Chapter 45: The Power of Traction
There was nothing to say all the way, until we got to the place where Shen Jingyun rented the boat, we made a simple negotiation with the local charterer, and after getting on the boat, it was a little more natural.
In the final analysis, Shen Jingyun adjusted his mentality faster than me.
An ordinary mechanical ship, Shen Jingyun drove the boat silently in the wheelhouse, but I seemed to be very comfortable with the rocking of the boat, and soon I could stand on the deck safely, looking at the sea view and blowing the sea breeze.
Although it is a little more natural, but at the beginning, my mood is still a little complicated, but the sea can really make people feel a sense of inclusiveness of the sea and the sky, and the troubles between me and Shen Jingyun seem to have become incomparably small between heaven and earth, let it be, time will always give the answer, right?
In this state of mind, I really feel a lot more natural.
Looking back, looking at Shen Jingyun's meticulous appearance, I had a trace of curiosity in my heart, so I naturally walked into the wheelhouse and asked Shen Jingyun, "Why do you still drive a boat?" The charterer also said that even a skilled fisherman would not dare to go to sea with two people, and besides, I would not know anything. ”
I'm really curious, is Shen Jingyun really omnipotent?
Shen Jingyun's expression towards my nature was a little complicated at first, but seeing my calm appearance, his expression naturally relaxed, and said to me: "When I was a child, my life was often uncertain, and Master took me across the sea, do you believe it?" ”
I don't know much about Shen Jingyun's past, and this is the first time he has taken the initiative to mention it.
I nodded, and just wanted to say something, Shen Jingyun quickly explained: "I didn't sleep much last night, I have been comparing and studying the map left by Wang Yun, this section of the waterway is actually very safe, otherwise how could Wang Yun's father dare to drive a fishing boat alone to that secret place?" My skills are only acceptable, but I have researched and found that I can walk this waterway on my own with you. Of course, if God doesn't give face, there will still be a possibility of a problem. ”
Since Shen Jingyun said this, I was relieved.
In the calm navigation of the boat, we soon arrived at the mouth of the river, faster than the time recorded by Wang Yun, we followed the map, along the river, all the way forward, and finally found the hidden hole.
I can't believe that there is a cave hidden in such a place, and inside the hole is an underground river. If it weren't for Wang Yun's diary, it would just be for me and Shen Jingyun to look for it recklessly, and Shen Jingyun and I might not be able to find it after exhausting all the time.
Because outside the entrance to the cave is the sight of a small grove of trees and rocks, because of the clever angle, no one will notice that there is a hole behind it, and the water has branched here, which is the effect of a blind spot, and this secret can only be discovered if you walk very closely. And this section of the river is very remote, almost uninhabited, so naturally no one can find this hole.
If there were villages on these two sides, it would not be Wang Yun's grandfather's turn to discover this secret.
No matter how calm we were before, Shen Jingyun and I were a little surprised after finding this hole. While marveling at the wonder of nature's creation, he soon drove the boat into the hole.
At this time, I did not feel scared at all, but had a sense of excitement of adventure.
The cave is very dark, after turning on the searchlight on the boat, Shen Jingyun and I found that this is a naturally formed karst cave, the river passes through the cave, under the reflection of the light, the stalactites in the cave are crystal clear, the river water is clear and clean, this primitive natural scenery is much more spectacular and beautiful than the karst caves of many scenic spots.
I was busy admiring the scenery, but I didn't want the boat to suddenly jolt at this point, so that I almost couldn't stand on my feet while standing on the splint, I didn't know what was going on, and I felt a little daunted at this point.
But I heard Shen Jingyun shouting to me in the cab: "It doesn't matter, it's just a small hurdle." ”
The small kan in Shen Jingyun's mouth refers to the water flow difference of the river, similar to a waterfall, but far from the height of the waterfall, which is generally within one meter.
When sailing on the rivers outside, we also encountered such small bumps, so occasional bumps are normal. However, as the boat continued to move forward, I found that this kind of small bump kept appearing, and after a dozen bumps in a row, it gradually calmed down.
At this time, I looked at the entrance of the cave again, and I could no longer see where the entrance of the cave was, so I could only follow the light of the searchlight, only to find that after entering the cave, the water flow down had formed a very high drop.
It's really a magical section of the river, I sighed in my heart, and then I looked back, but I inadvertently looked down, and I couldn't help but shout to Shen Jingyun in surprise: "Shen Jingyun, come and see, there are a lot of fish!" ”
If it was just a few dozen fish, I would definitely not be so surprised, but I saw a school of fish! The real schools of fish, gathered under the searchlight, felt that as long as I went down to the net, I could receive a lot of fish, and this feeling was simply shocking to me, who had never fished before.
