Chapter 5 Chapter Four: Bai Qiwei's Adventures in the Water Conservancy Construction Site of the Paraná River

Huang Tang's investigation results are closely related to the whole story, but we must delay the description because some things that happened after leaving the fire scene are also closely related to the whole story, that is, what I mentioned After a while, the reason for Bai Qiwei's visit.Of course, as I said before, at that time, no one knew that what happened to Bai Qiwei was closely related to the whole incident. We got in the car.Bai Su asked her brother: "Where are you recently?" As soon as Bai Qiwei arrived, he met Liu Ju's visit, and then a series of accidents happened. Before going to bed last night, everyone was in a trance, so a question that should have been asked immediately after the meeting was postponed until then.

Bai Qiwei replied: "This year, I have been between South America, Brazil and Paraguay—" Bai Su said "ah": "Participate in the construction of the Parana River dam?" After she said that, she asked me He smiled and said, "My brother is a water conservancy engineer. Naturally, he pays more attention to large-scale water conservancy projects around the world." I smiled: "The Paraná River Dam is the largest water conservancy project in the world so far. You don't need to have relatives who are hydraulic engineers. You should pay attention to it."

When we were talking, Bai Qiwei suddenly sighed, and Bai Su asked with concern: "Is there a problem with the project?" Bai Qiwei shook his head, I noticed his expression, he was a little melancholy, so I yelled, "I see, I'm in love, right? You've already reached the age when you should have a beloved opposite sex." Bai Su glared at me, looking at her, she wanted to reprimand me for talking nonsense.But at the same time, she saw that Bai Qiwei did not deny it, and there was an even more melancholy expression between his brows. It seemed that he was right, so she stopped talking.

I was talking about it casually, but in the current situation, everyone can see that Bai Qiwei must have emotional troubles, so it is inconvenient for me to joke anymore, so I have to wait for him to speak. But Bai Qiwei didn't speak anymore, he just let out a sigh after a while, and he didn't let out a long sigh until he got home: "I'm here this time, I just hope you two can hear about some of my experiences." Bai Su and I quickly said: "Of course, if something happens, we always have to discuss it with our own people." Bai Qiwei looked a little hesitant: "It may delay you for quite a while──"

Bai Su and I yelled at the same time again: "What are you talking about!" Bai Qiwei waved his hand: "I mean, there are many things that I can't understand. It seems a bit unreasonable for a person to be baffled by what he personally experienced, but it is true, so what I say, listen, It may also be inexplicable.” I laughed: "What's the matter, why explain so much? Come on, we must listen carefully." Bai Qiwei leaned back on the sofa, staring at the ceiling. After a while, he continued to smoke a cigarette until the ashes fell down without feeling it. He was so preoccupied, he was naturally thinking about how to talk about his own experience.

Both Bai Su and I are full of doubts, but it's not easy to rush him.Knowing that I was impatient, Bai Su pressed my hand and motioned me not to disturb him. It wasn't until he finished smoking a cigarette and put out the butt that he said, "The Parana River is the second longest river in South America, with a total length of more than 5,000 kilometers, second only to the Amazon River. My job is to go deep into it." The birthplace of the river, to detect its water flow, and the reason why the entire river water is reduced to almost dry up every September, this is an important work that must be carried out before the project begins..."

Bai Qiwei's experience began when he and a group of water conservancy engineers, guides, and local officials set off to investigate the source of the Paraná River. The Paraná River originates in the southeastern part of the Brazilian plateau. Like all big rivers, its source is very complicated, with many small rivers converging. The main source of the Paraná River is the Paranaiba River.The whole river flows through the high mountains, the current is very fast, and there are so many waterfalls, it is probably the crown of all the rivers in the world. There are about fifty people in the whole team, and they have the best equipment, but every day they go up the river and travel in the rugged mountains, and they can't exceed ten kilometers per day.Sometimes, moving slowly on the cliff, listening to the roar of the river below, rushing through the canyon, is really thrilling.Naturally, as a water conservancy engineer, seeing this situation, he would not be very poetic. What he thought of was that in these rapids, there is an inestimable huge energy. If it can be used, it can improve the lives of tens of millions of people. Life.

Bai Qiwei is not a gregarious person, and his special oriental arrogance also makes the rest of the people find it difficult to approach.Moreover, others can stay away from the river and choose a better place to walk. Since he is responsible for measuring the flow of the river, the flowmeter must be placed in the water to have data records. Therefore, he must be as close to the river as possible to complete the work. . In the entire working group, the closest person to him is his assistant, a very cheerful Brazilian boy, under the age of 30, who works hard and gets along very well with Bai Qiwei. This boy's name is Li Ya .

On that day, they spent the whole day by the turbulent river, walking upstream, quite far away from the entire working group, and the information they obtained that day was very sufficient.Originally, at four o'clock in the afternoon, they were supposed to meet up with the brigade, but they saw that not far ahead, the water was roaring, and one of them was not very high, but looked from a distance, it was already a waterfall with steaming water and great momentum , Bai Qiwei found that the water flow of this waterfall was so rapid that it was beyond imagination. When there was no record of it in the existing materials, he couldn't help being very surprised, and couldn't help but said: "What happened to the river surveyors in your country?" How could such a waterfall ignore the past?"

When he asked this question, he realized that Li Ya was also staring at the waterfall, and his expression was terrified, his lips moved, as if he was muttering to himself. Due to the loud noise of the rushing river, and the faint roar of the waterfall not far away, it is necessary to raise the voice so that the other party can hear it.At this time, he knew that Li Ya was muttering to himself, but Bai Qiwei couldn't hear what he was saying. Li Ya's expression was very strange. Originally, he was a young man who was not afraid of anything. He dared to follow Bai Qiwei and jump from a pile of rocks to a place a few meters away in the rapids where the river was turbulent like a beast. A pile of rocks went up.

