Chapter 8: Pigs Talk to Pigs

The last glow of the setting sun was replaced by darkness. Zhang Tieta, who was dozing off on the sofa, was woken up by the ringing of a telephone. The call was from Zhang Shan, a village cadre, and after listening to the contents, his face turned pale again. Tremblingly asked, "Sister-in-law, how is she now?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I was frightened and fainted, and soon after I woke up, I was like an idiot, and I was screaming ghosts. Alas, old tower, if this ghost keeps making such a fuss, what do you say!"

Zhang Tieta felt the seriousness of the situation more and more, his heart was as heavy as a boulder, and his breathing became rough and rapid. Zhang Shan also felt this dull depression on the other end of the phone, and hurriedly changed a relaxed tone: "Tower, don't ......" laughed dryly, Zhang Tieta knew that he was too nervous, but his mood was always relaxed. I don't know whether to comfort Zhang Shan or comfort myself, and muttered: "It's okay, it's okay, we'll come up with a good way to solve it." ”

Hanging up the phone, he sighed helplessly and panickedly. Yang Mei, who came out of the room, asked, "Why are you sighing?"

"It's not because it's haunted. Zhang Shan's sister-in-law was hungry for a few days with a heartache and thought that there would be no trouble at noon, so she brought feed to feed the pigs. Pushing open the door of the pigpen, I heard someone talking in the pigsty, and I felt strange. When I stepped forward, I saw two pigs weighing more than 100 pounds, head to head, mouth open, talking......! Before he could cross the threshold, the person fainted. The feed he was carrying was pulled to the ground. It's okay, no one was killed. ”

Yangmei's face was obviously ugly. "Pigs talking to pigs?!Oh my God......" Before he finished speaking, a pair of uneasy eyes shot through the window to his own pigpen. "Tower, will it ?......?"

Seeing his wife's panicked face, Zhang Tieta straightened his chest and coughed dryly, at this moment, he felt that there was nothing to be afraid of being haunted. whispered a few words of comfort to his wife.

That night, Zhang Tieta was woken up in a daze, sleepy-eyed, "What are you doing?" he asked. Yangmei's eyes flashed uneasily, "What a sound! Listen!" A terrible scream was particularly piercing in the silent night. Zhang Tieta was excited, his spirit was excited, and his brain was very agile. "It's the direction of Zhang Shan's house, that's right! It's the howl that can only be found when killing pigs, strange, it's so late, who kills pigs? And ......" "Don't say it, I'm afraid." Got back into the bed, Yangmei hugged her husband tightly, and her body was still shaking uncontrollably. Zhang Tieta gently rubbed her back. After a few minutes, the howl died down and the night sky fell silent again. Zhang Tieta felt sleepiness come again, and slowly closed his eyes unconsciously......

When the sunlight shone through the glass window, the telephone rang just as the phone rang. Picking up the phone, it was Zhang Shan calling: last night, the two pigs he raised suddenly howled bitterly, and the family didn't dare to close their eyes all night, and they didn't dare to go out to check in the pig pen. As soon as dawn broke, his son couldn't bear it any longer, so he took a saber and opened the door to look into the pigpen.

Zhang Tieta stood still with the microphone for a long time, and the courage that had just sprung up was like a leaky ball, deflated again. Slumped in the chair, the whole person was soft and looked ownerless, as if he was like a small boat without direction, drifting helplessly on the vast sea.

He felt the gravity of the situation more and more. The demons have already begun to attack the living beings. The pig died last night, and maybe it will die tonight. As the family ate around the table, he couldn't help but say this, and after speaking, he realized that his mouth was too fast. As the head of a village, how could I say that? Unexpectedly, his words came true like a devil's curse. Zhang Shi, secretary of the party branch, called to report the funeral: This year's eighty-year-old lady got up well in the morning, but in the afternoon she said that she had a stomachache and went to bed, and when she called her for dinner, she had already lost her breath!

The town police station received a call from Zhang Tieta to the police, and drove into Zhangjia Village early in the morning, and two police officers who came with him in white coats conducted a comprehensive examination of the two dead pigs, and finally found a five-centimeter-long, hair-thin copper wire in the mouth, and there was nothing else. As for the cause of the old lady's death, one of the police officers in a white coat rolled her eyelids and said, "It should be a normal death." ”

But the people of Zhangjia Village have their own ideas. Because of the continuous vicious accidents, men and women of all ages have a sense of the end of the world. Zhang Shi, secretary of the party branch, first denied the cause of his mother's death - it could not be a normal death. The reason is that there is no disease, no disaster and no warning, and it is too far-fetched to say that it is a normal death. He told Zhang Tieta on the phone that it was the police comrades who deliberately said this because they were afraid that telling the truth would cause panic among the people. Zhang Tieta also found that Zhang Shi's analysis was reasonable. In the end, they talked about the same topic - why hasn't the sixth come back yet!

