Chapter 10 Brick Kiln Factory

I drove along the dirt road, and after a while, I returned to the road leading to the brick kiln factory, all the way to the north, and I saw the towering chimney of the brick kiln factory in the distance, like a giant cyan pen, as the chimney got closer and closer, and finally came to the brick kiln factory.

The brick kiln factory is quite large, located on the east side of the road, isolated in the wilderness, and the nearest town is several miles away. The brick kiln factory is separated from the road by a small river ditch, which is connected by a small stone bridge, which faces the gate of the brick kiln factory.

It was still early in the morning, however, the gate was tightly closed, and after crossing the stone bridge, I parked the car at the door, and listened attentively, but I could not hear a sound at all. The whole brick kiln factory is like an empty dead city... I wondered in my heart, could it be that something happened in this brick kiln factory? So it's not working? …

Getting out of the car and looking around, I couldn't help but think about last year... Last year, I waited for Boss Wang and the five workers to come back from the dilapidated house, so I came to the brick kiln factory. It was in this place, from the crowd of onlookers, that I learned the news that Boss Wang and the five workers had died... At that time, I was scared enough, I never imagined that the boss Wang who had dealt with me the day before was actually a dead person...

"It's not a holiday, and it's still so early, so why is there no one here?" said Morningstar.

"Huh?" I came back to my senses and said, "I think it's weird too..."

"Ah Leng." Morningstar asked, "Shall we come back tomorrow?" ”

I turned my head, looked down the road, smiled, and said, "If you come, you will be safe, go, go in and have a look." ”

"How do you get in?" Morningstar looked at the closed door and asked suspiciously.

I smiled mysteriously and pointed to the wall, Morningstar frowned, "Over the wall? Not really..."

"There's nothing wrong with that, are you afraid that people will mistake us for stealing? What can be stolen in a brick kiln factory except bricks? Besides," I laughed, "has anyone ever seen a pretty girl like you be a thief?" ”

Morningstar nudged me and snorted, "You guy... Okay, do whatever you say. ”

I pulled over the wall, climbed onto the roof, jumped, climbed the fence, climbed over it, and reached out to pull the Morning Star up.

"It's so high, I don't dare to jump." Morningstar looked down and said with a smile.

"I'll take you." After saying that, I jumped down first and opened my arms towards the morning star, "Come on." ”

Morningstar pursed his lips, pulled the clip out of his pocket, grabbed his head and clamped it, spread his arms, and pounced on me like a butterfly. I stepped up to meet her, held her in my arms, felt the soles of my feet slip, and simply leaned back and lay down on the ground.

"Oops! …”

"Ah Leng, are you alright?!"

Morningstar asked in a panic, and then was about to get up, but I hugged him. I put my face on it, rubbing her cheek lightly, and leaning into her ear, whispering, even the posture of jumping off the wall is so charming, you are such a charming little goblin...

Morningstar thumped me in the chest, "You innocent..."

When I got up from the ground, I saw a hut in the wall against the door, and I looked into the house through the window, and there was a stove in the corner of the wall, and I couldn't see the fire, so it should have been extinguished long ago. Next to the stove was a small square table with a white tea jar with porcelain dropping. Not far from the table was a bed, with dirty bedding rolled up at the end of the bed... It seems that this house is occupied by the gatekeeper of the brick kiln factory, but I don't know where the people have gone at this moment.

In the distance, there are several houses against the wall, and they are connected together, which are much more magnificent than the one at the door, and should be used for office...

Seeing me looking back and forth, Morning Star asked, "Ah Leng, what are you looking at?" ”

"I was thinking..."

"Huh? What do you think? ”

I said seriously, "I was thinking if it was me... Come in from the outside, where will you pee..."

Morningstar's face turned red and he smacked.

I smiled, "To be serious, you have to know where Boss Huang peed in order to know where he got that thing..."

Morningstar pouted at me and said with a smile, "Then think slowly, if you want to repeat the scene, let me know..."

"It's all old husbands and wives, are you still afraid to see it?" I smirked and squinted at Morning Star.

Morningstar screwed me a little.

We searched around the door, but found nothing out of the ordinary, so we walked deeper into the factory yard. The factory yard is very large, with one trolley in the east and one in the west, scattered all over the yard. Bypassing the two tall mounds of dirt, there is a long shed, under which a brick machine full of oil stains is walking away side by side. Going around the shed, there are stacks of brick embryos, as well as fired green bricks. After the brick pile, it is the brick kiln.

The brick kilns of this brick kiln factory are still old-fashioned, half of them are underground, like tunnels, with two rows, and the chimney stands in the middle of the two rows of brick kilns, which is dozens of stories high. Drilling into the round-arched doorway, along the stairs, we descend to the inside of the brick-fired kiln.

The caves were connected, and the doors of each were closed. It's very dark here, the air is dirty, and it's filled with an inexplicable smell, which is very uncomfortable to inhale in the nose, and the whole person has a sullen sense of depression. Out of nowhere, there was a faint sound of 'ticking and ticking' of water, and in addition to the sound of our footsteps, with an echo, that 'bang' echo seemed to be pressing towards us from all directions, as if many people were walking around in the kiln...

