Chapter 50: Into the Cave
The rest of the people must stand on it and hang to ensure that the rope that goes down to the pit to save people can be raised and lowered at any time, and will not be twisted in the stone crack halfway.
When it was their turn to go down the pit, everyone stood on the top of the surging river and made another difficulty. This flood tastes uncomfortable, in this situation, Professor He is considered to be nine deaths, whether he can save people in the pit is still a matter of two words, if one is not good, his own life will be compensated.
After saying that Ge Zhuang and I would go down, naturally I would not shirk it again, I tied the rope in a knot, tied it around my waist, and then turned back to look at the crowd and asked if anyone dared to go down with us to save people.
This question, everyone was silent, not even a single one could fart, including the archaeological team member who shouted the most fiercely before, and finally Chen Yun took the initiative to say, "I'll go down too, I can help a little bit." ”
I said don't go down, saving people underwater is not as simple as you think, if something really goes wrong, will the fat man and I save you or Professor He? Chen Yun said don't underestimate me, I have passed the certificate and obtained the diving qualification.
In this delay, the villagers jointly elected an old man, saying that the eighth master had been fishing on the river for half his life, and the water quality has always been good, or you should also go into the water to try?
This old man naturally refused, shook his head like a rattle, said it can't be done, now going into the water will collide with the taboo of the dragon king, I went down to fish it just now, and now I can't go down.
Li Changshun scolded him with a tiger face, and said Eighth Master, you are obviously lying to confuse the public, you are a low-income household in our village, and you are at the forefront when the money is paid, and now the organization needs you to contribute, what kind of system are you afraid of? Either go into the water, ask me and me to declare it, deprive you of the qualification of a low-income household, and you can do it yourself.
Li Changshun scolded him this time, and the old man, who was called the "Eighth Master", suddenly had a hard time riding a tiger, looking left and right, and couldn't find anyone who was willing to speak for him, he gritted his teeth with a horizontal heart, and said Okay, village chief, you are really interesting, you are so anxious to earn performance in front of your superiors, why don't you go into the water yourself?
Li Changshun was right, saying that I was a landlubber, or I would have been in the water a long time ago, and I would have been able to get your turn?
The eighth master sneered and said that you are not a landlubber, I know best in my heart, I am a low-income household in the whole village, I am afraid that I will drag the village back, village chief, you are killing two birds with one stone, right? Li Changshun scolded him, saying what are you talking nonsense, hurry up and go into the water and don't talk nonsense, the old professor in the city is still waiting for someone to save him! Who else wants to go into the water but you? Vote for it!
Seeing that the eighth master was unwilling, Li Changshun hurriedly stood up and mobilized the masses.
Through the voting of the whole village, everyone agreed that only the eighth master is suitable for going into the water, the old and young masters of the whole village combined, there were a total of 60 votes present, 59 votes were in favor of letting the eighth master go into the water, and the only person who voted against it was the eighth master himself, Li Changshun said with a smile, "The minority obeys the majority, you still go into the water." ”
I looked at the old man who had been pushed out of the crowd, he was about sixty years old, blind in one eye, with one trouser leg rolled high, covered in muddy water, and I thought he had been in a dripping water before we arrived.
Seeing that he looked good and could swim back and forth on such a turbulent water, the water nature was naturally good, so he said with a smile, "Okay, uncle, take it easy, follow me after entering the water, don't force it!" ”
The old man, with a bitter face like a crippled man, sat down angrily, and grabbed the rope around his waist.
It wasn't until the villagers began to put the rope that he said with a bitter face, "Alas, I have persuaded Professor He not to go down, but he doesn't listen, this underwater hole, that is the place where the Dragon King is breathing, can mortals go down?" ”
Everyone who relies on water is very superstitious, and while everyone is still tying ropes, I asked the old man, "Uncle, can there really be a dragon lord underwater?" ”
He said it's not, in fact, the hole in the mountain wall (that is, the tomb road that was washed away by the water), has long been washed away by the river, I have gone down before, alas, I don't tell you, this hole is very weird, the last time I went down, I found a big water monster lying on the stone basking in the sun, that is the apprentice of the dragon lord, it is not necessary to go down!
Ge Zhuang was amused with him, holding a cigarette and saying that you are still old?
The eighth master's face turned blue, and he said that you didn't see the posture just now, Li Changshun's soft knife killed people without blood, if I can't go down, will there be a way for me to live in this village in the future?
It is said that the villagers are simple, I don't see it at all, just entered the village, Li Changshun staged a scene for us to catch ducks on the shelves, looking at the helpless face of the eighth master, I only shook my head, maybe this is human nature.
Tongue to spare, and to say that they were all tied with ropes and hung from the trunks of the two severed trees, and when they came near the water-swept hole on the edge of the cliff, I was the first to stretch out my toes, step on a mossy reef, and with the help of my strength, put my hands on the wall of the cave, and poked my head out to look into the dark hole.
This cave is very deep, and a lot of yellow mud slurry water has accumulated under it, but fortunately, the river water has not been completely poured into it, and the structure in the mountain wall can be roughly seen.
The second person to come down was Ge Zhuang, he lay on another reef, unscrewed the searchlight tied to his head, and took a picture below, at this time the eighth master and Chen Yun had already been sent down, and the people in the village took care of Chen Yun is woman, so they gave her a frame and let her sit in the frame and be hanged down.
I took a hand and dragged Chen Yun to the edge of the cave, and the eighth master also arrived, standing on the reef at the edge of the cave, behind him was the yellow mud rolling up with the waves, and his calves twitched, saying that this cave was very gloomy, and it was easy to get in and difficult to get out.
The villagers are superstitious, don't look at Li Changshun's mouth shouting loudly, when he was about to face practical difficulties, he finally launched the eighth master, this kind of oil traitor must not be a good person, the eighth master is driving ducks to the shelves, and he was forced to have no choice, standing on the edge of the hole, and he has been hesitating and not daring to go down.
Chen Yun said Eighth Master, there is no Dragon Lord here, looking at the structure of the cave, it must be the cliff coffin burial method adopted by the ancients, it is an ancient tomb inside, Professor He went in for archaeology, don't be afraid.
Who knew that Chen Yun's words made the eighth master even more taboo, saying that the little girl should not talk nonsense, if it is not the mountain god buried in this mountain, how can ordinary people bury themselves in such a place?
Chen Yun was helpless, so she had to say Eighth Master, you have been begging for life in this generation all the year round, you should be more familiar with the road conditions, so hurry up and lead the way, it is important to save people.
The eighth master was helpless, and walked into the cave mouth, the water at the entrance of the cave was very deep, and when he stepped in, it was all yellow mud and old pulp, and he didn't pass the trouser leg at once, and he went deeper, and he could see many stalactite-like rock structures, which could not shine into the sunlight all year round, and the water was turbulent, so the depths of the cave were very cold, and the eighth master was startled, which made us nervous. I was afraid that a bloody mouth would suddenly burst out of the cave and swallow everyone.