Bai Qiwei has warned him countless times, saying that he has received strict Chinese martial arts training, and his physical fitness is far beyond ordinary people, so what he can do is not something he can follow. As long as one person stumbles, in such a fierce and rapid river Among them, the chance of survival is extremely slim. But when Li Ya heard this, he just smiled and didn't care. He also said that he grew up in the village by the river and was immersed in the rapids on the first day of his birth. The kind of whitebait whose body is as flat as paper can even swim against the current. Whether Li Ya has this ability is unknown, because until then, he had no chance to perform.But he was bold, that's for sure. But at this moment, he stared at the waterfall, but showed a very scared expression. Bai Qiwei didn't understand why a water conservancy worker should be afraid when he saw the waterfall, so he approached Li Ya. Li Ya didn't seem to notice that Bai Qiwei had come to him at all, and was still talking to himself. Bai Qiwei had heard clearly at this time, and it turned out that he was repeating a few words: "God, it really has, It's really coming, it's really there, it's really going to be." Bai Qiwei couldn't help shouting: "What are you talking about?" Maybe it was because Bai Qiwei shouted too loudly, or maybe it was because Li Ya was already in a very terrified state, so he suddenly shook, and he seemed to be a little lost. He pointed at the waterfall, and his voice Trembling: "This...is the legendary...'Guikushen'...so it really exists, it's not an ancient legend, it's true." Bai Qiwei was still puzzled, and said loudly: "Please explain more clearly." Li Ya refused to say anything more, just looked around, looking for a way to leave, Bai Qi said: "What do you want to do? The waterfall with such a huge flow of water does not exist in the water conservancy data, we have to take a good look .” As soon as Bai Qiwei said this, Li Ya hardly knelt down and begged: "Please, Mr. Bai, don't go over and look, let's go back to the team quickly. This... doesn't exist in the first place, and of course it doesn't exist in the data." At that time, Bai Qiwei was angry and funny at the same time. He didn't understand what Li Ya meant by saying that. Li Ya's words were so contradictory. Just now he said "there really is" and now he said "it didn't exist in the first place." ", and said that it was the legendary "Ghost Weeping God". Li Ya looked like he was insane, Bai Qiwei patted his cheek hard: "Come and take a look with me before it's dark." Li Ya let out a terrified cry: "God, I can't go, I will never go, Mr. Bai, you...please don't go too." At this moment, Bai Qiwei could see that Li Ya was really terrified for some reason.He was full of doubts in his heart, and asked: "What is going on, you calm down and talk about it. If the reason is sufficient, I will listen to your opinion." Hearing Bai Qiwei say this, Li Ya felt as if he had come out of a desperate situation. He took a few deep breaths before saying, "Mr. Bai, this waterfall doesn't usually exist." Bai Qiwei is a hydraulic engineer, and of course he is also an expert in rivers and water flow.He fully understood what that meant. Waterfalls are formed by water flow. If the flow of the river decreases, the waterfalls will disappear. If the rivers are flooding, then the waterfalls will form. This is a very common natural phenomenon. So he said, "So what?" Seeing that Bai Qiwei didn't feel the seriousness of the matter at all, Li Ya was so anxious that he almost cried: "This waterfall... I grew up by the river, and I have never seen it before. I only heard the old man in the village say, In this place where there is usually no water, if there is a waterfall, it will be the time for the 'Ghost Crying God'." Bai Qiwei still didn't understand: "You mentioned 'Ghost Crying God' twice, what does that mean?" Li Ya shook her head quickly: "I don't know, I don't know." Bai Qiwei said angrily: "It's what you said, you don't know, is it plausible?" Li Ya argued: "I mean, I haven't heard it, and I don't want to hear it. The old people in the village said that anyone who has heard of the 'Ghost Crying God' will go crazy. I don't want to become a lunatic. When I was a child When I saw a few old lunatics, they were all frightened mad by the "Ghost Crying God". After this waterfall appeared, people who saw it had to stay away, otherwise... thousands of ghosts, they would be gone. There will be a cry, and anyone who hears it... will go mad." Bai Qiwei was not a good-tempered person at first, but at this moment, because Li Ya's expression was so pitiful, he was patient and listened to Li Ya's chattering teeth intermittently, and after listening , he couldn't help laughing out loud. He finally figured out why Li Ya was afraid: it turned out to be because of an ancient legend in the native village. This legend, of course, is because the natives couldn't figure out why the waterfall suddenly appeared. The "Ghost