05 Orphan Babies - A-002
One of the biggest benefits of the job of a cemetery security guard is to be idle, after all, no one will come here for a walk because they are bored. So except for those family members who bought and brought their loved ones, they usually can't even see a figure. If it weren't for Guo Sanri's thinking about some useless things all day long, this time would not be too good. People always feel restricted by all kinds of restrictions in ordinary times, but when all restrictions are really lifted, endless emptiness does not necessarily bring happiness. After all, there are too few people who can control that inaction.
Guo Sanri is feeling a little tired of being too calm in the past few days. A convoy slowly approached in the distance, and strangely enough, there was an ambulance in the middle of the convoy. Guo Sanri secretly scolded himself in his heart, he didn't know how to enjoy a good day, he was not bored, this time it was good, he sent someone who hadn't swallowed his breath yet, this was too anxious, he was really guilty. If you can really be idle for ten years, it doesn't mean that the world is very good. Sometimes, people, it's so contradictory. He was still thinking about it here, the convoy had arrived at the door, and when he saw that no one had come out, he pressed the car horn a few times, Guo Sanri came to his senses, and hurriedly came out to see the documents and let them in.
When the car stopped, a nurse got out of the ambulance. Guo Sanri leaned over and asked, "Are you bringing your family over to see the seat first?" The little nurse was confused by the question, and looked at the young man in front of her, white and thin, with a silver metal-framed glasses, and felt very gentle, how could he say something inexplicable with one mouth. Just about to lose his temper, he looked at Guo Sanri in a daze as he looked at the ambulance behind him, and suddenly understood what was going on, it turned out that the stupid boy thought that the owner of the cemetery was in the ambulance. This little nurse is about the same age as Guo Sanri, not long after she first came to the hospital, and she is still in the internship stage, looking at Guo Sanri, this person is a little interesting, so she wants to tease him deliberately, so she replied casually: "Yes, I will come down soon, please let me go." Guo Sanri retreated in a familiar manner, the ambulance door opened, and several more medical personnel came out of it. An older man was holding a baby in his hand, and a few staff members got off from other cars, and it seemed that they should all be staff of some ** agencies. Guo Sanri couldn't help but be a little curious, thinking in his heart, did he forget any notice in the past few days? I don't remember any big people to be buried here. But looking at this situation, it is obviously not the treatment of ordinary people. Originally, Guo Sanri thought that an old man would come down from the ambulance. If he can understand that it may be a relative of a certain leader, or simply a retired leader, it makes sense. It is impossible to get any notice in advance, first, the leader is very low-key in doing things; The second is his own level, and there is no need to greet him in advance if there is any arrangement. But when he saw that it was a baby who was picked up from the ambulance, Guo Sanri's heart was a little unsettled. Look at the few people who got out of the other cars, there were three people, all in black suits, a pair of white gloves, and what was even more strange was that the three people were carrying a box, which was made of hardwood, which should be an urn. But the style is too weird, and it's too big, and it's completely different from what we usually think it should be. Guo Sanri couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, if it was something else, he didn't even know an urn when he worked in this cemetery, isn't it a joke. I'm also curious about how this box is so big. I wanted to ask the girl who was playing with me just now, but when I looked up, I saw that the goblin, who had a cheerful and big grinning personality, was now full of red eyes, as if whoever said another word would throw herself into your arms and cry. What's going on? Since the child and the box were taken down, Guo Sanri felt that the atmosphere was a lot more depressed, as if everyone had something on their minds. According to common sense, whoever encounters this kind of thing will not be in a good mood. But when I arrived at the cemetery, I was generally not too sad, because one was that the person was gone, and the family was basically able to accept this fact after experiencing the rescue of the hospital and the cremation of the funeral home; The design of a cemetery will make people feel a sense of peace, and their hearts will get a sense of peace and comfort, after all, this is another residence of the deceased relatives, everyone is here to give a ride, there is no need to grieve too much. Therefore, the ancients regarded tomb sweeping as a kind of festival. But at the moment, Guo Sanri doesn't feel this kind of ease at all, but is overly depressed, and people can't help but grieve, is there something unusual happening here, looking at this huge urn and this newborn baby, Guo Sanri is even more sure of his guess.
06 Orphan Baby-A-002(2)
This thing really made Guo Sanri right. This time the burial is really not that simple. The reason why the urn was so big was because it was not a person, but a village, a full 873 people, and the baby was the only living mouth left in the whole village.
