Three years ago in the summer. My colleagues and I went to Erlongshan, a suburb of Harbin, to attend the training. Erlong Mountain is in Heilongjiang, speaking of which, although Heilongjiang is not economically developed, but because of this, there are many virgin forests that have not been developed, but there are many places with excellent scenery.

I'm a reporter, I can't be idle on weekdays, maybe it's because of my personality, I like to do some challenging things, such as going undercover at a barbecue restaurant, exposing the secrets of gutter oil, such as doing some supervision and reporting, and committing a lot of crimes. Once, in order to deceive me, the other party even arranged for a beautiful woman to stand under the street lamp to seduce me. If I hadn't lost my wallet that day, and I didn't even have the money to open a house, maybe I would have really fallen into the trap, which shows that poverty can be regarded as saving my life.

For my own safety, I started to work out, and I also studied with some martial arts instructors, and practiced some fists and feet to protect myself, and we bachelors have nowhere to vent our energy, so we are all obsessed with adventure, usually climbing mountains, climbing rocks, but no one has really been to the primeval forest.

Before coming to Erlong Mountain this time, I did a lot of homework, and I heard that this Erlong Mountain is also a beautiful place, especially a well-preserved primeval forest, just like a virgin, waiting for me to explore the deep boudoir, and I was very excited when I thought about it.

After lunch in the cafeteria, my colleague Lao Lu and I couldn't wait to go out. Lao Lu is in his 40s, he is an old and angry young man, often writes some angry words, especially good at official documents such as whistleblowing letters, and is deeply guarded by previous leaders, so he has worked in the unit for nearly 30 years, has been a propaganda officer, and is only an agent, and has not been able to become a regular so far.

But Lao Lu has a straightforward temperament, and I am very close to Inner Mongolian, and Lao Lu heard that I was going to go out for a walk, so he had to follow me. At this time, it was the height of summer, and Lao Lu and I found a quiet path and walked in the direction of the primeval forest.

The path is lined with trees on both sides, and even though it's noon, it's cool to walk on. The two of us chatted and walked, the topics were all-encompassing, from international current affairs to ecological civilization, and finally talked about folklore, Lao Lu was excited to tell me a touching story of a ghost's unfinished love, I listened to it with relish, who knew that he turned his words and turned to a certain leader's junior, so that I couldn't brake, I was laughing and scolding Lao Lu's poisonous tongue, but I found that there was something wrong with the road around me.

"This road, no, it's not a road at all!"

The woods on either side of us grew denser. The thick mud under our feet has become a soft layer over time, and stepping on it is like stepping on a pile of cotton, and it can be seen that no one has been here for a long time.

I looked up at the sky, the foliage was thick overhead, the sun was getting dimmer, and there were big trees around me, and we were so engaged in talking just now that we didn't know how far we had gone, and now we were in the middle of a strange dense forest.

I thought to myself, "Could this be the primeval forest?" "But when I looked around for a long time, I found that I was lost, and the trees looked like they were growing in the same way, in front of and behind me, like an iron cage trapping us.

My heart stirred, "Let's go!" "We don't dare to tell jokes anymore, in this deep mountain and dense forest, we can't see the edge of the front and back, God knows what beasts will be in this forest?

The two of us turned around and walked back, walking among the big trees for a long time, and found that each time we would return to the position we had just left, and the footprints left by the mud on the ground were still the same.

"We actually set up a circle in the same place, this is, the ghost hitting the wall!" I became more and more scared, and only then did I understand what 'Ye Gong Haolong' was and cursed in my heart for running so far to explore, and I suddenly missed my mother very much.

"In broad daylight, how can there be any ghosts hitting the wall, don't scare yourself, okay?" Lao Lu gasped and said, he was in a hurry just now, and he was snorting out of his big nostrils.

