Chapter 135: The Locked Room and the Third Floor
"What kind of place is home, you say? What kind of place should home be?
There are relatives who will not be good to you because of interests, who really protect you and love you, home is home, home is a harbor, and home is a safe haven. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, home can also be something else.
I don't know if you've ever felt that way? I just don't know when it started, maybe it was when you left home and traveled far away, and you couldn't go back to home. When you return to that seemingly familiar place again, there are no slippers at the door, fellow relatives are talking to themselves, no one is trying to think about what you are thinking, just a steady stream of demands, demands, demands.
A home is just a pile of materials, which can be piled up into a warm nest or built into the coldest, love prison.
Perhaps, those who can't return to their own homes have become eternal and pathetic prisoners in this cold prison who can't be redeemed and can't be escaped in a long trip that they didn't even know about...
Family affection is just a bunch of materials, which can be made into warm cotton clothes, or adrenal agents that make you run hard, and of course, it can also be made into something you can't throw away in your life... The great and heavy cross ... Bend your spine and try to press your face to the ground with so hard ... ”
"Ahh Far away... Bai Mao waved his hand, and was suddenly surprised to see Xuanxuan's eyes empathetic.
“。。。 That one... Compere... ”
"Ah?。。。 Yes... I'm sorry... Please continue. ”
"Ahh So, I have a big pie face hehe. Bai Mao quipped, obviously his face is not a big pie face...
"We, in the gentle moonlight, ran to the place we saw as our home in the forest.
Candles are used for lighting at night, and last night it was. Well, very strange candles, they don't smell of wax, they don't smoke, and they are many times brighter than ordinary candles, and when they are lit, there is not even a dark shadow in the room.
The warm candlelight came through every window on the first and second floors of the house, and the third floor was pitch black, but it was clearly visible in the moonlight.
That kind of warm candlelight warms our hearts, it is the feeling of being warmed very suddenly, the owner of the frustrated house, who looks horribly frustrated, is actually very hearted, and lit the candle early and waited for us to come back, in the house, not to mention anything else, a warm coarse tea and light meal will definitely still be there. Everyone did not speak, their eyes glowing as warm as the candlelight, and they ran quickly towards the room.
From the time we saw the house to the time we opened the door, we were really moved, we were really excited, we really started to believe in kindness, we started to believe that there are still good people.
And then what? Hehe, the fastest guy was the first to open the door, and he even shouted excitedly: the frustrated homeowner! We're back!
And then what? Their shouting continued until we searched the whole house.
The whole house, only the candles were lit, and there were still playing cards scattered in the living room on the first floor, and the owner of the house, and the four brothers we left to fight the landlord, were gone, and it was just an empty house with all candles.
The owner's room was nothing, yes, nothing, not a piece of furniture, not a trace of it, his room was just an empty room.
Did the four brothers help him move? What a!
Although I didn't pay much attention to it yesterday, this room is really normal and full of furniture and decorations. . . How is this all of a sudden today ...
Today I just saw the terrible scene of my brother being eaten alive in front of me, outside is a big dark forest, and here is an inexplicably empty cabin, in this case, even the bravest people will take care of it, Xiao Ash immediately decided, he shouted to everyone: Close all the doors and windows! Every hour tonight, I will take turns to keep vigil in the living room alone! The missing brother and the owner will look for it again at dawn!
There are thirteen people in total, Xiao Ash said, and then he stayed in the living room, he planned to keep Shuanggang all night without sleeping, in fact, this is a little inconsiderate, half a day is indeed twelve hours, directly he guards one night and another hour up A person can indeed maintain twelve hours of Shuanggang, but we came back very late, and the summer night is not so long, in short, now I think about it, there will definitely be a few people who can't take their turn. But to be able to make that kind of arrangement in an instant in that situation, I really admire him.
We were immediately obedient, and for fear of accidents, we even proposed to simply huddle in the living room and sleep well, so that we could take care of ourselves. But Ash refused, and told us all to go back to our respective rooms yesterday and go to sleep, but not to break the door.
It is also a wise choice, when something unexpected happens, in fact, the most afraid is that there are many people, when you face the irresistible danger alone and a group of you face the irresistible danger, you alone may run out and survive, and you are a group of people, but it is easy to be piled together and wiped out. People, when faced with the real problem of life and death, how many people are willing to give up their lives for the sake of others? The worst thing is that you hug me and squeeze, and the most unsightly disaster is actually the stampede that occurred after a large group of people panicked, the corpses that were trampled to death, the pairs of shoes that fell from their feet in a panic, every inch is carved with the ugliness of people's selfishness.
