Fated To Be

A Story

Lu Yu Xiao seems to notice the change of expression of Shen Wei and asks him what is going on. Shen Wei didn't say anything and just extended his hand to him,

"Lend me a telescope", Lu Yu Xiao didn't know why he wanted a telescope but Xiao Ming was quick-witted and quickly went to the tent, grabbed something, and ran back, his hands holding a binocular and politely giving it to Shen Wei,

"What have you found", Lu Yu Xiao silently observed at his side, he felt a little weird when Shen Wei closed his right eye when it was a binocular, he could open both of his eyes and still look without any difficulties, but he didn't comment on anything. After looking for a while, Shen Wei passed it to him, telling him to take a look, but he couldn't see any weird thing at all. By this time, Wei Hong Xi also had arrived at where they were standing.

"There are.. a lot of holes in the mountain, I don't know if is man-made or a natural crevice", he turned around to look at Wei Hong Xi, "Have you noticed this?", Wei Hong Xi also seems surprised by this, because their focus is never on the mountain but the mines. He took the binoculars from Lu Yu Xiao and looked in the direction Shen Wei looked at, and turned around to look at him with bright mesmerizing eyes,

"How could you notice this? If I didn't look at it carefully I won't be able to tell"

Lu Yu Xiao also took the binoculars and scanned the whole mountain, at first he didn't know what they were talking about, but after looking carefully, he noticed a small hole that had been covered by weeds, and foliage.

Shen Wei, "From your tone it seems that you also didn't know about it",

Wei Hong Xi slowly shakes his head, "No. But I can ask locals about it", Shen Wei eyes looks at him with a questionable eye, he smiles and explains it to him,

"There is a small village near here, it is up there behind this small mountain, they are also the ones who told us to stop the construction if we didn't want any casualties to happen"

Shen Wei, "Since there is already a warning, they didn't say anything to avoid the accident? Not any clue at all?", Wei Hong Xi's face is a little embarrassed, his face is flustered, it seems that it is not that they are unwilling to cooperate but these people that didn't care about the life of this worker at all. It is expected since they can just hire someone else to do the job, since many people are willing to do the work if they are paid.

"Should we go and take a look?", Shen Wei suggested and looked at Lu Yu Xiao, he nodded and they started to get some equipment and climb the mountain. The terrain is torturous, it is located pretty deep in the mountains and there are a lot of insects along the way, Shen Wei also slipped for so many times, his physical body is not suitable in this kind of environment, this time Lu Yu Xiao, Xiao Ming and Wei Hong Xi have to wait for him and even help him in certain areas, he feels like he is like a doll being pulled here and there, even the humidity is pretty high in here.

The moment they arrived, Shen Wei was already sweating a lot and gasping for breath, Xiao Ming gave him a bottle of water and he accepted it gratefully, but he just held it and took a couple of deep breaths to calm himself down before taking a sip of water.

The chief of the village is vigilance at first but after a few persuasions and gentle words from Shen Wei does he lowers his guards and takes them to his house, Shen Wei knows clearly that they also wish for them to stop since they are also afraid that whatever is inside the mountain will wake up and also make the peaceful village in danger, so in the name of wanting to know the problem and trying to solve it does the chief agree.
