Chapter 14: Wake up

I don't know how long it took for me to regain consciousness.

I just feel a terrible headache, and I want to open my eyes but I can't use my strength.

There was a chill all over my body, and in general, it felt a bit like a high fever.

There seemed to be a hard ground beneath me, and I don't know if the water had receded, or if I had been swept up some level by the turbulence.

I want to adjust my breathing and try to do it.

But I felt a burst of pain in my chest, and I couldn't help but spit out a few mouthfuls of stinky water.

That's when I felt a little more relaxed.

Jiang Shuo, are you awake?

I dimly heard Qin Yiheng call me, and then I felt that he was testing my body temperature.

I wanted to show that I woke up, but I couldn't even blink the most basic. I could only feel that Qin Yiheng drove me up and leaned against the wall.

After sitting up, I suddenly felt an itch in my throat and eyes, coughed a few times, and found that more stinky water was coughed out by me.

I think I may be hopeless, not to mention whether there will be sequelae of drowning, just to say that the smell of this stinky water is poisonous. I'm afraid that what I feel right now is a symptom of poisoning.

You hold on. Qin Yiheng patted my face and lifted my hand up.

After fumbling for a while, he stabbed me in the palm with something.

This hurt me so much that I immediately screamed out. After that, I suddenly realized that I felt like I had been given control of my body again. Countless sensations came up all over the body. There was pain, a numbness and more of the coldness of the soaked clothes clinging to the skin.

I coughed twice more and slowed down for a while before I finally opened my eyes.

I was a little surprised by what I saw, it wasn't dark all around, but my eyes didn't adjust to the light for a while, I just felt that everything I saw was foggy.

Qin Yiheng squatted in front of me, his upper body naked, and he didn't know where his clothes went.

Then I figured out that we were in the tunnel.

Looking sideways, sure enough, the well was not far away. It exudes a kind of weirdness.

My heart swelled. Hurriedly grabbed Qin Yiheng's arm.

Blank open! Do you see the white open?

I've seen all the places. Didn't find him. Qin Yiheng shook his head reluctantly, Jiang Shuo, people have to keep hope.

I didn't say anything, to be honest, I really wanted to let go and scream to vent my emotions. But I know it's not going to help.

After a long pause, I could continue to ask, is there any smoke?

Qin Yiheng pointed to my chest, you can turn it over yourself. I'm not sure.

Only then did I realize that I was wearing Qin Yiheng's clothes. I had already taken off my clothes and used them as ropes.

I fumbled around and found only one lighter.

"How did we get here? Something in the water sucked me in before! "When I looked around, there was not even any water left in the tunnel, and the ground was dry. I should have been in a coma for a lot longer than I thought. I said, how long have I been unconscious?

I don't know. We were already here when I woke up. I just woke up a little bit earlier than you did. Qin Yiheng pointed to the well, you have a good rest, I am going to go to the well to have a look. Maybe Bai Kai is in it.

To be honest, I really wanted to sleep in this tunnel.

But now that Bai Kai's life and death are uncertain, I can't give up any hope. What's more, I can go down with me, and I can take care of each other.

This time I have already thought about it, but if there is a situation where the chain is dropped, I will apologize with death.

I moved my arm a little and thought I should be able to handle the stroke.

I patted my thigh, my muscles hurt, and I stood up and walked a few steps, which was OK.

I say, I'll go too! Don't stop me. It's useless.

I did a squat, which was kind of a warm-up. But suddenly I found that my stomach was hit by something.

When I looked down, I found a small brass ring on my belt buckle. I don't know when it started hanging here.

I tugged at it, and there was a movable notch in the brass ring. I took it down very easily. But I turned it over and looked at it for a long time, and I didn't recognize what it was.

This copper ring, said that it is not big, when the bracelet is obviously not enough. It is not small to say that it is not small, and it is not reliable to use it as earrings or rings.

Qin Yiheng estimated that he was thinking about how to persuade me not to go down the well. See me fiddling with a brass ring. He also leaned over curiously.

Qin Yiheng, this copper ring yours? It occurred to me that he woke up before me, probably to protect something I had used.

No. Qin Yiheng pondered for a long time before saying, this seems to be in vain. They need to drive spiritual objects, and there will be a lot of things on them that I would never use. Qin Yiheng connected the copper ring, this may be a lock, you can understand it as the kind of copper ring worn on the nose of a cow, the effect is roughly the same, it is all to restrain spiritual objects.

Originally, my mood had calmed down, but when I heard this, I couldn't help but flood again.

So, this brass ring was left to me by Bai Kai? I thought that when I was underwater, Bai Kai was tied to me. In this way, the copper ring was buckled at that time?

But what did he do it for? A souvenir? Or do you treat Lao Tzu as a spiritual object and lock it up?

In any case, it must have meant something to leave me in such a critical situation.

I hurriedly and carefully put away the brass ring and put it in my inner pocket. I touched my whole body uneasily, and confirmed that there was nothing else, so I said, let's go.

Qin Yiheng originally wanted to say something, but seeing that I was so determined, he could only sigh. Tell me that once I go down, I will come up immediately if there is any situation.

He was the first to jump into the well.

The water in the house receded, and the water in the well seemed to be even more.

The water level is a lot higher than it seemed to me.

The well is still bottomless, and the strange smell of lying at the mouth of the well goes straight to the nose.

Qin Yiheng fluttered twice in the well and beckoned to me, so I held on to the edge of the well and went down.

The water in the well seems to be colder than in the house before. It took me a while to get used to it, and then I stopped.

The heart said that it was fortunate to warm up, otherwise in this kind of place, if you have cramps, you will die.

exchanged glances with Qin Yiheng, took a deep breath together, and the two of them completely dived into the water.

It was also from the previous experience that I felt that my water quality had become much better.

It quickly sank several meters in one breath, and although the visibility was very poor, it was in a well after all, so at least there would be no chance of getting lost.

Swimming, Qin Yiheng paused. I watched dimly as he pointed to the wall of the well.

Only then did I realize that we didn't need to dive so hard at all, as long as we grabbed the iron chain and borrowed it, it would be much easier.

So the two of them climbed to the chain at the same time and continued to dive.

It's a bit complicated, but it only takes about twenty seconds.

We also have to be cautious when we estimate the amount of oxygen needed to return to the surface.

After diving about 10 meters, I had to turn upstream.

After surfacing, the two of us rested on the edge of the well for a while and decided to dive again.

One is that I didn't see any valuable clues other than the iron chain just now. Second, we suddenly found that the well was much deeper than we had expected. I don't know if it's psychological, but I always feel like there's something big hidden underneath.

The heart said damn that Markham Rong, that old ghost is really a fork, how did he escape from such a deep well?

The process of the second dive is similar to the first. Only this time we borrowed the chain from the beginning. So it's more effortless.

And Qin Yiheng was outside the tunnel and found a flashlight baton that was washed in by water. Although the flashlight has been short-circuited, sometimes bright and sometimes dark, it is better than nothing.

This time, we finally saw something clearly by the light of the flashlight.

First of all, as we sank, we gradually found some strange symbols on the walls of the well. The symbols seem to be engraved. This symbol looks very familiar to me. After recalling it, I suddenly remembered that this kind of symbol was seen in the ancestral hall of Wanjia a long time ago, and I remembered that there was a strange big stone grinding plate in the ancestral hall, which was the same symbol as the one on the grinding plate!

I was surprised, but I didn't have time to show surprise.

I think Qin Yiheng's heart is also surging at this time, anyway, my heart is pounding.

This place has something to do with Wanjia!
