Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Sensen Cave

In 1999, I muddle-headedly followed bastards into a boring and strange incident. I don't know whether it was our help or our luck.The son of Lao Tian, ​​Wang Ba's father's business partner, woke up from a coma. No matter what, Lao Tian and his wife are still grateful to me and bastard.When Lao Tian and his wife invited us to dinner, I found an excuse, dragged Wang Ba out of the bathroom, and asked Wang Ba falteringly, "Didn't it be agreed at the beginning that whoever woke up his son would have a big thank you. " As soon as Wang Ba heard it, he knocked on my head: "You were so scared that you peed your pants when you were helping out. Now you want the benefits."

I also got angry: "Damn, you rich people are like this, the richer you are, the more stingy you are, and it doesn't count if you clearly agreed." Wang Ba sighed: "Then tell me, what benefits do you want?" I scratched my head, thought for a while and said, "You have to pay me a few hundred dollars anyway." "Look at your potential." Wang Ba said disdainfully, "I have a classmate like you." "If you don't give it, you won't give it!" I yelled at Wang Ba: "Don't come to me if you have anything to do in the future."

"This Bill is poor and crazy." Just as a waiter passed by, Wang Ba pretended to be relaxed and said to her.The waiter covered his mouth and left. Back on the table again, I pouted my mouth with an impatient look on my face. Lao Tian's wife asked, "Xiao Xu, what's the matter with you, you just put a stern face when you come back from the bathroom." I was about to say that I want to spend money on cigarettes. Wang Ba twisted my thigh hard.I yelled in pain.I turned my head to Wang Ba and said, "If you don't want it, it doesn't mean I don't want to spread it. I'm not like you, I'm a rich man..."

Wang Ba pinched my arm again.It seems that bastard has some plans, so I shut up. Wang Ba toasted Lao Tian with a glass of wine, and said to Lao Tian, ​​"Madman and I were good friends back then, and we have been on good terms for so many years." That one is nice to you, I looked at the bastard in distaste, I lent you two hundred yuan, and I forced you for a year.It's better to be fucking full.What a fart! Wang Ba went on to say: "He is not satisfied with his job now, and wants to do a job that matches his major." It turns out that Wang Ba hid such a trick, it seems that I wrongly blamed him.

When Lao Tian heard this, he waved his hand, "I was just thinking about how to thank you and Xiao Xu. I didn't expect such a simple thing." Wang Ba said: "You help the lunatic change his job, he is now a security guard, and all the books he has read for more than ten years have been wasted." Lao Tian's wife said: "It's because we were stingy, and we discussed it before we came, and planned to give you and Xiao Xu 2,000 yuan. It's because you young people are good, and you can plan for the long-term. It made me feel embarrassed to give you the money... ..."

I was anxious when I heard this, and said in a panic: "I want to..." There was a sharp pain in my waist, and Wang Ba gave me a hard push with his elbow. I couldn't change my breath, so Wang Ba helped me to continue the conversation: "It's embarrassing for him to ask for money." After dinner, I said goodbye to the old couple, and I went to grab the bastard's ear, "Two thousand yuan... two thousand yuan, you should give me two thousand yuan." Wang Ba yelled "Get out!", stopped a taxi, and left by himself, leaving me alone on the road. What kind of bullshit friends are spreading, begging Lao Tzu like a grandson.It's useless, kick me away like cow shit.I couldn't get enough of it, so I found a phone booth, and next to the classmates I had a good relationship with, I was going to scold the bastard for his injustice.

It's a pity that the students were either working overtime or shopping with their girlfriends. When they called back, they scolded me for making a mistake.It's still a good relationship, and it's still a call back.Most never even returned their calls.I was walking on the street alone, and I was so angry that I kicked the trees on the side of the road desperately. Human feelings are warm and cold, and the world is hot and cold. Three months later, I was picked on by an unfamiliar phone number. I was fighting landlords in a shopping mall in Sanxia, ​​and I was losing badly.After losing the money, I went back to pick up the machine.It was a girl's voice, "Are you Xu Yunfeng?"

"Yes, what's the matter?" When I heard the voice was a girl, I regained my spirits. "I'm Dong Ling." No wonder the voice was so familiar, "Come to Room X, Building X, Gezhouba Hotel at eight o'clock tomorrow morning." I was overjoyed to hear that. Returning to the poker table, he said to his gamblers, "No matter who wins or loses today, I will invite you for supper tonight." All the gamblers are curious: "The iron cock has also plucked its feathers, what benefits have you encountered?" "There is a beautiful woman who offered to have a room with me." I was so proud, I couldn't tell that Dong Ling was lukewarm to me, she was on the surface, but in fact she had been interested in me for a long time.No way, who told me to be more handsome than Wang Ba.

The next day, I returned to the city excitedly, and went directly to Gezhouba Hotel to find Dong Ling.Didn't expect a roomful of people in the room.All young men and women.I was immediately discouraged. I saw Dong Ling sitting behind a boss's desk talking to those people one by one.I was too lazy to listen, so I sat outside to smoke.I wondered what this girl wanted me to do.It seems that you don't want to exchange feelings with me alone. Only a few people left before I walked up to Dong Ling. "Why are you here so late, do you have any sense of time?" Dong Ling saw me impatiently.

Before I can explain.Dong Ling threw a piece of paper over, "Fill out your resume." "What kind of resume should I fill out?" I couldn't figure it out. "Uncle Tian told me that you don't need an interview when you come to work. You will be admitted directly." "Where do you go to work and what class do you go to?" "Didn't you ask Uncle Tian to give you a job?" Dong Ling's eyes were full of contempt, "If you do something, you will get the benefits. Who is it..." "What, what, stop." It turned out to be like this, I became excited, "Is it true that Uncle Tian wants to give me two thousand yuan."

