Chapter Ninety-One: A Great Ditch

"Is it true that time is reversed?" Chen Zhen muttered to himself: "Impossible, time can be compressed or folded, but it can't be retrograde, otherwise you can travel back to the past through the future......

"Your watch is mechanical, isn't it?" Cha Wenbin suddenly asked: "Is it true that the mechanical watch is geared?" ”

"That's right, it's wind-up," Chen Zhen said, "and over the years, this watch has never been broken." ”

"I don't think it's going exactly by the second, it's going backwards with a lot of difficulty," Cha Wenbin said, "Although I don't know about machinery, I've seen the waterwheel in the village, when the water hits the blades of the waterwheel, the blades will flow clockwise, which is the effect of force." Your watch relies on the power of the spring gears to move clockwise, but it is only a tool for keeping time, and it does not represent time, just like the waterwheel that keeps turning in the river, unless there is a force that is opposite, can distort the action of the water, counteract the impact of the water, and is greater than this force, then the waterwheel will go backwards. Your watch is also based on this principle, there must be a very powerful force in this place, changing something, but we can't find it in it, I think this is related to the fact that we use our senses to judge things, people's eyes, ears and nose are to deceive their own brains, but clocks are not, it is mechanical, there is no ability to think, as long as the power to influence it will be reflected immediately. ”

"Use the most primitive method," Chen Zhen said: "I count the seconds with my heart, I can't sleep when I am homesick when I am studying, I often count, and then I can basically synchronize with the clock when I count more, from now on, Brother Wen Bin, you make a mark, I will execute." ”

"Okay," Cha Wenbin nodded, "I'll draw a triangle, right here." ”

Time passed minute by minute, and the eyes of the two people were highly nervous all the time paying attention to the pattern on the ground, for fear that the next second would suddenly change, and the pattern would disappear automatically like magic. Something sounds unbelievable, and when it actually happens, you have to accept it.

When Chen Zhen silently counted the number "300" in his heart, the patterns on the ground disappeared one after another, and the smoothed ground seemed to have never been visited, and no one had ever visited here.

"How long?" Cha Wenbin asked.

"Five minutes," Chen Zhen said with some excitement and some fear: "Do you want to test it again?" ”

"It's too late." Cha Wenbin said: "It is estimated that it will be five minutes, the fat man went in before it is almost this time, from now on, we will go in to find someone, and we must return in five minutes, otherwise it is very likely that something incredible will happen here again." If you can't find it, quit and continue to go inside, you must keep absolute calm and calculate the time, otherwise," Cha Wenbin said in an aggravated tone: "We may be left here forever." ”

It's a race against time, every minute counts, and no one can afford to waste it. After entering, Cha Wenbin saw the same as the fat man's encounter, one left and one right, two forks, in the ancient theory of yin and yang, the left is yang and the right is yin. Cha Wenbin's character adheres to a point, at this moment of life and death decision-making, he usually chooses to the right, that is, yin, he believes in an old saying: put it in the place of death and then live, this is because of the principle of Tai Chi, yin is missing and then the past is yang, as long as you grit your teeth and survive this pass, the front is the broad road!

So the fat man understands him, and he chose to go to the right, so will Cha Wenbin's choice be right at this time?

"Wait!" When Cha Wenbin walked to the entrance on the right, his eyebrows jumped unconsciously, he rarely had this kind of thing, the last time was when he was seven years old. That year, Cha Wenbin was going to buy wine for Ma Sufeng, at that time, there was no supply and marketing cooperatives in Wulipu, and he had to go to the town to buy wine. So he took the ticket and money and walked ten miles to a supply and marketing cooperative in a neighboring village, and he walked this road more than once.

There was a thatched field passing by, and there was no other place to do it except thatch, and it happened here that he met a man from the village, whom he knew and who also went to a neighboring village, so the two of them were companions. The man told Cha Wenbin that there was a small path to the right from the thatched pile, which could go faster to the neighboring village, which could reduce the distance by half, but there were many graves in that place, and asked him if he was afraid?

