Chapter 25: The Jade Vein of the Shaft

The bottom of the jar was cracked, and a stream of black water flowed from it, giving off a smell that was difficult to describe in words.

The fat man sighed, poured out a black thing from the jar, soaked it in the lake, and spread it out in the palm of his hand, "It's this thing again."

Wu Xiaoxie's heart sank suddenly, this is actually another piece of iron, plus the three found before, this is already the fourth.

However, unlike the first three, this piece of iron is very small, only the size of a thumb, and the pattern on it is very exquisite, which can be called a work of art.

The small piece of iron has a distinct broken section at one end, apparently a fragment cut from the entire piece of iron.

Several people looked at each other and were speechless for a while.

After a while, the fat man threw the small piece of iron to the little brother, climbed up from the water, and said, "We can ask Agui about the underwater Yao Village, he is a native of the village, maybe he knows what is going on."

Wu Xiaoxie nodded, "Okay, let's go ashore first and try to put these bones together."

I didn't find any other useful information in my backpack, and when I looked at the time, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon.

Zhang Qixun took out a fixed cone from the space, connected the rope and threw it into the water, and made a mark for the water area with a buoy.

Then the four of them rowed back to the shore, and when Agui saw the net bag, he thought they had caught the fish, and was about to come forward to catch it, but he found that the net was full of bones, and he shouted in shock.

Although Yun Cai was young, when he saw the scene in front of him, his face was only a few degrees white, and he knew that Zhang Qixun had something to do for them, so he reacted quickly, and quickly said that he would cook for them, and pulled Agui away.

The fat man was still thinking about how to explain it, but who expected the two of them to be so straightforward, they didn't ask, and they were a little stunned for a while.

Zhang Qixun patted him, "Don't be stunned, hurry up and move these things up, and fight a few more before dinner."

Move all the bones to the open space next to the tent, pile up the rest of the mess on the other side, put the diving equipment back in the tent, and then change into short-sleeved shorts that are convenient for work, drag the rubber boat ashore, tie it to the stone with a rope, and then unscrew the air valve to release a little gas, so that the next time you use it, you can not only save the time of inflation, but also prevent the rubber boat from being too tight and flatulating, and accelerate the aging under the sun.

Wu Xiaoxie and the two roughly classified the bones, and Zhang Qixun and the little brother fought the bone shelf on the side.

When the clouds came to call them to eat, there were already four barely intact skeletons in the clearing.

Wu Xiaoxie asked Ah Gui if he knew about the underwater Yao Village while eating, and he guessed that the one under the water might be the old site of the Yao Village in the past, and later there was a big flood or a mudslide or something, which flooded the village, but what he couldn't figure out was why the current Yao Village was almost the same size as the Yao Village under the water, which was equivalent to copy and paste, could it be that the people who built the village back then had some obsessive compulsive disorder?

Hearing him say this, Ah Gui thought for a long time, then shook his head and said, "Actually, I also think it's a little strange, all of us know that there is a lake here, but this lake doesn't even have a name until now, and the old people in the village don't often mention it."

Seeing that he said so absolutely, the fat man suddenly thought of something and asked Ah Gui, "I remember you said that you used to have an old village that was burned by a mountain fire, could it be this one under the water, the village was not actually on fire at the beginning, but was flooded, so you all said that you can't see a trace on the ground, didn't you call the fire away the water before, maybe you remember it badly." ….

Ah Gui still shook his head, "It's been too long, and the legend of the burned old village is all about the time of Emperor Ming, whether there is a relationship between the two, I can't say for a while."

Looking at the pensive expressions on the faces of several people, Ah Gui remembered his daughter's words, and still said, "Otherwise, when we go down the mountain, I will go to the old hunters in the village to inquire, they have seen more than me, and they may know something."

Wu Xiaoxie nodded, "Thank you very much."

After eating, while the sky was not completely dark, they picked through the pile of garbage and found a leather notebook, but unfortunately the contents had already been blistered.

The little brother pinched it from the backpack before

The badge turned out, sitting on the stone by the lake with one leg bent, frowning slightly, and looking a little trance-like.

Zhang Qixun took a bamboo skewer of wild fruit from the grill, walked over and handed it to him, and asked softly, "What do you remember?"

The little brother came back to his senses, looked at the fruit that was a little burnt, and didn't dislike it, he shook his head after taking a bite, "I don't know, anyway, the black shadow under the water gives me a very bad feeling."

Zhang Qixun also frowned, the speed of that thing was so fast, he didn't see what it was at all, but he always felt that it was related to the collapsed shoulder.

Before Yun Cai followed them up the mountain, he should have already passed a letter with his shoulders, and since Yun Cai chose to cooperate with them, Zhang Qixun had no reason to refuse.