"Where did you say it went? Two thousand yuan." "If you don't give me money, why did you ask me to come here? No, did you swallow the money yourself?" "Neuropathy." "I'm a poor man, I'm waiting for the money to buy rice. You can do a good deed and give me the money." I really want to get two thousand dollars. I have never had so much money in my life. in hand. "I really admire you. Why does Brother Wang have a friend like you?" I'm fine if I don't mention the bastard, but when I mention him, I get angry: "Damn bastard, where is he, does he want you to play tricks on me? You must have divided the money." "Whether you fill in your resume or not, and whether you will go to work." Dong Ling didn't bother to explain to me: "Two thousand yuan is like a treasure, really capable..." "I'm at work right now. I have a class. Whether you will pay me or not is fine. Tell bastard that I want to break up with him." "Brother Wang is really blind. He even scolded you for helping you. I'll ask you again, do you want to go to work in Xiaoting's company?" "Why go to Xiaoting, I'm doing well as a security guard in Three Gorges." "Didn't you ask Uncle Qiutian that you wanted to do engineering? Didn't you and Brother Wang major in civil engineering at school?" It turns out that this is the case, and I understand it. It turns out that bastard arranged for me to be a technician. "I'm a security guard. I don't work hard, and I don't worry about it. I get paid steadily for a month. I'm a shitty technician. I won't go." "Don't push me down, seeing this kind of person every day makes me sick." Dong Ling shouted behind me: "Hey, you...you...applicants for clerks and accountants, come to the front." Several young and beautiful girls came up and pushed me aside. When I saw the situation, I quickly asked Dong Ling: "You're going to work there too, aren't you an intern in bastard's office?" "I'll be an intern at the firm for the rest of my life." Dong Ling said, "If you want to go, fill in your resume, and if you don't go, leave. Don't get in the way here." I thought about it, if such beautiful girls are going, I will lose a lot if I don't go, especially since Dong Ling is here, I have a great chance.It's been a long time.I don't believe that I can't understand Dong Ling. At the moment, I am excited to fill out my resume.Laughing while writing, it's great, I can work in the same company as Dong Ling, a beautiful sister, every day. Having said that, comrades, I would like to advise you, don’t become obsessed with sex, and when you have sex, you don’t care about anything.At that time, I was very happy and wanted to go to work in Xiaoting, but I didn't know that Xiaoting didn't know how troublesome and strange things were waiting for me. I cheerfully filled out my resume and gave it to Dong Ling. Dong Ling looked at it, and said disdainfully, "Are you and Brother Wang classmates?" "He is not a good bird, and he feels ashamed to be his classmate." Dong Ling said: "Although the XXXX college you attended is a junior college, you can still be regarded as a college student. A resume has only a hundred words in total, and you have more than a dozen typos." I scratched my head, speechless.Why the hell is she targeting me? Bastard was not the same as me back then, and it doesn't make sense to study.Judging by her tone, she seems to be looking forward to seeing bastards. Dong Ling said to me: "I'll give you two hours to go home and pack your things. Find a place to eat by yourself. It's half past twelve. Let's go." "Where are you going?" I was still asking stupidly. "Go to Xiaoting to work." Dong Ling said loudly, "It's in the mountains, tens of miles away, and it's hard to get out after entering. You bring a change of clothes and toiletries." I fainted as soon as I heard it, "Beauty, I haven't resigned yet, and my current identity is still the security guard of Sanxia XX shopping mall." "You call that work?" Dong Ling looked contemptuous. "You have to let me get this month's salary before resigning." "I don't have time to wait for you, you can figure it out. Anyway, your good brother will help you, right?" "Didn't you come in by virtue of connections, otherwise why would you become the director of the office as soon as you came in?" Sometimes I am very smart, and after a few words with Dong Ling, I knew that this company had something to do with Lao Tian. After leaving the Gezhouba Hotel, I had nowhere to go. My luggage was all in the Three Gorges, and it was impossible for me to go back and forth in just two hours.After thinking about it, he called Wang Ba. Wang Ba came by taxi and picked me up for lunch.I asked Wang Ba to borrow money.He also entrusted Wang Ba to go to Sanxia to help me pack my luggage, and see if I can get my salary back by the way. Wang Ba agreed.He readily agreed.So refreshing, there must be a problem.There must be something fucking bothering me. Sure enough, bastard said to me mysteriously: "We're at that construction site, keep your eyes sharp. If you come across something good, keep an eye out for me." "what is this." "What else can I be interested in, well, you know that, don't you?" "have no idea." "Why can't you figure it out." Wang Ba lost his patience: "There may be bones of something on that construction site, and someone has already picked it up. You should find that thing more easily than ordinary people. En." "How can there be these things on the construction site? Are you