The brass lantern led the way in front of me, and I would go with the lamp. Once I couldn't keep up with the speed, the lantern would stop and wait. Looking at the direction, I was running towards the gate of the factory. I didn't know where the lantern would take me.
Grandpa's voice said, "you can't raise chickens here?"
I said, "this is a power station, not a chicken farm. There must be no chickens."
Grandpa's voice said: "that's a pity. There are no villages around. There should be chickens in the village."
I said, "the nearest village is seven or eight miles away."
Grandpa's voice said: "you follow the lantern, it doesn't go, you stay there until dawn."
I said, "although it's almost autumn now, it's very cold on the mountain. If you stay outside for one night, you must be frozen stiff."
Grandpa's voice said: "there is no way. If there is a rooster, it can create a situation in advance. The rooster crows three times and the ghosts change. If there is no rooster, it can only endure."
I asked, "there is no other way."
Grandpa's voice said, "No."
I saw the surrounding mountains towering, the shadows of trees whirling, the shadows flickering, like ghosts, and my heart began to hair. In addition, there are many ghosts around, and in the distance, colleagues like walking corpses are dragging their feet to chase me. It is really like waiting for death to stay here.
At this moment, there was a cold hum and a puff in the dark. The light on the mobile phone went dark and the video disappeared. Although the video of my grandfather who died for eight years made me afraid, at least it was a family member, and my heart naturally became dependent. The video disappeared and my grandfather's voice disappeared. The rustling around me really makes people despair.
The lantern was parked outside the security room at the door. I was so upset that I went to the security room first. At least I could stop it for a while. Pushing the door in, I met the green eyes of two security guards on night shift. My mother gave a strange cry and turned around and ran away.
After running for a few steps, I bumped into a colleague in the indomitable bureau who was catching up with me. I couldn't get away from the two ends. Shrink in the corner of the iron gate, with the dagger across the chest, close your eyes and wait for death.
After waiting for a long time, I could hear the dense and heavy breathing, but no one rushed to kill me. I opened my eyes bravely and saw more than 20 colleagues surrounded me in a semicircle, staring at me, eager to try, but afraid to rush up.
After a while, I saw the doorway. The lantern was three meters away. As long as anyone took a step forward, the lantern would block him. The man immediately stepped back like a ghost.
I knew right away that they were afraid of lanterns.
Thanks to this lantern, the colleagues in the Bureau dare not come forward. I don't know where this lantern came from. As long as the lantern stays on, I should be safe.
There was a standoff for half an hour. I heard someone behind me saying, "Xiao Yan, I don't sleep in the middle of the night. Why are you running to the gate?"
My heart was suddenly relaxed, my nose was sour, and I almost shed tears. That voice is not someone else, it is our boss, Lu Yanqin, stationmaster.
I said wrongfully, "you finally came back. I almost died."
Lu Yanqin said gently, "I know. I'm not back now. Don't be afraid. I'm here. Open the door and go back to bed first. I'll talk about anything tomorrow."
I said, "I can't go. They are around me."
Lu Yanqin said, "what are you talking about? Who is around you? Are you sleepwalking?"
My heart says that there are more than 20 people. Can't you see them. He was about to turn his head to see if Lu Yanqin was joking. At the critical moment, he suddenly thought of an incident, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.
No, it's wrong. It's not the station master outside.
I asked, "boss, why are you here now?"
Lu Yanqin said: "Jiang Tian called me and told me that something strange had happened at the power station. I came up overnight."
I asked, "why didn't you call me? I asked someone to pick you up."
Lu Yanqin said: "I called you, but you didn't answer. I thought something had happened again."
I continued to ask, "how did you get up?"
Lu Yanqin said: "how else can I get up? The general factory sent a car to send me up. The road collapsed and the car turned around (meaning to go back). I walked up."
I heard what he said was reasonable and began to struggle again. I'm easy to get entangled.
Lu Yanqin said, "if you ask questions, open the door."
