It is afraid of loneliness, so it uses death to prevent other children from leaving? ”

"You've watched too many horror movies, how can there be ghosts and gods in the world. If it is really like your theory, it is a fierce spirit that died in the fifth class of Nanxun High School 83 years ago, then what is the connection between it and Heilongjiang, which is thousands of miles away? I have checked more than once, and there were no transfer students and non-local students in the first session of Nanxun High School decades ago, all of them were locals, and their identities were traceable. I was unsparing in pointing out the dissonance of her arguments.

After a pause, he said, "Moreover, the earthbound spirits of urban horror legends are defined. The range of this thing after death is geographically limited, and it is firmly bound to the place and cannot leave. Many of these spirits have grudges and become evil spirits. I don't think these kinds of things can really leave where they're bound, run to the heart of the city, run to your house and attack us. ”

"What's more, it can be regarded as the existence of a real earth-bound spirit. According to surveys by American urban horror story researchers, their energy is also limited. Even if it is an evil spirit, it will not harm the human body in substance. But the mysterious power in the vacant place is killing people one after another. For each person killed, the corpse presented evidence of binding and cruel injury, which must have been formed by an external force. ”

Yuan Mengchen looked at me in confusion, obviously whether he understood or not.

I sighed and explained specifically, "You've seen a lot of horror movies yourself, and you should know that. Earthbound spirits are roughly divided into two kinds, one is virtual and the other is whole, understand? According to folklore, there are quite a few that make people frightened and make people leave their realm, but they do not harm humans in the slightest. For example, some people claim to be home alone when they were young, and often hear the sound of marbles falling on the floor. Or hear a strange movement from the ceiling in some other place where there is no room on the first floor. That legend is the lowest type of Earthbound Spirit. ”

"It is said that everyone has this kind of earthbound spirit in their home, or rather, the house god. They live in your home, live with you, and may be kind enough to help you get rid of the imps. When they walk, they make a sound similar to marbles bouncing on the ground, and their weak spiritual power can't make you unable to hear it. ”

"And the Void Earthbound Spirits, though they will eat the humans who step into their territory and provoke them. Allowing them to leave their own borders to kill humans is something I've never heard of before. ”

"In other words, the unjust souls wandering in Class 5 are not bound by the earth, right?" Yuan Mengchen finally understood.

"It's not just that it's not an earthbound spirit, it's not even a wronged soul." I glared at her, "Ghosts or something, it's just horror and popcorn movie stuff, the real world doesn't exist." ”

"But, the fifth shift ......" Yuan Mengchen was still about to say something, but at this moment, my mobile phone suddenly vibrate, and then there was a text message with a new email.

"Help me see the content, I'm afraid it's a new clue from my friend." I couldn't get out of the way, and I told Yuan Mengchen. I didn't tell her the identity of the old man, as well as his part-time occupation. I just said that I asked a friend who was more of a jack of all to help investigate. Even if she was skeptical, she was very understanding and didn't ask much.

"It looked like a press release, old news from many years ago. The title is 'National Highway 102 Road Construction excavates a precious stone monument to witness the history of the bridge in Xiawa Village'. Do you want me to read the message? Yuan Mengchen looked at me.

"Read it and hear it." As soon as I heard the title, I immediately became intrigued, and I intuitively felt that this might be an important clue.

She coughed, cleared her throat, and read the words squarely, "National Highway 102 was repaired and a precious stone tablet was dug up to witness the history of the bridge in vain in Xiawa Village." When the reporter came to the newly completed chemical hall in Xiawa Village, he saw 9 stone tablets arranged from east to west. These stone monuments, just excavated from the extension of National Highway 102, deeply imprint the origin of the bridge and its temples, and record the history of the bridge as a north-south thoroughfare. ”

Xiawa Village is located on the east and west sides of National Highway 102, and there are more than 100 villagers. National Highway 102 was built along the former Qing Dynasty official road. Those who travel from north to south must pass through a small bridge called the "Vain Death Bridge" in front of Xiawa Village. Due to the increasing prosperity of the "official road", the "vain death bridge" has also been repaired and expanded several times. After each bridge repair, a monument is erected to commemorate the bridge repair process and the names of donors. With the passage of time, these stone monuments were scattered in the river, buried in the forest, and some became the foundation stone of the hotel. The "bridge of vain death" has long since disappeared. ”

After the excavation of archaeologists from the Heilongjiang Provincial Institute of Archaeology, more than 30 stone tablets of various types have been unearthed. Its 9 Yong stone stele, although most of the handwriting on the face has been blurred, can still be identified in the place of the inscription of the age of the monument, recording the previous rebuilding of the bridge of vain death, the process of the temple of the big depression. ”

9 Yongshi stele, the earliest erection in the fourth year of Yongzheng, that is, 1726, the latest is 1927. The carving skills of these steles are very exquisite, and they are carved with demons, evil ghosts and other figures, and most of the materials are common local bluestone.