still digging the earth, then I can't help you, there are so many people digging the earth, once they dig out good things, don't everyone go up and grab them." "Didn't the damn girl Dong Ling tell you where the construction site is?" "Xiaoting." "Didn't tell you the exact location of Xiaoting? What is the construction site for? What are you going to do?" I shake my head. Wang Ba sighed and said to me: "This company is developing a karst cave now, and the cave needs to be paved and bridged. You go to be a technician." "Work as a civil engineering technician in the cave!" I squirted out all the rice noodles in my mouth. I flinched a bit, it was nothing else, I was just reading nonsense, and I knew some civil engineering techniques there, let alone working in such a special environment in a cave. "The salary is 600 a month, which is better than you being a security guard." I thought about it for a while, and decided to go. Money is one aspect, and the most important thing is, I think there are many beautiful girls who are also going to work. At twelve noon, I got into the car with Dong Ling to go to the construction site.The car drove towards Xiaoting, and when it arrived at the shipyard, it drilled into the mountain. After driving on the mountain road for half an hour, it was already a long way into the mountain, but it still hadn't reached the construction site. In the car, after listening to Dong Ling's introduction, I got a general idea of ​​the situation on the construction site.The construction site we are going to is a place with beautiful scenery.There is a cave and a lake.A person from Zhejiang took a fancy to this place and planned to develop a scenic spot. Lao Tian probably got the lead, but I don't know if he took a stake.Dong Ling and I came in through Lao Tian's relationship. Dong Ling only knew so much about the situation, and judging by her appearance, she had never been to the construction site. Chatting with beautiful women, time flies faster.Talk about gossip, to the construction site. My horoscope is really bad.When arriving at the construction site.Something happened at the construction site. Just as Dong Ling and I got off the bus, we arrived at the company's temporary office, which was a former primary school building in this village.Get ready to ask the construction manager there, the new guy reports. I heard from people in the office that the manager went to the construction site.Big trouble. Dong Ling and I went to the construction site.The cave construction site is quite far from the office, three or four miles away.It took dozens of minutes to get there. A group of people are arguing around the entrance of the cave.After asking others, I found out that a middle-aged man from a neighboring village said he was looking for his younger brother.His brother had been missing for a few days and was definitely dead.The body must be in the hole.To stop the construction, he went to find the corpse. How much money will be lost if the construction is stopped for one day, the manager will definitely not agree.The middle-aged man and a group of his relatives quarreled with the construction team. I also joined in to watch the excitement, and asked the people next to me, "Why do you have to look for corpses in the cave?" The man said casually: "Our people disappeared, and they all searched for corpses in this cave in the end. What's so strange?" In the end, the manager couldn't take it anymore, and promised to give the middle-aged man half a day to go into the cave to find the body. In less than half a day, two hours later, the middle-aged man and his companion came out.Said to have found his brother's body.But he put his brother's body in a very big snakeskin bag, so that it was hidden from people to see. When the manager saw that the matter was over, he stopped worrying and arranged to resume construction immediately.The group of people went into the cave in a mess and went to work.I looked carefully at the snakeskin bag containing the body.I thought, no matter how big the snakeskin pocket is, it would be too exaggerated to hold a personal corpse. I tilted my head and looked around, and when I looked, my heart skipped a beat.Sure enough, there was a problem. The snakeskin bag was not very strong, and a part of the body protruded from the bag.However, what sticks out is not a flesh and blood limb, but a piece of white bone, a bone without a bit of flesh.It was because of the sharpness of the bones that the snakeskin bag was pierced and stuck out. I thought of what Wang Ba told me, what bones did he ask me to find for him, and whether it had any connection with this matter.Wang Bagou Ri has no good intentions.He must know something and not tell me. How do I settle down, how do I meet with the manager, how does the manager arrange my work? In short, I started to go to work. I was responsible for the civil construction in the karst cave. In fact, I was just an idle job. The construction team was outsourced and I had my own team.My job is to check the quality of the concrete and whether the trestle is stable, and contact the blasting team to arrange blasting. The person who lives in the same dormitory with me is also a technician named Liu Tao, an electrician. He has been working for a month and is responsible for the communication, lighting and electricity transmission in the cave. On the first night of my stay, I didn't have any bedding. I shared a bed with Liu