Chapter 174: The Invisible Way Out

The bronze coffin is about two and a half meters long and more than a meter wide, and it shakes from side to side with the water waves, as if it is dancing rhythmically, which makes me a little mad to watch.

"Master, this ...... What are you bringing us here for? ”

"Take you out!" Bragu stood in front of the inlet and replied lightly.

"There's no way here?"

I subconsciously glanced up, and the cliff in front of me was a little confused.

Bragu pointed to the coffin in the puddle: "The road is here!" ”

"You say this bronze coffin?" I was stunned.

"That's right! Don't hurry up and open the coffin lid! Although I didn't understand why he said this and asked me to do it, I still obediently walked over, stood cautiously at the water's edge, grabbed the edge of the coffin, and lifted it violently, and a gap of about half a meter suddenly appeared in the coffin.

"Let's go inside! Don't be afraid, when the coffin is no longer shaking, you can come out, and you will already be out! ”

I was confused, and Wu Jinghan cried directly.

What I pondered was that at this time, in the crack of the earth's crust four hundred meters underground, why could I get out after lying in such a strange bronze coffin! Could it be that Bragu will magic?

The reason why Wu Jinghan cried was that Bragu let us both lie down in it, meaning that he didn't plan to go out with us.

"Master, aren't you coming with us?" It's like a pear blossom with rain, and his face is full of tears.

Only then did I react, and I quickly persuaded: "Yes! Master, you can't stay here alone! ”

"Get in!!" Bragu waved his hand, giving people an irresistible force, "I...... I have to stay, because I've lived here for too long, and I've long belonged to this land. ”

Seeing that the bubbling "reunion" in the inlet was getting louder and louder, the sound of water was everywhere, and the bronze coffin was shaken violently.

"Get inside!" Bragu scolded.

Wu Jinghan cried and wanted to pull him, but I stopped him.

"We should respect Master's choice and just listen to him! If you don't hurry up, I'm afraid this thing will be washed away! ”

I picked up Wu Jinghan, grabbed the coffin with my other hand, and put her in.

"Master, come with us!" Wu Jinghan, who was sitting in the coffin, burst into tears.

"Good apprentice, you go in too!"

At this moment, as if he had regained his sight, Bragu pointed at the bronze and whispered, his voice visibly shaking.

I knew that this moment was not the time for hypocrisy, so I quickly jumped in, and then hugged Wu Jinghan tightly.

"Master, you ...... You're really not leaving? "I didn't know what to say, and deep down I wanted him to go out with us. Think about myself, for a long time after my mother died, I always felt that I was an orphan, and then I entered the Yellow River Water Conservancy Station, and after meeting Li Guozhi and Lao Hong, I found a little warmth of home, and then I met Wu Jinghan, and life began to become sweet.

The appearance of Master gave me a feeling that I had never felt before.

Whether it is Li Guozhi or Lao Hong and Liu Liwei, I call them brothers, this brother is also from the bottom of my heart, Wu Jinghan is the other half of my life, these people all play an important role in my life, but Bragu's role is completely different from them.

Especially at the moment when I really regarded him as a master in my heart, he gave me a feeling of "family adult", which was based on complete trust and dependence, and even my second uncle and aunt who loved me since I was a child never gave it.

Standing on the side of the puddle, Bragu waved at me, "Close the lid!" Take my words to heart and wait until the coffin is stable before it can be opened! ”

At this moment, I couldn't hold back any longer, tears welled up in my eyes, and I shouted at Bragu, "Master! ”

Bragu trembled, his messy hair trembled slightly, the corners of his mouth opened, and he didn't make a sound, looking like "goodbye".

I held back the discomfort in my heart, hugged Wu Jinghan tightly with one hand, and pulled the coffin lid with the other hand, accompanied by a burst of metal friction, the coffin became pitch black.

When I retracted my hand, I felt a soft thing, and when I came back to my senses, I found that there was a thick layer of "mattress" in the coffin.

It seems that Bragu had anticipated what had happened today and had prepared in advance.

In the dark, I hugged Wu Jinghan tightly, and she was still shivering.

At this time, I regained my composure, my mind became active, and I couldn't help but be curious.

This bronze coffin has thousands of catties, how can it float in the water like a raft! In addition, I was faintly worried, although I believed in Bragu's words, he said that if we can get out, we will definitely be able to get out, but this coffin is pitch black inside and outside, obviously sealed, is there enough oxygen for us to use?

