Chapter 60: The Bronze Mirror
Li Damin looked at me: "You don't want to do it?" ”
Under his sharp gaze, my forehead was soaked with sweat, and my expression was hesitant: "No, Damin...... Alas, what do you want me to say this? Let's stop tossing, okay? ”
Li Damin took the shovel back from my hand without saying a word, and then rowed the wheelchair until he walked to the pit, holding the handle of the wheelchair with both hands, trembling and remembering. I hurriedly went over to help him, and he shook his hand: "Lao Liu, if you don't want to do it, I won't force it." You go, I'll do it myself. ”
As he spoke, he was about to stand up, his whole body was paralyzed, only his hands could move, and he lost his balance as soon as he got up, and the whole person fell from the wheelchair, lying on the ground, motionless for a long time. I sighed and went over to help him: "Damin, why are you doing this? ”
Li Damin said: "Let's go, although I am a waste, but I still have both hands to move, I don't believe that I can't dig a tunnel!" Even if I can't move my hands at the last moment, if I can still move a finger, I will continue to pick it with my finger until I reach my destination! ”
I picked him up. He was heavy again, and it took a lot of effort to carry him to the wheelchair. I patted him: "Damin, don't say anything, can I do it?" I'll sell you this life. ”
Li Damin smiled: "Don't say it's so miserable, you are my brother, can I harm you?" ”
"Damin, I remember the last time I saw you, you couldn't move anything in your body, how can you do it now?" I asked.
Li Damin said: "It's so good, you have to believe in medicine." He laughed, but in my eyes, I felt that he was smiling a little sly.
We were standing on the edge of the pit, and I looked down with a flashlight, and the pit was just over two meters, not deep. You can see that the bottom of the pit is full of water, and there is a lot of silt around it, and it is estimated that it is quite difficult to go down and come up again.
Since you have chosen to do it, you must have an attitude of doing it. I pondered for a while and decided to go down and have a look. I took off my coat, rolled up my sleeves, and took off my shoes and socks. More than 100 yuan crocodile shoes climb up and down, don't mess with me.
Walking along the edge of the pit, I saw that there was a place where the terrain was gentle, and there were many potholes, and I should be able to borrow strength to climb down. Walked over and leaned down, broke it with his hand and tried it, it felt okay, and then went down the pit.
Feet fumbled through the small hole in the pit wall, hands on the bulge, took a deep breath, and began to slowly climb down. In fact, it's a lot easier to climb than I thought. It didn't take long for me to reach the bottom of the pit and step into the water.
The water in the pit is estimated to have come up from an underground river, and it was so cold that I had goosebumps all over my body. Li Damin tied the flashlight and shovel with a rope on it. I took a flashlight and shone it around, the bottom of the pit was covered with yellow mud on all sides, and I couldn't see a clue at all, how to dig this?
Li Damin pointed me in a direction above, which was aimed at the garden community. It was very inconvenient for me to hold a shovel in one hand and a flashlight in the other, and I thought that if I really wanted to start working, I would have to prepare a headlamp.
I put the flashlight in my mouth, picked up the shovel, and started digging in that direction. After digging two shovels, I felt that the soil was very loose, not very difficult to dig, and a shovel could clearly see a pit.
I just wanted to try, but I didn't dig very deep, but I dug a few times, and as a result, a hole appeared in the pit wall, and the more I dug it, the bigger it became. After digging, the shovel touched it slightly, and it "boomed" into the soil. I don't know why, I smell an indescribable stench, it can't be smoked, it's a little spicy. The light at the bottom of the pit was very poor, the only light source was a flashlight in my mouth, only to see the light and shadow swaying, dirt chips flying, I felt like a miner, digging a mine hole dozens of meters underground.
Suddenly, there was a crisp "ding", and I didn't know what the shovel had touched, and I didn't hold it at once, and my hands were numb from the shock.
Li Damin noticed something was wrong above, paddled his wheelchair back and forth, shouted my name, and asked what was wrong?
I wiped my face, tossed the shovel aside, and turned on my flashlight to look at it. All you see is the yellow pit wall, and there is nothing. No, very wrong. I simply stretched out my hand to peel off all the yellow mud, and as I picked it up, I saw a black metal-like plane exposed under the mud.
I swallowed, leaned over to take a closer look, looked at it for a while, and continued to use my hands to clean the dirt and floating dirt on it. Li Damin couldn't see the situation above, and he was anxious to turn around, desperately calling my name.
I was concentrating on this thing, and as soon as Li Damin called my name, I suddenly shuddered, startled, and couldn't say why, I panicked, and felt a little unspeakably weird. I replied vaguely, "I see something, I'm looking at it, don't bother." ”
When it was all cleaned, I suddenly saw something on the wall of the pit, round, and when I looked closely, I was so frightened that my mother was a human head. Embedded in the walls of the pit, looking straight at me. I was so frightened that I sat in the cold water, I didn't slow down for a long time, Li Damin had already rowed the wheelchair to the edge of the pit, he barely stretched his body to look down, I looked up and saw his miserable white face, and my heart couldn't help beating wildly. He anxiously asked what was wrong, and I gritted my teeth and stood up and waved my hand. I fumbled to pick up the flashlight in the muddy pond, it was still usable, and I continued to shine it.
