Chapter 19: The Secret of the Sewers (2)
It was as if someone was whispering, but it wasn't really heard, and it came and went. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Who's talking here? Is there anyone else in this sewer besides us?" I said.
"Let's go, go over and have a look," Da Mao said.
We were almost rested at this time, our strength had recovered a lot, the blood from my wound had stopped, Ermao was holding an iron rod to open the way in front, I was in the middle, Da Mao was broken, and I looked for the voice.
We walked forward from the place where we had just rested, saw a fork in the road ahead, turned right in the direction from which the sound came, and walked about sixty or seventy meters, but we did not find the source of the voice.
"It's strange, I heard that voice just now that it was nearby, why didn't I find it after walking so far?" Da Mao said.
We stopped, stood there and listened carefully, strangely the sound seemed ethereal, sometimes it seemed near, sometimes it seemed far away, but it came in the right direction, the direction we were traveling.
"It's a weird sound," I said, "look further ahead."
We walked forward about twenty or thirty meters, came to a corner, Ermao walked fast in front, turned the corner first, I and Da Mao just wanted to follow the past, only to hear the front of Ermao "Mom" yelled, ran back, and I was colliding with a full arms, knocked me to the ground, Ermao also stumbled and almost fell.
"Boss, are you okay?" Da Mao hurriedly came over and helped me up.
"You little rabbit, what are you running around with no head, what do you see?" Da Mao scolded.
"Da Mao, the owner, there are a bunch of human bones in front and in front," Ermao said tremblingly.
"What the did I think, a bunch of bones scares you like this, Bai Chang is so big, pull aside, I'll go over and take a look", Da Mao said and walked over.
After a while, Da Mao came back and said: "Dongjia, there are really a bunch of human bones in front, or don't go over, it will be uncomfortable to look at."
How could there be a human skeleton in this sewer, and the voice just now came from this direction, I don't know what the hell is in it, which aroused my curiosity.
"It's all right, go over and have a look," I said.
So, Da Mao was in front, Er Mao and I were behind, and we turned around the bend together, and sure enough, there was a bunch of human skeletons under the corner of the wall three or four meters in front of the bend.
Don't look at Ermao, who is very tall but timid, and said in a trembling voice: "Just now, that voice just now couldn't have come from these bone racks, right?
"Ghost you are big", Da Mao said: "I am so timid, gods and ghosts are afraid of wicked people, my Da Mao is not a good type, even if there are really ghosts, there is nothing to be afraid of, go over and take a look", after speaking, he walked to the pile of bones and squatted down to check.
I also walked to the front with a flashlight, crouched down and took a closer look.
"These people should not have been dead for a long time, maybe more than ten years at most," Da Mao said.
I agree with Da Mao's statement, because the clothes outside these bone shelves have not rotted, but they are quite broken, and the style of the clothes should be modern, and it can be vaguely seen that there are two skeletons wearing casual suits on the upper body and bloomers on the lower body, which is a very popular way to wear in the nineties.
"I don't know who these people are, why are they dying here?" I said.
Da Mao shook his head, "I don't know, I guess it might be a student in that school"
"Why?" I asked.
"Boss, take a closer look at the skeleton at the bottom," Da Mao said.
After being reminded by Da Mao, I noticed that there was a skeleton at the bottom wearing a blue school uniform, because the other skeletons were pressed on top of this skeleton, and the broken clothes and skeletons were intertwined and concealed, I really didn't notice this skeleton at first.
Also, after a closer look, I noticed that there seemed to be something strange about these skeletons.
"Da Mao, don't you think these skeletons are a little strange?" I asked.
"What's weird?"
"You see, these skeletons are not lying flat, but face down, I counted them, there are five skeletons in total, there are four on the top and one on the bottom, which is telling."
"What's the problem?" Da Mao asked.
"These people were killed and piled together," I said.
"Why?" said Da Mao.
"If they had died in some accident, or even if it had been a collective suicide, the bodies would not have all fallen face down and lying together," I said.
"It makes sense for you to say that", Da Mao said: "But, the owner, have you heard the story of Wang Bodang and Li Mi?"
"I know that Wang Bodang and Li Mi are both from the late Sui and early Tang dynasties, but what do they have to do with these bones?", I said puzzled.
Da Mao explained: "Although I have no culture, but I especially like to listen to commentaries and historical allusions, especially interested in the stories of ancient heroes and heroes, I admire their righteousness and heroism, it is said that this Wang Bodang nicknamed Yong Saburo, is the general of the Wagang Army at the end of the Sui Dynasty, is the marksman of Wagang Village, ranked seventeenth in the "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", once shot an arrow to kill the ninth good man Wei Wentong of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, he led the people to revolt, and recommended Li Mi, so that Li Mi replaced Zhai Rang to become the leader of the Wagang Rebel Army. He was loyal to Li Mi, has been with Li Mi, after Li Mi descended to the Tang Dynasty, was excluded, could not get Li Yuan's reuse, decided to rebel, and later fell into the Tang Army's strategy, and Wang Bodang was trapped in the 'Broken Stream', the Tang Army released random arrows, Wang Bodang in order to protect Li Mi, he used his body to press Li Mi under his body, was shot into a hedgehog, killed by several arrows, and later Li Mi was also killed by the Tang Army. ”
Da Mao finished telling the story of Wang Bodang and Li Mi in one breath, I secretly admired it in my heart, it seems that people can't be judged by their origin, and not going to school doesn't mean that they don't have culture, this Da Mao knows more historical allusions than I do. But I still don't know what this allusion he said has to do with the pile of bones.