Weeping God" is mostly a huge rush of water flowing through a narrow riverbed, colliding with and rubbing against rocks. This kind of sound may be very astonishing. Naturally, in the legend, it was exaggerated as tens of thousands of ghosts crying. When Bai Qiwei laughed, Li Ya stared at him with wide eyes. Bai Qiwei patted him on the shoulder while smiling. Bai Qiwei said: "Boy, you are not a native in the mountains now, you went to school in Rio de Janeiro, and you are a person with modern knowledge." Li Ya obviously couldn't think of how to answer, he just shook his head desperately, looking pitiful and funny. Bai Qiwei is still patient: "This kind of natural phenomenon is the best subject for water conservancy engineers to study. Where does a large amount of water come from and why does it disappear? If you understand its laws, it can be used as an important basis for engineering. Aren't you determined to be a good hydraulic engineer?" Li Ya was still shaking his head vigorously, and he actually yelled loudly: "I want to be a good engineer, but don't be a crazy engineer." Bai Qiwei's patience came to an end, he couldn't hold back anymore, and said loudly, "Then don't go, a native will always be a native, even if he won the Nobel Prize, a native will still be a native." Bai Qiwei's words naturally made Li Ya very sad, but he also had a really good heart, begging: "Mr. Bai, don't go either, please, there will be no good results if you go." Bai Qiwei ignored Li Ya's pleading at all, and started looking for a way, heading towards the waterfall.After walking for a while, he looked back and saw Li Ya standing there like a statue, motionless.Bai Qiwei was still hopeful, thinking that he would eventually follow, but now depending on the situation, Li Ya would not come. Bai Qiwei also ignored him, and continued to walk forward. Although there is no road in the mountains, it is relatively flat beside the river and forest, so it is not difficult to walk.The closer he was to the waterfall, the more majestic the waterfall felt, and it was by no means below the famous waterfalls in Nicaragua, Huangguoshu and Victoria.The waterfall will not exceed ten meters, but the sound of the water is deafening. When a large amount of water rushes down, the splashing waves are even higher than the waterfall itself. It is a spectacle that has never been seen before. When he was approaching, Bai Qiwei began to climb up. It didn't take long before he saw the formation of the waterfall. It turned out that the river bed above was quite shallow, and a large amount of river water rushed in—Bai Qiwei speculated that it might be because of a sudden heavy rain over the mountainous area further upstream, which caused a flash flood, so the water flow increased greatly—the river was almost flooded On the shore, there are many small gaps, rushing out, like countless flying silver snakes. And there happened to be a big gap, and the river water rushed out naturally, so the big waterfall was formed. There may not be many chances of heavy rain over the mountains. On weekdays, there will be no mountain torrents, less river flow, and water will not overflow from the gap. Naturally, there will be no waterfalls. Seeing this situation, Bai Qiwei scolded Li Ya many times in his heart. He walked forward along the river bank for another distance, standing on the opposite side of the river, watching the rushing rapids. While observing the terrain, he made a plan in his mind. Tomorrow, he would try to get a helicopter to investigate how such a large flow of water was formed. Bai Qiwei was very engrossed in watching it. When he suddenly saw a golden light on the river, he realized that the setting sun had already set in the west, which was the reflection of the sunset. In the mountains, darkness comes very quickly when the sun goes down.Bai Qiwei groaned in his heart, he couldn't join the working group, so he had to find a place to spend the night here. Bai Qiwei has a wealth of experience in wild life, so spending the night by the river is not a big deal. He first looked at the surrounding environment, and then walked along the river for a while. There was a gravel beach with clusters of A bunch of shrubs, Bai Qiwei used the branches of those shrubs to light a bonfire before it was completely dark, then he turned his coat over, spread it out, and spread it on the ground, and he sat down by the bonfire , sat down, chewed dry food, and scooped up river water from a jug to drink, and the river water turned out to be very clear and delicious. In the night, he watched the magnificent scenery of the river, and sat down for a while to pass the time.It wasn't until midnight that he enlarged the bonfire, and it was estimated that it could burn for at least an hour before he lay down.The sound of the rumbling river was very hypnotic, and he fell asleep after a while. He didn't know how long he had slept, but he woke up suddenly.He was awakened, but the situation was very strange.Usually, when a person