Chapter 48 is both soft and hard

I slowly pushed the boat into the water, because there were almost no obvious fluctuations in the water surface of the pool, so the boat was gently shaking in place as soon as it got out of the water. The oars were already rotten, so I found a broken plank and squatted on the boat and paddled lightly, thinking it was okay to use.

Rowing on this kind of water is like rowing in the park's artificial lake, slow but steady, and I only have a flashlight, constantly turning the direction and sweeping around the pool. This waterhole is actually not very deep, maybe only five or six meters, and the water is clear and you can see it at a glance. As I suspected, there were no living creatures in the water, and it was very calm.

I paddled slowly around the waterhole, and then I paddled towards the middle of the pool, and when I reached almost the center, the light from the flashlight reflected something.

The thing was sunk at the bottom of the pool, and under the light of the flashlight, I could vaguely distinguish that it seemed to be a stone slab.

The slate is about 30 centimeters square, very thin, and at a glance you can tell that it is a finely polished slate.

I don't know why, but when I saw these stone slabs, I immediately remembered the story he told me about the Zhangxiong sacrifice when I visited Ma Guizi. The story of the festival took place on two stone tablets, but I didn't see it with my own eyes.

I'm in need of clues right now, and it would be nice if there were characters on the slate underwater.

There should be about ten pieces of stone slabs, scattered in an area of more than ten square meters. I wanted to try to get into the water, but the depth of five or six meters was actually a challenge for my level of swimming.

I watched the boat for a while, and felt that the water was indeed calm, and I did not feel any danger, so I secretly gritted my teeth and planned to try, if I really couldn't catch it, then at least I could surface.

I made the decision and wanted to take off my coat. But the moment I unlocked the zipper, I suddenly stopped.

A question came to my mind, which, according to what I have now observed, may have been trying to salvage the slabs from the center of the waterhole. They brought down three boats, indicating that the preparations were done, but why were the stone slabs at the bottom of the water not fished out? With such clear water, even if there was no such tool as a flashlight at that time, it was impossible to completely lose sight of the slate.

As soon as this idea appeared, I became suspicious, put away the idea of going into the water, and turned my head to look at the on the shore.

I rowed the boat and re-docked, are in this state, not sitting, not standing, with a wooden plank buckled on their backs, like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

"Brother, don't torture me, can you?" were about to cry, and begged: "Brother, don't blame me, ants are still greedy, let alone me?" We don't have any enmity in the first place, I came here to deal with Lu Fangding. Now that the two of them have fallen into this situation, they should be in the same boat, right? So, you let me go first......"

"I'll offer you a quid pro quo now." I pointed to the waterhole: "There are a few stone slabs at the bottom of the water, they are not big, they can definitely be moved, I have poor water quality, you go and fish up the stone slabs, I can let you go, and I am giving you some food." ”

"This ......" are very chicken thieves, and as soon as I say the quid pro quo, he seems to be a little skeptical.

"The depth of the water is only five or six meters, and with your skills, you can go underwater and fish something with ease."

"I'm afraid not, I can't compare with you men, and my physical strength can't keep up with ......"

"I don't force you, you think about it yourself, when you think it through, just tell me." I didn't say anything more, are a piece of hob meat, they don't eat soft and hard, and they are not afraid of the knife rack to their necks, so they can't do anything about him for the time being.

Dealing with him, in fact, is very simple, just leave him aside.

Taking advantage of the gap between the' consideration, I drove the boat around the waterhole slowly and leisurely, this time, I observed very thoroughly, and also very carefully, in this waterhole, there are only a dozen or so stone slabs worth noting.

I sailed to the shore and added some wood to the fire that was about to be extinguished, and I only needed one boat to go to the waterhole to get stone slabs, and the rest could be burned as firewood. I turned off the flashlight to save power, and the probably couldn't stand it anymore, so they came over to talk to me again.

"Considered it?"

"I really can't." complained with a sad face: "I can't stand it, I'm cold, hungry, and I can't move......"

Hearing him say this, I ignored him and took a high-energy compressed biscuit while baking the fire. In normal times, probably won't even look at it, but at this time, a cookie can save a life. The were greedy, and I didn't talk nonsense with him, so I ate half of the biscuits, and went to the waterfall on the other side of the waterhole to see.

What worries me the most is how to escape from here, theoretically, I can climb up along the drop and then land on the bank of the dark river above. But this drop terrain has been washed by flowing water for many years, it is steep and extremely smooth, and there is no place to borrow strength, except for Spider-Man, no one can climb it with bare hands.

