The Ghost of the Coffin Chapter 4 The Pendulum of the Warehouse
At midnight, the train finally stopped at an unknown small station, Zeng Weiguo informed everyone to get off the train, there were already several large and small cars waiting on the platform, through the lights, I saw the mountains not far away hidden in the night, the huge silhouette is like a huge statue of a god, staring at us busy ants.
Except for the soldiers in charge of loading and unloading, everyone got into the car and continued to drive, I saw Zeng Rourou getting into Zeng Yongjiang's car with a tired face, and had the heart to go up to talk, but was urged by the second master to climb into the airtight truck covered by tarpaulin.
Although I don't know where I am, I obviously feel that this place is much more humid than Dehua, especially in the sealed tarpaulin car, in addition to the two of us, there are more than a dozen fully armed soldiers in charge of guards, the second master took out a cigarette and sent it around, everyone smoked, dozed off, and was silent.
After a bumpy hovering on the winding mountain road until noon before we reached our destination, we couldn't wait to jump off the train, and everything in front of me made me feel like I was going around that small train station.
Surrounded by dark green mountains, the only path that stretched out from the barracks gate, and before I could see enough, the whistle for the emergency assembly sounded, and everyone immediately stood in formation.
Zeng Yongjiang took the book to assign the room, I and the second master are still in the same room, find the house and enter, a strong new house unique to the wet white gray smell came to the nose, a half-arm-long gecko on the wall was frightened jumped out, scared me, the second master said unhappily: "What a broken place, geckos can grow so big."
The futon had already been folded and put on the bed, reaching out and touching it, it was cold and damp, the second master had a dark face, took out a cigarette and handed it to me, and the two of them sat on the bed and smoked depressedly.
At this time, the whistle of the canteen opened, we jumped up, did not even close the door and went straight to the canteen, from last night to now, I haven't slept all night, the rice has not entered, and the stomach has long been troubled.
The huge canteen is divided into two parts, one large and one small, we are in the hall, the chiefs are in the small room, when a bowl of clear water is brought to the front, the whole hall is in an uproar, the second master's face is completely red, at this time a chef who has never seen it jumped out without knowing whether he is alive or dead, standing in the hall and shouting: "Since the materials have not been delivered, each person is limited to one bowl."
The echoing words in the hall have not fallen, the second master stood up with a "poof", I stretched out my hand but didn't hold it, he went straight to the small room, stood at the door and glanced inside, turned his head back and pulled me up, and dragged him straight to the small room.
At this time, the chiefs had not yet arrived, but the chicken, duck and fish on the table had been waiting for a long time, the second master pressed me on the stool, sat next to him, didn't say a word, tore a chicken leg and handed it to me, and then tore one for himself, and started eating without raising his head, I held the chicken leg on the side, and looked at him at a loss.
Seeing this, the head chef hurriedly chased in, but he was still a step late, and when he saw that the two chicken legs were gone, he patted his thighs with an "oops" sound, and grabbed the chicken legs in the hands of the second master, and the second master didn't raise his eyes, and shook his arm to knock the head chef to the ground. ”
He just shouted here, a bowl of rice slapped directly on his face, the rice bowl shattered in response, and the person also fell on his back to the sky, only to see that the rice on his face was sticking with blood, white and red, lying on the ground straight "oops", at this time the kitchen also heard the sound and arrived, one by one with kitchen knives, rolling pins around us in the middle.
The second master glanced at it, snorted coldly, sat down and continued to eat, when someone suddenly spoke at the door: "What's going on!" ”
I was about to defend myself, but the second master stood up first, turned around and said with a smile: "Commander, I see the new kid who comes here to cook with a raw face, and I'm afraid that he is the enemy, so I specially help you test for drugs, it's okay, I've tried it all, you can eat it with confidence."
I saw Zeng Rourou following behind Zeng Weiguo, the two looked at each other, and she quickly looked away.
Zeng Weiguo looked around with a dark face and said: "Go out"!
The second master replied immediately: "Yes"! Pulling me back to the hall, a few people in the back kitchen picked up the head chef and took me to the infirmary.
Returning to his seat, the second master looked at the face in front of him, said: "Damn", picked up the bowl and ate it three times five by two.
After eating and returning to the dormitory, the second master kept pacing in the room, scolding as he walked: "Damn, what did you say that the supplies didn't arrive, fart!" The supplies left much earlier than us, otherwise they would have meat to eat, what are the officials, why do we have to eat white noodles, and we don't care if we are full."
