Chapter 10 The Elevator of Time and Space
The paper lantern on the ground was burned beyond use, and He Wei turned around to realize that his feet were burned. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The fire grew bigger and bigger, and a small piece of paper that had burned in the fire was blown up by the wind and blew on the grave grass, which soon burned because the grass was too dry.
As the fire spread to the surrounding area, the entire grave was burned red. Soon after, a woman's screams came from the grave: "Ah, my face, my face is so hot, who will save me!" ”
He Wei's heart shrank sharply, ran forward and grabbed the bunch of grapes in front of the tombstone with one hand and put it in his pocket, turned around and fled, and went straight to the seventh and last attic in the tower, and drilled into it along the extremely narrow ladder.
The higher he climbed, the more desolate his chest became, and the raging flames behind him made his back hot again, and the cool air from his mouth solidified into an ice line.
I finally climbed to the top of the ladder, but I felt that the crossing was too narrow, like a mouse hole, and even a child couldn't get out, let alone himself.
He Wei tried to push the stone walls on both sides of the crossing with his palm, and with a lot of force, he pushed several times but there was no response. Until another cold breathing sound came from behind him, and the breath forced to the root of his back ear, and the whole person froze at once.
I had to look back slowly behind me, and suddenly I faintly saw a white face covered by a messy hair cover, and after screaming "ah", I hurriedly turned around and tried all the strength of my life, and inserted my fingers into the gap in the stone slab, and pushed it down, and the entire boxy stone plate fell from the gap and fell to the ground.
He Wei immediately got up and jumped to the top floor of the wooden ladder, regardless of whether it was a human or a ghost behind him, and quickly rushed along the passage into the attic on the seventh floor.
When he came to the seventh floor, he only saw a bright spot in front of him, filled with white light everywhere, wrapping his whole body, hands and feet, as if he had entered heaven, as if this second was the most sober moment in his life.
This light made him unable to open his eyes, and he felt that he could not resist the illumination with his five fingers, and his vision was blurred, and he could not see everything in front of him clearly.
But this dazzling light did not last long, He Wei inexplicably felt a burning feeling between his heart, forced from the body to the outside of the body, his hands and feet felt slightly sore, and he couldn't use his strength, so he had to slowly roll up his body against the wall and slide down, sleeping on the ground. Eyes looking straight above his cheeks.
Soon after, the white light gradually dissipated, and He Wei also felt that he was soft underneath, as if he had slept on a bed, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw a white stone stucco ceiling, and a magnificent chandelier on it.
After He Wei bent down and got up, he looked underneath him, only to find that he had been sleeping in a bed, with whitewashed walls on all sides, which seemed to be a room. And the room seems to be familiar, isn't this the room of spring?
Soon, a person suddenly rushed in outside the door, a middle-aged woman in her forties and fifties, with slightly pale hair. When He Wei saw it, he couldn't help but shout: "Mom! ”
The woman was Shen Lanzi, with a white apron around her waist, stained with blood marks, dirty and wrinkled, pale and wrinkled, as soon as she walked in, she looked left and right, tidied up the room, turned around and walked out, as if she didn't see He Wei lying on the bed in the room at all.
He Wei couldn't understand it, and felt a little strange in his heart, so he immediately turned around and climbed out of bed, rushed out of the room, and ran into the living room.
And there happened to be a girl sitting on the sofa, leaning over and holding the remote control, looking at Erlang's legs watching TV.
He Wei turned his head and found that there was a spiritual position on the top of the TV, and there was a posthumous photo on the spiritual table, which was his photo, but the photo looked very old, and the faces on his face were a little faded, like old photos that had been placed for several years.
He Wei walked to the photo and reached out to touch the photo, but he didn't expect that he couldn't touch it, and his hand was fluttering.
He Wei glanced back at the girl sitting on the sofa, even though her whole body was blocked in front of the TV, she still stared intently at the movie playing in the TV frame, as if she couldn't see He Wei.
After He Wei realized it, he immediately ran to the kitchen to take a look, and found that Shen Lanzi was holding a kitchen knife in the kitchen to cut vegetables on the cutting board, this knife chopped down, the cutting board was full of blood, and the three fingers on the palm of her hand had been cut out one after another, and the blood seeped out from it, but she herself felt indifferent, and her face was dead.
He Wei walked into the kitchen, felt that the light was a little dim, and when he looked up, he was stupid. I saw several dead pigs hanging from the ceiling, all of them skinned, and their bright red flesh was still bleeding.
In a panic, she turned around and ran out of the kitchen to the living room, where the girl was still leaning on the sofa watching a movie, laughing from time to time. He Wei ran to the door and reached out to try to pull the deadbolt open, but this time he was sucked out, and his body passed out of the door and into the hallway.
