"That day I suddenly discovered that the layout of my room was completely turned over, as if someone had planned an almost impossible prank while I was leaving." The old guy said in a memory of memories, "Do you know this feeling? If someone secretly moves your rocking chair from the left to the right, you can definitely find it; if someone puts the mirror in the room in the other direction, you can definitely find it, but if one day, the layout of the entire room is completely Moved.
Your door has changed from opening to the right to opening to the left. After you enter the door, the shoe rack is placed from the left to the right. Even the cracks in the floor tiles have turned from one direction to the other. Everything seems to be folded in half. Can you still find that something has been moved in the house? "
The old guy asked us with a slightly confused tone. I thought about it in silence and said, "I should be able to find it."
The old guy said: "Yes, you can indeed find that something is wrong, because there is always a sense of awkwardness that makes you uncomfortable doing anything. But when you find that your house ranges from the structure of the house, to the interior decoration, to the odds and ends. After all the ash falling on the table has been adjusted, the first thing you will do is doubt your memory.
You will wonder if you remembered it wrong or if the layout of your house was originally like this. Because nothing has been moved, everything is still in its original position. The radio is on the right side of the rocking chair and the TV is in front of the rocking chair. Because the biggest problem is not that the object has been moved, but everything. …" He emphasized, "Everything has been turned over. You can't find any traces, you can only feel that there is something wrong, but you can't find evidence. "
"Later, I began to look for evidence. I wanted to find evidence that the layout of the room had changed. If there is a window, then this problem can be solved well. Because if the window is also turned over with other objects, it will The location will move to the other wall. I can prove it by the scenery outside the window. If the scenery outside the window that I can see has changed, then it can prove that the window has been moved, and then it can further prove everything in the room. Everything has been moved."
Hearing this, I think there is really some magic, but this is another very interesting question. If there is a windowless room where you live for a long time, one day, from the structure of the building to the layout of the objects, all will be turned over once, you Found this problem, then how do you prove that the room was turned over.
Lao Xiang continued: "Later I figured it out. If there is really a force that makes all the items in my room a mirror image, then I cannot prove it, because all the items in the room are references to each other. And people often remember the position of an object instead of actually remembering its position, but remembering the positional relationship between the object and the surrounding reference objects. When all the reference objects are mirrored and flipped, I cannot rely on these mirror images. Use the reference to find out where the loophole is.
Finally the old guy said: "I need to find a reference that is connected to the outside world, a reference that is connected to the outside world like a window, and can be found once it changes."
I think the old guy's logic is indeed very clear, and he can analyze his thoughts for us at such an old age, "then have you found it?" I asked.
The old guy smiled triumphantly: "I found it. Of course I found it. In addition to the windows, there is also a sewer. The sewer is connected to my kitchen. The drainage pipe of my kitchen originally extended to the left and finally connected to the sewer in the north of the logistics building. , But after being turned over, the drain pipe extends to the right and has been connected to the sewer in the south of the logistics building."
"That still can't prove that it was turned over." I said: "If you remember it wrong, is the drain in your kitchen connected to the sewer in the south?"
The old guy shook his head: "This can't be wrong, because there is a difference between the north and south sewers. The north is the domestic wastewater discharge system, and the south is the industrial wastewater discharge system. The two are separated separately. I paid attention to it when I completed the sewer. So. At that time, I was sure that this was not my illusion. All the things in my room had indeed been turned over once, as if they were taken out of a mirror."
"Later, I even discovered that this kind of overturning was still going on, and the scope was expanded to Factory 308. The largest one was that the entire semi-finished product warehouse was overturned to the west side wall, and the west side wall was also turned over. At that time, I discovered that the curse has never gone far."
The three of us glanced at each other, and there was no doubt about the old guy's words, because I personally experienced the problem of the semi-finished product library.
I suddenly felt a chill. If only a room is turned over, problems can still be found through windows and sewers, but if one day the whole world is mirrored in half, how many people will be self-doubt but unable to give evidence and collapse. What? At that time, there is no reference object, because all the reference objects have been folded in half once.
"What is the curse you are talking about?" I asked.
Lao Xiang’s rocking chair didn’t know when he stopped, so he lay straight on the rocking chair, “I’m from the Northeast. When I was a child, the Northeast was under the rule of the Puppet Manchuria. The Japanese had opened a lot in the Northeast for the national assimilation policy Schools. Most of these schools teach Japanese and distort history. I studied in a school in Fengtian. Later, because of my excellent grades, I was selected and sent to other places.
We boarded a military vehicle and advanced to the depths of the Greater Khingan Mountains. There was no road in the Greater Khingan Mountains at that time, but the Japanese did not know when a hidden path was opened. Are people going to fight the Soviets? Will we be arrested and used as cannon fodder
As a result, the Japanese actually built a school in the depths of Daxinganling, Gongrong Middle School. We were sent in as the first batch of students. There was no difference between what we were studying and the outside, but everyone could feel the difference, that is, on the mountain not far from the school, there are hidden Japanese people. The barracks, we were not allowed to approach there, let alone see what was there.
There is the place of curse, that is, the place where I am ridden with curses. After I came out of Daxinganling, I investigated many legends of Daxinganling, and I went to Daxinganling again, but it was undoubtedly only made things more confusing. "
Seeing that he was unclear and unclear, I asked: "Can you tell me in detail what you have experienced in the depths of Daxinganling?"
The old guy looked up at me: "Do you really want to hear it?"
I nodded, Chongyang and Li Yuanyi also found two wooden boxes and sat down, both looking like listening to the story.
With a reminiscence tone, the old guy looked at the dim light: "That year, it was 1940, I was sixteen years old..." (End of this chapter)
