Chapter 053: The Bell and Drum Tower
"You're almost sitting down in the hallway, can you hear what I'm saying?"
Su Tang rolled his eyes, crossed his hands on his knees, and sat up straight. She smiled stiffly, "Okay, Mu Shuai, you can say it." ”
Chen Mu didn't comment on her operation, but simply told her the story of the bell and drum tower.
The southwest of Huaya District is a typical basin, with continuous mountains and rivers, although not high, but one after another. There is a city called Silver Market, which is far away from Silver City, but it is also within the Silver Market, and there is a Hayama Village. Surrounded by mountains and beautiful mountains, Yeshan Village is not remote, but it is a good place to hide.
The Bell and Drum Tower is located in Yeshan Village.
It was originally a temple bell tower, and then it was dilapidated, and the local people felt that this was the property of the Buddhist family, and it could not be demolished casually, so it was always standing there. The people in the village have repaired it several times, otherwise it would have collapsed long ago according to its age.
The first weirdness happened twelve years ago, in 1998.
When there was a flood in '98, all the people in Yeshan Village ran to the mountains to take refuge, but fortunately, the flood did not rush to their land. But when they got home, something strange happened. All the chickens, ducks and livestock were gone, and only a few random footprints and feathers were left in the chicken pen.
At first, the people of the village thought that the neighboring village had stolen their livestock while they were taking refuge. After several rounds of scolding, strange things happened again.
This time there was nothing missing, but someone heard someone talking inside near the bell and drum tower at night. But when I walked in, I found no one.
If one or two people heard it, it can be understood that they misheard it or hallucinated. But a lot of people hear talking. They don't understand what is being said, but what is certain is that there is something inside. When you walk in, you can see everything through all the corners.
If the matter ends here, then this matter will be a folk anecdote at best, and it will not be circulated.
It was in the winter of 1999 that this suspenseful story really made it smell of blood.
It had never snowed so much in Hayama Village, and after one night, the sky and the earth were white, and the snow was 5 centimeters thick. It was in this vast white expanse that the people who lived near the bell and drum tower found a different color.
Red.
The dead man was a man in his forties in the village. It is said that this person played mahjong all night at a friend's house at the end of the village last night, and only dispersed at four o'clock in the morning and went to the house at the head of the village. It was snowing heavily, either because of the urgency to urinate, or because it was too cold and wanted to go into the building to take shelter. It's just that this time I entered, and I never came out again.
There are only about 40 families in Yeshan Village, and everyone knows the roots and gets along very well, so it is impossible for such a thing as a vendetta to happen. What's even worse is that someone found that there were no footprints in the snow outside except for the footprints of the man alone. That is, the murderer disappeared out of thin air.
The people in the village called the police, first from the police station, then from the city, and finally from the province. In the end, the whole thing was handed over to an organization that they couldn't name.
In short, there is no useful news from the mouths of the villagers.
Later, the rural transformation began, and the Renju Village of Yeshan Village was relocated to the vicinity of Yinshi, which is far away from Yeshan Village. Except for Hayama Village, the other surrounding villages have moved to new places and live in small western-style buildings divided by the government.
Just when they felt that the air outside was not as good as the air in the mountains, an extremely tragic confrontation was taking place in the mountains they were thinking about.
It was February 26, 2002.
This day happened to be Su Tang's 9th birthday.
In the last paragraph, Chen Mu didn't tell Su Tang because he couldn't be sure of the truth. After listening, Su Tang was silent for a while.
"I felt like I was telling a fake story. ”
This is different from the trick they said.
"Seeing a lot of things is not necessarily believing, let alone hearing. ”
"And you saw it with your own eyes?"
"I haven't seen it. ”
"Then how do you know so well?"
"Because I'm from the Silver City. ”
"Really?"
Su Tang felt that it was definitely not the reason.
This story, though not as well-known and mysterious as the Bermuda Triangle. But after thinking about many things, I felt a chill down my spine.
For example, where did the lost chickens and ducks go? Who is the person talking in the bell tower, and is there really someone in it? How did that person die in the end? Accidental or deliberate murder.
"Could it be a high-dimensional creature?"
Su Tang thought that Chen Mu didn't hear clearly, and explained, "I have read Liu Da's "Three-Body Problem", and there is a paragraph in it that describes a person who inadvertently enters the thinking space, and in that space, it is easy for you to do whatever you want to do in the three-dimensional world. For example, you can keep someone's body without any damage and get his heart through the air. ”
"Have you seen "The Three-Body Problem"?"
He Fan, who was behind, heard Su Tang's words, and closed the magazine he was reading in surprise.
Trisomy ...... Three-Body Problem, he was shocked to see another classmate in school who had also read this book. This novel, serialized in Science Fiction World, was the cornerstone of his dedication to physics, and it was also the enlightenment, and no one knew how important this book was to him.
Su Tang looked at him suspiciously, was he surprised to see "The Three-Body Problem"? This is a work that can win the Hugo Award! She is still short of playing the heroine of the third part! Later, after reading this novel, she pushed down the role of Cheng Xin. This character, she doesn't like very much.
Oh.
Su Tang only reacted, it was still 2010. Maybe the book wasn't all written at this time! And before it won the award, very few people knew about it.
"Why haven't I seen this plot you said?" He Fan leaned out, wanting to get closer to Su Tang, "How many parts have you watched?
It may be that He Fan is too enthusiastic, and Mo Meng, who was sitting in front of him, explained to Su Tang: "He is a physics fan and likes science fiction very much. ”
I heard Mo Meng say it when we ate together before. He Fan's physics results are placed in the whole province, and he said that no one dares to call him the first in second. In my third year of high school, I published many papers with my physics teacher, many of which were included in SCI literature, which is very valuable for reference. In particular, he has made great achievements in the discovery and research of different magnetic fields.
Not to mention that the watch Mo Meng was wearing was half of his credit.
"My favorite is this novel, no, it can't be called a novel, it should be my guide. He Fan said excitedly, "I'm sure that in a few years, this novel will definitely be famous at home and abroad! It will definitely set off a domestic tide of science fiction physics!"
