Chapter 1
Pipilu and Lu Xixi used to live in an old-fashioned building. Even their parents couldn't tell in what era this building was built. The walls of the building are thick and strong, and they are warm in winter and cool in summer.
One afternoon, Pipilu and Lu Xixi were doing homework at home after school.
Lu Xixi wrote for a while and felt a little cold. She opened the closet door and got in to find a sweater.
The closet in Lu Xixi’s house is very large, and several people can stand in it. Lu Xixi and Pipilu often played hide and seek in there when they were children.
Pipilu was doing homework carelessly in his room, when he heard a "bang" sound, the door was knocked open, and Lu Xixi burst into her brother's room out of breath. His face turned pale.
"Brother...brother..." Lu Xixi was so nervous that she could not speak.
"What's the matter?" Pipilu asked nonchalantly.
"Go, go...see..." Lu Xixi still didn't match her words.
"What happened?" Pipilu found it funny when he saw his sister scared like this.
Lu Xixi pulled Pipilu towards her room.
Pipilu walked into her sister’s room, and there was nothing scary! Lu Xixi lured Pipilu to the closet and said to him: "Open the door and take a look." Piru opened the closet door grandly and couldn't help but let out an "ah" sound, and then took a breath of cold air.
A large black hole appeared on the wall of the closet. The hole was rectangular, and cold air was spraying out from the hole.
"This..." Now it was Pipilu's turn to be surprised. He looked at Lu Xixi.
"I was looking for a sweater in the closet, and suddenly I heard a 'crash' sound, and in a blink of an eye, there was such a big hole in the wall." Lu Xixi told Pipilu what happened with lingering fear.
"Darkroom!" Pipiru said firmly. He recalled the descriptions of darkrooms in many movies and novels.
"You must have accidentally touched the switch of the darkroom door, and it opened automatically!" Pipilu concluded that this was the case, "Think about it carefully." Lu Xixi recalled what she had just said Where did it hit.
"I remember," Lu Xixi pointed to the corner of the closet and said, "That's right there!" "Where is it?" Pipiru couldn't figure out the location, "Come closer." Lu Xixi didn't dare approach the closet. Pipilu found a bamboo pole and handed it to Lu Xixi.
"Point to where it is." Pipilu said.
Lu Xixi pointed to Pipilu with a bamboo stick. Sure enough, there was a small raised piece in the corner of the wall, which could not be found at all under normal circumstances.
Pipilu bravely walked into the closet and pressed the small bump with his hand.
There was a loud "clang" sound, and Pipilu jumped out of the closet in fright.
When they looked into the closet again, the hole was gone! The walls were all neat and tidy, and there was no trace of the black hole at all.
"Darkroom! A real darkroom!!" Pipilu shouted excitedly. Discovering a darkroom that no one knew about in his own home was as significant to Pipiru as the astronauts first landed on the moon.
"What are the things in this dark room?" Pipilu began to use his imagination. "Are they all machine guns and pistols? Or is it a secret passage? Maybe it can lead to a very far place. ?It would be great if it was connected to the bottom of my classroom. From now on, we will use the secret passage to go to school. The teacher just said why Pipilu hasn’t come to class yet? I came out of the ground, hey!"
The more Pipilu thought about it, the more beautiful it became. He got into the closet and pressed the small bump on the corner. The door of the darkroom opened. He pressed it again, and the door of the darkroom closed obediently.
Pipiru happily patted her sister and said, "Lu Xixi, you are so great! I will mark the merits for you! However, I have to ask you something. Don't tell your parents about this darkroom, okay?" "?" Pipilu would never praise his sister for no reason. Every praise was followed by conditions.
"Why?" Lu Xixi couldn't wait to tell her parents right away.
"The adults will lose interest once they find out.
Maybe there is a fun place here!" Pipilu knew that her sister was usually worried about having no place to play.
"Okay, I won't talk about it yet. "Lu Xixi agreed. She began to find this mysterious darkroom interesting.
"We have to give this darkroom a name. ....." Pipilu said.
"Let's call it 309 Darkroom!!" Lu Xixi suggested. Because their house number is 309.
"Okay, It's called 309 Darkroom. "Pipilu agreed. He felt that Lu Xixi discovered the darkroom, and the honor of naming it should go to her.
"Let's go in and take a look now!" Pipilu didn't want to delay for a minute. He was eager to know the inside story of the darkroom.
"I dare not go in." "Lu Xixi has always been brave enough to show her timidity.
"Then I will go in by myself, and you will meet me outside. "Pipilu doesn't change his mind," "If mom and dad come back, call me quickly." "Lu Xixi agreed.
Pipiru found a flashlight and a wooden stick as a self-defense weapon. After everything was ready, he opened the door of the 309 darkroom.
There was a very narrow and steep staircase in the darkroom. Pipiru walked down the stairs with a flashlight.
"Be careful!" Lu Xixi told her brother outside. >
"No problem!" Pipilu's voice came from the dark room.
Five minutes passed.
Ten minutes passed. .
Half an hour has passed...
Pipilu hasn't come out yet!
"Pipilu--" Lu Xixi was afraid. , shouting loudly to the darkroom
