When Zhou Jiayu heard Lin Zhushui's words, he vaguely felt something in his heart. He was about to speak, but someone beside him groaned. He looked carefully, but Shen Yiqiong also woke up.
"Who am I, where am I." Shen Yiqiong leaned against the wall and covered his head with his hands.
"You wake up when you're poor." Zhou Jiayu said, "What did you dream about?"
Shen Yi was in a daze, seeing Zhou Jiayu saying, "Why did you turn white and come back? Didn't you get as dark as me?"
Zhou Jiayu: "..." Shen Yiqiong, is your dream going too far
After observing the surrounding situation, Zhou Jiayu found that they were still in the original tunnel. The previous kerosene lamps and earthen walls were gone, and the surrounding was a modern atmosphere.
And not far from them, was the gap where the workers squeezed themselves into, Zhou Jiayu said, "Sir, what are we trapped in?" Xiao Zhi was in his arms, Peeking through the gap and looking inside, its body was originally flat, and it would be easy to squeeze in if it really wanted to, but Zhou Jiayu was worried that it would be in danger in the gap, so he didn't plan to let it in.
"Yeah." Lin Zhushui said, "This tunnel has not been cleaned up. There is a corpse pit under our feet. After the construction started, the breath in the corpse pit leaked out, which caused hallucinations."
Zhou Jiayu moved in his heart and said, "Illusion? What kind of illusion?"
Lin Zhushui said: "In the hallucination, there is something you long for most, which will lure people into that gap."
Hearing this, Zhou Jiayu reacted for two seconds, and his eyes widened instantly. At this moment, he suddenly realized what the hidden meaning of Lin Zhushui's words just now.
"Sir..." Zhou Jiayu was about to say something, and remembered that other people around him had woken up one after another. It seems inappropriate to say this here.
After Lin Jue woke up, her expression did not look relaxed, instead she seemed a little silent. She didn't speak, and just sat quietly on the ground in a daze.
Yu Xiaomian and Yu He also woke up one after another. As soon as Yu He woke up, he thanked Lin Zhushui and thanked Mr. Lin for his help.
Lin Zhushui shook his head and said nothing.
After listening to Yu Heng's words, Zhou Jiayu realized that each of them had a talisman attached to their chests, which seemed to guarantee that although they would enter the environment, they would not be tempted by the illusion, like the construction workers in the tunnel. The deep gap in front of him.
"Dig down." Lin Zhushui said, "It's best to start construction as soon as possible."
Yu He nodded and said yes, saying that he would tell the person in charge to start the construction as soon as possible tomorrow, and also asked if any preparations were needed when the construction started.
"I will be there." Lin Zhushui said, "There should be some changes in the corpse."
Yu Heng said yes.
This night, they seemed to have nothing to gain, so they had a strange dream, but Lin Zhushui said that what they saw in the dream was what they longed for. Zhou Jiayu's heartbeat has been very fast. , for a while I wonder if Lin Zhushui is implying something, and then I think that I am thinking too much. If I rashly express my mind, if it is a misunderstanding, he and Lin Zhushui may not even be able to master and apprentice. A mess.
In the state of others, Shen Yiqiong is the best. He didn't know what he was dreaming. When he came out, he was in high spirits. He walked and hummed a song.
Yu Xiaomian said, "Why are you so happy?"
Shen Yiqiong said, "Because I realized my dream." But he refused to tell others what he dreamed.
Zhou Jiayu said what he had said before contacting him, and strongly suspected that all of them had turned black in Shen Yiqiong's dream.
Lin Jue was very silent all the way, and didn't say a word when she got into the car. It was only when she was about to arrive at the hotel that the worry in her eyes disappeared.
Seeing her like this, it's not easy to ask anything. When eating in the hotel, Zhou Jiayu found a chance to ask her if she was okay.
"It's okay." Lin Jue said, "I just dreamed of an old man."
Her expression clearly indicated that the so-called old man had an unusual relationship with her, but Zhou Jiayu didn't ask much about such private matters, so he could only change the subject.