is awakened in a deep sleep, it is always because of some noise around him that he wakes up.But at that time, Bai Qiwei's situation was just the opposite. He woke up because the sounds around him suddenly disappeared. When he woke up, he couldn't hear any sound, and it was so quiet that Bai Qiwei didn't even know that he had woken up for a split second, thinking that he had entered a dream.After all, it is very easy to figure out whether a person is asleep or awake. When Bai Qiwei was sure that he was awake, for a while, he was not sure where he was because of the sound of rumbling water before falling asleep. , and the silence after waking up is really far away.He sat up, opened his eyes, and at least half a minute later, he was sure that he was still by the river, where he fell asleep not long ago. At this time, the bonfire has also been extinguished, leaving only a pile of dark red ashes burning silently, without even a slight "pop" sound.Bai Qiwei was puzzled, where did the violent sound of water go?As soon as he jumped up, he already had the answer, and the waterfall was gone.The water in the river decreased significantly, and the water potential also became extremely slow, so slow that in the night, the river seemed to be still. The river should not be still, it must be flowing, but there is really no sound at all. This situation is really strange. Bai Qiwei stood there for a while, remembering that Li Ya once told him that this waterfall is called "Ghost Weeping God" by the natives, and it is ridiculous to say that there will be thousands of ghosts crying. To the extreme, Bai Qiwei, who is used to living in the wild, has never experienced such a quiet experience. He took a deep breath, lit a cigarette, and after taking a puff, he stared forward blankly. What attracted him to look forward was not that there was anything he could see in front of him, but that there was a sudden scream in front of him. Hearing that scream in the silence made Bai Qiwei feel cold all over his body, and his finger holding the cigarette trembled involuntarily. That cry was a real scream, moreover, it was obviously made by a human being. It was absolutely impossible for other animals to make such a sound full of misery that the people who heard it couldn't help trembling violently. That call was actually not strong, it was just miserable.It seemed that the person who made the noise was trying to restrain himself so as not to make any noise, and was preparing to endure the pain silently.But maybe the pain in his heart was too strong, no matter how he tried to control it, it would inevitably erupt. It was not him calling, but a natural eruption of misery and pain. The scream dragged on for quite a long time, and the lingering sound became lower and lower, but the shock it brought to those who heard it was even stronger. Bai Qiwei wanted to take another puff of the cigarette to calm himself down, but his hands were shaking so badly that he couldn't put the cigarette into his mouth. Moreover, for a moment, he couldn't do anything except stand there trembling like a clay sculpture or wood carving. He just kept repeating a few words in his heart: "God, don't let me hear such a scream again, don't let me hear it again, if you listen to this scream a few times, people will go crazy .” When he was praying like this, he naturally thought of what Li Ya had said: People who hear the "Ghost Weeping God" will become crazy. Thinking of this, his breathing was involuntarily rapid, and at this moment, the scream came again.This time, there were continuous screams, and because the screams were so heart-piercing, he couldn't tell whether the person who called out was a man or a woman, and he couldn't even tell whether it was a single person or several people. Calling together. That continuous scream made Bai Qiwei not only tremble all over, but also feel real physical pain. The pain of the screamer seemed to be transmitted to his body, causing a sharp pain in his heart and shaking his body. When he got up, if he hadn't had quite strong self-control, at this moment, he couldn't help but open his mouth and scream, to vent the pain in his heart that shouldn't exist, but came to him amidst the screams. His thoughts were extremely chaotic, he didn't know what happened, and the only thing he could think of was what Li Ya said.It is no exaggeration to call this kind of scream the "Ghost Crying God", or describe it as the cry of thousands of ghosts. Amidst the chaotic thoughts, Bai Qiwei suddenly thought: What kind of secret weapon is this?It has long been established that sound waves can kill people, but this cry full of despair, pain, and misery can vibrate every nerve of the person who hears it, and it is more powerful than any high-frequency or low-frequency sound waves. Greater lethality. Because in this kind of cry, it is full of human emotions, which can make people emotionally infected.It's really hard to imagine what kind of consequences would be caused if only the opponent's