Who Moved My Mountain Chapter 1 Part1

The first chapter ^^.  Enjoy…

    August felt like the hottest period at this time, with the sunlight roasting the ground, making the whole town feel as if it was inside a steamer. The heat rising from the ground caused the view to become distorted.

    About 10 kilometres away from the foot of Dan Qiu Mountain, Qin Wen Tao wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead with one hand and watched the not-so-distant construction site while fidgeting. The sound of his speech was flattering and his head kept nodding and bowing.

  　　"Chief Lu, don't worry, the construction is going smoothly. I personally looked for the best construction team. Guaranteed that, not even in half a month, the mountain road will be done.  By the end of the year, the foundation would certainly be in place!"

　　On the other side of the phone line, Lu He Nian was standing in front of a large French window, gazing at the direction of Dan Qiu Mountain. His slender fingers tapped lightly on the gla.s.s. His expression was indifferent listening to Qin Wen Tao's obvious fawning.

　　"The project must be completed quickly. Put your greatest effort to minimize the damage to the vegetation on the mountain!" His thin lips said carelessly. In the middle of the summer heat, his voice gave people the feeling of being frozen by cold air.

　　"Understood, understood, protect the environment, I understand. Chief Lu…." Qin Wen Tao still wanted to say a few more words but the phone line already gave out a toot toot sound. His flattering expression quickly returned to his original clean and neat expression.

　　"Still wants to protect the environment, still wants to carry out a rapid construction, where under the heaven can you find such things ah",  Qin Wen Tao muttered to himself while walking towards the excavator in large strides. Facing the person in charge of the construction, Qian Da Ming, he said, "It's already 2pm, let the excavator start. Can this tree be dug out by dusk?"

　　"Certainly, once the excavator starts, naturally the digging would be easy." This is the first time Qian Da Ming received such a big project. The boss seemed to be well-off and he couldn't wait to show off. Who knew that when they arrived at this mountain base, Manager Qin actually wouldn't let them use the heavy machinery. Instead demanding him to carry out construction using manpower to protect the environment as much as possible. After two days, the workers under him started complaining already.

　　Despite being elated, he couldn't help but ask: "Manager Qin, just now you were talking on the phone with the boss, did the boss changed his mind? I've told you already, such a huge mountain, not relying on heavy machinery, there was simply no way to carry out the construction."

　　"None of your concern. Why ask so many questions?" Qin Wen Tao replied with not much thought. Previously, he didn't know that the Qian team would work so slowly. Don't even mention the end of the year, probably even by next year the mountain road wouldn't be done.    

　　He had already bragged to Chief Lu that he could build the foundation at the base of the mountain without damaging the vegetation. Anyway those trees and flowers in the end would not survive well. Might as well directly use the excavating machine to dig.

　　If the project was done well, Chief Lu, this big boss, also would not bother about these things.  Thinking this way, Qin Wen Tao felt that his decision was right. He waved his hand and said, "Quickly start."

　　Qian Da Ming promptly nodded at the excavator and front loader operators to begin construction.  Five or six excavators started working at the same time. Immediately, the few fragrant camphor trees, each as thick as a person, that were not too far away from them were uprooted. The ten-meter high trees fell onto the ground, making a loud 'thud' sound. The momentum of hitting the earth caused a vibration through the stones and trees, resulting in the little animals living underground to come out and flee while shrieking in fear.

　　"Yo! There are still squirrels and rabbits living on Dan Qiu Mountain." Qing Wen Tao said while looking at the startled small animals hiding inside the bushes. Nowadays, all the areas were opened up for development and the wild animals under the mountains were already extinct.

　　Qian Da Ming, who was a local in the area, laughed and responded, "Manager Qin, you don't know, our Dan Qiu Mountain is a good place with 'verdant hills and limpid water'1. No need to mention these small animals, you can still find wild boars in the mountain. Once you arrived at the base of the mountain, you would feel really comfortable. Your boss really have good foresight ah…. ."

       "Despite the abundant wild animals, there is no decent restaurant in this area. Having a taste of wild animals is not a bad experience ah…. ."

　　Qian Da Ming at once understood, his eyes narrowed into slits and said, "Good idea, good idea. I'll go and get a few rabbits for us to roast."

　　"Rumble…" a huge noise made the ears ring. Yun Rong's fingertips moved, feeling the entire mountain trembled. The rocks and soil tumbled and the tall trees collapsed one by one. The plants and vegetation were also pulled out from the earth. Birds lamented and all the living creatures in the mountain cried out in alarm. All running around and fleeing for their lives….

　　Yun Rong's soul s.h.i.+vered when the sound within ten kilometres around the mountain was transmitted into her ears.

　　"So painful ah, I'm dying, my roots are not grasping the earth anymore….."

　　"Save me, I don't want to leave this mountain, so painful, my back is going to break….. "

　　These were the inner thoughts of the living creatures, experiencing so many inexplicable things. Not just the trees, flowers and plants, even the rocks turned into rubble. Yun Rong felt a stab of pain in her heart. Lying dormant for two millenium, her soul slowly regained consciousness.    

　　In the deepest part of Dan Qiu Mountain, a woman with a clear face dressed in black clothes slowly appeared out of thin air. "So noisy…." Yun Rong mumbled angrily, "Who is making a racket here!"

　　Her voice barely landed, a burst of strong wind blew through Dan Qiu Mountain. It felt as if a magnificent army with thousands of men and horses were arriving quickly, issuing a powerful and huge whinnying sound.

　　The excavator operator jumped in fright and went down to take a look, just to discover that the side of the excavator was covered with dead branches and decomposed leaves. His heart was somewhat apprehensive and he muttered: "Right in the the middle of summer, where did such heavy wind come from ah?"
