Chapter Twenty-Eight: Ancient River Weir City, Old Woman Throws into the Well
The team leader who was responsible for patrolling the landfill followed Huang Fantian and his gang into the ground. The next morning, at six o'clock in the morning on October 8, when the rest of the team rushed back early to continue their mission, they realized that he had lost contact.
A policeman disappeared inexplicably while on duty, and no one dared to hide such a big thing, so he reported the situation as soon as possible.
The first person to receive the news was Wang Jun, the person in charge of the landfill guards, and after hearing the news of the disappearance of the team leader, Wang Jun was stunned at first, and then immediately asked people to report the situation to the institute and ask for support to find someone.
After the order was issued, Wang Jun packed up and went out, but he did not rush to the scene immediately, but went to the people's park in the city first.
People's Park is an indispensable landscape area in every city, which is usually the main place for residents in the city to play, especially every morning, there will always be countless middle-aged and elderly people rushing here to play tai chi, dance aerobics, or simply take a walk in the park.
The people's park of the small city where Wang Jun lives, only had such an ordinary name before 08 years, and after 08 years, it was renovated and rebuilt, and finally renamed Dayu Park.
When Wang Jun arrived at the park, it was still in the process of destruction and reconstruction, the original gate had been torn down, the new open foyer had not yet been built, and all corners of the park were filled with building materials.
Such a dilapidated scene has really made many people lose interest in this place, but there are still many elderly people who habitually come here every morning to take a walk.
The purpose of Wang Jun's visit. It was to find an old lady who had to walk around the artificial lake in the park every day, and let him find it easily.
The old lady looks very old, wearing a cardigan with a red background, in good spirits, feeling no different from ordinary old people, if you have to say something different, it is only her small feet that are extremely incommensurate with the wide fat body.
At this time, the old lady was walking by the lake, and Wang Jun quickly caught up with her. There was no rush to speak. Instead, he silently followed the old lady's side. As for the appearance of other people around her, the old lady didn't seem surprised, and from time to time she gladly accepted that the other party carried her through a few steps.
The two silently walked around the artificial lake, and Wang Jun comfortably helped the old lady to sit down on the stone bench in the park. He handed over a cigarette with both hands and helped the old lady light it. Only then did he speak: "Granny Zhang." I've got something to ask for your help again. ”
"Alas, little Wang, I'll see you back. If you have something to do when you come back, can't you walk with me, an old woman?"
"Uh......"
Hearing Mrs. Zhang's complaint, Wang Jun was speechless for a while, embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
When Mrs. Zhang saw him like this, she chuckled lightly and said quietly: "Okay, don't scratch your head, you young people are all the same, and I'm used to it." Say, what's the matter?"
"I have a colleague who disappeared last night, right next to the landfill, and it feels like my two brothers disappeared 10 years ago. Look, can you do the math for me?"
"What's your name?"
"Li Chenglong. ”
"Hmm. ”
Mrs. Zhang nodded, reached into her arms and took out a small burden, as she took out this burden, her originally fat-looking body suddenly decreased a lot.
When the bag was opened, the first thing that caught her eye was a piece of parchment, and the old lady turned her head and spread it out on the stone table next to her, and there was a jingle inside, revealing a large number of small objects.
She first took out a sticky note and wrote the words "Li Chenglong" on it, and then pasted the sticky note on the belly of a little strawman who had already been tied. After pasting the paper, Mrs. Zhang took out another bamboo tube, stuffed the grass into the bamboo tube, and then put a large handful of bamboo sticks into the bamboo tube.
After doing all this, she turned to face the west, chanting words in one mouth and gently shaking the bamboo tube in her hand on the other.
As time passed, the old lady's speech became more and more urgent, and the movements of her hands became faster and faster, until in the end, the old little bamboo tube was shaken by her so that she could only see a phantom.
It's hard to imagine that an old lady in her late teens could have such a speed of hands, and if anyone else saw it, they would be shocked.
But Wang Jun didn't show too much surprise, just stared at the old lady's hands tightly, and didn't dare to make a sound.
Suddenly, only to hear the sound of "pop", a bamboo stick flew out of the bamboo tube and fell to the ground.