Tao, and he gave me half of his bedding.I was the same age as him, both young men, and we got to know each other very quickly. Sleep in bed at night and chat.I mentioned what happened at my construction site today. Liu Tao was silent for a while, then said to me: "You have just arrived, so don't inquire about things you don't understand. This cave is not good anyway." "What do you mean bad?" I asked. "I can't tell. It's only been a month since I've been here, and corpses have been fished out of the cave several times." "What kind of corpse is there, it's obviously..." I swallowed my words. "Bone, right? I already knew." Liu Tao stopped talking, turned over and went to sleep. The more I thought about it, the weirder it became, and I couldn't fall asleep. Fortunately, everything went well at work, but I went into the cave every morning and only came out at night, and I couldn't see the sun all day.The construction was very tense, and lunch was eaten in the cave.Many of the small workers who worked there were locals. Knowing that this cave was originally called Throat Cave, the boss from Zhejiang came and insisted on changing the name to Mountain Ghost Cave. Damn both names are evil. Let’s talk about the topography of this cave. Outside the cave is a mountain bay sandwiched by a mountain. A stream flows strangely around the mountain. When it reaches the throat hole, it goes into the cave and becomes an underground river.The underground river flows in the cave along the direction of the cave.Where the water is shallow, people can walk in the cave.Where the water is deep, the cave is flooded, and finally the creek flows out from the other end of the cave. Just such a karst cave was favored by Zhejiang people.to develop.Invest immediately, fill concrete and pave roads where there is ground, build long trestle bridges where the water is deep, and just follow the direction of the cave. When I went, the trestle bridge one or two miles into the cave had almost been repaired, and the construction had already reached the middle part of the cave, and concrete was needed to pave the road.Some places in the cave are too low, so it is necessary to fill with explosives to blow up the top of the cave wall to make the space wider. The scenery in the cave is so-so. Yichang is a karst landform. I don’t know how many similar caves exist.I am tired of seeing the developed karst caves. I don't care about these stalactites and stalagmites. It's just that this karst cave has just been developed, and few people have entered it for millions of years.Especially the place where I am working now is equivalent to a very long hall, because the cave wall in the front is too short, and the underground river will occupy all the space of the cave when it reaches here.Now the roof of the cave was blown up before the bridge was built.When there was no bridge in the past, it was a dark river here, no matter how brave and good the water skills were, they would not dare to dive into it. Every day, I watch people and mortar in the hole to test the quality of the concrete and make test blocks.I've been working for a week or so, and I always feel like something's not right.I have a relatively strong memory for space. After staying for two days, I can basically remember the orientation and shape of the stalactites and stalagmites on the stone walls along the way.But on the third day, I forgot the direction, which was a strange thing, and I doubted my memory. I deliberately remember the shape and direction of the stone wall, and I can almost remember it in one day.But the next day, I found that I had made a mistake again. After work, I chatted with Liu Tao - we have known each other for a long time, and we can already be regarded as friends.I said that I looked old and couldn't even remember the way.I have memorized the location inside the cave for several days, and I still remember it wrong today.Obviously I remember a stalactite, which is the place where the trestle bridge is going to end. It hangs down from the top. It is so big. Every time I go down, it hits my head, and I have to tilt my head to pass.I have been walking with my head tilted for three or four days, but when I go to work today, the big stone stalactite seems to have changed its place, and it has moved nearly one meter to the side. To reach the upper body. After hearing this, Liu Tao still didn't express any opinion.He wasn't surprised. Originally, I wanted to tell him as an anecdote, but he didn't respond, and I was immediately discouraged.In fact, I am not very confident in my memory. Now that I think about it, the big stone stalactite has always been on the outside of the trestle, but it is too big. I have the illusion that I can only pass by turning my head every time. After a few days, I really felt that something was wrong, because I was working in the cave, and I often sat on a small stone pit. I sat in a higher position and watched the workers work very comfortably. But I couldn't find the stone pit that morning. The location of the stone pit I remembered has now become a group of smooth stones.I am still denying my feelings, I must have remembered the wrong place again. Why have I become muddled since I entered this cave?My head is like a paste, and I can't remember anything. The workers are arguing with me again. It turns out that the concrete pavement has already been laid. I don’t know who damaged it. I want them to rework, but