Chapter 8 In-depth
Yes, the bright colors are gone, as if the shallow puddle filled with small fish and the weeds filled with dragonflies have become dilapidated in an instant.
The whole sky should have been blue, but at that moment it seemed to be covered by gray fog. We were in such a fog, and there seemed to be a sneer coming from an unknown place.
This feeling suffocated me and made me shudder one after another, so that what Zhao Yong was saying? I didn't hear it clearly at all.
Zhou Zheng patted me, and the temperature in my palm made my cold body feel a little angry, and then he completely came to his senses.
Everything just now seemed to be just my illusion. The "park" we just 'sloppy' is still vivid. A dragonfly stopped on the grass leaf, and the grass leaf trembled slightly, as if telling me that this is the reality?
"What do you think?" At this time, Zhao Yong seemed to have said something and was asking for everyone's opinions.
I didn't respond at all because I didn't hear clearly what he was talking about. It was not until Chen Chong asked me and Zhou Zheng with a hesitant look that I couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong?"
"Zhao Yong said, let us go inside with him and help me a little, and I will give each of us 50 cents." Zhou Zheng has excellent logical ability since childhood, so he briefly told me what Zhao Yong said.
50 cents? For the children of our era, this is simply a huge sum of money because of ten milk popsicles, two and a half stickers, and all kinds of things we long for.
It is fake to say that you are not moved, and then how can a child think of so many things? But the only doubtful thing in the whole thing is Zhao Yong's character.
At that time, I could already memorize the multiplication table of ninety-nine. At least I knew that there were nine of us here. Zhao Yong would have to pay 4.5 yuan for each of them to give 50 cents. That was simply an unimaginable "huge sum". Can he take it out?
Obviously, my concern is the concerns of Chen Chong and Zhou Zheng. We don’t think Zhao Yong would let us do anything bad? What bad things can we do in this abandoned factory area?
So, Chen Chong asked: "Can you really give it to us?"
Zhao Yong glanced at Chen Chong and said, "What I came out to talk about is a kind of loyalty. Whether I understand the loyalty or not is the only thing I can say! If there is not something big to do, can I ask you cowards to help? If you don't help, get out of here, but you must dare to tell me your secrets at school in the future, just wait for you to be beaten every day."
After saying that, Zhao Yong was waiting for our decision.
On the one hand, there is a temptation of 50 cents, and on the other hand, it is a secret threatening the school to clean up the factory and mine. Who and who are not acquaintances in our factory and mine? That is a very clear and clear choice that cannot be avoided. Fools will choose, and the energetic children at the age of 6 and 7 are not fools. Soon, someone hesitated to walk towards Zhao Yong.
With one person taking the lead, the other children walked towards Zhao Yong one after another, and even the two little girls were like this. After all, they still felt that it was better to have a lot of people and followed them.
Yes, I have fear of this place, but children are naturally curious, and the children’s view of right and wrong is not so clear and direct, and their yearning for 50 cents is also a huge reason.
A satisfied smile appeared on Zhao Yong's face for only a minute or two, and all except the three of us walked over.
Actually, I think Chen Chong and Zhou Zheng also wanted to go there, but because I didn't move, they were embarrassed to leave my little scum behind and move back and forth at my feet even more anxiously, but it was just a dog that couldn't speak, and it was ignored at this time.
I also want to go. Five cents or something is a temptation, but more so, so many people have given me some kind of courage, and I want to go in and take a look.
Seeing that the three of us were not moving, and with my previous confrontation with him, Zhao Yong seemed too lazy to talk nonsense to me. Perhaps he didn't want to give us the three of us the chance. He just looked at us with contempt and said, "Yes, don't go, coward."
Chen Chong was most annoying to others about him being a coward. When Zhao Yong was so excited, he was excited and shouted: "Who do you think is a coward?"
Zhao Yong compared a little finger to the three of us, then turned around and left. The meaning was obvious. Chen Chong was so angry that he couldn't say a word. My passion suddenly rushed to the top of my forehead and said, "Who said we are cowards, let's go too."
That's it. It seemed like I made this decision by chance, but it was inevitable!
