Zhen Zhen asked loudly, "Do the seven of them often go back to school to play during their holidays?"
Mr. Lu nodded first, then shook his head: "No, the sisters in Liangcun don't know, but the fifth sisters and brothers in Wangcun often come to play, especially their fourth, who is very naughty and always makes me half-dead. But now The man is gone, but I miss him being mischievous."
Later, he told us that during the spring break, the five Wangcun brothers and sisters would come to school almost every day to play. Most of them were once his students, and every time they saw him, they would borrow football with him. Originally, they could play on the basketball court, but the fourth child is too naughty. The football doesn't have eyes under his feet, and either he kicks it into the flowerbed or the teaching building. He was afraid that the fourth child would break the windows of the teaching building, so he let them play in the open space behind the school. He also told them to stay away from air raid shelters and nearby fish ponds.
"The day they disappeared, they also borrowed footballs from me. I have repeatedly told them not to go near the dugouts and fish ponds, but they still..." Teacher Lu shook his head again and sighed.
"Why can't you get close to the bomb shelter?"
As the saying goes, "Bullying the mountains, not the water", playing near the fish ponds is easy to slip and cause drowning. He repeatedly explained that it is reasonable for students not to approach the fish ponds. But Mr. Lu said just now that he doesn't believe in the legend of the ghost who hides the mirror, so why didn't the five brothers and sisters in Wangcun get close to the air-raid shelter
"This air-raid shelter was dug before liberation, and it is said that it is mainly used to store artillery shells. No one has ever used it since liberation, and no one knows how deep it is, and no one knows if there are any dangerous items such as bombs left behind. Inside, so the school has never allowed students to play inside." After Mr. Lu answered the question, he told us something about the air-raid shelter—
It was probably half a month before the Dragon Boat Festival last year. There were three sixth-grade students who came together to explore the air-raid shelter. One of the students surnamed Liang missed the appointment because of fear, and the other two naughty ghosts actually ran into the hole.
The next day, neither student came to school. I was their head teacher at the time, and I called their parents when they didn't come. The parents of the two said that they ran out to play yesterday and haven't come back yet, they are beating gongs and drums to find them! He also asked me to help my classmates, do they know where they went
I quickly asked the students in the class, who knows where they are going? At this time, the student surnamed Liang told me timidly that they had made an appointment to explore the air-raid shelter. After I asked what happened, I immediately called their parents and told the principal about it.
The principal was very nervous when he found out. He was afraid that the two students would have an accident, so he immediately called the security team for help. The principal took me, three other teachers, four security officers, and the parents of the students to the outside of the shelter. But looking at the dark entrance, no one dared to enter, for fear that they would get lost after entering. Later, the principal came up with a way to find a very long rope and let two security guards tie it around his waist, and then went in to find someone.
The rope should be about 300 meters long, but not long after the security guard entered, we found that the rope was not long enough. The other two security guards hurriedly called the guys who went in, trying to tell them to come out first, but the mobile phone had no signal in the air-raid shelter and could not get through no matter how they called. In desperation, he had to pull the rope back to remind them to come out.
Fortunately, these two players are not stupid. As soon as we pulled the rope, they came out. Later, we found a lot of ropes to tie each other to form a long rope, even if the total length was not 1,000 meters, at least 800 meters, and then we went in again to find someone.
We thought, the rope is so long, it must be enough! But after a while, the rope was all gone, and they had to be pulled out again. After they came out, they said that the deeper they went in the cave, the darker it became, and that there were so many forks in a labyrinth that there would be no way out if it wasn't for the ropes.
Later, we brought all the ropes we could find and tied them together. I don't know how long they are, but at least two kilometers!
The rope was long enough this time, but we waited outside the cave for a long time without seeing them come out. When they were discussing whether they should go in along the rope to find them, they saw them come out with two children. But after the two children came out, something was wrong.
The mother of one of the children, seeing her child being rescued, walked forward crying and wanted to hold him. But when he saw his mother, he stepped back in horror and shouted, "Don't kill me, don't eat me" or something like that. The other child wasn't necessarily much better than him. With a little trouble, he squatted down with his hands on his head and trembled uncontrollably.
After a few days of rest, the two of them were in better condition, but they never told everyone what happened in the dugout. Whenever someone asks, they say in great panic: "Can't say, can't say, say it and it will kill you."
After this incident, the principal repeatedly emphasized that students should not be allowed to approach the bomb shelter to avoid the same accident happening again...
After listening to Teacher Lu's narration, Zhen Zhen asked timidly, "Did these two students meet the mirror ghost in the air raid shelter?"
"It's hard to say." Teacher Lu shook his head. "Although many people think that they are evil, they still refuse to tell what happened in the cave. I personally think that there are no ghosts and gods in the world. Ghost, the ghosts of my wife and children have long sought revenge for those bastards, but those bastards are still not as delicious as they are."
"Since some students ran into the bomb shelter before, why didn't the five Wangcun brothers go in and look for them when they disappeared?" I asked.
"When I knew they were missing, the first thing I thought of was the dugout." Teacher Lu shook his head and sighed, "Before they disappeared, I borrowed footballs to play in the open space behind the school, so I thought they might kick the footballs into the dugout for the I went in after I found the football. I told their father Cai Quan about it and asked him to report the case to the Public Security Bureau, but he made several trips and the other party didn’t send anyone over.”
