Chapter 227: A New Mystery
Seeing another self standing under the water in the distance, I felt like I was in a dream, and it was no longer appropriate to describe my state of mind as amazement.
Could it be the man in the tomb? I exclaimed in my heart.
But after thinking about it, I felt a little surprised, Uncle Shi once said that the guy was afraid of water, and the so-called ancient tomb was actually a cage to suppress and imprison him, but how could he stand in the water at this time?
For the sake of safety, I first escorted these dozen people to the shore, hesitated for a moment, and then communicated with Zhang Kailong and Uncle Shi. Uncle Shi's face changed after hearing this, and he didn't say anything, but I understood that if the person in the water was really the person in the tomb before, it would prove that Uncle Shi's judgment was wrong. This result is very terrifying, could it be that what Uncle Shi has been exploring for half his life is empty, or even a big conspiracy?
Uncle Shi was silent for more than ten seconds, then snorted coldly and said, "I'll go down to the river with you to have a look!" β
Uncle Shi is a bit of a Taoist, and with my precious blood, I don't have to worry about safety. After entering the water, I immediately looked at the place where I had found the man, but after looking around, I didn't even find a figure.
Unable to speak underwater, Uncle Shi gestured at me, probably asking where the person had gone, I pointed to the place and shook my head, indicating that I didn't know either.
The two of them searched in the water, but they didn't even find a figure, but they saw two rows of strange footprints and the previous snails left on the ground, gathered at the bottom of the water and posing in strange shapes.
Uncle Shi wanted to swim over to find out, but I stopped him, I knew that this was a Gu worm, no matter how high his Taoism was, the Gu worm would not buy his account.
Swimming out of the water again, everyone was still looking at us with puzzled faces.
"Did you find it?" Zhang Kailong asked in a low voice.
I shook it.
This matter should not be publicized, the scene is too crowded, so we will not talk about it anymore.
The collapse of the Yellow River Bridge is no small matter, and now many TV reporters have rushed over and set up several cameras nearby.
Because it is related to the reputation of the local government and the ability to do things, Zhang Kailong, deputy head of the district, the director of the Construction Bureau, and the director of the Public Security Bureau all arrived at the scene. The director of the Public Security Bureau knew me and discussed it with me in a whisper, which can be regarded as a begging! Let me help take care of this.
Seeing that I was a little hesitant, he gritted his teeth and promised me that as long as he helped deal with this matter, he would never treat me badly.
Later, I learned that the bridge was a political achievement project of the mayor after taking office, because it had just been built less than ten years ago, and suddenly collapsed, and caused casualties, which had already alarmed the province, and the inspection team was about to arrive.
Actually, I'm not holding a rack, I can't do it alone, I have to have a few people to help, and the most suitable person is, of course, the six frogmen.
I told the deputy mayor what I thought, and he nodded again and said that he could give them more money, or help arrange work, and let me come forward to communicate.
When I told the mayor what he said, the people were very hesitant, not wanting to miss such a good opportunity, but they were really afraid of something underwater. I saw the minds of a few people, so I whispered to them that I was in charge of everything.
The conditions were finally reached, and the deputy mayor promised that after this matter was dealt with, he would arrange a job for the six frogmen in the Water Conservancy Bureau, and as for me, the conditions would be retained for the first time.
For pure salvage work, six frogmen are enough, and I just play the role of security.
It wasn't until half past eight in the evening that all the cars that sank into the river were recovered, and together with the three bodies that were controlled by the snails, a total of nine bodies were found.
The inspection team of the province arrived at 7 o'clock in the evening, and saw that we were working hard to salvage and that the aftermath of the accident was handled well, and the inspection team was very satisfied. One of the construction experts in the inspection team was shocked after inspecting the cracks in the two sections of the bridge, saying that there was no quality problem with the bridge itself, but that the terrain on both sides of the Yellow River was the problem, and in his words, the Yellow River suddenly widened several meters, causing the bridge to be not long enough before it collapsed.
The city leaders were very satisfied with the assistance of the seven of us, and later heard that the six frogmen had indeed become public officials of the district water conservancy bureau.
After scooping up the car and the body, my mission was successfully completed, and the deputy mayor and the director of the public security bureau happily sent me into Li Xiaobai's car. Before leaving, my uncle whispered to my ear, asking me to go to my brother's courtyard tomorrow.
As soon as I wanted to leave, I heard everyone exclaim, and when I looked back, I saw that the original dark yellow surface of the Yellow River was freezing at lightning speed, and I saw that there was a layer of ice on the surface of the riverβI said that it was ice because it looked like ice, but there was no cold air in the slightest, that is to say, the ice on the river was not cold.
Everyone was frightened, and suddenly there was an uproar at the scene, and I was worried that the neighbors, especially Hao Xiaoyu and Yanli, would not stay any longer and let Li Xiaobai drive quickly. As soon as I entered the village, I saw an elderly couple in the village walking along the street.
"Uncle, aunt! It's so late, what are you doing here? β
"Oh! It's Xiao Zhen! Just had a meal and walked around casually......"
Hearing him say this, my worries are half less, although the Yellow River is also frozen tonight, but the neighbors of Laomiao Village seem to be fine.
After getting out of the car, I hurriedly ran home, Hao Xiaoyu and they obviously had a deep breath after they saw me enter the door, and they may have been worried about me. They also heard the news of the sudden collapse of the Yellow River Bridge, and when they saw that my hair was not dry when I entered the house, they guessed what I was doing and did not ask me in detail.
It's a happy night again, I still want to take Hao Xiaoyu and Yanli out to sleep, but seeing that the two of them didn't say it, my mother-in-law seemed to have something on her mind, and she didn't take the initiative to let us go out like yesterday, and I was embarrassed to bring it up first.
I wanted to stay in Hao Xiaoyu's boudoir that night, and I needed a hot person like her to vent it, but as soon as I entered the door, Hao Xiaoyu blasted out, saying that I was a little uncomfortable and asked me to go to the gorgeous house to sleep.
It was inconvenient to talk about the events of that night, and the two of them were busy for a while, until Yanli begged for mercy later, and then they stopped.
The love of men and women is always intoxicating, and many people live and die for this, and they are busy for this and are happy to do it all their lives.
The next day, when Li Xiaobai took me to my brother's courtyard, it was not yet eight o'clock. Uncle Shi and Chen Laosan were looking at the broken turtle shells piled up on the ground.
"Old Sun, haven't you translated all the symbols on these turtle shells, why are you reading them again?"
Uncle Shi smiled bitterly twice and replied, "These symbols are not like the words we use today!" All the truths contained in him are very profound, the day before yesterday, I thought I understood it completely, but after experiencing yesterday's events, I realized that what I understood was the tip of the iceberg of turtle shell information. β