This time, I realized that the black metal plane that appeared in the pit wall was a mirror, but now only a small area was exposed, and what was reflected just now was my face. I wiped my cold sweat, who did this, he really lacked great virtue, and he killed his father. However, there is still something strange in my heart, because the moment I saw me in the mirror just now, I felt that the people in it were very strange, especially the eyes, which were poisonous and cold, revealing despair.
I secretly told myself that this was a mental suggestion, don't think about it. If you look closely, this large metal plane is engraved with some patterns and some twisted words, which seem to be scriptures. This flat reflective is particularly good, a bit like an ancient bronze mirror, looking at it for a while, I feel panicked, there is always shaking my shadow inside, and my heart is twisted.
Looking at the watch, there was a lot of delay, and Li Damin was so anxious that he wanted to climb up. Just as I turned my head to leave, I suddenly saw that the scene in the metal plane seemed to change, and my image disappeared. I hesitated, but I couldn't resist my curiosity, so I leaned over to take a look, it didn't matter, but I was stunned.
The scene inside seems to be a hotel room, a large bed, covered with white sheets, the bed is twisted with a dim lamp, and a person sits on the bed, seemingly restless. I leaned closer to take a closer look, and when I saw this person, my heart beat faster and my bones were terrified.
I saw myself. The one who was restless was me.
At this moment, the scene changed again, and out of nowhere came a person. I couldn't be sure if it was a person or not, wearing a white bathrobe, and the outside of the bathrobe was not a limb at all, but a gray shadow. What's even more terrifying is that behind this person, there are two small black shadows, slightly human-shaped, I don't know what they are.
The man was walking towards me as I sat on the bed. My teeth chattered, and my whole body was cold, could this be a ghost? How do I hang out with ghosts?
He walked up to me, and suddenly turned around, and the face was facing me outside the mirror, and I screamed in fright, my brain felt like it had been struck by lightning, and the pores of my whole body opened and closed. That man doesn't have a face at all! Underneath the black hair was a black swirl in the shape of a face, spinning.
I didn't dare to look any further, so I was so frightened that I climbed up from the bottom of the pit.
Li Damin rowed over in a wheelchair, grabbed me, and said sharply, "What's wrong?" What do you see? ”
My hands were cold, I kept swallowing, and cold sweat was running down my cheeks. It took me a long time before I told him what I had just seen. Li Damin's eyes widened when he heard this, and it seemed that the thing was completely unexpected.
I whispered, "So, what's that?" ”
Li Damin said for a long time: "This may be a prophecy." ”
"Prophecy?" I blinked.
Li Damin thought about it and said, "Don't touch the things below, I'll wait to check it." His eyes changed from initial horror to excitement, and he kept paddling back and forth in his wheelchair, saying "interesting" again and again.
I was covered in mud, my clothes were dirty, and when I saw the scene just now, I felt so uncomfortable.
Li Damin said: "Lao Liu, you go to take a shower and change your clothes first, and come over tomorrow night." ”
I sighed: "Damin, are we still digging?" ”
Li Damin smiled: "Whether to dig or not is a matter for the future, tomorrow I will exorcise the landlord's eldest brother's daughter, she has a ghost fetus." You have to be there to help me. ”
I don't have the strength to say anything now, why am I so unlucky, you guys eat and drink and find a girl to make a girl never think about me, and you have a ghost to do a trick, and then you think of me. How did I get raised by my stepmother? The pit people are not so pitiful.
Looking at Li Damin in a wheelchair, I sighed, okay, but I'll come alone. When you are tossed to death, it will be quiet.
I put on my clothes and walked out of the room in embarrassment, Li Damin sat alone in a wheelchair, looking down at the pit, not knowing what to think.
Walking down the road, thinking about what had just happened, I felt sick. Good decent, how could I be in a hotel room with a ghost. Is that me? I doubt it. It dawned on me that when I looked in the mirror several times, I felt as if I was a different person. Isn't it the other "me" who opened a room with a ghost? Thinking of this, it's a lot easier, as long as it's not me, who you love. But I was happy for a while, and I felt that I was really Ah Q.
When I got home, I took a shower and changed my clothes, and I searched on the Internet, and the key words were mirrors and prophecies. The most searched is Snow White's treacherous mirror. The fairy tales that are usually familiar to me, how do I feel a kind of eerie horror when I re-read them.
All I had in my mind was the ghost's black swirl face, and it never got over me. I comfort myself, I'm not a copper lock and I'm not lustful, I must pay attention to this time, I must not date anyone to open a room, and wait to avoid the limelight.
I finally survived until the next day, and in the evening, Li Damin called me and asked me to hurry over and prepare to exorcise ghosts.
