Tell a strange story about Beijing West Railway Station.

Editor's Note: In every old city, there are generally some mysterious city stories: the disappearing white girl, the nonexistent street ... Uncle Jiong, who lives in the south of the city, is no exception. In his childhood memory, he had a rambling playmate who climbed into the West Railway Station under construction and vowed to see something special. At first, he didn't care about these folklores, but later he gradually discovered that things were far from simple.

Beijing Bao base?

Author | Uncle Jiong

Uncle Jiong, a best-selling writer and screenwriter, wrote a series of "I'll tell a joke, don't cry" and "I'll tell a story, don't take it seriously", which sold 200 thousand. 20 18 publishes a new book "Take your time anyway". There are a large number of readers on social networking sites such as Douban, and the book reviews exceed 10000.

I lived in Lianhuachi, Fengtai District, Beijing before 20 13. The lotus pond has a long history, 800 years earlier than New China, but it has not left any legend, which is not normal. Beijing West Railway Station next to the lotus pond was built in 1993. At that time, I was in junior high school in Chaoyang District, and I rode my bike for three hours every day to and from my home and school. Near the West Railway Station is my only way. Earlier, there was only one lonely railway here, and the intersection said: stop at the red light, turn off the lights, stop using. However, the word "out" was crossed out and became "the fire lamp stopped". I have been riding for eight years, and I have never seen a fire lamp once. I am very angry.

Compared with the lotus pond, there are many legends about the railway in this area. There used to be a Han Jing Railway Racecourse Station here. This station is as old as this railway and has witnessed war and peace. There are countless mysterious stories about it, but they are not widely circulated, which may be because of the similarity of railways in mysterious stories. There is also a Xibianmen station, which was demolished during the construction of the West Railway Station. This is a very interesting station. Only stop signs, no platform. When the local train passes by, just slow down without stopping. Passengers jumped out of the car with big bags and small bags, and the rubble on the slope of the berm slipped. When they are in a mess, they often drop a lot of odds and ends, so we pick them up and go home.

Before 1993, this was a private house. A colleague of my mother lives by the railway and comes out of kindergarten. I often go to his house to watch the universe emperor, because there is no TV at home. Later, after the demolition, he and I became neighbors and lived downstairs in my house. We met every day until his news disappeared from this world. This is another story, not to mention it for the time being. I have forgotten the name of this child, because he has a big head, and we all call him Big Head Lu. He is in several of the most famous legends about the West Railway Station, which may be because he is a screenwriter himself. These legends are about to be told. Now let's talk about big head Lou.

Big head Lu often has some strange ideas because of his big head and big brain hole. It is annoying that he always takes things seriously. For example, before the construction of the West Railway Station, a spire building was built in the west. At that time, it was called ATV Building, and there was a shopping mall in it, but the shopping mall disappeared on the third floor, but this building has 20 floors. Lu Datou said that the upper part of this building is a giant launcher. When necessary, the building can be separated from the left and right, and a steel radio tower can be leaned out. What this tower emits can open a hole in the atmosphere. The proof is that he climbed up by himself and listened to the workers inside. Generally speaking, you can't be a witness to what you say, but this is the style of Lu Datou.

1994, the west station was completed, but it certainly looks very different from now. There were many rumors of opening to traffic at that time. What makes people stunned is that after waiting for a year, the West Railway Station actually started again! This time, on the original flat roof, the big roof of China building was added. Some people say it looks like the Temple of Heaven, but I think it is a huge pavilion. Big head Lu said, do you know? This big roof is a bit strange. Such a big structure costs hundreds of tons! If you add something out of nothing, can you have ulterior motives? Perhaps because most of us scoffed at this, Big Head Lu actually climbed up.

