Compared to older people, everything they see is memories. Rather than sitting quietly and recalling the past, what they are more willing to do is to tell their stories and tell them to others. listen.
Everyone's life is a story of ups and downs. If you look at it in detail, it will be far more exciting than any other book. But apart from yourself, I am afraid that no other person will be able to understand the excitement of this story. .
Therefore, I didn't ask the uncle any questions, but directly said that I wanted to hear his stories. People like this must be full of stories, but they are just not enough for outsiders to tell.
When the uncle heard my question, he was stunned. The ashes in his hand were stagnant for a long time without even noticing.
After a long while, the uncle looked at me blankly and said, "Little one, what are you talking about?"
It seems that the uncle is pretending to be confused with me. In that case, I will point it out directly: "Uncle, there must be many stories about you that you can't tell others, right? Because you know it yourself, even if you tell it, you won't be able to tell it to others." Someone would believe it, right?”
The uncle's body felt numb for a while, and the cigarette butt in his hand went out. Then he looked at me blankly, and said with a horrified look on his face: "Are you a student of this school?"
I nodded, shook my head, and then said: "Maybe, but this shouldn't delay you from telling your story, right? My identity is not important, what's important is that I am willing to listen to your story, and that's enough!"
The guard was stunned for a moment, then smiled meaningfully at me, showing his black and yellow teeth, and there was something profound in his smile.
Then, he opened the glass door of the guard room and said to me: "Little one, it seems that I am a little old-sighted. Come in, it is not convenient for us to talk through the door like this."
I nodded, and then said to Yuxi next to me: "Yuxi, wait for me at the door for a while. I'll be fine in a while."
On this matter, she didn't refute me. She nodded obediently and then let go of my hand.
After entering the security room, the guard pulled a plastic stool and motioned for me to sit down. Then he said, "Little one, what story do you want to hear?"
As the saying goes, the old man is old and the horse is slippery, and the rabbit is old and the eagle is hard to catch. With the way he talked to me, the uncle must have understood my purpose, and he was deliberately trying to trick me.
I didn't hesitate and said directly: "Uncle, you must also know that if I can come to you, I must have understood something in my heart, and the things I told you must not be encountered under normal circumstances, such as Talk about...the laboratory on the second underground floor!"
After the uncle heard what I said about the second underground floor, his face froze at first, but then he smiled again: "Sure enough, there are still people paying attention to the situation there. It's just a little guy, do you really believe in certain things? Don't I’ll scare you when I tell you later!”
I laughed too. Are you scaring me? I'm afraid I would have been intimidated a few months ago, now? There is really nothing that scares me from the senses.
I shook my head: "Just say what you say. If you are scared, you can just pretend that I didn't come!"
The uncle also nodded directly: "Okay, then I will tell you, this trip is not in vain, just listen to it as a story!"
Then, the doorman lit up a cigarette, and while smoking, he told me about what he had seen and heard while working on the second underground floor in those years.
Like many people, there are countless people who are as miserable as the guard uncle. For these poor people, nothing is more terrible than poverty.
Therefore, there are many people who are willing to do those humble jobs in the land, for nothing more than a few taels of copper coins.
When the janitor first heard about this job, it was because of the high salary. However, the story about the second underground floor was so popular that almost everyone had heard of it, especially the many people who had been working there for a while. This inexplicable departure is even more suspicious.
It's not like the guard didn't think about this problem when he came here, but the salary of nearly 10,000 yuan a month really allowed him to overcome this fear.
Not surprisingly, after some psychological struggle, the uncle joined the company.
In the first few days, the uncle was also anxious in his heart, trying to figure out what terrible things there were underground, because not knowing is often the scariest thing.
But nothing happened for several days, until one night, when the uncle got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet...
Due to the inconvenience of going up and down on the second underground floor, there is a public restroom at the end of the corridor. This restroom is for men and women and is an independent space made of partition boards.
At that time, the uncle suddenly had a stomachache at night and ran to the toilet in a hurry. Because he was too anxious and couldn't choose a way, the uncle didn't even have time to turn on the light, so he went to the toilet directly.
However, just as the uncle squatted down and before he had time to release, he heard a sudden movement outside the partition door!
It was a series of tiny steps, very light, as if only the toes were connected to the ground.
When the uncle heard the noise, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe. He suppressed the noise in his stomach and listened quietly to the sound.
Sure enough, the voice was getting closer and closer, as if it was getting closer to him.
The depressive atmosphere at that time, just hearing it, made me feel a little uncomfortable, let alone the person involved.
However, something more terrible has yet to happen.
After a while, as the footsteps got closer and closer, the sound suddenly stopped without giving anyone any chance to breathe. There was a dull knocking sound on the partition door in front of the uncle.
Bang bang bang bang!
This is the sound of knocking on the door, but it is slightly different from the knocking on the door, because normal people knock on the door three times, but the sound on the partitions is four!
There are three people and four ghosts, this is an eternal truth.
In other words, at this time, there is something on the other side of the partition door, and this thing is most likely not a human being, and it is knocking hard! !