Shen Jingyun heard my cry of surprise, walked out of the wheelhouse, stood side by side with me on the deck, and naturally saw a school of fish. He didn't seem to be as surprised as I was, but he turned his head, glanced at the river when he came, touched his nose, and looked thoughtful.
Looking at Shen Jingyun's appearance, I couldn't help but be a little curious, so I asked, "What did you think of?" ”
Shen Jingyun said: "I think it is the magic of nature that schools of fish can be formed here. The water from the river flows here, bringing a lot of fish, and I think the water of the lake is also connected to this underground river. But because of this drop, it is difficult for these fish to swim into the river from here unless they encounter a large flood. As for the channel leading to the lake, I don't know very well, but there must be a drop, so the fish are trapped here, and it becomes a natural golden fishing ground. ”
Shen Jingyun's analysis is very reasonable, but these fish are not the focus of Shen Jingyun and me, we are going to find the queen's tomb through this river, so after looking at it for a while, Shen Jingyun returned to the cab and continued to move forward.
At this time, I found that this section of the river can no longer be called a river, but a huge underground water pool, the searchlight can not shine at the end of this pool, I only feel that the water here is also very deep, obviously the water quality is very clear, but there is a dark feeling, how deep is that, to form such a heavy color?
Ordinary people probably think that they have reached the end when they arrive here, and no matter how beautiful this cave is, due to the instinctive fear of the unknown human beings, they will not venture to explore here again. Wang Yun's father is just for fishing, obviously this is already a destination, and if it weren't for the coincidence, Wang Yun shouldn't have explored here on a large scale.
Shen Jingyun and I drove for nearly an hour before we reached the end of this waterhole.
When I got here, I realized that there were five or six new openings in front of me, which meant that five or six new rivers had diverted from here.
At this time, the map left by Wang Yun highlighted its importance, without this map, Shen Jingyun and I might not have been able to find the right river mouth to enter the queen's tomb even if we got here.
I don't know why, I have not been nervous, when I passed through this deep pool and entered the new branch river, I suddenly felt a little nervous, and I always felt that the huge hole was like a beast that chose people to devour, opening its mouth to swallow me and Shen Jingyun.
The further the boat goes, the more complicated the waterway becomes, and in addition to the many curves, there are sometimes two or three divergences in different directions, as if the ship has entered a huge labyrinth.
After the initial novelty passed, I no longer felt new to the scenery of this underground cave, but drove in the dark underground for a long time, which made me feel a little depressed and dull. I walked into the cab and sat next to Shen Jingyun without saying a word, staying quietly, occasionally looking up to see Shen Jingyun's side face.
As the route became more complicated, his expression became more and more serious, and there was a slight sweat on his forehead, which showed that he was also under tremendous pressure when driving in this river, after all, Wang Yun was drifting here unintentionally for the first time.
I leaned against the wall of the boat, and suddenly thought of one thing, how likely is it to drift here in such a complicated river? In terms of probability, it may have been narrowed down to one in a thousand, one in ten thousand.
Could this really happen to a person who is unconscious? And Wang Yun's situation was a little different from ours at that time, Shen Jingyun and I drove a boat into the river and followed the map left by Wang Yun to find the queen's tomb. Shen Jingyun still felt that the complexity of the river made him difficult, and Wang Yun was in a coma, the boat actually drifted to the right route like this, and there are many curves here, won't the boat run aground?
Judging from the facts, there is no other reasonable explanation, including Wang Yun herself who thinks it was an accident.
Or, there is a mysterious power that deliberately guides Wang Yun to the past? I opened my eyes suddenly, wondering if I had the illusion of what I thought, but I really felt that there was a force that seemed to guide everything.
I thought this way at first, but God was joking with me, and the more I thought about it, the clearer it became, until it was like an invisible hand pulling us along the boat.
At this time, I couldn't help but call Shen Jingyun anymore, although I didn't want to disturb him when he was so engrossed, but I couldn't get rid of this feeling.
I thought that Shen Jingyun was so focused, I told him that he would ignore me, but I didn't expect that he actually glanced back at me, so he simply stopped the boat, looked at me and said, "Xiaoshuang, do you feel that there is a force pulling us?" My feelings are vague, I'm not sure. But this feeling, I can't get rid of it. ”
"That's not a blur at all, Shen Jingyun, there is a very clear force pulling us." I subconsciously said such a sentence to Shen Jingyun.