"Let the innocent and the fat man go down the mountain tomorrow, and let them check the written information of the expedition back then." Zhang Qi searched.

The little brother glanced at him, understood what he meant, nodded, and handed him the badge that was already a little blurry, "Check this too."

If the dark shadows in the water really collapsed their shoulders, then the innocent and fat people would be in danger at any time if they stayed here, so it was better to take them away.

In the original plot, the method chosen by the collapsed shoulders was to break them one by one, and if he wanted to keep the secret, the first thing he had to deal with was naturally Zhang Qixun, who was the most threatening to him.

Knowing that he can't deal with it alone, he will definitely use his familiar environment and use the method in the original plot to trap people in the Milota Cave by using the siphon tide.

"It's not a good habit to eavesdrop, little girl." Zhang Qixun opened his mouth lazily.

A very light footstep came from behind him, and the cloud stood behind the two of them, asking softly, "What should I do next?"

Zhang Qixun glanced back at her, "Since he has already gotten the news, tomorrow you and your father will take the fat man and them down the mountain, and there is nothing else to do."

Cloud bit his lip, "What about you two? Heavy rain is going to fall on Giethoorn soon."

Zhang Qixun smiled, "That's just right, use the weather to drag them down, drag them for a few more days."

"Or you go out with the fat man and see the world outside."

Yun Cai understood the meaning of his words, nodded, and reminded, "I know, you should be careful, he is ...... here. It's very familiar."

"Don't worry." Zhang Qixun waved his hand, thought about it, and added, "That fat guy is actually not bad, if you ...... Forget it, it's up to you."

After all, it is a girl's lifelong business, although the fat man is his brother, but if it is really not suitable, he can't force the goose and the mandarin duck together. ….

At the mention of the fat man, Yun Cai pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "Fat brother...... Well, he's very good, actually, I like him a lot."

Seeing Zhang Qixun looking at her with some surprise, Yun Cai lowered his head a little embarrassed, kicked a few small pits on the ground on his toes, and put his hands behind his back a little restrainedly, "Anyway, thank you."

With that, he turned around and trotted back to the tent to pack up the things he was going to take down the mountain.

Seeing this, the fat man hurriedly asked what was going on, and when he heard that Yun Cai said that Zhang Qixun asked them to go down the mountain, he hurriedly pulled Wu Xiaoxie to the lake and ran to the rocks, and asked with a straight face, "What do you mean?" Why don't you treat me and innocence as your own brothers?"

Zhang Qixun rolled his eyes, "Don't think too much, just let you go back and check the information, we have too few clues in our hands, and it's faster for the soldiers to divide into two ways, isn't it."

The fat man didn't believe it, "Don't you kid try to fool me, did you find some danger and want to separate the two of us?"

Zhang Qixun sighed helplessly, it seems that a fat man with big nerves is really careful sometimes.

"Really, I don't believe you ask the little brother." Zhang Qixun pointed to the little brother who was camouflaging the background board on the side, "He can't lie."

The little brother was expressionless and did not say anything.

Wu Xiaoxihu said suspiciously, "You really didn't lie to us? Why do I always feel like you two have something to hide from us?"

Zhang Qixun tried his best to make his expression look sincere, "There are many naïve acquaintances, it is more convenient to check the information, and the fat man can take care of him, and after the two of you leave Banai."

, which is equivalent to getting rid of the stalking of those people behind them, just me and my little brother, if they appear, it will not be a big problem to deal with."

Wu Xiaoxie frowned, still feeling that something was wrong, but for a while, he couldn't see the flaw in Zhang Qixun's expression.

The fat man's expression changed a few times, and he stared at the dark water for a few moments, "That's okay, we will go out for a maximum of ten days, and it may not take ten days, and we will come back when we find out."

Zhang Qixun breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and handed the badge to Wu Xiaoxie, "Check this thing too, it should be the sign of the organization that those people belonged to at the beginning."

"Alright." The fat man patted Wu Xiaoxie, "You still don't worry about their skills, it's not like you can't see each other again, go, go back to eat barbecue, my future father-in-law has beaten two rabbits today, and I smell it when I stand here."

﹉﹉﹉

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Ah Gui left Sheephorn Mountain with Yun Cai and Wu Xiaoxie Fat Man.

The weather was indeed as the clouds say, gloomy, dark clouds, and raindrops seemed to fall at any moment.

It's quite a bit of a stormy smell.

Zhang Qixun put away a rubber boat and rowed another boat with his little brother to the place marked yesterday.

After putting on their wetsuits, the two went into the water again.

