Chapter Twenty-Nine: Entering the Water Alone
The rain is still so heavy, like crazy, such a heavy rain in Hangzhou can't last so long.
Ah Gui couldn't help anymore, I guess he was afraid that I was like them, he couldn't stand this kind of stimulation anymore, I told him about the Panma brought me, and told him to be careful about Panma, although I thought that this time Panma might really collapse.
He wanted to remove those dead people, but I said no, those dead people are there, which can prevent Panma from coming back, and it is already difficult to convince him by looking at Panma's appearance. I really didn't expect this man to be so fierce.
Back to the mule, I took off the set of scuba I had brought with me from the noodles and hurried out into the lake. I can't wait a minute, I have to check it out.
Wearing full equipment, I was already very familiar with diving in Hainan, so I was not nervous at this time, and I pushed the raft and swam to the center of the lake in the rain.
With flippers on, I quickly swam to the center of the lake. The torrential rain crashed against the lake, and the thousands of rain lines brought out the deafening sound of rain, and this indescribable sound calmed me down. I searched around for the buoy we had left behind, and found that it was impossible to find it in this environment, so I had to find a general direction, then put on diving goggles and sank into the water.
With this experience, I was a little more relaxed this time, because I knew that this type of diving would never sink to the bottom, so I was going to levitate on the side of the ditch for a while to observe the general situation.
Diving to the previous position, I cut the rope again, exhaling the air in my lungs so that I wouldn't float quickly, and paddling my hands and feet to levitate myself at a fixed depth.
With the goggles, everything under the water was very clear, but unfortunately, the light was much dimmer now, so I kept my balance on my feet, and while sinking as low as I could, I swiped the searchlight with one hand and began to shine into the depths. Soon, a gray-green but well-defined world at the bottom of the lake appeared more clearly before my eyes. I paddled my feet and began to swim forward.
Because the flashlight can only be partially searched, I can't see the whole picture, and I can only connect what I see in my mind with memory. Fortunately, I studied architecture, and I have a special way of remembering, and I can form a whole in my mind the parts I see.
It was a single sè world, everything was dark blue lake sè, swam a little forward, and found that as I thought, the mouth of the ditch to the very dark part of the bottom of the ditch, such a steep slope, all covered with sediment. The bottom of the lake was not flat at all, but a deep, irregular underwater canyon, and the stockade was built on the southern slope of the canyon against the mountain.
For the rest of the day, I floated and dived, changing my position and observing the underwater situation for a short minute.
More details appeared in front of my eyes, the ghostly underwater ancient village, the scale should be comparable to the Yao village when we came, there are fifty-six households, most of them are stilted buildings. But it can be seen from the details that these ancient buildings are not built in modern times, they are very simple, and the characteristics of the Yao people are very obvious. Unlike nowadays, there are many stilted buildings that are not earthy and foreign.
I still have some impressions of where we used to dive, and the fat man also mentioned the place with a fence. Searching the area, I soon found the tiny buoys and saw the fences. I sank immediately, there was nothing underwater, no trace of their existence, and nothing out of the ordinary.