Just a few days ago, there was an earthquake in a small village not far from Guo Sanri, this village is called Ajibao, although the name has an auspicious character, but the intensity of this earthquake is not small, and the tremor was felt for hundreds of kilometers around, and the entire village disappeared overnight. This incident was broadcast on TV a few weeks ago, but Guo Sanri was in this cemetery all day long, basically isolated from the outside world, and he was full of thoughts about some strange things, and he basically forgot about these things after reading the news reports, the reason why this news still has an impression is because he feels that it is such a big disaster, after all, there will be many people killed, so this cemetery may have to add some residents in the near future. But I didn't expect that the cemetery would be as quiet as usual for a few days, and it wasn't until today that such a big box carried by three people came. Guo Sanri came to the girl before, and felt that she seemed to be in a much better mood, so he asked casually: "Does this box contain a lot of people's ashes?" Why did you put it together? "A lot of people? Hmph, if only there were a lot of people. The girl said sadly, as if talking to herself, and then turned her eyes to the baby: "Her name is Sasha, we all gave her a name, she was in our hospital at the time of the earthquake, so nothing happened ......." Next, the words from the mouth of this seemingly innocent girl made Guo Sanri unforgettable for life.
The earthquake was as strong as the official one said, with post-earthquake measurements of 7.9 on the Richter scale. At that time, the reason why the village disappeared completely after the earthquake was because a very large crack was created in the ground at the epicenter, about 1 kilometer long and 500 meters wide, and it was bottomless. The location of this village is very remote, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is only one road leading to the county seat. It is difficult for large machinery and equipment to enter, and there is no effective rescue excavation in time, and after the post-earthquake survey, when preparing for large-scale rescue, there was another aftershock of considerable intensity, after this aftershock, everyone was surprised to find that the cracks originally caused by the earthquake disappeared completely, as if there had never been, leaving only a wasteland. Although things are a little weird, but a disaster like an earthquake is very little known to human beings, and the causes are complex, so after the earthquake, several expert seminars and post-disaster search and rescue reconstruction research were carried out, in fact, the main thing was reconstruction, and search and rescue was meaningless. When everything is in place, the matter is over, and there are not many reports about it. But this matter is actually far from so simple, why is this baby in the hospital, why is her family not around, this matter, if this seemingly innocent little nurse told it in person in front of Guo Sanri, he may never know everything, and he will not believe it. It is not an exaggeration to describe the whole thing in two words: weird and terrifying.
07 Orphan Baby-A-002(3)
Eight days before the earthquake, a couple was waiting in their hospital to give birth to a baby girl, who was "Sasha". Sasha is very healthy, but because of some lack of oxygen during childbirth, her little head is swollen and red, for the sake of insurance, the doctor recommended staying in the hospital for 24 hours for observation, and then taking her home when the blood circulation is normal. Since the doctor said so, there is no reason for the parents to disagree. But in order to save money, Sasha's father decided to send Sasha's mother home first and then come back to pick up Sasha. But at 5:13 p.m. that day, Sasha's father suddenly called, saying that he would not come to pick up Sasha and asked the doctor to help take care of her. The nurse who answered the phone was the girl who told Guo Sanri about this incident, this girl's personality was a little arrogant, thinking that it was the traditional thinking of patriarchy in the countryside, so she gave Sasha's father an education and warned him to call the police. Sasha's father saw that things were getting bigger, and had to tell the truth, it turned out that they encountered some strange things after they got home, when Sasha's mother was lying on the bed and looking out, she could always see a few black points of light in the sky, so she asked Sasha's father to come and see, but I didn't expect to look up and see that there were really a few black dots in the sky, not large in size, but very dark, as if the surrounding light was absorbed, and from time to time in this sky back and forth, each small black dot did not last long, and disappeared after a few minutes. originally thought it was her mother's postpartum depression, but he saw it himself, and a man can't also be postpartum depressed. Rural people are conservative, afraid that this matter will implicate Sasha, and they are also afraid that taking Sasha back now will have any impact on her, so they decided to pick it up later, how can parents not want to ...... their children.
