Chapter 33: I'll Check It Out Too
The onlookers quickly regrouped, and after waiting for more than two hours, four small boxes were delivered below. The box is about the same size as a 17-inch suitcase, but it is particularly heavy. After the first two pulled up, the people below were in a hurry, tied the rest together and left. A few of us were holding on to the rope together, and when we saw the box go out of the ground, one leg of the tripod could not support the weight and split in the middle with a "squeak". The man in black hurriedly grabbed the rope, but his center of gravity was still unstable, and the box fell to the ground and fell apart. Even though they cleaned up very quickly, I could see it. It was a uniform gold bar, and it was really dazzling on a cloudy day.
Although Humar's predecessors were grieving, they still found their relatives in the end. The onlookers waited in the torrential rain, but no bodies were brought up. Their expressions of disappointment were drowned out by the rain, and I couldn't see them.
Shen Qiming said that the channel relies on mantras to maintain balance. Now that the balance is broken, what will happen?
"I'll go down and have a look."
The tripod was put back together, and I grabbed the rope and tied it around my waist.
The man in black couldn't help but stop me, snatch the rope away, and directly gestured to me to leave.
I tried to tell, but suddenly I understood. On the one hand, they are guarding the top to respond, and on the other hand, they are also to prevent the dozens of people looking for relatives from waiting to squeeze in.
is already dead, and if they have a bad deal in such a bad environment below, won't the Shen family's debts get bigger and bigger?
Every second of waiting was extremely tiring, the man in black changed rounds, and I didn't want to leave yet.
There was a dull boom in the distance, which did not sound like thunder, and the aftermath was long, sometimes strong and sometimes weak. I wiped a handful of Liuhai and looked out, and the sky was low and pressed to the top of the mountain.
At this time, a middle-aged man next to me dragged me, and I saw that he was a little familiar.
"Our Mokunda asked me to tell you something."
Oh, I remember, he was one of the two people who took the snow rabbit just now, and then he left with the old man on his back, why did he come back again?
"Who?"
He paused and explained: "Mokunda said that the water is about to be distributed, so let you be careful." ”
After saying these words, he patted me on the shoulder and waded away.
Their family is by the Humar River, and they must know a lot about water. My heart sank, and I pulled a man in black to tell him about it, and he hurriedly discussed with a few others, and finally sent a representative to ask Shen Erye for instructions.
This place is on the bank of the river, and it is next to the stone mountain. If the flash flood and the overflow attack at the same time, then we will be able to talk about it at the top, and there is still a way to think about it, what will happen to the people below?
The crowd of onlookers was gradually forced into the shed by the rain, and the man in black had a hard time coping with it. Taking advantage of their confusion, I quietly pulled a flashlight out of the trouser pocket of a man in black and put it in my pocket.
The top of the tripod was a wheel that had been removed from the ancient well, replaced with a stronger rope, and hung down in the passage. I pulled it out and wrapped it around my waist, tying it in a haphazard knot. I could already see the surface of the water below, and even if I jumped straight down, I would definitely be fine.
Taking advantage of the chaos, I jumped under my feet, and "Gollum" was stuck in the water. This movement is not small, and the people in black may think that someone in the chaos has been squeezed out, and they have come to see.
You can't stop me now, can you? I stepped on the water, a little proud in my heart, and couldn't help but compare scissor hands.
The people in black found out that it was me, and their heads disappeared in less than a second, which was really not a matter of concern at all.
I've seen the photos and I'm mentally prepared, but the situation inside has already changed beyond recognition. The flashlight shone past the murky water, and there were pieces of wood and cloth floating on the surface, and some debris of something I don't know what it was. The water is just over two meters above the top of the cave, and everything is submerged under the surface except for the concrete walls and the brick vault.
The front and back were illuminated, and it was pitch black on both sides. When the person who sent the things before went back, he probably went east, that is, in the direction of the long bridge. I put the flashlight in my mouth and swam forward with my hands and feet.
The surface of the water didn't change much at first, but after five or six minutes I felt the current getting faster and faster, and it literally pushed me forward. I know it's a change in the terrain, and maybe there's a whirlpool. I quickly leaned against the concrete wall and took the flashlight again.
The flashlight stopped in front of my eyes, less than three meters away, a granite gate.
This is the last stone of the bar, which means that on the other side of it is the real location of the secret room.
An indescribable excitement rose in my chest, and the truth, the secret, was right in front of me.
Be sure to go over, be sure to go in!
I retracted the beam of the flashlight and carefully observed the flow of water. On the surface, it is relatively stable, but you can feel the water flow faster and deeper you go down.
The sister-in-law had already entered, and the floodgates had been opened, but not completely.
I took a deep breath, pinched my nose and sank it down. Almost as soon as I entered the water, I was driven by the undercurrent below and rushed straight to the gate. At this time, it is best if you can hit the wall, and if you are caught in the gap, it is bad. Anyway, no matter how much I struggled, I couldn't slow down, so I simply stretched my hands forward and tried to let my arms touch something first.
Soon, I had a dull pain in my wrist and pushed it onto a rough surface.
Great, I felt down the plane, about half a meter deep, and finally touched the flat bottom of the gate.
For some reason, the body that had been cut in half came to my mind. The man tried to climb into the upper passage, but the golden gate fell, and his flesh and bones were crushed into mud. Maybe he won't die immediately, the other half of the door is drifting with the water, and the head inside the door looks like it's gone. Soon, he will be like those who have been subjected to the foehn wind, and he will be reduced to decay. He was lucky enough to see both parts of his body again. Can I? What's the point of a corpse being able to return home? The more I thought about it, the more panicked I became, and I didn't hold my breath, and quickly floated up the gate.
The flashlight is still on, like a permanent light in this underground space.
Leaning against the gate, I tried my best to calm my chaotic breathing, and stared at the small whirlpool on the water in a daze, my mind in a panic.
I don't dare to go through this gate, I really don't dare. This is not cowardice, I sincerely think that these secrets are not worth the risk of my life just to see them.
If you don't go in, you can leave, what's the matter with the pestle outside this gate? I made up my mind, pressed the gate with my backhand and rubbed it to the side, and when I looked up, my mother!
More than a dozen urns of ashes floated towards me, and they were right in front of me, and I didn't need them for half a minute.
This, this, this......
I hurriedly raised the flashlight, I didn't know what to shine, I swept up and down, left and right, and everywhere the miserable white light was a vague shadow. The back is against the stone gate, and there is a slight sense of security. If I look at their trajectory again, they will definitely hit me directly, and there is no way to escape, but the stone gate is in the way.
The urn is getting closer and closer, and one by one it is turning diagonally, and I feel sick again.
I'd better go in!
