Chapter 47 Chapter 47: A Deeper Place

The guard in Building No. 2 came over, stomped his feet on purpose, coughed, and seeing that there was no sound from the other side, he couldn't help laughing and scolding: "I said the brother on the other side, what are you doing with the drums at night?" A held his breath, thought about what to do, then got out, lowered his voice, changed his emphasis, and cursed at the crack of the door in a low voice: "None of your business." The guard in Building No. 2 was not angry when he heard that, he laughed and replied, "I want to get something after changing the guard. Haha. Whatever you want, whatever you want!"

A continued to curse: "You don't care about me!" Seeing that he was getting bored, the guard in Building No. 2 said, "Damn it, it's Lao Tu. Oh, it's none of my business. Keep your voice down, shit!" Then he left. A had a false alarm, but knew that it was not easy, so he tried harder and moved some big furniture away again.Looking at it again this time, it has already passed the drill alone. It's just that time seems to have passed a lot. The guards upstairs in Building No. 1 are packing up their things and preparing to check the night.Either someone else, or Lao Tu who was misidentified just now.Lao Tu pushed the guard who came back from the basement to get cigarettes, and cursed: "Be more active! Check the night!"

The guard was drowsy, and when Lao Tu pushed him, he grunted reluctantly, and deliberately dawdled to pack his things. At this time, A has reopened the door to the basement room, locked the door from the inside, and hung up the key.Climb up to the low table next to the flower pot stand and push away the wooden board above. Lao Tu yelled: "Your baby, be more energetic." The guard said, took the flashlight in his hand, walked out of the duty room with Lao Tu, and opened the iron door with a bang. A drilled into the tunnel again from the wooden plank at a very slow speed. After this tossing, the wound on his waist became a little bit excruciating and excruciatingly painful. Every time A tried hard, he grinned in pain.When A finished covering the wooden boards, Lao Tu and the others had already entered the corridor of Building No. 1, and they were using flashlights to illuminate room by room.Usually they don't use flashlights, maybe it's because the time for changing the guard on the first day of junior high school is approaching, and the night inspection is also stricter.

A hurriedly crawled towards the entrance of the cave, and the guard above, Lao Tu, was also approaching Cell 108. Feng Jinjun stayed at the door, looking back at the direction of the cave. He had already signaled A, but A never showed up. Seeing that Lao Tu and the others were coming, Feng Jinjun broke out in cold sweat again. Lao Tu and the others walked towards Cell 108, and the guard who was holding a cigarette swayed and groaned as he walked.Lao Tu returned impatiently from the gate of 108, and asked, "Did you eat shit today? You can't walk well?" The guard said apologetically: "Old Tu, I haven't closed my eyes for two days and one night. Please forgive me."

Old Tu scolded: "I'm not the same." The guard said: "You are a night owl, who doesn't know that you come alive at night." Old Tu scolded: "It's none of your business? Are you okay?" The guard shook his foot and said, "It's all right." The two of them came to the door of Cell 108. Lao Tu took a flashlight and shone inside. The flashlight swept across A's bed. He only saw the quilt, but he didn't seem to see anyone. Lao Tu was about to have a seizure.Turning A's head out from the edge of the quilt against the wall, he seemed uncomfortable in the light, shook his head, and buried his head on the side again and fell asleep.

Lao Tu put away the flashlight and went to 107. A took a deep breath under the quilt, turned his face sideways, and glanced at Feng Jinjun.Feng Jinjun also gave A a look. A just caught up and made no mistakes. When the guards left, A got out again, and he clutched his waist, which was in great pain. Knowing that A's waist injury has not recovered, Feng Jinjun said secretly: "Your waist is not good, why don't you tell me what to do." A shook his head and whispered, "You can't go down now." Enduring the pain, A drilled into the passage again. This time he crossed the uncovered board and crawled deeper into the passage. Soon, he couldn't even see the glimmer of light from the hole behind him.

The deeper you crawl, the worse the conditions are. In addition to all kinds of sour smells from below, you often feel greasy things on the walls, and there are some irregular gravels under your knees. A can't control so much, and crawls forward on his own. After climbing about 20 meters, A took out the wire he was carrying and calculated the distance.After climbing a few steps forward, there was no way ahead, and the passage was covered with stones. A touched the stones, grabbed one and shook it, and the stones fell all over his hand. It was not firm, it was simply blocked with stones.

A pulled out the stones one by one, and within a short time, the stone wall was already broken.There is light coming out from the outside, not the lights, but the moonlight outside. A enlarged the opening of the stone wall, and drilled through. There was an iron fence in front, which had reached the end of the passage.Looking out from the iron fence, there is a patio. This patio is not a well in the usual sense. To be precise, it is a rectangular pit about four meters long and one meter wide. The walls are all made of stone.On one side of the patio, there are two small windows, which are the windows of the two rooms.Above the patio, there is a big cover made of thumb-thick iron bars.