Similar incidents occurred in the village one after another, and Zhang Tieta couldn't go out if he didn't want to. But Zhang Yang didn't have a mental meeting. Zhang Ming asked him, "Brother, what do you think?" Leaning back in the chair, looking at the ceiling with his head held high, Zhang Yang expressed his opinion after a while: "There is one thing that is a little strange, but I still don't believe that there are ghosts." ”

"It's not a ghost?

"I can't answer now. I'll find out in two days, though. ”

"Really?"

"That's right!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

At dinner, Zhang Yang said to Zhang Tieta: "Dad, there is one thing that you agree. Zhang Tieta has been slumping his head for the past few days, and asked weakly: "What's the matter?" A pair of eyes like dead fish stared straight at him. Zhang Yang scratched his scalp embarrassedly and said, "Give me the TV in the room!" Zhang Tieta fell into the clouds and mist, and asked with wide eyes, "Isn't there one in the living room?!" He seemed to think of something, and then added: "Move to your room, the TV is your own home, you have to move it at any time, you don't have to ask Dad." ”

Zhang Yang shook his head and explained: "I use a TV to connect my work, which is used as an attempt, and if I don't get it right, it will break." ”

Zhang Tieta sighed, waved his hand, and said, "Move away! If it's bad, it's badβ€”people don't know when they're going to be 'bad', so they don't care about their TV." ”

Because his father's statement was helpless but funny, Zhang Yang couldn't help but laugh and laughed. I walked into the room where my parents were sleeping and picked up a 21-inch color TV.

Zhang Mingke was anxious: "Brother, brother, the TV has moved away, what am I watching! Also, don't you have a computer?" opened his arms and stopped Zhang Yangyang, who was about to go upstairs.

"Isn't there another one in the living room?"

"How can you look on your stomach!"

Zhang Yang smiled: "Once the experiment is successful, it will be better than a TV show!" "I use the computer for programming, and I can't use it in this regard." Then he explained.

"Really?"

"When did I lie to you!"

Zhang Ming happily followed upstairs.

Zhang Yang skillfully dismantled the TV cover, removed the circuit board, and replaced a technically treated circuit board. Then, he pulled out a small tin box from his bag. Zhang Ming asked, "What is this?" "This is the ultrasonic emitter I named and invented. It can remotely command flying objects with the same code within 20,000 meters. Satellite channels can also be borrowed through radio waves to achieve remote command. As he spoke, Zhang Yang used six copper wires to connect the ultrasonic transmitter to the circuit board. "You can try. He exhaled.

Zhang Ming stared at him with a pair of eyes, because he couldn't figure out what his brother was going to try. Zhang Yang debugged several times, and then applauded with satisfaction: "Okay!" turned around and walked to the door, suddenly remembered his younger brother, and beckoned: "Ming, follow me to the roof platform." ”

Zhang Ming was confused. But he obediently followed him to the roof platform. The eye catches: a "toy plane" made of aluminum alloy is parked on the platform. Slightly surprised and excited, he asked, "Brother, where did the plane come from?"

"My work is named Reconnaissance Aircraft 001. It has a total of 36 functions such as audio recording, video recording, reconnaissance, anti-reconnaissance, and stealth, and the most important thing is that it can transmit this information to a fixed receiving container within 0.05 seconds. The aircraft is 35 cm tall, 90 cm long and 40 cm wide, with two wings 43 cm long. ”

"Is there really so many functions?" Zhang Ming stepped forward and carefully stroked the plane, raised his head and asked suspiciously, "Will it be invisible?"

Zhang Yang laughed: "My silly brother, I haven't activated the function device yet!" took out two black square things from his pocket. "This is also a new work I invented, called 'functional battery'. As he spoke, he opened the battery compartment designed on the back of the fuselage.

"It can replace batteries with a variety of properties. Used on this reconnaissance aircraft, it can be kept for three hundred days without recharging. "Put on the battery and start the switch. Reconnaissance Plane 001 shook slightly. "Success! Success!" Zhang Yangyang couldn't help but dance with the whirring wind leaves.

"Ah! The plane is gone!" Zhang Minghuo said with a burning fire, "Where have you gone?"

Zhang Yang laughed and said, "It's invisible." Silly brother. He pulled out two pairs of red glasses from his pocket. "Here, put on your eyes and you can see. ”

"Hey, I really saw it! Huh, why are there six lights under the plane, flashing and flashing?"

