Chapter 40: Eight Characters
"Why is there a dog that is so good?" Wang Zitong asked.
"How do I know about Lu Dao?" The dog appeared so suddenly that my little heart hasn't eased up until now. Shine a flashlight on the surroundings, and it is quiet all around, except for the woods and weeds, there is no one.
Wang Zitong's face was a little unsightly, and I felt sorry in my heart. She is a girl, she was frightened just now, and I scolded and scolded her, which is really not very kind. I patted her on the shoulder: "It's been deserted here for so long, and it's reasonable to have a wild dog, don't think about it." ”
Wang Zitong let out an "oh", didn't talk about sex, and hid behind me. I stabilized my mind and continued to walk slowly. Further on, the scene changed, and the trees became denser and denser, and many of them were obscured from the road. The road gets narrower and narrower, and at the end of the road we carefully hold off the branches before we can continue to move forward.
"I've heard that a lot of people are committing suicide here." Wang Zitong, who had been silent, suddenly said softly behind his back.
I felt a little uncomfortable, so I answered casually, took the flashlight, and shone around. At this time, the clouds seemed to dissipate in the dim sky, and the moonlight fell through the thin black clouds. Through the faint moonlight, through the gaps in the branches, the outline of a building was faintly revealed not far ahead.
The building is very tall and looks a bit like an ancient building, with warped eaves and an antique look. Wang Zitong grabbed me and said excitedly: "That's it, that's it, let's hurry up and try to get there as soon as possible." ”
As we walked on, the branches became denser and denser, and there were occasional strange bird calls around the black forest. Walking in such a place, my heart is really high, and my whole body is tense.
When I looked back, I saw that the road I had come from was completely submerged in the sea of branches and trees, and it was difficult to turn back. I felt uncomfortable and a little surprised, how could I follow a little girl out of tune to this place where rabbits don't.
At this moment, through a forest, a large complex of buildings suddenly opened up in front of me. The buildings form a ring with the tall old building in the middle and the abandoned houses around it. To get to the middle destination, you have to walk through these abandoned houses.
Wang Zitong and I involuntarily held hands. Don't think about it, it doesn't mean anything else. In this case, it is impossible to have any other ideas. Holding hands with each other, it is somewhat comforting in their hearts, a bit like huddling together for warmth.
We stood in front of an abandoned house, and we didn't dare to venture in. The room was quite large, it seemed to be a tavern, the doors and windows were all in tatters, there was not a trace of light inside, and the ground was in tatters and dirty. Instead of going around looking for another way, you might as well just walk through here.
It was too quiet for me to speak loudly, so I pointed to the abandoned house and made a gesture to go in. Wang Zitong was both frightened and curious, and clung to me, his face slightly pale.
When I came to the door, I looked inside, and it seemed to be deserted for a long time, and there was no popularity at all. I walked in boldly, and Wang Zitong followed closely.
Because the light of the flashlight is limited, it can only illuminate an area of a few meters in front of you, and the shadow is not very clear. The other place that can't be illuminated is a darkness with no fingers visible. As far as the eye could see, the ground was full of tattered wood, bricks, and waste paper, and their feet creaked on them.
Wang Zitong trembled and said, "What's the matter? It's too infiltrating here. ”
Walking inside, there is a narrow corridor. The skin of the walls on both sides has peeled off, revealing the red bricks inside. Passing through the hallway, there is a small room. There was a stove inside, and tall bowls and plates were piled up in the sink next to it, so this should be the kitchen. I walked over to the sink, shone it with a flashlight, and looked closely.
Wang Zitong urged me to walk quickly, but I didn't move, because I had just discovered something strange.
The faucet on the sink was still open, but not a drop of water fell. I reached out and tightened it, thought about it, and opened it again. The metal was rusty, and it squeaked as it writhed.
Wang Zitong was very scared, hugged his shoulders, and complained: "Uncle, you are so childlike, what is there to play with." ”
"Don't you think it's strange?" I say.
"How?"
"The faucet here is open for what is open? Why didn't the people here close it when they left? I said.
"Uncle, please, can you be more serious. It is likely that there was a sudden water and electricity outage, and of course they didn't turn it off. ”
"Something is wrong." I said, "I have a feeling that the people here are brushing the dishes in the kitchen and suddenly something happens and they don't have time to turn off the faucet." ”
"Don't listen, don't listen." Wang Zitong covered his ears: "Don't analyze blindly here, you're already afraid." ”
Let her be done, and I myself will be terrified. I had to pull her to continue walking inside, and walked out of the back door of the kitchen, and after walking a short distance, there was suddenly a fishy smell. The smell was so strong that it really killed us, and we covered our noses tightly.
When I walked over, I saw that I had arrived at the bathroom. The gate was hidden, revealing a gap, and there was a black forest inside, which was so scary to look at.
Wang Zitong patted me hard, with a terrified expression on her face, and she pointed to the door with her finger.
I walked over and shone a flashlight, only to see someone on the door who had drawn a portrait of someone. This person's head is a back, with long hair, it must be a woman. Although he only has long hair, his painting skills are superb and very expressive. In the dim light, I had a strong illusion that it was like a living woman lying on the toilet door.
My hands are shaking and my throat is throbbing, it's fucking scary.
"Uncle, there are words underneath." Wang Zitong said.
I shone it with a flashlight, and sure enough, there was a line of small print underneath the woman. Bright red, bright red, like it was written in blood. I squinted and read carefully: "At noon on the ninth day of the fifth month of the year of Jiazi...... It's like a figure eight. ”
Wang Zitong asked: "Is it the eight characters of this woman's image?" ”
When she finished asking me, she noticed that I was standing there motionless. She was scared and gently touched me: "Uncle, uncle......"
