Chapter 45: The Poltergeist
This duck row hunting cannon is an old antique, from time to time malfunction, this time also should be Ding Si-Tian life should not be killed, the sound of the gun will save her life, although the old sheepskin worried about the musket to hit Ding Si-Tian, when shooting the muzzle of the gun raised a lot, and this cannon has long gone out of the lethality of the fire, but the sound of the spitting fire of the smoke is amazing, strangled Ding Si-Tian’s brocade scaled snail by the cannon was shocked, let go of Ding Si-Tian speed backward, but it is panicked, but it does not know the direction in the middle of panic. In the middle of the panic, it did not recognize the direction, headlong into the furnace door open incinerator, I just rushed to the front, with the back of the furnace door, and then pulled on the iron bolt.
Four people after the robbery, huffing and puffing who can not speak, a stop I feel the whole body ice bright, only then noticed that the clothes are fast being sweat through, I do not know is shocked out of the cold sweat, or hot sweat flowing in the fight, stopping a stop, I and the fat man, DingShiShuang trio a little bit of shock, violent heartbeat and heavy breathing finally slowed down, the only old sheepskin one hand holding up the torch, one hand end of the hunting cannon, bared his teeth! The only one who didn’t move was the old sheepskin with the torch in one hand and the hunting cannon in the other, grinning with his teeth bared.
The fat man went over to pull Ding Sisiang up first, to see that she was not injured, and then rest assured, and went over to the old sheepskin on the shoulders of a pat: “line ah old man, worthy of being a poor peasant.” The old sheepskin was patted by him and sat on the ground, full of bewilderment, seemingly not believing that he had just saved Tinsel.
Once again was put into the incinerator of the broodscale fly hit several times, but the furnace door is half a meter thick, any of its strength again can not come out, but I still do not dare to slow down, tightly pressed the iron bolt of the furnace door did not let go of my hand, because I clearly remember, just now, when the torches are all extinguished and no light, someone opens the door of the furnace, that is, in addition to me, Ting Si-Shiang, Fatty, the old sheepskin in addition to the fifth person, it is this hidden It is this hidden guy who released the Golden Scale Flycatcher, if this happens again, I’m afraid we won’t be as lucky as we were just now, it seems that there must be something else hiding in the building, and he is determined not to let us walk out alive, if we can’t find this guy out as soon as possible, we have no chance of survival this time.
I know that the incineration room must hide these what, not to find it out we have more trouble, so after the back of the top of the incinerator door, the underground incineration room with the eyes swept over, but Ding Si sweet and other people in the hands of the torch light is not enough, the basement of the far end and all the corners of the basement is still dark, the more you can’t see clearly in the darkness in the darkness in the end there is something, the more uneasy in the heart, that time there is no secret claustrophobia so say, but we have to do something. Phobia so say, but the four of us is really in this concrete coffin stayed enough, especially in this building there are some indefinable weird phenomena, a little careful thought, the heart will feel hairy.
Fatty came up with the idea and said, “You guys block the furnace door at the bottom, I’ll go up to the second floor to throw the torch into the incinerator and burn that son of a bitch brocade scale flycatcher to death, lest it come out to play rogue again.”
I nodded my head and agreed, no matter what, if we don’t burn it to death, there is no way to climb out of the flue, but Ding Sistern stopped us and said, “Don’t burn it, the fire in the furnace is so big that even the ash won’t be left after it burns, there are two treasures on the Brocade Scale Flycatcher, the Ruyi Hook on the tailbone, and the Diversion Pearls on the skull, which is said to be a precious medicinal herb that can bring the dead back to life, and I am afraid that we won’t be able to get our cows and horses back. It’s already hard to recover the loss, but if we can bring these two things back, we might be exempted from the responsibility.”
Fatty and I doubt if the bones are really that valuable, but it is better than going back empty-handed, as for how to catch the quail, Ding Sishen had heard his father will be, the brocade scale quail likes to hang out in the trees, the top of the tower, and other terrain is very high, there must be a “Goddess of Mercy Vine” in the vicinity of the Guanyin Vine, only with the Goddess of Mercy Vine in order to kill it, I do not know whether there is such a plant near the left side of the building, and if we find it, we can not find it, so we have to find it, and we will not be able to find it. I don’t know if there is such a plant near this building. If I can’t find it, I will try to leave here first and bring more people back to capture it.