Big head Lu climbed to the fire escape on the roof, and now he is out of sight. It used to be on the east side of the main building of West Railway Station. In the past, workers climbed up to ask for wages, and everyone in our area knew it. Lu Datou claimed that he climbed to the top of the building along this ladder, but was stopped by a group of people wearing dark blue military uniforms. Their hat badge is a cross star they have never seen before. He took a look before being blown away. Guess what, the room is full of computers! The screen is flashy, as big as a color TV and square. Some people in white coats paddle around the screen with their fingers, and some lights around them will change. This is a little scary. When Lu Datou made up this lie, it was 1994. Our understanding of the computer screen is basically a spherical thing, and what he describes is similar to the current touch screen.

1995, the west station was finally opened to traffic. One day, big head Lu said excitedly, watching TV to replay the news at night scared you to death! Then he couldn't help saying that strange pictures were taken in the news. There is a hollow structure under the roof of the West Railway Station, and the whole building forms a doorway. Lu Datou said that when the reporter reported that the West Railway Station was completed, the air in the doorway was distorted and the surrounding walls were bent, as if something had rushed through the doorway from south to north, tearing the space crooked. The friends said, fart, your mother, your TV is distorted! Lu Datou refused to accept, saying that you just wait and see, your TV is not distorted! As a result, this scene was not on the news at night.

There is nothing strange about these two things. After all, Lu Datou was only a teenager at that time, and his nature was unreliable. He ran two trains in his mouth, and no one took it seriously. Five or six years passed quickly, and we all went to college, so we saw Datoulu less often. One summer vacation, big head Lu met several buddies downstairs, and he blew another sentence: Hey, do you know? There is a big disk in the north of the West Railway Station, which is huge and has an antenna. I think it's strange. I'm going to explore Everyone said: Are you crazy? That's the China Millennium Monument. It's not finished yet. Can you go in? Big head Lu ignored us and really left. As a result, he disappeared for a year and dropped out of college. When he came back, the Millennium Monument had been built. Lu Datou stopped talking about the Millennium Monument. Later, many people in Fengtai remembered the "shooting incident at the China Millennium Monument in 2003", but Lu Datou didn't say anything about it, which made us feel that either he finally grew up or it really doesn't matter here, neither of which is what we want to see.

Some people around me still remember the shooting at the Millennium Monument. I stayed at school that day and didn't go home, otherwise I should have just passed the scene by bike. As we all know, the Millennium Monument weighs more than 3,000 tons, but it can rotate. When it rotates, the tip of the top will also rotate with it. This hint is the antenna that Lu Datou said. At the time of the incident, some residents heard a strange pulse sound, which is said to be very similar to the sound of a lightsaber drawn from its sheath in Star Wars. At the same time, a huge beam of blue and white light came out of the antenna, passed through the clouds and shot into the sky. However, this wonderful scene only lasted for a few seconds, leaving no video record.

There is nothing to say about this matter. There are many similarities in Mystery Story, but two details are more interesting. One is a newspaper. Many people remember that a newspaper with a small circulation reported it, which was the only report at that time, but those who left the newspaper at home could not find the news of tofu in their memories, let alone the library files. Another detail is a grandfather named Bai in our building. This man loves birds as much as his life and keeps many kinds of birds. According to Uncle Bai's description, one of his well-trained sparrows suddenly swayed in the air without warning when crossing the doorway of the West Railway Station, fell down and died. The little sparrow is not a real sparrow, but a strong carrier pigeon. Generally speaking, homing pigeons will not die suddenly.

Nevertheless, the direction in which the Millennium Monument fired and the direction in which the sparrow died were different after all, and we didn't connect them at that time. Until this winter, Lu Datou finally spoke again. This time, what he said was different from last time. Because of this, I also noticed.