Da Mao was still a little puzzled when he saw me, and added: "I don't think these corpses were piled together after death, but like Wang Bodang protected Li Mi, in order to protect the person below, the people above used their bodies to cover on this person's body before they died, so these skeletons will be what they are now."
"Da Mao said this is also very reasonable, but why do these four people above use their lives to protect the people below, I don't know what their relationship is", I thought to myself.
Da Mao continued: "There is another point I don't know if you have noticed the owner", Da Mao pointed to the root of the wall not far from the side, I looked at it, only to notice that there was a pile of cigarette butts there, obviously after a long time, some of these cigarette butts are stuck to the ground, and some have begun to rot, but it can be vaguely seen that it is a pile of cigarette butts.
"I just looked at these skeletons carefully, and found that each skeleton and the rags on the body have three top-down holes, these three holes run through the five skeletons, although some places do not hit the bones, or hit the edge of the bones, but if you look closely, you can clearly see that these three holes pass through the five skeletons, which should be the reason for the death of these people, but the strange thing is that these five people are not stacked vertically, the upper four are in order to protect the one lying on him below, these four people overlap in some places, and some places do not overlap, and the position of these three holes on the five skeletons is the same, unless the thing that hit the three holes is alive and has eyes, it is impossible to cause this. ”
Listening to Da Mao say this, I also looked at the skeletons carefully along the place of Da Mao's fingers, and sure enough, I saw that there were three holes on each skeleton, and the positions were the same, one skull, one on the left heart, and one on the lumbar vertebrae, these skeletons were not stacked vertically, but these three holes passed through the same place in each skeleton, it was really incredible, I don't know what could cause this.
Da Mao concluded: " According to the situation of the pile of cigarette butts and skeletons at the base of the wall, it can be inferred that the scene at that time may be like this: more than ten years ago, these five were probably students in that school, I don't know what was chased into this sewer, they may have run for a long time in one breath, ran to this place, saw that the thing did not catch up, just took a break in this place, wanted to take a cigarette and gasp, just when they finished smoking and wanted to leave, suddenly, the thing chasing them appeared, which may surround them or force them to have no way out, and as a last resort, four people pressed that person under them in order to protect one of them, and wanted to use their bodies as cover, even if the person under them only has a slight chance of survival, they have to fight for it, but they don't know that something has drilled through their bodies, and three holes were punched in the same position of their bodies, and these five people were killed on the spot. ”
Da Mao was analyzing, depicting at the same time, and I imagined the situation in my mind with Da Mao's description, and I felt that the situation was vivid.
After Da Mao's analysis, I breathed a sigh of relief, lamenting the bizarre and terrible nature of this matter, and also admired Da Mao's meticulous observation and analysis, imagination, it seems that different experiences in life can indeed bring people different abilities and different ways of thinking.
Although Da Mao's analysis is not necessarily accurate, from the situation of these skeletons seen so far, the most reasonable explanation can only be as analyzed by Da Mao.
Ermao said quietly beside him: "It must have been these dead people talking just now, it is estimated that they died too miserably, and the souls of the wrongs will not be dispersed."
I walked over to the pile of cigarette butts at the base of the wall, and randomly played with them with my foot, and suddenly, I saw what appeared to be a piece of paper underneath the cigarette butt.
I bent down to pick up the piece of paper, shook off the dirt on it, and found that it was a photograph, half a photograph to be exact, because there were tear marks on one side, half of it had been torn off, and the back of the photo was very dirty, and it was rotten in some places. I turned it over, the front of the photo was full of mud stains, some places had fallen off, and the photo vaguely looked like the outline of a person, I put the photo on my sleeve and gently wiped the mud stains on it, turned it over and looked at it carefully with a flashlight.
I saw that the person in the photo was wearing a blue school uniform, standing on the small playground next to the small building of the 771 factory, the right arm was extended, as if he was hugging someone, but this side of this person was torn off, I couldn't see who it was, the person in the school uniform in the photo was smiling, this smile is so familiar, I seem to have known the person in the photo for nearly 30 years, I have seen this smile in the mirror countless times, when I see the person in the photo clearly, my brain "buzzes" I felt dizzy for a while, and I almost didn't faint, yes, the person in the photo turned out to be fucking me!
I was immediately stunned on the spot, and subconsciously looked at the skeleton in a blue school uniform at the bottom of the pile of bones.
"Boss, what's wrong with you?" Da Mao called me several times before I reacted.
Because this matter is too difficult to explain, and in order not to cause panic in Da Mao and Ermao, I put this half of the photo in my bag.
"It's nothing", before I could finish these three words, I only heard Ermao shouting behind me: "It's coming, run!"
