Chapter 17, The Power of Science

After Wang Zhaojuan finished speaking, she couldn't hold back anymore, covered her face and cried, her crying was full of grievances and sadness...

Zhu Xinyan comforted Wang Zhaojuan on the side. At this time, Wang Zhaojuan's mother came out of the room with a cane. Wang Zhaojuan's mother is at most fifty years old, but she can walk staggeringly and must rely on crutches.

"Juan'er, there's a guest at home. Wang Zhaojuan's mother saw the three of them sitting on a small stool in the living room with Wang Fujuan

Seeing her mother come out of the room, Wang Zhaojuan stopped crying, stood up and hugged her mother, "Mom! you are not well, don't go out and walk around, I will help you back to bed." ”

Even though she was supported by Wang Zhaojuan, Wang Zhaojuan's mother still turned her head and said to the three of Dianpu in a weak voice, "Since you are here, come here to finish dinner in the evening." The three of them felt sad in their hearts, especially Zhu Xinyan, whose eyes were already red.

After helping her mother back to the bed, Wang Zhaojuan came out of the room, took out a box of dried yak and handed it to Zhu Xinyan and the others, "There are no good things to entertain you at home, you can eat first, and I will prepare dinner." ”

Zhu Xinyan followed Wang Zhaojuan into the kitchen, "I'll help you!"

Dian Pu and Zhu Xintian looked at Wang Fujuan's humble home, and then looked at the dried yak in front of them, they were reluctant to eat a bite, maybe this dried yak was taken out by Wang Fujuan's mother and daughter during the Chinese New Year.

In the kitchen, Zhu Xinyan asked Wang Zhaojuan while washing vegetables, "What's wrong with your mother?

"Five years ago, after my father and brother had an accident, she fell ill, and since then she has not eaten much and vomited when she eats too much. Later, I also found a doctor to see him, but the doctor said that it was a heart disease and they couldn't cure it. Wang Zhaojuan said helplessly

"Actually, we are not mortal immortals in the sky, just ordinary people. But don't worry, we're willing to help you! Take us to see the Sushen Lake tomorrow! If there are really monsters in the lake, we will definitely not let it go!" Zhu Xinyan assured Wang Zhaojuan

Early the next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, and most of the villagers had not woken up, Wang Zhaojuan took Zhu Xinyan and the three out of the village, and when they arrived at Sushen Lake, the sun had just risen.

The water of Sushen Lake is turquoise, and the surface of the lake is not particularly large, and it looks like an oval piece of jasper from a distance. The surface of Sushen Lake is rippled by microwaves, and the lake is surrounded by green hills. With this clear water and blue sky, Zhu Xinyan really didn't expect that there would be monsters in this lake.

The four of them stood by the lake at a loss, they didn't know how to deal with the monsters in the lake, especially Zhu Xinyan, she was excited yesterday, and she agreed to help Wang Zhaojuan deal with the monsters in the lake. But when she looked at the calm and green lake, she also began to doubt, I don't know if there are monsters in this lake, it seems that she promised too hastily, if there are really monsters in the lake, then it will be difficult to deal with it! After all, the monsters are in the lake, and this lake has an area of at least more than 1,000 acres.

Soon after, a pickup truck approached in the distance, with a small boat in the back. Zhu Xinyan and Zhu Xintian were shocked when they saw a car for the first time! Zhu Xintian even opened his bow and aimed at the pickup truck, and Dianpu hurriedly stopped Zhu Xintian and explained, "Don't be afraid! This is a car, for people to ride, equivalent to an ancient carriage!"

The pickup truck stopped not far from Zhu Xinyan's four people, and three people got out of the car, two young people, a man and a woman, and an old man with glasses. The old man is estimated to be sixty years old.

Seeing someone get out of the car, Zhu Xintian put down his bow and arrows and inserted the arrows back into the quiver on his back.

After the two young men helped the old man down from the back seat of the pickup truck, they also moved the boat behind the pickup truck, and then took out a bunch of instruments from the car.

The old man walked up to Zhu Xinyan and asked, "Hello, are you locals?"

Subsequently, Wang Zhaojuan communicated with the old man and learned that the old man's surname was Chu, and he was a professor engaged in biological research, and he heard about the tragic incident that happened in this lake during the Dragon Boat Festival a few years ago, so today he took his two students to this Sushen Lake to find out.

Wang Zhaojuan said to Professor Chu: "It's useless, just rely on the three of you to find out something? When the Dragon Boat Festival incident happened, my father, brother, and younger brother all died in this lake! After that, more than a dozen boats of the salvage team searched in this lake for half a month, and except for some boat debris, not even a single corpse was found. ”

Professor Chu comforted Wang Zhaojuan, "Child, I understand your feelings, but now is the age of science, where are there any monsters? Child, you have to believe in science!"

"That's right, if you say that there are water monsters in this lake, and there are unknown creatures that humans have not yet discovered, then I believe it! But if you say that there are monsters, it would be too, do you have a picture of a monster? Do you have any video materials of monsters?" Professor Chu's male student, Xiao Sun, has been an atheist since he was a child and only believes in science.

