Chapter Forty-Six: Underwater
After communicating with Ah Cheng, we observed here for a while. However, the black wolf and the mysterious man were never seen reappearing in the woods. I can't help it, seeing that the sky has turned white, I am afraid that if I don't go back, I will get myself into unnecessary trouble.
So, I said goodbye to Ah Cheng and hurried back the way I came.
When I got back, it was already light, and I couldn't believe that the tent that the black wolf had opened was so closed at this time.
Could it be that he has already returned?
Thinking of this, I crept over and put my ear to the tent, eavesdropping on the inside.
But before I could hear what was going on inside, the sound of pulling the tent sounded from the side. I was so frightened that I quickly stood up, and when I turned my head, I saw a black wolf looking at me with its head poked out.
"What are you doing here? Sneaky. The black wolf asked.
I reacted quickly, instantly pretending to be just getting up, and half-hummed: "What can I do when I go to the toilet, people have three urgency, and I can't just pull it here, right?" ”
"Going to the bathroom?" The black wolf's eyes narrowed into a slit, "Why don't I believe it." ”
"Lao Tzu doesn't care if you believe it or not, okay, don't quarrel with you, I'm in a hurry." I clutched my crotch and hurried towards the woods not far away.
When I entered the woods, I stood there for a while pretending to be in the toilet, and after estimating that the time was almost up, I swaggered back.
It happened that the black wolf was shouting for the others to get up.
Heh, this guy really thinks of himself as the boss and calls people out so early.
Sure enough, as I expected, Venster was the first to rush out and scolded angrily: "Urge, urge, urge, what time is this?" Still don't let people sleep? ”
Immediately afterwards, the black wolf squinted at him and said coldly: "I don't know if my actions in the morning won't attract attention, not to mention, I must find that mark within today, and go in to get the object representing the coordinates." ”
When Venster heard this, Nunu still wanted to quarrel about something, but he couldn't say a word for a long time.
Seeing this, I hurriedly went up to play a round: "Okay, okay, don't say a few words, this is also a helpless thing, I just looked at the weather forecast, there may be heavy rain today, and the water level of the nearby Yellow River dam has risen last night, act early and find it early, it's good for us." ”
"It's going to rain today?" Jin Da Bucktooth, who had just stepped out of the tent, stretched his waist and muttered, "The water level is a troublesome thing, I hope we won't meet it today." ”
"What happens when the water level rises?" I didn't know that just looking at the weather forecast and saying it so casually was really troublesome.
"The water level is rising, the waterline below is beyond the intended position, and this cursed village will give birth to something that we can't imagine. So let's move fast. The black wolf said, looked at Abe's tent in the distance, and said, "If Mr. Abe doesn't go with us today, then there will be only a few of us." Now I'm going to tell you what I'm looking for. ”
The black wolf said, pulling out a wad of small notes from his pocket and flipping through them quickly. When he had turned to a certain page, he tore off the note and held it up in front of us: "It's something that has this mark, whether it's printed on the land or on a house, and if you find it, report it immediately." ”
I leaned in to take a look, and there was a strange symbol drawn on the slip of paper, which was very familiar.
After a few more glances, I suddenly remembered that this was not the symbol mark that appeared on the hand of the golden bucktooth before.
Subconsciously, I shouted: "Hey, this ......"
At this call, everyone present looked at me one after another, and all of them showed strange expressions.
"What's going on?" The black wolf asked with a frown.
"It's okay, it's not a big deal......" I waved my hand.
"Huh?" The black wolf raised his eyebrows, "Since it's okay, then you go eat something, and I'll give you the tools later." ”
"By the way, why didn't Abe Zongjun go, did he have anything else?" Venster said suddenly.
"Mr. Abe is not feeling well today and cannot go into the water. Why, don't you want to go down? The black wolf looked at Venster with wide eyes.
"No, it's fine." Venster shook his hand and turned to walk towards the tent.
I quickly followed.
"Venster, I'll tell you something in a moment." I looked back as I spoke, until I was sure that the black wolf couldn't hear our conversation, and I told him everything I had seen last night and what I had seen with Ah Cheng, and I also told him about the symbol.
After hearing this, Venster thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, I know, just pay attention to him and Big Bucktooth when you go into the water later." ”
As I responded, I looked back and happened to see Jin Da Buck Tooth talking to the black wolf, and after talking, Jin Da Buck Tooth patted the black wolf on the shoulder intimately, and the two seemed to be very friendly......