Wang Jun rushed up with an arrow step, quickly picked up the flying bamboo stick, and then respectfully handed it to Mrs. Zhang.
The old lady put down the things in her hand and took the bamboo skewers, and at this time, the bamboo skewers that should have been smooth were actually rolled up with a piece of paper
, the three words "Li Chenglong" can be faintly seen on it, which is the sticky note paper that Mrs. Zhang pasted on the belly of the grass piercing person before.
"Ahem, Xiao Wang, I have three looks. Looking at the 'potential', talking about the future, people are in the house, signing out and landing soundly, and the handwriting on the famous paper is facing outward, proving that this child named Li Chenglong may be famous in the future. Second, look at the 'line', talk about the present, the name (life) is three inches down the stick, and the person who pulls out the buckle does not come out, which proves that the child is now being pressed by something and is trapped somewhere and can't get out. Three look at the 'luck', talk about the past, this sign is in the lottery, good luck, just the top of the signature, the name of the back sign, proof that the child's luck in the head, the past has been unlucky, after this catastrophe will get better. ”
After Mrs. Zhang finished speaking, she casually threw the bamboo stick into the small baggage.
Seeing this, Wang Jun hurriedly handed over another cigarette and asked softly, "Granny Zhang, according to what you say, my colleague is not in any danger?"
"There was no danger, and it was a good thing for him. ”
"Well, that's good......" Wang Jun let out a sigh of relief, and the next moment frowned, "Mother-in-law, do you know where he is now?"
Hearing Wang Jun's question, Mrs. Zhang stretched out her hand and patted the bamboo tube next to her, and the grass fell on the stone table in response.
"Interpreting the word, people trapped in the cage are 'prisoners'. Deforming. Man enters the soil from wood, and the wood in the soil is a 'coffin'. The child must have been imprisoned or controlled by someone, and went underground through the coffin. ”
"Being controlled into the ground, isn't that just a way for people to be buried alive?"
"Being buried alive is a death, if you die, there will be no winning lottery, there should be a way to live underground. ”
"What's the way to live?"
"I don't know, and I can't tell. ”
"Uh......"
Mrs. Zhang said, "Don't say", Wang Jun knew that he couldn't ask any more, and bowed slightly: "Mother-in-law." Thank you. When this section is over, I will come over every day to walk with you. ”
After speaking, Wang Jun turned around to leave, but Mrs. Zhang had no intention of letting him go.
"Wait. ”
"Huh? What's the matter?"
"Xiao Wang. Come and sit down. I asked for someone else, but I haven't asked for you yet, mother-in-law. ”
"I'm fine, don't ask. ”
"It's okay now. It doesn't mean it's okay afterward. Come, sit down, you don't have to miss this time, and say a few words with my wife. ”
Mrs. Zhang waved her hand at Wang Jun with a cigarette, and spoke with a tone that could not be refused.
Wang Jun was stunned, stepped forward to light a cigarette for the old lady, and then sat on the stone bench next to him.
"Mother-in-law, say it, I'll listen. ”
"Hmm. Mrs. Zhang nodded, and while packing up the things in the small baggage, she asked: "Xiao Wang, you just said that this lost child named Li Chenglong is similar to the situation of your two brothers who disappeared ten years ago. In the past this time, are you planning to find someone to figure out what happened ten years ago?"
"This ......"
"Don't hesitate, tell the truth to your mother-in-law, and your mother-in-law won't harm you. ”
"Well, okay. I don't hide it from my mother-in-law, ten years have passed, and my two brothers have disappeared without knowing it, and now they don't see anyone alive or dead. Originally, yesterday, the landfill started construction, and I thought I could find their bodies, but even the people from World War II were dug up, but there were no two of them, and I was not reconciled!"
"People during World War II, so to speak, the rumors of mass graves dug up are true. Mrs. Zhang muttered to herself, flicked the cigarette ash into the bamboo stick holder beside her, and asked again: "Xiao Wang, I have been listening to you all these years, and I can dream of your two brothers, and they will help you all the time." Isn't that great, why do you have to find out why?"
"Mother-in-law, I have seen a psychiatrist, I can dream about them, I can get their help, the doctor said that these are my psychological problems, I miss them too much. It's fine for a day or two, but if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that one day I'll lose my mind and go crazy. To solve this problem, I must find their bodies and prove that they are dead before I can let them go completely. It's like finding the body of the missing child and closing the case. ”
"Oh, then do you really want them dead?"
