As soon as we put the water down, everyone saw us coming and came over to drink water.

"Aunt Xu, you're here. I'm dying of thirst. It's too damn hot today. Who the hell came up with this stupid idea? Let's just let everyone die of the heat. We have no choice but to do it."

There was a young man in his 20s who came to drink water and was complaining. Village Chief Huang appeared in the crowd at some point and rolled his eyes at him.

"What are you yelling about? Are you exhausted by just this little job?"

The young man quickly shrank his neck, turned around and ran away.

"Aunt Xu, thank you so much! It's so hot, and you're still bothering me to come and bring some water."

Village chief Huang thanked grandma profusely again.

In fact, my grandmother has a very high prestige in the village, mainly because she is kind-hearted and good at looking at things. She has helped many people solve their problems. She respects the village chief, other village cadres, and villagers.

After my parents passed away, the villagers gradually distanced themselves from her because I had a bad fate. In recent years, because I have the ability to see ghosts and spirits, more and more people have come to her for fortune-telling.

"Village chief, village chief, I found someone stuffing straw into the soil again."

I wanted to pull Village Chief Huang aside and talk to him about the Black Dragon Stone, but unexpectedly, a dark-skinned young man came running over from not far away and shouted.

"These careless people are so annoying. Aunt Xu, please wait a moment. I'll go over and take a look."

After saying this, Village Chief Huang followed the young man and strode forward, cursing angrily all the way.

"Grandma, what's the matter with stuffing straw into the soil?"

After Village Chief Huang left, I asked my grandmother curiously.

"Oh, stuffing straw into the soil is just cutting corners."

After listening to my grandma's explanation, I finally understood.

It turned out that our village was assigned a section of the embankment construction. In order to prevent everyone from eating from the same pot, Village Chief Huang divided this section into seven small sections, and each production team was responsible for filling a small section.

In order to carry less soil, some people secretly put straw underneath and covered it with a layer of soil when the supervisor was not paying attention.

Because the straw will rot after being in the soil for a long time, and then the soil in that section will sink, which will seriously affect the quality of the project.

Village chief Huang repeatedly warned everyone not to cut corners, and even assigned a supervisor to be specifically responsible for supervising everyone's small actions, who was the dark-skinned young man just now.

But while the young man was eating, they stuffed the straw in.

The young man must have had a keen eye to notice that the pile had suddenly grown so high. He probably dug it open and found the straw.

Although these farmers are simple, there are still some cunning people who will take advantage of every opportunity to cheat. If the village chief finds out, I'm afraid the village leader will be scolded.

During this time, Wang Erming and I went to fetch some water again. After we drank it, we continued to work.

We waited for a while, and Village Chief Huang finished dealing with the straw issue and came over again.

Seeing the village chief coming, grandma told Village Chief Huang about my concerns. Village Chief Huang nodded and looked at me again.

Village Chief Huang believed in me. After all, he had witnessed how powerful I was with his own eyes.

"Liu Feng! I can only wait for the people from the town to come and tell them. As for whether they will listen or not, I dare not say. After all, this matter is not something I, as the village chief, can decide."

"It's okay, Village Chief Huang. I don't have any solid evidence. It's really hard to get them to believe it. Can you help me explain it?"

What the village chief said makes sense, and that’s all I can say.

"I heard that they are going to use a crane to lift the stone tomorrow. They also said that the city has invited a Feng Shui master to come with them tomorrow."

The village chief continued.

After hearing this, I was startled and had a bad premonition. My face turned pale all of a sudden. I covered my chest with my hands, which was still feeling slightly hot.

"Feng'er, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

When grandma saw that my face looked strange, she asked quickly.

"Did you get heatstroke? Aunt Xu, it's nothing. You can go back first. I'll convey your wishes to others when they come."

Village Chief Huang saw this and asked us to go back first.

"That's fine!" Grandma agreed.

I took my grandmother to see the Black Dragon Stone with trepidation. It was exposed on the water surface and shone brightly under the sunlight. It was black and shiny.

In the hot weather, there is a slight chill, as cold as frost.

"Alas! This should be something left by our ancestors to suppress something. We really can't move it. Let's wait until tomorrow. We don't know what will happen."

Grandma walked around and sighed.

I had no choice but to follow my grandma and Wang Erming home.

When I got home, my mood didn't improve. I didn't even eat dinner and just sat there stupidly, enjoying the fan.

"Feng'er, don't worry. Things will work out when the time comes. The Feng Shui experts from the city will be here tomorrow. Maybe after they come to take a look, they will not move the Black Dragon Stone."

Seeing how sad I looked, grandma comforted me.

"Grandma, I know. I'm just a little uneasy. Let's talk about it tomorrow."

I answered weakly.

At my grandma's repeated request, I drank some rice tea. In order to relieve my uneasy mood, I tried to write an essay, but I sat there for a long time and couldn't write a single word.

In the second half of the night, I finally fell asleep. The man in black appeared in my dream again, and he still had a melancholy look on his face.

"Feng'er, some things cannot be stopped. I can only minimize the damage."

After saying this, he flew away again.

I'm so angry, am I sick? He doesn't say it clearly and asks me to guess. How can I, a mortal, guess it?

If you can't explain it clearly, don't say it. Letting me know only half a thing is really infuriating. I woke up for a while, but fell asleep again in anger.

My grandma didn't call me in the morning, so I slept until 8 o'clock and ate my porridge quickly. Wang Erming was probably too bored, because he came again before I finished eating.

So we trotted all the way to the construction site again.

When we arrived at the construction site, we saw four large cranes set up next to the black water area. Workers were busy debugging the equipment, and well-dressed leaders were standing by and giving orders.

I hurried to Village Chief Huang and asked.

"Village Chief Huang, have you told them?"

Village Chief Huang looked at my anxious look and shook his head helplessly.

"I told you, they said I was feudal and superstitious. Alas! Liu Feng, you'd better not worry about it and just wait and see."

"Has the Feng Shui master arrived?" I asked again.

"It seems like it hasn't arrived yet. It probably takes three hours to drive here from the city. It should still be here for a while."

Village Chief Huang murmured.

I looked into the crowd and indeed did not see that kind of Taoist with an immortal look. If he was a top Feng Shui master, I should be able to tell from his appearance.

I feel very sorry. If he had arrived earlier, he could have prevented bad things from happening.

Seeing that the equipment was about to be debugged, I could only pray silently, hoping that what the man in black said would come true and minimize the damage, that is, minimize the harm to people.