How can we sleep? The face of the golden pot lid is still floating in front of his eyes, and he will fly into his eyelids and continue to float when he closes his eyes, and I just touched the red hair when I left this morning. The hand I touched his hair felt like I had touched a curse, and I kept it away from me in fear.
I quietly looked at the rivet in the dark, and he was just as uneasy, rolling back and forth.
But tired in the end, I was tired, the frequency of rivet rolling gradually decreased, my eyelids were a little heavy, I was in a daze and half asleep, I heard footsteps, footsteps upstairs, the floor was in disrepair as soon as I walked squeaky, I jumped up with a spirit, and quickly pushed the rivet, and the thing actually fell asleep! I can't wake up if I sleep so badly! Who the hell is it? It wouldn't be the one in the woods today ... I picked up the clothes rack and hid in the doorway, but I didn't shout, for I was afraid that a shout would attract the attention of the people who came and lead him to me. People are selfish, I'm not here in the first room at the bottom of the building, maybe when he enters the first room, I can take the opportunity to pick up the rivets and slip away...
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the palms of my hands holding the clothes rack were full of sweat, and I carefully judged the footsteps of the man, well, came up, turned around, and entered the first room by the stairs.
Good.
I'm going to pull the rivets, mother. The legs slept like a dead pig, and they were as dead as a dead pig! I can't even carry it! I tried to pull him, but he still couldn't pull him, and all the strength he had to eat was gone, and he turned over, and hit his head against the wall with a dull thud.
I didn't wake up! Instead, the footsteps in the room changed direction! The people who had just entered the room immediately rushed towards the house where the sound came from! I really regret it, I was full of regrets in my heart at the time, you know, it's all life and death, and what kind of brotherhood does it matter! It's good to run away by yourself! The figure at the door flickered, what a! I didn't have time to think about it before I smashed the rack.
The clothes rack was clamped with his arm, and there was an emotion at that time, that kind of discouraged emotion, so he simply shouted at the brothers and woke them up, and he couldn't save me from this goods! I opened my mouth wide, but before I could shout, the man covered my mouth and held it in my arms.
That's right, you're very vigilant. It was Ash's voice, and he continued: I don't know who to call to change shifts, so you can come when you wake up.
It's a breath of air. In addition, I am a little ashamed, for a series of thoughts that should not have just popped up in my head. I followed Xiao Ash downstairs, and the guy downstairs who arrived at the time was sleepy, so he went directly to the floor of the living room to sleep.
In fact, it's even more boring downstairs, I don't have any common language with Xiao Gray, he is sullenly looking at the yellowed newspaper in the living room, I don't know what year it is, I guess I'm older than me, I took a pair of pokers to test today's luck. (A kind of poker game to test its own luck, it is said that only the first time of the day is accurate, basically the poker out of eight directions a ring, and then one by one to open the number of the same, the best luck is the eight doors are fully open.) )
Today's luck was unexpectedly bad, the first time all four doors were blocked, the second time there were two doors left, and the third time they all opened. Alas, do you have to test it a second time? It seems that it doesn't count inaccurately from the second time... I glanced at Xiao Hei, he was looking at the newspaper seriously, and it was several times back and forth, plus the time of the brother who fell asleep, it was estimated that there were hundreds of back and forth.
Suppressed, depressed, genuinely depressed.
Don't have the slightest common thread?
Yes, I can talk about today's experience...
Then I tentatively said, "Head."
Well? He didn't look up.
Where do you think the owner and the four brothers are going?
How would I know. Feel? I can't feel it, but at the very least, they're less lucky. In Xiao Ash's voice, there was a sense of indifference, even mentioning the life and death of my brother, it was this indifference that gave me courage and made me become calm little by little.
Where can you go if the light is dark? I said with a bit of a joking: either the four of them are fooled to the cannibals, or ah... I regret saying that the two are either, because at that time, in my opinion, the owner of the house was the trust of the cannibals, and he was almost 100% fooled, and I said what did I do with the two? I hesitated, because I couldn't catch what I said, I was going to stop there, but at this time, Xiao Ash lowered the newspaper slightly and looked at me with his eyes from the newspaper, the eyes were still indifferent, but there was a hint of expectation that I would say this or later.
。。。 Or... I deliberately lengthened my voice a little to give myself some time to think. What else is possible? What else is possible, it is not enough to say that the owner of the house took the four of him to the city to have a good time. My eyes were skewed around thinking about what could be put together with a little bit of music.