Hearing him say that he wasn't full, my stomach resonated, and I really didn't know where to put a bowl of noodles, so I thought about it and asked the second master: "Where did you say the material warehouse is?" ”
The second master was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wicked smile: "You kid usually don't hum or ha, you have a lot of ideas at critical times, well, come to him with two cans of canned food, go, the second master will take you to step on the plate." ”
Stepping on a plate is a bandit's slang word, which means exploring the terrain. Since there was a half-day holiday in the afternoon, everyone was resting, and the huge camp was empty, so we carried our bags and walked around looking for a place where no one was around, and finally found a tall building with a huge sliding iron door that looked like a warehouse at the back of our dormitory.
There is no one outside this warehouse, I can't help but feel strange, it stands to reason that the number of people on duty in the warehouse and the shift time are strictly regulated by the regulations, is it because they have just moved in, so the personnel have not yet been arranged? But even so, why is this warehouse unlocked?
The second master also noticed the abnormality, turned around and asked me with his eyes, I shrugged, indicating that I didn't know, the second master turned his head and gently pushed the iron door with his hand, the door did not move, the second master looked back at me again, I nodded, he held the iron door with both hands, and there was a loud bang, and the iron door opened a crack that was one person wide.
Looking through the crack in the door, it was pitch black, and I don't know if it was the fog or the dust that fell when the door was opened, rolling and blocking the doorway, blocking the light outside the door.
I hesitated whether to go in, but the second master had already stepped into the door with his feet raised, and when I saw the situation, I didn't think about it anymore, and walked in after him.
As soon as I entered, I was surrounded by a strong strange smell, which seemed to be caused by something rotting and moldy, mixed with the stench of burnt wires.
The second master was hidden in the dark, and he was groping for the switch on the wall, generally speaking, the switch in the warehouse would not be too far from the door, and sure enough, the second master soon heard the sound of "click and click", but the light in the warehouse was still not on.
The second master said, "Huh? Could it be that the fuse blew out"?
I said, "That's troublesome, we don't have flashlights, so let's not leave."
The second master said stubbornly: "Never! I smell the canned food, and I want to go, but don't blame me for not giving it to you."
I couldn't resist him, so I had to continue to follow him, with a lighter, looking for the electric switch in the direction of the switch, and sure enough, after walking a few steps, I found the yellow wooden box hanging on the wall, and the smell of burning wires came from it.
Open the switch box, a small gecko lying in the switch, has been burned to charcoal, the second master frowned and said, "Why are there so many things in this place"?
Picked up the wooden stick and picked out the charred gecko, the second master quickly replaced the spare fuse in the switch box, and the moment the switch was closed, the entire warehouse lit up, and there were all layers of iron shelves in front of him, which were two stories high, and were full of all kinds of materials, whether they were vertical or horizontal, they were endless.
The second master looked at me and smiled, the two of them took the backpack from their shoulders, and strode towards the direction of the main passage facing the door.
The two of them rushed to the main passage, and as soon as they turned the corner, they were stunned by the scene in front of them.
I saw a person hanging out of thin air on the main passage, more than a person high from the ground, like a pendulum, swinging back and forth in the middle of the wide passage, this person was wearing a military uniform, his head was lowered to his chest, and his pants were dripping and dripping with water or urine.
The second master looked left and right, picked up a crowbar from the shelf on the side, held it in his hand, walked a few steps forward, wanted to see his face clearly, I stood in place and did not move, and after a while, the second master looked back at me with a surprised look, and said in his mouth: "Fuck."
I walked up to him, looked up, and suddenly a layer of cold sweat on my back, it was none other than the head chef who had a conflict in the canteen at noon, at this time he was strangled by a very thin rope, the wound on his face that was cut by the bowl was still clearly visible, his eyes were open, an inexplicable smile appeared on his face, and I also smelled a faint sweet smell.
The second master suddenly reacted, pulled me and said, "Hurry up."
As soon as the two of us turned around, we saw a thin soldier standing at the door, his legs were trembling, he opened his mouth in horror, pointed at us and pointed at the dead body in mid-air, shouted "Mom" and turned around and went out, the second master shouted: "It's broken"! The two of us hurriedly chased after us, but after all, there was a distance, and when we saw the door, there was a "bang", and the door closed heavily, and we didn't brake the car, and slapped directly on the door.
