Chapter 7: The Ghost Building

Tofu was the first to speak, and said, "Little sister, do you want to come over and have a partner?" ”

The little girl's eyes swept around the faces of the two of us, and said, "I saw that you came out of the third building of the old alley, you are so bold that you dare to live there." ”

I was stunned for a moment, thinking that there was something in her words, so I asked, "I have paid for the room, why don't I dare to live?" ”

The little girl smacked her tongue and said, "It seems that you don't know." I've lived here since I was a child, and the building is old and haunted. ”

Tofu was stunned and said to me, "I'll just say that the place is gloomy, no, we have to get something to ward off evil spirits." ”

I said in my heart, I have decided to deal with the dead, and I am afraid of what lonely ghosts, but the tofu is even more frightened, so I said to the little girl: "Little sister, in the middle of the night, you don't mention ghosts and gods to us, even if there are real ones, we two big men, hot and yang, are not afraid to come." You are young, you can't be so superstitious, you have to look at things scientifically. ”

The little girl was not happy, and pouted: "I have good intentions to persuade you, even if you don't have money, you can rent one, two, or four, and the rent is the same, why rent three, don't you find that there are only the two of you in three buildings?" ”

I was stunned and looked at Tofu. There are few people in the old alley building, I know that. But the three buildings only lived me and Tofu, which I don't know. Could it be that there is really something wrong with the three buildings?

If it had been before, I would definitely not believe it, but after experiencing the cat, I was also a little confused about these things, so I asked her: "Is there really a problem with these three buildings?" What kind of evil method? ”

The little girl was quite desired, smiled, and said, "Then you have to invite me to supper, otherwise I won't sue you." ”

Tofu said: "Hey, you little girl, you will really take the opportunity to blackmail, see that you look so beautiful and cute, I paid for today's money, you hurry up and say, we can also take precautions." ”

The little girl immediately ate unceremoniously, and while eating, she told us a story about the three buildings of the old alley. She said that this is not a story, but a true story, but all the old residents in this neighborhood know it, so no one dares to rent three houses.

Only some unsuspecting foreign drawings are cheap, but after living for a long time, almost all evil things will happen, so most of them have moved away by themselves. The three buildings that stand in this old town are like a forgotten unfinished building, abandoned day after day.

The predecessor of Shenzhen was a place that made a living by going out to sea to fish, and was called 'Bao'an County' in the old days, also called Nantou.

During the Anti-Japanese War, Nantou fell, and before that, a lot of watchtowers and artillery towers were built, and the two existing buildings in the old city were the ruins of that time. Originally, there were four watchtowers, it is said that when the south head fell, the watchtowers were directly captured, and the guards inside were blocked inside, and all of them were burned alive, so the heroic soul did not disperse, lingered in the watchtower.

Later, around the sixties, people at that time did not have such a strong sense of heritage protection as now, so they bulldozed two of the watchtowers and picked up the workers' dormitory on them, which is the old alley building where we live now.

Of these, three are located right on the site of one of them.

After the house was built, for some reason, fires broke out again and again, killing many people. Later, the factory closed down, and the remaining house was sold to a real estate developer surnamed Jia, whose name was Jia Zhongzhen, but it was already in the 80s. At that time, Shenzhen was in the midst of reform and opening up, and there were migrant workers everywhere, and there was a shortage of housing, so Jia Zhongzhen rented these houses to migrant workers.

But one year, a fire broke out again in the three buildings, this time in a huge accident that burned many people. Jia Zhongzhen's wife and children at home were also smoked to death, and he was burdened with a debt of human life, and he couldn't afford to pay it back, so he jumped from the three buildings and fell to his death.

The house was auctioned off by the government and changed hands again, which is the current owner.

According to the little girl, the reason why she knows so well is because her parents have also rented three houses. One night, while her parents were sleeping, they suddenly smelled a burning smell.

Her mother woke up, thinking it was a fire.

But the room was pitch black, and it didn't look like it was on fire.

What's going on?

Her mother wondered, could it be that she forgot to turn off the stove? At that time, gas was not widely available, and most people still burned charcoal stoves. Her mother then walked to the outhouse where the charcoal stove was placed, and by the faint moonlight, she suddenly found that there was a person squatting next to the stove!

Look at the figure, like a man.

Not good! Her mother exclaimed, "There are thieves! "Say it, and pick up the iron rod next to you to dry clothes as a protective body, and the man heard the voice and turned his head sharply.

At that moment, the little girl's mother was stunned.

