Old dog tell weird stories

The Living Dead

This story is told by a big brother in the Northeast.

Northeast brother shaved inches, with finger-thick gold chain, drinking, talking decisively, the typical big brother model. He heard that I like to collect stories, so he took advantage of the strength of the wine, told the story of his youth in the depths of the Kunlun Mountains after a bizarre incident.

In his words, he met a living dead, or a fairy, or a miracle that time.

Northeast brother said, he used to be an honest child, then bullied too much, so in the middle of the night tucked a fend, stabbed people, this ran away.

At that time, there were two places to run away.

One is to our northeast of the old forest, the Changbai Mountains, large and small Xinganling, where there are many old hunters, adult to see a shadow of a person, happy to see people, stay you live, stay you eat and drink, every day there is meat, regardless of whether you are a murderer or a psychopath!

There is another is to go to the great northwest, there is barren and primitive, all the way to the sky, that is, some road repair workers, or the pilgrimage of Tibetans, although the days are hard, but at least you can meet people, talk.

So he chose to go to the west at that time, to the new Tibetan line.

Later, when the money he brought with him ran out, he also went to work as a road maintenance worker.

Road maintenance worker is hard enough, especially in Tibet, especially in the new Tibetan line, that simply can not live! This suffering is unimaginable to ordinary people. How to say it, I give an example, the mainland people to this side, in the new Tibetan line to urinate, smoke a cigarette, people may die on the spot, the plateau reaction!

In winter, the snow can flood people's knees, and the wind! The wind here in Tibet can blow the train down, the wind with snow and hail, can kill the cattle, let alone people!

These people, ah, stay here for a long time, to Lhasa hospital a medical examination, all the disease, plateau heart disease, sinus bradycardia, spleen enlargement, rheumatoid arthritis, every good.

So ah, come here to do road maintenance workers, either really poor days can not help, or I am such a murderer, a felon.

He said, at that time, I have not been here for a long time, not yet adapted to Tibet such ascetic life, and can not go down the mountain, so often sitting alone on the side of the road, watching the passing car.

In fact, in such a hellish place, there are very few cars, occasionally passing by a few cars, or military vehicles.

It was dusk, when the sun was about to set, I finished my work and once again went to the place where he usually watched the cars, only to find someone already sitting there.

The man wasn't driving, and there was no sign of a car driving around, so I didn't know where he had come from or where he was going.

The man looked very lonely, sitting on the side of the road, drinking beer from bottle to bottle.

Seeing me pass, he didn't say anything, just handed over a bottle of wine.

We both said nothing, just sitting there, each drinking their own wine.

Later, I finally couldn't resist asking him to talk to him, but he didn't say anything and just drank his wine silently.

Later, the sun went down, I saw him still drinking, I reminded him that he could not drink any more, to hurry to find a place to stay, the night will be windy, this side of the wind, cars will be scraped down, people will be scraped off.

Unexpectedly, the man said for the first time, he muttered, "If I could really die, it would be good ......"

I was still smacking his meaning of that sentence, he patted his butt and stood up, saying, "Can I stay at your place for a while?"

I took him back with high spirits.

Here we are, there are plenty of places, here the sky is big, just live, just cover, the lack of people, every day is that a few people, head to head, egg to egg, the body has a few hanging hair know clearly, most like is to talk to people.

I'm not afraid to tell you joke, in ordinary times, if the road over a car, we will put down the work in hand, towards the car waving desperately.

We also know that the people in the car will not greet us, but it's okay, we see people, the heart happy well!

Sometimes, a driver will also press a lama to respond with us, and even a girl will stick out her head, waving towards us, that we are like the New Year, for half a month in a row will say this thing.

We thought, this person must be a lost love, or is broke, sometimes, there will be this kind of people come this way, at most stay a day or two, and then go back.

This place, which is those tender-skinned city people can stay?

Unexpectedly, this young man not only stayed, but also stayed here for half a month.