This architectural style can only be seen in very old buildings. The main function of the patio is the entrance of the main drainage channel.Also, due to the unevenness of the terrain, there is an exposed basement space, so that the basement can also be directly ventilated with the outside world.During the war, this kind of building with a huge patio was relatively common, in order to prevent the ground buildings from being blocked and unable to ventilate after the bombing, so a huge patio was dug to keep the basement ventilated and ventilated. In some anti-aircraft buildings after China's liberation, the pattern of large patios is still common.Usually these patios are almost the size of one side of the entire building, and can be directly descended by stairs, and the rooms below are all lower than the ground.There are a large number of such buildings in Hubei, Hunan, and Sichuan.There are also many prisons in China, and the cells for serious criminals are also built directly in the courtyard.For example, in the Hubei Shayang Labor Reform Farm (formerly the May 7th Cadre School), a one-story house has large patios on both sides of the front and back, and the deepest part is 10 meters below.This makes the buildings on the ground seem to be built in a big pit.

After the renovation of the Baishan Pavilion, the original underground drainage facilities have been abandoned, so the two small windows in the courtyard where A came to are the windows of the two confinement rooms in Building 1. A shook the iron fence at the end of the passage, but it was not fixed firmly either. A pried it with a knife, and a long nail was pried out.After prying out another one, the iron fence is actually useless and can be pushed away directly. A was naturally not idle, he pushed open the fence, took off his shoes, put them in the passage, and got out barefoot.The patio is relatively deep, with a layer of silt and stagnant water underneath.

A went down from the entrance to the bottom, and heard the footsteps of patrols coming from far and near. A stood against the wall of the patio, waiting for the patrol before taking action again. A touched the wall under the window. The wall was made of large stones, but it was quite flat.The walls were covered with a thick layer of moss, slippery, almost covering the gaps between the stones. A took out a knife, estimated the position of the window, scraped away the moss, found a gap in the stone, and then inserted the knife in with one stroke. A pushed it, and the knife moved forward smoothly without much effort. This is very strange, how can it advance so easily in the gaps in the stone?This is because many buildings at that time did not use concrete, which was definitely a high-tech thing at that time.Therefore, the cement between the stones in the courtyard is made of a kind of extremely viscous lime soil mixed with lime.This method of bonding is also very effective, but it has a disadvantage that it is not easy to dry. If it is in a humid place like the patio of Baishan Pavilion, it is easy to insert a knife and cut along the gap. A Before entering the Baishan Pavilion, he had a clear grasp of the architectural topography and the main material conditions of the Baishan Pavilion. But A just tried it out and didn't continue.Seeing that he could cut in with a knife, he drew it out.His main task in coming to the courtyard is not to cut stones now. A came to the corner along the side of the patio, he used his feet to push the weeds away, and a hole in the corner appeared. A rolled his trouser legs over his knees, and got in like a well-versed mouse. This is a dark, long, abandoned sewer.The only good thing is that it is relatively spacious, fully twice as wide as the passage A crawled through, so A can squat forward in it. After walking about 20 meters in the dark, after turning a corner, there was light in front of it, and it was almost the end.The ground under his feet has no artificial traces, and is made of natural stones. A speeded up and walked all the way to the end. The hole was so small that he could barely bend down and poke his head out. A leaned out from the hole, and a gust of cold wind blew in, making A shiver. Looking down, here is a vertical cliff with bottomless bottom. If you want to run out from here, you must have a strong rope hundreds of meters long or insert wings, and more importantly, you need to expand the hole. A touched the four walls of the cave entrance, all of them were huge granite that was connected into one body, and there was no possibility of prying at all. A grabbed the pebbles he had collected while eating from his coat pocket. During this time, he had collected hundreds of these pebbles. A glanced at the small stones, threw them into his mouth, and chewed hard. The taste of the stone is definitely not good, but it can be crushed, which is the only comfort. A suppressed his discomfort, chewed slowly, and tried his best to grind the stone into pieces with his teeth.He spat out a little, and the stone mixed with saliva was dark red. A picked up a little bit with his fingers, rubbed it together, and chewed harder in his mouth at the same time. A stuck his fingers in the air, took out some, then stretched out his hand from the hole, touched the rock wall outside, found a dry place, and applied the broken stones on the rock wall with his fingers. A slowly used the stone powder in his mouth to paint a palm-sized circle on the outer rock wall, and added two "legs" under the circle.
