Chapter 5: Fog
It took a long time for Qiao Hai to recover, but his hands were still trembling. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info took out the cigarette from his pocket for a long time. After lighting it, he threw the cigarette to his brothers. He took a hard puff and let the cigarette spin in his lungs a few times before exhaling it.
Brother Yun was also smoking silently, and suddenly his eyes fell on his watch. After thinking quietly for a long time, he asked hesitantly, "Brothers, something is wrong." It was half past nine when we came back from the road, and we rested after eating, and Qiao Hai and I were on the first shift. Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Qin Song and said, "Brother Yun, if you have any ideas, just say it directly." We know all of this. ”
Brother Yun regained his usual calm at this time, and said softly: "Qiao Hai and I just stayed for a while, and there was a fog outside, and then there was a rooster crowing. Normally, the first crowing of a rooster is between half-past four and five, but my watch is now only half-past twelve. This means that there is a difference of four hours between the time in the village and us. In other words, the highway we started to see should actually be real.
As for why it's not the mountain we came from, I don't know yet. I'm going to make sure there's one more thing to be sure. You don't have to come with me, I'll see for myself. ”
Hearing this, Qin Feng stood up and said, "What are you talking about? Of course we're all in this together, and we can't let you go on an adventure alone. ”
Qiao Hai Chengmo and Qin Song nodded. Brother Yun frowned and said, "It's not that exaggerated, it's better for me to be alone." You just wait here, and I'll be back in a moment. ”
Before Qin Song could say anything more, Brother Yun stepped out of the gate of the courtyard. Waiting is perhaps the most frustrating and impatient, especially in this case, it is simply heartbreaking.
After about two or three hours like this, Brother Yun came back, looking thoughtful. The second eldest of the Qin family couldn't bear it the most, and said, "Brother Yun, what did you see outside?" Why don't you speak? Didn't you say sure things? Are you sure? ”
Brother Yun nodded and said, "It's nothing, just look at what's on the outside of the fog." When you come out, you will know that this hellish place is simply incredible, but there is no danger. ”
As soon as they heard Brother Yun say this, the rest of the people looked at each other, according to Brother Yun's habit, they generally wouldn't say this, unless something very incomprehensible happened. But after what has just happened, what else can't appear? In addition, for Brother Yun, everyone trusts him unconditionally. Since Brother Yun said that there is no danger, let's go out and have a look.
After Qiao Hai and the others stepped out of the gate one after another, they were all stunned, the sun was shining outside the courtyard gate, and the main road in the village was very noisy with people, and the collapsed houses that they saw with their own eyes yesterday were now intact.
Cheng Mo looked carefully and found that the villagers looked natural and did not have a gloomy feeling, as if they were ordinary rural areas in China, the only thing that made a few people puzzled was that the villagers' clothing, whether they were old or young, was the style of the 90s of the last century, especially the bicycle ridden by a young man turned out to be a brand-new 28 bar. The earthen walls of the houses are full of slogans characteristic of the 90s, such as "one person has more than one child, the whole village is ligated", "if the people in the mountains want to be rich, they should have fewer children and more trees" and so on can be seen everywhere.
However, it was still like in the morning, and the villagers turned a blind eye to Cheng Mo and the others. The bold Qin Lao Er deliberately found a young man to bump into him, but it was useless, it was still like passing through the air.
Brother Yun said to Cheng Mo: "I just walked around the village, went to the village committee to take a look, and found that the latest newspaper there was actually August 27, 1993. It's also unbelievable. Could it be that the difference between this village and us is not four hours, but more than 20 years? It's ridiculous too. ”
Cheng Mo thought for a while and said: "Lao Yun, I have an idea, you just said that the latest newspaper is August 27, 93, which means that something must have happened on this day of the year, if you want to know, it depends on whether anything will happen in the village tonight." In addition, your old lady was also a figure in the Politburo at the beginning, didn't he tell you what happened here back then? ”
Brother Yun grinned and said, "Lao Cheng, what kind of person is my old lady, you don't know?" Never talk about work at home. Now retired at home, he is even more silent about his family. But whether your hypothesis will come true, we'll know tonight. In fact, it was Qiao Hai who said what we came back yesterday, and I think it is very likely to be true.
