Chapter 39: Fierce Iron (above)
Did not wait for me to lift my foot to kick the door, just look at the door on the two windows outside, he revealed two white hands, five fingers slowly scratching the glass, emitting ear-piercing friction sound, listening to people’s goosebumps, I raised half of the foot hard stop in front of the door, and heard the door of the building rusted hinges of a strange sound, the door was pushed slowly from the outside to open ……
Long full of rusty hinge leaf “creak new new” sound, the building door was pushed open from the outside, I never knew that the sound of opening the door will be so horrible, with the building door open, as if there is a basin with ice ballast of cold water, head splashed on my body, but through the building door has been opened the gap, can only see the building outside in the dark.
I still want to hard to see exactly who wants to push the door in, but behind the frame of the old sheepskin Ding Sishen and fat man first can not hold out, called out, “Retreat!” Said to help them began to retreat to the building, I lost the support behind me, and do not dare to show off in this continue to poke, carrying the dim kerosene lamp back to go, a lift foot only to feel both legs are soft.
The old saying “defeat is like a mountain falling”, without planning and organization of the rout and fleeing is terrible, although we although the few people although called retreat, but in fact, the fear is like a contagious disease infecting each other, can not restrain the heart beating wildly, the sanity of the panic as a headless fly in general, you pushed and squeezed to the depths of the building to retreat, and straight withdrawn to the corridor! At the end of the stairway, the position of the darkness almost hit the wall, which only stopped in their tracks.
I carried a kerosene lamp and looked at Fatty and Dinsitian, their faces were pale, completely can be described as colorless, I guess my face is not much better. This time is really scared, first of all, this building in the pattern of the weird, have to let a person produce the feeling of materialism. Nine times out of ten, this building is haunted. The worst thing is to go out without a black ass hoof.
The door of this building is very special, not like ordinary buildings located in the horizontal side, but opened in the narrow end of the rectangular building. Corridor on both sides of the room are bricked to death, directly opposite the door of the building of a corridor is very long, the end of the end is also bricked, the only option to get here is to walk up the stairs, the corridor around the corner of the staircase up and down, it seems that there is a basement in this building.
Stairs to the corridor are the same live, not blocked with a brick wall, just before the door of the building happened, so that we lost the sharpness of the moment do not dare to make the original way back to the door of the building plan. At this point, there are only two options left, go upstairs to the second floor, or downstairs into the basement.
As this building is too quiet, we are at the end of the corridor, can not hear any movement on the side of the iron gate, which is a sigh of relief, Ding Sishen pressed the chest on the air not press the bottom of the air, said: “First don’t panic, just now, who see what …… is what came in from the outside?”
Fatty said to Ding Sistern, “You still have the nerve to say it. Just now it wasn’t you who beat a retreat first. I haven’t seen clearly what is outside the door, I followed you guys to run in. I think this is the so-called fleeing from the wind, I can’t imagine that my whole life’s reputation has been ruined here.”
At this time the old sheepskin suddenly woke up from unconsciousness, he looked at himself was Ding Sistern and fat half drag half frame, and through the weak light of the steam lamp, I do not know where I am, the abdomen has to support the bloating difficult to endure, the side of the heart is still a little confused, busy asking me: “This black hole is what is where? Is it not in the Hall of Hades? I can’t imagine that my old man is on the verge of doing a ride …… with a few of you intellectuals.”
I explain a few sentences to the old sheepskin simple, suddenly heard a loud clang at the entrance of the building, shocked the walls of the building buzzing back, listen to the sound is the entrance of the building gate down, the windows of the building are furnished, if there is no other place to exit, that the iron gate is the only way to leave the channel.
All the people face like dirt, iron gate sound after the building and no movement, after a long time to come back to God, just focusing on running in, but did not think of the building entrance gate, once closed want to go out can be difficult to listen to the fat man cursed: “* his ancestors eight generations, this is want to put us in confinement, alive smothered in this building ah, this is also too evil, do not let me know who is Do not let me know who did it, let me know I fucking must put it down criticized stink not.”
The old sheepskin used to live in the Northwest kiln, and then to the grasslands to make a living living in the tent, never stayed in the reinforced concrete building, according to his words, feel this building like a white box, although he is not too clear about the situation, but listen to the fat man said so also guessed seven or eight points, but also can not stop sigh, back to the pastoral area, although it is inevitable to be beaten by the fight to be criticized, but it’s always better than starving to death in this stone box.
Ding Si sweet said to me: “Who actually closed the gate, the world really have ghosts? If I had known just now we should have gotten up the courage to rush out.” The people talked about the current situation, some regretted, some complained, and some cursed, but none of them were useful.
I know that this building in the sun, shut in the inside of the longer, the psychological pressure is also the greater, and no water without food, and then do not want to find a way to get out, I’m afraid that really want to stay in this ghost building in the life, so I said to the crowd: “You first listen to me to say a few words, at present, our situation is really difficult, I think this is due to a series of mistakes since we are today, since the ancient times! The art of war has a saying, in the matter of noble defense, when the opportunity is noble decision, the sign of the plan is noble and dense. When encountering difficulties and changes, the most important thing is to be able to adhere to the consistent principles and guidelines, can not be shaken doubt and no confidence; in the encounter of opportunity must be decisive and resolute, can not be hesitant to retreat; in the deployment of the plan must be thorough and detailed, can not risk blindly. But looking back at our performance, these three points have not been able to do, but not through a thing, not long a wisdom, from now on want to turn passive into active, we must implement these three principles, as long as we are closely united, do not waver in the face of difficulties, do not retreat in the face of danger, modesty and caution, bold and careful, we can ultimately win over all the enemies and difficulties.”
These words or I used to listen to my father in the newspaper when reading the content of a head of speech, and now look at the group are almost into a scattered, will be these words will be said, perhaps this time need someone to stand out, perhaps these words do make sense, no matter what, anyway, it is quite useful, the crowd was I said, are calmed down a lot.
Old sheepskin asked me what to do now? I said: “This building’s rooms are brick cement sealed, but this is only a layer of the situation, the second floor, the third floor and the basement is what kind of, we do not know, if there is an underground passage or not blocked above the room, you can manage to leave, the key is that if once you meet what the situation is, don’t mess up your own feet.”