In front of the corridor, there happened to be an old woman burning paper, and in front of her was a bowl of red-hot brazier, throwing the coins next to her, and muttering: "Gold...... My gold, shining gold. ”
He Wei walked all the way to the old woman's side, stopped, and looked at her back. Unexpectedly, the old woman turned around directly, with a bitter smile on her face, and said, "Hehe, young man, do you want to eat steamed buns?" ”
He Wei was taken aback, and immediately retreated to the corner, leaned on the wall with one hand, and replied tremblingly: "What...... What the? Can you see me? ”
The old woman twisted her neck sideways and raised a rough hand, beckoned to the entrance of the ladder in the corridor, and said, "Come on, little brother, there are steamed buns here." ”
He Wei, who was leaning against the wall, immediately looked back, only to find that in the middle of the ladder was a little boy of three or five years old, wearing a little red riding hood and holding a leather ball, walking towards the old lady.
The old woman took out a cold steamed bun from her pocket, handed it to the little boy with both hands, revealed a strange smile sinisterly, and said, "Come, eat steamed buns, are you hungry?" ”
The little boy nodded, threw down the ball in his hand, and the ball jumped three times on the ground before rolling into the corner. After taking the steamed bun, he stuffed it into his mouth and took a bite, chewed it in three or two times until he swallowed it, and thanked him: "Thank you!" ”
The little boy nibbled halfway through the steamed bun, put it in his pocket, turned around and walked upstairs.
He Wei was almost stunned on the side, and subconsciously looked back at the old woman's haggard face, and then, a miserable scream came from the ear.
He Wei looked back and found that the little boy had fallen to the ground, and the doll began to cry loudly, so loud that almost the whole building could hear it. He Wei immediately ran forward to take a look, only to find that the little boy's bloody lips had a mouse's tail in his mouth, and half of the steamed buns in his pocket rolled out.
The old woman laughed three times in a row, picked up the brazier on the ground, turned and walked back upstairs.
He Wei was about to step forward and help the little boy up, but he didn't expect the boy to laugh after crying a few times, and he got up on the ground and followed the old woman, and kept shouting: "Grandma, grandma, wait for me!" ”
He Wei wanted to follow up to find out, but he thought that he still had a very important matter on him, so he had to turn around and go back to the room.
After turning around and walking a few steps, the voice of the little boy from before came from behind him again: "Big brother, big brother, come and help me." ”
He Wei turned around and saw that the little boy's head was sticking out of the elevator door, and the ball was placed in the middle of the two sides of the door frame, and after a while, he retracted his head into the elevator.
"Hey, come back quickly, the elevator can't play like this, it's dangerous." He Wei immediately ran up and rushed to the elevator in three or five steps.
When I came to the door, I walked in, and when I looked, the elevator was empty, and the little boy disappeared in an instant, leaving only the round ball bouncing in the elevator box.
He Wei stared, and immediately exited the elevator, but the door behind him closed directly, no matter how he pressed the switch, there was no response, and at this time, the floor displayed on the elevator frame was minus two floors, just like in the basement.
He Wei kicked the door frame of the elevator with his foot, but there was no reaction.
At this time, the elevator suddenly rose, and the whole body could feel like riding a roller coaster, and the small red letters on the floor display frame on the side of the elevator flashed quickly, from the first floor to the hundred floors in just five seconds.
After reaching the 100th floor, the elevator door opened automatically, and when the door opened, there was no corridor in front of you, and there was no light, it was pitch black, and there was nothing.
He Wei took out a red candle from his pocket, took out the lighter, lit it and walked out of the elevator, and after illuminating the surroundings with the faint candlelight, he found that it was a cave, with stone walls on both sides.
And he himself seemed to have been to this cave before, and he clearly saw the corpses of several cockroaches on the ground, and when he looked up ahead, he could faintly see a woman of seventeen or eighteen sitting on the ground, crying and howling wolf.
He Wei immediately recognized that it was a bell and walked up quickly. The bell also seemed to notice him in the darkness, and immediately beckoned to him, "Where are you dead, I haven't found an ice cube for so long." ”
He Wei ran to the bell with a candle in his hand, looked down at her face in surprise, and said, "Ah, bell, why are you here, this is really incredible." ”
The bell twisted his nose and said angrily: "What's incredible, have you found the ice cube?" ”
He Wei was so shocked that his tone stammered a little, he looked back behind him, pointed to the back of the cave, and said tremblingly, "No...... Don't talk about this yet, you know what, I just got in the elevator...... And then ......"
