2. The mirror is dusty

Chinese people have a very historical experience in drinking rice wine. Rice wine is quite popular in the south. The famous production area is Shaoxing. There are not many people drinking rice wine in the north, so there are not many production areas. However, in Jimo, Shandong, a kind of rice wine is produced, called Jimo Laojiu. Jimo is now under the jurisdiction of Qingdao, only 20 kilometers away from Liuting Airport.

The Ghost Hutong is in Jimo. This is not a place that is false in legend, but a real alley in reality. If your curiosity is too strong, you can go to the local area to take a look. Feng Junzi is also too curious, and after listening to everyone's introduction, he couldn't help but want to take a look on the spot.

Guihutong is an alley. The so-called alley is a passage between two rows of houses for people to walk. Guihutong also has this kind of structure. But Guihutong is very special. There are two special features: one is that it is very long, with no fork in the middle, and more than one mile. If you walk in, you either retreat the same way or go directly to the exit at the other end, without a turn. Second, the houses on both sides have neither windows nor doors. Everyone doesn’t know why they open doors and windows in the other direction of the alley. Therefore, this is a completely closed road, except for the two exits at the beginning and end. When you walk in this alley, you may hear a lot of sounds - the sounds made by the houses on both sides, but you absolutely cannot see one person. This is enough to scare the timid people.

The residents living on both sides of the Guihutong seem to be at peace. This is a civilian area. Of course, the real rich people will not live in such a place. This alley looks gloomy in broad daylight. Even when standing at the entrance of the alley in midsummer, you will feel the chilling wind blowing from the alley, and there seems to be a vague sound of ghost crying.

What is the Ghost Hutong? No one can tell clearly. No one has ever been in for many years. Occasionally, there are naughty children standing at the entrance of the alley after school to compare and test their courage. After a few people walked into the alley with fear, they didn't take a few steps away. There was always someone screaming, and then everyone ran back like crazy, as if they were running slowly and were about to be caught by something. Xiao Gao and Xiao Tang had this experience when they were young.

Feng Junzi is a person who likes to be curious and has to find something to do. When he heard about such a place, he certainly had to go and see it. He left at 9 o'clock the next night. He had a whole day left, so he pestered Xiao Gao to take him to the ghost Hutong to see it. Xiao Gao had no choice but to agree.

The next day, Feng Junzi slept in a nap again and did not leave Haier Villa until noon. Xiao Gao drove him to the airport, and took him to Jimo by the way to see the legendary ghost alley. The air in the mountains was very fresh, and the rocks and rocks that looked ferocious at night became a beautiful scenery in the sun.

Feng Junzi saw a spring water flowing down from the rock gap on the mountain not far away like a meticulous practice. He pointed to the spring water and asked Xiao Gao: "This is Laoshan mineral water, right?"

"Yes, there are many mountain springs in this place. I didn't pay attention to it before. It seems that it rained a few days ago."

"It has something to do with rain, but this spring is groundwater, not rainwater."

"Groundwater? How can the groundwater level be so high? It emerges from the mountain?" Xiao Gao asked strangely.

"Of course the ground water level is not that high. The increase in the ground water level is due to the pressure of the mountain. Because the pressure of the mountains acts as a force, the ground water will emerge from the cracks of the rocks. This is a mountain spring. Of course, the more rain, the more ground water, the more springs there are."

Feng Junzi actually had a slight understanding of geological mechanics, but he was just talking to Xiao Gao. As the two of them talked, the car had left the Laoshan Scenic Area and drove towards Jimo.

When she was about to enter Jimo city, Xiao Gao saw a large group of people outside the gate of a construction site on the side of the road, clamoring for no reason. Xiao Gao said to himself: "What are these migrant workers gathering there for doing? This is a project of the Jimo Municipal Government and has been completed."

"They are asking for wages. The building is about to be delivered and used, and the project payment has not been paid yet. The contractor owes these migrant workers half a year's salary. They are here to collect the debt today." Feng Junzi answered without thinking.

"How can this be done? Isn't anyone care?" Xiao Gao asked angrily.

"No one cares about it now, but don't worry, someone will pay attention to it after a while, and it won't be possible if you don't pay attention to it."

"Why? Who will pay attention?" Xiao Gao asked strangely.

Feng Junzi replied thoughtfully: "Did you see those mountain spring water? If the pressure is too high, it will come out. If the pressure is too high, it will spray out. Sometimes it is very dangerous. For example, this group of workers is getting bigger and bigger in the current city. If you can't get the money and go home, you will be stranded in the local area. If you are dissatisfied, you may get into trouble at any time, just like a fire tube. After a few things happen, leaders will pay attention to it."

"Why is this happening?" Xiao Gao continued.

"To be precise, it is to remove the fuse of the bomb and let your seat sit safely. It's like the stock market has to show some good news every time and launch a round of market conditions. You can wait and see."

"What Teacher Feng said makes sense," Xiao Gao suddenly realized something, and then asked Feng Junzi: "Teacher Feng, you have never been here before. Why do you say so surely that this group of people are here to collect debts, and they know so clearly that the government did not pay the project payment, and the contractor owed migrant workers half a year's salary?"

"Yes! How did I know?" Feng Junzi was also surprised. The thought just now came naturally in his head. It seemed that he had known that he would see this. Feng Junzi looked out the window in surprise. He had been to Qingdao before, but had never been to Jimo before, but the scenery he saw now seemed to be familiar places.

Feng Junzi stopped talking and looked out the window calmly. The car drove into Jimo city, and then passed through the downtown area toward the suburbs on the other side.

Feng Junzi looked at the street and thought silently: "It's time to turn the next intersection, turn right."

Sure enough, when he reached the next intersection, Xiao Gao first turned right and turned to the right. Feng Junzi was more sure when this place seemed to have been there, but he also knew clearly that he had never been to Jimo, Shandong since he was born. Feng Junzi silently foresaw the next route the car should go. As a result, Xiao Gao's car drove more and more shocked, and the route was exactly the same as he expected.

Finally, we arrived at the legendary ghost hutong entrance. Feng Junzi got off the car and looked at the alley, which was no different from the legendary one. A narrow alley formed on the back of the two rows of houses, and the winding and invisible at first glance. Although it was broad daylight, it had a gloomy feeling. Feng Junzi's inexplicable memory became clearer and clearer. He "remembered" that there should be an old locust tree not far from the entrance of the alley. He turned his head and looked at it, and it turned out that an old locust tree was standing alone not far away.

Feng Junzi's impression seemed to be only at the entrance of the alley. He didn't know what it was like in the alley. In this case, Feng Junzi had a complicated feeling. On the one hand, he felt scared inexplicably, but on the other hand, his curiosity became stronger. In any case, he decided to go in and take a look. After all, it was broad daylight now and the sun was very hot, so it was not too scary.

He said to Xiao Gao: "You go to the other end of the entrance of the alley and wait for me, and I'll take a trip."

"Teacher Feng, do you really want to go in? Don't blame me for not accompanying you. I think I'll wait for you here. If you don't make it happen, you will be back after walking for a while."
