Volume 2 The Eye of the Deep Chapter 8 Zhuang Zhou Mengdie
That night, I felt like I was sleeping very unsteadily, and I was in a daze, waking up from time to time. When I woke up again, I found myself back in the underground lab, sitting against the door.
I was taken aback, haven't I already returned to the hotel? How did you come back again? Am I sleepwalking? I looked in my hand, and there was a small flashlight.
A hoarse voice came from outside the door, "Is there anyone else!" There's no locking the door! Then there was a click, and I felt the lights go out the door. A series of footsteps made their way up the stairs and slowly faded away.
I was stunned for a moment, it was the voice of the doorman. Is that a dream now, or is the experience I had with my second uncle a dream?
Could it be that when I first entered the laboratory, I fell asleep leaning against the door, so I dreamed of the encounter with my second uncle.
I stood up with some confusion and scanned the situation in the laboratory with a flashlight, I couldn't wait to use the flashlight to shine on the top of the row of display cabinets, I remember that in my memory just now, the second uncle was hiding here. But when I shined my flashlight on it, it was empty.
I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it seemed that it might really be a dream just now, I couldn't help but laugh a little dumbly, I had just fallen asleep, and I had such a strange dream, and at the same time, it was also because of this reason, I had a little loss in my heart.
I took two steps backwards and subconsciously turned to look at the row of test tables, and this look made my heart hang again, because I actually saw that there was a test table that was abruptly put aside.
I ran over and took a picture of the countertop, where a blurry line of numbers was still there.
I didn't care to read the numbers, so I hurriedly moved the bench aside and shone on the thick layer of dust that had accumulated on the ground. I reached out and touched the water in my pocket, and it was there.
With trembling hands, I unscrewed the cap and poured the water to the ground. I felt a little broken at this point, I didn't know why I was doing this, but I just knew I was going to do it.
I felt like my consciousness was a little blurry, and it was all déjà vu.
I felt like I was repeating a process, but I didn't know which process was what I was really experiencing.
I watched as the water on the ground slowly seeped into the ground, outlining a square trail.
Without thinking about it, I walked straight to the back of a display case and reached for the crowbar.
I'm like a candidate who knows the answers to the test papers, and I can write the answers to all the questions without thinking, but the process is so weird.
I frantically pried open the entrance, and as I slowly flipped the heavy lid of the hole to the side, I already knew what was going on inside the hole, and there was a herringbone ladder underneath it.
Oops! Suddenly, I thought to myself, if there is a human hand chrysalis down there, but I don't have leeks!
I thought about it again, although this place is so similar to my previous memory, there is also a difference, that is: there is no second uncle here. Could it be that the setting related to the second uncle in my memory just now doesn't appear here? I don't know why I think that.
I was standing at the edge of the hole, but the flashlight in my hand was off, and I didn't know if I should shine inside. Now that I know the end, I don't know if there's any need to continue.
Moreover, if there is really a hand meat chrysalis down there, should I close the hole and leave immediately, buy two catties of leeks tomorrow, and then come back.
Despite what I thought, I turned on my flashlight and shone it into the hole.
At that moment, I screamed in fright and fell to the ground. Because I saw that on the herringbone ladder inside the hole, an unkempt man was sitting at the top of the herringbone ladder, looking straight at me. This man's hair and beard were very long, and they were scattered all over his face, and I couldn't see his facial features clearly.
I sat down on the ground and hurriedly climbed back a few steps on my hands and feet. Then he pointed his hand forward, his eyes fixed on the hole.
Is this a dream? Why does it all feel so real? Which is a dream? How I wish the experience with my second uncle just now was real!
However, at this time, I couldn't tell which one was a dream, because I watched a hand slowly come out of the hole, and this scene made my back cold, and I couldn't help but think of leeks.
Immediately afterwards, the man crawled out of the hole and stood straight in front of me.
My voice trembled a little and said, "You... Who are you? ”
A calm, unwavering voice came from the man's mouth, "You came to me, and you want to ask who I am?" ”
Your place? Hearing him say this, I immediately realized, and I said, "You, you are Huangshan?" ”
This one was a little surprised, "Oh? Huangshan? You recognized the wrong person, my surname is Yue! The man sneered, "Why are you sitting on the ground?" Why, are you afraid of me? ”
I felt a little embarrassed on my face, and I couldn't help but curse secretly: A manly man, he would rather be beaten to death than be scared to death!
I immediately jumped up from the ground, "Who's afraid of you!" Let me tell you, Huangshan, do you want to admit it? The return of the five mountains does not look at the mountain, and the Yellow Mountain does not look at the mountain. Huangshan, changing the surname to Yue, is very appropriate. Teacher Yue? You are Huangshan! ”
The man still sneered, "Just by this sentence, you think I'm Huangshan, ridiculous!" ”
At this time, I had forgotten my fear, and stepped forward and said: "Not only that, but a geological exploration researcher at a scientific research institute in Hebei Province. Right? ”
As I said this, the man suddenly fell silent.