"That's right, we will use scientific methods to prove that there are no monsters in this world at all! You have to believe in the power of science!"

Dian Waterfall couldn't stand it anymore, he wanted to come forward and reason with Professor Chu, but he was stopped by Zhu Xinyan, Zhu Xinyan whispered, "We are here to help, or don't make a noise, the more people know about our affairs, the more trouble it will be for us!"

Zhu Xintian pulled Dianpu aside and whispered, "We have to keep a low profile, we are still ordinary people filming, aren't we?"

Wang Zhaojuan was not convinced, looked at Zhu Xinyan and the three of them and said, "I only believe in the three of them!"

Xiao Sun and Xiao Ding looked at the three of them at the same time, they all wanted to laugh, and Xiao Sun couldn't help laughing, "Just the three of them? ”

"What are you talking about! You have the ability to fight alone!" Dian Pu walked towards Xiao Sun with a long axe, and scared Xiao Sun back again and again! Zhu Xinyan and Zhu Xintian grabbed Dian Waterfall by one hand and dragged Dian Waterfall away, Zhu Xinyan said, "Calm down! Calm down! Don't be impulsive!"

Professor Chu hurriedly came out to play a round and reprimanded Xiao Sun, "How do you talk! Apologize to them!" After Xiao Sun apologized, Professor Chu then said to Dianpu and them, "I'm really sorry, I didn't take care of my students... ”

"Come on, come on, let's see what you can work out!"

Xiao Ding and Xiao Sun took out an underwater camera from the car, and after bringing all the advanced instruments to the boat, the three of them pushed the boat to row to the center of the lake, and the four of them stood on the shore to observe.

After the boat rowed to the center of the lake, Professor Chu and the three took out their instruments to measure the water in the lake, measuring the depth and pH, and finally, they slowly lowered the waterproof underwater camera with a rope and observed the underwater situation with a display screen on the boat.

After more than two hours, the boat rowed back to the shore, and Dianpu stepped forward and asked Professor Chu, "How is it?"

"Of course! We finally know why there were huge whirlpools on the surface of the lake during the Dragon Boat Festival a few years ago, causing several dragon boats to capsize!" Professor Chu said quite excitedly!

As soon as she heard that she had made a discovery, Wang Zhaojuan also hurriedly ran over, and Zhu Xinyan and the three of them also came around.

Professor Chu showed the underwater camera image to the four people at the waterfall and explained, "Do you see this big hole at the bottom of the lake? I guess this big hole at the bottom of the lake leads to another lake! If the water level of Lake A drops, then the water of Sushen Lake will flow to Lake A, which will cause a whirlpool in the center of Sushen Lake! But the premise of this is that the water level of Lake A must drop quickly and in a large area, so that the water of Sushen Lake will flow to Lake A instantly, and a large whirlpool will appear in Sushen Lake instantly! However, it is unlikely that the water level of Lake A will suddenly drop rapidly and in a large area, and excluding human factors, if it is said that various factors in nature have caused the water level of Lake A to drop in a large area, it may take decades, or even hundreds of years, to happen! And what I am saying is not conclusive, and it is only a rough guess at present. ”

"Then if you fill in the big hole under Sushen Lake, won't there be a whirlpool?" Dian Pu asked Professor Chu

"Theoretically, yes, we just explored the lake with an underwater camera, and there is only this big hole at the bottom of the lake. Professor Chu said

"Okay, I'll go down and have a look!" Dawn said and prepared to undress

Everyone was shocked! Professor Chu hurriedly said to Dianpu: "Young man, don't be impulsive! The bottom of this lake is more than 20 meters deep! Not to mention that ordinary people can't dive to this depth, even if you can dive so deep, you can't hold it underwater for so long!"

Zhu Xinyan grabbed Dian Pu's arm: "That's it, just listen to the professor!

Dian Waterfall said to Zhu Xinyan, "Don't worry, there is a pond at the foot of the mountain of our naked sweat gate, which is also a few meters deep. I often swim there and hold my breath, and I don't have any problems holding my breath for five or six minutes!" Of course, Dian Waterfall wanted to be in a hurry to perform! A while ago in the Black Array Forest, he wanted to perform in front of Zhu Xinyan, but not only was he hit by a tree stump, but he was also beaten by Zhenshan Biao and Haibian! Now, he doesn't want to give up the opportunity to perform!

Ignoring everyone's dissuasion, Dian Pu put aside the long axe and the big sword on his back, and then took off only a pair of pants, and then said to Professor Chu, "Professor Chu, lend me this boat!" After speaking, he ran to the boat and wanted to go rowing, Professor Chu hurriedly called out to him, "Young man, wait! Since you insist on going to the bottom of the lake, I won't stop you." Besides, I can't stop you with this physique, but I'll give you something first!"

Professor Chu asked Xiao Sun to take the diving goggles in the car to Dianpu, and then said, "I came in a hurry this time, I forgot to bring my diving suit, but there is still a diving goggle, you can wear it! It's better than nothing, right." Dian Pu brought diving goggles and bowed to Professor Chu, "Thank you!"