I suddenly said, "Ahhh I was so absorbed in contemplation just now that I was so absorbed in it that I forgot about the things around me. Wang Zitong looked at me a little scared: "You have nothing to do." ”
"I think of something. I think I've seen this man's eight characters somewhere. I said.
Wang Zitong looked at me stunned, and then stretched out his little hand to touch my forehead: "Uncle, have you been here before?" How come many things are familiar to you? ”
I shuddered and pulled out the pack of cigarettes from my pocket, searched for it, pulled out a cigarette, and handed it to her.
"Girl, you said that the red letters on this cigarette are scriptures, look at what these scriptures are written."
Wang Zitong took the cigarette suspiciously, and I lit it with a flashlight next to me. The words on the cigarette were supposed to have been written when the skin was unfolded, but now they are rolled into a cylinder, and the words are distorted and difficult to read.
But Wang Zitong still recognized it, and she read slowly: "The ...... of the fifth month of the year of Jiazi" She stopped suddenly, opened her eyes wide, and looked up at the words on the toilet. She stumbled and said, "Uncle, uncle, the figure eight on your cigarette is the same as the figure on the toilet door." What's going on? ”
My heart was pounding, and it seemed as if I had touched the edge of something huge. I took the cigarette, reinserted the case, took a deep breath, pointed to the toilet, and said, "Go in and have a look." ”
I pushed the door open, and Wang Zitong hid behind me like a kitten. The toilet area is quite large, this should be a men's toilet, tiled flooring, against the wall is a row of urinals. The smell is very strong, fishy and sassy, and the bottom of the urinal is brownish-yellow, and I don't know what it is. Wang Zitong and I covered our noses and went around. There was a special kind of cold, very low temperature, and goosebumps.
The strangest thing is that the toilet is actually hung with a huge curtain that hangs from the ceiling to the ground, clearly dividing the toilet into two parts. This curtain is dirty and broken, thick and thick, impermeable, and I don't know what is behind it.
I pointed to the curtain, and Wang Zitong nodded. I tiptoed over and gently lifted it, it was dark inside, and before I could see what it was, I felt a strong chill hit my face, and I shivered from the cold.
The two of us shone a flashlight together, and under the staggered light spots, we saw a dirty bathtub against the wall. The bathtub is really buried, estimated to have been abandoned for at least ten years, and is stained with a layer of yellow limescale dirt on the outside. Wang Zitong was about to go over, and I grabbed her. She looked at me in amazement: "What's wrong?" ”
My heart was beating faster and I drew circles on the bathtub with a flashlight: "This ......"
"Are you familiar again?" Wang Zitong asked.
I nodded emphatically: "Damn, it's evil, I seem to have seen this bathtub somewhere." A long, long time ago, it seems that I also saw such a dirty bathtub in such a dark room. It's over, Wang Zitong, I'm completely old, I can't remember anything. ”
"Cut." Wang Zitong gave me a blank look, but still got in.
I followed her and we walked to the bathtub together. The closer you get to the bathtub, the more surprisingly cold it gets, and the temperature drops so fast that it almost freezes. We used a flashlight to shine in the bathtub, and this photo was really chilling.
I don't know who pasted the bathtub to death with cement. Just a finger's distance below the mouth of the tank is a thick layer of cement, which glues the entire bathtub tightly. Wang Zitong looked at me with a pale face, and I looked at her, but I really couldn't figure out what the situation was.
I picked up an iron bar on the ground and gently tapped the concrete surface of the tub, making a dull sound.
"What's going on?" I said to myself.
Wang Zitong said softly: "Uncle, I suddenly have a feeling that the person who seals the bathtub with cement seems to be afraid that the contents will come out." ”
I realized something, and my teeth chattered: "You mean, there's still something in this bathtub?" What's that? ”
"What do you think? What will be hidden in the bathtub? Wang Zitong said.
There is an answer, in fact, we all know it in our hearts, but no one has said it.
That is, people.
In the cement of this bathtub, maybe it is sealed by a person. It's been so long that even a human being has become a corpse.
I felt uncomfortable all over my body, especially my joints hurt a little, as if I had a severe cold, so I patted Wang Zitong and signaled me to hurry up. Who knew that Prince Lu Dao was on the edge of the bathtub, slowly knelt on the ground, and actually listened to the cement.
"How?" I asked in a low voice.
Wang Zitong took my hand: "Uncle, below...... There's a real sound down there. ”
I walked over and listened carefully. In the dark room, there was silence, and the blackness weighed on us like stones. I barely listened for a while, not to mention, it was really sound. The sound was strange and indescribable, like the sound of fingernails scratching cement.
I heard it clearly, my face turned white, and I glanced at Wang Zitong, my heart pounding.
Good guys, is there really anyone in there? And it's not dead, it's buckling the cement surface little by little, and it's going to come out.
We listened intently for a while, and it was indeed true, it was a low "hiss-la-la" sound, which made people listen to it like a paw scratching the heart a few times, which was particularly uncomfortable.
Wang Zitong stood up and pulled me, trembling and said, "Uncle, hurry up." ”
I looked at the bathtub, my face was solemn, and I waved my hand: "You go out first." ”
Wang Zitong looked at me and stomped his feet anxiously: "Uncle, are you crazy?" There is a ...... underneath this bathtub There are ghosts ......," she said with difficulty.
"I seem to remember something." I frowned, "I can't go like this." ”
As I spoke, I lifted the iron bar, and suddenly smashed it into the cement surface of the bathtub with all my might, "popping" it, smashing it hard, and the cement crumbs flew around.
Wang Zitong stood next to him, and the girl almost cried: "Uncle, you can't smash it, you're crazy......"