they don’t do it.Where do I agree.They insisted that it was someone else's deliberate sabotage.Ordinary people would not damage the road surface like that under normal circumstances. At the moment, in order to make them shut up, I took the workers to see the damaged pavement, and proved that it was their construction problems that caused the pavement to crack.But when I got there, I took a closer look and knew in my heart that I was wrong.The damage to the pavement cannot be caused by manpower.Because the hard rock under the roadbed was staggered by a gap of more than ten centimeters, people did not have such great strength, and it was not because the concrete was not marked enough. I began to suspect that there is a big problem with this hole. Is there an earthquake in our place?We are not in an earthquake zone.Just as I was thinking about it, there was a sudden power outage in the cave, and all the light bulbs went out.All the emergency lights were turned on, and I was so scared that I didn't dare to stay in the cave anymore. I hurried out and walked to the entrance of the cave, just in time to meet Liu Tao coming in with a coil of wires.I hurriedly asked Liu Tao, "What are you doing here?" "The wire running inside is broken again, I'm going to pick it up." "I suspect that there is something strange in the cave. The things inside can move. Those stones and the stalactites on the cave walls can move." Liu Tao looked at me for a while and said, "I know, my wires were also broken for this reason." "Since you know, why is it not surprising at all?" "After a long time, you will get used to it." Liu Tao walked into the cave.Leave me stunned. In the peaceful small mountain village deep in the mountains, strange things happened one after another... Many novels begin like this.No way, I can't be exempt.The experience I want to talk about happened exactly like this, one strange thing after another in the depths of the mountain.It's just that this strange incident has nothing to do with my arrival, because many things have happened here before I came. Something happened to the cave again. This time, an old man jumped off the cliff at the entrance of the cave, but he didn't fall.The body was found hanging from a bush several tens of meters above the entrance, and was discovered by workers who went to work in the morning.Originally, it is not a very special thing for an old man to jump off a cliff. When people are old, if their children are not filial, it is not new in the countryside for the elderly who have no food and clothing to think about it for a while.But when the old man's family was taking the corpse, they insisted on taking the corpse into the cave, but the security guards at the entrance refused to let him.They quarreled again.The villagers would make a fuss at the entrance of the karst cave because of the dead people, and the construction manager was already scratching his head about this matter.It is estimated that the villagers lost their temper.In the end, he agreed to this unreasonable request. Something is wrong, and I think everyone knows it.The manager must have known too. Sure enough, the family members of the deceased stayed in the cave for two or three hours before coming out again.Just as I expected, the old man's body was placed in a snakeskin bag. Now I don't need to look carefully, just looking at the outline of the snakeskin bag, I know that the old man's body is only bones. Two days later, I heard that a young man in another group quarreled with his neighbor and ate the neighbor's young crops for his cattle.Killed his neighbor, a woman a few years his senior, with a shotgun.This is what I heard from the little worker who worked in the cave when I was working. The little worker is basically a local villager, and he likes to tell anecdotes about the village while working.Listening to Xiaogong's tone, it seems that he sympathizes with the young man. The young man's family is poor and he is used to being bullied by his neighbors.This time it must have been unbearable. Before shooting, the deceased kept scolding and irritating him, saying that he was a bear and would shoot if he had the ability.The young man killed someone and didn't know how to run away, so he stood near the creek and kept crying, explaining his grievances to people who came.He didn't run until the police came, and was arrested without resisting at all. I had a premonition in my heart, and estimated that this dead woman would be brought into the cave again by her family.Then go out with a handful of bones.The manager is going to have another headache.But I waited for two days, but no villagers came to make trouble at the entrance of the cave.I feel like I have too many ideas.But one night in the middle of the night, I was woken up by the sound of people downstairs.Those human voices were deliberately suppressed very low, obviously not wanting people to know the movement. The dormitory where Liu Tao and I live is not far from the cave, on the second floor of a rented villager's house.Downstairs is the only way to go to the cave.I leaned up and looked downstairs. Sure enough, it was a group of people carrying something like a stretcher and walking towards the cave.The leader, a man in his forties, was talking to the security guard guarding the cave.The security guard was a local. Judging from the situation, he seemed to obey the arrangement of the middle-aged man, and even gave them a