Although there was still doubt, he was really the station master, so under the protection of the lantern, he went to the security room and took the key to open the door. Lu Yanqin came in and stretched out his hand to pull me. "Let's go back to bed first. We'll talk about tomorrow."
I was unprepared, but the lantern suddenly rushed in front of us. Lu Yanqin was startled. He stepped back seven or eight steps and said in horror, "what the hell is this?"
I thought again: "you are not the boss."
Lu Yanqin said, "what are you talking about? I'm not your boss. Who is it?"
I said, "I don't know who you are, but I'm sure you're not my boss.".
Lu Yanqin said, "are you sleepwalking and dreaming? Go back to sleep."
I said, "if you are my boss, tell me why you went down the mountain."
Lu Yanqin said: "what else can we do? Go to help investigate the matter of Li Youdun."
I asked, "how is the matter settled?"
Lu Yanqin said: "Li Youdun's body was transported back to their hometown for cremation. The company paid a million yuan to his family, so the accident was settled and everything was settled."
I shouted, "you are definitely not Lu Yanqin, the station master."
Lu Yanqin asked: "are you scared silly? Why am I not your webmaster?"
I said: "because the webmaster never explained anything to me. If you were him, I asked how the solution was. He would only say one word and it was all solved. You wait for the company documents."
Lu Yanqin was stunned and suddenly grinned. The extent of the crack exceeded the limit of the human body, and it was all cracked to the ear: "you are very alert, but there is no use for eggs."
I said, "you are afraid of my lamp, I am not afraid of you. Who are you?"
Lu Yanqin said: "it doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you have no chance."
I asked, "why don't you have a chance?"
Without answering, he suddenly said, "you don't even know what this lantern is. Do you think there is still a chance?"
"What kind of lamp is it?" I asked subconsciously
Lu Yanqin grinned strangely like a ghost crying. Every time he smiled, the lantern dimmed. When he finished laughing, the lantern was only the size of a bean. Our colleagues in the bureau have narrowed the encirclement by a lot.
I'm so confused that I don't know what to do. At ordinary work, I can think of ways to solve anything. Now, there is nothing I can do about it. This feeling is very uncomfortable.
I don't know what's waiting for me after the lights go out, but I know it's definitely not a good thing.
At this time, the sound of blowing and beating went from far to near. After a while, I came to the door. I unconsciously looked back. A palm clapped on my shoulder, and a gloomy voice behind me said, "you're looking back."
The horse lamp light the size of a soybean jumped twice and went out with a puff. Then I fell into the darkness. At the moment when the lights went out, I saw the true face of the blowing Tinker.
It was a funeral procession.
At the front of the procession was he Yimin, who was pale and stiff. He held a Sheng Zi (Sheng Dou, a measuring tool used by people in the past) in his arms, The Shengzi was filled with millet, and three branches of incense were inserted in it, and few were burning. Wen mu, who followed him, was holding a tablet. I didn't have time to read what was written on the tablet. Behind him, my colleague, Jiang Tian, was holding a black-and-white photo, but could not see his face clearly.
Behind the river is Zhang Gongjin, who is tall and strong. He holds the year-old bamboo in his hands (the year-old bamboo is a kind of sacrificial thing. It is cut into strips by two bamboos. The deceased is as old as he is. Only half of the bamboo is cut, and then the strips are wrapped and torn into serrated white paper strips. Then the two strips of bamboo are cross woven, and the bamboo tube at the lower end can be held. After the old man goes up the mountain (is buried), the year-old bamboo is inserted in front of the grave), follow in sb.'s footsteps. After that, eight faint little ghosts came with a coffin.
My eyes were black and I could see nothing. I felt my hands and feet lift me up, and then there was the sound of opening the coffin. Those people carried me and prepared to put it in the coffin. I was anxious, but I couldn't move. This kind of feeling is very similar to the ghost press. It's like a mirror in my heart, but I can't move.
