Chapter 139 Demolishing the Old Brick House
This time is too sudden!We thought we would have to wait at least ten days and a half months, but we didn't expect it to be today. We don't have much time to prepare, about four hours.Qiu Laosan hadn't returned the car borrowed by his old cousin, Qiu Laoer immediately got on the car and went out of the village to find his brother who made explosives.

Zhou Bazhi walked into the old house with me, he looked inside for a while, and then told me to prepare a big hammer.I immediately went back to Qiu Laosan's house and asked him to borrow a big hammer for me. Qiu Laosan went out and came back 5 minutes later with a big hammer, which was half the size of a brick.

I thanked Qiu Laosan and asked him if he would like to visit the old house later.

Old San Qiu shook his head like a rattle, saying that he didn't dare to go, and he still had seven children to raise!What if something unexpected happens.As soon as Qiu Laosan said the words, he immediately realized that he had a crow's mouth, and quickly spit out, expressing to take back the words.

After I took the hammer to the old house, there was no sign of Zhou Bazhi. I don't know if he went to the mountain to see it again.

At around 08:30 in the morning, Qiu Laoer drove back, and a fat man was sitting in the back seat, holding a wooden box randomly nailed into planks in his right hand.When the wooden box was opened, there was a bunch of newspapers inside, and when the newspapers were opened again, there was a bundle of explosives, about a dozen of them.

Now the explosive is just a shell, there is a bag of nitrate under the box, and the fuse and detonator are in the fat man's pocket.When you use it later, put the nitrate into the explosive shell, then insert the detonator, and then insert the lead wire into the detonator, so that an explosive explosive that can explode is assembled.

In fact, it is a big firecracker, but it is different from a big firecracker. The chemical reaction of this nitrate is much more violent than the nitrate of firecrackers, and the energy produced is also greater.

Qiu's second brother's name is Agou, just a nickname. When he smiles, his eyes are crooked like Guo Jingjing, and he is a talkative person at a glance.

I thought time was urgent before, but now it seems that everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared, but in fact there is nothing to prepare.Waiting is not a real demolition, so we haven't hired anyone yet, and we need to hire people only after the house is blown up.Because two people were killed when the house was tried to be demolished, it is impossible to ask for help if it is not destroyed.

At this time, there were still two minutes before 10:30 p.m., during which time I went home and ate breakfast. I didn’t come out until [-]:[-], and went directly to the old house.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Zhou Bazhi arranging something in the courtyard. When I got closer, I found that he had driven a lot of nails on the ground. At this time, he was connecting each nail with a red thread. a triangular grid

Qiu Lao Er and A Gou watched from the sidelines, greeted me when I came in, and then continued to look at Zhou Bazhi's red line.After Zhou Bazhi connected the last nail, he took out a fist-sized stone from his black leather bag and put it in a triangle grid in the center of the red line.

The stone in his hand had just been put down when a strange thing happened. The whole old house visibly shook, but very slightly, and then a lot of dust and debris fell from the roof.

Zhou Bazhi breathed out, wiped the sweat from his forehead, stood up and told us that this is Taishan Stone, which temporarily suppresses the evil spirits here, and it will be invalid after twelve o'clock.After speaking, he looked around the house again, went in every room, and finally took out a small compass.

Zhou Bazhi walked around the old house with a compass, finally stopped in a corner of the hall, looked up, he looked for more than 20 seconds, then turned around and asked Qiu Laoer if he had a ladder .

Qiu Laoer said yes, how long the ladder is.

Zhou Ba pointed to the ladder that could get close to the roof, and he needed to climb up to mark a location.

The roof of this hall is higher than a two-story building. Most people don’t have such a long ladder in their homes, because it is not necessary and difficult to carry.

But Qiu Lao Er said yes without thinking, and he went to get it right away, and went out the door after speaking.

Zhou Bazhi looked at his watch and said that it was almost eleven o'clock, only one ladder short, and after Lao Qiu brought the ladder, he could rest for half an hour after marking the location.

After Qiu Laoer left, he didn't expect that he hadn't returned after more than 20 minutes. His house was only 200 meters away from the old house.Zhou Bazhi waited impatiently, saying what the hell was going on with Lao Qiu, it was already past eleven o'clock, so don't miss the time to break a dick.

A Gou told me to go to Qiu Laoer's house immediately to see if something happened.

I was sitting on the ground in a daze, bored, when Ah Gou called me, I immediately jumped up and trotted out of the old house.However, as soon as I went out to the door of the old house, I saw Qiu Laoer coming. He was carrying a long ladder on his shoulders. It turned out that two ladders were connected with a rope.

I just said that ordinary people don't have such a long ladder, no wonder Qiu Laoer has been away for so long, it turned out that it took time to pick up the ladder.I immediately went back to the old house and told Zhou Bazhi that Mr. Qiu was here and had already reached the door. As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Qiu came in. He walked into the corner of the hall of the old house and put the ladder down. not long enough.