flashlight to guide them. Curious and frightened, I watched for a long time.He didn't realize that Liu Tao was also sitting up at any time, staring at the window sill. I have been here for more than a month, and I found that accidents like to happen in this village.Someone died at every turn.But the villagers all thought it was normal, and were not surprised at all. When they said these things, they were talking about their parents in a short tone. Only I am suspicious every day, but it is not normal.I dare not ask Liu Tao about the dead again. But I remembered what Wang Ba said before I came here, that the bones of something had been dug out of the cave, so I asked Liu Tao about it. Unexpectedly, this time Liu Tao didn't play tricks on me.Maybe that's why our relationship is already good.Liu Tao took a fancy to a cashier who had just been recruited.I kept giving him tips and taught him how to get close to the cashier.My method is very effective. In the past two days, the relationship between Liu Tao and the cashier named Juanjuan has rapidly warmed up.It is estimated that in two days, Liu Tao will drive me out of the dormitory.If it really came to this point, Liu Tao would definitely be grateful to him. Liu Tao said to me: "How did you know about the digging out of the bones you mentioned. The manager greeted everyone, and it must not be rumored." I also pretended to be mysterious, smiled profoundly, and pretended to know everything, "It's nothing, I just want to see if there is any." Liu Tao thought for a while and said to me, "Tomorrow noon, you come out of the cave for dinner. I'll take you to see the bones." At noon the next day, Liu Tao took me to see the bones dug out of the cave.I followed him, but unexpectedly he went straight to the company office, which is the old school building in this village. I didn't expect to see Dong Ling before I saw the bones. Liu Tao took me to the school building. I guess it was all an excuse. When I got to the office, I completely forgot what I was bringing me for. I kept talking to the cashier Juanjuan, and I was tired of waiting.Looking around, I saw Dong Ling next door.Dong Ling was on the phone, didn't see me, and promised: "Yes, I know, those things, when the car arrives tomorrow morning, I will arrange someone to install them." "What is it, so nervous." I entered the room and asked Dong Ling. Dong Ling said, "It's none of your business to meddle in your own business." Then she bowed her head to complete the document, her meaning was very clear: I can leave. I went next door to look for Liu Tao again, and seeing Liu Tao and Juanjuan talking enthusiastically, I couldn't bear to interrupt them. "Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh" I made a sound towards Liu Tao. Liu Tao walked to the door and pointed his hand behind me, "It's over the playground, you can go and see for yourself." I still wanted to ask which room it was, but Liu Tao closed the door. I think Wang Ba is interested in that thing, it must not be a good thing.The bones picked up from the cave can be better there.While thinking, I walked across the playground.No wonder Liu Tao didn't tell me about the house. Although the house on the side of the playground is big, there is only one door, and it used to be the school cafeteria. The door was locked, and I looked through the window and saw that there were indeed a bunch of things in the house.I climbed up to the window to get a closer look.But unexpectedly, I found that the bolt of the window was not fastened. I gently opened the window, and people got in. I went straight to the pile of things, and the stench made me sick.I took a closer look at those things, and it turned out that they were bones, but the bastard was about to be disappointed, I couldn't bring them to him. Although this pile of bones is very large, there are actually only two or three pieces.Each piece is more than two meters long and very thick.I didn't expect it to be such a big bone, and I thought it was very small after hearing the bastard's tone.It seems that it is impossible to bring some to him. The bones are gray, like fossils.But fossils are stones, so they don't smell so bad. The shape of the bones is also strange, curved and thick cylindrical, thick at one end, gradually thinning, the whole has a crescent shape, with pits and barbs on the bones.What kind of animal bone is this?I don't think it looks like a bone, but it is similar to a dog's tooth, but it is more curved than a dog's tooth, and its volume is tens of millions of times that of a dog's tooth. I kept thinking, if this is really a dog's tooth, how big the dog must be. Thinking of this, my heart trembled, and my back began to sweat coldly.I kept thinking over and over in my head: If it was a real tooth, how big would the owner of this tooth be... "What are you doing!" a man yelled from behind me. I jumped up with a frightened "ah".Damn it, I'm scaring myself, this guy is good, add fuel to the fire.Almost scared my soul out of my body. "What do you care about me?" I was startled, my heart was angry, and I was not polite. "Who are you, is this place where you should come?" "The legs are on my body, I can go wherever I want, and there is no sign saying no entry, so why can't I come in." The person who quarreled with was a middle-aged man in his forties.I talked to him a few words, and suddenly remembered that he was the one who secretly directed the villagers to carry