After that, Black Wolf gave each of us a set of diving tools, as well as an underwater communicator. After a brief explanation of how to use the tools, he led us down the mountain to the bank of the river.
Then, out of nowhere, he found a map and studied it carefully.
After a while, he pointed ahead and said, "Thirty steps ahead, the next person, Venster, you go." Then, the farthest tree ahead, and then the next one, Wang Hao, it's you. Then, Mr. Kim came with me. After arranging, he put away the map and urged, "Hurry up, don't you understand?" ”
Oh, even though I was reluctant, I didn't want to be so passive, so I had to pull Venster forward.
"Venster, where do you see the black wolves?" After walking for a while, I asked.
Hearing this, Venster cautiously turned his head: "It's still behind, they should be planning to go down there." ”
"Okay." I turned my head to look at the surface of the river, which was extremely calm at this time, but I didn't know how many undercurrents were surging under this calm.
"That's okay, Ah Hao, I'll go down first, if there is a situation, contact me, this is for you." Venster patted me and handed me a small headphone, "This is a single-wire signaler, and the two of us can use it to communicate privately." ”
I didn't hesitate to take it: "OK, be careful"
Venster nodded, then put down his things and prepared to put on his diving gear.
I continued to walk on, and the point that the black wolf had given me was the first tree ahead. When I got closer, I realized that it was an old locust tree.
When I saw the locust tree, I was a little nervous. Thinking of the water potential of the surrounding mountains, I subconsciously calculated the feng shui here.
Who knows, it's okay not to calculate, but a calculation made me suddenly want to give up.
The feng shui here turned out to be the "Tian Chong" position, the first of the ten fierce feng shui levels. The sky is evil, and the water dragon is uncertain. It's no wonder that after the dam collapsed decades ago, the village was flooded overnight.
At that time, the tributary of the Yellow River here must have been a rare water dragon, and this village was equivalent to the water dragon ball, which should have been an excellent feng shui treasure, why did the village just be built on the dragon ball eye?
The more I thought about it, the more strange it became, and it stands to reason that this village was formed before there was that dam. Why didn't the tributary flow through it before, but broke the dam decades after it was built? Could it be that there was a dam first?
In that case, who chose the location of this village?
After thinking about it for a while, I completely forgot what I was supposed to do. It wasn't until the black wolf not far away shouted that I reacted.
By the way, the Black Wolf said that this is a cursed village. I thought about this when I was changing gear.
Since it is a cursed village, what is this village cursed with, the Yellow River? Or is it the person who chose the site? Or something else?
I patted my head and felt like none of them could be true.
Let's go down and see the layout of the village first, maybe you can find out something.
I hurriedly put on my wetsuit and was about to hang up the small oxygen cylinder when suddenly a slight "Ah Hao" came to my ears.
I looked up and found that on the slope, Ah Cheng's head was exposed.
"Look at your phone, look at your phone." He pointed to his phone and said in lip language.
I hurriedly took out my phone from my waterproof pocket and saw a picture message from Ah Cheng.
When I opened it, there was a relatively clear silhouette of a middle-aged man, and that face couldn't be wrong, it was a gourd!
"Zhonghulu, I know." I replied, and saw that he sent a message from below: Ah Hao, this person asked me to go down from a nearby dam to explore, and a stranger came this morning, they seem to be plotting something, I have asked Li Jing to go into the water first, not far from you, good luck, I will tell you something.
I looked up again, only to find that Ah Cheng had disappeared and left. The dam he was talking about must have been the one a few hundred meters from here, and if I went down the river from there, I looked at the terrain and concluded that he and I would meet somewhere underwater.
And where did Li Jing get into the water? I looked at the water in confusion, but saw that Venster and the black wolf beside me had long since disappeared, and in the blink of an eye I was alone on the edge of the riverbank.
Oops, it dragged on for too long. Without saying a word, I jumped into the river.
"Hiss~" It's so cold. Even though I was wearing a wetsuit, I was shivering from the cold. Unexpectedly, the river water didn't look good, and the water temperature was unusually low.
After struggling for a long time, I got used to it, and just as I was about to dive down, I heard the sound of "呑呑" in my ears, and the next second Venster's voice came in: "Ah Hao, are you down?" ”
"Come down, it's really cold here. Where are we going? ”
"Downstream, you'll see the ruins." Venster said.
I swam downstream, but I didn't expect the river to be so deep. After diving a few dozen meters, I could vaguely see the roof of the building.
"I see—" Before I could finish speaking, the voice of a black hole sounded on the other side: "Are they all down?" ”