soldiers heard such a cry on the battlefield. Is there some organization that is secretly conducting experiments on this secret weapon here? Bai Qiwei's thoughts were extremely chaotic at that time. When he thought of this, he obviously forgot that Li Ya once said that it was an "ancient legend", and it had been many years. But this inexplicable thought made Bai Qiwei calmer at that time.In the midst of a completely inexplicable situation, a person who feels great shock, if he can find some unfounded but conceivable hypotheses, will be like a drowning person who suddenly catches a piece of driftwood. The same, how much can start to work. Bai Qiwei's situation at that time was like that. At this time, all kinds of screams were still like sharp saws, sawing every nerve in him. Some screams were sharp, some were depressed, some were accompanied by groans, and some were accompanied by groans. Gasps, every scream.They all send endless pain and sorrow, as well as anger and despair.Occasionally, among the screams, there were also shouts, which seemed to be shouting in various languages.Not very audible either. However, Bai Qiwei finally heard one sentence clearly, which was uttered in the language north of the Yellow River in China: "You are wronged!" Although there are only three words, and they are very common three words, but they are also three earth-shattering words! Wrong!A man pays dearly for something he has never done!What is the price to pay? It is very likely that the family was destroyed, and it is very likely that he died under torture. Wrong!Are those who are calling out in other languages ​​also expressing the grievances in their hearts?Is it true that all the grievances of human beings have been turned into voices since the beginning of civilized life, and they are uttered here? Bai Qiwei was gasping for breath. Hearing this kind of continuous screams would drive people crazy. He had no doubts about this. He tried his best to calm himself down. After all, he had received strict Chinese martial arts training. Ability, superhuman. It was quite cold at night, but at this time, his head was already covered with sweat, and the cold sweat was still raging on his back, making him feel like his back was covered with cold strange insects with countless legs. I don't know how long it took, amidst such terrible screams, his composure increased bit by bit under the extremely difficult situation, and finally he was able to turn his neck-this was the first time he heard it. The first action after the scream. He turned his neck so that he faced the source of the call.He found that all the screams came from under the big gap in the river bank.In other words, it came from the place where the great waterfall flowed before he fell asleep. He wasn't even facing the screams, but he already felt such a shock!He couldn't imagine what would happen to him if he was facing the source of the screams. On one side of the gap, it should be a cliff about ten meters high. Why is there such a terrible sound coming out on that cliff?How many people are there?There appeared to be at least a dozen of them.Or is there simply a gap in hell, letting out the cries of the ghosts in hell? The screams come from hell?Or from the world?Such pain and misery should come from the human heart.Only the painful cry from the heart of a person can make another person who hears it feel the resonance of common human emotions. At that time, Bai Qiwei was not only extremely confused in his thoughts, but also had uncontrollable phenomena in his actions. He kept waving his hands, making "clack" sounds involuntarily from his throat, and even murmured unconsciously: "Don't Cry, stop screaming, please, stop screaming, how deep is the pain in the human heart, I will let you all scream out, stop screaming, stop screaming.” At the beginning, he was just muttering, but after a while, although he was trying his best to suppress it, he was still emotionally infected, and he also became yelling. What he yelled was: "Stop yelling, stop yelling." Moreover, he also clearly felt that although the pain, despair, misery and anger in his screams were not as strong as those screams, they were still enough to shock him and break out in more cold sweat. At this time, Bai Qiwei's mind was still awake. He clearly knew that this situation was like facing a powerful hypnosis, and he could still fight against it with his own willpower. The more unfavorable you are, in the end, your emotions will be completely controlled, and you will completely lose yourself. Then, according to Li Ya, you will become a lunatic. Bai Qiwei wanted to control himself not to scream, but he couldn't. He covered his ears tightly with his hands, and kept bouncing around, which was useless at all. Get in through a pore. He really didn't know how long he could last, and how many adventures he had experienced in his life, but this was the one that really made him feel the deepest fear, he didn't even know what he was facing, what No, there is