Chapter 66: Malicious Intentions from the Designer
After listening to Zhai Yewan's analysis, Du Yanwan involuntarily swept over the position he pointed to just now, and found that it was indeed smoother than other places, which should be caused by perennial water washing.
"But why do you want to?" Why should a good golden statue be kept under the water and washed around?
"It should be related to an old incident in Qiu Yaoguo."
"Qiu Yaoguo?"
"Front."
"I see."
I didn't expect it to involve the affairs of the previous dynasty, not long after Du Yanwan crossed over, the current situation has not been much understood, where do you know the affairs of the previous dynasty?
"What happened in the previous dynasty to have this well and this golden statue in front of you? I watched as the statue was placed in this position, not as if it was to be honored as tribute, but as if someone was going to punish the man. ”
Let him be washed away by the water day and night, as if such pain could fall on that man.
"And the expression on this person's face is also painful, as if he is suffering a great pain."
Du Yanwan noticed this detail later, he had been looking for mechanisms on the wall before, and he had ignored the golden statue itself.
"You are right, the purpose of the person who built this well is to punish this person, and this person is none other than Qiu Yaoguo."
After Zhai Yeqi's explanation, Du Yanwan learned that the last monarch of Qiu Yaoguo had a violent and murderous personality and acted very absurdly, because of his wrong decision, thousands of people were drowned in the water.
This incident aroused the resentment of the people, but the rule at that time was very strict, and the people did not dare to openly say that the emperor was not, so they secretly built this well to vent their dissatisfaction.
Later, Qiu Yaoguo was destroyed, and the well was abandoned.
"Since the water will flow in after a while, does that mean the outlet is on this?"
"It's also possible that somewhere down there, the water comes in and then disappears after a short time, either it flows out, or it dries itself out, and it's not easy to dry up so much water, so there's only one possibility, they flow out."
After listening to Zhai Yeqi's analysis, Du Yanwan's eyes became brighter and brighter.
"Now we just have to wait until the switch is turned on, and we can find the exit according to the direction of the water!"
Zhai Yeqi nodded.
"But how long will it take for this switch to turn on on its own?"
"It's supposed to be noon."
"Why?"
"That's when the catastrophe happened, so it's probably the hour."
"Makes sense." Du Yanwan nodded, "Now that the hour has passed, we should have to wait another hour." ”
So now all the two can do is wait. Du Yanwan found a clean place and waited with Zhai Yeqi. She never thought time would pass so slowly, and she waited until she was about to fall asleep, when she finally heard the sound overhead.
"There's movement, there's movement!" The sleepy insect ran out immediately, and Du Yanwan pulled Zhai Yeqian beside him and said excitedly.
As soon as her words fell, a stream of water rushed down from the top of the statue's head.
Du Yanwan was dumbfounded, she didn't expect the falling water to be so big, she just thought about escaping from the direction where the water flowed out, now it seems that she is simply looking for death, the momentum of the water is so big, it's strange that she can swim through!
And she seems to have forgotten that she doesn't know how to swim at all!
"Click" "Click"
Not long after the water poured in, a sound of mechanical rotation was heard, and a wall suddenly rose in front of him, trapping Du Yanwan and Zhai Yeyan in a small space.
Neither of them had time to react, and by the time they came to their senses, the wall had already risen.
With the continuous influx of water, the water level in the small space is also rising higher and higher, and the surroundings seem to be impermeable, and there is no place to drain water at all.
The shoes and skirt were already wet with water, and Du Yanwan's face couldn't help but show a touch of anxiety.
What's going on? Didn't you say that when good water poured in, there would be a drain? Why did a door appear to lock the two of them up?
Could it be that the judgment of the two just now was wrong?
After being puzzled for a while, Du Yanwan figured it out.
The designer probably wanted to make the king of the dead country taste the feeling of being suffocated by water, so there was such a design.
If her idea was not wrong, it might not leak until the entire space was filled with water, and it was at that time that the two of them could find the outlet.
"What the hell is this design."
couldn't help but complain silently, Du Yanwan found that the water level was rising very fast, and in just a while, the water had spread to her calves.
It is estimated that it will not be long before the entire interior will be filled with water, but I don't know how long she will last.
If it is according to the designer's thoughts, Du Yanwan is sure that after the water is full, it will definitely stay for a long time before it gradually leaks out.
Zhai Yeqian naturally thought of it, and didn't know where to take out a water bladder, and then started, filling it with air.
In the blink of an eye, the water level rose again, and it was originally only at the position of Du Yanwan's calf, but now it has spread to her waist.
