Chapter 41 The Lone Lamp (above)
Four people gathered in front of the wall, see two layers of brick wall is not after the passage, can not help but are a little disappointed, but the guys want to see the wall buried in the end what is the thing, so with the KangXi treasure knife picked up the kerosene lamp to illuminate, this only to see that the original wall is buried in a large iron, cold and black, four people can not speak of the heart of the surprise, is it two layers of bricks behind the wall there is also a layer of iron wall?
I stretched out my hand to touch on it, my fingertips immediately touched a cold and heavy feeling, an ominous feeling of foreboding that my whole body has hit a jolting, I hastened to set my mind, and then carefully touched it, and found that this layer of the iron wall there are a few rows of raised text, to pick the lamp will be close to both eyes before you can see it clearly, the four of us took turns to look at the four of us, that’s not our Chinese characters, not numbers, and definitely not the kind of Japanese gibberish! It wasn’t our Chinese characters, it wasn’t numbers, and it definitely wasn’t Japanese gibberish or Japanese characters.
We were confused. The cast-iron wall seemed to be a layer of iron shell, and buried in the building, I don’t know how thick it was, what were the words on the iron? Perhaps if we could read them, we could unravel their secrets, but just at this moment, the kerosene lamp in our hands flickered twice, and then the lamp went out.
Kerosene lamp is extinguished, completely closed inside the building, immediately became out of sight, I and the remaining three companions, only breath to smell, in the darkness Ding Sishen touched my hand, I feel her fingers cold, know that she is afraid of hard, want to comfort her a few words, let her not worry.
But when I think of the people into this strange building, the sudden fall of the iron gate, the windows of the white manpower, as well as in front of this buried in the brick wall of the large iron, really can not think of any reassuring reason to tell her, these phenomena out of the ordinary what else can it mean? Obviously this is a “haunted building”, now want to disbelieve can not, but this sentence not only I do not want to say, I guess in this case, no one will be willing to listen.
I feel out of my pocket half a box of matches struck a light, in the absolute darkness of the environment, even if only a little light, will make people feel the existence of hope, I borrowed the light of the matches to look at the other three people, the group is still calm, matches are only two dozen, once run out there is no longer a source of light, so not until the necessary time to use.
The old sheepskin remembered that just saw the iron wall some writing, he is illiterate can not read a word of illiteracy, asked us: “that iron brick brick are printed on what ah? You are all intellectual youths sent by the President, can you recognize it?”
The match burned down to the root, and the surrounding area was once again plunged into boundless darkness, I threw away the match that had turned into ashes, and racked my brain to recreate the font that I had just seen in my mind, as if it was a foreign character code, as for foreign languages, we only learned some Russian, but it was only a half-assed level, and later on the Soviet Union repaired it, and even more so, it was completely deserted, but Dinsitian’s parents had once studied in the USSR, and she had a good level of Russian, but the foreign languages printed on the iron wall were only English and so on. The foreign language if English and so on, we will be completely no one to recognize, * years began some schools also teach English, but the content taught is not systematic, but directly learn some phrases, such as ten thousand lifetimes, long live ten thousand years, and so on, at that time, several of us are in the school did not open this course.
But Ding Si sweet but very sure that those are definitely not Russian, Russian some letters and English letters are more different, this point can still be seen, at that time when the Sino-Soviet relations were tense, the guys are very strong sense of war preparedness, a mention of foreign languages, and even suspected that this iron wall is loaded with bombs, but on second thought, but think about it, and then think that this kind of thing is unlikely.
Not the Soviet Union then it may be the U.S. empire, I used to have some home in the anti-U.S. battlefield to capture the U.S. military trophies, there are bottles of wine, cigarette cases, stainless steel spoons, a class of all sorts of objects, so my knowledge of the English language only stays in the degree of the “USA”.
Fatty had an idea: “At that time in World War II, Japan and Germany were allies, I think this could be German? It could also be American military supplies captured by the Japanese in the Pacific theater?”
I said to Fatty, “What kind of German do you recognize?” Fatty said, “We don’t recognize American writing either, so I think as long as it’s not Russian or Japanese, it doesn’t matter what country’s writing it is, we don’t recognize any of it anyway.”
Fatty’s words gave me some inspiration, but the Japanese built the building buried inside the iron block printed with foreign codes, what is this iron block used for? Why buried inside the brick wall? There is no clue at all, the more I think about it, the bigger my head.
At this time, Dinsi sweet said to me: “Use another match, okay? Let’s take another look.” I also want to do this, immediately came to the hole in the brick wall, pulled out a match to light up, with a hand close to the flame, to prevent this weak flame by the breath of the crowd blew out, the light appeared, the dark iron wall immediately reflected in the eyes convergence.
This time, although the light is weak, but the people look very carefully, finally have a discovery, just now only focus on looking at the strange characters on the iron plate, and did not notice that hidden behind the bricks of this iron wall, not the whole of the huge iron, but a can be pulled open the iron cover, like a low movable iron door, just due to the fat man raking down the brick wall, some of the bricks have not yet been dismantled, the iron cover edge of the gap is not completely Some of the bricks had not yet been removed, so the gaps at the edges of the iron cover were not completely exposed, and the handles that were cast into the cover were also blocked by some of the bricks.
This discovery made everyone’s breathing accelerate, the matches also went out at this time, the fat man groped the dark to remove the remaining bricks, Dinsi sweet asked me: “eighty-one, it turns out that this is a cover that can be opened and closed, as if the iron door, but if we say it’s a door, it may not be too small, people have to lie on their stomachs to get in, if it’s not an iron door what will it be used for?”
The old sheepskin interjected: “Si sweet you girl, how come you are so curious about these things? My old man has lived for most of his life, and I have never come across something so strange, I think this iron wall must not be a good place, otherwise how can it be hidden so tightly, and I am afraid that opening it will release the ghosts? Sinning, I do not know which way God God …… offended in his past life.”
I advised the old sheepskin that there are no ghosts in the world, mediocre people disturb themselves, although the things that happen in this building is strange, but I believe that everything has a root cause, only we only peep at a corner, did not get to see the whole picture, so the parties involved in the mystery, we can not be in Hades to play the good man – closed eyes waiting for death, and do not just put on a Marxist-Leninist garb, do that kind of open the door of the temple is not Burning incense, when things come to the end of the promise of pigs and goats stupid things, I see that begging the bodhisattva begging Buddha are not useful, later if you can open this iron cover, once something happens there are fat and I first top.