Yu Heng quickly determined the time to start the construction, saying that the machine would be sent in tomorrow afternoon to continue digging holes and dig out the bones that Lin Zhushui mentioned.
That night, Zhou Jiayu had insomnia. He tossed and turned in bed. All he thought about was Lin Zhushui's sentence "I saw you too."
"Am I thinking too much? Or is that what Mr. means?" There was no one around him to talk to, so Zhou Jiayu had to chat with Jiba.
Jiba lay lazily on top of the turtle shell, with a look of lack of energy: "Well, do you remember when you first came, I spoke to you?"
Zhou Jiayu said, "What?"
Jiba said: "You really forgot, this is very important." It tilted his head and said seriously, "You are here to save Lin Zhushui's life."
Zhou Jiayu said, "Save?"
Jiba said, "Yes."
Zhou Jiayu became anxious when he heard it: "What will happen to Mr.?"
Jiba said: "It may or may not come out, with you and without you, Lin Zhushui's fate is different." It said, "Numerology is full of variables, maybe you know one more person, Destiny will change because of this, you and Lin Zhushui are a pair made in heaven and earth."
Zhou Jiayu couldn't help being a little happy when he heard Jiba say this. He said, "What do you mean, if I'm with my husband, maybe my husband will escape the disaster? Does that gentleman like me?"
Jiba said: "Wow, you are too scary, I'm just a bird who has never been in love, I don't know what Lin Zhushui thinks. But don't be too anxious about this, in case you misunderstand Lin Zhu The meaning of water, isn't it embarrassing?"
Zhou Jiayu: "..." Jiba made a lot of sense. He was discouraged, lying on the bed and softened into a dried salted fish.
Seeing him like this, Jiba comforted him: "Don't be too pessimistic, there are so many disciples of Lin Zhushui, you can see which one is special like you."
Zhou Jiayu thought to himself, are you hitting me or encouraging me, do I want to confess? If my confession is unsuccessful, will I be kicked out? If my confession is successful, can I really be with Lin Zhushui
The more he thought about it, the more irritable, Zhou Jiayu couldn't sleep, so he simply got up and went to the balcony to smoke. When he got to the balcony, he found that Lin Jue, who lived next to him, didn't sleep. He was also sitting on the balcony and seemed to be drinking something. When he saw him coming out, he smiled and greeted him: "Yo, haven't you slept yet?"
"Well." Zhou Jiayu said, "I can't sleep."
Lin Jue snorted and didn't ask him why he couldn't sleep.
It was the first time that Zhou Jiayu saw such a tired expression on Lin Jue's face. In his impression, Lin Jue had always been as bright as a sunflower. She was rare in this appearance, so it was especially distressing.
"Master, are you in a bad mood?" Zhou Jiayu asked.
"It's okay." Lin Jue said, "Want to have a drink together?"
Zhou Jiayu thought about it for a while and agreed. He also has moments of depression. At this time, having two drinks with someone he knows can really ease the depression in his heart.
Pour half a glass of beer, fill a small glass with whiskey, and then sink the small glass into the large glass, which is the famous depth charge. Zhou Jiayu has been to a bar, but he has never tried such a drinking method. The purpose of this drinking method is obviously to get drunk, but looking at the wine bottle beside Lin Jue, it is obvious that he has drank more than two or three glasses.
Zhou Jiayu was a little worried, but he didn't know how to persuade.
Lin Jue saw his embarrassment, smiled slightly, and said, "I'm actually thirty-five this year."
Zhou Jiayu was slightly surprised: "Really, if I only look at the appearance, I might think that the uncle is the younger sister of the husband."
"My mouth is so sweet and so cute." Lin Jue smiled. She said, "I went out to travel independently at the age of twenty-four, met the love of my life, talked with him for six years, and then was left behind."
With a little drunk, Lin Jue talked about her emotional history, she said: "Emotions are really limited, you spend too much on the same person, and when you put it on other people, you lose it. It's not fair to them, and it's not fair to me, to miss out on the favorite and everyone after that will be compared."