Morningstar was a little nervous, leaning against me and grabbing my arm. In this way, we looked through the caves, and when we came to the most marginal room, I stopped. The other caves, due to the perennial smoke and fire, the top of the top is black, however, this cave looks quite new. It collapsed last year, and the bottom of Boss Wang and the five workers who buried them to death should be this cave, I thought to myself...

Thinking like this, I looked at the top of the cave, and suddenly I had a shaky feeling, driven by uneasiness, I hurriedly pulled the morning star out of the cave...

In this way, Morningstar and I walked back and forth inside and outside the brick kiln factory, but nothing appeared. In the evening, there were a few fiery red clouds floating in the distance, and the golden sunlight shone through the clouds on the cold metal of the brick machine. The cold evening breeze burrowed into the cracks of the brick pile, and there was a 'whine' sound.

I stretched out my hand to help Morning Star straighten his head that was blown by the wind, and thought to myself, where did Boss Huang get it, what about the unclean 'thing'? …

"Ah Leng."

"Huh?"

"Maybe," Morningstar said, "maybe Boss Huang wasn't the unclean thing he got in this brick kiln factory." ”

I shook my head, noncommittal, and said in my heart, if it is really as Morning Star said, it will be difficult to do, if it is not here, who knows where Boss Huang got that ghost thing? … Thinking like this, I frowned and looked around aimlessly, my eyes fell on the chimney, and suddenly my heart moved.

"Come..."

"Where?" Morningstar asked

I pulled the morning star to the bottom of the chimney, and I saw that the bottom of the chimney was seven or eight meters in diameter, and the higher it went, the thinner it became. On one side of the chimney, there are semicircular rings made of steel for climbing, stacked on top of each other, like a ladder to the sky...

"You're going toβ€”" Morningstar seemed to know what I was going to do.

"That's right." I smiled and nodded, "Wait for me below, I'll climb up and take a look." ”

Morning Star glanced up and said nervously, "It's so high, Ah Leng, I don't even have some protection, so don't go on..."

"Don't worry, it's going to be fine, don't run around, just wait for me here, okay?"

Morningstar nodded, and I leaned down, kissed her lightly on the face, took off my coat, and put it in her hands. Take a deep breath, reach out and grab the rebar ring on the chimney that is level with my chest, and step on the first level of rebar ring below... The cold touch of the steel made my heart snap away, and a pain came up from the soles of my feet. I stepped down with my feet, and I felt that the steel ring was very firm, not moving at all, not slipping, I couldn't help but be nervous, let go of my breath, and climb up one by one...

After a while, the wind sounded in my ears, and I got goosebumps one after another. When I climbed to the height of three or four stories, I looked down, and a feeling of the world spinning came to me, I hurriedly closed my eyes, and held the steel ring hard, every pore of my body was tense, and my heart jumped up 'suddenly'. After adjusting for a while, my mind finally calmed down, and I opened my eyes and looked down again. The area of this brick kiln factory is so large that it is impossible to see the whole picture at this height. Looking up, the steel rings were densely overlapped, as if endless, and I couldn't help but retreat...

Morning Star's voice came up from below, intermittently blown by the wind, "Ah Leng... If you can't do it, come down..."

Hearing Morning Star's voice, I was so nervous that I shouted downward, "It's okay, don't worry..."

I gritted my teeth and climbed up again, almost two stories higher, when the wind began to pick up, blowing my shirt like a ball, as if someone was behind me, pulling me backwards with a big and small pull. From time to time, the wind 'woo' drilled into my trousers, and the tendons on my legs and stomach twitched violently... I didn't dare to pause, because as soon as I paused, the soles of my feet that stepped on the steel bars shook one after the other, and if I was not careful, I might slip and fall...

In this way, I climbed higher and higher, and all I heard was the sound of the wind... Finally, I grabbed the last level of rebar rings, and the wind didn't seem to be as strong as before, and a bird flew by my shoulder... Here is still two or three meters away from the chimney mouth, only to see the chimney mouth outside the black, the mouth of the jagged bricks that have been struck by lightning is clearly visible, the thick lightning rod is like a nail poking into the clouds...

The night was slowly falling, and it was about to get dark, and when it got dark, it was impossible to see the scene below. So, I adjusted my mind a little and slowly looked down...

When my gaze fell below, I couldn't help but cry out, and I felt a stream of blood 'buzz' rush up to my head, and all the qiΔ“ underneath were shaking in my eyes, including the chimney pillar I was attached to... Between it and the ground plane, there is a strange backward angle, shaking and tilting, and it feels like it will tip at any moment. Driven by a kind of psychological effect of the center of gravity backwards, I felt my feet slip, and the survival instinct caused me to suddenly put my right arm into the steel ring, and with the 'click' of the elbow joint, I stepped off both feet...

In this way, with only one arm, I hung from the chimney, and as my body was swaying by the wind, the qiΔ“ in my eyes was also dangling...
