Chapter 119
I thought about it for a long time, but I couldn't help but be curious about Lao Sha's identity, so I went to the address. The address was within a mountainous county near us. I went to the county town, and then found a black car and told the driver the address. The driver looked at me curiously and looked at me for a long time. I didn't realize the driver's intention at that time. It was not until the driver sent me to a very far-reaching mountain that I saw some abandoned buildings from the 1980s that I understood why the driver was so surprised.
There are many mountains around Yichang, so many third-tier military factories with numbers as code names were built in the deep mountains. For example, my father once worked in a third-tier factory in a certain mountain. I am not unfamiliar with this. With the 1990s, these third-tier factories gradually moved and the original factory site was abandoned. But I didn’t expect that the place I went to now was an abandoned third-tier factory, but I never knew this place. If it weren’t for the black car drivers who were very familiar with the local area, ordinary people might not be able to find it.
The driver sent me to a small playground. The playground was covered with weeds and the nearby buildings were dilapidated. I paid the driver, and the driver hesitated for a while and asked me: "Master, why are you here alone?"
"Look for someone?" I said casually, thanking the driver for his kindness.
"There have been no one here for many years." The driver replied, "Everyone from that year has evacuated and moved to Xiaogan (a city in Hubei)."
"So what?"
"Don't you know," the driver said nervously. "This factory was a researcher of secret weapons back then. I heard that the weapon tests had alarmed something and exploded many times. It attracted the attention of the country. After a long investigation, the country issued an order to relocate the entire factory."
"Ah, there's this matter!" I looked around and saw this desolate environment, cement pavement, factory buildings, and employees' dormitories, but they all felt desolate.
"Are there no one?" I asked the driver, "It should be the workers who stayed behind later. Even if there are not, the villagers nearby will come."
"It's afternoon," said the driver, "if you decide to go back to the county before afternoon, I'll wait for you."
"No need," I waved my hand, "I have someone called me over, they must have an arrangement."
I found that the driver's face changed, his pupils were dilated, and the driver said, "Then let me tell you, the factory moved seven years ago and was empty. At the beginning, there were indeed nearby villagers coming, but they didn't come later."
"Why?"
"Because the villagers said that at night, it was as lively as before when it was not relocated. I saw workers appearing here with my own eyes, and sometimes there were radio sounds..."
I felt a little irritated behind my back. The driver looked at the time on my phone, "It's 1:30 now, and there is no cell phone signal here. You're done, call me. My phone number is 139*********. If you don't call me in three days, I'll call the police."
"It's not so exaggerating," I smiled and rejected the driver's kindness, and then took out a hundred yuan from my wallet. "Thank you, it's rare that you sent me so far."
"I don't want your money," said the driver. "That's not what I mean."
"Okay," I said to the driver, "At this time tomorrow, please send me back. I'll wait for you."
The driver looked at me and wanted to look at a monster. Then he drove away. I was very grateful to this enthusiastic person. I watched the driver drive away and then walked to this abandoned factory. Since Lao Sha left the address, he would definitely wait for me. I walked to an open place, raised my head and shouted, "Lao Sha, Lao Sha."
My voice revolves around the valley, and then I feel that an empty city is indeed a panic.
It was only then that I realized that maybe I was the only one in this place. My heart tightened for a moment.
In order to relieve the boring time, I walked into a building, which should be the former employee hospital. A thick layer of dust accumulated on the ground in the hospital, and it seems that no one has been here for a long time.
I was thinking to myself, what does Lao Sha mean? I called me here, and I was quite a bit of a slut. In order to understand a story, I really ran over.
I was wandering around this abandoned third-tier factory alone, mainly in the living area. The factory area should be still far away. I walked through the abandoned park, the abandoned employee elementary school, and the abandoned internal shops. Imagined the lively scene back then.
According to the driver of the black car, what kind of incident happened here that caused the entire factory to relocate.
Why did Lao Sha choose such a place to meet me?
I know that it is useless to think too much. Since Lao Sha asked me to come, he would definitely appear.
Time passed quickly, and the sun set on the top of the mountain to the west, and then the sky became dark. I began to hesitate whether Lao Sha was fooling me. In order to let Lao Sha see me, I walked back to the playground and went to a high viewing stand on the side of the playground.
The night finally arrived.
The air is getting colder and colder, and I plan to wait for a few more hours. If Laosha doesn't show up yet, I will find an abandoned staff dormitory. I will definitely have any beds to move out and make do with one night. Then I will leave tomorrow.
Just as I was planning this, a light on the square next to the playground suddenly turned on. I immediately stood up and shouted to the open space, "Old Sha! Is it you?"
No one answered me.
Looking around, I wanted to find the distribution room on the playground, and the switch of the square light should be there. The distribution cabinet on the playground should be below the meter station. I ran through the playground, ran to the opposite meter station, and turned to the door below the meter station, but the door was closed, and a padlock hung on the door, which was rusted very much.
I explained to myself that this kind of square light has time control and will turn on at night. Maybe the people in the factory have forgotten this when they relocated. Moreover, this kind of factory must have a backup power supply. After the main cable is cut off, the backup motor will automatically turn on. When I was a child, I stayed in the third-tier factory where my father worked. So I knew this.
However, I immediately denied my guess because there was a white cloth between the two poles on the left and right sides of my body. I was absolutely sure that this white cloth did not appear when I sat in the stands just now, but I looked up at the white cloth, which was already very tattered, with holes everywhere on it, and it must have been here for a long time.
Now I know that what the black car driver told me was definitely not an alarmist statement.
A beam of light hit the white cloth, and I was so scared that I was shocked. Then I followed the beam to check the source, and the beam was emitted from the small window of the room below the Sihu Station. I stood by the door of the Sihu Station again, hesitating whether to knock off the lock.
At this time, I saw clearly that the white cloth above the place where I was standing just now had an image, black and white. I calmed down and watched it for a while and found that this was a movie, the old movie "Heroes and Children".
But although the movie is playing, there is no sound.