Zhou Bazhi frowned and looked at the joint in the middle of the ladder, said in a reluctant tone that it was long enough, then turned his head and told me to climb the ladder.

I made a move, Zhou Bazhi should have planned to climb up to mark the position by himself, but now that he saw these two connected ladders, he must have asked me to climb because he was afraid that it would be unsafe.

Qiu Lao Er immediately said that there is no problem, he tied it very tightly, and told me to rest assured, then Zhou Bazhi gave me a piece of chalk.

To climb such a high ladder is to connect two ladders, and put it elsewhere. Unless you are a big fat man, no one will feel pressure to climb.But this is an evil place, a century-old house haunted by ghosts, who is not afraid that when climbing to the top, the ladder will fall down for no reason and people will be thrown to death!Zhou Bazhi didn't want to take the risk.

I immediately climbed up the ladder, and when I got to the connection in the middle, I saw that Qiu Laoer was indeed tied very firmly, and I was not afraid of my light weight, so I continued to climb up. There were Agou and Qiu Laoer holding the ladder feet below.

When I climbed to the second-to-last step at the top of the ladder, Zhou Bazhi said it, and told me to go to the left, start to circle the eighth brick with chalk, and circle it to the position behind the No. 11 brick.

I immediately followed suit and drew a circle to the position he said with chalk heavily, and circled the three bricks, it was as simple as that.

After marking the location, Zhou Bazhi looked at his watch and said that there were still about ten minutes left, and told me to come down and rest, and take the hammer to go up by the way.After I got down, Zhou Bazhi took the big hammer and said that he would obey his orders after climbing up. As long as he yelled to smash, he would immediately use the hammer to hit the marked position. He could only hit three times and must Smash those three bricks.

I was a little embarrassed when I heard that the ladder is so high. I will hold the ladder with one hand and smash it with such a big hammer with the other hand.

Qiu Lao Er reassured me that the old house had been around for hundreds of years, and the bricks had become much more brittle. Such a big hammer might break three pieces in a row.

As soon as I heard this, I felt that this made some sense. After all, I am not weak, so I can just smash it down hard. I don’t believe that I can’t break three old bricks with three heavy blows.

The time passed quickly, Zhou Bazhi looked at his watch again, said that it was already 11:30, and told me to climb up to get ready, and started smashing when he heard him screaming.

I took the hammer and climbed to the top of the ladder again, waiting for Zhou Bazhi to shout.

During the few minutes of waiting, I thought about many possible things that might happen. For example, I just raised the hammer and was about to smash it, but I fell down and killed Qiu's second child who was climbing the ladder below.Or if I went down with a hammer, the whole house collapsed immediately, and the four of us were buried alive here.
It seemed that time passed very slowly now, and Zhou Bazhi Qiu's second son and the others did not speak below, and the four of them just stayed quietly for a few minutes, and the atmosphere was extremely strange.

"Get ready, the countdown is 30 seconds!" Zhou Bazhi began to remind me
In just a few minutes, my hand holding the hammer handle was already sweating. Hearing Zhou Bazhi's reminder, I immediately wiped my hand against the wall, and then held the hammer handle even harder.

Zhou Bazhi yelled for 30 seconds, 20 seconds, 10 seconds, and after ten seconds, he reported once a second. When he shouted to the fifth second, my heartbeat became very fast, as if he was reporting the countdown of a time bomb. And I'm the bomb defuser.

The countdown to the last second finally arrived, and I had already raised the sledgehammer. When Zhou Bazhi called out the second, he yelled "Smash" loudly.

With a "bang", I almost used all my strength to hit the marked position, and my hands were shaking, but at this moment, the accident still happened.The sledgehammer just hit once, and when I was about to hit it a second time, the hammer fell off and fell straight down the ladder.

Below the ladder are Qiu Lao Er and A Gou. The hammer weighs at least a dozen kilograms.

I reacted very quickly. The moment the hammer fell off, I immediately shouted "Be careful with the hammer."

Qiu Laoer and the others kept looking up, and they saw the hammer falling off, and immediately jumped to the side, and the hammer just landed on the position where they were standing just now, smashing all the stones on the floor.

It was so thrilling, if it was a second late, the consequences would be unimaginable, the faces of Qiu Lao Er and A Gou were so scared that they turned pale and broke out in cold sweat!

Seeing that they were all right, I looked at the place where I smashed just now, and there was no trace of smashing on it, but I smashed it with all my strength.

Zhou Bazhi is very disappointed, tell me to come down!It seemed that this old house really couldn't be demolished, so he planned to go to the courtyard to take back his Taishan stone.

I was also very disappointed, thinking that if Zhou Bazhi had used it to smash just now, Qiu Lao Er or Agou below would have been smashed to death long ago. After all, I can bring good luck to people, so they can avoid it.

I started to climb down the ladder, but I kept staring depressedly at the place where I hit it just now. When I climbed halfway down the ladder, I didn't expect a miracle to happen at this time.