After listening to Sasha's father, the little nurse had some understanding, but she also felt a little strange, both of them saw it, could they be lying? Although the founding of the People's Republic of China has been going on for decades, but those traditional folk ideas are still very serious in some places, and some of them have gone to live in the mountains in order to avoid responsibility. Originally, the little nurse wanted to call and explain the situation of the family, but I didn't expect that as soon as I mentioned this matter, my colleagues at the police station immediately responded that they had received more than ten reports of this incident and were dealing with it as soon as possible. "Go! I didn't expect such a thing to happen", she looked up through the floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall of the hospital and looked out, the blue sky was exactly the same as usual, and the sunlight was even more dazzling, how could there be any small black dots that would twist. The distance between them is only a few tens of kilometers, and it stands to reason that if Sasha's parents can see a small black spot in the sky, then the hospital should also be able to see it......! I was thinking about it, when the patients in the other wards needed to change their dressings, and the hospital was still very busy during the day, so I slowly forgot about it. But the strange thing did not end, the next afternoon, the hospital saw that Sasha's parents had not come back to pick up Sasha, and the reservation fee had only been paid for one day, so they decided to send a car over to see what was going on, and by the way, Sasha helped them back. The fare is, of course, deducted from the fare. Everyone took Sasha and got into the car, and they are a relatively large hospital in this area, so everyone has any more serious diseases sent here, and the hospital's ambulance team often goes out and is very familiar with the nearby roads, and some can even drive directly to the patient's door. But today, the driver felt that the situation was not quite right, the surrounding area has always been a wilderness, and I didn't meet a car on the road, which is completely different from usual, and what is even more strange is that they have been out for more than an hour, the surroundings are still like this, and the environment is still like that, according to normal speaking, it is only more than half an hour's drive to Sasha's parents' village, and it is impossible to drive for so long. In a hurry, he pulled over to the side of the road and told everyone about the situation. This driver is a local, he has been doing it for more than ten years, he has never gotten lost, and today it is really strange. Without much thought, everyone immediately called the hospital and asked them to send a car to pick them up. Some people who are familiar with the driver even joked with him. Twenty minutes later, the car from the hospital came. According to the GPS navigation positioning, they have already run most of the distance, and they will walk a little further to the village where Sasha's parents are. We also said before that there is only one road in their village that connects with the outside world, and the other three sides are surrounded by mountains, that is to say, it is difficult to get lost, all the way to the point, the two cars discussed it, and drove forward one after the other. But this time, just like they had just now, another hour had passed, and there was still no shadow of the village to be seen, just like a ghost hitting a wall. The people in the car gradually became less talkative, and after driving for more than ten minutes, the surroundings were still the same, and things were a little weird, so everyone decided to go back to the hospital first. The journey back was very smooth, and it didn't take half an hour to reach the hospital. Just a few minutes after sitting down, I received a call from Sasha's parents, and her voice was a little panicked, saying that she couldn't pick up Sasha for the time being, because the black dot appeared again, and it was slowly getting bigger, and the time was getting longer, and part of the sky was already covered with black, which looked a little scary. As soon as the doctors and nurses in the hospital heard this, they told Sasha's parents about the strange things just now, and if something really happened, nothing was necessarily safe, so they still advised the child to return to his parents. Sasha's parents felt that what they said made sense, so they decided to come to the hospital immediately to pick Sasha back. Of course, the hospital was very happy when they heard it, so they asked people to prepare to wrap up the salsa and wait at the entrance of the hospital for a while, so as not to go back and forth to go up and down the stairs to run the hospitalization procedures, and they could do it in the lobby. But the doctor waited at the door until dinner time had passed for more than half an hour, and no one had come, was there something delayed, and went back to the village, and the hospital called Sasha's parents, but this time no one answered. After a day of tossing, the doctors were also tired, and after carrying Xiao Sasha back, everyone went home to rest except for the staff on duty, but the weird thing was far from over.

