[Tomb Raiders Notes Sand Sea] Into the Red Dust

Explanation.

Gu Ran looked helpless, and wanted to scold Wu Xie for having no common sense, so he almost blurted out the words, but seeing people in such a mess, he decided not to make things worse.

"Gu Xiaoran, what did you find after you went down for so long?" the fat man asked.

Gu Ran said: "There is a village at the bottom of the lake. I swam in and took a look. It was basically soaked to pieces, but there were still traces of life. It means that people should have lived there for a long time before the village was flooded."

For a while, I really couldn't figure out why the village sank to the bottom of the water, and what it had to do with Chen Wenjin's archaeology. On the contrary, the things Zhang Qiling salvaged were more valuable.

After opening the cowhide bag, hook out all the things inside, there are two hairpins, a Mao|chairman|chairman badge, a wooden mirror frame, a Pechoin cream, and a tea canister.

The tea canister made a shaking sound and was very heavy. Something should have been stored inside.The tea pot was rusted to death, and the fat man took it apart with a sickle, and poured out a black thing, which was a small piece of iron.

Different from the one found under the coffin, the surface of this piece of iron is much smoother, and the patterns on it are clearly discernible.From this point of view, Zhang Qiling's box of iron blocks should have been treated with sulfuric acid, but for some reason, the iron was not completely corroded.

Back on the shore, Wu Xie asked Agui about the legend of the underwater village, but Agui knew nothing about it. Even the old people in the village seldom mentioned this lake, although everyone knew that there was such a place, as if It's like being deliberately ignored.

According to Wu Xie's analysis, the fence of the underwater village is equivalent to a layer of filter screen, so that many valuable things will not be sucked to the deepest part due to the siphon effect, but will gather in the fence and village, so you only need to search After a circle, if you find nothing in the village, you can basically declare failure.

Judging from the current situation, if you want to search the village completely, you need professional equipment, and unarmed diving is really too reluctant.Transporting equipment is a big project, and scuba is not necessarily a necessity, but oxygen cylinders are definitely necessary, which can save a lot of manpower and material resources, but even so, they also need time to adjust equipment.

To save time, it is better to split up, one group of people go out to adjust the equipment, and the other group of people will do the salvage work first, fish out the closest ones first, and see if there is anything found.

Zhang Qiling definitely cannot be expected to go out to adjust equipment, and the fat man's connections are all in Beijing, only Gu Ran and Wu Xie are convenient.It's just that the fat man is impatient. Gu Ran's diving skills are much better than Wu Xie's, and one more person can salvage them faster, so the fat man suggested that Wu Xie go out to get equipment, and the three of them stay.

This is indeed the most reasonable allocation. Adjusting equipment is nothing more than a phone call. There is no danger, and there is no need for two people to go together. Gu Ran also wanted to let Wu Xie act independently, so he agreed to this division of labor.

Before it was dark, Gu Ran and the others went into the water to salvage it twice. Wu Xie was paralyzed and rested on the shore.There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Agui took Wu Xie to leave Yangjiao Mountain.

In the next few days, Gu Ran and the three of them had a lackluster experience, only repeating one thing to salvage.With Wu Xie going out to adjust the equipment, Gu Ran is not in a hurry to see the whole picture of the underwater Yaozhai. He only waits for Wu Xie to come back and have an oxygen cylinder before acting calmly.

They went down to the lake in several different directions, and within a few days, they salvaged a lot. They also found the corpses from that year.

The corpses that could be found were not salvaged one after another, and all the corpses did not have a right hand.What's more, it seems that their right hands were not chopped off, but fell off naturally, and the joints were well preserved.

Zhang Qiling didn't say a word, and the fat man couldn't think of a reason: "Gu Xiaoran, come to give an analysis?"

Gu Ran smiled wryly, he is not omniscient, he can only think of what to say, "In Pan Ma's narration, there is no missing right hand, so it should have happened after the corpse was thrown, and it should be a long time before the corpse was thrown. Otherwise, due to the influence of the tide, it is impossible for the person handling the right hand to complete it in a short period of time without alarming the hunters in the village.

Another point is that the joints of the right hand are worn to the same extent as the bones of the body, so the exposure time should be similar.I have a speculation that after Pan Ma threw his body back then, the group of killers who did not arrive may have done this thing, or it may be done by someone following Pan Ma.