But at this time, Wang Zhaojuan was anxious: "Forget it, you better not go! I, I don't need your help! You get off the boat! The bottom of this lake is too deep! Please!" But Dianpu is determined to go to the bottom of the lake.

Zhu Xintian didn't worry about Dianpu, and also stepped on the boat, and then said to Dianpu, "Let's row together, so that we can take care of each other!" Zhu Xinyan also wanted to get on the boat, but was pulled by Professor Chu, "I can't go up anymore, this boat is almost overweight!" Zhu Xinyan was helpless, so she could only wait anxiously on the shore, after all, one on the boat was her own brother, and the other was someone she liked, and she suddenly understood Wang Zhaojuan's mood at the moment.

After the boat rowed to the center of the lake, Dianpu jumped into the lake without waiting for Zhu Xintian to speak!

After swimming to the bottom of the lake with strong buoyancy, Dianpu found a large black hole not far away, the entrance of the hole was nearly three meters wide, and there were a lot of fallen leaves and branches piled up around it. He swam to the entrance of the cave and looked inside, it was pitch black and bottomless, and he hurriedly looked around, but fortunately there was a pile of stones not far from the entrance of the cave. He swam to the rocks and found that the stones were large and small, the largest ones were several meters high and several heavy. After swimming to a stone nearly four meters high, he pushed the big stone hard, fortunately, the big stone was still relatively round, and under his push, the big stone was slowly rolling towards the black hole. But not long after, he felt that his strength was about to run out, but when he thought of Zhu Xinyan, he didn't want to give up, so he gritted his teeth and persevered.

Just as Dianpu pushed the big stone towards the black hole, he found that the big stone in front of him stopped in front of the black hole, as if it was stuck by some branch. Dian Waterfall couldn't care so much, he gritted his teeth and used his last bit of strength to push the big boulder! As the big stone was pushed, the Dianpu was also pushed away a few meters away by this reaction force! Then, the big stone blocked the black hole, and Dian Waterfall also used all his strength, his eyes were dark again, his brain was dizzy, and he slowly closed his eyes.

Zhu Xintian, who was standing on the boat at this moment, was also anxious, he saw that the waterfall had not come up for so long, so he kept looking left and right on the boat, fidgeting.

A few minutes later, a burst of bubbles came out of the bottom of the water, and then the unconscious Dianwaterfall also floated up from the bottom of the water and floated on the surface of the lake about ten meters away from Zhu Xintian. Zhu Xintian hurriedly rowed the boat over, and it took a lot of effort to drag the waterfall from the lake onto the boat, during which the boat almost overturned several times.

When Zhu Xintian rowed the boat back to the shore, everyone gathered and they lifted the waterfall off the boat. Zhu Xinyan hurriedly grabbed Zhu Xintian's hand and asked how the waterfall was. Zhu Xintian reassured Zhu Xinyan that the waterfall was still angry, but he fainted, and as for what the waterfall did at the bottom of the lake, Zhu Xintian didn't know.

Professor Chu hurriedly gave Dian Waterfall artificial respiration first, and then pressed on his chest. Dianpu spit out a few mouthfuls of water and woke up, looking at everyone surrounding him, he opened his mouth with a sentence "Blocked, blocked, the hole at the bottom of the lake, hahahaha... Hungry, cough cough cough~~"

Zhu Xinyan punched Dian Pu in the chest in distress, "You crazy man, you don't want to die! Hmph!" and then stood up and turned his head to sulk.

After thanking Professor Chu, Dian Pu also thought about it himself, if it weren't for Professor Chu and their help today, then there would be nothing they could do about this Sushen Lake! He hurriedly said to Professor Chu, "Thank you! Professor Chu! I finally saw the power of science today! It's amazing!"

After bidding farewell to Professor Chu and the three of them, the four of Dianpu also returned to Qingwo Village with Wang Zhaojuan. Along the way, Dian Waterfall and Zhu Xintian coaxed and persuaded for a while, even boasted and deceived, but they failed to coax Zhu Xinyan well. In the end, it was Wang Zhaojuan who came out of the horse, "Sister Zhu, you are the original Brother Dianpu, he is also in a hurry to help me go to the bottom of the lake, if you want to blame me, blame me... What's more, Brother Dianpu is also safe and sound, and the hole at the bottom of the lake has been blocked, you have really helped me a lot! My father and brother can also look at the Nine Springs!"

After Zhu Xinyan heard this, most of her anger disappeared, she turned her head and stared at Dian Waterfall with sharp eyes! Dian Waterfall immediately felt shuddered, and trembled all over! Zhu Xinyan said, "You must listen to me in whatever you do in the future! Otherwise, you should go back to your naked sweat door! Don't follow us! Hmph!"

Hearing Zhu Xinyan say this, Dian Pu was so frightened that he almost knelt down, "Don't, don't! Don't drive me away, I'll listen to you in the future!"