According to researchers from the Provincial Museum, the steles were erected around the construction of the "Vain Death Bridge" and the temples nearby. Although there are few records of the "Vain Death Bridge" in historical materials, it is inferred from the Yongying Bridge and the South Ghost Bridge to the northwest of the bridge that the "Vain Death Bridge" should have been built at the same time as these two bridges. It is reported that the Yongming Bridge and the South Ghost Bridge were built in 1641, the sixth year of Chongde in the Qing Dynasty, which is 363 years ago. According to the prefix of the word "Yong", the "bridge of vain death" should also be built in about six years of Chongde.

According to the museum researchers, due to the important position of the north-south thoroughfare of the "Vain Death Bridge", local people have donated funds to repair the "Vain Death Bridge" and its temples many times. There are many stone monuments in Xiawa Village that record the construction of bridges and temples, and they should be properly protected.

The Municipal Bureau listened to the opinions and suggestions of archaeological experts and all parties, and after the reconstruction and expansion of National Highway 102, the Xiawa Bridge, which had been called for a long time, was officially renamed "Vain Death Bridge". After the completion of the village hall adjacent to the "Vain Death Bridge", the village named it "Vain Death Garden" and erected a monument to commemorate it. Then, the village excavated the well-preserved 9 Ningbo stone tablets and set them up in the glass corridor of the chemical hall for collection. ”

"Dead bridge? South Ghost Bridge? The Bridge of Eternal Darkness? Why do these names sound so scary? After Yuan Mengchen finished reading, he asked puzzledly.

"The naming of each bridge has the background of the time at that time. Perhaps because of the rapid water at that time, the villagers who passed through the river often died in vain. It is also possible that someone jumped into the river and died for some reason. In short, there is so much room for imagination that the name brings. You have to go to the local area to find out. I guessed.

"Then, do you think that bridge of vain death will have anything to do with the vacancy of Class 5?" She asked again.

"How could it be clear to me that you're suddenly asking me this question now. Let's look into it again tomorrow. I smiled wryly.

Yuan Mengchen bored and read the press release several times, frowned and said, "This article is mentioned on the side, and it is in vain to kill the north-south thoroughfare of the bridge." Is that Quzhou Quzhou? No, I've been to Quzhou City, it's obviously located in the west of Zhejiang Province, Qiantang River said. It's thousands of kilometers from this place. The official road of the Qing Dynasty was so powerful that the road could be connected to Zhejiang from Harbin, a bitter cold land. ”

Hearing these stupid words, I immediately burst into laughter, "Stupid, you Gao Shiguo must not have passed." North-south thoroughfare is an idiom, and the word 'Qu' means a big road, a road that extends in all directions. ”

"That's right." She stuck out her tongue cutely, "Anyway, I'm a science student, and it doesn't hurt to know such an esoteric thing." ”

"I was wrong, what are you talking about. You were thick-skinned enough, and I knew that if I didn't explain it to you, I would have been ignorant for a lifetime. "I suddenly felt that my skin was still very thin.

Time passed slowly, and after another hour of driving, the dim lights of Gaowa Village gradually came from in the distance. This village is not large, there are no tourist resources, and there are not many tourists on weekdays. So there is basically only one dilapidated farmhouse converted into a small hotel in the whole village.

In order to defend against danger, Yuan Mengchen and I pretended to be husband and wife and asked for a double room.

"It stinks." She pinched her nose and looked at the guest room with a depressed face. The mottled walls are painted in dirty colors, and it's almost impossible to see where the paint on the walls is. After the quilt was uncovered, there was a rancid smell, "How can this be lived." Not to mention the smell of the quilt, the weather is minus 8 degrees, there is no air conditioning in the house, and there is not even an electric blanket on the bed. It's no wonder if you don't freeze to death at night. ”

I shrugged my shoulders, looked at her wonderful expression, and smiled secretly, "Okay, my eldest lady, it's good to find a place to live in the countryside." Just in case, I also brought two sleeping bags of minus 15 degrees, and I slept in it to see if the bed was dirty or not, and slept until dawn. There's a lot of work to do tomorrow. ”

I pulled the sleeping bag out of my backpack and laid it out for her.

"It's all yours?" There was no need to be next to the stinky bed, her expression eased a little, and she was in the mood to lean down and sniff, "Have you washed this sleeping bag after it was used, it was all the smell of sweat?" ”

"I think I forgot to take it to the cleaning shop." I scratched my head in embarrassment.

"Forget it, but this sleeping bag looks like it's worth a lot. Let me, a beautiful woman with ice and jade, sleep in such a smelly place, no matter how I say it, I have to give some benefits. This sleeping bag should be used as compensation for moral damages, and I want it. She threw herself into the sleeping bag triumphantly and sniffed hard, "It smells, it's the same as the smell of you." Hee-hee, it's all your taste! ”