only an invisible, intangible, but real sound, such a terrifying sound made by human vocal organs. Not long after, Bai Qiwei tried his best to make himself stop calling "stop calling", but he still kept calling. He called Bai Su's name and my name because of this. This strange and inexplicable situation reminded him of my many strange experiences, and subconsciously thought that it could be used to fight against it. He really couldn't know how much time had passed, just when he felt that his whole body was about to collapse, about to collapse, and could no longer hold on, all of a sudden, it was more terrifying than the screams he had already yelled. After many shouts, everything fell silent.But that last call made Bai Qiwei so shocked that he couldn't stand anymore. He fell to the ground all of a sudden, and his body twitched violently because of that terrible cry, and he became tightly huddled into a ball. It wasn't until the last scream disappeared completely that Bai Qiwei squeezed his body into a ball and slowly stretched it out as if escaping from death. Every time he moved, his joints made a "crack" sound. . When he finally straightened his body and stood up slowly, he really felt as if he had passed away. It was only then that he thought that if he had fled far away after hearing the first scream, what would have happened? You don't have to suffer more later. However, as soon as the first scream came to his ears, it caused a huge shock. He never thought of this at the time, and, in such a silent night, even if he escaped ten kilometers, he might not be able to escape. You can also hear that cry, how far can he escape in the dark night and the rugged mountain road? He managed to regain his composure, and the courage and guts that had been almost destroyed just now gradually recovered.And when he was almost back to normal, his curiosity increased.At this time, to him, why the flow of the river was so calm at one moment and so turbulent at another was completely unimportant. The important thing is, where did the screams that were so terrifying, so shocking, so insanely painful, and so desperate from the heart come from? He decided to go over to see what happened. The gap on the bank of the river that used to be the Great Waterfall was on the opposite side, and he only needed to wade across the river to reach the cliff that made the sound. And the river water looks very shallow, and you can see the large and small pebbles at the bottom of the river. Moreover, the sky has gradually brightened, and the light will make people more courageous. Bai Qiwei didn't think for long. When the first ray of dawn made the calm river water reflect light, he had already chosen a place where the river bed seemed to be very flat and went into the water. Bai Qiwei has been narrating. From the beginning of his narration, neither Bai Su nor I have any questions to disturb him.But when he said that he started wading across the river to check the source of the screams, I raised my hand and said, "We'll talk later." Bai Qiwei stopped, and I made some meaningless gestures, it was because my thoughts were very disordered. What Bai Qiwei was narrating was completely unfamiliar to me. It was his experience, not mine. However, when he talked about his feelings and reactions after hearing the screams, I felt very familiar.Not only is it very familiar, but it is almost empathetic, as if I have heard such an experience before. However, I have never had the same experience as Bai Qiwei. Why do I feel so familiar with a situation that I have never experienced before? This is really weird, I had to calm down and think about it, so I interrupted Bai Qiwei's narration. But the silence lasted for three to five minutes, and I was still in a state of confusion and couldn't figure it out.Bai Su asked in a low voice: "What are you thinking?" I shook my head and smiled wryly: "I don't know, I just think that when Qiwei mentioned that scream full of despair and grief, I... seem to have heard it before, but I can't be sure." Bai Su and Bai Qiwei looked at each other, obviously they didn't understand what I meant by saying that, in fact, let alone them, even I didn't know what I was talking about, everything, including my thoughts, seemed to be It was carried out in a very trance-like environment, which was unbelievably weird. I thought about it for a while, but still couldn't grasp the center, so I sighed: "Please continue." Bai Qiwei became interested in my words: "You seem to have heard such a scream before? I think it's impossible. If you have heard it, it must be an unforgettable impression in your life, not It might just be a vague feeling." I said: "Yes, this is the strange thing, maybe your description is too vivid, which aroused some associations in me, so I have such a feeling, this situation──" When I say this, I still hesitate, and I have absolutely no definite opinion. But when I mentioned "association", suddenly, as if a very strong light pierced the darkness, the feeling