It turned out that when the man turned his head, his face was on fire, and the fire was very strange, it didn't shine at all, and the flames just covered his face. The flesh on the man's face gradually turned red, black, and charred under the burning of the fire, and the smell of burning became stronger, and the man gradually walked towards the little girl's mother......

The next morning, her mother woke up, and although nothing happened, she didn't dare to live anymore, and immediately moved out of the old alley building. I didn't dare to leave this area because of the rent.

After listening to Tofu and I, the little girl was also full, wiped her mouth, and said, "I have said everything I know, but if you are bold and really not afraid, then I can't care about it." After a pause, she said, "Thank you for the treat, I should go back." After speaking, without waiting for us to ask questions, a gust of wind slipped away.

When I looked at the bill, I immediately yelled badly, and said to Tofu: "I thought this little girl would say something, but it turned out to be a ghost story, and when I heard a ghost story from her, I ate a hundred yuan from us, and this business is too loss-making." ”

Tofu said: "But I see what she said has a nose and eyes, let's not really rent a ghost building, right?" I've heard people say that when people memorize words, they are particularly prone to dirty things. That cat may have cast a spell on us, and we can rent a murderous house if we rent a house, and it's too mildew. What now, the house is still uninhabitable? ”

I've always been more courageous, and if I want to tell ghost stories, I've heard too much, and if I come to a casual one, it's better than the horror just now, and I can really be scared by a little girl? I then said, "Of course we want to live, we have paid the money, the house has been cleaned up, the beds and stoves that should be moved over have been made, and now I am scared by a ghost story, are you still a man?" We're just going to be so blind all day? ”

When Tofu heard this, he nodded and said, "Yes, this little girl is here to eat and drink, quite like you back then." I still remember when we met, half of my snack pocket money was taken by you. ”

While eating and talking, this episode was quickly forgotten by us, and after eating and drinking, we went back to our rooms in Building 3 and began to work.

The tomb robbery industry is a shady industry, and they all work at night, so in some places, the black language also calls tomb robbery 'palm lamp'. After some measurements, we chose the location of the thief hole under the bed in the bedroom, and went down the shaft directly from here.

First, use a pry to remove the cement on the surface, and after the soil is exposed, start to use a probe shovel to dig the hole.

Three types of probe shovels, first with the largest shaft, we worked for half a night, a shaft ten meters deep, dug out of the soil, taking advantage of the night, all poured into the mud lake behind the old alley building.

The lake used to be a reservoir, but the surrounding area was remodeled, and the water of the reservoir was drained and the location was repeatedly reduced, so that a backwater lake was formed. The aquatic plants in the lake are entangled, mosquitoes are flying, and the environment is very bad, but because of the location, it has not attracted the attention of the relevant departments, and the soil is poured into the mud paste, and the gods do not know it.

According to the information given by Hu Lao Blind before, the civil official tombs we want to dig are not deep, and in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, the national strength declined, and it was not necessary to bury them deeply. Ten meters is a reasonable depth that I calculated. In the following days, the two of us went out day and night, tired and tired, needless to say, like a soil mouse in the ground, gradually made a roundabout robbery hole, seeing that success was close at hand, suddenly an unexpected thing happened, which I did not expect.

When we worked, we took turns, one outside and one inside. In the later stage of digging the hole, there is no need to make soil, and in my grandfather's notes, a very ingenious method is recorded. That is, every time you dig a section forward, you dig a hole under your body, and then you will press the soil out tightly, and accumulate little by little.

Generally, experienced tomb robbers in the past will do this, so that around the robbery hole, there is no sign of soil at all, and there is no way to start even if you want to investigate.

I dug more than 500 meters, in a square, and people had to climb into it. According to the distance estimate, my current position is close to the edge of the Huiyong River, not far from the tomb of the civil official. During the day, I also deliberately re-planned the location, as long as I got to this place, the robbery hole turned to the left, and I could directly enter the front of the civil tomb.

It stands to reason that the first thing I came into contact with was a tomb brick. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, due to the relationship of financial resources, from time to time to bury, the civil official is not an official position with oil and water, so the outer layer of the tomb, there will be no protective belt, this time can dig out a porcelain or calligraphy and painting tablet or something, thank God.

But when I went down with a shovel, I didn't dig up the bricks, but a piece of rotten wood.

The wood was pulled out, and it rolled up to my nose, and it was pitch black, and it emitted this earthy stench, and when I looked closely at it with a flashlight, it turned out to be a fragment of a coffin!

What's going on? The tomb has not yet been entered, how can there suddenly be a coffin in the soil?