I calculated the little food left on my body, if I only maintained the minimum survival guarantee and only consumed a little bit a day, then it would barely be enough for ten days, and if the took a little more, it would only be enough for five days.

The outlook is not encouraging, but there really isn't anything to be done about it for the time being.

The day went by, I was very sleepy, and the were tired, so I ran somewhere else, squinted for a while, and then walked around the waterhole again.

Time gradually passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was another day, and I didn't dare to sleep with my eyes closed, for fear that would play tricks, so I could only take a nap intermittently. are worse than me, and I shouldn't have eaten anything for almost three days.

"Something to eat, please." ' eyes glowed green with hunger, begging bitterly.

"You remember the conditions I gave you, right? First, answer my question, and second, go fishing for slates. ”

As soon as he heard my words, the were silent again, and I still didn't force him.

I once read a book, which said that a person may not be afraid of death, but there are many kinds of death, if you kill him with a knife, he will not be afraid, but if you put food in front of him, and do not give him food, let him suffer from hunger little by little, his mental mind will collapse unconsciously, even if it is an iron man, he can't stand such a way of death.

Sure enough, by the afternoon of the fourth day, were finally about to collapse, and he was willing to exchange food for what I said.

"Don't say that I'm not righteous, there is not much food, I have to distribute the card, if you cooperate, this will be given to you first." I took out a compressed cookie and shook it in front of the.

wanted to open their mouths and swallow the biscuit along with my hand, but before he could touch the biscuit, my hand retracted.

"Answer the question first." I unpacked the biscuit and said, "If I hear the slightest flaw, you're going to starve here." Let me remind you, don't really treat me as a stunned young man who doesn't know anything, there is a person named Hu Ritu, do you know? ”

may have been a little out of order from hunger, and they couldn't hide their eyes and looks, and when I said the name Hu Ritu, his eyes flickered obviously.

"Say, this cookie is waiting for you, but you must not prevaricate me with lies like dealing with Lu Fangding."

"Honestly..... I'm doing things for the third master......" were hungry and didn't have any strength, and they could smell the smell of biscuits, his face was full of torment, and he explained to me: "There are some things, I know...... But there are some things that the third master won't tell me......"

"Just pick up what you know and say it."

"That would have been a long time ago......

Zhao Sanyuan and Lu Fangding had a feud at the earliest, and the earliest time was because of a dzi. At that time, Lu Fangding made a dzi and wanted to make a move. Zhao Sanyuan wanted it, but he didn't know why, Lu Fangding just refused to sell it to him, and finally sold the beads to a businessman in another place, and the price was lower than the price Zhao Sanyuan opened. Zhao Sanyuan became popular all of a sudden, you must know that Lu Fangding was nothing at that time, and Zhao Sanyuan was already a very powerful figure in the ancient line. Lu Fangding did this, obviously not giving Zhao Sanyuan face.

Zhao Sanyuan wanted to find trouble with Lu Fangding, Lu Fangding sold the dzi, got a sum of money, and recruited three more guys, full of calculations, a total of four people, but these four people have been working hard with Zhao Sanyuan for three years. That's how the enmity between two people was formed.

What said, I don't doubt it for the time being, the story of Lu Fangding's start with a dzi back then, I heard the hemp devil also say it.

But there are some things, in fact, even Lu Fangding doesn't know.

The dzi he sold, as the new owner arrived in the field, Zhao Sanyuan didn't know why, so he recognized this dzi and asked people to find buyers everywhere. Because the buyer is not a local, what Zhao Sanyuan did is not clear to Lu Fangding.

This dzi was really found by Zhao Sanyuan in the end, and he spent a lot of money to buy the dzi back from the buyer.

At that time, were just twenty years old, and it was impossible for them to be regarded as a confidant by Zhao Sanyuan, which was all gradually known by when their status gradually increased.

Zhao Sanyuan vaguely told that this dzi is not just an old bead that has been handed down from generation to generation, it may also hide a secret.

But what is this secret, Zhao Sanyuan can't tell it all.

Five years ago, were already the most useful people under Zhao Sanyuan, and once, Zhao Sanyuan gave a task to let him go to Danmeng. But you can't use the people on Huayang's side, you need to reorganize a team, and the team members can't know each other, so everyone just wants to do a job, and they will disperse immediately after doing it.

When received Zhao Sanyuan's task, they realized that this was a very important thing. At that time, because of the shortage of goods in the mainland, Zhao Sanyuan sent people to Inner Mongolia and the Northeast to engage in some goods from the Liaojin period.
