Chapter 143 [Skull Wall] (I)

Several people's judgments were right, Luo Lie and Sparrow were washed into the well by the flood, and then sent into the flood drainage tunnel by the undercurrent undercurrent, because they were worried that they would be separated from each other, Luo Hunt and Sparrow tried their best to hug each other, hand and foot entangled, like vines wrapped around trees, the two held their breath, there was darkness in front of them, only to know that they were washed into a black pipe by the current, the first thing that thought of the sparrow was that he had been involved with Luo Hunt, if he was not to rescue himself, he would not have been washed down by the flood, and he was sorry and moved in his heart, and hugged Luo Lie tightly with both arms, hating not to be separated from him for eternity。

Although Luo Lie was in danger, he did not think of giving up, he believed that this flood pipe must have an exit, from the turbulent water flow, it can be judged that this pipe should be inclined downward, only a huge drop can produce such a high-speed water flow, and he secretly hoped in his heart that this flood pipe would be shorter, so that they could get out of danger before suffocation. However, contrary to their wishes, they were not quickly swept to the exit by the current, and their bodies tumbled and drifted in the turbulent current.

The sparrow's arms around Luo Hunt gradually relaxed, she had begun to show signs of suffocation, and her strength began to decline rapidly. Luo Lie didn't feel any lack of oxygen, he soon realized that his ability to last so long in the water should be related to the breathing method taught to him by Wu Jie, unconsciously, his physique has undergone some subtle changes, and an effective breath can provide the body with sufficient oxygen for a long time.

Scientific studies have shown that the human brain consumes a quarter of the oxygen consumed by the whole body, and if you can reduce the oxygen consumption of the brain, you can effectively increase the time you hold your breath. Traditional Chinese Taoism practices qi, pays attention to the mind without distractions, and holds on to the Yuan Yi, which actually coincides with scientific research.

In this dangerous environment, the more nervous and fearful you are, the more oxygen will be consumed, and the sooner the symptoms of hypoxia will appear, so it is necessary to eliminate distractions and relax your mind and body as much as possible.

Although only about seven minutes had passed, Luo Hunt seemed to have passed a whole century, and just when an ominous distraction occurred in his heart, he felt that his body was thrown out of the air, and the water finally washed them to the other end of the flood channel, and the bodies of Luo Lie and the sparrow were like cannonballs from the exit of the channel with the flow of water, and then fell down like a parabola, falling into an underground river.

Luo Lie didn't care to observe the surrounding environment, he hugged the sparrow who was already unconscious, swam desperately to the shore, dragged the sparrow to the shore, untied her coat, loosened her neckline, pressed her abdomen, and helped the sparrow pour out the water in her body.

After pouring the water, the sparrow was still unconscious, Luo Lie used the knowledge he had to help her perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and after about ten minutes of work, the sparrow reacted, and after a series of coughs, he lay on the ground and spit out several mouthfuls of yellow water.

She knelt on the ground, supporting the ground with her hands, and it took a long time to slow down a little, wipe the water stains from the corners of her lips, and saw Luo Lie playing a lighter, the firelight illuminated Luo Lie's handsome and pale face, and he showed a knowing smile to the sparrow: "Your life is really big." It is encouragement and comfort, and it is also a blessing for the two of them to escape.

The sparrow didn't care to speak, and breathed heavily, making up for the loss of oxygen just now, and at the same time recovering the lost memory.

Luo Hunt didn't feel too tired, and got up from the ground, he thought that the sparrow who was still turning his back to him was embarrassed by his rescue of her just now, so he no longer took the initiative to mention what happened just now, and he would take care of other people's feelings at any time. The Old Summer Palace, which is known as the Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens, is a huge building complex, ordinary people see the buildings on the ground, but they can't see the huge and spectacular drainage project underground, and they should be washed into the central part of the underground drainage project by the sudden flood flow.

After the sparrow regained her strength, the first thing that came to mind was that Luo Lie must have done artificial respiration for herself just now, Fang was shy and happy in her heart, although she had a cheerful temperament, but after all, she was a yellow flower girl who had not left the pavilion, considering that she and Luo Lie had such intimate contact, she didn't know how to face her for a while.

Luo Lie closed the lighter, the metal shell of the lighter was already a little hot, and the surroundings fell into darkness again.

The sparrow was a little frightened and said, "Luo Hunt!"

Luo Lie answered, and it didn't take long to feel the sparrow's soft and cold little hand grasp his big hand, Luo Lie held her slender hand in the palm of his hand, comforted her in the dark, and silently soothed her frightened heart.

The sparrow's mood soon calmed down completely, and he whispered: "This should be the flood discharge project under the Old Summer Palace, and we should be able to walk out along this river." ”

Luo Lie had the same idea as her, and said softly: "I wonder if the secret treasure will be hidden here?"