Impulsively, I pulled Zhou Zheng and Chen Chong up and walked towards Zhao Yong and the others quickly. Xiao Zha suddenly stopped me. At this time, I didn't care and said to Xiao Zha again: "If you don't follow me, just go home and wait for me."
After saying that, he bypassed the little scum and walked towards Zhao Yong and the others again. At this time, the little gangster next to Zhao Yong whistled loudly and said, "This is really rare. Dogs can block the road, can they respond to the timid dog, right? Haha."
His words attracted unscrupulous ridicule from Zhao Yong and the other two. My face turned red. I thought Xiaozha was very brave. Once, I met a grass snake on the way to school. Xiaozha rushed up and drove away without hesitation.
"Xiaozha is not a timid dog, Xiaozha, keep up!" I said loudly. At this time, Xiaozha who was still standing there finally followed.
No one can know that a dog will be helpless. It was also at this moment when I was about to die that I saw my memories that I realized how helpless and unrestrained the little scum at that time was.
After we finally followed Zhao Yong into the abandoned factory area and just walked through a abandoned factory building, I felt the coldness here!
There are still weeds, but it is no longer as vibrant as it is. What we are greeted here are not dragonflies, tadpoles, or small fish, but one or two gray-black geckos, jumping toads, and big catfishes that come from nowhere in the water puddle!
The catfish, which is not tempting at all, makes people feel fierce. I have been afraid of spiders since I was a child. After entering here, my scalp was numb and I saw several spiders with big belly, the size of a palm, quickly crawling past the wall.
If a lot of poisons such as spiders, toads, centipedes, etc. appear in one place, according to Taoism, it means that there is a heavy yin energy in that place. After all, they like yin.
But how could I know about this at that time? I just felt that it was very bad that there was indescribable depression and coldness between the dilapidated factory buildings!
I started sneezing, and Chen Chong and Zhou Zheng were also the same. Before, we were playing in the water unscrupulously in that small puddle. Now we naturally felt cold. After all, the most direct reaction in places with heavy yin energy is that the temperature is lower than that in normal places around us. The reactions of the three of us can only explain the problem, but the same sentence is still said? Who knows?
I was thinking, if I came back many years later, the huge abandoned factory area here becomes so yin, the horror I have to consider will not only be the problem of "aggressive ghosts", but there may be even more terrifying existences!
But this shadow of memory undoubtedly wrote this place with the three most terrifying words in my memory. Even without the advice of my master, I would not have the courage to explore it again. Who would have thought that many years later, this place would become a large warehouse? It is full of some unknown mystery?
Zhao Yong and the two gangsters seemed to be very familiar with this place, and took us through the path between the factory buildings, walking through the weeds filled with geckos, toads, and spiders.
Chen Chong saw that he saw a large, gray snake that was so scared that he pulled Zhou Zheng and I and swallowed a few saliva, but he didn't dare to make a statement. At this time, any movement could strongly stimulate our sensitive hearts.
I don’t know where we went. It seems that the gap between the factory buildings has become darker, and there is a kind of darkness that raises dust all over the sky!
It feels like walking through a maze of depression and terror, surrounded by dark and dilapidated walls covered with dusty spider webs. I can’t tell where it is?
At this time, a little timid little girl couldn't help but start crying. Zhao Yong first glared at her, but he didn't expect the little girl to cry even more, and shouted, "I miss my mother, I want to go home."
"Okay, I want to go back and get back by myself. Those who want to go back will go back by themselves. I don't have time to send anyone out now. Otherwise, just wait here and wait for us to come out." Zhao Yong was upset by the little girl's crying, pushed her a little, and then shouted at everyone who was equally timid: "All those who want to leave with me will follow me, and if you say you will give me 50 cents, you will get 50 cents!"
At this time, 50 cents were not tempting at all. The key is that, who remembers the way home when you were wearing everything? Besides, stay here? I saw a toad jumping in the weeds and felt goose bumps on my back. This was obviously not a good idea.
But I couldn't bear to cry and walked over and took her hand helplessly, saying, "You follow us, wait and we'll go home together."
With a little support, the little girl stopped crying. Obviously, she must not dare to go out by herself, or the ruthlessness of the memories that remained here is that you will know later that maybe you have the courage to go out, or stay here is a very beautiful choice compared to the later.
