Chapter 899: The rain is not at the right time
While discussing the construction plan with the geological team, I crossed the hill and walked in the direction of the camp.
An hour ago, the sky was clear, but now, the translucent dome was completely overcast, and a dense black cloud suppressed the entire western sky, slowly attacking towards the east.
Because our vision was blocked by the mountain just now, we only knew that the sky was overcast, but we didn't see the dark clouds like smoke miasma, at this moment, Zhuang Youxue immediately stopped as soon as he saw the clouds.
Seeing Zhuang Youxue's solemn face, I couldn't help but ask him: "What's wrong?" ”
Zhuang Youxue didn't bother to answer me, just looked up at the cloud, and his fingertips pinched something over and over again.
After a long time, Zhuang Youxue said to himself: "The rain is not at the right time!" ”
I asked him what he meant, and he didn't have time to explain, so he turned around and ran down the hill.
Before we reached the foot of the mountain, the huge rain clouds had been steadily pressed over the swimming water, and the whole water, together with the mountain we were on, was like darkness for a while, and we could hardly see anything without turning on the flashlight.
The cloud was pressed very low, and the thunder sounded as if it was about to explode, and with each sound, a large area of thunder could be seen flickering inside the black cloud.
Wow –
I had just glanced twice into the sky when the rain began to fall.
As soon as the rain fell, it was pouring, and the whole world was wrapped in an extremely dense curtain of water, and the vision suddenly became very short, and the torrential rain was worse than the dense fog in the snow, which could almost instantly seal the road under your feet and your vision.
I quickly pulled out the steel cables, tied everyone's waists, connected them into a line, and then led them in the direction of the camp with the ghost eye, in such rain, even the ghost eye could only see the surrounding scene for about ten meters.
Zhuang Youxue is most worried about Lao Zuo now, he is afraid that the rain will pour into the tomb and flood directly to the underground river beach, not to mention that the rain is so heavy that the river veins underground will rise.
But I believe that Lao Zuo will be fine.
I was right, when we retreated to the vicinity of the camp, Lao Zuo and Xing Wei had just transferred a few people and planned to go to the mountains to find us.
Due to the heavy rain, it has not been long since the descent, the water level of the swimming water has submerged into our camp, the terrain in this area is very low, it will not be long before the water level will be knee-high or even higher, I and Lao Zuo briefly summed it up, and decided to retreat to the mountain road with the big guy.
The terrain is high, and it is far from several nearby mountains, so it is not afraid of landslides.
But what we didn't expect was that the rain came and went down very quickly, and before we could retreat to the mountain road with our people, the rain clouds in the sky dispersed.
I'm talking about scattering, not rain clouds being blown away.
At that time, it was as if a very strong air flow had rushed into the clouds, and it was scattered at once, and the clouds that did not dissipate at the first time only swelled in the air for a few seconds, and then dispersed.
In this way, the sky once again changed from night-like darkness to the transparency that it should have been in the afternoon.
Towards five o'clock in the afternoon, the sun had already poured into the col of the West Mountain, and the light of the West was sprinkled along the surface of the water, turning the whole body of water into a brilliant orange.
Nearly a hundred people stood on a ramp near the mountain road and looked at the lake, the air condensed with a solemn smell, no one spoke, and even most of them deliberately held their breath, and the surroundings were frighteningly quiet.
In the end, Lao Zuo broke the silence: "Senior Brother Zhuang, you shouldn't have calculated that it was going to rain, right?" ”
Zhuang Youxue is a person who is a person in the soul of Zhuang Tunmeng, and his attainments in fortune-telling are extremely high, so it is said that he only needs to look at the sky in general and pinch it a little, and he can calculate the changes in the past few days.
But judging from Zhuang Youxue's reaction to looking at the sky from the mountain, he should not have calculated that there would be heavy rain.
Zhuang Youxue's brows slowly twisted into a pimple: "The rain is not at the right time, this rain should have fallen before the day after tomorrow, and the rain was not so strong." ”
The rain of the day after tomorrow has been brought down in advance today, but anyone with a little scientific knowledge will think that Zhuang Youxue is talking nonsense, but this rain did come too suddenly, and the rain clouds that were entrenched in the sky before were also extremely weird and unsettling.
I reckon that the old temple under the ground will be washed away by this rain, but the bronze tree that melted on the stone island should still be there.
But things turned out to be completely opposite to my assumptions.
By about nine o'clock in the evening, the water level had returned to normal, and the camp was filled with soaked mud and a pile of old bricks and tiles that had been washed away by the water, but which were not there until the heavy rain came.
I picked up a brick and smelled it, and there was a smell of Hongwu years wafting from it.
Lao Zuo came over at the right time and told me that they had transported the entire ancient temple out, and by splicing these bricks and tiles, the original appearance of the ancient temple could be restored.
After that, Lao Zuo and I went to the underground river beach to check the situation, and found that the bronze tree was gone.