I moved into the building from 1985 and lived on the top floor. The surrounding sound conditions are very good, in other words, there is a lot of noise. However, the southern part of Beijing was relatively backward at that time. It's all dark at eight or nine in the evening, and there are not many cars. It's basically quiet at night. The loudest sound before dawn every day is the sound of getting up in the nearby naval compound. Children in our area don't need an alarm clock to get up, just listen to the wake-up number. By 2003, I graduated from college and took part in the work. Cheng Nan is also very prosperous, with more private cars and close to the railway. There are many kinds of noises at night, but one of them is very special. For a long time, I couldn't describe the sound. It was not until I got my first turbocharged car more than ten years later that I realized that it was a sound similar to the slow start of a huge turbine. Because I can't describe it, I have asked many relatives and neighbors for more than ten years, and no one has heard of it. It seems that this sound only works for me, but it may also be because the sample size I interviewed is too low. Suppose I interviewed Lu Datou at that time, he would tell me excitedly: You know, I've heard it, too! But I didn't like talking to him at that time.

In fact, Big Head Lu once took the initiative to mention this to me, and it was before I heard the sound. But what he mentioned was not sound, but something that made a sound. When we interrupted, the two things didn't agree. More than ten years later, when Big Head Lu told me his strange talk for the last time, he mentioned this voice again, and there are many others, which I will talk about later.

Lu Datou first mentioned it at the end of 2003. In fact, it's not just him. At that time, this thing became gossip because it was too big and eye-catching. You can't miss it if you walk past the South Square of West Railway Station. This is an urban sculpture, named "Guofeng", which is a huge hollowed-out carved sphere, full of red, composed of three dragons, and some people say it is three giant snakes. In short, it's huge, several stories high. It is said that there is nothing mysterious about this kind of thing, because it is hollow, its internal structure is clear at a glance, and there is nothing. Standing in front of the sculpture, through the gap of the dragon, you can see the roof of China Pavilion in West Railway Station at a glance.

Lu Datou said that there are many energy pipes connected to the underground of this thing, which can gather the energy generated by the huge crowds, cars and tracks around the West Station, compress it through the mysterious structure in the middle of the sphere, and transport it to the big roof, where people wearing cross uniforms will distribute it. We were all shocked when we heard "energy pipeline". I can't believe it was said by a 23-year-old man. Now my son is four years old and often points to the heating pipe and says it is an energy pipe. So, in retrospect, we didn't believe what Lu Datou said at that time, nor was it arbitrary.

Later, Lu Datou basically became a madman. Many Hollywood movies have mad scientists, such as Lu Datou. There are many such people in our country, commonly known as people's subjects. They became monks halfway, studied various natural sciences, cracked Goldbach's conjecture, overturned the laws of thermodynamics and falsified the theory of relativity. Lu Datou is mediocre in this group of people, and his research field is classified as "flying saucer". Big head Lu said angrily that flying saucers are just a drop in the ocean in his research. What he studied was actually a "huge unknown object". He said that there are many records of "huge unidentified objects" in the solar system, but they have not attracted enough attention from human beings. For the safety of all mankind, he must issue a warning. He said this at 20 15. I think he is not far from becoming an Otto soldier.

20 16, Lu Datou disappeared.

I have rented out my house in the south of West Station for three years this year. Because the tenant damaged the heating pipe, the leaked hot water flooded to the third floor, so I had to run back to deal with it. As a result, the heating valve in my house was seriously damaged. If I don't want the owner downstairs to lose all my income, I'll have to find a way to turn off the valve on the fifth floor.

The fifth floor is Lu Datou's house. The year before last, I visited the house. At that time, he was already an unrecognizable figure, wearing thick glasses at the bottom of a bottle, dirty long hair and a school uniform. His whole face is yellow, muscular and very untidy. Judging from that, it is impossible to be an Otto warrior, but it is possible to be a lobster. This is when he said he would give a warning. I came to the corridor on the fifth floor and saw that the water had seeped in from his door. I think this man is either dead or has become a lobster, swimming happily. However, after knocking for a long time, no one came. Today may be a bad day for me. I found a series of unrelated institutions such as neighborhood committees, property, police stations, offices and community service halls, and finally got in touch with Lu Datou's mother. His mother said that he couldn't contact Lu Datou, and he had been missing for a year. His mother has only been to his house once this year and wants to tidy up. It was too messy and there was nowhere to start, so I gave up. She had the key in her hand, so I ran to get it. When I opened the door, I was almost washed away by boiling water.