"Don't panic, don't panic, calm down." I controlled my emotions and meditated in my heart, saying that the ghost hitting the wall is a kind of ecstasy, a self-deception that uses the illusion of our eyes, that is, we trust what our eyes see too much. Just like in this dense forest, I think I am walking in a straight line, and the reference is a big tree, which is that these big trees all look the same, and the arrangement is messy, maybe I have a preconceived idea and have already gone around in circles by myself.

I've seen a lot of visually deceptive graphics online, and it's pretty much the same as what I'm in right now. Thinking of this, I stabilized my mind and called Lao Lu to follow me. I chose a direction, closed my eyes, and walked forward with my own feelings, Lao Lu understood, and he didn't make a sound, just held my waist, and gently guided me to pass when I was about to hit the tree.

In this way, I was like a blind man, and after walking for a long time, I heard Lao Lu exclaim: "Damn, it's really out." ”

I opened my eyes suddenly, but what I saw was not the dazzling sunlight I imagined, but still a gloomy and corrupt atmosphere, only to see a mountain cliff nearly a thousand feet high was blocking the two of us, the mountain wall was mossy patches, the branches and willows were disorderly, and a rich and damp breath came to my nose, and the fairy mountains and ghost caves in Journey to the West were like this. What's even more strange is that just under the wall of this wild mountain, among the grass and branches, there is a villa.

There's someone here! When I saw the modern architecture, I couldn't help but feel relieved, but my heart immediately lifted again.

Wrong!

How can there be villas in such a spooky place? Could it be that it's a yin house?

I have heard that there are many people because of the price of the cemetery, or buy or rent an empty civil building, used to store the ashes of the deceased, this kind of house is generally located in a very remote location, one is cheap, the other is the neighborhood is clean, burning paper incense no one bother, this is the so-called Yin house, of course, rich people may build this Yin house a little bigger, like this villa, there is no kind of Yin house built by a large amount of money.

Thinking of this, I suddenly became interested, and suddenly had the urge to go in and have a look, I knew that Lao Lu was timid, so I didn't dare to tell him the idea of the Yin House, so I coaxed him to go inside to see what treasures there were, Lao Lu trusted me very much, and decided to go in to find out.

When we got closer, we found that the villa had been abandoned for a long time, with a crumbling fence around it and a rusty lock hanging from the large mottled iron door.

We looked in through the iron gate, only to see that the yard was overgrown with weeds, and the ground was almost invisible, and the style of the villa inside should be Japanese-style, decent, and there was a dilapidated lookout tower in the corner of the courtyard.

"Can there be villas in this place? Which big money is burnt up, there is no place to spend the money, right? Lao Lu poked his head, a big face squeezed between the iron fences, and his rosacea nose was squeezed out of shape.

The more I looked, the more I wondered, looking at the construction of this villa, this is not like a yin house, this door and window, courtyard, and tower are all available, and no yin house will be built so perfectly.

And look at this dilapidated appearance, it should have been abandoned for decades, where would anyone let their own yin house be so dilapidated, according to feng shui, people say that there is green smoke on the ancestral tomb, and they will never let the grass grow on the ancestral tomb, this dilapidated like this, the descendants will not be much better.

However, if it is self-confidence, then who can build a villa in such a remote place? You say that this is a monster cave, I believe it, it is impossible to live in people. The mountains are too quiet, the forests are dense, the sunlight can hardly shine in, here is the shade, there is not even a decent road except the dense forest, this is far away from the people's residences, the surrounding is barren and populated, is it for ghosts to build villas here?

"Why don't you go in and have a look?" I was suddenly curious and couldn't wait to go inside and find out.

"There must be snakes in this place, and they are all poisonous snakes, if you bite it, we will be finished." Lao Lu was a little scared.

"The older you are, the less courageous you are, who said you were going to go up the mountain to fight tigers just now? I'll go in first, and you'll go back. "I broke a trunk the size of my forearm from the trunk of a tree on the side, flipped it vertically, and jumped lightly into the courtyard.