I have decided that this matter is not feasible, said to Ding Si-Tian: “No, when the break is not constant, there will be trouble, we must burn it now, this thing comes and goes like the wind, people can not block, in case it drills out from the incinerator, we should really go to see Marx, in addition to the building in addition to the flue and where are the rest of the exits can be out of the building? ” In fact, there is the most important point, this building in all likelihood is haunted ghost building, and through a series of events experienced tonight, can see the building of the ghosts absolutely want to put us to death, from the air quality in the basement, the incinerator room exit at the iron gates, did not see is always closed, maybe the same is we enter the building before being closed, now there are a few torches lighting is okay, once you can burn The things that can be burned are burned out, the undead in the building and then open the incinerator, then it is really a fucking graveyard knife, to scare people to death.
This concern I really do not want to speak out directly to Ding Si-Tian and others, because now the mental pressure of the group almost to the limit, but even if I do not say, the rest of the people at this time can think of the advantages and disadvantages of it, and then canceled the intention to kill the hook to take Ruyi Hooks, in the current difficult situation, the only first to do everything possible to survive is the primary problem, to stay in the green hills, not afraid of no firewood.
I let the fat man take the torch to the second floor, and let Ding Si-Shuang also follow to do a reception, after lighting the fire immediately back to the basement to join us, the fat man and found dropped on the ground KangXi knife inserted in the belt, holding a torch grinning towards the stairway.
Ding Sishen also followed, but the two just raised their feet, in front of me, Ding Sishen suddenly changed color, stretched out two hands, the fat man and I from the front of the incinerator yanked away, my heart strange, just want to ask her to drag me to do what? But a turn of the eye, this sudden situation has been clear, the original incinerator door gap, is emerging from the yellow fog, mallow scale can be spit poison at noon and two o’clock, at this time may happen to be the night time, this poisonous miasma and fierce and thick, in the basement of this environment without air circulation cohesion does not disperse, the furnace and the staircase is not far away from each other, in an instant have been covered by the poisonous smoke.
I see the yellow fog is so thick that it seems to melt, suddenly remembered that just in this incineration room changed clothes, incinerator’s clothes are pants protective clothing, hat has a simple filter mask, can prevent being smoked by soot body odor smoked choking, because at that time the clothing is a very important property, less than ten thousand won’t be discarded, so the fat man and other people didn’t change clothes, and hanging in the corner of the basement, only two sets of protective clothing, the other set of protective clothing hanging on the stairway has been in the basement, the other set of protective clothing, the other set of protective clothing, the other set of protective clothing has been hanging on the stairway has been in the basement. The other set hanging in the stairway has been obscured by the poisonous gas.
I thought that now only I put on the filter mask to break through the poisonous fog to the second floor to set fire to, but a touch of clothes in the heart immediately cooled half, the original in the melee with the brocade scale quail crawling and rolling is very intense, hanging in the protective clothing on the filter masks have long been off, have long been nowhere to go.
Quail poison go five senses through the seven orifices, toxicity than the snake venom is even more, see the exit was blocked by the poisonous fog, I know that the situation is gone, with the remaining three people with their hands over their mouths and noses, and quickly retreated to the far end of the incineration room, such a practice I suspect that is to quench the thirst of hemlock, the more I retreated away from the staircase, the farther away.
The basement is not ventilated, although the fog formed by the poison from the incinerator, most of it condensed near the door of the incinerator, and the speed of spreading to the depths of the incinerator room gradually slowed down, but the poisonous fog is still gradually approaching us.
In the depressing basement, there is no way to go up to the sky, no door to enter the ground, the oxygen in the room is getting less and less, the flames of the torches are getting dimmer, the four of us have no choice but to keep retreating to the corners of the wall, the fat man suddenly remembered something, and ventured to Ting Si-Shuang, “I say Si-Shuang, before we go to see Marx, I still have something I didn’t have the time to ask you about it. with you to further sublimate our pure revolutionary friendship?”
Ding Si-Tian behind us, in the darkness I can not see her color, I do not know she was asked about this matter in this desperate situation, is afraid or blush, think of the imminent submission to death in this gloomy incinerator room, I also look forward to dying to hear Ding Si-Tian’s heart, but Ding Si-Tian said to us: “I …… water …… you guys look at the sewage coming out of the pipe!”
Her voice and shocked and happy, as if in the darkness to see a ray of light, the old sheepskin held up a torch to the place where she said a light, it turned out that we do not know, retreated to the corner of the wall laying pipe place, by the brocade scales � hit the cracked pipe, outflow of a lot of sewage, this time has been dripped out, the ground is still accumulated a lot of black water, the accumulation of water at the place of more than a dozen small vortexes, the water indoors are seeping down from here, because of the drainage As the drainage holes have not been dredged for many years, the sewage seeps very slowly, if not for the rupture of the water pipes, it is difficult to notice its existence.
