2. No. 81 Ghost Building
November 3, 2011.
This is Dongcheng District, Yanjing City, a young man in a leather jacket walked quickly through the crowd, it was getting dark, and he seemed to be in a hurry to go somewhere.
The sun had sunset, the whole city began to be quiet for a short time, and after work, people looked out at the black stage and gilded backdrop from their balconies, and waited for the most gorgeous dance music, and after 6 o'clock, the lights were like dragons, and the crowds were like bees, and the huge steel sky began to slowly move.
A few young people in and out of the society on the street kept staring at the short-skirted beauties in the open space with their bright 24k terra stone dog eyes, but those lovely girls didn't care, and their brisk pace was even more extreme with the shouts of the vendors on the food street and the sound of the major hair salons.
At 5:50, the young man in a leather jacket rushed to the Donghuamen Night Market in Wangfujing, where the streets were already lit up with stalls and clothing, toys, decorations, and snacks. He patted his pants, found a stall with few people, took out the contents of his backpack, he looked at the crowd around him that was gradually increasing, it is difficult to find such a scene in Yanjing now, he thought in his heart, in addition to Pan Jiayuan, it can be said that it is a big stall in Yanjing, but Pan Jiayuan is only open 4 days a week from Thursday to Sunday, today is Wednesday, young people can only rush here.
The young man's name is Xiao Du, because he was born light, so his father with a thick brain directly gave him a Du, which is said to be thick and strong, but he doesn't know that Du is also the meaning of aggravation of the disease, no, Xiao Du has been a sick seedling since he was a child, and he has been a little better in high school and college, but the good times are not long, this little guy thought of Beipiao when his first job was not smooth, and he came to Beipiao on the first day because he did not adapt to the environment, and coughed for a long time again.
But not only that, this guy is also a superb North Drifter, this goods were stolen wallet, and finally got through the difficulties with the help of classmates to find a job in the computer city, and then when he went on a business trip to help people change computer accessories, he was stolen again, no, he was scolded and lost his job, and he was planted twice in the hands of thieves in two months to be considered a talent, but this is not the end, he thought! Why the hell can someone else steal my stuff, but I can't head someone else's stuff?
But fortunately, this guy won't think about any big criminal methods, but the legal IQ is a big flaw, and once he passed by Panjiayuan, he saw that other people's business of reselling old things was very popular, and he immediately thought of this way, but he also knew that eighty percent of those old things were actually poured out of the graveyard by some big names who were upside down.
No, this guy is eyeing No. 81 Chaonei Street.
The two Western-style small buildings in the courtyard of No. 81 Chaoyangmennei Street, Dongcheng District, Yanjing City were built in the late nineteenth century to the early twentieth century, and it is said that the emperor built a church for the British, but because the construction period was slower than that of Wangfujing, and later the war broke out, so the construction here was stopped, and I heard that there was a 5-kilometer-long underground passage under the small building of No. 81 courtyard in the south, which could lead to Tuanjie Lake, and was later filled in a section when building the ring line subway. After that, a Kuomintang officer lived in it, and then the Kuomintang fled to Taiwan in a hurry, leaving behind his family, and his aunt and wife hanged herself in one of the rooms inside. No one cared about it after the 60s. Become one of the famous haunted houses in Yanjing.
Don't look at this as a ghost building in the trend of modern steel structure, you think it's just scary, you must know that CCTV has a channel that did a program about Chaonei 81. It is said that a few years ago, the political axe planned to demolish the house, but in the process of demolition, some migrant workers disappeared for no reason, and then they did not dare to start construction again. The same story is many, much better, so under this modern science, this ghost building has become an existence that can break the scientific concept at any time.
People say that the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village. Xiao Du's understanding at that time was that if your village was poor and only the bare mountains and stinky water were left, then you would have to steal things from a village under the dark moon. This is the experience of the ancients, so we will survive from generation to generation, one night, Xiao Du climbed into the ghost building with courage.
However, he came to this place again today, and he was very happy that the lamp he had obtained last time had been bought by him for a good price.
