Chapter 377: Nine Curved Gates
Early the next morning, Guo Kai came early and knocked on the door, saying that the six teams behind had come and had gone to the river.
Hearing this, I simply cleaned up and went out with Huang Jiu on my back.
Hu Hai: They had already gone out and left us a car.
By the time we reached the ruins of the village, thirty or forty people had gathered on the shore, and they were well prepared compared to us, and some of them had brought diving equipment.
It's already being discussed, ready to go into the water.
On the ruins, some people also followed our example and dug up the bones of villagers for observation.
I have to say that there are many people and many ideas.
Zhang Ziran came over and asked me, "What are our plans?" ”
I said, "Just stand and watch." ”
Chen Qun said angrily: "Look at people, it's an oxygen tank and a diving suit, we don't have a fart, and you are such an iron rooster, it is really eight lifetimes of blood mold." ”
I deliberately disgusted him and asked, "Did you pay for these things?" ”
Guo Kai asked: "Didn't you say last night that you wanted to seize the opportunity, your first opportunity was to stand and watch?" ”
Yesterday I did want to be half a step ahead, but I made things simpler.
I had some excuses, so I simply shut up and didn't bother with them.
Seeing that I didn't speak, the three of them were angry, but they couldn't help me.
In fact, it was not just our team that watched from the shore.
There are only two waves of people who really have action and want to go into the water.
After a while, they changed into wetsuits, tied safety ropes around their waists, and the four "frogmen" slipped into the water.
At the beginning, the people on the shore were talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was relaxed.
But as the rope on the shore became longer and longer, the expressions of the four "frogman" teammates became solemn.
I ran over and took a look, and the ruler on the rope showed that it had been released for more than thirty meters.
"What's going on? Is the water that deep here? Someone asked.
Some people who were watching like us muttered: "The water is calm here, and the wind and waves are not big, so it is impossible to wash people away." ”
It was also suggested that two squads should pull people up first.
But one of the two captains said, "The oxygen cylinder will last forty-five minutes, and if they want to come up, they will send us a signal." ”
Hearing this, the surroundings fell silent again.
After a while, the rope was seventy meters tall.
At this depth, professional divers are a little dangerous.
What's more, those four "frogmen" are not professional.
The two captains were also a little nervous, and kept looking at the river.
But the river was so muddy that nothing could be seen.
Seeing that there was only more than ten meters of rope left, one of the captains said: "Stop, reel in the rope above." ”
The other captain hesitated for a moment, and then ordered the rope to be retracted.
However, with this pull, the face of the person in charge of releasing the rope changed suddenly.
Several people pulled hard again, and one of them shouted, "Something is wrong, the rope can't be pulled." ”
Before he finished speaking, the taut rope suddenly slipped into the river, and the force was so great that the skin of the palms of the several people pulling the rope was worn off, and the blood was drenched.
Seeing this, the onlookers hurriedly rushed up to help pull the rope.
For a while, there were eight or nine people behind each rope, and only then did they pull the sinking rope.
I also went up to help, and when I got my hands up, it felt like I was dragging a thousand pounds of weight underneath.
Seeing that the rope was steady, the two captains hurriedly said: "Everyone listen to the slogan and work together." ”
Now, no one thinks about why the four people under the water have become so heavy, and only thinks about pulling the people ashore as soon as possible.
The two captains shouted one or two, everyone worked together, and the rope was finally pulled out little by little.
The rope was pulled back forty or fifty meters, and when the people below were about to come out of the water, a strange wave suddenly arose on the surface of the river, as if there was a behemoth stirring under the water, and white waves rolled for a while.
After the waves, a whirlpool with a diameter of more than two meters appeared in the middle of the river.
Suddenly, the whirlpool seemed to be blocked, and under the recoil, a column of water rose into the sky.
As soon as everyone's hands were loosened, many people couldn't hold it steady and sat on the ground, with a butt of yellow mud.
I'm okay, the person is already behind, and with little strength, I stabilized my body at the first time.
The column of water in the river seemed to have rushed out of something, flew more than ten meters high, and smashed heavily on the shore.
When the thing landed, I looked at it for the first time, and immediately gasped.
Thrown ashore by the water column were the four "frogmen" who had just entered the water.
It's just that now only the body remains, and the head is missing.
Moreover, the flesh and blood of the broken wound were white, which showed that the four people had been dead for a long time, the blood had run out, and the wounds had been washed for a long time.
For a while, there was a gasp of cold air, exclamations continued, and the shore became a mess.
This kind of scene is a bit beyond my expectations.
Unexpectedly, on the first day, four people died.
When something happened to the team members, the faces of the two captains became more and more gloomy, and one of them turned around and scolded: "You waste, except for standing and watching, you are not bullshit." ”
Everyone helped just now, but now they are very unhappy to be scolded like this.
But when they saw that they had broken people, no one replied.
The scolding captain sprayed around, looked at the river with a gloomy face and said, "Lao Tzu wants to see if there is a dragon king or an old turtle under this water." ”
He said as he took off his shirt, revealing the tattoo on his back.
At first glance, it looks like a tattooed dragon, but on closer inspection, it is found that it is two lifelike dragons playing in the water.
Huang Jiu said in a low voice: "This is a person from Jiuqumen, who lives on the edge of the Yellow River, has excellent water quality, and he also has a tattoo on his back. ”
Zhang Ziran snorted coldly and said, "What's the origin? It's just a small trick to carve insects! ”
Zhang Ziran's attitude is a little more correct, but he still finds fault everywhere, but he provoked the wrong person this time.
As soon as Huang Jiu heard this, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Zhang Ziran said that the dragon playing in the water of Jiuqumen is a small skill ...... carving insects."
"You ......" Zhang Ziran was so angry that his face turned pale.
Fortunately, our position was far behind, and the sound of the river crashing on the bank overshadowed Huang Jiu's voice.
When a few people around him heard it, they looked sideways and saw that it was Zhang Ziran, and they didn't dare to say anything.
Huang Jiu grinned, looked at Zhang Ziran and asked, "If you have anything else to say, I'll convey it to you." ”
"Whew!" Zhang Ziran exhaled deeply, and twisted his head to the side in anger.
Huang Jiu proudly stretched out his paws and made a "yes".
After the captain of Jiuqumen took off his shirt, he took the short knife handed by his companion and put it in his mouth, and jumped into the Yellow River.
As soon as he entered the water, the two dragons tattooed on his body seemed to come to life.
A faint light emerged, blocking out the waves that were pushing in.
The captain of the Jiuqu Gate took a deep breath and plunged headlong into the water, and his figure quickly disappeared into the rolling yellow water.
The river, once again, fell into calm.
But this calm only lasted for a few minutes, and the whirlpool from earlier reappeared.
In the next second, the captain of the Nine Qu Gate emerged from the whirlpool, but he took a deep breath and immediately turned back into the water.
It looked like he was wrestling with something.
