From Gaoguo to Songshan, the high-speed train takes an hour.

Shen Yu begged me for help in the car to help her solve these mysteries thoroughly. How can I pass the buck for her request?

When she received my affirmative answer, she seemed to be much relieved, and before I knew it, she had rested her head on my shoulder and fell into a deep sleep.

She must be tired too, right? Even I felt a little tired, and my upper and lower eyelids kept fighting.

But I didn't want to sleep. Even though my shoulder was a little sore, I didn't want to move at all, I didn't want to disturb her dreams, and I wanted to continue to spend a little more time watching over her.

She had a serene expression, an even snort, and seemed to sleep soundly.

After entrusting her affairs to me, she should feel a lot easier, right?

I tilted my head slightly, looked at her picturesque face, and thought to myself that no matter what my previous ability was, I would definitely work hard for the people I love in the future.

When I arrived at Songshan, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. When Shen Yu woke up, she found that she was still leaning on my shoulder, and the saliva from the corners of her mouth was soaked through my sweatshirt, and she couldn't help but have two crimson clouds on her face.

We changed our shoes at a fast-food restaurant next to the train station, then found a nearby car dealer and rented another SUV as planned.

"Where are we going?" I asked Shen Yudao.

"This time I'm here to drive, Songshan is my home field." Shen Yu opened the right door and pushed me into the co-pilot's seat.

Songshan is in the lower reaches of the Songjiang River, which is the largest river in Qiling Province, which originates in the west of the province and flows into the sea in the northeast.

However, the Songjiang River is wide, the river transportation is developed, and there are wharves and ferries everywhere along the way, and there is an endless stream of passenger and cargo ships.

If Shen Yu found the black ship on the Songjiang River, then countless people must have also become witnesses.

Unless, these people are also like copper pillars, completely without the memory of the black ship.

Shen Yu drove into the outer ring and passed the Second Songjiang Bridge. Unexpectedly, she did not park her car by the river, but drove north along the outer ring road, towards Xuanwu Mountain outside the city.

"The Black Ship - not found on the Songjiang River?"

"Did I say it was in Songjiang before?" She expertly drove off the highway, then turned at the intersection ahead and headed for the Ring Road.

"And where are we going?"

"Didn't you see the sign? Xuanwu Mountain. ”

"How did you get to Xuanwu Mountain?"

"Can't you?"

"Don't tease me - is there a river in Xuanwu Mountain?"

"You'll find out in a moment." She said.

She drove her car and winded up the winding mountain road. I used to be her driver, but today I found that her driving skills are no worse than mine, and she is a veritable old driver.

Xuanwu Mountain is not very high, compared to Kui Mountain to the north of Weiyang, it is actually more suitable to call it a hill. Therefore, the winding mountain road began to flatten halfway up the mountain, and after turning a corner, it became much wider.

Shen Yu didn't drive along the main road, she hit the steering wheel at a three-way intersection and drove the car onto a boulevard.

The road seems to have not been cleaned for a long time. There are many dead leaves and rain marks on the road, and the leaves should still be the fallen leaves of last autumn, and the leaves are covered with a bunch of poplar tidbits like caterpillars, which look very depressed.

"Where is this? Aren't we going over the mountain? ”

"I didn't say I was going to go over the mountains." She smiled faintly at me.

That's when I realized that she had reached the end of the boulevard.

She pulled over to the side of the road, and when I got out of the car, I saw a huge iron gate at the end of the road, and a large rusty iron lock on the door.

"This ......," I said, pointing to the front.

"How about an abandoned third-tier factory, can you jump in?"

"What a joke. It is an offence to trespass on facilities. "I looked at the tall iron gate, and I saw iron dart heads standing up at the top of the gate.

"Besides, it's not safe." I added.

"Cut, look at me." Shen Yu stretched out her hand to push me aside, she trotted a few steps towards the iron gate, then grabbed the bar on the iron railing, climbed to the door with three strokes and five divided by two, and then did the same, stepping on the bar and jumping down.

"Come here." She called me through the crack in the door.

When I was a child, I was not good at climbing ladders and poles, and now I can't help but feel a little stressed when I look at the tall iron gate.

However, since Shen Yu has crawled over, what am I afraid of?

I took a few steps back, then screamed and rushed towards the iron gate. Although the action was a little clumsy, it finally turned over.

Shen Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud when he looked at me struggling to climb.

"You said you, why are your movements so uncoordinated." She said as she patted the dust on my chest and clothes.

"How did you know the way so well, so quickly?" I asked her.

"When I was a child, I used to climb this big iron gate a lot—it hasn't changed at all over the years." She stood in the courtyard, looked around, and said with emotion.

"When you were a child?"

"That's right," she said, pointing to a few dilapidated red brick buildings in the distance, "a third-tier factory that moved from Beijing in the 60s, and everyone called it Factory 407."

"When I was born, there were still people in the factory, but when I was in kindergarten, it was completely abandoned. Everyone moved to the city, and the buildings were empty, and then it became like this. ”

"You started climbing the big iron gate when you were three years old?" I asked in surprise.

"No, most of the workers and their families have moved away, but there is a large laboratory in the factory that is difficult to move, so there are some researchers who stick to the factory - my father is one of them.

"So, I lived here for another three years until I was in elementary school before moving to Songshan City. But my father still stayed in the old factory and continued to do scientific research experiments. So, like other children of left-behind people, I came to visit my father during the elementary school holidays, and then lived here for a few days, and what can a group of children play in such a high place where the emperor is far away—it's nothing more than climbing the iron gate, running the wall, and exploring the ghost building. ”

It turned out that her father was a scientist.

This is the first time she has mentioned her childhood and family situation to me, does this mean that our relationship has gone further? I listened silently, and my heart was very happy.

She said as she led me to the factory.

The area of the factory is huge, with office buildings, factories, warehouses, laboratories, as well as surrounding family buildings, kindergartens, elementary schools, and even shops and bathhouses.

If you put up the fence and lock the iron gate, this is a small ecological society - this is also a special product of the era of the planned economy.

Shen Yu pointed to the grass and things in the factory with emotion, and kept telling me about her memories when she was a child—for example, the slide was her favorite place before she went to kindergarten; The red brick building in the distance she used to live in; The cement pit covered with dead leaves was a swimming pool, and in the summer she would hold a tire and swim in the pool......

As she chatted, she led me down a road and then into another remote yard. There were a few tall poplar trees planted in the courtyard, and the scars on their bark stared at us like eyes without eyelids.

There is no wind, no insects, no birdsong, and not even the poplar trees that rise high into the air.

For some reason, I find this yard a little so quiet that it's a little chilling, it's so quiet that it's just creepy.