Thinking of this, I took a few hard breaths, but I didn't notice any discomfort.

This is strange, according to the two of them, the air in this coffin can't last for ten minutes, so it has to be on the premise of saving breathing, is there any peculiar design of the bronze coffin, which can block light and water, but can make the air unimpeded?

After a few minutes, the bronze coffin began to shake, and it could be felt slowly moving to one side as it rose.

At this moment, a thought arose in my mind: the ancients who occupied this underground crack back then must have reached a certain level of wisdom and civilization, and every time they went in and out, they would never follow the path we came from! That's a lot of trouble!

This is like a hundred-story skyscraper, if you take the stairs, from the first floor to the hundred floors, normal people can take more than half an hour at the earliest, but if there is an elevator, it only takes a few minutes, and it is effortless, this huge bronze coffin will not be the "elevator" they designed!

I think there must be an invisible passage in the underground cracks, which is not usually visible, but once there is water, it is revealed.

Gradually, the coffin shook more and more, and I could feel it, the water flow outside was getting faster and faster, and Wu Jinghan also stopped sobbing, hugged me tightly, and exhaled like an orchid.

"Lu Dong, will you have a chance to come to see the master in the future?"

"Yes!"

I replied categorically.

Although I said this, I also drummed in my heart, and I was worried that this flood would not flood the entire underground crack......

There was a crackling sound around the coffin, which was very harsh, but I was not afraid, and I hugged Wu Jinghan and said something in my heart.

"Jinghan, you are a dignified graduate student, and you are still so handsome, why do you fall in love with me, a college student with average appearance, family background, and work!"

Wu Jinghan hammered my chest twice, and said shyly: "Where did I fall in love with you, the little woman was forced to be helpless." ”

"Ahh Where did I force you? ”

"And said no, that night...... That night in the dam house outside Hewang Village, you ...... What have you done to me? ”

"That night? Profound! It's your initiative ......"

Before I could finish my sentence, she covered my mouth.

"By the way, you still want to continue investigating your dad when you go back?"

"Hmmm! Anyway, I'm going to have to figure it out. ”

Briefly talk about your thoughts and Wu Jinghan.

She wondered: "I also wonder, isn't the mastermind behind the organization of the expedition team already arrested, isn't it still clear that things are not clear?" ”

"It was arrested, and the level was not low, but during the interrogation, he died of a heart attack!"

"Ahh And such a coincidence? ”

"This is what Team Leader Yang said, they also suspected, but there were several people during the interrogation at that time, and there was video surveillance, no one approached him at that time, a few seconds ago, he still confessed the case with a normal face, who knew that his whole body suddenly convulsed, and then he couldn't speak, and the beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolled down, and in less than three minutes, the person was no longer breathing."

"That's a coincidence!"

"The medical examiner did an autopsy and confirmed that he died of a sudden heart attack." I paused for a moment, and then continued, "Of course, when we set off, there was still a lot of evidence and confessions that had not been sorted out, I would like to contact Team Leader Yang first, ask if there is any new progress in the case, and if necessary, I also want to go to Shaanxi!" ”

"You want to enter Wolong Mountain?"

"That's right! If I really don't have a clue, I'll have to find it myself! ”

The topic was a bit heavy, and I quickly changed the conversation.

"That's right! What about you? Don't you have to go back to school? ”

"Don't worry! I'm graduating next year, and I won't be back in school for long, mainly because I have a dissertation defense. ”

talked about the future of the two of us again, Lang's love and wife's affection, infinitely lingering, inconvenient to repeat.

I don't know how long it has been, but I feel like it's been an hour or two!

I only heard a loud "bang" outside, and the coffin shook and gradually stabilized.

I waited a few minutes before I reached out and pushed the lid of the coffin hard.

When the sound of metal grinding sounded, there was a dazzling scene in front of me.

"Coming out?"

"It seems to be!"

Slowly sat up and saw the scene around me.

I first saw the dam on the left, with half-yellow and half-green leaves swaying in the wind, and on the right there was a sandy beach, and a few people dressed as peasants were looking at us from afar, and then I realized that the bronze coffin was floating on the water, and the water was earthy yellow.

This is the Yellow River? Sure enough, it's the Yellow River!