As soon as my feet hit the ground, I hurriedly swept the army on the ground with a branch, just now I bragged that my face was not red and my heart was not beating, but I jumped in and found that the weeds in this yard were not as good as my calves, and I stepped on it, and my feet were soft, I really didn't know what I could step on, and I kept sweeping the grass, for fear of a snake.

Lao Lu rubbed outside for a long time, and also jumped in, although his skills were a little worse, but fortunately, someone was brave and brave, so he and Lao Lu went in to find out!

The two of us swept all the way to the front of the villa, the walls of the villa were mottled, the doors and windows were broken, the two doors had already rotted and collapsed when touched, the few remaining pieces of glass on the doors and windows were covered with a thick layer of dust, and the others were smashed by stones in a few holes. Fortunately, there are these holes to let in a glimmer of light, and with these few rays of light, Lao Lu and I cautiously walked into the house.

"Huh", as soon as I entered the house, I covered my nose violently, and the smell of old rot in the room made me want to sneeze.

Inside the villa is a small living room, with a room on each side, a wooden staircase with a layer of dust, and the whole room is filled with a damp and rotten smell, like a piece of rotten wood covered with dog pee, this villa feels very depressing, like entering a grave.

I covered my nose and looked up and down, left and right, this villa is not high, and there are a few broken tables and chairs in the living room, which have long been out of shape. The walls had long since become mildew and blackened, and the dilapidated house was not even as good as the bridge and hole where the homeless man lived temporarily.

We walked around the first floor and found nothing but some dead mice. We saw a staircase on the side, so we groped our way upstairs, and the upstairs was covered with cobwebs, some wooden beds, old furniture with cabinets, and most of them lacked legs, missing doors, and a few wires exposed on the walls, and even the switches and sockets were removed. The two of us turned around and found nothing, and the mood full of exploration just now was also a lot lost, but I was more and more sure that looking at this furnishing, there were people living here, and this was by no means a yin house.

Lao Lu looked around, and was no longer afraid, he took out his cigarette, leaned on the balcony on the second floor, and lit it leisurely, but he smoked it, but he suddenly stopped moving.

"What do you want?" I walked over and asked.

"Build a balcony here, what do you think you can see? Look at dog pee? Lao Lu took a puff of smoke rings and pointed forward with his hand to let out a burst of mockery.

I looked out, and I couldn't help but be stunned, I didn't pay attention to the house just now, but I just felt that the woods here were dense, so the light was blocked, and the house was naturally dim. But now, this villa is built on the mountain, the villa is almost close to the mountain wall, and this balcony is almost within reach of the opposite mountain wall, but what kind of balcony is there to build in this way? Could it be that you have to count ants?

I looked up and down, and saw a lot of rubble scattered among the weeds on the ground below, as if it had fallen from the hillside, but when I looked at it, I found a problem, the mountain wall was like a knife, as if it were standing vertically on the ground.

I took a closer look from top to bottom and found that this mountain wall is almost perpendicular to the ground, and such a dangerous wall can only produce such a spectacle by strong crustal movement, except for the sandstone area with great winds, such as Huashan, but when has there been such a large earthquake in Heilongjiang that can cause such a mountain?

The more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, this villa was so weird, I told Lao Lu to run downstairs, but just two steps, my feet sank, and one of my feet actually stuck into the floor.

I ran downstairs a little hurried just now, so I may have a little more force, but with the strength of such a step, I can actually break the floor?

I tried to stomp my feet in another place, and sure enough, when I stepped on a pit, the floor was rotten and pitifully thin, and after a while, he kicked the floor of the house like a whack-a-mole hole, full of holes.

Underneath, there was no foundation, no cement reinforcement, and there was all dirt underneath. I froze, what kind of house is this? It was covered directly on top of the soil?

If this place is really for people to live in, it can only be dead people, and this place is like a tomb.

The more I stayed, the more uncomfortable I became, and I pulled Lao Lu straight to the backyard, I was upstairs just now, and I saw that the mountain was wrong, and picked up the stones on the ground to inspect them one by one.