Sparrow said, "Maybe." She didn't have much desire for the vault in the first place, especially after experiencing the life and death catastrophe just now, she only felt that even if she compared all the wealth in the world with Luo Hunt, it was not worth mentioning, as the so-called, it was easy to get priceless treasures, and it was rare to have a lover, and her brain made up for the process of Luo Hunt rescuing herself just now, and her pretty face couldn't help but blush more and more, fortunately, they were in a dark, even if they were close, they couldn't see each other's faces clearly, let alone the change in expression.

Luo Lie seemed to notice the abnormality of the sparrow, and whispered, "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, it's just...... I feel a little cold......" The sparrow subconsciously moved closer to Luo Lie, and his heart couldn't help but pound.

Luo Lie stretched out his arms and gently wrapped his arms around her shoulders, and the sparrow leaned his head into his arms, and suddenly felt that this dark and damp underground was not so terrible, and it seemed to have become the most beautiful and warm place in the world in an instant. Just when the sparrow was immersed in the warmth brought to him by Luo Hunt, he suddenly heard a series of exclamations from above.

Luo Lie raised his head, the exclamation was obviously from his partner, he re-lit the lighter, and through the faint light of the flames, he saw two black shadows being washed out of the flood channel they had just passed through, and successively landed in the center of the river, smashing on the surface of the river, and making a large splash.

Luo Lie hurriedly ran over and said in surprise: "Blind! Arnold! Is that you?"

The blind man and Arnold heard Luo Lie's voice and responded at the same time, and the two tried their best to swim towards the shore where Luo Hunt was, and with Luo Lie's help, the two of them climbed up the river bank like chickens in soup.

The blind man saw the sparrow beside Luo Lie, and said with a smile: "Sparrow, you are also there." ”

The sparrow's pretty face was hot, she knew that the blind man had a pair of night eyes that could see in the dark, and she didn't know if the intimate scene between herself and Luo Lie just now was seen by him, which was in line with the sentence of being a thief.

In fact, the blind man and Arnold were rushed out of the torrent just now, and they only cared about shouting, how could they take care of other things, and it was only after Luo Lie called out their names that the blind man came to his senses and saw the surrounding situation clearly.

Seeing that Luo Lie was safe and sound, the stone in the blind man's heart finally landed. Arnold remembered the thrilling process just now and was inevitably a little afraid, and subconsciously touched the wine jug, only to remember that he had thrown it before he jumped.

After the catastrophe, the mood was inevitably excited, the first person to calm down was still Luo Lie, he reminded several people to check their belongings, each of them carried a flashlight, but because of the water was all damaged, none of them could be used normally. The bag that the blind man carried with him to carry the grenade was also lost in the torrent, Arnold came specially to rescue them, with the most various items he carried, and basically all of them, the most important of which were two lifebuoys and some weapons, fortunately the bag of weapons he carried was well protected, and there was no water after the impact of the torrent just now.

Although they can't see their fingers in this underground drainage pipe, it is not a problem for them, after all, there are blind people, and in addition to the blind people, the lighter in Luo Lie's hand is the only light source they use to illuminate.

Several people discussed in the dark, from the drainage channel they were washed out, it was about seven meters away from here, and it should not be difficult to climb up, but at this time, the water flow in the drainage channel was significantly larger than just now, and it could be inferred that the rain outside was not stopped, but was getting heavier and heavier.

The possibility of them going up the river and back into the well along the original drainage channel is almost non-existent, Sparrow suggests: "I have studied the drainage system of the Old Summer Palace, and if it is the scale and structure of the Yuanmingyuan, there is no other place in the land of China, where the drainage system is intricately intertwined, full of ditches and lakes, and the sewage and rainwater are divided into two different systems, the former is discharged directly into the sewage canal, and the latter is recycled and recycled into the water system of the park." ”

Arnold touched the back of his head and said, "It's not unusual, there are such waterways under London, and many people live in them." He didn't know much about the Old Summer Palace, and he didn't know that it was a collection of the wisdom of craftsmen from both the East and the West.

The blind man said, "You let the sparrow finish." ”

"From where we are now, we should be in the center of rainwater harvesting and drainage, and when it rains, the rainwater enters the ditches through various drainage systems, and then flows through those pipes to this underground river," Sparrow said. ”

The blind man said: "Since it is an underground river, there will be a source, as long as we go down the river, it won't take too long to get out." ”

Sparrow nodded and said, "Yes, I think the outlet of this river is likely to be in the Old Summer Palace." ”

Arnold said: "Is the secret treasure that Ye Qinghong said here?" A sentence reminded the blind man, and his little eyes flashed with a strange brilliance, since they have all come here, there is no reason not to take the opportunity to investigate, maybe the treasure discovered by Prince Rui Yixun is among them.