At 3 o'clock in the morning, the air around seemed to be solidified, there was no sound in silence, everything seemed to be the best foil for horror movies, Xiao Du walked through the green belt, walked to a huge iron door, the light of the flashlight reflected the 5 big characters written in red paint on it, "81 inward", like fresh blood in the light of the flashlight, the vermilion paint seemed to have been smeared a few seconds ago, and the paint at the end of the rare strokes began to slide downward. Xiao Du climbed into the yard this time.
The small building is surrounded by dilapidated props and construction debris scattered randomly. Two tall scaffolding, which looked very clean on the outside, stood there. These are some props used by the crew for filming, I ignore those, the light of my flashlight when I approach the building alone is not strong but it is by no means gloomy, the old Western furniture in the house, the decoration is orderly, and there is even an antique refrigerator at the door, as if the owner has just met guests in the living room, and I feel that I will come over at any time to say hello to strangers who break in.
As soon as I entered the building, the air was silent for a moment, and I could hear the whirring wind blowing the remnants of leaves through the windows of the dilapidated house. Climbing up the stairs one by one, it seems that the more you go up, the more the building is getting worse. Walking to the third floor, cracks can be seen in the wooden floor beneath your feet, the largest being almost a knuckle width. Walking this floor back and forth, the fragile floor, no matter how thin a person is, will worry about whether he is too heavy, as if he may step on it at any time.
Xiao Du swallowed his saliva and didn't dare to approach, the last time he found an old-fashioned table lamp here, under the lamp is a blue and white porcelain bottle, what age Xiao Du can't see, but he can learn e-commerce on the stall for half a month to see in the dark that this is a blue and white porcelain is really good, porcelain and lamps are connected with a glass-like funnel utensils, and the top of the utensils is the socket and lampshade where the lamp is placed.
And this time he went further, believing that the farther away he was from the entrance, the more good things there were. The vermilion staircase has an openwork pattern, and you can still vaguely see the delicacy of the past. Looking out through the small window on the top floor, the modern residential buildings opposite are eye-catching and dazzling, giving people a sense of satisfaction of voyeurism.
After leaving the building, as soon as the small door turned around, Xiao Dumeng saw a woman in red standing there, standing there with her eyes glazed over, completely a dead person.
"Ahh "Don't come, don't come."
"Don't eat me, don't eat me." He whispered a cry from his mouth, roaring, hissing. It is like a person's unwillingness and reluctance before death.
Slowly, his voice was squeezed into his throat by fear, and he could not breathe a word again.
Gradually, he struggled to get tired, he buried his head between his legs, and waited for death in fear and weakness.
But after a period of time, he actually found that he was still fine, time passed minute by minute, the ghost building was quiet as if someone could hear someone's footsteps, Xiao Du boldly raised his head, picked up the flashlight not far away, stood up tremblingly, and pointed the flashlight at the door, but what he saw was not a female ghost, but a portrait of a woman, his woman was wearing a dancer's costume on her upper body, and she was holding a fan in her left hand to cover her face, only revealing a pair of eyes looking at Xiao Du faintly, Xiao Du looked a little panicked in his heart, and looked away, I was surprised to find that the female ghost's right hand was pointing to the right.
To tell the truth, a person usually points to the right with his left hand, and the left with his right hand, I don't know if you have tried, if it is a twisted thing to point to the right with the right hand, but the woman in the portrait has done it, Xiao Du looked at the arm bent to an incredible angle, and then naturally looked along the place where she fingered, originally a cabinet should not be placed at the door, and I don't know which stupid hat came in to explore and moved the cabinet in the room to the door, which completely blocked the way to the door, Xiao Du didn't dare to move the cupboard away with a heart, so he could only bite the bullet and walk in the direction where the woman's hand was pointing, you must know that the thief will not go out empty-handed, even if he dies, he will fucking touch a few treasures. Xiao Du warned himself like this, but looking at the dark passage in front of the corridor, his legs suddenly weakened.