stretchers into the cave two nights ago. The moon was very good that night, and I could see him from a few meters above his head. , will not admit the wrong person. I recognized this man and knew that he had done weird things, so I lost all confidence and dared not argue with him, so I listened to him scolding me and asking me from which family I was a child and not staying at home. Come here to God (Yichang dialect: Mischievous). I'm about to explain, I'm not a local.Dong Ling came in, but luckily she finally came to rescue me. But my wishful thinking was wrong, Dong Ling was even more excited than that middle-aged man, she yelled at me, spit all over my face.The scolding was so overwhelming that even the middle-aged man couldn't get in if he wanted to scold me. "You can't go to work well..." "You have to make trouble everywhere, so that you feel cool..." "You looked at this thing, how many pieces of flesh have grown on your body?" "you……" ... I'm sorry, I dare not say a word.Besides, seeing Dong Ling swearing was quite moving, I closed my ears and just looked at Dong Ling's vivid facial expressions.It looks more and more beautiful. "You're still laughing, what are you laughing at?" Dong Ling shouted, "You don't want to do it anymore." This sentence pulled me back from the semi-demented state.He quickly apologized to Dong Ling and the middle-aged man, saying that he likes to wander around when he has nothing to do, and accidentally transferred here.I don't dare to talk back, I have lost my job as a security guard now, if I don't continue to work, why don't I go begging for food? The middle-aged man knew my identity amid Dong Ling's continuous scolding.Be kind to me instead.It's okay to say it's okay, they are all people in the company, and it's no big deal.Xiao Xu is in charge of construction in the cave, and will have to deal with it more in the future. The middle-aged man wanted to shake hands with me, I only touched it lightly, and then retracted, I was afraid of this man.What he did that night was too mysterious. The previous few times when dead people entered the cave, they were causing disturbances during the day. If he chose night, maybe the disturbances during the day had something to do with him.I'm instinctively afraid of things I don't understand, so I'm afraid with this person.I don't even think responsibly, maybe this person is hostile to the company, and those things are deliberately finding fault.But why did he appear here.This is the land rented by the company. The middle-aged man introduced himself to me: "I am Yang Zewan, the director of the village committee of XX village (that is, our village)." Oh, no wonder, it seems that so many things have been brought up, and it seems that they are deliberately embarrassing the company and seeking more benefits for the village. I am proud of my wisdom. Yang Zewan continued: "I am also the deputy manager of XX Tourism Development Company (that is, our company). I will have to deal with them more in the future." I froze. "A few days ago I went to the district for a few days of meetings. I didn't have time to see you. Our project has been paid attention to by the district. We have been missing a technician to check the quality. Now you are here, Xiaoxu , I'm relieved." This Yang Zewan's speech became very polite, even a little flattering, but I was even more wary. Not for anything else, just because I saw him carrying the dead into the cave in the middle of the night.Also deceptive. There will be blasting in the cave in the afternoon, so I dare not stay in the company office forever.I hurried back to the cave to work.Most of the progress in the cave has been completed, and there is still a section of road. People can only crawl through it. After climbing through, the cave will be spacious, full of underground rivers, and no land.The construction arrangement is to blow open the very low part of the cave wall, and then build a small pier at the end to put a few boats. The last section of the cave is a wide river, and people can go out of the cave by boat.The exit of the cave is on the other side of the mountain.The underground river flows out to form a lake. Now the demolition team invited is drilling holes on the cave wall and preparing to release explosives.The sound of the air compressor in the cave was loud and deafening, and it was full of unburned diesel smoke. The punching didn't end until the evening.I can't go yet, I have to wait for the blasting team to blow up the cave wall, and then check the effect of the blasting.洞内爆破很危险，我早早的退出洞外，和爆破队的老板左一根，右一根地抽烟。守洞的保安不抽烟，可他很紧张。我就笑他，小屁孩子，没见过世面，开山放炮都吓得厉害。 保安不服气，想跟我说什么，可嘴巴动了动，把话又给吞回去。 咚咚洞内连续响了两三声沉闷的轰响。爆破队老板几十年经验了，“一共七响，都炸了，没哑炮。完事了。小徐，晚上咱们去猇亭喝酒去好不好。” 我当然愿意，但是还是要先去看看爆破后的情况。看达到预期效果没有。 和爆破队的老板往洞里走去。 还没走到一半，看见爆破的工人迎着我们狂奔，飞快地向洞外跑。爆破的老板一看，腿就软了，走都走不动，“完了，完了，出事了。” 我拉住跑过来的人，着急的问道：“怎么啦，伤人啦，要不要紧。” “没伤人。”那人挣脱我，继续跑了过去，“不过太吓人，这洞里太怪，这活干不下去了。” 接着又跑出来几个人，爆破队老板一看人数不缺，才缓过神。揪住最后一个人，“到底怎么啦，大家都没事么，你们瞎跑些什么，差点把老子赫死。” “炸到东西了，洞里面有活物。” “只要没炸到人，炸到什么都无所谓。”爆破的老板说：“到底怎么了？” “里面有东西在叫，是我们把它炸了，才叫的。” “什么声音，我怎么听不见。” “刚才叫的好大声，就跟猫被踩了尾巴一样的叫唤。”那人又连忙改口：“不对，声音没猫叫那么小，很大的声音，是从四面八方传出来的，连方向都分不出来。” 那工人吓的厉害，说了几句就继续往外跑，跑到栈桥中间，突然一声惨叫。 “你又怎么啦。”爆破的老板不耐烦的喊道。 我一看，原来那工人掉到河里去了。看清楚了，我心里也收紧，栈桥塌了好长一截，肯定是刚刚塌的，前面跑的工人都过去了。就这个工人多说了两句话，赶上了桥塌掉。 我和爆破队老板连忙过去把他拉起来。工人拼命地往上爬，嘴里喊着：“石头会动，刚刚石头在动。” 他肯定是吓黄昏了，拼了命的要出去。顾不上身上的湿漉漉的，顺着还没塌完的桥架子，爬到没塌的桥上，往洞外没命的跑去。 爆破队老板不信邪，非要去看看。其实我很想回去了。但又怕爆破队老板在经理面前说我工作不负责，不查看爆破效果。想了想，只好硬着头皮跟着他进去。 