Bell was so angry that he picked up a stone and threw it at his chest, kicked him impatiently, and said angrily: "What kind of elevator are you taking, I asked you if you found the ice cube?" Do you know how long you've been going? My blood is running dry. ”
When He Wei heard this, he hurriedly looked down at her arm, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "What kind of blood is flowing, didn't I just help you bandage your wounds, the blood has long been gone." ”
"Didn't you notice that my face was as white as a dead man, I waited for you here for a day and a night, where the hell have you been?" The bell was so angry that her stomach growled.
He Wei hurriedly stepped forward and squatted down to look at her wound, then lowered his head and rubbed her abdomen, and exclaimed, "Are you hungry?" ”
"Where's the ice?"
"You're hungry, right? I'll help you find something to eat. He Wei deliberately changed the subject.
The bell was furious and kicked him in the chest with one leg. "Ahh He Wei flew out with his back to the ground for more than three feet.
The bell took advantage of the situation to lift a large heavy stone from the side of the stone wall, raised it above his head, and slammed it towards He Wei's face with anger, "I asked you to find ice, why did you come back empty-handed after looking for a day and a night?" ”
He Wei saw the stones flying towards his face, and immediately turned over and dodged, and the stones fell on his back about a centimeter, and he luckily escaped.
He Wei looked flustered and quickly got up from the ground, turned around and ran to a dark corner, his body was hidden behind, revealing a pair of eyes, staring at the bell and saying in fear: "Eldest sister...... I'm going to help you find it now, can you not get excited just yet. ”
"Then you hurry up, go catch a chicken by the way, remember to bring it when the stew is ready." The bell moved her body to the wall and replied.
He Wei answered in a faint voice, then turned around and ran towards the other end of the cave.
"Wait a minute, come back, you just said you saw an elevator?" The bell beckoned to him at his back, and suddenly stopped him.
After He Wei stopped, he turned around with a puzzled look and asked, "What, you know?"
After hesitating for a while, the bell shook his head and smiled slightly: "Oh, it's okay, just ask, you can go." ”
He Wei was depressed for a moment, feeling that she was a little nervous, but he didn't say it out of his mouth, and after giving her a blank look, he turned back and walked to the door of the elevator before.
When he came to the elevator, he didn't press the button on it in time, but walked around outside and observed several times, he really felt a little inexplicable, and in desperation, he had to press the button on the side of the elevator door frame, and the elevator opened at once.
This time, there was a figure standing in the elevator box, a woman, wearing a yellow overalls, holding a broom to clean in the elevator.
He Wei stood at the elevator door and was stunned for a moment, the woman turned around and turned her face at the next moment, smiled very kindly, still in fluent dialect Mandarin, and said: "Young man, come in, it's cold outside, it's warm inside." ”
When He Wei saw this face, he immediately came to his senses, and after walking into the elevator, he asked with a smile: "Oh, aren't you the cleaning aunt in the company before?" Why are you here? ”
The old aunt put the broom in her hand aside, tidied up her pale hair a little, with a spotted fish scale face, sighed and said, "I'm in the company, I just finished cleaning the toilet, and now I'm going to clean the elevator." ”
He Wei walked into the elevator, stretched out his hand and pressed the button of the elevator, turned around and asked, "By the way, auntie, how many floors are you going to, I'll press it for you." ”
The old aunt laughed miserably, and replied in a rough voice: "Eighth floor! ”
He Wei looked back at the button of the elevator, and found that from one to the thirty-second floor, there was no button on the eighth floor at all, and the number of seven was directly nine, and when he looked back at the old aunt again in surprise, he found that it had disappeared in front of him, leaving only a wooden broom in the corner.
He Wei immediately turned around and looked left and right, looking up and down, and he was the only one left in the entire elevator box, "Auntie, where are you?" Can you hear me? ”
At this time, the elevator door automatically closed, and the display frame began to jump, and then jumped from the hundred floor to the negative second floor, and soon stopped, and the elevator door also opened.
He Wei stepped out of the elevator and came to the corridor before, and as soon as he turned around, he saw the little red riding hood boy in front of him jumping into the bathroom, smiling stupidly, not knowing what he was laughing at.
He Wei always felt that there was a problem, and with a strong curiosity, he chased the little boy into the bathroom.
When I came to the bathroom, I found that there was no urine pool on the pool wall, and I looked back at the sign of a villain wearing a skirt posted on the door, and then I realized that it was a women's bathroom.
At this time, there was a sound of a leather ball in one of the toilets, and He Wei immediately looked at the toilet, and was about to go up to open the door, when the sound stopped, followed by a string of laughter.