Xiao Du sat in front of a staircase at the end of the corridor, below was the basement, he had never been there, there was no window at the end of the corridor, it was dark everywhere, the ground was full of debris, Xiao Du sat on the debris and suddenly wanted to smoke, he couldn't smoke, but when he was in college, he saw his classmates confessing like this, drinking a bottle of wine, taking a puff of cigarette, and picking up the phone.
"Forget it, we're all here. What else can you be afraid of? Xiao Du emboldened himself and walked towards the stairs below. It was a swarthy basement, and a staircase stretched out in the endless darkness, and walking on the staircase of the years on this floor sounded like a 'giggling' laugh like a countdown to heaven.
At the end of the stairs is a corridor, the extension of the corridor is the basement, this corridor is different from the corridor above, because there are no windows, so it is dim, and the only flashlight light can only make you feel more frightened, there are no bricks on the top, the moisture of the ground causes the walls and the top here to fall off in a large area, as you walk, there seems to be a little bit of dust crumbs falling down, and the slight touch falls on Xiao Du's neck is still shuddering. The snow-white bricks on both sides are mottled like a monster's esophagus, and as your vision squirms and creeps a little, the entire basement seems to come alive and begin to welcome this alien human.
"Find a room." Xiao Du said to himself. The more he walked inside, the more he felt that something was wrong, not the kind of fear that gave him a shiver. It's that cold feeling, although there are no vents, but there is still a wind that seems to be blowing gently.
Walking to the front of a door, Xiao Du clapped his hands and wanted to open the door, but no matter how hard he tried, the door was indifferent. Is it sealed? Xiao Du wanted to try it with his foot, but he didn't dare, he really didn't dare, the colder and colder air, as if the harsh winter season had come to this basement in advance, he tightened his jacket and walked quickly to the next house, but the same thing was that this door was also sealed.
"Damn, no. Ga Zazi glass ball. Gradually, Xiao Du was not so afraid, his heart was full of unhappiness, and he even used Yanjing's authentic scolding words, he tried one door after another, but each door was closed, during which he also tried to knock the door open, but he tried several times, all failed, and I don't know what kind of mind the last owner of this house is, even if it is necessary to block the door even if it is not stopped?
Soon, Xiao Du came to the front of the last door, and he thought that if he couldn't open it, he would just touch an old object and leave, but when he put his hand on the latch, the door opened by itself.
The door opened so suddenly, as if the owner inside was welcoming this guest, Xiao Du looked at the dark interior and felt a little uneasy, but at this moment his flashlight suddenly swept to a painting, he had seen this painting, he was very sure he had seen it, when he went to visit Panjiayuan on the first day, he saw a minority person holding this painting in his hand, but it was very strange, he was not selling, but looking for the owner, as for the consequences, Xiao Du did not look at it, But when he saw this painting here again, his heart was cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his back was cold.
"What's going on? Is it a high imitation? Xiao Du said to himself, but he quickly denied the idea, "What is this?" It's just that you draw a person with a mask and need to do a high imitation? Do you think there are so many ** in the world? ”
The painting depicts a man wearing a mask, men and women can't see it because there is only one head on the scroll, like a magnified color photo, Xiao Du looked at it, no, he looked at it again, and his heart was a little bit clear, after all, he had been mixed on the stall for so long, and the world was more or less wide, this mask was an animal's face, the nose was very long like a wooden stick, almost at a glance this thing came into view, and at the same time, the eye frame of the mask was deep and large, and painted with fine lines, There are wrinkles on the forehead, and the face is convex on the outside and concave on the inside. On the whole, the position of the facial features is similar to that of the human face.
Then it is obvious that this is not something that can be in modern times, or even modern times, if the ghost building that Xiao Du entered is a thing that is incompatible with modernity, then the mask on this portrait is something that is incompatible with modern times.
Xiao Du looked at the mural and was distracted for a while, but at this time, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps in the corridor outside the door gradually coming, unhurried, as if he was a creature without emotion, he walked slowly, slowly.