Ash saw that my eyes were full of balls, so he laughed and brought up the newspaper again.
。。。 Or... I was a little unwilling, but I really had nothing to say, and at this moment my eyes fell on the door of the locked room on the first floor, and then I said helplessly: Or, they are hiding in that door, and when we are all asleep, they suddenly come out and startle us.
I scolded myself in my heart. Egg.
But Ash closed the newspaper, put it on the coffee table, and stood up: I'm curious to see what's in there.
Ay? I'll just say that casually... I reluctantly followed, regretting the trouble I had given myself.
It was a large brass lock, very strong and sturdy, with obvious signs of being picked up.
Someone has picked this lock?
How can this be opened? I looked at it in a daze, there were traces of prying, and this mark was all into the metal, which looked like a professional tool.
Hush. Ash put his index finger to his lips and motioned for me to keep quiet, and he put his ear to the door and listened to the sound inside, but there was no sound. He knocked lightly on the door, then pressed his ear to it, but there was still no sound inside.
He reached out his right hand to the wrist of his left hand and pulled out a thin strip of ocean from the sleeve of his coat.
He stuck the wire into the keyhole and pressed his ear to the lock.
Will this also pick the lock? It's amazing... I was full of admiration for him, and I stayed by his side with that adoring eye.
He closed his eyes, his brow making strange movements, furrowing at one moment, then loosening, and after about three minutes, the great lock opened with a sharp click.
Wow! I just screamed, intending to slap some sycophants.
As soon as I said this wow, he covered my mouth, and he motioned to me again: Shhh
The room was dark and rumbling, but there was a smell of blood, and when you smell it, you know it's not a good thing.
Ash turned around and took a candle down the hallway wall, and he looked me in the eye: "You better not go in and look at it."
I was probably irritated by something in his eyes, and I said, firmly, "Head, please let me follow you."
Then he sighed and said, "Don't regret it," and he went in with the candlestick.
Then I followed him in.
It was an empty room again, and there was nothing in it except on the ground.
The smell of blood came from the ground, the candle was so bright that one candle was enough to illuminate a whole room, and on the ground, there were four pools of bloody porridge-like things, really bloody porridge-like things, blood, flesh, bones, organs, skin, all mixed together like scraps to form a mess of porridge.
How did this come about? It's like ... A person was standing just right, and suddenly he was trampled by a hundred elephants, and then the elephant lifted his feet and walked away, and a whole person was instantly hit by that huge force, and your whole person was instantly crushed into a pancake with huge pressure, and the whole person became a puddle of porridge and scattered on the ground.
Here, there are four pools of porridge.
The strong smell of blood and the four pools of porridge stimulated my nerves, my stomach churned, I leaned over and vomited, and in the nearest porridge I could see a bit like a hedgehog red hair still standing on end, yes... This is what I touched when I left this morning ...
I vomited even more violently.
Ash glanced at me: I said you shouldn't come in to see.
Then he ignored me, and said softly to himself: Probably, the four of them suddenly wondered what was in this house, and took advantage of the owner's inattention to pick the lock and entered, there should have been something in this room that should not be seen, and then the owner killed him. hand, then locked the room and urgently transferred the things.
I wiped my mouth and said: ... What the hell is something unseemly... And what kind of person is this owner, what is this killing. The way of the hand...
Hawkers, this can be regarded as the four of them taking their own blame. Xiao Ash still said indifferently, and walked over from the four pools of blood porridge, and by the candlelight, he found a little strange place on the wall.
It was a cracked place, like a broken wooden board on the inner wall of a wooden house, so it is not surprising that a wooden house has such damage.
But Ash held his chin and said, "The whole house, only such a broken place, is still hidden in this kind of locked house... Then he put his hand inside.
Then, without any sound, a staircase slowly descended from the top of the room.
on, be careful. Ash said, and I hurriedly followed.
The staircase was narrow, only enough for one person to pass sideways, and it seemed that it went straight up to the third floor before the second floor.
Sure enough, at about the height of the third floor, there was a door.
Xiao Gray vigilantly put his ear on it again, and didn't hear any sound, he put his hand on the doorknob, and twisted it gently, the door, there was no lock. ”
Bai Mao smiled tiredly: "I'll follow him in." Four pages of word.,The author said that he was going to replenish the liver.。。。 Well, it was time for suspense again, and he opened the door, and there was a not-so-dazzling light coming from the door, and I followed him in. Bai Mao smiled palely: "Guess what we saw in it that shouldn't be seen... ”