I smiled bitterly. In the end, I could not escape being buried alive.
When the coffin is pushed up from the foot, as long as it is pushed on the top of the head, completely covered, and then nailed with copper nails, it is completely buried alive.
I can't say what I think at the moment, but I'm not at all alarmed. Maybe it's the end of death. It's useless to know how to struggle. It's a bit like giving in to one's fate.
At this time, I heard someone speak, but I didn't hear clearly, but it was better than the sound of nature.
I calmed down and listened to the man say, "you turtle didn't sleep in the middle of the night, and you were all his mother?"
Then I heard the sound of something pulling on my skull.
Then he heard Lu Yanqin shouting with surprise and anger: "who are you? Why would you..."
I heard a crack, and then heard the man say, "if you turtle squiggles again, believe it or not, I'll take dozens of mouths out of your turtle."
Lu Yanqin said bitterly: "good, good, you are bad for me. This matter is not over. Let's wait and see."
Follow the footsteps and flee.
I heard that the speaker was Lin Jiji. Isn't he in the situation of being indomitable? Why is he all right?
At this time, it was obviously not the time to think about these things. He struggled to climb out of the coffin.
Lin Jiji's voice came from his head: "don't move, you tortoise are running around in the middle of the night. You have nothing to find."
I said, "I don't know. I don't understand what happened. You pull me and get me out."
Lin Jiji said: "you're all lying in the coffin, and one foot has entered the gate of death. If you come out like this, that guy will find you later."
I was anxious: "what should I do?"
Lin Jiji said, "don't worry. Put on these shoes first."
He handed me a pair of cloth shoes and asked me to put them on in the coffin before coming out.
I asked, "why do you wear cloth shoes?"
Lin Jiji said: "you have entered the gate of hell. Those guys in the underworld have long regarded you as the same kind. These shoes are male shoes. When you wear them, the guys in the underworld will know that you entered the gate carelessly. Go back to the road of the underworld, and the underworld will not pester you any more."
I put on my shoes in the coffin as he told me. The coffin is narrow, and it's really difficult to operate. But after touching it, I still put it on.
Then I heard Lin Jiji say: "people in the Yang world walk on the path of the Yang world, while people in the Yin world walk on the path of the Yin world. Heaven and earth have been settled long ago, and Yin and Yang have been clearly separated. People in the Yin world should not be entangled any more."
After reading these words, I don't know what gesture he made. He pulled me out of the coffin.
As soon as I came out, I felt the light glare. When you look around, you can see that the gate of the factory is located in the atrium of the living building. A small wooden box in the shape of a coffin was placed on the table tennis table next to me, and my colleagues fell down in all directions.
I asked, "what happened? Didn't I run to the gate?"
Lin Jiji said: "you turtle are dreaming? You haven't been out here from beginning to end. Has your ghost gone to the gate?"
I felt a chill. I looked down and saw that my left leg was wet and completely wet. I remembered what my grandfather said. If I go any further, I will fall into the river. Ask Lin Jiji: "how did my trouser legs get wet?"
Lin Jiji pointed at the door of the canteen. I don't know when there was a water tank filled with water.
He said: "your turtle is full and full. You have to jump into the water tank if you have nothing to do. You think you are a king. You can't live without water?"
I have nothing to say. Pointing to his colleagues on the ground, he asked, "are they all right?".
Lin Jiji said, "what can I do?"
I said, "let's carry them back."
Lin Jiji said angrily: "take a hammer, the chicken crows three times, and the ghost changes. Then they will walk back by themselves."
I am half convinced, but Lin Jiji saved my life just now. I know he has special skills and I have to believe him.
I threw the wooden box coffin and a series of funeral things into the river. I was not in the mood to sleep. I set a stool on the second floor and stared at them.
Lin Jiji went back to bed on his own.
When the chicken crowed three times, the colleague lying on the ground really got up in a daze. He walked back in a sleepwalk and fell asleep.
Now I found something abnormal.