I was a little excited, hugged Wu Jinghan tightly, and there was an indescribable feeling in my heart.

The people on the shore gathered more and more, and the chatter and exclamations could be heard in the distance.

"Look, a big coffin is coming out of the water! Look! ”

"It seems that there are still people in it, they are alive!"

More and more people gathered, some carrying shovels, some holding hoes, looking like they should be doing farm work on the river beach. It is estimated that the two of us have been underground for more than ten days, and when we saw the sunshine all of a sudden, we had a feeling of "a long drought and a rainy day", and we didn't bother to pay attention to the "audience" on the shore.

The two of them sat in the coffin as if nothing had happened, letting the coffin float with the water.

Ten minutes later, a few young men in uniform flashed out from behind the crowd, and the young men shouted a few words at the two of us, then got on a fishing boat and slowly leaned towards the coffin......

An hour later, Wu Jinghan and I were taken into the Xinhu Town Police Station.

"Tell me honestly, you two are not tomb robbers!"

A middle-aged, dark, thin middle-aged man in uniform, sitting behind a table in the interrogation room, slapped the table, glared at me and yelled.

I frowned: "I've said it several times, we are from the expedition team, the captain of the expedition team is a high-level police officer you don't usually have access to, and the deputy captain is the deputy director of the district police station, no!" Now it is the director! ”

"What are we good at? That...... Then what do you say our director is called! ”

"Liu Liwei! We are friends, I have given you the phone number, if you don't believe it, you can call and ask! ”

I was asked several times in a row, and I was really impatient.

The other two in uniform swept their eyes over Wu Jinghan, and their squinting eyes revealed all the dirty thoughts in their hearts.

"You...... You said that your establishment also belongs to the Hekou District Police Station? Director Liu or your friend? ”

The middle-aged dark thin man looked at me again with questions.

"You just need to make a phone call!"

He hesitated, took out his phone, pressed the number I had given, and flashed to the side.

"Hey! You...... Hello! May I ask if it is Liu Liwei, Director Liu? ”

"Oh! Director Liu: Okay, I'm Zhu Zhiming, deputy director of the Xinhu Town Police Station, and today I caught two tomb robbers in the river - people who are suspected of being tomb robbers, he ...... He said it was......"

"Your name is ......," he turned to look at me.

Zhu Zhiming turned to look at me.

I sneered: "Liu Ludong and Wu Jinghan! ”

He turned, and his tone changed instantly.

"Director Liu, one of these two people is called Liu Ludong, and the other is a woman named Wu Jinghan!"

"Ahh Be! Do it! ”

After seeing Zhu Zhiming trembling all over, he instantly stood up straight, and I felt a surge of pleasure welling up in my body.

After deducting the phone, Zhu Zhiming walked over with a smile on his face.

"I'm sorry! The two of you turned out to be really your own people, you see how this happened...... How could the two of them be in a coffin! Isn't this the river washing away the Dragon King Temple! ”

I didn't bother to bother with him, so I asked, "What did Director Liu say?" ”

Zhu Zhiming laughed and replied: "Let me immediately send a car to send the two of them to the Hekou District Police Station." ”

I nodded: "My phone is out of battery, can you charge it for me?" ”

Zhu Zhiming nodded busily, took my OPPO9, and after taking a look, he turned around and shouted to the two young men standing on the side: "Power bank." Don't you prepare a power bank for Brother Liu? ”

Five minutes later, Zhu Zhiming called a police car, "invited" the two of us to the car, and then sat in the passenger seat himself, urging the driver to drive quickly.

Along the way, he kept making amends to us, and begged me to try to help them say good things after meeting Liu Liwei.

I also knew that it was not easy for low-level workers, and I didn't want to do much, so I nodded and agreed.

Zhu Zhiming hurriedly turned around and lit a cigarette for me, and after seeing Wu Jinghan frowning, he smiled and took the cigarette back.

"You found our river beach, not far from Xiaohe Village?"

Zhu Zhiming thought for a moment and replied: "More than ten miles, less than twenty miles, what's wrong brother?" ”

"It's fine!"

He said this, but he thought in his heart: It seems that we have walked at least ten miles underground, which is really not strange in the world.

Seeing that the battery of the mobile phone reached 10%, I turned it on decisively and then called Han Jianjian.