Cha Wenbin has followed Ma Sufeng since he was a child, and this kind of ghost thing is familiar to him, where does he know how to write the word "afraid". The child was curious by nature, and thought to himself that it would be better to go back sooner, so he followed the man. Along the way, the sun was setting, and the breeze by the river was refreshing, but as the man said, some white flags that could be seen from time to time in the thatched piles were planted to commemorate the dead.

When he arrived at the neighboring village and bought wine, Cha Wenbin wanted to go back alone, and when it came to the two choices, he still thought that he had already fried the trail once just now, and it must be the fastest to go back with the trail. But at this time, his eyebrows jumped, he thought it was amazing, why did his eyebrows still jump?

Cha Wenbin, who didn't realize that there was any problem, walked back with the wine, and the seven-year-old child jumped on the way home with the bottle in his hand. In the early spring, the sun went down at six o'clock, and at half past four from the supply and marketing cooperative, the hillside was still shining orange and orange for the sun, but that time, he got lost, lost in a thatched field, surrounded by one after another graves, until after dark, he still could not get out.

During the day, Cha Wenbin was not very afraid, but at night, the wind by the river was already cold and whirring. The thatch rubbed against each other like ghost hands in the moonlight, and the white flags on the grave were swept across his face, and he didn't know whether it was the song of insects or birds, and the sound of "wooing" made him tremble in his heart.

Ma Sufeng, who woke up, found that his baby apprentice was gone, and it was time to come back after dark, no matter how greedy he was to play, he was still quite strict with Xiao Wenbin's tutoring. When I went out to inquire, I happened to meet the person in the afternoon, who said that Cha Wenbin was going to buy him wine, why hadn't he come back yet? So he patted his head and estimated whether Cha Wenbin was taking the path, this Ma Sufeng's face was black at that time, and he didn't care about training people to find it immediately.

Later, Cha Wenbin was found, on a grave bag, the wine in the bottle had been spilled at some point, and the person was in a coma. His master did not blame him for this, but went out that night in a rare robe, and heard that soon after, there was no grass growing on the field, and when the grave was demolished and returned to the field, it had been converted into a field of crops.

Actually, when Hetu told me later, he said that his master had a big life, and if it weren't for a piece of jade pendant from Master Arima, it was estimated that he would even lose his small life. I asked him why? He laughed and said that people have intuition, especially those who die horizontally, and they usually have some reaction before they die, which comes from the sixth sense, which indicates that danger is coming. He told me that the main reason why Cha Wenbin had problems was that the bottle of wine, wine, meat, incense and candles in his hand were broken and he was very taboo to walk outside at night, and those dirty things were very good, which belonged to the same category as their usual sacrifices. Cha Wenbin probably suffered a flying disaster because of this bottle of wine, and the piece of jade hanging on his chest was shattered, which is said to have been shattered because of his life.

Because he once had a brushing shoulder with death, although a long time has passed, Cha Wenbin still remembers it vividly. Is this eyebrow twitch the same warning? So he changed his mind and said, "Let's go over there." ”

Entering this opening, the top of the head is still full of engraved patterns, and the road is very normal, quiet only his own breathing, heartbeat and footsteps. Not long after, the second fork in the road appeared again, and Cha Wenbin chose to go left this time, his intuition told him that he should do so.

The smooth progress of this trip was beyond Cha Wenbin's expectations, almost as soon as he turned this corner, he saw the light in front of him, just like the fat man described, the grass here is green, and there are birdsong in the air from time to time, which looks like a paradise......

"Brother Wen Bin, we finally came out!" Chen Zhen cried with joy, he could be said to have escaped death on the way, he almost lost his life several times, and after seeing the light of day, I am afraid that the first thing this kid has to do is to resign from this position, and then buy a train ticket and escape back to his hometown.

Cha Wenbin is not, this body is full of stench, and his hair is now beginning to form cakes. I really want to take a hot bath and sleep beautifully, and sleep in the dark......

"Let's go!" He held Lian'er in his arms and continued to walk firmly, and then Lian'er took his hand and said, "Brother Wenbin, what are you going to do!" ”

"Get out!" Cha Wenbin showed a long-lost smile, scratched her little nose with his hand and said, "Don't you want to go out?" ”

"Where are you going?" Lian'er was surprised: "I can't go ahead, it's a big ditch......"
