Chapter 19: The Well

This is a very famous fable in ancient China, a dream of yellow sorghum. In the eyes of many, this is an extremely bleak story. After listening to me, Fan Qiang immediately understood that this was an allusion to Huangliang's dream. With a blank expression on his face, he nodded at me and said, "Thank you." ”

Lin Yong saw that they all ate the notes, he was very anxious, and he didn't eat the buns anymore, so he directly poked his meat buns open with chopsticks, pulled them violently inside, and finally turned out a red ball and took out the words inside. When we all looked at each other, we couldn't speak.

It reads: The flames are gone, and the flesh and blood are turned to ashes.

The fool also saw that this was not a good thing, Lin Yong's face was ugly, he laughed dryly, tore up the note and threw it on the ground. Brother Ning looked at the mute girl who was taking a small bite of the bun and suddenly had an idea: "Look at what is in her bun." ”

Lin Yong seemed a little angry by the note, and he eagerly hoped that others would also appear like him with a more vicious note. He stabbed the dumb girl's bun with his chopsticks, and a red ball rolled out of it. He quickly took out the note, cleared his throat and read, "It's better to go back." ”

"Finished?" Brother Ning asked.

Lin Yong nodded and showed him the note: "There are only four words in it, it's better to go back." Liu Yang, explain. ”

I looked at the mute girl and thought it was very strange how these four words could appear on her. She blinked, looking innocent and ignorant. I said, "This literal meaning is easy to understand, it is better to go back, that is, it is better for her to go back as soon as possible, as for whether there is any other meaning, I don't know." ”

Lu Wen said, "Where are you going?" Do you want to go back to that little mountain village? ”

I shook my head, "I don't know, God." ”

At this time, Lu Wen also took out a red ball from the bun, she opened it and took a look, and we saw that her face changed with a "swish". I can't describe the expression at all, I was terrified, frightened, and sentimental, and I couldn't think of anything on the note that had so much power that could devastate a person like a flood.

The note was in Lu Wen's own hand, and she didn't wait for others to react, she immediately put the note in her mouth, chewed it a few times and swallowed it into her stomach.

Brother Ning became angry: "What are you doing?" What exactly is written on it? ”

"Brother, don't ask." Lu Wen hung her head, trying her best to suppress her emotions, she didn't want Fan Qiang to see her tears.

I hurriedly said, "Forget it, this thing is personal privacy, and it has nothing to do with all of us." ”

Brother Ning said: "I'm not interested in knowing what bullshit is written, I'm just fucking angry." He kicked at Lu Wen: "Go elsewhere, see that you can't hold the fire." ”

Lu Wen stood up, sat down silently at the other table, and sat there, her hands clenched tightly, and tears the size of beans fell silently.

Seeing her so sad, I couldn't figure out what she saw.

Brother Ning looked at me with a smile: "Liu Yang, we have all watched it, do we have to see what yours is." ”

I took a deep breath and gently broke the bun, and sure enough, there was a red ball hidden inside, I looked left and right at them, and then I picked up the red ball, and there was a note hidden inside.

I took out the note and laid it flat on the table, and Brother Ning and Lin Yong immediately came over to look at it. There are four sentences and sixteen words written on the note, and after I read it, I feel similar to Lu Wen, and I want to cry.

The note reads: The flowers are gone, the tears of the beauties are dry, the sea of bitterness can be crossed, and the demons are boundless.

Although I don't understand what this poem is, it is particularly sad in the literal sense, and my heart is like a dark cloud hanging over it, and there is a sense of foreboding.

Everyone didn't have the heart to eat steamed buns, so they discussed it messily for a while, and they couldn't find what to do. Lin Yong was very aggrieved by his note, slapped the table and kicked the stool, scolding in his mouth.

Brother Ning pushed the plate: "This is troublesome, Xiao Yongzi, you go and find the boss, let's inquire about the way home." ”

Fan Qiang, who had been silent, suddenly said: "When I came, I had already inquired with the guys here, you can go with me." ”

Brother Ning's smiling face blossomed: "Okay, big brother, when you go out, my brother will make good arrangements for you." ”

"No, you don't." Fan Qiang stood up, without any extra words, and strode out.

Brother Ning and Lin Yong hurriedly followed out, and I beckoned Lu Wen and pulled the mute girl to follow behind. Fan Qiangling's road was very strange, and instead of going all the way down the road, he walked forward for a mile, and suddenly crossed into a wilderness. We hesitated, but followed.

At this time, everyone is no different from a headless fly, and it is almost the same wherever they go, since someone leads the way, follow it.

It was dark and the ground was uneven, making it difficult to walk. As she was walking, Lu Wen suddenly said in a low voice, "Liu Yang, take a look at me." ”

I turned my head to look at her, under the faint moonlight, Lu Wen was a little shy, she touched her hair and said, "Am I good-looking?" ”

My heart is pounding, damn me, isn't she fancy me? It's no wonder that there are a bunch of scum around, although I am not outstanding, but let this group of scum set off, there is also a bit of purity that is not stained by the mud.

What if Lu Wen confesses to me? I had to tell her that my brother wasn't that kind of person. In fact, the deepest thoughts in my heart, how to put it, still look down on her a little. A girl like Lu Wen is worthy of pity and tears, but to say that she likes it is nonsense.

