Chapter 548: Brick Factory
"My ancestors are the Anti-Japanese Federation!"
Xu Tianqi stiffened his neck and said proudly.
"Then you will disgrace your ancestors!" Liangzi hit a crit with a word, and Xu Tianqi suddenly wilted.
Xu Tianqi died at the end of the eighties, and he would have been just thirty, and thirty would have become the vice principal of a town-affiliated middle school.
"Don't play dead, be clear!" I flicked him.
"At the beginning, the Japanese killed some people in the village as if they were trying to ask something, and then they overwhelmed some people in the logging yard and dug pits and buried them alive!" Xu Tianqi said coyly.
"Tomorrow we will go to the brick factory, and you will show us the way!" I said.
"Okay, people are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, you can do what you say!" Xu Tianqi regained a trace of his true nature, an image of a laizi.
This product has not inherited the genes of his ancestors at all, not to mention being timid and lustful, and there is no awe of heroes in his heart.
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning, we drove Xu Tianqi to the brick factory.
The brick factory is in the northernmost part of Baoxi Town, and Baoxi Town takes the cross street as the dividing line, and after this street, the further north it goes, the more dilapidated it becomes.
All the way to the north, most of the houses are mud brick houses of the eighties and nineties, and there are few brick houses.
"In front of the commune is the old man's house, and after the commune, there is a brick factory in the north!" Xu Tianqi said with a gesture.
The commune, commonly known as the people's commune, was the former town government, surrounded by high walls and locked gates, and it was deserted for a long time at first glance.
After the commune, the stone road turned into a sandy road, potholed, and difficult to walk, but the outline of the brick factory was also revealed.
From time to time, you can see a lot of earthen kilns, and you can see a lot of semi-finished brick stacks, but no one can see them.
"Where are you going?"
I stopped in front of a dirt slope and looked around.
"If you follow this path, you will see the factory building about a mile or so, and there is a bathhouse there, from which the first legends of ghosts came from!" Xu Tianqi stood at the front of the car, looked around, and pointed out the way.
The road is not too wide, but it can accommodate a car to pass, and there are a lot of weeds, so you can see that no one has passed here for many years.
After about 100 meters along the path, I saw a deserted substation, and some thumb-thick wires were scattered outside.
The copper inside the wires has been pumped out, leaving only some rubber, some of which has been sunburned and piled up in a ball.
After passing the electric transformer and walking more than 300 meters, a factory appeared in front of me.
The factory has a total of three floors, most of the skin falls off, and the red bricks are exposed, Xu Tianqi looked at it for a while, stretched out his finger and pointed to the hidden door and said: "The bathroom is on the first floor, go in and turn left, many people used to come here to take a free bath, and then something happened, saying that someone saw the ghost, and there were fewer people coming!" ”
The brick factory is a state-owned enterprise, eating a big pot of rice, the country's cheapness is not taken for nothing, I am not surprised by the free bath, I am not surprised, whether it is good to burn the bricks, there are people pulling out one car after another.
"It was the women's bath that had an accident, and no one dared to go there!" Xu Tianqi was still babbling, and his eyes were shining, "I don't know if there is a ghost, but later, as soon as a woman took a bath inside, there were men guarding outside, and when they heard the screams, they rushed in!" ”
I shook my head secretly, Xu Tianqi is hopeless.
Entering the factory, I walked in according to Xu Tianqi's instructions, turned left, and after a few steps, I saw a room with white porcelain tiles, and a crooked sign hung on the door - women's bath.
"This is it!"
Xu Tianqi stretched out his hand, looked in, and muttered, "Strange, why is there nothing?" ”
Walking into the bathroom, I looked around, there was a lot of space, on the left was a large pool that could accommodate forty or fifty people, and on the right was a dozen broken showers.
Most of the tiles on the floor had been pried away, revealing uneven cement, as did the pool, albeit more damaged.
"Gray Sun, take a closer look, is there any difference, Rhubarb, you can also take a look!" I rubbed Rhubarb's head and said.
"Wang!"
With my permission, Rhubarb scurried around the house.
"Ryoko, did you find anything?" I asked, with a few glances.
"Nope!" Ryoko shook her head.
"No, how could it not be, could it be that it was fake back then?" Xu Tianqi muttered.
"Gray Sun, did you find anything?"
After waiting for a while, I asked.
No one answered.
"Gray Sun?"
I subconsciously raised my voice, but no one answered.
"Grass!"
I scolded, the layout in the bathroom is very ordinary, there is a bath on one side, and a shower head on the other, it is empty, you can see it all at a glance, how could the gray sun disappear?
"No, where's the rhubarb?"
The next moment, my heart sank, and the rhubarb disappeared.
Just when my name was Gray Sun, Rhubarb was still in the bath, and it disappeared with a big fart, how could this be?
"There's something wrong with the bath!" Xu Tianqi shouted excitedly, "I'll just say, there are definitely ghosts in the women's bath!" ”
I ignored him and stepped straight into the bath, which was about a meter high, and most of the tiles in the pool had fallen off, revealing black cement, and in some places it was too damaged, revealing the red bricks underneath.
Ryoko and I probed inch by inch, but we didn't find any problems until we came to the middle of the bath, where the drain was.
"Brother, there seems to be something here!"
Ryoko crouched here, reached out and poked down.
The moment my finger touched the small water inlet, Ryoko disappeared in front of my eyes.
"Grass!"
I reached out and grabbed an empty space, and there was nothing but air.
"Ryoko!"
I lay on the ground, staring at the drain.