He Wei was so frightened that he kept trembling his feet and retreated, retreated to the side of the sink, his back touched the sink, and when he turned around, he saw a mirror on the top of the pool, and the mirror was dyed with four big characters with blood, "Thousand Years of Cold Ice".
He Wei turned around, looked at the bottom of the sink, and found that there was indeed a piece of ice inside, exuding a cold chill, and said to himself: "Ah! There's really ice in it. ”
He Wei stretched out his hand and took out the ice cube directly, held it in the palm of his hand, and the ice began to melt slowly, gradually turning into water and flowing in the palm of his hand.
Fearing that the ice would disappear, he immediately ran back to the hallway, ripped off a piece of cloth from the curtain, wrapped the whole piece of ice, and carried it in his hand.
After getting the ice, I was about to go back to the elevator, and at this moment, there was another crying sound from upstairs, like the cry of an old woman, very bleak.
At this time, He Wei remembered what the bell had told him before, to catch a chicken, but even if the chicken couldn't catch it, he had to find some to eat. He Wei wanted to go back to his previous home, but when he thought of such a scene, he stopped going in that direction.
I had to follow the crying from upstairs and climb the stairs to the upper floor. At a glance, the corridor on this floor has a lot of door frames, all with house numbers written on them.
But the cry came from a corner, and He Wei went all the way to the end of the corridor, and there was a door that was completely different from the one he had seen before, all of which were iron doors, and only this one was a wooden door, very rotten, very tattered, like a door that could be kicked with a light kick of the foot.
He Wei walked to the door, knocked on the door, and asked, "Hello?" Is there anyone in there? ”
Not only was there no sound reply, but the crying was getting louder and louder. He Wei accentuated his voice and asked again, "Is there anyone?" ”
He Wei waited for a while, and after no one responded, he was about to push open the wooden door, but the door was suddenly blown by the wind, and he slowly opened it with a "creak".
It was dark, there was no light, and the crying stopped, and a foul smell came to my nose.
He Wei stretched out his neck and glanced inside, and asked for the third time, "Is anyone inside?" ”
The room was quiet, there was no movement anywhere, He Wei reached out and touched the light switch on the side of the door, and turned on the light inside.
After the lights came on, it was still flickering, flickering and dimming, it seemed that the current was a little unstable, and some messy furniture could be vaguely seen scattered on the ground, as if no one had cleaned the room for a long time.
As soon as He Wei took a step inside, he seemed to step on something slippery and fell hard to the ground. After getting up, I looked back and saw a rotten banana peel lying on the ground in the corner.
He Wei patted his pants, immediately stood up, and continued to walk a few steps inside, although there was a lot of furniture in this living room, it was too scattered, and the floor was also dirty, as if it hadn't been dragged for months.
When I came to the living room, I swept my eyes around, and found that there was a glass door on the side, the door was transparent, and a table was placed inside, and there was a stove refrigerator next to it, which looked like a kitchen.
There were a few plates of leftovers on the table, and a few flies were flying around on them, as if the dish had completely stinked.
He Wei walked slowly in that direction, and came to the table, there were two plates of green vegetables on it, steamed buns in the middle, and two bowls on each side, and in each bowl there was a steamed bun that had been eaten halfway, which was already a little blackened, and it was about to turn stone.
He Wei covered his neck until he reached the refrigerator, stretched out his hand to open it, and found that the refrigerator was also full of steamed buns, and the refrigerator below was also full of steamed buns, but these steamed buns were still fresh.
After He Wei took it out, he immediately stuffed a few in his pocket, closed the refrigerator casually, turned around and walked out of the glass door.
Suddenly, a bloody hand stretched out from under the table and grabbed his ankle, He Wei looked down, let out an exclamation, and hurriedly stepped on the back of the hand with his other foot.
"It hurts! It hurts...... My hands hurt so much!! ”
The old woman's voice cried and screamed from under the table, making He Wei scramble for a moment, and kept stepping on her wrist with her foot, but her hand seemed to be covered with greasy glue, firmly sticking the entire palm of her hand to his heel.
"Steamed buns! The steamed buns are so hard, they choked my throat, and they haven't come out yet! ”
He Wei was so frightened that he didn't dare to look under the table, so he immediately crawled and leaned on the stove, took out a kitchen knife hanging on it from the wall, held it tightly in his hand, and slashed it at the old woman's wrist.
Soon, the hand was cut in two, but the severed palm was still clutched at his ankle, and he couldn't get rid of it anyway.
But He Wei didn't care so much, he stood up from the ground directly, rushed out of the glass door, and came to the living room, and was about to escape from the living room The door, only to see a round ball appear at the door, which was bouncing on the ground in the center of the door frame.