Lao Lu saw that I was looking carefully, and asked me repeatedly: "What's the matter, is this a gold mine?" ”

I looked up at him and said, "This stone is flat and sharp, like a knife has been cut, and it is not weathered at all, it has been chiseled by man." ”

Lao Lu also picked up several stones from the ground one after another, all of them were like this, the section was smooth and smooth, as if they were hard planed down with tools, Lao Lu took a stick and played with the grass at the foot of the mountain for a while, except for the stones in it, it was mountain soil, and there was nothing abnormal.

I thought about it, took Lao Lu's stick, and drilled hard to the ground, this place is damp in the shade, the soil is extremely soft, I am not difficult to drill, the half-meter-long wooden stick is less than half, and I can't drill, with the feel, I feel that I have drilled to a hard thing. Lao Lu and I used sticks to dig up the stones and soil on the side, and gradually cleared an area, and the situation below gradually appeared in front of us.

A big cement slab appeared on the ground!

"This mountain has been dug up!" Lao Lu and I looked at each other.

I struck the cement slab with a stick, presumably its thickness and hardness were beyond our capabilities, and with this stick in our hands, it was a fool's dream for us to open it. What's more, we don't even know how thick and wide this cement slab is.

This place was cold, and we tossed for a long time, but there was not a drop of sweat on our bodies, so we had to give up.

We walked to the courtyard and took a look at the watchtower at the corner of the courtyard, a cylindrical building, a bit of European medieval style, about 20 meters high, with a ring raised at the top, and a lookout window on all sides.

"Let's go up there and have a look." Then he couldn't help but say, he should first carry the snake beating stick and take the lead.

The staircase of the tower was narrow, but it was made entirely of concrete, so it was old but not decaying. Looking up from below, the tower has 4 floors, there is a gate at the bottom, inside is used as a warehouse, it should be put some tools, I thought about it, I didn't dare to open, this gate looks like no one has touched for decades, I always feel that as soon as I open the door, there will be some monsters coming out of it, even if it is not a monster, in case it is a snake nest, then my legs must be scared weak.

We walked up the stairs, picking through the thick cobwebs, and walked up step by step, and at the top of the tower there was a small house for human habitation, which was also dusty, except for a wooden bed, which was covered with dust.

The top of the tower is transparent on all sides, with six windows to see in all directions, and when you stand on it, you can see the surrounding trees and meadows, and the smoke of a village rising in the distance, but the view is excellent.

I was looking into the distance, but I didn't think about it, I just heard a bang behind me, Lao Lu exclaimed, in this kind of desolate and evil place, a little wind and grass will make us startled, Lao Lu's exclamation almost scared me out of trouble. As soon as I turned around, it turned out that Lao Lu had kicked something while walking, and he was standing in the middle in shock. The two of us looked down and saw that it was a bottle of Wahaha mineral water, with an advertisement endorsed by Wang Leehom on it.

I laugh at the older the old Lu people, the more timid they are, and a bottle of mineral water can scare like this.

Suddenly, a lightning bolt appeared in my mind, this tower has been abandoned for decades, how can there be mineral water endorsed by Wang Leehom!

I walked over slowly, carefully pinching the cap of the bottle and standing the mineral water on the floor, there was still half a bottle of water inside, and there were five fingerprints on the dusty bottle.

This seemingly abandoned tower, someone has been here!

Lao Lu and I glanced at each other, our eyes full of doubts.

Could it be that this place is used as a stronghold, and there are some homeless homeless people living here? Or are some wanted criminals hiding here, what are they going to do illegally?

At this moment, there seemed to be a rush of footsteps downstairs from downstairs, knock knock! The footsteps were so fast that they seemed to be running out desperately.

Someone!

Lao Lu and I glanced at each other, and quickly got up and went downstairs. Strange to say, as soon as we rushed down the stairs with our front feet, I heard a crisp sound on the top of the tower, and when I looked back, the bottle of mineral water that I had just stood on the floor was gone!