The drain was a small hole about ten centimeters in diameter, pitch black, and it didn't look unusual, but the bright son disappeared right before my eyes.
"You, go down and take a look!"
I raised my hand and pulled the paper figure where Xu Tianqi was hiding, and threw it down the drain without allowing him to object.
"Don't!"
Xu Tianqi only had time to shout, and then disappeared in front of my eyes.
My eyes narrowed, but my heart was even more puzzled, how did people disappear out of thin air, and where did they go?
After staring at the drain for a while, I slowly reached out and leaned down.
The moment I touched the pitch-black concrete wall, a strange sensation similar to suction came, and my eyes went black and I was pulled in.
With a feeling of weightlessness, I stumbled for a moment, and when I got up from the ground, I froze there.
What appeared in front of me was a village, a large village, with smoke curling and, crucially, low, dilapidated houses.
As far as the eye can see, most of the roofs are made of straw, and there are almost no brick and mud houses, all of which are mud and grass mixed with mud and grass.
"Brother, you're here too!"
Ryoko's voice woke me up, and I glanced sideways, not only Ryoko, but also Rhubarb and Gray Sun, who were in a similar state to me, in a semi-sluggish state.
"Could this be Bao Xitun?" I muttered.
"It should be!" Ryoko nodded.
We were at the head of the village, and there was a big poplar tree behind us, and three children with big snots were looking at us from the side.
These three children are not big, they look like they are only six or seven years old, their clothes are very shabby, patched, and dusty.
The eyes of the two of them were also strange, without much brilliance, with a stiffness.
"Children, is this Baoxitun?" I asked, walking over and smiling as hard as I could.
They didn't answer, tilted their heads to look at us, and ran away.
"Wait, these children have gone to the village to report the news, and someone will definitely come out in a while!" I said, looking at the back of the child.
Ryoko frowned and pondered for a moment, then asked, "Brother, how did we get here?" ”
I didn't answer, but squatted down and grabbed a handful of soil, the touch was very real, not like a fake, I had a faint guess in my heart, and said, "Do you know the underworld?" ”
"Yes!" Ryoko nodded.
"It's likely that we're entering a space similar to an underworld!" I guessed.
This is like the last time I broke free from the seal of the city god, the passage into the underworld was a utility room, and the passage into this place was the water of the bath.
"That's how it should be!" Gray Sun climbed up along my trouser legs, sniffed his nose and said, "Hall Master, I wonder if the people in this village are all wronged souls!" ”
As he spoke, a burst of gongs and drums sounded in the village, and the originally peaceful village moved.
If this is Baoxi Village 80 years ago, then the sound of gongs and drums is the signal.
Eighty years ago, the Northeast was not peaceful, the Japanese, bandits, the Anti-Japanese Union, and all kinds of routs were very chaotic, gongs and drums were beating, and the villagers would take up arms and besiege us.
But to my surprise, after a period of chaos, the village calmed down again, and a middle-aged man with a melon skin hat led a group of people out of the village.
"Melon skin hat, robe, horse coat, good clothing material, this guy should be the landlord!" Ryoko whispered.
"Contemptible Zhou Debao, added as the local tun chief, I don't know where the three came from?"
While speaking, the middle-aged man in the melon skin hat came to us and asked with a smile, but there was a fierce light flashing in his eyes.
"This is Bao Xitun?" I asked.
"Not bad!" He spit out two words, his waist bent slightly, his attitude was very right, he was respectful on the surface, but he was actually vigilant.
Behind him stood six people, relatively tattered, with vegetable-colored faces and a sense of numbness.
"We're passing through, can we borrow a day in Tunli?" I asked.
Hearing my request, his gaze wandered over us for a moment, and he said with a smile, "Yes!" At the same time, he made a gesture of please, and continued: "There are many mud legs in the village, if you don't dislike it, the three of you will stay at the contemptible house for one night!" ”
"Yes!"
I smiled and responded.
I, Liangzi and Xu Tianqi are not poor at first glance, and I am not surprised that Zhou Debao invited us to live at his house.
The first is that other families in the village are very poor, and it is indeed inconvenient to entertain guests, and the second is to welcome us to his house, and once something happens, it is convenient to deal with it.
As Zhou Debao walked towards the village, I could feel that almost everyone was peeping behind the door of every house.
Zhou Debao's house is located in the northernmost part of the village, and it is a large courtyard surrounded by a wall.
The courtyard wall is very high, more than two meters and nearly three meters, and there are people patrolling with guns on the courtyard wall, and the Zhou family is more like a fortress than an ordinary big family.
In fact, along the way, I was a little strange, the people in the tunzi didn't seem to know that they were dead.
The Zhou family is very large, there are nearly 20 people who take care of the home alone, and there are also guns, and there are many servants and the like.
We were arranged in the backyard, but Zhou Debao did not invite us to dine together, but said that we had already used it and would eat together in the evening.
One thing I'm curious about, Zhou Debao didn't inquire about the identities of our two people, looking at his appearance, it seems that he often entertains people like us.
I said that I wanted to go around the tunzi, and he didn't object, but said that there were many people in the tunzi, and two domestic servants were sent to follow us, and the meaning of surveillance was obvious.
Tunzi is not small, and the Zhou family can almost see the entire Tunzi because of the terrain.
After walking out of Zhou's house, we walked around the tunzi, and occasionally met a few villagers, who also walked around us with their heads down, not daring to contact us at all.
There are also people at the entrance of the village, or the three children, and the children seem to have been specially arranged here.
After turning back and forth twice, I didn't find anything, and the whole Baoxitun looked no different from a normal Tunzi, calm and peaceful.
