Zhonghe once again took his wages, kept 200 yuan for himself, and gave the rest to his parents who came to the construction site to ask him for money.

They are called parents, but in reality, they are adoptive parents.

"Soon, Xiao He, keep up the good work. We've supported you for 18 years, and we've spent a lot of money on you over the years."

“If you earn 18 yuan for us, we will tell you about your biological parents.”

"There's still 15,000 left. Next time, when you hand over the money, I can tell you, and you can go find your biological parents."

Yes, Liang Zhonghe was abducted.

His adoptive parents treated him badly, abused him, and even prevented him from reading books.

He was illiterate.

He started working at the age of 14. All because of one sentence from his adoptive parents: "Xiao He, your biological parents have been looking for you. However, we can't just tell you where your biological parents are. After all, we've raised you for so many years. As long as you work hard and earn 18 yuan for us, we will tell you about your biological parents, and then you can go back to them."

Liang Zhonghe, who was illiterate and even somewhat simple-minded, did not know that if he had truly been abducted, he could have called the police.

But he didn't know that by only listening to his adoptive parents, he could return to his biological parents as long as he earned 18 yuan.

He had seen how happy and blessed the children were, growing up with their biological parents.

Liang Zhonghe thought that his biological parents must have loved him very much.

If I'm with my parents, will I never be beaten, scolded, hungry, or sick all night with no one to care for me?

He will work hard to earn money and try his best to return to his parents' side.

such a pity.

Liang Zhonghe was selected by the master brought by Zhang Hengquan and became the second live specimen.

As he closed his eyes, Liang Zhonghe thought: Tomorrow is payday. He was supposed to get news of his parents after he paid his salary, but alas, he still won't see them. He'll never see them again in his entire life.

Because his life has come to an end...

The wind carries the sound of bells and long sighs.

It made everyone present feel sad and heartbroken.

He is a poor child after all.

For 18 years, she was abducted and suffered endless abuse. She worked hard, and in the end, even her death was so hasty and tragic.

In fact, Liang Zhonghe was not afraid of death, nor did he feel that working hard without earning money was too difficult. He just wanted to get news of his biological parents and return to their side.

He just wanted to go back to his parents and enjoy their love, like any other ordinary child.

Unfortunately, he ultimately failed to achieve his goal.

Zhang Hengquan slumped to the ground, shaking his head and muttering, "I don't know, I really don't know..."

He had no idea that Liang Zhonghe had come to work at the construction site for this reason.

He didn't know that Liang Zhonghe was a child who had been abducted and only wanted to return to his biological parents.

Seeing Liang Zhonghe reminded him of his Xiao Ze.

If he knew Liang Zhonghe's situation, even if he thought of Xiao Ze, he would never treat Liang Zhonghe as a living person.

Thinking of Xu Qingling's words, Zhang Hengquan wondered, could this Liang Zhonghe be...?

No, it's not.

This Liang Zhonghe is definitely not Xiao Ze.

In the flashback, the scene shifts again.

Another boy appeared.

The 22-year-old drove a small tricycle loaded with stones. His bare back was already peeling and cracked from the scorching sun.

When his coworkers talked about why they worked, young Ma Jiansen gave a shy smile.

“My wife is pregnant. I need to earn money for baby formula. Also, I want to buy a house. I don’t want my wife and child to have to move around and run around with me.”