Zhou Jiayu's emotional experience was blank, and he couldn't give any advice on what Lin Jue said, so he could only listen and sip the liquor in front of him lightly.
"But some things can't be both." Lin Jue said, "What did you dream about?"
Zhou Jiayu said: "I..." His voice was lower, hesitating whether to give the answer.
Lin Jue giggled when she saw this, her eyes were actually red: "I know what you dreamed about, it's good, it's good..." She drank the drink in front of her, "I dreamed that I was married, Wearing the custom-made white wedding dress at the time, he asked me if I wanted to marry him, and I said yes."
Zhou Jiayu's heart was sour, he said, "Master..."
Lin Jue said, "But it was a dream." She sighed, "It was a dream."
There were few words, but what Zhou Jiayu saw in Lin Jue's eyes was an indescribable pain. She was drinking wine and telling stories, but every word was like a sharp blade that cut through the flesh.
"So." Lin Jue said, "Don't hesitate so much about some things. Be brave. God always prefers brave people." She had a smile on her face, but her eyes were red.
Zhou Jiayu said yes.
That night, Zhou Jiayu drank with Lin Jue for a long time, and he didn't know how he got back in the end.
When I woke up the next day, my mind went blank. After sitting on the bed for a while, I realized that someone was knocking on the door.
"Zhou Jiayu, Zhou Jiayu, are you still alive?" Shen Yiqiong's voice came from outside the door. He stared at the door with a bang, as if he might slam into the door at any time.
"I'm still alive." Zhou Jiayu covered his head in pain. The worst part of the hangover was his head. He felt like he was floating when he walked. He went to open the door. A big jump: "What's wrong with you Zhou Jiayu? Your face looks so bad?" He sniffed, "Also full of alcohol... Wow, where did you go last night?"
Zhou Jiayu said, "Where can I go with my physique?"
"That's right." Shen Yiqiong said, "It is estimated that your body will be cold the next day if you go out for a supper with your constitution, but if you don't go out, you will smell alcohol all over your body."
"It's okay." Zhou Jiayu thought of Lin Jue's fragile appearance last night, and decided to hide it for her, "I just found some wine to drink."
"Then hurry up." Shen Yiqiong said, "They have to go to the scene to watch the digging, so you are the only one missing."
Zhou Jiayu nodded.
He quickly finished washing up, but the dizziness of the hangover still existed. Zhou Jiayu kept his blue face and went downstairs, only to see Lin Jue standing at the door and talking to Lin Zhushui.
Some people's alcohol consumption is really a mystery. Lin Jue killed at least several times as much alcohol as Zhou Jiayu last night, but he looked bright for a few days. I don't know if it was makeup or something. , The complexion is ruddy and shiny, as if several catties of wolfberry were added to the wine.
"Yo, can." She also greeted Zhou Jiayu, "Are you up?"
Zhou Jiayu said, "Well..."
Lin Jue said, "Alas, your drinking problem is a bit big. You have to practice in the future."
Shen Yiqiong heard the conversation between the two: "Hey, did you drink together last night?"
Lin Jue said, "Yes."
Shen Yiqiong said, "Why didn't you call me?"
Lin Jue said, "I don't want to drink with children."
Then Shen Yiqiong argued that he was an adult and could drink alcohol completely, and said that his heart was very mature, and he could handle smoking, drinking, and burning his head and tattoos.
The two kept their mouths shut until they got into the car. After getting in the car, Zhou Jiayu's cell phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and looked at it, and saw someone sent a WeChat message.
Looking at the WeChat name, Zhou Jiayu thought dully for a while before he remembered who this person was. Isn't this the security guy he met at the airport before. At that time, Xiao Zhi naughty touched others twice, which caused him to misunderstand that Zhou Jiayu had other ideas about him.
It has to be said that this person is also very keen in some aspects, and it can be seen at a glance that Zhou Jiayu is a fellow man.
"Are you in City C now?" There was such a message.
Zhou Jiayu didn't expect that he would know his address, so he replied um.