The next morning, six days before the earthquake. Before the hospital could contact Sasha's parents, it decided to take her to the local police station for help. On the one hand, this is because she is afraid that Sasha's parents will abandon her, and on the other hand, it is also to report to the police that Sasha's parents have been missing. After all, what has happened in the past few days feels too weird. In the past two days, the local police station has also been troubled by the frequent reports of villagers, and this time it received a report from the hospital, so it decided to check with the person in charge of the village committee. The village chief of Sasha's parents is a veteran in his sixties, although his education level is not high, but he dares to think and dare to do, and has such a domineering spirit in a soldier, and he is sincere, so he has always been very popular with the villagers. After receiving a call from the police station, the old man seemed very excited, as if he had something to say, but when he learned that he was here to find Sasha's parents, the old man suddenly fell silent, and only reacted after a few calls from his colleagues at the police station: "None of them came back, haven't you met any of you?" This time, the police at the police station were asked: "Who are they?" What hasn't anyone met? ”。 It turned out that not only Sasha's parents came out of the village to pick up Sasha, but the strange events of the past few days made many timid and psychologically poor people in the village almost on the verge of collapse, and they decided to leave the village together after discussion. There are dozens of people in total, and if these people have not left the village and never returned, where have they gone? If this is to let the rest of the village know, will things get worse? Now some village ruffians and hooligans have taken advantage of the chaos to start doing mischief, and several despicable things have happened. If things continue like this, what will he, the village chief, do? Thinking of this old man, he suddenly became angry, and said tremblingly: "Comrade policeman, this matter is not a responsibility that I can bear alone, nor can you afford it, you must let the leaders above know that even if something happens, the leaders can be prepared." This sentence really made all the staff of the local police station feel cold in their backs, one did not expect the matter to develop so quickly, and the other did not expect the matter to be so serious. I thought it was just that the villagers were too tired, and their eyes were overworked, so I took a step back and said that even if there are really black spots in the sky, it may just be a weather phenomenon, and after a few days I communicated with the provincial meteorological bureau and gave the villagers a popular science program, and the problem was solved, but I didn't expect the development of things to far exceed their imagination, and even beyond their understanding. Even if the villagers are ignorant and have no scientific knowledge, the doctors and nurses in the hospital are all highly educated, can they still lie to themselves with nonsense? Thinking that the director of the police station could no longer sit still, he immediately asked people to report to the city and province, and compiled them into written materials and handed them in. He took all the police to the village to understand the situation on the spot. As a result, seven or eight police cars went out for most of the day, and finally returned in vain, and the situation encountered was exactly the same as when the hospital sent Sasha to the hospital that day. Half an hour's drive, a row of police cars, drove for more than two points, and they didn't even see the shadow of the village, so they had to stand by and wait for instructions and support from the city, but what they waited for was not a clear instruction but a greater confusion.

At the same time that all the members of the local police station were dispatched to the village to learn about the situation, the provincial military district received instructions from the relevant leaders and immediately dispatched a helicopter gunship formation of special forces to the village to conduct high-altitude reconnaissance. It turned out that after receiving the report, the city leaders felt the seriousness of the matter and reported it to the province as soon as possible. After consulting with the relevant state departments, the province held that this was by no means a local incident, but an organized and premeditated act of sabotage involving national sovereignty and security. There is a need for armed intervention and, if necessary, the necessary military action for effective control.
But when the special forces arrived at the coordinates as instructed, they sent back a message that was incomprehensible to everyone. There was nothing at the coordinates, not to mention a village, not even a big tree, an empty wilderness. After checking with the local police station many times to confirm that the coordinates were correct, they finally realized that this matter was completely different from what they thought, and no matter what the reason for this deviation, it was beyond their understanding. The only meaningful thing that can be done now is to prevent the spread of information and set up a task force as soon as possible to deal with all possible incidents. Although this is not a good solution, there is no mature way to refer to this kind of emergency. It is not easy to formulate such a general plan in a short period of time.
The police officers from the local police station, who are still on standby, are in a very awkward situation. Walking forward, I continued to look for the village, but I didn't even have a direction, and I went back to the police station and found nothing for most of the day, and all of them were dispatched. Where to put this director's face, and after more than an hour, he had to face this reality.
On the way back with the police station chief, a phone call came. The director saw that it was a call from a police officer who had stayed behind to report to his superiors. I'm really afraid of something, the director hesitated, and pressed the answer button: "What's the matter?" "The village is in chaos" ......, the director was just like this, making a little confused, this is two or three days of things, to chaos is not this time, the police officer who called immediately explained, not the previous village ruffians and hooligans, just now the village chief called, he found that the whole sky has been dyed black, there is no sunlight, no clouds, pitch black, you must light a lamp or torch to see things. The villagers have become more and more frightened, and some have even committed suicide due to extreme panic. It can also be felt from the phone that most of the villagers have been hysterical, only the old village chief, in addition to pretending to be strong with a strong breath, behind it is all some shouting and crying for help......", after the director hung up the phone, he looked up at the sky, the sun shook so that his eyes hurt, not even a black cloud, and their current location should be near the village, thinking about it, his back can't help but feel cold again.

Before anyone could figure out what was going on in the village, things were moving forward at a rapid and bizarre pace.
On the fifth day before the earthquake, a call came from the village, saying that the granddaughter of Mrs. Wu in the village had been saying since early this morning that she had seen her father waving to them at the door and asked them to go out to accompany him. But Mrs. Wu's son died in a traffic accident because he drank too much alcohol a few years ago. Subsequently, other peasant families with children in the village had many strange reactions one after another. But it's basically related to deceased relatives or some creatures that are not in reality, which makes the whole village even more gloomy.
