Chapter 41: Diving

"But what's wrong?" I asked softly. The first sister frowned and said, "I don't know, I always feel like something will happen, this feeling has never been before." ”

"Don't worry, you said that Mr. Xiao can hold his breath in the water for three hours, so it'll be fine." I opened my mouth with relief.

The first sister nodded and said, "Well, I also hope that I have thought about it too much, but why didn't the master send a signal for so long?" "About this signal, I asked a sister, from her mouth to know that this signal is very simple, three auspicious four fierce, which means that the bell on the rope rings three times means that there is nothing to go to the tomb, if it rings four times, it means that there is danger in the tomb, and it is not suitable to go to the tomb.

So the only thing that can be done at the moment is to wait for Xiao Hong to give a signal. Jingle bell ......! After about ten minutes, the long-awaited bell finally rang, as if shocked, all eyes were nervously staring at the swaying bell on the rope.

Jingle bell ......! After an interval of about five seconds, the bell rang a second time. Jingle bell ......!

After another five seconds, the bell rang for the third time. After another five seconds, the bell was silent, and there was no more crisp sound.

"Great, Sanshengji, you can go to the grave!" The gloomy cloud on the face of the first sister was swept away in an instant, and as soon as he spoke, more than 100 people on the riverbank were busy, preparing to go into the water to visit the tomb.

The drivers, Brother Wang and Erbao, took out the diving equipment purchased in advance, a total of four sets, and gave them to me, my sister and Liu Baye.

Originally, the fourth one was intended to be given to the dog, but Erbao said that he would follow everything together, saying that he wanted to protect Liu Baye's safety, and in the end Liu Baye could only agree.

Others may not know, but in my heart, I am like a mirror, saying that I want to protect Liu Baye closely, but in fact, it is just a high-sounding excuse, he wants to go down to see Xiao Hong.

The reason why the dog was left behind, Liu Baye also had his reasons, and only a very small number of people could really go into the water, and most of the rest still had to stay on land, so this retrieval played a key role.

People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, not to mention that these people are clearly not good people at the moment, so they naturally have to be on guard.

The dog's skills are on par with me, plus the driver Brother Wang, who can also be on their own, and there should be no major problems.

As for Xiao Liuzi, because the wound on his shoulder has not yet healed completely, he can't touch the water, so he left him behind, and with the three of them, we can ensure that our response is reliable, so that we can go into the water with peace of mind.

There were four of us on our side, and there were forty or fifty people in the Cao Gang, all of whom were equipped with diving gear, which at first glance looked like the frogman troops in the movie.

The Bai family is a gang of landlubbers, and when they hear that they are going into the water, they all have expressions of lovelessness, but under Bai Manghuo's angry cheers, there are also a few people who follow the Bai family and their sons to put on the diving equipment prepared by the Cao Gang, and the people of the Cao Gang bring one by one.

In the end, there was only the Jieling Lou family, just as I guessed, a team of more than a dozen people all planned to go into the water, and they didn't stay on the shore alone, which was obviously a rhythm that didn't leave a way back for themselves.

But I think Lou Tianci is so old, and he is a thoughtful guy, he will never make such a low-level fatal mistake, and there may be only one answer, that is, the Lou family is likely to have reached some kind of consensus with the Cao Gang in secret, as for what it is, it is unknown.

And the purpose of the Lou family's dispatch is also obvious, looking at their gloomy eyes, they know that if they go on, they will inevitably suffer.

More than 100 people, there are 60 or 70 people into the water, for a while the place where the return is lively, the same as dumplings, one by one the skin and meat are plopping and jumping in, and they are all scrambling, of course, there are ink stains here for a long time do not dare to go into the water.

"This brother of the Cao Gang, you can take care of me, and when the time comes, I will definitely report to your hall master to give you a reward, do a good job!" Bai Manhuo promised to a Cao Gang who was in charge of leading him.

Don't really say it, people die for money, birds die for food, that Cao Gang's subordinates immediately seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, patting their chests to promise, and then they didn't care that Bai Mang Huo was not ready, and pulled him and jumped into the river, and when he was close to the water, I clearly heard Bai Mang Huo scolding bitterly.

Bai Manghuo went down, and several of the Bai family's subordinates were reluctantly taken down, and now only Bai Chi was left in front of us.

"This brother, I suddenly feel a little pain in my stomach, otherwise you go down first, and I'll go for convenience." Saying this, Bai Chi was about to turn around and run back.

Do you really want to make it easier? Of course not, this thing obviously doesn't want to go into the water, that's why I said so, so I directly saw through his trick.

Before he could turn his head, I lifted my leg and kicked him in the ass, kicking him out towards the river in front of me.

"I'm grass, the old man who kicked the turtle grandson ......!" Like his Lao Tzu, he scolded and fell into the water, and the subordinate of the Cao Gang who was in charge of leading him on the side shouted in surprise,

"Young Master Bai, don't you have a stomachache and want to go, aren't you going? Then you wait for me! Then came Cao Tian, in addition to the fifty or so people who jumped into the water first, Cao Tian was followed by as many as six or seven people, including Cao Tian's son Cao Shaoqin.

There were six people behind Cao Shaoqin, these six people were not standing side by side, but in a very strange formation, if you look at it from above, this is a bit like a five-pointed star, but there is one more person in this five-pointed star.

The rest of the people are either full of flesh or fierce and vicious, and there is nothing too special about it, and at first glance they are in charge of the security work.

And among them, there was a very special figure that caught my attention, that is, the man who was sandwiched between the formation of the pentagram.

The man was wearing a black robe, the robe and hat covered his face and he couldn't see clearly, a pair of dry and white hands hung down on the sides of his body, and the blood vessels on the back of his hands were clearly visible.

From this point of view, this should be an extremely thin person, but this person's belly is slightly bulging, although it is not big, but it also shows a sharp difference from the figure, and it feels like a woman who is pregnant for ten months.

"Eighth master, let's see you below!" After that, Cao Tian and his party jumped into the river one after another. Then all the members of the Lou family jumped down after them, and no one spoke, but when they entered the water, their eyes were so cold, as if they were staring at the cold corpse.

We were the last of us to enter the water, and the moment I jumped into the river, I saw the rope with the bell sway rhythmically again, this time with what seemed to be a great urgency, only a second apart.

One time...... Two ...... Three times............ Everywhere...... My heart thumped, and I wondered if I was mistaken, or if the noise was the result of those who had gone into the water not touching the rope easily.

……………… As soon as I jumped into the water, I saw a bright red patch in front of me, and even a trace of residual flesh clinging to the diving goggles, the surroundings were turbid, and the visibility was almost zero, so I could only perceive the location of other people according to the fluctuations of the current and pursue them.

As my body continued to sink, the water began to become less turbid than before, and I could vaguely see one figure after another shaking in front of my eyes.

Although there are many people entering the water, at this time it seems to be extremely regular, one after another neatly arranged.

However, the reason is based on the rope that connects the top and the bottom of the water vertically downward. The depth of more than ten meters reached the bottom in a blink of an eye, because of the flow of water, I was also able to stabilize and even gain a firm foothold at the bottom of the river.

Although this depth is not deep, but the sunlight outside the water cannot penetrate this depth, so it is already very dark in front of you, and although the water quality is clear to the extreme, the visibility is extremely low.