I took a closer look at her and realized that she had a red hairpin pinned to her head.

Lu Wen smiled sweetly: "When I was in the small supermarket, I took it secretly." Liu Yang, do you see that I don't look beautiful when I wear this drift, will Haoqiang puppet like me? ”

I secretly screamed ashamed, and quickly smiled: "It's good-looking, he will definitely like you." ”

Lu Wen looked at Fan Qiang's back, and smiled sweetly: "My biggest wish is to be a wife to the puppet bar, I will serve him well and not let him suffer a little sin." ”

I laughed dryly twice, remembered something and asked, "Lu Wen, what note did you see in the bun?" ”

Lu Wen's expression was a little sad, and she said after a long time: "I said don't laugh at me." ”

I nodded solemnly.

Lu Wen said, "There are two words written on the note in my bun...... "She lowered her head and said, "'Mom' is written." Just those two words. ”

It dawned on me that it was no wonder that Lu Wen behaved so strangely. Mom, for her, the meaning of these two words is too deep, too broad and too complicated.

I was sighing when I saw a stop in front of me, and we hurried over. Not far away, there is a huge factory ruin.

Before the factory was abandoned, it must have been so large that there was almost no end in sight. There are several huge cement pillars standing in the factory area, like a tower of Babel, inserted into the black sky. Everywhere there are broken walls, dilapidated, the outer walls of the factory have collapsed in many places, overgrown with weeds, and when the wind blows, the withered grass and dead poplars shake with the wind, which is really extremely desolate.

Fan Qiang told us that the guy at the bun shop told him that the road was completely abandoned and that it was a dead road that could not be crossed. If you want to go further, you can only pass through the wilderness, and on the way, there is a large state-owned chemical plant. This factory had an accident because of poor management, and because of the restructuring in the early years, it was tossed yellow, and no one took care of it, so it was deserted here. To move forward, you have to go through this factory.

Brother Ning had a bitter face, put his hand on the pergola and looked around, and said very anxiously: "Then let's go quickly." ”

"Not busy." Fan Qiang said. He told us that the guy said that the chemical plant was very unsafe, that there had been accidents in the past, chemical leaks, and pollution of the whole area.

Brother Ning was angry: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, how can we go?" “

Fan Qiang pointed to the ground. He said that the guy gave a route. The surface of the chemical plant cannot be walked, but under the chemical plant, there is a very large passage, which is full of complex pipelines and wiring, criss-crossing and much safer than the surface.

Brother Ning was anxious: "Then hurry up." Where can I go underground? ”

Fan Qiang muttered silently, probably recalling the route that the guy had said. Then he took us to look for it, and after several circles, his legs were thin, and finally he found a manhole cover under a wall.

The manhole cover was mottled with rust, a long time ago, and two crooked words were written in black paint: Danger. Very shocking.

We don't care about any of this, it's been abandoned for so many years, and it's dangerous. Lin Yong and I pulled an iron ring on the manhole cover and lifted the manhole cover together.

I looked inside, and there was a deep hole under the manhole cover, and there was a faint iron ladder leading into the darkness, and I couldn't see it any further. A stream of cold wind blew out from below, making a "whine" sound at the mouth of the well, which sounded cold, like countless people moaning and screaming, a little terrifying.

Brother Ning touched the cyan hair stubble and said, "Next!" ”

He pointed at my nose: "Liu Yang, you and Lu Wen go first, hurry up!" ”

I held my breath in my heart, not to mention anything else, Brother Ning's life was saved by me. At that time, if I hadn't insisted on my opinion, we wouldn't have cared about him at all, He Qin wouldn't have died, and we wouldn't have done such a series of extremely cruel things to Lu Wen. I really regret it.

Lu Wen touched me and whispered, "Let's go." ”

I wiped my face, and was the first to go into the deep well, holding on to the iron ladder and going down cautiously. It was too dark to have any light, so I fell very slowly, and only when I held my hands and feet were solid did I dare to move my whole body weight over. This kind of downward method is extremely physical and energetic, and it may only be ten meters down, my whole body seems to be on fire, my clothes are soaked, and sweat is dripping down.

The well is so deep that it seems that there is no end to it. Just when I was too tired to do anything, I suddenly saw a faint light coming from below.

With hope in my heart, I hurried to speed up, but before I could get below, I suddenly heard the sound of a rumbling machine. I felt like something was wrong. Isn't it said that the chemical plant has been abandoned for many years, how can there still be machines in operation?

Finally below, I descended from the iron ladder and saw a damp and stuffy passage with a dim light bulb on my head. I walked cautiously forward, this passage was very short, and there were computer rooms all over the corner, most of which had no doors, sewage everywhere, and stains on the walls. The machines inside are very old, and the strange thing is that they are all on the indicator lights, and they are all running.

At this time, they all climbed down from it, and everyone looked at the place as they walked, very surprised. The point is, when you walk here, the passage is getting narrower and narrower, the lighting is extremely poor, and it is very gloomy. The walls are covered with thick pipes, and some places are dripping with water droplets, and in this ghost place, the more you go inside, the more depressing it becomes, and people with claustrophobia can't support it at all.

It's like we're walking into a dead end.