到了爆破施工的现场，我一看，效果很好，把洞壁炸塌了将近一米，洞内的地下，到处是石头碎末。到时候再在地上往下挖点，铺上路，走人就没问题了。 洞里静静的，只有嗡嗡的回响。听得人发晕。爆破队的老板仔细的检查有没有没炸到效果的地方。我就呆在一旁等着。一时无事，怎么就觉得嗡嗡的声音有点不大对头。好像听见很长的喘息声，但声音太长了，也不是很明显，甚至很细微，是类似呼呼的声音，呼一声的时间太长，有一两分钟才停顿，然后又响起。 我想到工人说的话，也害怕起来。就问爆破的老板看好没有，看好了快点走。 老板呵呵的笑：“小徐，你的胆子也不大嘛。” 我又发现了一个不对劲的地方，河水的颜色好像变了。本来在洞内，柳涛接的临时电源，只有一条回路，带这么多灯泡，光线是很弱的。河水平时看着就是黑乎乎的，当然看不出什么颜色。可现在，我总觉得河水的颜色跟平时有点区别。这只是感觉，不能确定。 如果是洞外，光线充足，就不用这样瞎猜。 这些小细节，都是我神经紧张的幻觉吧。这是人的正常反应，就跟一个人在半夜处在孤单的环境里，总是不由自主的想一些妖魔鬼怪的恐怖事情一样，越是避免不去想，这想法越是挥之不去。 再联系这么多天来洞里发生的怪事，我越想越怕，可又不敢在爆破的老板面前承认自己胆小，郁闷非常。 爆破老板还在洞壁上到处摸索，嘴里还“嗯”个不停，看样子很满意爆破效果。我为了让自己不再胡思乱想，也凑上前去，观察爆破后的石壁。看了一会，有看脚下的炮渣石，看石头炸的碎不碎，要是体积大了，不好运出洞。 我用手翻弄炮渣石，就看见一块小石头颜色泛白，还透着荧光。再一仔细的看，这样的石头还不少，估计是溶洞内有石英石，也被炸碎了，若是整块的石英石，应该值点钱。我见着有趣，就拿了一个在手上把玩。管他的，到时候就拿这个石头，给王八糊弄一下，算是给他一个交代。 爆破老板总算是检查完工作了。和我往回走。我现在理解刚才爆破工的心情了。因为我现在也很想狂奔着出洞。好像走慢了，就出不起一样。 走到栈桥出，我心里暗暗叫苦，栈桥塌了一大半，比刚才破坏得更甚。我和爆破老板只好下水。水浅的地方还好，水深的地方非得游泳。这时候已经是秋冬交替的时节，虽然洞内的气温很高，但水是从洞外流进来的，冰冷彻骨。 不过还好，前面有一群人正在没塌的栈桥上，用手电筒往洞内照，看见我和爆破老板了，慌忙下人来接我们。我一看这么多人在，心里踏实多了，走在软软的河床沙地上，不着急了。可精神一放松，突然脚下一空，彷佛踏到无底的坑里，身边的水也往下豁，我慌了，忙抬着手往上举。还好，一只手把我紧紧拽住。 我被提了上去，一看拉我上来的是村主任杨泽万。 原来是爆破工人跑出去惊动了村人，说洞里闹鬼，栈桥也塌了，还说我和爆破的老板在里面。杨泽万就带了人来看情况，刚好就看见我和爆破经理在地下河游泳出来。 杨泽万一边安排人给我和爆破的老板换干衣服，一边嘴里在叫苦：栈桥塌了这么多，又要重新架设，要耽误多少工期，浪费多少人工。这桥没个两三天修不好。 我回到宿舍，连忙擦干身上，转到被窝里，拿着刚才捡到的石头看，在屋内明亮的灯光下，看清楚了石头的样子，白森森的，渗着青光。这到底是个什么石头呢。 柳涛看见我拿着这个石头，也要看，看了一会，扔还给我。 “没什么了不起的，”柳涛说道：“我见这种石头多了去。” 话是这么说，我觉得柳涛有点言不由衷。 接下来几天，主要的工作就是把塌掉的栈桥修复好，桥弄好了，工人才能进的去，才能继续施工。经理也从市内赶回来了，黑着脸，看样子想找人发作，估计他被董事长给骂了。我尽量躲着他。浙江人发起火来，也不好对付。还好两天就修好了桥，明天就可以继续施工。 王八来看我了。还给我带了铺盖和换洗衣服。 董玲这个丫头，看见王八完全就变了个模样，说话口气温柔多了，又是发嗲，又是撒娇的。I bother.董玲还把王八和我带到她寝室里，不知道从哪里搞了个电饭煲，煮火锅给我们吃。我算是积了八辈子的德，跟着王八享这丫头的服侍。 王八和我喝酒。我就把到这里遇到的事情都给他一一说了。 王八听了一会，没表态。 董玲在旁边插嘴：“王哥少喝点酒，明天我们去洞里一起转转。你来了，怎么也要去看看。” “有什么好看的，我天天呆里面，看都看烦了。”我故意跟董玲抬杠，妈的，她来了这么久，什么时候进去看过。王八一来，就屁颠屁颠的讨好他，好像对洞里很熟悉似的。 我把从炮渣石里捡到的石头给了王八，王八看了看，对我说：“这就是骨头么，怎么是这个样子。” 我听王八这么一说，看着那石头，别说，歪打正着，还真像石头。 晚上刚好柳涛不在，听房东说，在村主任的家里喝酒，好像喝醉了，不回来了。妈的巴子，村主任什么时候请我们喝酒不好，偏偏在王八来了请，搞的我少喝一顿酒。 这下王八晚上就睡柳涛的被窝，我睡王八给我带来的被子。 晚上和王八在床上聊天。王八沉默很久，才说：“疯子，我也许错了，不该介绍你到这里来上班。” “你又卖什么关子啊。”我一听就火大：“老子的保安工作都丢了，你还说这风凉话。对了，我的工资你帮我要了没有。” “你老板说你不辞而别，没有办离职手续，不给工资。” “就知道他会这么说的，算了，两三百块而已，难道我还真的一辈子当保安啊。” 王八叹口气，“你到这里来，我当初没想这么多，还真怕你出什么事，我怎么跟你家人交代。” “你不会就听我说了稀奇事，就当真吧。”我听王八这么说，心里暖暖的，到底是兄弟，听了我说几句自己猜测的瞎话，就担心我的安危。 “不是的……”王八说道：“我前两天，把这里情况打听一下的，田叔叔和浙江人合伙，你是知道的，现在他们好像在扯皮，说不定那天要打官司，我事先做点准备。” “他们打官司，我不就又失业啦。我还是明天跟你回去，再到三峡找老板去，还是继续当保安稳当些。” “又没说非要打官司。生意上么，有纠纷是正常的，只是田叔叔这人做事很小心，提前做个准备而已。” 忽然我想起了一个细节，觉得这事情有点蹊跷。我问王八：“那从洞里的那几个大骨头，就是跟牙齿一样的东西，是不是田叔叔弄去了。我听见董玲打电话了的。” “你知道这么多干嘛。”王八又沉默了，给我来了个默认。 “到底有多少事，是你们瞒着我的，你知道，连董玲都知道，就他妈的我不知道。” “真不该把你弄到这里来的，本想只是给你介绍了个工作，却没想到这么多事情。” 我一听王八话里有话，看来王八对这个溶洞知道的事情，肯定比我多。我来气了。逼问王八：“你倒是给我说清楚，到底怎么回事。” 王八想了一会，慢慢说道：“你知不知道，这溶洞在山那边的出口，是什么地界。” “我哪里知道，我来之后，天天呆在洞子里面，那有时间到处乱跑。” “是金银岗。” 我一听就呆住了，觉得被子里好冷。宜昌有人也许不知道龙泉，但绝对不会不知道金银岗这个地方。 金银岗——宜昌最大的公墓群。 “知道为什么金银岗的来历吗？” “我那里知道，我只知道金银岗到处都是埋人的墓地。” “当年这个地方，是兵家必争之地，日本人来了，这里打仗很激烈，解放军打国名党，这里也是激战很凶的地方。” “所以，打仗牺牲的英雄，就地掩埋，都埋在金银岗了？”我试探的问。 “差不多吧……”王八答道：“有可能不止这些，这地方从古至今，只要打仗，就是双方交战的地方。” “你不会说，这地方几千年打的仗，死了数不尽的人吧。” 王八和我都不说话了，我们都想起了典故，历史上宜昌发生的战争，记入史书的不多，但有个战争非常的著名：陆逊火烧连营。 我一直认为是罗贯中在扯淡，可王八说道：“夷陵大战还真不是瞎说。” “所以这里就是个大坟场，自古死了无数的人在这里。” “我一来，就觉得这地方杀气太大。应该不会错。”王八又在装神弄鬼。 我把灯给拉熄，打算睡觉。可我身上越来越冷，睡不着，翻来覆去。 王八也睡不着，点了根烟，慢慢的说：“这个村有两个邻村，一个是金银岗旁边的灵宝村，属于伍家乡。靠东面是文畈，属于宜昌县。” “你跟我讲地理知识干嘛，和我有关系吗？” “有点关系，我认识一个乡土作家，经常在报纸上发表点文章的，混稿费那种。” “难道是这个地方的。” “恩，就是文畈的，他找到宜昌的文联，想发表一些关于这里的风俗和传说。” “他想发表这里的怪事？” “他当然不会写恐怖的一面撒，当然都是些无关紧要的传说。那个地方不都有这些小故事的册子啊。” "what do you want to say in the end?" “我到他家里去了的，来你这之前。他的家离这里只有几里路。” “你到底是来给我送被子，还是来打听的。” 王八不理会我的诘难，“我看了他家里的文稿，写的东西，和他想要发表的，完全是两码事。那些东西才是可信的，有意义的东西。但是太过于夸张了。我都不愿意相信。” “他的那些文稿，是不是和这个溶洞有关。” 王八又不说话了。 我都要急死了，这王八竟然还在吞吞吐吐。隔着被踢了他一脚，“你倒是有屁就放撒。” “那个作家姓文。” “你说这个姓文的干嘛，我要知道溶洞的事情，我他妈的天天呆在洞里面。” 王八不理会我，自顾自地往下说：“很巧，我去年认识的他，他想自费出书，来咨询过出版方面的事宜。其实他文化不高，只读过小学，但他写了很多东西，是很古老一些名词，我问他，他说是听村里老辈人说的，不是从书上看来的。” “你说这些到底有什么用。跟溶洞有什么关系。” “我看见他原稿上，说这个溶洞是'冉遗'。” “你说洞内有冉遗？”冉遗我和王八都知道，很多旧典籍上都提到过，一种鱼而已，头是扁的，跟蛇一样有信子，还有脚。 我相信古书上记载的一些稀奇古怪的动物是真实存在过的，只是慢慢绝种了。说不定一千年后，我们的后代也不知道大熊猫是什么东西，说不定也以为老虎是祈福的神兽呢。 “你说那个姓文的，听老人叙述，这冉遗还没消失。就在这洞里吧。” 王八说：“还不只这些。这个村子的人有些风俗，是跟冉遗有关的。” 我想起了村人从洞内抬出的人骨头，心里慢慢有点谱了。 我不打断王八说话，耐心的听他讲： “这个村子千百年来，都有风俗，拿人供奉这个洞。古时候曾经每隔十二年，就要一次祭祀很多个活人。可是解放后，破四旧，这套东西不能再搞了。他们就改变祭祀的方法，村里只要死了人，就把尸首供奉给洞内的神秘怪物。到了现在，政府强制实行火葬，人死了，也不敢往洞里送了。但最后他们还是有所保留，把横死的人弄进去。特别是自杀的，生急病死了的，出车祸的，必须送进去。他们的祖先和洞内的冉遗有过某种协议。” 这么一说，我倒是明白多了：“冉遗在上古神兽中，属于能控制水的动物。这个村子不靠大江大河，只有一条小溪，山上也都是石头。的确要靠冉遗的能力，风水才滋润。怪不得这里虽然在大山深处，村民却比靠近公路的富裕。” 我说了这些，念头一转：“王八，田叔叔和浙江人闹矛盾是不是跟溶洞的冉遗有关，哎，他们做生意是不是幌子，难道是想在溶洞打冉遗的什么注意。” “你想多了。”王八说道。 “我没想多！”我大声说道：“那些骨头，很大的骨头，是不是跟冉遗有关。董玲是不是交给田叔叔了。是不是因为这件事情，田叔叔和浙江人才有矛盾的。” 王八又不说话了。 “你他娘的！又被你耍了。”我现在心里更明镜似的，怪不得王八巴巴地在查询跟溶洞有关事情，还找到了文畈的那个懂得风俗的乡村作家。董玲把骨头交给田叔叔，而没给浙江老板。她跟王八都是一样的目的。原来是他们都在帮田叔叔做事。那我呢，我也是田叔叔弄来的，是的是的，我天天在洞里，有什么事情都熟悉，随便董玲和王八问一问，我不就都会告诉他们吗，我不是把那个白色石头给了王八了吗。 “我给你的石头到底是什么？董玲给田叔叔的石头到底是什么？”我懒得跟王八客气了。 “我也还没弄清楚，真的，不骗你，我只知道洞里有东西，是田叔叔和浙江人想要的。” “他们到底是开发旅游区，做生意挣钱，还是想从冉遗那里弄出什么好处。” “谁知道呢，反正他们都是生意人，怎么做都不会吃亏。” 我对王八说：“我是不是看着很蠢，不然你们怎么都把我当傻子盘呢。” 王八笑着说：“你倒是蛮有自知之明。” 我把被子掀了，要打王八。 王八说道：“别闹了，明天要早起，到洞里看看。董玲明天六点就来叫我们。” 我心里郁闷的很，很难得睡着。 睡得晚了，早上被王八推醒的时候，很不耐烦。天色还是黑的，听见董玲在楼下喊我们。这丫头怎么看见王八了，跟打了兴奋剂似的，精神这么好。 三个人，打着电筒，往溶洞走去。到了溶洞门口，保安认识我和董玲，当然不会拦我们。王八进了洞就飞快的往里走。要我快点带他到放炮的地方，他想看看炮渣石。我知道他是想看炮渣石里的类似骨头的石英石。看来这东西不简单。 走到了爆破的地方，炮渣石还是跟几天一样，堆在洞内。王八慌忙蹲下腰，在碎石里翻弄，董玲在一旁用应急灯给他照亮。 王八这个四眼田鸡，跟个睁眼瞎似的，炮渣石里那么多青白色的石头，他找了半天，愣是一个都没找到。 “没弄错地方吧。”王八只是说了一句，就住嘴，明摆着这堆炮渣石在这里，那里有错。 “你眼睛长着出气的，让我来吧。”我看见董玲巴巴的给王八帮忙，心里酸不溜秋的，忍不住要损王八两句。 可是我当我也在炮渣石里找寻的时候，也找不到了，一块都找不到。 “咦”我也奇了怪。明明看见有很多这种石头在炮渣石堆里的。怎么就一个都找不到了。 “要是能多几块就好了，我就能对出骨节的方位了。”王八跟董玲说着悄悄话。 “我也没招了。”我站起身两手一摊，王八到现在都没有跟我说实话，我也懒得帮他淘神费力的找东西。 “难道这骨节都自己缩回去了？”董玲帮王八分析。