She couldn't swim, so she had to find a place to stand on a high point, and after a while the water level spread up again, directly above her chest, and in a few moments it was about to flood her mouth and nose.
Zhai Yeqi is okay, he can swim.
Seeing Zhai Yewan floating on the water, and the place where she could stand was getting smaller and smaller, Du Yanwan began to regret that she hadn't learned to swim back then, and the water covered Du Yanwan's lips after a while, and then slowly covered her nose.
Gradually, she was about to lose her breath, she was a little flustered, and struggled to worry about her toes, but because of the unstable center of gravity, she fell directly into the water.
"Plop" startled a huge splash.
"Plop plop" because Du Yan fluttered in the water at night, and there was a splash on the water surface.
Due to the panic just now, she had choked several mouthfuls of water in succession, and a tingling pain came from her chest, but she felt that she could not find any leverage.
Suddenly, her arm was grabbed, Du Yanwan fluttered, and after a while, she was pulled out of the water.
Du Yanwan couldn't help coughing a few times, and she was still a little palpitating at this time, "Ahem, Lord Zhai, cough ......."
Zhai Yeyan didn't say a word, but his hand kept holding Du Yanwan's arm.
Pulled by Zhai Yeqi, Du Yanwan was saved from splashing in the water, and after calming down for a while, her chest was not as painful as before, and now she felt that the air around her was getting thinner and thinner, and she could only breathe more air, because she might not be able to breathe after a while.
It didn't take long for the water level to flood the heads of the two men, and after a while it reached the top.
Du Yanwan and Zhai Yewan had sunk underwater at this time, and it was dark under the water surface, Du Yanwan couldn't see anything at all, but fortunately, Zhai Yewan's silk had always been wrapped around Du Yanwan's waist, which made her feel a lot more stable.
At the moment, she can only rely on Zhai Yeqi to find the exit, she can't see anything in this dark environment, even if she wants to help, she can't help.
When Zhai Yewan left, he gave Du Yanwan the bag of air that had been packed before, and Du Yanwan opened the plug when he couldn't stand it anymore and bit the mouth of the bottle.
On the other side, Zhai Yewan also found the location of the exit according to the direction of the water flow, and used internal force to break a hole in that place.
Du Yanwan received the information and swam in the direction of Zhai Yeqi.
After some diving, the two went out, and then floated downstream, I don't know how long they floated, a bright light gradually appeared in front of them, and soon the two of them floated into a river, Zhai Yeqian hooked the stones on the opposite bank with the silk of the sky, and with a force on his hand, the bodies of the two suddenly flew out of the water.
Finally landed on the shore, Du Yanwan was exhausted.
The sun shone on her skin, and she couldn't help but curl her lips and laugh, it felt so good to be alive.
As soon as the mountain wind blew, she couldn't help but shudder and sneezed. At this time, she realized that her head was dizzy and her body was also very heavy, and she touched her forehead with the back of her hand and found that it was very hot.
"You can't catch a cold, do you?" muttered, and stood up with his body propped up, but after a few steps, his body fell limply.
Her body was hugged into Zhai Yeqi's arms at the moment before she fell.
The body of the woman in her arms was very hot, her fair face became crimson at the moment, she seemed to be burned, and her mouth kept saying something strange.
Zhai Yeqian used internal force to dry all the clothes and hair on her body, and then dried all her hair and clothes, seeing that the person had fallen into a coma, she was silent for a moment and then picked her up.
Her face was pressed against his chest, and her body was so hot that even the breath she exhaled was hot.
Feeling that his chest was hot for a while, Zhai Yeqian quickened the pace of leaving.
Du Yanwan only felt dizzy, someone wanted to open her mouth and pour something into her mouth, her temper was stimulated, she closed her mouth tightly, and refused to open it.
The other party didn't break her mouth for a long time, as if she had given up, sighed, and said something.
Du Yanwan was a little proud, if she wanted to win her, there was no way!
The doctor who fed Du Yanwan the medicine saw that his medicine was dressed up, but he still didn't pour a drop of medicine into Du Yanwan's mouth, and couldn't help but sigh, "This son, this girl is too temperamental and refuses to take medicine, you see what you can do to let her drink the medicine." As he spoke, he handed the medicine bowl to Zhai Yeqian on the side.
couldn't help but shake his head and said, "How can this disease be cured without taking medicine?" ”
"And it's all burned like this, if you don't treat it early, there will be problems."
Zhai Yeqian took the half bowl of medicine and nodded, "Thank you, doctor." ”
The doctor had other patients to take care of, and left after explaining a few words to Zhai Yeqi.