"It's not a lamp, it's a detector in various locations. Through these detectors, it is possible to achieve a full range of reconnaissance without dead ends. Zhang Yangyang took off his glasses, raised his arms and shouted: "My No. 001 reconnaissance plane will carry out the major task of investigating the cause of the haunting of the whole village from now on. Only succeed, not failure!" Facing his younger brother, he grinned: "Second Lieutenant Zhang Ming listened to the order: General Ben ordered you to go to the living room quickly and move the video recorder and blank video tape to my room, there must be no mistake!"

Zhang Ming thought it was quite fun, and learned the salute of the soldiers in the movie. Since he didn't know whether to use his left hand or his right hand, he opened his bow left and right. He replied, "Yes!" and turned around and walked quickly off the platform.

Zhang Yang arrived at the room after a while. Zhang Ming had already gone upstairs with a video recorder and video tape. Connect the video recorder, install the video tape, turn on the power switch of the TV, and the screen shows a panoramic view of Zhangjia Village.

Zhang Ming stared at the screen almost without blinking, and couldn't wait to ask, "Where is our home?"

Zhang Yang didn't raise his head, and said, "There are still a few processes missing!" As he spoke, he reached out and took out the TV remote control, and took out the main parts with a screwdriver. Turning around and carrying the bag, he took out a keyboard that looked like a computer keyboard, disassembled the chassis, and installed the main parts of the remote control in a position that was left in place. The connected line is connected. Raising his head, he explained: "Because the circuit board of the TV has been replaced by a technically processed circuit board and connected to the ultrasonic transmitter, the receiving function of the original TV and the remote control function of the remote control have disappeared. Insert the main parts of the remote control into the keyboard and connect it, the same is the same as the remote control, the keyboard does not need to be connected to the TV, holding the keyboard, I can command all the functions while lying on the bed. Press the F and R buttons, and the screen displays: the flying object and the ground control altitude is 160 meters, and the monitoring area is 3.6Γ—3.4 kilometers. "This is the size of our village. Pressed the U button and hit the W button twice, and a line of words popped up on the screen: Monitor Zhang Yang's family. In a moment, the text disappeared, revealing a panoramic view of the rooftop platform on the screen.

Zhang Ming couldn't help but ask, "It's just the roof of the building, how can you monitor anything?" Zhang Yang smiled slightly and didn't answer. Then I pressed the P, H, J, M keys. Screen Pop Up: Penetrate Obstacle Monitoring. As the text disappears, a panorama of the second floor appears on the screen. Zhang Ming exclaimed, "It's me, brother, you're so cool!" and then a panorama downstairs appeared on the screen. Zhang Ming shouted again: "Look! This is Dad! Wow! Mom is cooking." Hey, Dad still has a bitter face. …… Oops! There's a cigarette butt left, don't throw it away!" turned his head and asked, "Why does the TV have so many functions?" Cocking his thumb, "Brother, you're really not simple!"

"Don't you say: the transformation of functions, at the moment, it is more computer than a computer!" Zhang Yang said with infinite yearning: "Our head teacher, Professor Wang, has a mobile phone, and after the technological transformation of his brain, there are more than 30 kinds of functions, so is it not simple?"

Press the function button to return to monitor the whole village, turn off the TV casually, and start the video recording function. Zhang Yang said, "Brother, I'll give you a task, help me change the tape as required, and I'll go to the town to do some errands." ”

"Brother, aren't you afraid of ghosts?"

"I'm not afraid of ghosts! There are no ghosts in this world. There are three major factors in the legendary haunting: one is that people are suspicious and suspicious, once they encounter something strange and can't find the answer for a while, they say that they are haunted. The second is that some phenomena in nature, such as climate, air, sound, etc., which cannot be explained by science at present, and are beyond the routine of life, are also said to be haunted. The third is that some people deliberately pretend to be ghosts. ”

Zhang Ming touched the back of his head and grinned. I wonder how my brother knows so many things. Subconsciously, because he has experienced it himself, he still thinks that ghosts exist, and what his brother said is still different from the facts.

Seeing that the eldest son said that he wanted to go to the town, Zhang Tieta first shook his head and objected, and then Yang Mei also said that he couldn't go. The reason is simple: the village is haunted. Can't go out. I have repeatedly emphasized: if there is anything, I will talk about it later.

"Dad, if the village keeps making trouble like this, will the people in the village still live?"

"This dad knows too. Anyway, you can't go to town anyway. ”

Zhang Yang saw that his parents strongly opposed and did not agree with his request, so his stubbornness came up. Push the latch and stride out the door.