"Do you have time to come out for a cup of tea at night?" This is obviously a special invitation. Although Zhou Jiayu has never eaten pork, he has seen pigs running. He is an adult. He still understands these things. .
"Sorry, I have someone I like." Zhou Jiayu refused neatly, not intending to entangle him more.
"Are you together?" he asked again.
Zhou Jiayu didn't reply.
"No?" His silence gave the person some kind of signal, "Since we haven't been together yet, it's just unrequited love, and I have a chance too."
Zhou Jiayu was a little helpless. Once again, he felt that his emotional level was too low, and there was nothing he could do with a slightly higher level. Since there is no way to return, then just delete it. Anyway, the two met by chance, and without WeChat, it means to cut off all contact.
Thinking of this, Zhou Jiayu flicked his finger and was about to delete this person's WeChat account.
Who knew that another message was sent over there in an instant. This message was a photo. The person in the photo lifted his clothes, revealing beautiful eight-pack abs and slender thighs. This person was wearing only a pair of bullet underwear on the lower body, and his skin was a A beautiful wheat color that looks alluring.
Zhou Jiayu was frightened by the photo, her hands trembled, and her phone fell directly on the ground. It was a coincidence that Lin Jue was sitting next to him. Before Zhou Jiayu could speak, she picked up Zhou Jiayu's phone. , then glanced at a photo on the phone.
Zhou Jiayu: "… "
Lin Jue: "..."
The air was quiet for a moment, and Zhou Jiayu's forehead was slightly cold sweat.
Lin Jue handed the phone to Zhou Jiayu, and said meaningfully, "This little brother has beautiful abdominal muscles, when did you meet him?"
Zhou Jiayu: "..." His hand holding the phone was sweaty, and he smiled reluctantly, "I met him at the airport. I went through the security check at the time, and Xiao Zhi touched someone, so..." When he spoke, He glanced at Lin Zhushui, who was sitting next to the co-pilot in front, but Lin Zhushui had his back to them, and Zhou Jiayu couldn't see his expression clearly.
Lin Jue said, "Oh."
Zhou Jiayu explained in a low voice, "I was going to delete him, but my hand slipped."
Lin Jue said, "Yeah."
Zhou Jiayu's voice was getting lower and lower, showing a frustrated expression inexplicably.
"Okay." Seeing him like this, Lin Jue laughed instead, and she said, "Don't we know what character you are? Besides, you are single now, and love is inherently free. It's normal to be everywhere." Her tone suddenly rose, "Everyone is rushing for good things, and if you're slow, you'll have to take the blame for yourself."
Zhou Jiayu lowered his head and did not notice that when Lin Jue finished speaking, Lin Zhushui, who was leaning slightly against the seat, slowly sat up straight. Lin Zhushui, who usually maintains this sitting posture, is thinking about some very important issues...
The rest of the way, the car was very quiet.
After getting off the car and entering the tunnel, Shen Yiqiong saw Zhou Jiayu's appearance was a little strange. He said that he was fine when he went out.
"It's okay." Zhou Jiayu lied, "I have a headache after drinking."
After Shen Yiqiong heard the words, he didn't think much about it. After all, they all knew Zhou Jiayu's terrible alcohol intake.
A machine had already entered the tunnel and began to dig in the direction indicated by Lin Zhushui. The soil was excavated layer by layer. After about a few dozen minutes, someone shouted, "Something has been dug out!"
Zhou Jiayu looked in that direction and found a dead bone hidden in the soil below the machine. The bones were intact when they were dug up, and it can be judged from the clothes they wore that this corpse should have lived during the Republic of China. However, these are not the most noticeable, the most eye-catching place is that the bone is covered with large purple patches that at first glance look like mold.
"What is this?" Zhou Jiayu saw this purple thing for the first time.
"It seems to be a kind of carnivorous mold." Lin Jue seemed to have seen this thing somewhere, showing a thoughtful look, "This thing can emit hallucinogens, attracting prey to approach, I remember this thing is not an only child, it should be It is a companion creature and has no self-predation ability."
Although this thing is hallucinogenic, it cannot kill people, and it usually coexists with another poisonous plant.
