Chapter 9: The Big Fish of the Underground River
"Hsinchu, go see what's going on? Could it be that the underground pipes have been dug up? Chiba Shinichi frowned, but he didn't expect that the more anxious he was, the more messy he became.
"Grandpa, our underground pipeline here has been improved ten years ago, and the official road will not be dug at all, this is groundwater seeping in, if the water can't be drained, I'm afraid it won't be able to dig it anymore." Chiba Hsinchu said seriously.
Chiba Shinichi's brows furrowed even tighter when he heard this, and he immediately ordered: "Drain the groundwater immediately, and you must continue digging within an hour!" ”
"Okay! I'll do it right away! Chiba Hsinchu knew his grandfather's temper, so he quickly contacted the construction team to bring a pump to pump out the groundwater in this deep pit.
Zhang Ergou on the side muttered in a low voice: "Brother Shui, this is really evil!" Even if groundwater seeps in, it can't seep in so much at once, right? ”
"Look, there may be dead people in a while, let's be careful." Chen Sanshui said lightly.
These words made Zhang Ergou even more nervous, and he followed Chen Sanshui every step of the way, for fear of encountering any accidents.
Ten super-powered pumps pumped water together, but the muddy water in this deep pit did not fall at all, which gave Chiba Hsinchu a headache!
"Grandpa! Something is wrong! Groundwater seeps in faster than it can be pumped! ”
"Why is this happening?"
Chiba Shinichi is also full of doubts, their family has dug hundreds of times over the past thousand years, but they have never encountered such a situation! So at this time, I can only turn my head to look at Chen Sanshui, hoping that the other party can give an answer.
"Mr. Chen, what's wrong now? Why is so much groundwater seeping in? Our family has dug many times, but none of them have encountered this situation! Chiba Shinichi couldn't help but ask.
"This feng shui is called the hidden dragon in the abyss, the dark water is separated from the coffin, because the tomb is selected near the underground dark river, so it is easy to have this situation, the purpose is also to prevent others from robbing the tomb, you have not encountered this situation when you dug before, it means that you are digging in the wrong direction, and now at least it shows that we have indeed found the right place." Chen Sanshui explained.
"Is there any way to dig smoothly now?" Shinichi Chiba asked anxiously.
"The water here is connected to the underground river, and unless the underground river can be drained, there will be more and more water here until it becomes a lake, so the easiest way is for someone to dive into the mud, find a passage to connect the underground river, and block the passage, and then bypass the connection and continue to dig." Chen Sanshui said expressionlessly.
"What! Letting people dive into the mud? So possible! It's going to kill people! Chiba Sakura said loudly on the side.
"If no one is willing to take the risk, then we have to fill in the pit and dig a passage from other directions, but it will take a lot of time." Chen Sanshui said.
Chiba Shinichi hesitated for a moment with a straight face, and then asked, "If you dig again, how long will it take?" ”
"It's not accurate, it's more difficult to relocate, and there's still a risk of digging up underground river channels." Chen Sanshui said.
"Find someone down! The Chiba family has been waiting for more than a thousand years, and it has spent countless manpower and material resources, so what does it matter if a few people die? Chiba Shinichi said lightly.
"Okay, I'll go find someone." Chiba Hsinchu sighed helplessly, although his grandfather usually looked very confused, the real power of the family was still in the hands of the other party, especially now that the other party had become extremely sober, he had to obey the other party's arrangement!
A moment later, three young men wearing black wetsuits and carrying oxygen tanks walked over, these were all dead soldiers cultivated by the Chiba family, and they were willing to sacrifice their lives for the benefit of the family.
"The glory of the Chiba family is on your shoulders, if you don't have the strength to swim up after half an hour, I will have someone pull you up!" Chiba Hsinchu comforted the three young men.
In this way, the three young men put on their swimming gear, tied ropes to their bodies, and dived into the mud of the pit.
Swimming in the mud is several times more difficult than in the water, because the resistance in the mud is too great, and you can't see anything clearly, so you rely on your senses to figure it out.
The three of them swam in different directions, and no one knew what would happen in the mud, but Chen Sanshui knew very well that this was definitely a lot of bad luck!
Chiba Hsinchu looked anxiously at the time on the shore, and now five minutes had passed, and the three people in the mud had not heard any from them at all.
"Grandpa, can the three of them find the connection to the underground river?" Chiba Sakura asked nervously.
"There's nothing the Chiba family can't do! As a member of the Chiba family, you should have faith in our people! Chiba said with a straight face.
"Brother Shui, this Japanese is really not afraid of death! What if you suffocate in the mud! Zhang Ergou whispered on the side.
"Cold salad! Wait, it'll be better in another hour. Chen Sanshui sighed, he wanted to ask Chiba Shinichi to dig when he was in the morning, but the other party didn't listen at all.
At this moment, a man standing on the shore pulling a rope suddenly shouted: "Come and help me!" I can't hold on anymore! ”
"Gangtai! What happened to you! ”
A few other people standing on the shore hurried over to help, but the pull on the other end of the rope was particularly strong! Dragged a few people into the mud puddle at once!
"Let go! Otherwise, we'll all be pulled in! ”
In desperation, several men had no choice but to let go, and climbed out of the mud puddle with each other's support.
"What's going on!" Chiba Hsinchu shouted loudly.
"Hsinchu-kun, the pull on the other end of the rope is too great! We can't pull it together! The mud-covered crowd explained.
Chiba Hsinchu's brows furrowed, and before he could figure out what the situation was, he heard the other two people pulling the ropes wailing! One of them was bleeding from his hands, obviously injured by a rope, and the other was pulled directly into the mud puddle, where he was silent in the blink of an eye, and finally a dull blood-colored red flower bloomed in the middle of the mud pit, and soon disappeared without a trace!
"Not good! There are man-eating monsters in this mud pit! ”
Although Chiba Hsinchu didn't see what kind of monster it was, under normal circumstances, falling into the mud pit wouldn't have shed so much blood in an instant!
"Nonsense! How could a man-eating monster appear in the Chiba family! Chiba Shinichi roared coldly.
"He didn't talk nonsense, someone was indeed eaten by a big fish just now!" Chen Sanshui said expressionlessly on the side.
"What! Someone was eaten by a big fish? Where do the fish come from? What fish can eat people? Could it be that a shark in the sea has come out of the ground? Chiba Shinichi asked in a cold voice.
