"Ah! There's a ghost!"

The fat man yelled and ran back to the camp immediately, his body already soaked with sweat from fear.

When the boss saw the fat man's appearance, he gave him a look of contempt.

"Damn fat man, I didn't expect you to be such a serious person today, but you actually played a prank on me today. I really belong to you!"

"Yes, but fat man, are you good at acting? Why don't you become an actor?"

The fat man gasped and squeezed out a few words from his mouth.

"Big...Boss, there is really a ghost in that forest."

Only then did the boss realize that the fat man might be telling the truth and was not lying to him.

He stood up and lit a torch from his hand.

"Brothers, I think what the fat man said may be true. How about we go and take a look..."

"Okay, brother, let's go with you!"

A few people lit torches and came to the place where the fat man had just peed. There was nothing at all.

There wasn't even a human figure, let alone a ghost.

The boss pointed at the fat man angrily: "I mean, fat man, next time you make a joke like this again, don't blame me for turning against you!"

The fat man stammered: "Boss, I didn't lie to you!"

"Okay, then where is the ghost you are talking about! Where is it! Point it out to me and I will believe you! Otherwise, stop deceiving people here."

"I...that...ghost"

The fat man stammered and couldn't speak, so he had to look around, hoping to find the ghost.

After some searching, I still couldn't find the ghost, so I had to shut up.

"Okay, fat man, let's just get our wages and don't worry about the devil's business."

The boss sighed softly in his heart, and immediately his eyes moved, suddenly turning towards the direction of the fat man, with a look of worry in his eyes.

He knew the story of corpses floating on the waterway, so it must be no surprise that it is haunted.

I just don't want anything to happen when I'm on duty, I just want to earn the salary from the engineering team.

So a few people returned to the camp and sat next to the campfire and drank a few gulps of strong wine.

He resumed playing cards and passed the vigil in this way.

"Come on, let's continue playing cards!"

Several people were sitting together and were about to deal the cards when the boss suddenly realized a problem.

There were seven people on duty originally, but now there is one more.

He nervously picked up his fingers and counted them one by one, starting from himself and counting in a circle around the bonfire.

One, two, three...six, seven, eight...

"Why are there eight people, one more person!"

The boss screamed in surprise, and the fat man imitated the boss and counted them again.

One, two...six, seven.

"Boss, there are seven people here!"

The boss shook his head helplessly when he saw the fat man's naive appearance.

"I said, Fatty, have you forgotten to count yourself?"

The fat man counted again, this time starting from himself.

After finishing counting, he collapsed with excitement.

"How come there are eight people!"

A few people, you look at me, and I look at you.

This kind of engineering team vigil consists basically of seven people formed temporarily, and it feels like you can't remember who they look like.

Except for Fatty, who has an unforgettable memory at first glance, everyone else is almost exactly the same, especially around the dim campfire.

The boss shuddered. It was obviously his first time encountering such a thing.

Not sure how to handle it at all.

At this time, the fat man leaned close to the boss and lowered his voice and said to him: "Boss, there must be a ghost involved here."

The boss’s voice was also very small: “Nonsense, you think I don’t know!”

"Since they are ghosts, they definitely don't know about our project. We will find out just by asking them one by one!"

The old man laughed and said, "I didn't expect that, Fatty, you are quite useful at critical moments!"

"Hehehe...that's necessary."

Just do it, the boss took out a crumpled piece of paper from his hand, and the rules about the construction of the Fengyu Waterway were clearly written on the paper.

He gathered the remaining six people together, each of them with an almost identical face.

"I'll ask a few of you a question. If anyone can't answer it, that's the ghost. I'll arrest you."

He glanced at the first person and said slowly: "Since you are here to participate in our project, you should know how much the reward will be for this project!"

The man said a number directly in one breath without thinking.

"One dollar and twenty-five cents."

This number does not sound like much now, but in that era, one yuan was enough to get a wife, and ten yuan was enough to build a luxurious villa in the countryside.

This shows how generous the reward for helping to build this waterway is.

The boss nodded with satisfaction, which was enough to prove that he was not a ghost.

"Okay, you go over there."

So there were only five people left around the campfire, and everyone was too nervous to speak.

After all, none of them have read any books. If the boss asks some profound questions, it will be over if they can't answer them.

Immediately, the boss looked at the second man.

"Do you know how long the construction period of our project is?"

The man lowered his head, gestured with each other for a long time, and finally said a result.

"Boss, it's nine months!"

The boss thought about it. It was originally planned by the government to develop a waterway within a year and a half.

The excavation is now halfway through, and the rest of the work should be almost nine months of work.

"Well, you go to Fatty's side too!"

The man took a nervous breath and walked over to the fat man.

At this time, the four people around the campfire looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't dare to speak.

It would be bad if the person he was talking to was a ghost.

Without any hesitation, the boss came to the third person and shouted in a majestic voice:

"Are you a ghost?"

The man was very frightened when he heard it. In those days, others would think it was a ghost.

I'm afraid he will only end up with his body trampled by countless people.

"Boss...Boss, I'm not. I'm just here to make a living..."

The man replied so nervously that he burst into tears and knelt down holding the boss's legs.

If he was really a ghost, how could he be so cowardly?

The boss shook his head when he heard such a scene, and he also believed that he was not a ghost.

"Okay, you go to the fat man's side first!"

"Thank you, boss...thank you, boss..."

The man crawled over to the fat man, looking very embarrassed.

But as long as you don't get mistaken for a ghost, being cowardly is a good way to survive.

There were only three people left in the end, and one of them must be an extra ghost.

The boss glanced at the three of them, put up a torch, and licked his lips.

Looking at the three of them with interest.

"Which one of you three is the ghost?"