We see a gutter, it is like grabbing a straw, fat man reached out in the sewage a touch, happy: “not like a floor drain, is a fucking iron cover, I try to give it to open ……”.
I see the poison is approaching, a moment can not be delayed, then urged the fat man to do it quickly, the fat man to the iron cover of those drainage holes on the sludge pick off, reach into the fingers to go with the inside of the upward drag, his two bladder force, and vigorously upward tugging a few tugs, the iron cover with the same as the root of the texture does not move.
The yellowish � poison such as smoke like fog, we are located in a few moments will be covered by poisonous fog, and now have begun to feel breathing difficulties, chest blood rolling want to open their mouths to vomit, looking at a sewer, but no matter how to escape into, anxious people stomped their feet again and again, I have a bright idea, remembered that the building is covered with strange, all the portals and passages are either sealed, or outward open, with the incinerator’s lid, as well. Could it be that the sewers are the same?
Dingsi sweet also thought of a place with me, her slender fingers, can reach into the drainage holes, so quickly crouched down to reach out and fumble, and indeed through the drainage holes to touch the inner side of a horizontal inserted pin, although rust, but still some loose, she could not care about her fingers were rubbed off the pain of the skin and flesh, and even tugged a couple of times, and finally will be the bolt ripped off, both sides of the drainage iron cover fell at once.
Drainage cover is a very deep drainage ditch, are connected with a large cement pipe, where do we still care about the inside of the damp and smelly, instantly fish into the height of the drainage ditch is nearly two meters more than a little, I was the last one to jump down, splashed all over the stinking water, want to open the drainage cover closed, but just now in the confusion, draw down the iron bolts have not known to be thrown by the Ding Sisian where to go, I am not too willing to do it, but in the old sheepskin and other people urged to do it. I am not too willing, but in the old sheepskin and other people’s urging, so I have to do it.
Underground waterway in the sewage is not too much, but the bottom of the cement pipe is a layer of black stinking mud, extremely muddy, there are many tide insects were scared, crawling back and forth quickly, the environment is harsh, but after all, there is still a movement of the water flow, there is no fatal methane gas, it is just easy to be slipped by the mud, the waterway can not be seen at the ends of the head, but also can not distinguish the direction, according to the said that this is close to the land of Desert North, the water is scarce, why is the abandoned for many years in the concrete pipe? Why abandoned for many years in the cement pipe and then drainage, this point is really puzzling people, had to stop thinking about it, now only take a step to see a step.
I pointed to the water on the crowd said: “I see all roads lead to Beijing, let’s just pick up one side of the road, no matter what, finally out of the building, even if I was in the sewer by the mud smoked to death, but also absolutely not go back to that ghost place.”
Although there is no absolute isolation measures between the sewer and the incinerator, but �toxicity has its limits after all, as long as the depth of the space is large enough, there is no need to worry about being poisoned, in the narrow concrete pipe, the four of us walk along the way, although the future is uncertain and unknown, but after all, it is far away from that incinerator full of grudges, and the pressure on our hearts is more or less alleviated, the fat man, the old sheepskin, and I can’t stop praising Tinsi Sweet, if it weren’t for her earlier Brave performance, the guys have to be poisoned to death, that kind of death is simply like the death of the Nazi gas chamber in the YouTai people, but not even a collector of corpses, it is really too miserable.
Tinseltown said, “My greatest admiration is the contemporary hero of the Soviet Union, Ostrovsky, I just hope that I can be like what he said, when a person looks back on the past, will not be wasted years and feel remorse, and will not be ashamed of doing nothing.”
Learning the accent of the recitation on the radio, I joked to Tinsel, “When I look back on the things of the past, I will not feel remorse for not having climbed out of the chimney of the incinerator, nor will I feel bungling for having burrowed through the stinking sewers.” Then squarely said to the crowd: “We go to the road is uncertain, I do not know what else will happen in front of us, everyone has to be cheered up, this ten thousand mile long march has just finished the first step ……”
Fatty followed my words and sighed: “The road ahead will be more tortuous, more difficult and longer ……” Ding Sishen said: “That’s why we have to economize on the revolution, it’s too much of a waste to light two torches, just use one, okay? ”
Dinsi sweet finished will be in the hands of the torch out, a total of only tied to the ten or so simple torch, now only four or five left, and each burning time is very limited, are counted may not be able to burn half an hour, really do not know whether it can hold out to climb out of the gutter when.