After turning off the valve, I shoveled the water into the toilet and emptied it, cleaning up the papers and photos floating on the water. Most of the paper is soaked, and the ink on it is very light and difficult to identify. I'm too lazy to identify it. I just came to close the valve. But a few pieces of paper caught my attention.

This is a series of sketches pinned with cotton thread, which is very delicate. Sign your name at the bottom, fly and fly, and only recognize one word. So I don't know Lu Datou's name yet. I am familiar with the content of the sketch, which is the West Railway Station. It's just that each one draws some special effects of 50 cents with the unique light and dark brushwork of pencil sketch, which is different from the real West Railway Station. Look carefully, it seems to be a schematic diagram of some kind of working principle.

The first is the "national wind". The statue in the picture draws abundant energy from the ground, and the center of the ball emits faint light. Although it is black and white, it actually gives people a blue-green illusion.

The second one is hard to describe. If flawed expression is allowed, an invisible sphere will break away from the "national wind" and rush to the doorway of the west station, pulling the square space to the north and deforming it. The defect of this expression is that the ball is actually visible, but it leaves an invisible impression. If you want to describe it, it can be said to be a bolt of lightning.

The third is the Millennium Monument, but it is not the altar body, but the bronze tunnel on the south side. The tunnel in the picture seems to have melted and turned into a hot fluid, speeding up and rushing to the altar.

The fourth picture shows the unique horn of the Millennium Monument, which is the antenna mentioned by Lu Datou. A thick beam of light rose into the sky and shot into space through the clouds.

The fifth picture shows a row of soldiers standing on a rostrum to watch this spectacle, and a cross star pattern is faintly visible on their armbands. Judging from the sphere in the square in front of them, their position is the big roof of the West Railway Station, and the mysterious mechanism that Lu Datou once climbed up and saw the touch screen was blown up.

The sixth is the solar system. This picture took a lot of pencils, because it was drawn with blank space, the space background was blackened, and then the light beam emitted by the earth was erased. The target of the light beam is the sun, and some long black spots are suspended near the sun.

The seventh picture is a panoramic view. On a straight line from south to north, there are the huge spherical sculpture "Guofeng" in the center of the South Square, the main building of the West Railway Station with peculiar Hong Ting, the North Square of the West Railway Station, Yangfangdian Road, the bronze aisle of the Millennium Monument, the flame, the Millennium Monument and the unicorn antenna in turn. A blue line runs through the axis from "National Wind" to the antenna. This line may have been originally drawn with a blue ballpoint pen, but it became thick and curved after being dipped in water, and the blue veins were exposed, just like an electric current.

This photo has a title:

Beijing fortress

The eighth is Jason's painting, which is comparable to The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival. If later historians get this manuscript, they will have a heart attack on the spot. This painting depicts the familiar South Square of the West Railway Station, including the ticket office, ticket collection office, small storage room, railway express line, the entrance to the waiting hall, subway station, the entrance to Lianhuachi Park in the west, the 109 road station in the east (now gone), and thousands of passengers in Qian Qian. They sit or stand, shoulder or hand, run or cry, stretch out their hands to stop the car, or make a phone call. They are all kinds of people with high level. I never thought that big head Lu still had such a skill. Of course, there are so many things I don't know about him that we don't even know him. I don't even know his name, and even read his signature. At the top of the signature, there are two big words. Compared with the artistic height of painting, the figure can only be said to be in the third grade of primary school. It says:

"To commemorate the second successful ignition of the 20 15 Beijing Fortress, and to pay tribute to all those who have contributed to the protection of the solar system"

At the end of the word, a winding arrow was drawn, pointing to a member of the crowd in the square. The man stood on the head of the "national wind" and opened his arms as if to hold the big ball. This man has a big head, and he is probably Lu Datou himself.

Fin.

Key words: energy pipeline, huge unknown object, neighbor's story, sketch.
