The little fox would also take some time to reach the construction site, and even after Ye Tiancheng and Fatty arrived, it took a considerable amount of time. They could only choose to wait.
However, given what had happened along the way and just now, leaving this large stone, suspected to be Nuwa Stone, exposed in the open was clearly not safe. It was unpredictable when people would come one after another.
After all, Ye Tiancheng had already known the situation here before he rushed over. Many people had already learned the news and were approaching for the stone.
Wasn't the muscular man he fought earlier also here for it? And he was a cultivator with a cultivation base, whose temperament was estimated to be quite bad, and who might return to cause trouble at any time, not looking like someone who would give up easily.
Who knew what kind of people they would encounter next? The migrant workers on the construction site were just ordinary people earning hard-earned money. If this continued, even if the strange occurrences caused by this stone didn't kill them, they would be killed by the cultivators attracted by this stone.
Thinking of this, Ye Tiancheng couldn't help but sigh. Cultivators inevitably had good and bad. Now, people from both righteous and evil paths were rushing over. Facing such a great temptation as Nuwa Stone, even cultivators of the righteous path could not guarantee what they would do in the end.
Moreover, Ye Tiancheng could only help for a while, not for a lifetime. On one hand, he did not want these ordinary migrant workers to be harmed because of it, and on the other hand, he did not want Nuwa Stone to fall into the hands of others.
But if this continued, as more and more people arrived, he and Fatty were only two people. Sooner or later, two fists would not be able to fight four hands, and they might fall at any time.
Seeing Ye Tiancheng sighing here, Fatty quickly asked his brother with concern what was bothering him. Ye Tiancheng had a good relationship with him, and the matters ahead had to be faced together, so Ye Tiancheng did not hide anything but frankly told Fatty all his concerns.
He briefly told Fatty his worries and thoughts. Fatty agreed very much after listening, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly had an idea.
"Brother Ye, don't you want to move this stone? Before, the two of us definitely couldn't do this easily, and calling a car would have caused too much commotion, fearing that it would alert the workers on the construction site."
"But now, we don't have this trouble. We just helped them so much, we can ask them for help, at least move this stone indoors, at least not in such a conspicuous open place, otherwise, we won't have the energy to guard it all the time, right?"
Ye Tiancheng also knew that as long as this stone was placed here, he and Fatty would definitely have to guard it tonight to ensure that nothing went wrong with the stone.
The migrant workers on the construction site were ordinary people. If anything else happened, as the people coming became more dangerous, they definitely couldn't guard this stone, and losing their lives was inevitable. The stone could not be guarded by them.
But even if he and Fatty could guard it, they could only be fortunate that he and Fatty had rested during the day. It was fine to stay up for one night, but if the time was too long, they couldn't bear it.
By then, the people who came later would be well-rested, and he and Fatty would be completely unable to resist.
Ye Tiancheng hesitated and nodded at Fatty, as he couldn't come up with a better solution for the moment, but things always had to be resolved. This stone placed here was indeed very insecure.
"You have a point. I'll try to communicate with the foreman, otherwise, this matter is also very troublesome for us."
"Okay, Brother Ye, I'll go with you."
After speaking, their conversation came to a temporary end, and they walked towards the sheds together, finding the foreman and the others.
They were already on duty to guard the night and catch thieves, to prevent anyone from having designs on the stone outside, so when Ye Tiancheng and Fatty found them, they had not yet slept.
After hearing the intention of Ye Tiancheng and Fatty, the foreman's expression showed a hint of difficulty.
To say that they were indebted to Ye Tiancheng for his help, and with Ye Tiancheng promising to help them solve the strange occurrences caused by the stone, if Ye Tiancheng had something to ask for their help, they naturally had no reason to refuse if they could help.
After all, they were not heartless people, but the matter Ye Tiancheng and Fatty proposed was not that they didn't want to help, but that they indeed had very difficult aspects.
The foreman looked at Ye Tiancheng and Fatty, rubbed his fingers with difficulty, and frowned tightly, explaining to them helplessly.
"Alas, brothers, to be honest, you have helped us a lot and are willing to help us solve the trouble outside. We are very grateful to you. If there is anything we can do to help, we definitely have no reason to refuse, but this matter is not as simple as you think."