This half month, he always did not say a word, is every day after dawn, just sitting in that place to drink, looking at the distant big snowy mountains.

When he came, carrying a large backpack, which is full of spirits, the brand I do not know, all foreign characters on it, but also the local.

Who walked over, he did not talk to others, is handed over a bottle of wine.

Later, the wine finished, he did not drink anything, a person sitting there, or looking towards the snowy mountains.

I could not help but ask him later: "What are you doing here?"

He said, "I'm waiting for someone."

I asked him, "Where is that person?"

He pointed towards the front.

I looked into the distance, far away are big snow mountains, one after another, can see what people?

Asked him again, he did not say anything.

Alas, at that time I, how did not think, he had to wait, but a dead man.

Or rather, that is a dead and resurrected.

He said, we have a habit in the northeast, is to go to the river in winter to open an ice hole there smashing toad. In the big river to play an ice eye, the lack of oxygen under the water, that underwater toads will desperately jump to the shore. The day is too cold, the toad a water, bouncing not a few times, the body is frozen on a layer of ice shells, frozen into a piece of ice, directly put in the basket to get.

But you come home, put these toads in warm water, as long as they are warmed up, slow, they will come to life.

But how did we not think, if this person is sealed in the ice, but also can come to life!

He continued, our side of the road maintenance workers, not only to repair the road, shovel snow, sometimes, it will also encounter some major events, such as high winds, earthquakes, avalanches, thousands of years of snow on the snow mountain smashed down, large pieces of glaciers are piled up on the road, we also have to knock these large glaciers a little bit, to transport to the outside.

Sometimes, we also receive some special tasks, suddenly called up in the middle of the night, let us cooperate with the local departments to carry out some military tasks.

These missions are quite strange, sometimes it is to take them to the lake and assist them to dive under the water to salvage something. Sometimes it was for us to get in their big trucks and drive all the way deep into the mountains and plow through the snow to dig something up. Some things were okay, some things were scary.

Sometimes it was some strange looking animals, sometimes it was people.

All kinds of people, some are lamas, wearing monk robes; some are expeditionary teams, wearing a vest, and some are tourists, wearing down jackets, big scarves and so on, these are some to the snowy mountains, and then fell, to the seal in the ice and snow, slowly to freeze, if not an avalanche, these people are estimated that after a few hundred years will not find.

These people are okay, we found, reported up, the body has an ID card, let the government handle, to notify the families of the victims of what. No identity, find a place to bury him. There are times when the people dug up are very strange.

Once, we assisted the troops on a mission, from the big ice shells dug out a large number of soldiers, wearing uniforms, I knew at first glance, wearing the old-style Nationalist uniforms, almost a few hundred people, the snow is dense, full of bodies.

The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public. They are to carry out what task?

Then I do not know, anyway, we are only responsible for the outermost excavation, a person found, we were all cleaned out, let us all sign what the bullshit confidential documents, each person also issued a confidential allowance of 500 yuan. But the most terrible, or the incident he encountered at the time!

Big brother lamented a bit, continued: At that time, almost half a month to put the little brother, Kunlun Mountain over the avalanche, half of the mountain collapsed, thousands of years of snow mixed with glaciers smashed down, everywhere, the road washed away, the superiors let us rush to repair, little brother also followed to go.

To that side, we are responsible for attacking, mainly smashing ice, is the ice pressed road with steel brazing smashed, the back of the talent so that the broken ice to transport away.

This job looks simple, in fact, very difficult, that the snow on the Kunlun Mountains, thousands of years will not melt, the snow layer pressed layer, the snow are pressed into the ice shells, the ice shells than iron is still hard, with a machete can not cut, pour gasoline burn, burn half a day can not melt much.

What's worse, here next to the Kunlun Mountains, but also can not use explosives, or it may cause avalanches elsewhere, that will be even more deadly.