"Why don't you ask the security team for help?" Zhen Zhen asked.
"I found it." Teacher Lu said with a wry smile: "At that time, the Spring Festival had just passed, and the members of the security team didn't want to enter such an unlucky place, and they made a lot of excuses to make excuses. It was because they refused to help that Cai Quan ran away. When I went to the county public security bureau, I didn’t expect that no one would come to help.”
"Even if no one comes to help, you may go in and find it yourself! After all, it's your own child, Cai Quan can't just let it go, right?" Zhen Zhen said angrily.
"Cai Quan firmly believes in the legend of the ghost hiding in the mirror, and he doesn't even dare to approach the entrance of the cave, so how dare he enter?" Teacher Lu sighed softly again, "Actually, after knowing that the county office does not accept it, I will give it to the principal. I made a phone call. The principal was very nervous about this, and went to the security team to make a fuss. They had to send people into the air-raid shelter to find someone. They said that it takes a thousand days to keep soldiers. They report to the village committee every month. His salary, but at such a critical moment stand by, it’s really outrageous. The captain of the security team said that they also had difficulties, saying that the county public security bureau had called him and told him that he could find someone there. I just can't find it in the air-raid shelter. He also said that if there is an accident due to this, he will be fully responsible."
"It's abominable. I don't accept it myself, and I don't let others go into the air-raid shelter to find someone. Are all the people in the county public security bureau just rice buckets?"
While Zhen Zhen angrily scolded the county public security bureau for its inaction, I was thinking about a question - why did the county police station prevent the security team from entering the air raid shelter to find someone
First of all, no matter whether the security team can find the five brothers and sisters of Wangcun in the bomb shelter, or even if there is an accident in the bomb shelter, it seems that it will not bring losses to the county public security bureau; There is no damage at all, and there should be no major problem when entering the cave again; thirdly, if the security guard really finds the fifth sister and brother of Wangcun in the cave, the matter will be resolved, and Cai Quan will not go to the county public security bureau again and again. File a case and increase their workload.
From this, it can be inferred that the county police station had absolutely no reason to obstruct the security team, unless they already knew that the five children were imprisoned in the dugout and did not want everyone to find them. If this is the case, wouldn't the county public security bureau become an accomplice
I suddenly remembered what Uncle Qingsheng said about the cult.
Although it cannot be ruled out that there are cult members infiltrating the county public security bureau, the possibility does not seem to be high. Perhaps, there are secrets in the air raid shelters that some county public security bureaus do not want the public to know.
Although I really wanted to go into the air-raid shelter to find out, but it was already late at night and Zhen Zhen was injured again, so I had no choice but to give up. Therefore, after saying goodbye to Teacher Lu, I went home with Zhen Zhen to rest.
The next day, I got up early in the morning, and even deceived and abducted Zhen Zhen to the forensic doctor to look for fleeting years. Although the bodies of the eight children surnamed Cai have been cremated, my purpose in looking for Liu Nian is not to see the dead bodies, but to find him to "examine" Zhen Zhen.
Zhen Zhen was attacked by the ghost of the hidden mirror last night, and her arm was stabbed by the opponent's sharp claws. Although Teacher Lu helped to deal with the wound, he was not a doctor and could only do simple treatment, and there was no guarantee that there would be no problems. And God knows whether the claws of the hidden mirror ghost are poisonous, it is safer to find a "doctor" to test it.
Although Liu Nian is a forensic doctor who specializes in dealing with corpses, he may not be able to cure colds and coughs, but he is quite professional in surgical injuries. After taking off the bandage on Zhen Zhen's arm and carefully examining the terrifying blood hole left by the ghost in the mirror, he said with a serious face, "It may leave scars."
I said angrily, "Can't you say something constructive?"
While disinfecting Zhen Zhen seriously, he said to her seriously, "A man who doesn't feel guilty about scaring you is unreliable."
Zhen Zhen rolled her eyes at me and said disdainfully, "I already knew he was unreliable."
"Okay, I admit that I am greedy for life and fear of death, and I have no gentlemanly manner, and I am not quick enough to react. When I saw that my companion was in danger, I didn't immediately come forward and block this for her." I raised my hands in surrender.
Liu Nian said solemnly: "Well, very good, since you can admit your mistakes, you should take the initiative to bear the consequences, anyway, you have to invite Zhen Zhen to a meal to apologize."
Zhen Zhen didn't speak, just glanced at me intentionally or unintentionally. When I was about to speak, Liu Nian said quietly: "The listeners have a share."
"Oops!" Zhen Zhen suddenly shouted, she didn't know whether it was because the disinfectant hurt the wound or other reasons.
After the play, Liu Nian began to tell me seriously: "Zhen Zhen's wound is not a big problem, the teacher who bandaged her handled it well, and there is no sign of inflammation in the wound. As for the severe pain when she was injured, I think it should be due to It is caused by non-lethal neurotoxins on her paws. After all, she has no symptoms of poisoning now, and her wounds are not black. If you are still worried, let me draw some blood for testing." Then, he asked his assistant to give Zhen Zhen Blood test.
While waiting for the test results, we discussed the experience of being attacked by the Mirror Ghost last night.
"Is it possible for ghosts to physically harm people?" I asked Liu Nian.
"Generally not, but there are no absolutes in the world, and everything can't be generalized..." He said after a moment of silence: "Perhaps, I should tell you a legend about the false Rakshasa."