"Of course I don't want to, hey, no, whether I want it or not, they're all dead!"
"You're so sure they're dead, why can't you let them go?"
"I can't put it down because I want to make sure. ”
"Didn't you just say that with certainty?"
"I ...... Oops, mother-in-law, I let you go around. Forget it, forget it, let's not mention it, okay?"
"I don't want to mention it, but you have to stay with me today. ”
"Mother-in-law, don't make trouble, I still have to go to work. If you want to pull it, I'll ...... in two days."
"Give me your hand!"
"Huh?"
"Stretch out your hand!"
Mrs. Zhang didn't give Wang Jun a chance to finish speaking, and suddenly shifted the topic to another aspect.
Wang Jun didn't know why, but he obviously didn't dare to throw up his sleeves and leave, and honestly stretched out his hand.
Mrs. Zhang folded his fingers and looked at the palm, raised his hand and took out a small porcelain bottle and poured some unknown liquid into Wang Jun's palm, and then without waiting for Wang Jun to react, he directly pressed the cigarette butt on his palm.
This time it came down too suddenly, only to hear the sound of "pop", and a fire burst out of Wang Jun's hands. It was only then that Wang Jun realized that he jumped three feet high and shook his hand desperately. The green flame fell to the ground with the movement of Wang Jun's hand, and it was extinguished in an instant, and it took a long time before it completely disappeared from Wang Jun's hand.
"Mother-in-law, what are you doing here, you will die!"
"There are more than thirty people who have died, and they are still afraid of this little thing, and there is no shame in losing it!
"Oh. ”
"Let me ask you, have you ever touched a dead person lately?"
"I've touched it. ”
"When did you touch it, and why?"
"Yesterday, when the landfill started to clean up the garbage, I was in charge of protecting the mass grave that had been excavated earlier, and I saw a few bones thrown back into the mass grave. Further along, when the mass grave was first discovered, I thought about finding the bodies of my two brothers from there as quickly as possible, and dug the pit with me. ”
"Mass graves, it's no wonder that so many unjustly killed souls, remember to wear gloves the next time you do something like this. ”
"Oh, got it. ”
"Well, now tell me how that mass grave was discovered. ”
"It's a bit more complicated. Mother-in-law, do you remember the year before last, I invited you to see a big locust tree on the playground of the first middle school in the city. ”
"Remember, there was a lot of trouble with the big locust tree. What's wrong?"
"It's because of that big locust tree, a girl died under that tree the year before last, and a boy disappeared there. Last year, it was the bodies of four or five girls that were pulled out of the trunk. This year is even worse, a total of a dozen children have had an accident under that tree, and they have died, and they have disappeared. The impact of this incident was too great, and the leaders in the provincial capital were alarmed. Our side couldn't withstand the pressure, and the last fire burned the big locust tree. Burned the tree, and ...... under the tree"
"Wait, what did you say happened to that big locust tree?"
"It's burned, I lit the first fire. ”
"Ahh......h What a wickedness!"
Mrs. Zhang, who was originally calm, heard that the big locust tree had been burned, and immediately jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and her little feet kept stomping on the ground, calling "evil".
Wang Jun was taken aback by the old lady's unusual behavior, and hurriedly hugged the old man.
"Mother-in-law, don't get excited, sit down, sit down, don't fall again. ”
"What am I falling, tell me, what happened after I burned the tree?"
"When the tree was burned, a hole appeared under the tree. Our people went in to check what was down there, and this check revealed an underground passage, and at the end of that passage was the pit that was discovered later. ”
"There is a tunnel under the tree, and the tunnel leads to a mass grave?"
"That's right. ”
"That's not right!"
"What's wrong, mother-in-law, do you know anything?"
Seeing that Mrs. Zhang said so firmly that it was not right, Wang Jun suddenly found the problem and quickly asked softly.
But Mrs. Zhang looked up at the sky and said something completely mindless.
"One step and two wells, one place in the Twin Cities, this underground earth dragon for you to dig out!Alas, ......" (To be continued.) )
