3. The endless alley
There was nothing in the winding alley, only the fallen leaves swept in by the wind were covered with a thick layer, and no one had ever cleaned it. Walking on it made a rustling sound, which always sounded like the sound of footsteps behind you. Feng Junzi wanted to turn around several times, but he held it back. He didn't know who heard that there were three fires on people's shoulders and heads to ward off evil spirits. If you turn around suddenly, you would extinguish the fire.
As he walked, the feeling of fear slowly came to his heart. Feng Junzi really wanted to turn around and walk back, but he didn't want Xiao Gao to laugh at it, so he simply put his heart on his head and looked upright, and walked forward with big strides, hoping to finish this alley as soon as possible. Feng Junzi thought he was walking very fast, but in fact, if someone was watching from the side, he would find that he was actually walking very slowly, his steps were very big but his fall was very light, just like he was afraid of stepping on an ant to death. His chest was straight, but his waist was slightly bent.
But Feng Junzi did not feel anything ridiculous about his posture, and just walked forward step by step. After a while, Feng Junzi suddenly felt something was wrong. Although this alley is not short, it is only a mile long, and a quarter of an hour is enough to walk out. But Feng Junzi has been walking for at least half an hour now, why is it still in the alley?
Feng Junzi really wanted to turn around and walk back now, but at the same time he had another thought in his mind: "Maybe it's almost time to reach the exit, and it's time to walk back a few more steps. Now it's still an hour to go back. Let's go forward quickly." Feng Junzi continued to walk forward, and after walking for a while, there was still a winding alley in front of him where the exit was invisible.
"Did you encounter a ghost hit the wall?" Feng Junzi thought carefully about the principle of ghost hitting the wall explained in the book: in the wilderness or night, if one leg is larger than the other leg, one leg may turn around and walk back to the original place. But this phenomenon is impossible in the alley. Feng Junzi thought again: "Did I go to a circle road, and the entrance to the alley is in a 9-shaped shape?" But I remembered that I never saw a three-way intersection on the way I walked over, so it is theoretically impossible to walk into a loop.
Feng Junzi felt an inexplicable horror covering his whole body. He finally knew why this alley was called the Ghost Hutong. Feng Junzi had no other choice at this time, so he could only walk on the ground with his teeth. The sun was dimming little by little, and time passed by little, and the alley had no end. At this moment, a cold wind suddenly blew over, and Feng Junzi shook and suddenly wanted to urinate very much.
Feng Junzi now knows why some people are so scared that they wet their pants. His situation is almost the same now. If we catch up with the usual situation, Feng Junzi would be convenient under any wall in this uninhabited alley, but now he doesn't dare. Because Feng Junzi suddenly remembered a story I heard at Haier Villa last night: A man walking on the night road suddenly felt anxious on the way, so he found a place to go out in the deserted forest on the roadside. After returning home, he found that the bag on his back was missing. The next day he was sitting at home, and a man walked in directly outside the door, threw the bag he threw at him yesterday, and scolded: "You old bastard, we chatted around in a circle yesterday, but you broke into the middle to pull a shit!"
Walking through the ghost alley reminded of ghost stories, and Feng Junzi had goose bumps all over his body. He cursed himself secretly: "You can't think of something righteous and give yourself courage." So he wanted to sing, but after thinking about it, he only remembered a song "We workers have strength", so he started singing.
The sun in the sky wiped away the last trace of afterglow and hid under the horizon that Feng Junzi could not see. This was when Feng Junzi was about to sing. Feng Junzi had just started singing half a word, but the word "we" that we workers had powerful was not finished singing, and suddenly the voice seemed to be pressed back by an invisible hand.
