Hey - come out
[Edit this paragraph] Original text
After a typhoon, the sky is clear.
In a suburb not far from the city, a village was devastated by a typhoon. However, the damage was not too serious. Only the small temple at the foot of the mountain outside the village was uprooted by the typhoon, and no one was injured.
The next morning, people in the village started talking about it after learning about it.
"Which dynasty did that temple come from?"
"Who knows, it was a long time ago."
"It must be rebuilt as soon as possible. Build a new temple."
While everyone was talking to each other, several people ran over in panic.
“What’s wrong, we’ve gotten into big trouble!”
“What’s going on? Is it nearby?”
“No, we have to go a little further, just Over there."
At this time, a person suddenly turned pale and exclaimed: "Hey, come and see. What is going on with this hole?"
p>Everyone ran over and took a look, and there was indeed a hole in the ground, about one meter in diameter. People stuck their heads and looked inside, but it was so dark that they couldn't see anything. However, people have an unfathomable feeling that this hole seems to lead all the way to the center of the earth.
One person doubted him and said, "Isn't it a fox hole?"
A young man shouted loudly into the hole.
"Hey - come out!"
However, there was no echo coming from the bottom of the cave. So, he picked up a small stone nearby and prepared to throw it into the hole.
A timid old man waved his hands tremblingly, trying to dissuade the young people from doing this.
"Don't throw this down. You might get some terrible punishment."
However, the young man had already taken the lead and threw the stone into the hole. inside. However, there was still no echo coming from the bottom of the cave.
The villagers cut down many branches and tied them with ropes one by one to make a fence and surrounded the hole. Then, they returned to the village for the time being.
"What should we do next?"
"Let's build a temple on top of this hole as it was before."
Everyone was talking about it. They discussed it tongue-in-cheek, with different opinions and no consensus. The day passed like this. Well-informed newspaper reporters quickly heard about the incident and rushed over in cars. After a while, scientists and scholars also heard about it. Moreover, everyone showed an extremely knowledgeable and omniscient look, looking into the cave calmly. Afterwards, a large group of people came one after another to watch the fun. Some people looked at the hole over and over again, with greedy eyes in their eyes, constantly thinking: Can they make any profit from it? Should they buy the patent right to this hole at a high price as soon as possible? Police officers from the police station stood guard around the entrance of the cave to prevent anyone from accidentally falling down.
A news reporter took a long thin rope, tied a weight to one end, and carefully lowered it down. Gradually, the rope was lowered one foot at a time. However, after all the ropes were released, it could not be pulled up. He called two or three people over to help. Everyone worked together and pulled hard, but the rope broke somewhere in the hole. A reporter with a camera in his hand saw this situation and silently took off the strong thick rope tied around his waist.
A scholar asked someone to bring a high-power amplifier from the research institute to conduct frequency analysis on the echoes coming from the bottom of the cave. However, he fiddled with the loudspeaker for a long time and tried all kinds of sounds, but he didn't hear even the slightest echo. The scholar felt quite puzzled. He thought hard about what this meant. However, you must not let it go and be ridiculed in front of everyone. He placed the loudspeaker close to the entrance of the cave and turned the volume to the maximum. The deafening sound came out of the loudspeaker continuously and continuously for a long time. If it is on the ground, people dozens of kilometers away can hear this sound. However, this hole welcomes all comers and swallows up all the sounds.
The scholar couldn't help but feel a little guilty. He pretended to be calm and confident, turned off the loudspeaker, and ordered in an unquestionable tone: "Fill it out quickly!"
Although the matter is not clear yet, it is better to deal with it as soon as possible to avoid making a fool of yourself in public.
Did it just end so hastily? Those who were watching the excitement around felt a little pity. But there is no other way. It seems that I have no choice but to return disappointed. At this moment, a man sweating profusely squeezed out of the crowd and suggested loudly: "Please give me this hole. I will fill it for you."
He was the one. The speculator who originally planned to pay a high price to buy the patent rights of this hole.
However, the village chief disagreed.