This time the goal was clear, Zhang Qixun and the little brother quickly salvaged a bunch of bones, went back and forth several times, and basically salvaged the things hanging on the fence.

I was troublesome at noon, so I got a self-heating meal on the boat and ate it, and after a short rest, I went into the water again.

In the afternoon they searched for the deep pit created by the siphon tide, and the walls of the pit were so smooth that it was like a funnel. ….

Zhang Qixun swam in, trying to find the mouth that connected to another big lake, but found that at the bottom were several openings like mountain cracks, which were very narrow, at least he couldn't get in after shrinking his bones.

This is very ***, how did the collapsed shoulders get the fat man in the original plot?

Or is there another entrance?

Zhang Qixun squinted his eyes and looked carefully at the stone at the crack. It seems to be a little different.

I touched it with my hand, and it felt cold and slippery to the touch, obviously not as rough as a stone.

Damn, Zhang Qixun was shocked, could it be that the jade vein went straight to the bottom of the lake?

After figuring out what was going on, Zhang Qi turned around and typed a light word with a flashlight, and called the little brother down.

Pointing to the edge of the crack, he motioned for him to touch it.

The little brother felt it with his right hand, and he was also a little surprised.

Zhang Qixun pulled out the dagger, poked it on the jade vein a few times, pried off a small piece of jade, and then gestured to the little brother.

The two resurfaced, flipped onto the boat, and looked up at the sky, which was already so overcast that it seemed as if it could drip water in the next second, and it was estimated that it would rain soon.

The two of them stayed in the water for a long time today, and the oxygen cylinders were emptied several times, and seeing that the sky had become like this, there was no need to continue in the water.

"Little brother, go back." Zhang Qi searched.

The little brother nodded, took off the mask on his face, and his face was a little tired.

After all, the little brother is not iron-beaten, everyone will be tired, and the little brother just won't say it.

After rowing the boat to the shore, the two of them first moved all the things on the boat to the place where they had piled up yesterday, and then dragged the boat up and tied it up.

Eat simply at noon, and by this time the stomach is already rumbling in protest.

Zhang Qixun and the little brother looked at each other silently for a few seconds.

"I remember that Gui left us a rabbit when he left." Zhang Qixun opened his mouth, breaking the silence.

The little brother was silent and just looked at him.

Okay, Zhang Qi is looking for support, it seems that he has to show his hand today.

"Wait, I'll give you a taste of my craft today."

Zhang Qixun burned the bonfire a little more, set up an iron pot, added two pieces of hot pot base to it, and after the thick oil melted, he sprinkled a handful of chopped green onions, added a bag of sauerkraut, fried it with a shovel, and added two more

Bag pure milk, then pour water, cover the pot, and wait for the soup to boil before putting the vegetables in.

While the soup was boiling, Zhang Qixun cut the remaining rabbit meat that Ah Gui beat yesterday into slices.

In summer, when the temperature is high and the ingredients are easy to spoil, Agui uses a shovel to dig a deep hole as a temporary cellar, wraps the meat in plastic, and buries it in the soil.

In the small cellar, there were also mushrooms and wild vegetables picked by the clouds in the woods, and Zhang Ji had washed them twice with water, and then cut them and set them aside.

I also took out some meatballs, dried meat and other ingredients from the space, and put them in after the water boiled, the red oil was tumbling and bubbles, and the spicy taste made the greedy Zhang Qixun's cheeks sour.

"Little brother, it's time to eat!"

Zhang Qi turned around and shouted to the little brother who was squatting on the edge of the bone rack.

The little brother got up, walked to the river and washed his hands, and then walked back and sat down by the campfire.

Zhang Qixun handed him the bowl of meat and vegetables, "Here, let's soak in water for two days in a row, eat a hot pot to get rid of the moisture, my skills in making this are still very good."

It's not good to let him stir-fry or something, although he won't fry the scorch, but no matter how you put the seasoning, the taste is very average, and it's still not ugly.

In fact, Zhang Qixun found that the little brother still likes to eat sweet and sour things.

When he came out of the submarine tomb, he found out when the four of them stayed in the hotel, and the cup of fruit tea was so sour that Wu Xiaoxie and the fat man bared their teeth and jumped to their feet, but the little brother only moved his eyebrows, and still drank the rest without changing his face.

So today's hot pot Zhang Qixun didn't make a very spicy base, but also added spicy milk and sauerkraut.

"Eat more." Zhang Qixun smiled and scooped all the balls in the pot into the little brother's bowl with a colander.

Seeing that the little brother ate so deliciously, Zhang Qixun showed a hint of an aunt's smile on his face, and there was a strange sense of satisfaction.

Feeding from the family patriarch plan is successful, Oye!