I knew that I had already exposed him, so I smiled and said, "Of course, there are, Qi, Lian, Shan!" ”
As I uttered these three words, I saw his eyes, hidden behind his messy hair, change, and a wave of madness and murderous intent suddenly filled his eyes.
In the blink of an eye, he pounced on me and glared at me fiercely, "Why do you know this!" I'll kill you! ”
Feeling his cold killing intent, my heart almost stopped beating, I felt that it was difficult to breathe, and just when I felt a little weak in my legs, all of a sudden, I smelled a strange smell, some stinky, and some fragrant smell.
In an instant, I figured it out, understood, and I couldn't help but laugh.
The man was a little surprised, "What are you laughing at when you die?" ”
At this point, I looked him straight in the eye, "Because you're the dream!" You're in my dreams! You want to kill me? With that, I pushed him away.
The man paused for a moment, and even smiled, "You found out, it's good!" He clapped his hands as he spoke.
Then he clapped his hands as he walked towards the hole in the ground, "I hope you can go to the end, the real end!" But maybe you'll come back, back down there, and I'll be waiting for you below! Ha ha! Slowly, his figure disappeared at the entrance of the cave, but the snapping sound of clapping, still ringing, I was uncomfortable by the noise, suddenly I woke up, I opened my eyes and looked, I found myself lying on the big bed in the hotel, my heart suddenly relaxed, the air was still filled with a smell of stinky leeks and air fresheners. And at this time, I actually thought it tasted pretty good.
I rubbed my eyes and sobered up for a moment, only to notice the sound of a banging on the door, which was ringing non-stop, and someone was knocking on the door.
I stood up and put on my dressing gown. looked out from the cat's eye on the door, and saw the second uncle standing in front of the door with a bag on his back.
I stretched out my hand to open the door, and the second uncle stepped in in one step, with a sigh of admiration in his mouth, "I said that you kid is really a loser, but this place is really good, the hall at the door is really magnificent, and the waiters are all so beautiful!" As he spoke, the second uncle casually threw the bag on the ground, "Huh! Such a big picture window! Panoramic sea view! ”
I rubbed my head and eyes sleepily, "Second uncle, you visit slowly!" I'll sleep a little longer! ”
The second uncle was looking at the sea outside the window at this time, and he didn't answer me.
I collapsed on the bed again, but suddenly I didn't feel sleepy. I sat up and looked at my second uncle who was distracted in front of the window. But in my head, I was dreaming just now.
I suddenly remembered the story of Zhuang Zhoumengdie, was it real just now, or is it real now? Did I just sleep in the hotel and have a dream of going back to the underground lab? Or am I still in an underground lab and have a dream of staying in a hotel?
The second uncle turned his head and looked at me looking at him in a daze, and was a little strange, "What are you kid looking at?" I haven't seen my second uncle for a while, and I'm going to invite my second uncle to drink! ”
I frowned, "Second Uncle, are you real, or am I dreaming?" ”
The second uncle stepped forward and stretched out his hand to give me a brain jump. The second uncle has a lot of strength, and my tears almost hurt this time, but this time it also made me sure of the truth of the second uncle.
"I see that you kid is sleeping stupid, hurry up! Let's eat! The second uncle said and reached out and threw his pants to me from the chair next to him.
Reluctantly, I got up and washed up. Just as I was about to go out with my second uncle, I suddenly remembered that there was one more thing to do, so I sent the bone fragments that I brought out of the underground of the Huangshan Laboratory last night to one of my classmates by courier. He now works at the Provincial Museum, and I called him and asked him to help me find an expert in paleontology to help me identify the fragment and see if I could find some clues.
After doing this, my second uncle and I went to the French restaurant on the first floor of the hotel for dinner. Although it was already noon, there were still not many people in the restaurant. We found a quiet corner and sat down.
The second uncle took out a wine jug from his pocket. I am familiar with this wine jug, the second uncle loves to drink, and in addition to breakfast, every meal a day is inseparable from liquor, so this wine jug never leaves his body.
The second uncle poured himself half a cup and asked, "That classmate of yours, can you really figure out that bone fragment?" ”
"Not necessarily, there are no other clues anyway, let's be a dead horse as a live horse doctor." I cut a steak and stuffed it into my mouth, "Second uncle, you are always well-informed, do you have any opinions?" ”
The second uncle nodded, "After I went back yesterday, I thought about it for a long time, and I really thought of a historical event that might be related to this matter. ”
As soon as I heard this, I immediately became interested, and hurriedly asked, "What incident?" ”
The second uncle said word by word: "Xu Fu Dongdu!" ”