The rocky island, which had been very smooth by the water, was severely cracked, and if you looked down the cracks, you could see the grooves left by the roots and veins of the tree, but the entire root system was washed away by the water along with the bronze tree, and not even a bit of copper powder was left.
Since the water level has just risen once, even now that the water level has recovered, the water level of the river is still extremely fast.
Lao Zuo and I risked our lives and walked nearly five kilometers downstream along the river until we reached the place where the river veins branched out in large numbers, and we did not find the shadow of the bronze tree.
Later, we asked the people from the geological team, and the people from the geological team said that the underground water veins in this area are quite complicated, and the bronze tree is too large, and after being washed into the water veins, it is likely to be stuck in the waterway, and it is impossible to find it.
In addition, the people from the geological team also said that the speed of the water rising and the water level falling were too fast to be explained by common sense.
The abyss disappeared, Lao Wei was scared to death, and now that the bronze tree was nowhere to be found, I could feel more and more that dormant power recurring, hindering our true desire to discover the secret.
But in the face of such power, we are too small to do anything.
Dure, extremely dull.
Such emotions were rapidly spreading through the camp, and by the time I rested that night, I could already feel that the dullness had grown a serious smell of erosion.
The people in the camp have no fighting spirit, no matter how Xing Wei and Zhuang Youxue mobilize, they can't get them to raise a trace of motivation, even Huang Yuzhong and Jing Zimai's brothers are all sluggish, not to mention them, even Lao Zuo and I are full of depression.
I felt that if I stayed like this, something would happen in the camp sooner or later, and there was no point in exploring any longer, so I proposed to Zhuang Youxue to let everyone withdraw.
Zhuang Youxue also knew that he couldn't consume it any longer, so he didn't say a word, and nodded on the spot.
Originally, everyone was very tired, but when the news of the retreat spread, everyone lost their sleep, and even at three or four o'clock in the morning, some people got up to pack their luggage, and everyone had no other meaning, just to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
The retreat, which was originally scheduled for nine o'clock the next morning, was brought forward to a quarter past seven, and at five o'clock, Lao Zuo pulled up an engineer platoon and loaded the "ancient temple" onto the military vehicle. During this period, Xing Wei and I also took the soldiers to transport the ancient artifacts and two coffins in the Ming tomb to the car.
Before leaving, Xing Wei used explosives to blow up the drainage hole, and at present, this Ming tomb cannot be allowed to be excavated by archaeologists for the time being, and the situation inside is unknown, which is too dangerous.
At seven o'clock, the soldiers and the survey personnel had already boarded the car, and fifteen minutes later the car started, and they finally got their wish and walked home.
Lao Zuo and I stood on the mountain road and watched several military vehicles drive away quickly.
The mountain road has not yet dried, and the wheels of the car cannot raise dust, but on the wet road, there are very deep wheel prints.
It wasn't until the military vehicle disappeared from the four-kilometer-long wheel print that I withdrew my gaze and looked back at the calm water.
Before coming to Guiyin Mountain, I thought that I had calculated everything that was going to happen, but now, I understand that people are not as good as heaven.
Lao Zuo patted me on the shoulder: "It's time for us to go back to Bohai Bay, right?" ”
I shook my head: "There are still some trivial matters here in Miao Jiang that have not been cleaned up, you go back first to prepare for the graduation defense, I may have to stay here for a while." ”
Lao Zuo said: "The later things will be dealt with organizationally, don't get too involved, the Wu family has always been more special for our industry, they have difficulties, we can help, but their internal affairs, it is best to let them deal with it themselves." ”
I have to say that in many cases, Lao Zuo's perspective on the problem is very far-reaching.
I nodded and decided to go back to Bohai Bay with Lao Zuo.
Before leaving the water, I took Lao Zuo's high-tech mobile phone and called Zhang Donghai.
At that time, they had not yet arrived at Duling Mountain, and when they answered the phone, their tone was very relaxed: "Why did you suddenly remember to contact me, what's the matter?" ”
He spoke in this tone, presumably for fear that the would be suspicious.
I asked him, "If I speak, can the people around you hear me?" ”
"Say, what's the welcome?" Zhang Donghai's tone was still very relaxed, as if he was gossiping with a friend he knew.
I continued: "The army has been withdrawn from the swimming water, so don't take those people to Duling Mountain, find a deserted place to put them down, and don't forget to leave enough rations for them, don't starve to death in the mountains." ”
"Don't worry, I'll take them to have a good time, hang up."
As he spoke, Zhang Donghai hung up the phone.
Lao Zuo said on the side: "There's no need to embarrass those thorns, let them come back." ”
"I'm not happy now, I don't feel embarrassed, they don't feel happy."
"I'm afraid that they will be deflated here, and they will embarrass Senior Brother Zhuang even more when they go back."
I gave Lao Zuo a smile: "Don't worry, I won't give them such a chance." ”
Lao Zuo also smiled: "You have made up your mind to calculate them." I don't know why, every time I see you calculating people, I feel a chill in my heart. ”
