Volume 3 The Ghost Boat of the Sand Sea Chapter 77 Something Underwater
But Jin Yuxiang didn't care about this, he glanced at Che Dong and said: "I don't care if it's easy or not, I just want the result to be ......."
“...... Be! The owner hesitated for a moment and agreed.
Ji Shanchuan sat on the edge of the pool, shone a searchlight at the waterhole and said, "The water is so deep, either swim over it or swing it down these hanging branches like a monkey!" What do you say, Lao Zhang? Ji Shanchuan asked Zhang Deming beside him.
Zhang Deming said: "How do I know, maybe the captain of the car has a better way, you say?" Zhang Deming said and looked at Ji Shanchuan, but found that he was poking his head into the water, and he was getting closer and closer to the water.
Zhang Deming pushed Ji Shanchuan: "Ji Shanchuan, what are you looking at?" So seriously? ”
Ji Shanchuan said to him with a serious face: "There seems to be something under this water!" ”
Zhang Deming scoffed and said, "What can be under the water?" Look at the trees here, and of course the roots! It's not that you don't know that the branches of the banyan tree will take root under the water as soon as they enter the water, what is there to be surprising? ”
Ji Shanchuan said: "But I don't think the thing floating under the water is like a tree root?" ”
"How doesn't it look like it?" Zhang Deming also leaned over and took a look, "Look, the branches take root as soon as they get out of the water, and the roots stretch out to the bottom and outside, exactly the same as this shadow!" Don't worry about you. ”
"But I still think it's like ......," Ji Shanchuan racked his brains and began to describe.
"Like what?"
"I can't tell!" Ji Shanchuan said.
"Hey~ If you're so worried, stick your head into the water and take a look for yourself!" Zhang Deming said, "Come on! Give me the flashlight, and I'll shine it on you! What a big deal! ”
"Hey, thank you!" Ji Shanchuan said.
But at this time, after Zhang Deming turned out the flashlight, he said to Ji Shanchuan in a gloomy tone: "But you have to be careful...... Remember, curiosity kills cats! ”
"Get out! You crow's mouth! Ji Shanchuan scolded Zhang Deming, Zhang Deming smiled and said, "Go quickly!" ”
Ji Shanchuan slowly stretched his head into the pool water. The water was so cold that he couldn't open his eyes for a while, and he had just entered the water, and he hadn't yet gotten used to it. After a while, he slowly opened his eyes a slit. Through the flashlight that Zhang Deming cast for him on the shore, he could see clearly the underwater surroundings near him.
Just looking at it like this, he was taken aback, and he couldn't help but open his mouth and take a breath, and the cold pool water immediately rushed into his trachea. Ji Shanchuan retracted his head suddenly, returned to it, and coughed violently, as if he was about to cough out his lungs.
We heard Ji Shanchuan coughing and hurriedly asked what was going on. Ji Shanchuan coughed and pointed underwater. We didn't know why, so Zhang Deming told us the whole story.
Ji Shanchuan's cough quickly eased, but although the cough was good, he began to vomit again, even vomiting out what he had eaten before.
What's down there? Can Ji Shanchuan spit like this? If coughing is due to choking, what about vomiting?
After a while, Ji Shanchuan's vomiting finally stopped, and he was panting while wiping his mouth.
Tanzi walked up to Ji Shanchuan and asked, "Brother, what did you see down there that scared you like this?" ”
"Bone ...... The skeleton is full of ...... underneath A pair of human skeletons......" Ji Shanchuan gasped and said.
"Skeleton? Where is it? Xu Yunshu hurriedly asked.
Ji Shanchuan pointed to the branches hanging from the trees and said, "It's just below these branches...... Each skeleton has a branch on it......"
Che Dong glanced at Huo Ming, and the two turned around and pulled a thick branch that was relatively close to the shore and pulled it hard. The whole branch, nay, a small tree, was lifted up at once, with a bunch of fluffy and lengthy roots under the trunk, but no skeleton was to be seen.
"Not every root has ......," Ji explained.
Jin Yuxiang said: "Pull up two more and take a look!" ”
Che Dong and Huo Ming pulled up a thicker little tree, its root system was more developed, and in this developed root system, there was really a skeleton that was firmly bound by the roots that looked like ropes.
Seeing that the skeleton was fished out of the pool water, everyone thought that they had just drunk the water in the pool, and it turned out that we were drinking the water that soaked the corpse. Although these corpses may have been more than 2,000 years old, it still feels disgusting to think about it.
"Wow~" Zhang Deming was the first person to vomit after Ji Shanchuan. His vomit was like turning on the switch of the chain reaction, Xu Yunshu, Azmat, me, Tanzi, Luan Kun, and Jin Yuxiang spit out one after another, and even Hu Yunting was not spared. Only Che Dong and Huo Ming were unmoved, how to say that they had also been soldiers, but compared with Che Dong, although Huo Ming did not spit it out, his throat still kept going up and down, which showed that he was also patient.
When we were almost vomited, we slowly sat down to rest, and although I vomited a little dry mouth and a fever in my throat, I would rather hold back than drink the water in the pool. However, this is still not driven to a dead end, if there is really a time to die of thirst, who cares if the water has soaked the corpse? It's good to survive! If we don't drink it, it means that we haven't reached the time to drink it.
After Xu Yunshu rested for a while, she stood up and walked under the small banyan tree that was lifted. She peeled aside the roots that were wrapped around the skeleton and found that the skeleton was relatively intact from the feet to the shoulders, except for the lack of a skull.
"Now it's clear, these skeletons soaked in water should be the owners of those skulls outside!" Xu Yunshu made a conclusion.
"Why do you say they put the bones of these people in the roots of the banyan tree and tie them up?" Jar asked.
Xu Yunshu explained: "I guess this is not their original intention, the people who did these things just soaked these bones in the waterhole and wanted them to accompany Gega. But as the banyan tree grows bigger, more and more branches hang down. When the roots of the branches are grown, they tightly bind the surrounding solids to increase the grip of the trees, which is why they are like this......
"I think it's a good idea to throw these skeletons into the pool, or else you'll have to deal with them separately......," the jar muttered.
"By the way, you said that the bones and their skulls were all separated...... I looked at the largest banyan tree in the middle of the pool and said, "What about Gega?" Was his skull also on the outside, or was it placed in that coffin like its body? ”
Before Xu Yunshu could speak, Jin Yuxiang spoke first: "Isn't it clear when you open the coffin?" As soon as he waved his hand, Che Dong immediately understood, and shouted Huo Ming and Luan Kun to go directly into the water and swim to the big banyan tree.