Just now I went to look at the intersection where we came, but I still couldn't get out, and I tossed and turned on that road for nearly an hour. ”
Cheng Mo also nodded and said, "In that case, it will be really troublesome." But we don't have anything else to do now. Plus, our supplies are dangerous. If you have a full count, you can still last for five days. ”
A group of people looked around the village, but there was still no result. It's as if they're watching a documentary about rural life in the nineties.
At five or six o'clock in the afternoon, the smoke of cooking rose from every house, and the sound of calling for their dolls to come home for dinner was endless. When the two brothers Qin Feng and Qin Song came back, they were also full of helplessness. It's just that Qiao Hai hasn't come back yet.
The scene in the village has begun to change a little, and the houses that were intact during the day have begun to gradually return to their collapsed appearance, and the noisy village can be said to have become silent in an instant. The dense fog outside the courtyard still shows no sign of abating, and under the rendering of darkness, it becomes more and more eerie.
Brother Yun and Cheng Moqin's brothers gathered around the bonfire and didn't speak, smoking cigarettes one by one. Qin Song took it up at this time and said, "Brother Yun, it's not a way to wait like this, Brother Hai hasn't come back yet, is there any danger?" I'll go find out. ”
Brother Yun nodded and said, "Well, let's go together." But Qin Feng, you stay here, in case Qiao Hai comes back, you will wait for us here. ”
Qin Feng shook his head and said, "Brother Yun, this village is not big, but it is not small, I will go too." It's better to leave a note for Brother Hai, and if he comes back, he will wait for us here. ”
Brother Yun could only agree when he saw this, after all, one more person means more strength. A few people left a mark and went out.
The night in the village was damp and cold, and the fog drifted through the village, and the fog was getting thicker and thicker, and there were signs that the whole village was being covered. When a few people walked by, they could even bring up a small whirlpool one by one.
In this environment, the Eagle Eye flashlight completely loses its effect, and it can usually illuminate a pillar of light of hundreds of meters, but at this time, it extends less than ten meters and completely disappears into the dense fog. It was originally planned to go separately, but it was completely impossible at this time, and once separated, it would definitely cause people to go missing again.
Brother Yun and the others were groping and shouting Qiao Hai's name loudly. But no one responded, and after an hour or two, the fog gradually faded. Brother Yun, they finally found Qiao Hai in the westernmost part of the village, next to the primary school in the village.
At this time, Qiao Hai was wet with mist, his hands were covered in mud, he ignored the arrival of Brother Yun, and frantically scraped the mud with a knife on the wall of the school.
Seeing this, Qin Song hurriedly stepped forward and patted Qiao Hai's shoulder, and shouted loudly in his ear: "Brother Hai, what are you doing?" Do you know that everyone is about to turn the village over in order to find you? ”
Qiao Hai, who was scraping the mud, heard Qin Song's voice, slammed his whole body, turned his head suddenly, and saw that it was Qin Song, but he showed an extremely surprised expression, his eyes widened, as if he had seen something incredible. At this time, Brother Yun, Cheng Mo, and the bosses of the Qin family all surrounded him, and at this time, Qiao Hai suddenly stood up, grabbed Qin Song's collar with his right hand, and took out the dog-legged knife from his waist with his left hand with lightning and put it on his neck.
Brother Yun and the others were greatly surprised, since Qiao Hai was their best friend, no one was defenseless at all. I saw Qiao Hai pressing the knife tightly on Qin Song's neck, and shouted, "Are you real? Say, isn't it? ”
As soon as these words came out, the people on the side were stunned. Especially Qin Feng, after all, it was his own brother who was caught, and shouted loudly: "Brother Hai, what are you talking about, you are the second brother, what's wrong?" ”
Qiao Hai shook his head, unconsciously let go of his hand, and said, "I know there is a problem, I can't do it, my mind is all messed up, second, I'm sorry." ”
Brother Yun went up, slapped Qiao Hai hard, and said, "Qiao Hai, do you know what you're doing?" The second is our brother. ”
Qiao Hai raised his head suddenly, grabbed Brother Yun's collar as soon as he stretched out his hand, glared at Brother Yun with blood-red eyes, and roared in a low voice: "Brother Yun, I can't tell what is true and false now." I don't think we've ever been to this place. But you see, what is this? ”
With that, he pointed his hand behind him, and everyone looked at the wall. It's a wall of honor that every school has, and it's usually covered with photos of great teachers and students. But there are miraculously several pictures on this wall, pictures of four people. Although it is already very vague, Brother Yun, Cheng Mo, and the brothers of the Qin family are impressively listed.
