I still had doubts in my heart, and finally chose to reject Lu Qiaolan.

Lu Qiaolan just smiled, then withdrew it and put the talisman back on her neck.

Zhuang Huai drove very slowly, not only because he was aware of his surroundings, but also because the water in the urban area had not completely receded.

When he stopped, the three of us saw the two-story building again, and it didn't move for a while.

There are many buildings around the archives, and the archives themselves are a bit old. It's not the old buildings of the big city full of the charm of the times, but the old houses that have fallen into disrepair, and they look no different from the common residential buildings of the last century, and they don't have the feeling of architectural design at all.

The door to the archives is a roller shutter. It's also kind of funny. If it weren't for the sign hanging at the door, it would have made people think that this was a private shop.

It seems that the archives are gone.

We finally got out of the car.

Someone was busy packing up at a cigarette shop next door. Zhuang Huai went up to inquire, and the people in the store knew two or three employees in the archives, but now that the power was out and communications were cut off, they couldn't contact anyone.

“…… It seems that I live in the neighborhood in front of me, and I have forgotten which one. It's a very fierce-looking old man, who has a bad temper at first glance and likes to drink. Oh, by the way, you can knock on the door and see. I remember that there was an archive that lived in the archives, and I was lonely and had nowhere to go, and I lived there after working in the archives all my life. The person in the store suggested.

Zhuang Huai thanked him, and Zhuang Huai and I were about to knock on the door to have a look, when we heard scolding.

The scolding was very close, and the next second it was shouting.

I scratched my head and looked over, and I saw a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties pushing an electric car with a sad face. There was an old man sitting on the car, who was commanding, and now he stretched out his fingers and pointed at me and Zhuang Huai.

"What are you doing?" The old man shouted.

Before we could speak, a head poked out from the shop next to us and replied loudly, "Uncle, someone has come to the archives to do something!" ”

"Who's your uncle!" The old man was full of anger and roared.

The electric car was pushed to the door of the archives, and the middle-aged man helped the uncle down.

I watched it for a long time, and I still couldn't decide if it was a human or a ghost.

Zhuang Huai had already talked to the other party and said that he wanted to borrow the historical archives of Huixiang.

Uncle waved, "What to borrow!" Now it's all flooded! The archives are also in danger, and you will come back another day. ”

This attitude is similar to that of the previous ghosts.

Zhuang Huai's face stiffened, and he did not demand as hard as before. He probably also has a psychological shadow.

The middle-aged man was polite, came up to apologize to Zhuang Huai, and when he saw the uncle's actions, he hurriedly went to help and pulled up the roller shutter door.

The roller shutter door is not sealed, and the glass door behind it is not sealed.

The uncle looked anxious, stepped on the water to enter, and called loudly: "Second son! Two sons! ”

The layout of the archives is the same as what we saw before. The hall was spacious, and there was nothing but a reception desk and a large mural facing the door.

The mural is followed by a corridor on the second floor, and there should be other passages at the back.

The uncle went in first, familiar with the way, and entered behind the wall on the left side of the mural. The middle-aged man hurriedly followed.

Zhuang Huai and I looked at each other. Standing outside like this, you can't see if it's haunted inside, so you can only go in and break in.

As soon as I entered, I didn't feel the coldness that I didn't see all the year round, but the feeling of dampness was more obvious. After all, the whole city was flooded, and the archives were not spared, but there was a step, and the foundation was a little higher, and the situation was a little better.

Walking in the archives, I heard the sounds of "pop pop" and "bang bang bang", and there were also the shouts of the uncle, as well as the dissuasion of the uncle's son.

Behind the wall to the left of the mural is a staircase. Next to the window, but facing the wall of the cigarette hotel next door, there is no lighting.

When you go upstairs, you can see a long corridor, but it doesn't really go far. There are three rooms in total, and there are three signs.

The uncle walked directly to the room at the end.

We were about to follow when we heard footsteps from below.

"Hey, who are you?" An old man walked up from downstairs and looked at us with a blank expression.

The old man seemed to be poor, and his clothes were a little sloppy. He also rolled up his trouser legs and stepped on a pair of slippers, similar to those who rushed to the rescue on the street. Even the expression of helplessness, exhaustion, and annoyance on his face was similar to that of most people at this time.

The two fathers and sons in front of them turned back.

"Second son, are you alright? Alas, I wanted to see how you were last night, and this rebel stopped me! The uncle glared at his son angrily.

The middle-aged man could only smile bitterly.

The old man known as the second son said "hi" and helped the middle-aged man speak: "He is for your good and cares about you." You're old, what are you doing here? ”

The uncle's anger did not subside, "The others didn't come?" Those who have no conscience! How much work do you do for them, and they don't care about you at this time! People are really ...... now."

"Alright, alright." The old man looked at the three of us, "You don't seem to be locals, do you?" ”

Zhuang Huai took the initiative to answer, and also said that he wanted to borrow the history of Huixiang.

"The archives in the basement were flooded. I was just rescuing it. But ......," the old man shook his head and sighed, "I'm old, and I didn't wake up to such a big movement yesterday." If you wake up early, you might be able to keep the water out. ”

"That's right, they're here to help!" Uncle said unceremoniously.

The middle-aged man shouted "Dad", and was reprimanded by the uncle.

"What about your Archives staff?" Zhuang Huai frowned and asked.

"Who's going to work? Besides, there are only five of us working here, except for me and Lao Liu, those three are all messing around. The old man said nonchalantly, "People also have families and rooms, so you have to be busy at home at this time." ”

These words caused the uncle to scold again.

"Then let's go to the basement first." Zhuang Huai said.

The old man nodded and went downstairs.

His movements down the stairs were a little slow, but he still looked very well-toned.

The staircase in the basement is on the other side.

If you go around the front of the mural and enter the wall on the right, you will see a staircase leading to the basement.

The basement door is a metal door, but again, it is not sealed and waterproof.

The flooding here is much worse, and the water level reaches the calf.

Because of the power outage, the only thing that can be used for lighting at this time is electricity.

And there are a lot of neatly arranged iron filing cabinets in the basement.

A lot of filing cabinets were opened. The file bags and folders on the lower level have been moved to the upper level.

"Over there are residents' personal files, and here are historical materials, with old newspapers and old documents." The old man introduced us, "If you want to check the history of Huixiang, help sort out the files over there." ”

? There are only two shifts today. Good night everyone.
