The old man seemed to have noticed the awkwardness of the conversation. He coughed dryly and said, "Of course what I just said is not the point. The point I want to talk about is still behind.
I said in my heart: "My grandfather, I beg you, you should hurry up and talk about the real point, don't sell it anymore."
The old man coughed dryly, and said, "Well, what I want to talk about is actually a very serious matter. This matter is a very simple matter when it is small, that is, I actually wanted it from the beginning. I told you."
"Yunenen." I nodded quickly, "What is it?"
The old man looked mysterious: "In fact, I am not only the uncle of the library, I am also the uncle of the plumbing factory ten years ago!"
I:"… "
Haven't my forty-centimeter big knife been out for a long time
When I heard the old gentleman say this, the astonished expression on my face resurfaced again.
I just want to ask in my heart, so what does it matter to me that you used to be the uncle of the water pipe factory and you are now the uncle of the library? What I want to know is not this at all, sir!
I looked at the old gentleman in front of me speechlessly, and suddenly I didn’t know how to answer his next words. The old gentleman seemed to have noticed that his own answer made me a little dissatisfied, but he did not show it like just now. Anyone is embarrassed, but rather calmly said: "The reason why I want to tell you this is actually very serious. I just want to tell you that you don't want to know one thing. This is just foreshadowing."
I asked weakly: "So is the preparation finished?"
"Almost, the next thing is indeed very important." After the old man said this, he suddenly stopped and stared at me.
There was a thud in my heart. Frankly speaking, I don’t know what the old gentleman is talking about, but his state at this moment makes me feel that he is talking to me very seriously, and I have to understand it. What he is talking about can lay a certain foundation for the next actions.
I spoke against the old man and said, "If the old man has anything, please tell me directly, I will listen to him with good ears."
As if feeling my sincerity, the old gentleman nodded silently and said: "Do you believe what I said? Do you think I am telling the truth or just saying it casually? If it is replaced by someone else's words, it may already be. Think of me as a lunatic, but you are still here. I have to say that you really surprised me."
I looked at the old man and said, "If you can tell me the truth, then I will believe it." I also said this very firmly, and then looked at the old man.
The old man seemed to be moved by me, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
But from the beginning to the end, Yin Shaodong looked at this scene, his face was getting worse and worse.
Yin Shaodong had a very intuitive feeling in his heart. He felt that this thing was completely different from what he thought, because he always felt a little strange. He felt that the old gentleman in front of him was very strange, a bit unlike a normal human being. , But he couldn't detect what was strange about him, so Yin Shaodong remained silent from beginning to end.
From beginning to end, I always wanted to inquire about something from the old gentleman, but Yin Shaodong was different. Yin Shaodong just stared at the old gentleman vigilantly and did not make any remarks from beginning to end.
The old man looked at me and said, "I must tell you another thing now. What do you think of this place if you look around?"
Hearing the old gentleman's words, I looked around and found that the surrounding area was desolate, even exuding a foul smell.
Especially the black and smelly water ditch in front of me is too smelly.
I said, "To be honest, the environment here is simply terrible. It is not a place where humans can live, or where any organisms can live. The pollution here is really too serious. This may be the process of industrialization. A fatal blow to this city."
I paused and continued: "After all, in such a region, people's environmental awareness can't keep up with the awareness they want to develop."
Although I haven't conducted a professional investigation on these matters too much, I still understand the basic development of this society. This is the Dongcheng District of Anlin. I have already talked about it before. Dongcheng District was a backward place before. , That is, it has only developed rapidly in the past ten years. Since it has developed rapidly, it must have made a great price at the expense of the natural environment in the process of development. Therefore, it is very difficult for the environment to become bad here. Good thing.
Hearing what I said, the old gentleman nodded silently and said: "You are very correct. What I want to tell you is that ten years ago, this place was a very good place, green mountains and green waters, in front of you. This smelly ditch was still a clear river ten years ago. The water there is so clear that you can even see fish and crabs."
When I heard the old gentleman say this, I glanced at the black and smelly ditch in shock, and there was really no way to associate it with a clear river. Not to mention fish and crabs.
I looked at the old man and said, "So in the past ten years this river has been polluted because of the industrial development here?" I asked.
At the same time, I was wondering about such a thing, why did the old man want to tell me such a thing
Damn it! He won't belong to the Environmental Protection Association, right? I won't find the wrong person, am I
The old gentleman looked at me, shook his head silently, and said: "Your statement just now is not accurate enough. If it is more accurate, the reason why this river has become like this is purely because it was built here ten years ago. The plumbing factory in ."
When I heard the old gentleman say this, my eyes froze for a moment, and I suddenly understood why the old gentleman brought me here, it really matters.
I looked at the old man and said, "So what do you want to tell me?"
The old man turned his head and stared at me.
I don't know why, after being stared at by the old gentleman, a chill suddenly appeared on my back.
"Why, what's the matter?" I shivered.
"I told you before that the door of the factory will close by itself." The old gentleman lowered his voice.
"Yes, yeah..." I murmured, "What then?"
"But it doesn't look like this under normal circumstances, you know, I also know." The old man continued.
I:"… "
I swallowed: "Well, I just mentioned this question."
"But what happened is really true." The old gentleman's conversation turned, and his voice suddenly became gloomy and cold.
I:"… "
Uncle! I beg you! Finish talking in one go!
Seeing my horrified expression, the old man suddenly retracted his facial expression, and saw that he took two deep breaths and slowly spit out a word from his mouth.
"The factory is haunted."
Me: "... What do you know?"
"The workers in the factory were poisoned because they brought hot water back from the factory every day when they left work. But the water in the factory was contaminated with heavy metals, so after they brought the hot water back to drink, they all brought hot water back from the factory. Poisoned." The old gentleman said tremblingly.
Me: "...Why did you bring water back from the factory?"
"That’s why you don’t know it. It hasn’t been developed before. It’s not an urban area at all. It can only be regarded as a suburb or a rural area. The hot water resources of each household are not so perfect. Everyone brings water from their own factory.” The old man explained.
"That's it." I nodded and finally understood.
"And then?" I asked, continuing to stare at the old man, "Why is it haunted?"
"There were a few workers whose gastroesophageal poisoning was too contaminated, and they had serious illnesses. After their family members went to the hospital, they found out that it was a water quality problem. So the family members came to the factory to find the director of the factory.
"and then?"
"Then the factory director refused compensation and responsibility on the grounds that the water in the factory was not for you to drink. There was a dispute between the two parties, and the factory director called someone and started a hand with his family. Several family members were killed." The old gentleman said tremblingly.
Me: "... What am I?! I missed my hand and killed several?"
"Sigh." The old gentleman sighed heavily, "So, maybe it wasn't a miss at all."
"..." I remained silent and did not speak.
After a while, the old man continued: "The matter is not over yet."
I nodded: "I know, then what happened."
"Among the workers who were killed, there was a couple. They had a daughter who was in college. After the daughter learned of the bad news about her parents, she came to the factory alone to find the factory manager to reason. Unsurprisingly, the factory manager was a ruthless man. People of heart, the two sides had a dispute, and the female college student was once in danger." The old gentleman's voice was trembling.
"At this time, the factory door suddenly closed." The old man was shaking. "Then I heard a terrifying shout from inside. I was standing outside the door and opened it hard, but couldn't hit it. Open. After a long time... the door suddenly opened by myself! Then there was no one in the factory, only the female college student walked out slowly."
The old man was quiet after speaking.
Me: "..." (End of this chapter)