in my heart has always been hazy, and at that moment, it became Incomparably clear: I know why after listening to Bai Qiwei's narration, I have a feeling of déjà vu and even empathy. That wax museum. As soon as I figured this out, I jumped straight up.This sudden action shocked both Bai Su and Bai Qiwei. I was very excited: "The wax museum, the portraits displayed in the four exhibition rooms..." Bai Qiwei was still puzzled: "What does that have to do with what happened to me?" I made up my mind: "At that time, when I visited those portraits, I was greatly shocked. I think those people should make heart-piercing and earth-shattering cries when they face such great grief. .” Bai Su understood what I meant first: "Of course, the showroom is silent." I nodded vigorously: "Although there was no sound in the showroom at the time, I saw the scene on display. Deep in my heart, it seemed to faintly feel the screams of people who were suffering. So, as soon as Qiwei said it, I was familiar with it." The feeling. The scream that Qiwei heard was—" I've said this in one breath, and I can't go on. Originally, I wanted to say that the screams that Bai Qiwei heard were from the portraits displayed in the wax museum. But the absurdity and impossibility of this kind of talk has reached the extreme. First, the wax figure does not make a sound. Second, even if the wax figure can scream, how can the sound be heard in Brazil, which is tens of thousands of kilometers away? Bai Su and Bai Qiwei obviously knew what I hadn't said, so they shook their heads at the same time, expressing that it was impossible. 我吸了一口气：“当然，那不可能，但是两者之间，却不能否认有一定的联系。” 白素纠正了一下我的说法：“你只能说，蜡像院是通过人的视觉，使人的心灵受到极大的震撼，受到无穷无尽，极度悲苦的感染。而大哥的经历，是通过了人的听觉，达到同样的震撼。” 我“嗯”地一声：“正是这样。这种行动，总是由什么人在主持的，他们之间，我想极有可能，有一定程度的联系。” 当我在这样讲的时候，由于心情的紧张和兴奋，声音急促而嘶哑。我感到那怪异的蜡像院，既然推测到可能和几万里之外的怪声有关连，那么，整件事牵涉的范围之广，规模之大，纵横距离之长远，可能远远超乎我们所能设想的之上。 也就是说，那不是一件小事，而是一桩大得不可思议的大事，虽然我一点也不知道那是什么的大事，但只要肯定了这一点，也足以令人悠然神往的了。 白素最了解我的心思，看到了我那种兴奋刺激的神情，瞪了我一眼：“你提及一定有人在主持这种事，假设蜡像院的一切，全是由那个叫米端的人在主持的，那么──” 她讲到这里，转问白奇伟：“大哥是不是也发现了什么主持者呢？” 白奇伟双手托著头，不言不语。 刚才，我在提出了我的想法时，他也和我一样感到兴奋和刺激，可是这时，他的神态却又使人捉摸不透他在想些什么。 过了一会，白奇伟仍然维持著沉思的姿势，开口说话：“水很冷，河底的鹅卵石也很滑，要涉水过河，并不是想像中那么容易……” 水很冷，河底的鹅卵石也很滑，要涉水过河，并不是想像中那么容易，但是白奇伟还是一步一步，向对岸走去，来到河中心部份时，河水已到他的腰际。 这时，他什么也不想，根本不去考虑如果河水一下子又变得湍急起来时，他会有什么结果，他想到的只是一点：要把那些惨叫声的来源，探究出来。 那种惨叫声，曾经如此折磨过他，他非要找出它的来源不可。 他大约花了半小时，才拖著湿淋淋的身子──在水最深的时候，他几乎滑跌了两次，全身也就因此透湿了──走上了对面的河岸。 白奇伟是在那个大缺口的边缘上岸的，一上岸，向下看去，就看到那里的确是一片直上直下的断崖，而在那个大缺口之下的断崖上，有著一个相当大的山洞。 断崖不过十公尺上下的高度，那呈不规则圆形的洞口，直径至少有八公尺。 惨叫声当然是从这个山洞之中传出来的，有了这一个发现，白奇伟自然十分兴奋。 当他昨天面对著这面断崖时，他是看不到这个山洞的，因为自缺口处奔泻而下的瀑布，把这个山洞整个遮住了。 白奇伟立即想到的是，这样的地理环境，倒很有点像“西游记”中的水濂洞──一道大瀑布，遮住了瀑布后面断崖的山洞。 他约略审视了一下地形，开始向下走去。当瀑布存在的时候，断崖下也是一条汹涌的河流，但这时瀑布已然消失，下面也成了一个浅滩，他轻而易举，就来到了那个大洞的洞口前。 这时他心中也不免感到了恐惧。那么可怕的惨叫声，如果这时突然从洞中传了出来，那他真不知道自己是不是能应付得了。 虽然这时四周围都十分安静，山洞之中，更不像会有任何声音发出来。但是昨晚，在第一下惨叫声入耳之前，何尝不是极度的寂静？ 想起昨晚的经历，白奇伟实在心有余悸，他不敢贸然进去，而向位于这种荒僻地区的一个山洞，问“有人吗”，那也近乎滑稽。所以，他拾起了一块拳头大小的石头，向山洞内用力抛了出去。 当他抛出石头之后，他的心情紧张到了极点，屏住了气息，集中精神，准备应付最可怕的变化。 石头抛进了山洞，他听到了石头落地的声音，那一下声响在山洞中激起了回音，传了出来，声音十分响亮，使得他有点吃惊。但是声音很快就静了下来，再也没有异声传出来。白奇伟由于事情实在太诡异，所以他行事也特别小心，连向洞内抛掷了三块石头，又等了半晌，仍然没有异状，他才面对著洞口，吸了一口气，开亮了随身所带的强力电筒，向山洞内走去。他一生之中，曾有过不少冒险的经历，但和这时他向山洞内走去，步步惊心的情形相比较，自然全是不足道的游戏了。他走进山洞之后不久，在强力的手电筒光芒的照耀之下，就已经明瞭了何以石块抛进山洞之后，传出来的回声会异常响亮的原因了。原来那山洞的形状十分奇特，他一进去之后，就觉得自己是向著一个斜面在前进，山洞自入口处起，向山深处伸展，上下左右都在向内收缩。这种情形如果不变的话，那么整个山洞的形状，就是一个巨大无比的圆锥形，而这种形状，是最有利于声波的远传的，所有的传声筒，和早期的发音喇叭，以及乐器中的喇叭全是根据这种形状来设计的。 那也就是说，如果在这个山洞的最深处，有声音发出来的话，就可以通过这个天然的传声形状，传出极远去。 他昨晚在对岸听到的那种惨叫声，是不是由这个山洞的极深处传来的呢？ 一想到这一点，白奇伟又有遍体生寒之感。因为这时，他已经走进了山洞，在山洞深处，如果突然有这种惨叫声传出来，加上山洞四壁的回音，情形一定比昨晚还要恐怖几十倍。 好几次，他几乎想在没有什么变故发生，可以全身而退时，急急转身离开，可是他毕竟是一个十分勇敢的人，尽管心头的恐惧，在一分一分地积聚，可是他还是一步一步向前走著。 在他才一进山洞之际，就已经感到那山洞的四壁相当平滑，并不如一般山洞那样怪石嶙峋。这种平滑，甚至给人以这个山洞是人工开凿出来的感觉。 白奇伟在事后，对于自己能在这样的情形下，仍然坚定地一步一步向前走著，尽管起了好多次退缩的念头，但绝未付诸行动这一点，也感到相当程度的骄傲。 他是数著步数走进去的，在一百五十步之后，电筒的光芒，已照到了山洞的尽头。 由于山洞是圆锥形，一直在向内缩小的，所以到了山洞的尽头时，白奇伟的头，已几乎可以碰到顶上的山壁了。尽头处，是一块看来十分平整的石壁，除非能穿壁而过，不然，再无去路。而一路行来，也没有什么别的发现。 这使得白奇伟有相当程度的失望，因为看来，这只是一个平平无奇的山洞，那些惨叫声是不是由这个山洞传出来的，也是疑问。 在山洞中既然没有发现，再逗留下去，自然也没有意义了。他转过身来，背靠著尽头处的石壁。在这时，他面对著洞口可以看到洞口的光亮，整个人如同置身在一个巨大的传声筒之中一样。 这种情形，令他忽然想起：如果自己这时忽然大叫一声，声音不知道可传出多远？ 他是一个想到就做的人，一想到，立时吸了一口气，张口大叫了一声。 他已预期到了自己的叫喊声，会激起巨大的回声，可是也绝料不到，回声的反应，竟是如此之猛烈，刹那之间，像是有千百个人，立即跟著他在大叫一样，回声的激荡，甚至使他的身子有了摇摆震动的感觉。 在山洞之中的回声，渐渐静下来之际，他还仿佛可以听到自己刚才那一下叫声，正在远远向著山洞口外，传了开去。 白奇伟等到所有的声音全都静下来之际，才吁了一口气，他不敢也不想再试第二次了。 这时，他仍然是紧贴著尽头处的石壁站著的，后脑靠在石壁上，就在他准备起步，走出山洞去的那一刹那，他突然听见，在他的脑后，传来了一下低低的、幽幽的女性叹息声！ 那只是极轻的一下叹息声，可是白奇伟听到了之后，所受到的震荡之大，真是无与伦比！ 他整个人陡地向上弹跳了起来，山洞在尽头处，不会比他的身体高多少，这一跳，使得他的头顶重重撞在洞顶之上。这一下撞击，使得他眼前金星直冒，几乎昏了过去。 而就在这时，他又听到洞口处有声音传了过来，是有人在叫他：“白先生，你在哪里？刚才我听见你的叫声，你在哪里？” 白奇伟在头上奇痛无比，甚至思绪也未能集中之际，依稀辨出，那是李亚在叫他。 他这时也来不及回答，刚才那一下幽幽的叹息声，实在太令人震惊了，他陡然一个转身，先后退了一步，才用电筒向前照去。 前面，依然是一片山壁，刚才那一下叹息声，难道竟是透过了山壁传过来的？他用力在面前的山壁上踢了几下，发出的声音是坚实的。这时，白奇伟真是疑惑之极，难道刚才听到的那一声叹息声，竟然是自己的幻觉？那实在不可能，因为那叹息声虽然低，却可以肯定，是由一个女人发出来的，叹息声倒并不悲苦，而只是充满了无可奈何的落寞，像是一个心境寂寞至极的人所发出来的。那怎可能是幻觉？幻觉怎能给人如此深切的感受？ 不是幻觉，就一定有一个实实在在的人在发出这下叹息声的了。 先别问这个人是什么人，最重要的是：这个人在什么地方？ 白奇伟的气息，不由自主急促起来，这时，洞口又传来了李亚的声音：“白先生，你在山洞之中？我不敢进来，请你快出来。” 李亚的叫声，再加上山洞中轰轰的回声，使得白奇伟心中十分焦躁，他先向洞口回了一句：“你别再叫，我立刻就出来。” 