Chapter 66: Exploring the Haunted House at Night
Early the next morning, Liu Zifeng went straight to the refugee camp to find "Qingfang" in order to introduce a job to the "Gulangyu Relief Association from All Walks of Life" to solve the problem of eating, and even more hoped to find some clues of "snow wolf".
In Huangjiadu, he saw a large number of refugees living in simple bamboo huts, and many refugees had no place to live, so they had to sleep on the streets. With a heavy heart, he walked through the refugee settlement and came to the Yude Women's Middle School, where the "Gulangyu All Walks of Life United Relief Association" is located.
The campus of Yude Women's High School has also been turned into a shelter, where many victims live and there is chaos. Liu Zifeng came to the temporary office converted into a classroom to look for "Qingfang", and Sister Zheng, who had a dark face and short ear-length hair, was very capable and amiable, and had already started a busy day.
Sister Zheng is sitting at her desk making a "refugee life adjustment form", which reads "drinking water, food, medicine" and so on. From time to time, people came in the house, and it seemed very cluttered and busy.
Liu Zifeng came to Sister Zheng and greeted her.
Sister Zheng put down the work in her hand and asked enthusiastically, "Sir, who are you looking for?" ”
"I'm here to find 'Qingfang', is she there?" Liu Zifeng said with a smile.
"You're looking for 'Qingfang', she took sick leave today and didn't come." Sister Zheng said enthusiastically and simply.
"Oh!" Liu Zifeng looked disappointed.
"Sir, what are you looking for her?" Sister Zheng asked.
Liu Zifeng thought for a while and said, "I'm here to find a job, do you need a helper?" ”
Sister Zheng listened happily: "That's great, there are many refugees in the shelter, maintaining order, building bamboo houses, sanitation and epidemic prevention, and there is more work, and the relief club is worried about the lack of manpower?" ”
She looked Liu Zifeng up and down again, and asked: You are alone, is there anyone else?
"I'm alone!" Liu Zifeng agreed.
"Then you can work here, we don't have pay, but we have food!" Sister Zheng said happily.
"It's okay to have something to eat, I'll report tomorrow!"
"In a moment, you can walk around and familiarize yourself with the working environment first!" After Sister Zheng explained to Liu Zifeng, she was busy with work again.
"Thank you!" Wang Zifeng walked out after speaking.
Liu Zifeng came to the refugees again, just as a team of porridge deliverers walked past him. Leading the way was Chen Qingfeng, the manager of the Zhaohe Food Canning Company, in his fifties, dressed in a riding coat, shorts and a straw hat.
Chen Qingfeng shouted all the way: "Give way, give way......"
Liu Zifeng dodged aside.
After the porridge team had passed, he continued to walk forward, observing everyone in front of him very attentively.
Liu Zifeng passed by a large shelter and heard several victims talking about the haunting of the "haunted house", so he stopped curiously to listen.
The tall refugee painted vividly: "A few days ago, a few of us who dared to flee secretly ran to the "Bagua Building" to sleep, and when we just slept until the second half of the night, we heard the sound of 'Dang Dang', sometimes light and sometimes heavy, like a ghost knocking on the door, eerie and terrifying, several of us were so frightened that we crawled and left the "Bagua Building". ”
The short refugee answered: "You dare to go to the 'Bagua Building', don't die." I heard the old man say, the 'Bagua Building' was built by a rich overseas Chinese, it was a mass grave at that time, others advised him not to build, he didn't listen, since the construction began to be haunted not long after, there is a bold young man who does not believe in evil, and when he sleeps at night, the bed is facing south, but when he wakes up in the morning, his head is facing north, and the direction of getting out of bed has also become facing the wall. That place is very dangerous, and it will kill people! He said with a smile.
Another older refugee also chimed in: "What are you talking about, and there are even more supernatural things, and it will scare you to death if you say it......
Liu Zifeng listened to people talk about the haunting of the "haunted house" gossip building, and wondered if it would be related to the "snow wolf", so his curiosity was aroused.
He smiled at a few refugees and asked, "Are you talking about the 'haunted house' being the Bagua Building, is it so evil!" ”
The tall refugee looked at Liu Zifeng and said self-righteously: "Young man, what do you know." I have experienced it myself, can I still have a fake? ”
The short refugee glanced at Liu Zifeng with disdain and said: Do you know why the Bagua Building is called a "haunted house"?
Liu Zifeng shook his head.
The short refugee said, "I tell you, be careful not to be afraid. At the beginning, the overseas Chinese spent a huge amount of money when they started construction, and the owner of the house soon lost his financial resources, so he returned to Taiwan to sell part of his family property and rebuild, but in the end he could not support it, and was forced to declare bankruptcy, hand over the project to the housekeeper, and fly away alone. Since then, the construction site has been desolate, and it has become an abandoned house where 'spring grass grows in the pond, and the swallow mud falls on the empty beam'. During the construction, the workers fell to death, and the ghosts of the dead persisted, often haunted, and became a 'haunted house'. I heard that people live upstairs, and when they wake up, they become downstairs, and as for how they got down, no one knows. The old house is resentful, and the people on the island don't travel in the dark, don't go there, don't look for trouble! ”
Liu Zifeng couldn't stop nodding.
At night, Liu Zifeng disguised himself as a refugee and slipped into the courtyard through a small gate in the back garden. He looked at the Bagua Building in front of him and secretly marveled. Bagua Tower is worthy of the landmark building of Drum Island, its dome directly imitates the world's oldest Islamic building - the stone dome of the mosque, the building is surrounded by 82 large columns of harp strings and carvings of green bucket stone vases, the stone beams and lines of the pins between the columns, can only be seen in the temple of Hefis in the square of Athens, Greece, and the periphery of the Bagua Tower is the ancient Roman Tashkent columnar corridor.
Wang Zifeng stopped and watched for a while, and then quickly entered the octagonal building, he found the circular staircase in the building, climbed slowly with one hand, and quietly climbed to the third floor, and saw a glimmer of light in the distance.
Liu Zifeng was taken aback, he suppressed the horror in his heart, and continued to quietly approach the bright light, it turned out that a candle that was shining brightly, there was no one around, the candlelight was beating in the dark, and then mixed with the legend of haunting, it became a "ghost fire".
The candle stood in front of the table, and there were many things on it. These stimulated Liu Zifeng's curiosity. He walked closer and saw that it was a table of eight immortals, and a gossip diagram was drawn on the table.
Liu Zifeng took a closer look at the gossip map by means of the faint light, and then stretched out his hand to try to touch the map, but he didn't know which dark button to touch, and a square hole automatically opened in the middle of the table, which hid a radio station and a code book.
This shocking secret made Liu Zifeng very happy. He quickly turned on the radio, wrote down the wavelength, took a picture of the codebook with his tiny camera, and quietly left.