"It is a good thing that you are willing to fill up this hole for us, but this hole cannot be given to you. Because we must build a temple on it."
"Please Don't worry, I will build you a more outstanding temple right away, and it will also have a square, how about it?" Before the village chief had time to answer, the villagers shouted in unison. "Is this true? It would be nice if it were built closer to our village."
"What's so strange about a hole? I'll give it to you now."
So, the deal was finalized. Of course, the village chief had no choice but to agree to this.
The businessman who bought the patent rights fulfilled his promise in accordance with the contract. Closer to the village, a small temple was built with an accompanying square.
During the autumn harvest season of this year, the patent owner founded a novel "hole-filling company." A small house was built near the hole, with a small signboard on the door.
Then, the patent owner asked his partners to run around the city and use various methods to promote it.
“Our company has a wonderful unfathomable hole. According to scholars’ estimates, its depth is at least five thousand meters. This is the best place to contain hazardous materials such as nuclear waste from atomic energy reactors. . This opportunity must not be missed, the time will never come again!”
Soon, the relevant government departments issued the business license. Many atomic power generation companies rushed to sign contracts. At the beginning, people in the village were a little worried, afraid that something would happen. However, the "hole filling company" sent people to explain to them that this was a very safe hole and would never cause any harm to the ground even after thousands of years. In addition, the villagers can also benefit from it. After everyone understood this, they felt relieved. Moreover, a modern highway leading from the city to the village was quickly opened to traffic.
Trucks were driving on the road, bringing in many large boxes made of lead. The lid automatically opened over the hole, and the waste from the atomic power reactor poured into the hole.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Defense threw the unused confidential documents into the safe together with them. The government officials who came with the car to perform supervision tasks talked about playing golf easily, while those with lower positions were throwing various documents and talking about the pinball room.
It seems that this hole will never be filled. Everyone agrees that this is an unfathomable bottomless pit, and perhaps the diameter of the hole becomes larger as you go deeper. The business scale of the "hole-filling company" gradually expanded.
The carcasses of animals used in infectious disease experiments at the university were brought in, and there were also many unclaimed homeless bodies among them. Relevant parties have formulated a plan to lay a large number of pipes to discharge all the city's waste and sewage into this hole. This method is much smarter than dumping pollution into the ocean.
This hole brings great relief to the residents living in the city. In recent times, due to people's desperate efforts to expand the scale of production, extremely serious public harm has been caused to the city. However, it is very difficult to control these public hazards, and it is very difficult for everyone. Moreover, people are only willing to work in productive enterprises or commercial companies, and no one wants to deal with all kinds of garbage every day. However, people now believe that this social problem will be gradually and properly solved by this hole.
The engaged girls all threw their old diaries into this hole. Some people threw the photos they took with their former lovers into the hole, and then started a new relationship with peace of mind.
After the police confiscated those counterfeit banknotes that were extremely cleverly forged, they all were handed over to this hole for processing, so that they would be foolproof from now on. The criminals quietly threw all kinds of criminal evidence into the hole, thinking that they could get away with it.
No matter what is thrown in, this generous hole treats everything equally and receives it without fail. This hole works hard to clean the entire city of all kinds of dirty things. Gradually, the ocean and sky turned into beautiful blue again, looking like transparent glass from a distance.
Under the blue sky, newly built high-rise buildings have sprung up one after another like bamboo shoots after a rain.
One day, a worker climbed to the top of a building under construction to work. After riveting a rivet, he put down his tools and took a short rest. Suddenly, he heard a strange cry above his head.
"Hey - come out!"
However, he raised his head and looked at the sky, but there was nothing. The sky was clear and as clear as water. He thought he was a little dizzy from doing it just now and had some misunderstanding. Then, just as he was returning to his previous position and about to take a good rest, a stone flew over from the direction where the sound had just come from, passed in front of him, and fell to the ground.
However, he just squinted his eyes and looked at the distant horizon triumphantly. Ah, our city is becoming more and more beautiful!
Of course, that insignificant little stone did not attract his attention at all.
