Chapter 296: The Boy Who Fell from the Tower
Why is Professor Tao so sure, whether he has ever investigated, otherwise why is he insisting that Luohe Town no longer exists. γLatest chapter reading. γ
And since this matter is so mysterious, where did Professor Tao hear about it?
I asked, "Professor Tao, can you take the liberty of asking where you learned about Luohe Town, whether it was hearsay or from some book?" β
Professor Tao seemed to be a little hesitant, but after thinking about it again, especially when Professor Lu was also on the side to help me speak, he finally told him what he knew.
The story of Luohe Town was told to his father by Professor Tao's grandfather, and it was purely used as a horror story to scare children when he was a child.
Professor Tao's father has been nurtured since he was a child, so when he grew up, he used it to scare Professor Tao, and the story about Luohe Town also became a lingering psychological shadow for Professor Tao when he was a child.
According to Professor Tao, his grandfather, Tao Dazhang, was a native of Luohe Town.
The time has to start from 1927, the Nationalist Government began the Northern Expedition, along the way like a bamboo, even a few cities, but everywhere he passed was full of war, Tao Dazhang's family died in the chaos, he had no choice but to continue to go north.
Due to the unfamiliarity of life, 24-year-old Tao Dazhang got lost, he walked into a forest, spared three days and three nights in the woods, just when he felt that he was about to starve to death, suddenly it rained, and there was an extra road in front of him.
Tao Dazhang walked along the path and soon came to a sparsely populated town, and this town was Luohe Town.
Whether he walked in unintentionally or was invited involuntarily, the rule of Luohe Town is that he only enters and does not leave, so Tao Dazhang stayed in Luohe Town that year.
There are hundreds of residents in the whole town, but most of them have strange tempers and habits, what to eat raw beef, drink chicken blood, it is commonplace over there, and many more terrifying things, Tao Dazhang does not dare to talk about more.
It may be that Tao Dazhang is a more flexible person, in short, he quickly integrated into Luohe Town, but because he joined for too short, there are many secrets in the town that he doesn't know.
For example, why do the whole town sleep at home during the day and only come out at night, and even if they do, it's hard to find out where they're sleeping.
Sometimes it's in bed, sometimes it's in the corner, sometimes it's even digging a pit to bury yourself in it.
In addition to these things, the town will actually see a strange black shadow running around, accompanied by a terrifying and abnormal whistling sound, every time the black shadow appears, the town's chickens, ducks and other poultry will suffer.
Tao Dazhang was lucky, married a girl from the town, and gave birth to Professor Tao's father in 1931.
But the good times didn't last long, that year the whole country was in turmoil, heavy rain fell from the sky, floods everywhere, and Luohe Town did not escape the disaster, the whole town was flooded.
Everyone refused to leave, and Tao Dazhang didn't want to go, but his wife disagreed, she said that Tao Dazhang was from outside, and he and his son couldn't be allowed to die here, let them go out to take refuge.
Tao Dazhang was reluctant to leave his wife, but his wife was reluctant to go out, and in desperation, he could only leave alone with his son.
In 1960, Professor Tao was born, and his father remembered what his grandfather had said, and when he was ten years old, he moved his family to walk around the place where Tao Dazhang had said, but unfortunately, he didn't find any Luohe Town at all.
Moreover, in the natural administrative villages according to government statistics, whether it is during the Republic of China period or now, there is no Luohe Town.
As an adult, Professor Tao was a little unwilling, and organized people to look for it again, but still found nothing.
That's all that Professor Tao knows, that's why he says it's impossible, he doesn't believe that Xiao Ai will find this place that only exists in his grandfather's story.
I don't know how to explain this to Professor Tao, because even I don't know who is the messenger.
I said, "Professor Tao, you couldn't find it before, maybe it's not the right way, do you want to consider taking me to look for it once, I have a hunch, I will definitely be able to find the entrance to Luohe Town." β
Professor Tao's expression seemed to be a little excited, but he looked at Professor Lu again and said, "Luo Changtian, I can accept your proposal, but can you wait for two days, Lao Lu and I will study the matter of the jade seal, and I will immediately set off with you to find Luohe Town." β
Professor Lu seemed to be in a hurry, and he also persuaded me: "Changtian, two days at most, when Lao Tao and I have settled the matter of the jade seal, I will let Jing Jing accompany you, her professional knowledge and adventure experience are very rich, and she should be able to help you." β
Quiet, I guess it's that pretty girl.
Jing Jing showed an excited expression, nodded and said, "Okay, Professor Lu, I just have this idea, then you guys hurry up and study it, and I'll talk to Changtian about something alone." β
I didn't know what Jing Jing wanted to say to me, so she pulled me aside and whispered, "Changtian, although you have amnesia now, there is something I think I have to tell you." β
I said, "Sister Quiet, what the hell is going on, it's mysterious." β
Quietly leaned into my ear and whispered: "Changtian, your brother Huohua wants to be friends with me, do you think it is better for me to agree to him or not." β
It's so embarrassing, I didn't expect Quiet to ask me this question, my impression of Brother Huohua is almost zero, I just know that he is my best brother.
I said, "Sister Quiet, what do you think?" β
Quiet blinked her beautiful eyes and said, "Huohua is good, generous, and can speak well, but he is a little unprofessional, and I feel that I lack some sense of security when talking to him." β
I didn't do a good job, and I didn't know what Brother Huohua was doing, so I said, "Sister Jing, what is Brother Huohua doing?" β
"He, he's been helping people to read fortunes and sell the ancestral talismans of Longhu Mountain recently, but he couldn't calculate accurately a while ago, and he was smashed by someone."
Well, this seems to be a bit unprofessional, and I don't know what Brother Huohua thinks.
Just when I was about to say something, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and a boy panted and said, "Tao, Professor Tao, it's not good, Zhao Zhengyang fell from the upstairs and was crushed to death by a car." β
Dead, no, why is it so evil, I died as soon as I got here.
The death of a student in the school was definitely the headline, and Professor Tao ran out as soon as possible, while Xiaomei and I followed closely behind.
When I walked out of the gate of the school building, I saw a boy lying on the ground on the side, and a tall SUV next to it.
There were a lot of students around, except for a few bold ones, most of the students didn't dare to lean over, and a few timid girls screamed in fright.
I ran over with Professor Tao and saw a scene that shocked me.
The boy's head was basically crushed, turning into a blur of flesh and blood, white brain pulp mixed with blood flowing to the ground, and one eyeball rolled to the side, just looking at me undeadly.
What's even more weird is that the boy should have died a long time ago, but his body was still twitching slightly.
When Xiaomei saw this picture, she turned around and vomited directly, and although Jing Jing didn't react so strongly, she also frowned, and she screamed cruelly.
The driver of the off-road vehicle was a female driver, and the whole person almost completely collapsed, sitting alone in the car and crying, shouting: "Never mind my business, no matter my business." β
Professor Tao took out his mobile phone and made a call, as if to notify a colleague from the security department to come and deal with it.
About ten minutes later, more than a dozen security guards came to the school, and the crowd of onlookers was quickly dispersed, and a tall man came over and asked, "Professor Tao, what the hell is going on, how did such a tragic car accident happen." β
Professor Tao didn't know either, and hurriedly asked the student who reported the news, who knew that the boy suddenly trembled all over his body, and said, "Professor Tao, Director Wang, this, this thing is so weird, our whole class is scared to death." β
I said: "Don't worry, say it slowly, his fall has nothing to do with you, you just need to tell the details at that time, this is just an ordinary falling incident, what is so weird?" βjs3v3