Ye Tiancheng did not think that the foreman was shirking his responsibility. He comforted the foreman with understanding and asked for the reason. The foreman's performance was too obvious, and he was not blind. He could see that there must be another hidden reason behind it.
"I naturally believe you. We are not seeking repayment for favors, but the trouble brought by this stone, I believe you are also very clear and deeply troubled. We just want to solve the trouble, but we don't want to cause you any distress."
"From what you just said, are there any other problems? You can tell us, and we can think of a solution. You have experienced many consequences of this stone being placed in the open. It is best to solve it as soon as possible."
The foreman looked at Ye Tiancheng gratefully, smiled shyly at him, and then began to tell him about the situation they had encountered before.
"Brother, you must know that this stone has been dug out for some time, right?"
Ye Tiancheng naturally nodded. From the time he heard the news of this stone until he and Fatty rushed over here, it had been several days.
"Of course, I know. Otherwise, my brother and I wouldn't have come here specifically out of interest and curiosity to see this magical stone. It should have been several days."
"Yes, yes. After this stone was dug out, many strange things happened on our construction site. I've already told you about it, and there have been several waves of people coming for this stone. This has really caused us serious trouble."
The foreman replied to Ye Tiancheng, nodded, and then looked at the direction of the stone outside the shed with a complex expression, his emotions very subtle.
"We have also thought about moving the stone to another place. We all know how much trouble it will cause to leave it outside. Who wouldn't want to do that?"
"Moreover, this stone has caused so many strange occurrences. Everyone has been greatly frightened during this time. It can be said that they can't wait for this stone to not be here, or even not on the construction site. It would be best to move it out, otherwise, we are really going to be mentally exhausted and worn out."
Seeing the foreman's sighing expression, Ye Tiancheng and Fatty knew that he was not lying and that his emotions were sincere, so they listened attentively to the foreman.
The foreman did not delay any longer, and finally got to the more important part, which was why they had not moved the stone. It was truly because they had no other choice.
"This stone is so large and heavy. At first, everyone didn't pay much attention to moving the stone. It was all about physical labor, as you know, brother."
Ye Tiancheng echoed the foreman, listening to him continue slowly.
"But the strange thing is that when moving the stone, I picked the strongest few people on the construction site to move the stone together. At first, it couldn't be moved at all. We all found it very strange, and thought that we might have underestimated the weight of this stone, so we added a few more people to move it. As a result, who knew that the stone still wouldn't move at all."
Hearing this, Ye Tiancheng and Fatty exchanged glances. It seemed that the stone was much heavier than they thought, and it would not be so easy for them to move the stone.
However, the foreman's narration had not yet ended. He continued to tell Ye Tiancheng and Fatty about what had happened at that time.
"You think about it, that stone is only that big, it's just a stone, how heavy can it be? Everyone is very strange, but there is no way, so they have to use a crane."
There were many facilities and equipment for this on a construction site. If human strength was not enough to move heavy objects, there were also machines.
Ye Tiancheng caught on. He realized the problem. Since there was a crane on the construction site, and the workers on the construction site also wanted to move this stone, then why was this stone still in its original place? It was still standing here when he and Fatty arrived?
Ye Tiancheng and Fatty looked at each other.
There was naturally only one answer, and that answer was obvious – they couldn't move this stone.
As expected, the foreman's subsequent statement confirmed their thoughts. The situation was indeed as they had thought, it was not that they didn't want to move the stone, but that even the crane couldn't lift it.
Even though the construction site's equipment was complete, and the workers tried their best, they couldn't move the stone an inch. Since the stone couldn't be moved, they had to give up.
According to this statement, Ye Tiancheng became strange again. He didn't hide it, as there was no need to hide it. He directly asked the foreman.
"Since the stone can't be moved, there's no risk of theft. But why are you guarding the night to catch thieves? After all, if a thief visits, the stone that even your crane can't lift, they should be even more helpless. You should be at ease, shouldn't you?"
The foreman shook his head repeatedly, his face full of bitterness. What he said was correct. Since the stone couldn't be moved, what was the need for them to guard it?
If thieves wanted to have designs on the stone, they wouldn't have any better way, and it would definitely cause a lot of commotion. Even if they didn't have anyone on site to guard it, once someone came, even if they were asleep, they would definitely notice the situation and rush to the scene quickly.
But if the real situation were that simple, why would they be so worried now?
After all, what had been tormenting them these past few days was not only thieves but also that stone.
