7. Stormy nights
Not long after Emperor Wu lay down, it rained again in the night sky, which is rare in Australia, which is known for its good weather.
The lightning pierced the sky like a sharp blade, and the sound of raindrops hitting the glass windows could be clearly heard.
Although Emperor Wu is not afraid of being very bold, from the kitten in the bed to see Conan practicing all over the guts, but living alone in a strange place is still a little frightened, especially around the open grass, there is no light, and I don't know what fierce beasts are in the woods next to Huaxi Lake.
"Let the storm come harder!" This is the cry of Gorky's petrel. Emperor Wu thought that Haiyan was bragging and emboldening himself, and he wished that the storm would pass quickly and the sun would climb the branches.
Mr. Hans said that the power lines in the ranch are aging, and all the electric switches should be turned off during thunderstorms, otherwise the lightning will be triggered** motors, and the electric supply is located in the cellar of the storage room, and the main gate is also there.
There is a distance of 500 meters between the storeroom and the wooden house, it is in the southwest of the wooden house, and I don't know what purpose it was when it was built, the other buildings of the ranch are next to each other, only the storage room stands alone, presumably a building with a story.
Inside there were the agricultural tools of the entire pasture, and the cellar below was divided into two rooms, one for the electric generator and the other locked.
The weather is so bad that I am afraid that the urban area of XN has become a water city, and the flooding caused by the heavy rain will also cause the water pipes to burst, which is undoubtedly worse.
Emperor Wu put on a raincoat and a flashlight, ready to brave the heavy rain to rush to the storeroom.
As soon as he pushed open the door of the wooden house, a cold current ran into Emperor Wu's body along the seam of his clothes, and he couldn't help but shiver, but what he didn't expect was that the aura in his body quickly traveled from his chest to his whole body, and he could feel hot blood everywhere he passed.
It turns out that the spirit of Shennong still has this benefit, which can keep the body at a constant temperature, but Emperor Wu can obviously feel the slow loss of aura, and it seems that this thing also obeys the law of conservation of energy.
Behind the pasture is a small hill, and through the window you can see a few small trees on the hill being blown around by the wind, looking terrible.
The light of the flashlight was not too bright, but it was enough to ensure that Emperor Wu ran to the storage room, and his feet were drenched in this 100-meter run. Entering the storage room, Emperor Wu adjusted the aura so that it was all concentrated on his cold feet, and it quickly warmed up.
The kerosene lamp in the storage room was lit and half of the hut was illuminated. In the corner of the wall are piles of moldy vegetables, and next to it is a carpentry table, all kinds of carpenter's tools are neatly arranged, and old Hans has the craft of cutting wood on it, and the two rattan chairs in the open-air corridor of the wooden house are his masterpieces.
There was no time to catch his breath, Emperor Wu had to quickly cut off the electric switch, and the most headache for the ranch was to repair the electrical circuit and water pipes, which were a big trouble.
Emperor Wu pushed open the raised planks on the ground, revealing a cellar entrance, which Emperor Wu had only heard about before, and had never gone down.
I have seen too many cases of carbon dioxide suffocation in the cellar, and Emperor Wu doesn't want to burp at the beginning of the ranch.
He lit a candle, tied it to a bamboo pole with wire, and then put the candle in the cellar as much as possible, if the candle was not extinguished, it meant that the oxygen content of the cellar could sustain breathing, and the person would be fine if he went down.
As a result, the candle went out as soon as it was put down, and it seems that the cellar has not been opened for a long time, and there is a high concentration of carbon dioxide in it. Emperor Wu got up and opened the door of the storage room, let the outside space inside, and continued the experiment with the candle, trying back and forth several times, and finally, the candle was no longer extinguished.
Holding the flashlight in his mouth, Emperor Wu slowly climbed down the soft ladder. I don't know what Mr. Hans thinks, but he actually uses a soft ladder instead of a common ladder, and it is hard to imagine an old man in his seventies climbing down the rope ladder with three steps.
There was an indescribable smell in the cellar, like the smell of glue and soil mixed and stirred, mixed with some pungent chemical reagents, which irritated Emperor Wu to sneeze.
I went down to the cellar and walked a few steps before I came across two doors, the one on the left was locked, and the door on the right was painted with a lightning symbol, presumably behind the electric engine.
Emperor Wu was a curious child since he was a child, and the locked door on the left made him very interested, what was hidden behind this door? Emperor Wu tried to pull the big lock on the doorknob, and the iron chain wrapped around the lock made a heavy rumbling sound, which kept echoing in the cellar, and Emperor Wu frowned.
At this time, there was a muffled thunder outside, which blew up Emperor Wu's curiosity, and hurriedly turned off the power supply, which was a secret room of several square meters, which was dark, and the copper handle of the electric switch was illuminated by the flashlight.
Just about to pull the brake, Emperor Wu immediately retracted his hand, these hands have been baptized by the storm, if they are directly touched, they must be electrocuted into ashes. There was a piece of oilcloth next to it, and it couldn't be so much, so Emperor Wu took it and rubbed it and wiped off the water on his hands.
Pulling down the electric switch, the whole room went dark with the sound of intense electricity. Tonight is destined to make Emperor Wu commemorate a lifetime, under the light of the flashlight, he suddenly felt that he had matured, and in the future, he would have to face all the conditions of the ranch alone, and he would have to carry the pasture next to the Huaxi River alone, and then in the future, he would meet a favorite girl and give birth to a happy family.
After getting the electric switch, Emperor Wu climbed back to the storage room along the soft ladder, the light of the kerosene lamp was much brighter than before, and there was still lightning and thunder outside, he had just put on a raincoat and was about to go back to the wooden house to sleep, when he suddenly heard a sound, like the cry of some animal, and like the cry of a child.
Emperor Wu, who had stroked Sadako, thought that nothing could scare him, but this sound still really startled him.
This cry is very sharp, with these miserable, intermittent in the rainy night, like a newborn baby crying, or a resentful woman whose husband cheats and is distressed at home, Emperor Wu can't help but shiver, cold sweat breaks out on his spine, and he always feels that there are a pair of invisible eyes staring at him.
At this time, the kerosene lamp suddenly went out......
This TM is haunted!
When people are nervous, they will do the wrong thing, one is not steady, the flashlight falls to the ground and breaks, and it is not easy to press it.
With the spirit of Shennong and courage, Emperor Wu decided to go out and see who the monster was!
Emperor Wu leaned on the haystack and listened carefully, and the sound seemed to come from the corner of the wall outside the storage room. Following the sound, Emperor Wu moved his steps until the voice was only separated from him by a wall.
Emperor Wu dared to lie on the wall, and the terrifying screams were heard clearly!
I don't believe that there are ghosts in this world! Emperor Wu clenched his fists.
After five seconds, I was stunned, hurry up and silently recite Shennong Shennong, bless me safe, I will definitely not disappoint your old man......
Emperor Wu picked up an iron rod, carefully opened the door of the storeroom, and slowly walked behind the wall with a hunched body. The voice was heard more and more clearly, and God also hit a few lightning bolts from time to time to help the fun, and Emperor Wu mobilized the aura of the whole body to let them flow quickly in the body, so as to reduce some fear.
When he reached the corner of the wall, he could see the monster when he turned a corner, Emperor Wu took a deep breath, picked up the iron rod and turned around violently, and the sight he saw stunned him.