等到他的声音和李亚的声音，全都静了下来之后，白奇伟才定了定神，向著洞壁，用十分低沉的声音道：“我刚才明明听到了你的叹息声，我不知道你是什么人，也不知道你在干什么，更不知道你在哪里，但是我真心诚意，请你和我接触。” 他讲了那番话之后，等了一会，才又道：“用你认为适合的任何方式，和我接触。” 他又等了一会，仍然一点反应也没有，他只好叹了一声：“如果昨晚我听到的那些呼叫声和你有关，那你一定是最了解人类痛苦的人，请考虑我的提议。” 他又耐心地等了十分钟，山洞之中，除了他自己急速的喘息声之外，一点别的声音也没有。 白奇伟转过身去，看到山洞口影影绰绰，像是有人影在晃动，那自然是正在等他出洞的李亚了。 白奇伟心中十分混乱，当他开始向外走去的时候，他还在想，一定要再进这个山洞来探索一番，自然不是空手进来，而是要携带各种可能的工具，例如，那幅山洞尽头处的石壁，就值得钻开来看看，后面是不是有人躲著。 他甚至也想到过，那一下叹息声，会不会根本是石头所发出来的？传说中，有一些石头会发出声音，墨西哥一处沙漠之中，有著名的“哭泣的石块”，会发出类似呜咽的声音。埃及著名的“孟能巨人”，就是石头凿成的，据说是会说话的石像，在记载之中，甚至有说它会哼出小调来的。 白奇伟在杂乱的思绪之中，步出了洞口，早已是阳光普照了，他看到李亚以一种十分讶异、骇然的神情，望定了他。 白奇伟先开口道：“别这样盯著我，我并没有变成疯子。” 李亚有点结结巴巴：“白先生……你昨天晚上，没有听到……鬼哭神号的声音？” 李亚的话，唤醒了白奇伟昨晚那可怕经历的回忆，他不由自主打了一个寒噤：“听到了，那真会使人发疯，幸而我支持下来了。你……也听到了？” 李亚的神情，有点惭愧：“我深信……会有可怕的鬼哭神号声，所以在和大队会合之后，我竭力主张尽可能远远离开，我们扎营在……至少十公里之外，可是……也还是隐约听到了异声……好些人都心惊肉跳，我们要燃著了大堆篝火，大声唱歌、舞蹈、喝酒，来对抗这种异样可怖的声音，白先生，你──” 白奇伟苦笑了一下，指著那洞口：“你早知道这种声音是从这个山洞中发出来的？” 李亚道：“我不能确定，传说是这样讲，所以，从来也没有人敢走进这个山洞去，白先生，你真大胆，今天天没亮我就来找你，听到像是你的声音从山洞中传出来，白先生……快走吧。” 白奇伟定了定神，心想叫李亚帮忙，是不可能的了，其余人也未必肯参加，还是自己独力进行的好，在未曾有新的行动之前，最好对那种“传说”，再有进一步的了解。 他本来对李亚口中的传说，是一点也不相信的，但有了昨晚和刚才的经历之后，他的观念完全改变了。 当他要求李亚再详细告诉他有关传说的一切时，李亚却没有什么更大的补充，只是道：“每当这里出现瀑布之后，就会有可怕的鬼哭神号声传出，时间不一定，或者十年八年一次，或者三、五十年一次。” 白奇伟道：“从来也没有人进洞去探索一下？”李亚叫了起来：“我的天，除了你之外，我们连想也不敢想一下。” 白奇伟道：“我刚才在山洞中停留了不少时间……有了一点小发现，还需要进一步探索，你回大队去，帮我弄点工具来。” 李亚用骇然之极的眼光望著白奇伟，颤声道：“白先生，人的力量是有限的，别……去触犯鬼神。” 白奇伟不想和他在这个问题上纠缠下去，喝道：“照我的话去做，我要一部发电机、一个风钻、一台录音机，还要……” 白奇伟陆续地说出了他要的东西：“你告诉队里，我可能在这里耽搁几天，会赶上大队的。” 李亚虽然答应著，但神情还是极度迟疑，白奇伟一再要他走，他才留下了一些食物离去。 李亚离去之后，白奇伟在洞口，狼吞虎咽地把食物吞下肚去，他其实一点食欲也没有，进食只为了维持足够的体力而已。 他一直面对山洞坐著，这时，他已经有一种莫名的第六感，感到在那山洞之中，随时可能有人走出来，这是一种十分虚幻的感觉，当时他何以会有这样的感觉，连他自己也说不上来。 在等待李亚再回来的期间，他又进了那山洞两次，一直来到尽头，伸手拍打著那块石壁，然后又退出来等李亚来。李亚在三小时之后，才带了几个人，把白奇伟所要的东西送了来。 李亚仍然以十分忧虑的神情望著白奇伟，白奇伟又好气又好笑，指著那山洞：“这山洞不会超过二百公尺深，里面乾净得很，什么也没有。” 李亚有他自己的看法：“既然什么也没有，还有什么可以探索的？” 白奇伟道：“山洞尽头处，好像有点……古怪，我想钻开一点看看。” 李亚面如土色，又望了白奇伟半晌，想来他知道再劝也没有用，所以长叹一声：“白先生，多保重。” 那几个搬运东西来的，全是雇用的当地土人，那些人说什么也不肯走近山洞口，离洞口至少还有三十公尺，就把所有的东西放了下来，然后，像是背后有一群马蜂在追逐一样，奔了开去，奔出了老远，才停了下来，远远看著。 白奇伟走向他们，想问问他们这个山洞的情形，可是所有的土人，只是神情骇然地摇头，没有一个肯说一句话的，弄得白奇伟有点啼笑皆非。 靠著李亚的帮忙，把搬来的东西，全都移到了洞口，李亚带著人离去，白奇伟先发动了发电机，然后接上了有相当长电线的一盏强烈射灯，推著射灯的支架，把射灯推进山洞去。 那射灯的光芒，极其强烈，比起手电筒来，自然不可同日而语，山洞之中，登时大放光明，他又带了电钻进去，一直来到了将近山洞的尽头处。 白奇伟才固定了射灯，射向尽头处的那块石壁，然后，双手托起了电钻，对准了那块石壁。 他已经预料到，电钻一开动，发出的声响，在这种形状的山洞之中，一定会发出震耳欲聋的回声，所以他也已早有了心理准备，先深深地吸了一口气。就在他的手指准备按下电钻的启动掣之际，忽然，在他的身后，又传来一下低低的叹息声。 必须把白奇伟这时在山洞中的情形，写得详细一些，才会对接下来发生的事，有较有条理的了解。 白奇伟这时，是面对著山洞尽头处的石壁的，射灯的光芒，在他身后大约二十公尺处向前射来，使他可以把那块石壁，看得清清楚楚。 而那下叹息声，在他的身后传来，和他第一次听到同样的叹息声时，处境有点不同。 （他一听到那声低低的叹息声，立即就可以肯定两声叹息声，是同一个人发出来的。） 他第一次听到那怪异的叹息声之际，是背靠著那块石壁的，而这一次，他却是面对著石壁的，忽然之间听到身后又有叹息声传来，白奇伟第一个反应，自然是立即转过身去。 他一转过身，就发现情形对自己极其不利。 因为一转过身，射灯的强烈光芒，就直射向他，而在强光之下，他几乎睁不开眼来。也就在那一刹那间，当他眯著眼，尽力和强光对抗之际，他看到了就在射灯之前，有一个相当高挑颀长的人站著，从窈窕的身形来看，那显然是一个女性。 陡然之间，发现有人出现在山洞之中，白奇伟真是又惊又喜。可是那人站在射灯前面，背对著光，白奇伟却是面对著强光，那情形，就像是面对面被人用手电筒照射在脸上一样，白奇伟只能依稀看到有一个人站在那里，至于这个人是什么样子的，自然一点也看不清楚。 而他，则整个人都暴露在强光之下，对方一定可以将他看得清清楚楚。 白奇伟一看到有人，立时向前跨出了一步，可是这时，由于他心中的惊奇、惶乱，震动，他一步跨了出去，脚在电钻的电线上绊了一下，一个站不稳，手中又拿著沉重的大型电钻，所以竟然向前摔了出去，重重地摔倒在地上，若不是他在跌出之前，先机警地把电钻抛了开去，沉重的电钻，若是砸在他的身上，非受重伤不可。 饶是如此，这一跤还是摔得不轻。跌一跤，以白奇伟的身手，自然不当一回事，可是却摔得狼狈之极，当他立时一跃而起之际，只听到那女人又发出了一下叹息声，而且居然用十分动听而低沉的声音问：“唉，你想做什么？” 很简单的一句话，语调十分真挚，有著几分责备，也有著几分关切。 当白奇伟乍见到有人的时候，由于昨晚可怕的经历，自然而然，对这个突然出现的人怀有敌意，因为一切实在是太不可思议了。 然而，就在那句问话一入耳之后，他十分自然地吁了一口气，本来极其紧张的心情，陡然放松，而且一切来得那么自然，仿佛那个在眼前出现的人，是自己相识已久的亲人，根本不需要对她有任何敌意。 他抬直了身子，盯著前面，仍然看不清对方的样子，他问：“你是谁？” 对方并没有回答，白奇伟又向前走去，但他只跨出了一步，那女人又用十分柔软亲切动听的声音道：“请留在原来的位置上，我们或许还能交谈一下，你要是再走近我，连交谈的机会都没有了！” 白奇伟一时之间，不是很明白她这样说是什么意思，但是那种语调，有一股教人自然想听从她的话的力量。白奇伟心中的感觉绝不是被命令，而是感到是在接受一种恳求，使他觉得做为一个男性，有责任去接受那么温柔的恳求，一种来自女性的恳求！ 他真的站著不再向前走，可是他还是道：“那太不公平了，我一点也看不清你，你却可以把我看得清清楚楚！”那女人又短叹了一下（她十分喜欢叹息，几乎一句话之前，都有不同韵调的咏叹，这使她的话，听来也更加动人），道：“世上有什么事是公平的，请举一个例子来听听！” 白奇伟楞了一楞，一时之间，还真举不出什么例子来，他道：“你是什么人？昨天晚上那种几乎令人疯狂的声音，是你弄出来的？” 那女人又是一声长叹：“声音是一直存在的，只不过由于水流陡然加大，形成了瀑布，瀑布的流泻，产生了大量阴电子，使得空气的结构起了变化，使得本来人的耳朵听不见的声音，变成听得见了。” 白奇伟用心地捕捉著对方所说的每一个字。这时，他有点心神恍惚，有点不能肯定，自己究竟是在听那女人讲的话，还是只在听她的声音。 但无论如何，那女人所说的每一个字，他都听见了，可是以他的见识，这一番话，他也无法彻底明白是什么意思。 所以，等那女人讲完之后，他呆了一会：“你还没有告诉我，你是什么人，或者，至少让我看一看你，你在这里干什么？” 他一口气问了好几个问题，可是对方一个也没有回答，只是道：“我也不问你是谁，赶快离开这里吧！人类最愚蠢的行为之一，就是喜欢做自己做不到的事。听我说，赶快离开！” 白奇伟忙道：“我可以离开，可是──” 他自然想进一步弄清楚许多事，可是他答应可以离开，却也是由衷的。他一面说，一面急急向前走出了两步，而就在这时，他听到了一下轻微的“啪”的一声，射灯被熄掉了。 射灯的光芒十分强烈，而且一直正面照射著他，如今灯光骤然熄灭，他在那一刹那间，变得什么也看不见，眼前只有一团团红色和绿色的幻影，在黑暗中飞舞。他立时站定了不久，却听得一下令人心碎的长叹声，正自近而远，在迅速离去。 白奇伟只能说他肯定发出叹息声的人在迅速离去，而无法确切地感觉出她是在向什么方向离去。 他发起急来，叫道：“你别走。” 他的叫声，在山洞中激起了巨大的回声，他一面叫，一面双手挥舞著，虽然在什么都看不见的情形下，还是急速向前奔著，不一会，他就碰到了射灯的支架，而且将之推倒。 射灯的灯泡，在支架倒地之际破裂，发出的炸裂声，简直就像一颗小炸弹爆炸一样。 白奇伟定了定神，先闭上眼睛一会，在灯泡炸裂声所引起的回声静止之后，他才睁开眼来。 光线从洞口射进来，自然不是很明亮，但至少也可以肯定一点，山洞之中，除他之外，别无他人。那女人已离开山洞了。白奇伟当时想到的只是：这女人行动好快，一定要快点追出去，不然，就可能追不上了。 所以，他不再理会倒下的支架，一跃而过，向山洞口奔去。 他用极快的速度，奔出了山洞，可是站在洞口，四面看去，一片静寂，哪里有半分人影。 一切是那么平静，白奇伟真疑心刚才听到的声音，看到的人，全是自己的幻觉。 然而，声音、人影可以是幻觉，射灯的突然熄灭，总不会是幻觉吧。 白奇伟登上了一处地形较高处，四面看看，仍然不见有人，他就开始大叫：“不论你躲在什么地方，我都要把你找出来。” 白奇伟当时这样叫的时候，对于把那个女人找出来，确实深具信心，认为那至多不过是一场规模较大的捉迷藏游戏而已。 可是在三天之后，白奇伟精疲力尽，双眼之中，布满了红丝，声音嘶哑，还是在他三天之前，口发豪语之处，叫出了完全不同的另外几句话：“你在哪里，请你再现身和我相见一次。” 当然，不论他口发豪语也好，哀求恳告也好，一点回音都没有。 白奇伟叙述到这里，停了下来。 我和白素两人，骇然互望。 当他在事先说明，他的经历，有很多地方，全然不明所以，他根本不知道发生什么事之际，我们再也想不到，事情竟然怪异到这种程度。如果换了一个人，对我们叙述这种荒诞的经历，我们一定不会相信，可是，有这样经历的人是白素的哥哥，一个极有知识的人。 白奇伟的神情茫然，我见他半晌不出声，就问：“以后呢？以后怎么样？” 白奇伟