The next day, the fourth day before the earthquake. The children in the village are gone. The more than 200 children in the village have all disappeared without a trace, leaving no trace. Everyone in the police station sat like puppets, answering the phone mechanically, listening mechanically, no one spoke, no one even had a special expression. Now they don't seem surprised to hear anything.
On the third day before the earthquake, the old village chief called and said that there was a fire in the sky over the village. What started out as a single point has now become very large and continues to expand outward at a speed that is visible to the naked eye. The local police station also felt a little strange about this new change, but they could only truthfully report the news to the provincial task force, and in addition, if there was one word to describe their current situation, it would be powerless. By two o'clock in the morning the next morning, the flames had dyed the entire sky red, and there was no black shadow left. Now it's supposed to be night, but it's the same as day, and it's brighter and brighter. Most disturbingly, the red sky is sinking, as breathless as the clouds before the storm.
This call was followed by a long wait, which seemed to pass centuries, and the phone did not ring until the last call from the old village chief, and the air in the police station was stirred again, and the still time was broken. This telephone recording was very long, and when the experts and professors of the task force listened to it again, they were still a little creepy in their hearts.

It was the night before the earthquake, only six hours after it happened, when the village chief called, and there was a loud hissing noise. After a few seconds, the voice of the good village chief came, sounding very panicked, and there was only one sentence repeatedly: "What should I do?" They're all back, all of them. "From time to time, some screams can be heard on the phone. The colleagues at the police station tried to understand what was going on, and asked while reassuring. After a while, the old village chief seemed to calm down a little, and slowly said that he saw his wife, but his wife had fallen to her death when she was going up the mountain to collect medicine a few years ago. Now he appeared in front of the door and kept calling him, and his whole body was on fire, and his body was as red as ...... fire. This was too surprising to hear it, and the little policeman who answered the phone couldn't help but blurt out: "What everyone? How could a dead man appear! As soon as the words came out, he immediately realized his faux pas, and after a pause, he said, "Could you be mistaken?" Uncle. The village chief was slightly angry, but more helpless. How could he ask a young policeman to fully understand something that he could not fully describe. After hesitating for a while, he asked the little policeman, "Can the director hear me?" The little policeman replied with a loud voice close to the microphone: "Now all the people in the house can hear the phone in the village, and it is synchronized with the main screen of the provincial task force, but the comrades of their local police station are more familiar with the people in the village, so they have been communicating with the village during this special period of high tension." In fact, the words blurted out by the little policeman just now are not only rude, but also in violation of the regulations, and they cannot express their personal opinions without receiving a synchronous reply from the provincial task force. Obviously, the little policeman is still young and does not realize that his mistake is very likely to have serious consequences. There was no time to deal with his mistake in time, and everyone's attention was focused on the faint intonation of the old village chief under the sizzling noise in the microphone. After understanding the situation, the old village chief ignored the reaction of the little policeman and continued his description.
"All the people in the village, who have died and who disappeared some time ago, are out there now, including my own wife, but I am sure that this person is not the old wife who has been with me for many years. Most of the people have gone into hiding, but there are some people who have no way to resist the cries of their deceased relatives, so they all go out, and once they go out, all they hear is screams. I'm hiding in a filing cabinet in the village detachment's office now, and I'm safe for the time being. As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of collapse, and the old village chief did not respond, a crisp sound of glass breaking came into the microphone, followed by a rapid wheezing voice of the old village chief and an old woman's call: "Old man, old man, ......", this should be a warm greeting, but at this moment it makes people shudder, the voice is getting closer and closer, and the police officers of the task force and the local police station who are sitting on the side of the earpiece also begin to sweat coldly under this terrifying voice. But all they could do was keep praying to the old village chief in their hearts, hoping that he would never make a sound. The woman's voice got closer and closer, and finally stopped, and the laughter of an old woman "hehehe......" came, accompanied by a heart-rending scream from the old village chief, and the phone hung up ....... All was calm. What happened next is known, a 7.9 magnitude earthquake struck the village, and many other surrounding areas were affected and suffered heavy damage.
After listening to the whole thing, Guo Sanri was silent for a long time, looking at the distant convoy and the flashing voice on his mobile phone, he seemed to realize a lot of things that he shouldn't know, but he didn't seem to know anything.
Conclusion: Heaven is neither true nor unreal, and it cannot be touched in it; The earth is the state of all things, in which life is conceived;
The naked eye can see that everything is the earth, looking up at the sky, it is the curtain of the earth, not the sky; The earth is like sand in the universe, scattered in the sky, so the heaven and the earth can be equally famous.
