Chapter 228: Cave Pier

"The docks? However, not to mention that it is really similar, looking at the shape and the long steps over there, like the old pier by the river. Hu Da said with a pout.

This old wharf is the general kind of wharf by the river, and there is a difference between the wharves of the sea and the river, and the difference lies in the different tonnage of the ships they dock. In ancient times, the old wharf in the Yangtze River basin was built on the riverside to build a square platform that resists soil, and then paved with a layer of bluestone slabs, the most important thing is that there are many steps on the side of the river, which extend from the wharf to the river, and the general steps will be built to the bottom of the river, which is relatively rare in the structural form now.

In fact, the fate of this is very simple, in the past, the boats in the river were all small boats, and one or two sails with flat bottoms did not exceed three sails at most, and the water in this kind of boat pond was relatively shallow and easy to drive in the river. But the river has tides, if the wharf is built relatively high, then in the low tide period, standing on the wharf can only see the top of the sails, it is impossible to load and unload goods or allow passengers to enter, you can't put a rope down from the wharf, let people find the rope to climb up, right? That's why there were stepped piers at that time.

The side of the pier that clings to the river is cut into a slope, and then the steps are dug out, all covered with bluestone slabs to bear a certain weight. At low tide, the boat is moored directly on the steps, so that you can walk up and down the steps, which is a very clever way.

Lao Wu is well-informed, he has been to many places, he has walked through all rivers and rivers, and he has also traveled in the Yangtze River. In the past few years with Hu Wan, he has almost finished the rest of his life, and looking at this dock-like place under his feet, Lao Wu feels quite similar. But it was also recognized by Hu Dabao. But there is a question, why are there docks underground? Could it be that you can still walk a boat in this pool of water?

At this time, the big cow squatted on the side near the pool. Gently fiddling with the water in the pool with his hand, he suddenly stood up and dodged. Staring at the water, he said, "There's something in the water, it's circling us." As soon as he said this, Hu Dafang trembled.

"Hey, I said! Don't talk nonsense! This, this dark and black ghost place, don't talk about these scaring people! ”

Lao Wu tilted his head sideways and also looked into the pool water, and his heart was shocked, there was indeed something swimming in this water, and it was very close to the surface of the water. Originally, Lao Wu planned to swim over, but when he saw this thing, he was a little stunned. Suddenly, Lao Wu figured it out, and he lowered his head and carefully recalled the whole process.

Except for the hallucinations that may have been created by Professor Kwan. First of all, there was a huge face on the dome in the underground palace, and after seeing it, I almost wanted to kneel down and kowtow, which was the first fear I felt. When digging the entrance to the cave, the human face of the human head monster in the abdomen suddenly appeared, and there was a terrible scream, which was a kind of fear. Then there is the human-shaped hole on the mural, which can only be entered on knees, narrow and closed, making people breathless, and they can't escape if they want to. The feeling that eternity and eternity are going to be trapped in it is another kind of hermetic fear. And here, this dock-like place, where a huge blue object in the distance emits a faint blue light. With the coldness, the hearts of several people trembled, and the surrounding was a black bottomless pool, and there was something faintly swimming in the water. This is the fear of the unknown darkness of mankind.

Thinking about it this way, they experienced pain and fear along the way. Is this a sacrifice? How can fear a sacrifice be transformed into immortality for someone? I can't tell the story of this thing, it's superstitious at best.

It seems that they are trapped on this "island" at this time. I don't know what the things in the surrounding pool are, but according to the encounters along the way, it will definitely not be so simple, and there is no way to leave, let alone want to chase Professor Naguan.

Hu Dabao didn't feel anything, he opened the soaked cloth bag, brought out all the contents inside, and counted what else could be eaten with the help of the blue light. Dry food must not be thought about, it is all a pulp. There were also three small jugs, one that had been filled with water and was useless, and half a jug of wine, and a small jug of lamp oil that had not yet been used. There was nothing else, it was just a wire stick and the last candle, and there really wasn't anything that could fit in your mouth.

didn't find anything to eat, Hu Dawei was not very satisfied, shook half a pot of soju, walked to Lao Wu's side and pushed him and said, "Hey, I said, let's have a drink?" ”

Lao Wu looked at the feet gloomily, he knew that he was thinking about everything too simply, and he was bent on saving people, and he might even bring himself and these brothers in. Seeing Hu Dabao looking for himself to drink, he didn't talk about him as usual, but took a few sips of the wine jug, and grinned bitterly after putting down the wine jug, but said with a wry smile: "It's not good, we can't get out, and I really let that old Guan play to death." ”

"What? Let him play to death? What are you talking about? Just one bite is too much? Don't pretend! Hu Dawei said with a grin.

Lao Wu looked at him a little strangely, thinking that this guy is afraid of ghosts and strange things, but he is not afraid of death, he may be the kind of master who is afraid of death because of pain, this kind of person has to admire them.

Not to mention taking a sip of wine, this mind not only did not make a mistake but also felt a lot clearer, and his vision was far away, and he couldn't help but see something that emitted blue light in the distance, he asked Xiao Qi and Da Niu and said: "Brothers, which of you has good eyes, can you see where we are." ”

Xiao Qi looked up and said, "It's quite high, like a big cave, oops, it's really big!" ”

Hu Da Bao held Lao Wu's shoulder and said with a smile: "This is what you don't understand, just look at our place with your eyes, how can you see the size, I'll teach you a trick." After finishing speaking, Hu Dafang took a deep breath and shouted violently.

The bursts of echoes echoed in the empty underground, and Lao Wu said with some surprise: "How can there be such a big place, this is much bigger than the underground palace above, and there is so much water, isn't this an underground river?" ”

As he was talking, Da Niu stretched out his hand to silence them, and then looked at the pond in the distance and said to Lao Wu: "Big brother, look at that, there's something floating over." ”

Lao Wu looked in the direction indicated by his big bull, there was a small thing floating on the dark pool, and it seemed to be swaying towards them, seeing this old Wu suddenly became nervous, and dragged the big cow and Xiao Qi who were still standing by the pond to retreat, and then took out the shovel and handed it to the big cow, prepare in advance, don't jump out of a strange thing, save in a hurry.

But as the thing got closer and closer, the brothers were a little dumbfounded, and Hu Dawei even said loudly: "Hey, I said, why is there a small boat floating over?" (To be continued......)