"Continue digging." Lin Zhushui casually ignited the molds with a torch and commanded in a slow voice.
So we continued to dig down, and soon, a huge burial place appeared in front of everyone. The densely packed corpses were stacked on top of each other, and it could be seen that the burial method was extremely rough. At that time, it seemed that only a large pit was dug, and then all the corpses were thrown into it and buried directly, even with the most basic disinfection measures. Neither did.
And on these corpses, almost every one of them has that kind of purple mold attached, which looks very infiltrating at first glance.
After all the corpses were dug up, Lin Zhushui asked the workers at the scene to sprinkle a special powder on it, which seemed to be made from lime and other things. As soon as the purple mold was sprinkled on it, it began to turn black quickly. dissolve.
Looking at so many corpses, Yu He couldn't stop thinking of sin.
After digging down very deep, no bones were found again. Zhou Jiayu roughly counted and found that there were at least thousands of these bodies, most of which should have died of suffocation in the tunnel massacre that year. lost people.
"These people are too much." Yu Xiaomian said, "They were buried in the tunnel and no one found out?"
"No one finds it too normal." Lin Jue sighed, "If something like this happened in this tunnel, whoever wants to come in later will stay far away."
It's the same reason, if the subway had to pass through here, I'm afraid these bones would never be found.
After all the bones were dug out, Lin Zhushui asked people to follow the cracks to dig the next wall, but this time he specifically instructed not to use machines, just do it manually, and don't dig too deep with each shovel. planing out.
Zhou Jiayu had always been curious about what was inside the crack, but now he can finally see it. The workers were slowly digging the soil, and soon, the contents of the cracks were gradually exposed.
In the soil layer not too far from the crack, there are actually several living people embedded in the soil. These people's bodies are all buried in the soil, only their faces are exposed, and their bodies are covered with a kind of red flowers. It can be recognized from the above that these people are the workers who disappeared after the construction in the tunnel.
After they were dug out, everyone discovered that these small red flowers actually grew out of their bodies, directly breaking through the flesh, and blooming stamens on their skin.
Lin Zhushui checked their physical condition and determined that they were still alive.
Yu He breathed a sigh of relief, saying that fortunately there was no catastrophe, and asked how to wake them up.
"Find a hospital to pick out the flowers one by one, and the roots are not too deep. After the operation, you should be fine if you drink medicine every day." Lin Zhushui said.
"Do these flowers have the ability to prey?" Thinking of what Lin Jue said before, Zhou Jiayu asked.
"Yeah." Lin Zhushui said, "These flowers can decompose nutrients from their bodies, and then nourish the fungi in the soil."
Zhou Jiayu said, "But why are there such little flowers in this place?"
"Who knows." Lin Jue said casually, "Maybe it was brought in by accident, or maybe..." Her tone was casual, but what she said was shocking, "It was planted on purpose."
As soon as these words came out, everyone stopped talking.
"Go to the hospital first, and talk about other things later." Lin Zhushui came to this conclusion.
All six workers who disappeared within half a month have been found. The most serious one does not look good, but fortunately, these flowers will maintain the lives of the boarders to seek more nutrients, so at least there is no danger to their lives.
After the little flowers were taken away, the purple molds left in the soil began to die at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the entire hole where the human bones were buried showed an unpleasant black color.
"Let's find another place to bury all these corpses." Lin Zhushui said his last words, "If possible, it's better for the subway to bypass this road."
Hearing that, Yu He nodded and said yes, but there was helplessness in his expression, apparently thinking that the people above would not change their minds.
Sure enough, a year later, the subway was completed as scheduled, but in urban legends, there were new rumors that it was on a certain subway line in a certain city. If you took the last train, you would find the subway. In the carriage, sometimes there will be more people wearing old clothes of the Republic of China...
The author has something to say: Zhou Jiayu: Sir, I am not, I have not…
Lin Zhushui: Come here.
Zhou Jiayu walked to Lin Zhushui aggrievedly.
Lin Zhushui bit him: make a mark, so as not to be taken away by others.