We had no choice but to use the old way, the steel hammer with a hammer a little bit into it, drilling a few holes in it, and then a few people together to pry hard, to pry it open.

We did so, until the second half of the night, to the bottom piece of ice. That piece of ice is almost half the size of a house, we intend to continue to use the brazier to hit in, but was the little brother to stop.

He said that this piece of ice let him handle, he invited a few of us to smoke and let us go to the side for a rest first.

I was idle, so I watched him from the side.

Brother did not use a steel brazier, but a small hacksaw, began to saw this piece of ice a little.

I kindly reminded him that this piece of ice is so big, you use the hacksaw slowly saw, so sawing a year, can not be down.

He said indifferently that he didn't need to saw the whole thing, but only a corner of it was enough.

I do not understand his meaning, and did not bother him, and sat next to slowly smoke, watching him in the end to toss some what.

He sawed not much longer, the corner of the ice finally he sawed off, almost the size of a person's ice block fell to the ground, fell into several pieces.

In a blur, I seem to see the broken ice, as if there is a black thing, but because it is far away, can not see clearly.

Because of curiosity, I stood up and walked towards it.

The black thing, it looked like a person, lying on his back there.

The little brother bent down his body, as if he was giving him a massage, lowering his head in talking to him.

I looked evil, but also want to go over to see what's going on, I felt the body of the man lying on the ground seemed to suddenly move a little.

I was startled and stopped there at once.

Then look carefully, no, the man still lying motionless on the ground.

I also laughed at myself, people are frozen in a shell of ice, how can still come to life?

A few more steps forward, the little brother suddenly shouted up at me, let me get out of here, can not come closer.

I casually agreed, in fact, I did not take him seriously, thinking that I have never seen anything, but you a white boy tube?

Another step forward, I saw the man on the ground sat up and looked straight at me.

My heart immediately cooled down, shivering, that person, that was sealed in the ice for an unknown number of years, but really came to life.

Moreover, his eyes, there is no trace of human feelings, like a beast, or a piece of ice.

I only felt a blur in front of my eyes, as if something leapt over, a blink of an eye to my eyes.

Then, my neck was stuck in something, like an iron vise to clamp down, a little breath can not come.

I struggled desperately, but it was useless, my neck was stuck to the ground, and I couldn't even breathe, let alone call out to someone.

At that time, I was still sober, thinking that no matter what is choking me, I must break free, or people will be finished. My hands used all my strength, desperately to break the man's hand, only to feel the man's hand like ice as cold, and like cast iron, how can not break.

Then, the man just stuck my neck with one hand, and then began to slowly make force, but I slowly lifted me up.

I was desperate and began to close my eyes to die, and tears flowed out.

At this time, the little brother ran over from behind and said a few words to the ice man urgently in a language I did not understand, the ice man finally reacted, his hand gradually relaxed and dropped me.

I finally broke free from his hands and rolled on the ground, feeling that my throat was going to be snapped by him, and I couldn't care less at that time, I felt a steel brazier on the ground and protected it in front of my body to prevent him from rushing out again.

What I didn't expect was that the ice man didn't move a muscle, just looked at the little brother.

Little brother came over, sighed and said to me, "I'm sorry he made you hurt. Please believe me, he didn't mean to do it. Right now, he hasn't regained his human sanity."

I stammered and asked him what was going on here. Wasn't this man sealed in a block of ice, how did he come back to life? Was he a human or a zombie?

He sighed again and said, "It's hard to explain this to you, and even if I did, you probably wouldn't believe me. Just forget about it and pretend that he never happened. I'll take him away now, and I won't come back later.

After saying these words, he began to walk slowly toward the desert plain.

The ice man, as he said, was really not aggressive and followed him honestly.

Big brother lamented: then I went back to the northeast, found that the man was not stabbed by me, and the family lost a lot of money, and so on. After so many years, I always want to visit the new Tibetan line, I think that person, should still be there ......