There are two possibilities. One is that there is something wrong with the right hands of these people. I think this possibility is unlikely, because most of the archaeological team are ordinary people.Another possibility is that after the archaeological team went down to the tomb, something changed, so that their right hands needed to be disposed of to bury the secret.But for some reason, when we saw Chen Wenjin, her right hand was normal. "

Fatty couldn't give an answer to things that Gu Ran couldn't figure out, and Zhang Qiling was even dumb throughout.

Putting aside the matter of the corpse, the fat man is so clever, he just propped up the skeleton, and then dressed up armed with a scrap|rifle|gun or something. It looks quite scary from a distance.

According to the fat man, if someone plots evil here, at least these skeletons can give them a drink first.

During the salvage, the fat man brought up a set of professional diving equipment. Although it has been soaked in the water for so many years, there are still some usable things. At least the helmet is usable. The sealed air can extend the diving time to a great extent.

The fat man is very proud of his discovery. The extended diving time is enough for him to enter the underwater Yaozhai. Maybe he can find the missing right hand or the iron block Chen Wenjin salvaged in it.But the helmet is old-fashioned, too heavy, and it is prone to problems when floating, so Agui was asked to pull the rope, and the fat man was pulled up in four and a half minutes, half a minute of floating time.

Four and a half minutes is a long time for divers, but for people on the shore, it is almost fleeting. After Gu Ran and Zhang Qiling rested on the shore for a while, four and a half minutes passed.

The fat man didn't come up, Agui pulled a rope, and an empty helmet was tied to the end of the rope.

"A few bosses, they are gone! I will have a helmet when I pull it up in time, fat boss, he, he, he, he is gone!" Agui stuttered in fear, something happened in the mountains, he is They have to be responsible, their village is so big, and it has been rumored that they have had a bad reputation for a lifetime.

The helmet has buckles, and there is no sign of damage. It was obviously taken off by humans. Gu Ran thought for a moment that the fat man might have discovered something, but the large size of the helmet might get in the way.

But when you think about it carefully, it's wrong. The time for the fat man to hold his breath underwater is limited. Even if he finds out, he can't take risks.

The most likely explanation is that something happened to the fat man, but who else in the water can remove his helmet except himself?

Gu Ran couldn't figure it out.

In any case, it would be dangerous for Fatty not to come up for half a day, so he had to go and see.

Gu Ran and Zhang Qiling looked at each other, the latter took the helmet and put it on without saying a word, and asked Agui to pull the rope.

"If you come across a place where you need to untie your helmet to go in, you must come up and say so." Gu Ranqian urged, and Zhang Qiling agreed.

Letting Zhang Qiling go down is the best choice, he is better than Gu Ran, and he can still deal with any unexpected situation underwater.

And Gu Ran is more suitable to be the queen of the palace, it is best if Zhang Qiling fishes the fat man up, in case something happens to Zhang Qiling under the water, then Gu Ran needs to make a decision, whether he should go down too, or send someone to rescue him.Obviously, Zhang Qiling couldn't do this kind of thing.

Gu Ran stayed on the raft with Agui, his eyes fixed on the lake water, although he couldn't see Zhang Qiling in the depths of the water at all.

The worst happened. After 5 minutes, Agui felt the same feeling again, and Zhang Qiling on the other side of the rope disappeared, leaving only a diving helmet intact.

Agui was almost frightened into a fool, and the two bosses disappeared into the lake, and he cost two lives.

Gu Ran took a deep breath and reminded himself to stay calm, even if the fat man was an impatient person who found something and took off his helmet, Zhang Qiling was not, especially since he had told Zhang Qiling before he went into the water.

Then the only possibility left is that something happened to them underwater, and someone took off their helmets.

This is a very outrageous thing, even if Zhang Qiling's skill is underwater, it can definitely be said to be one of the best, it is almost impossible to get caught without any movement.

Gu Ran carefully observed the rope, and it moved very smoothly without any signs of vibration, which showed that Zhang Qiling did not fight with people underwater and moved quickly.

"Boss, boss, what should I do now?" Agui was very frightened.

Gu Ran rubbed his temples and said, "Go back to the shore first." He pinched his fingers, Zhang Qiling and Fatty were still alive, but he couldn't feel the specific situation at all.

There was paper and pen in the backpack on the shore. Gu Ran wrote down a series of phone numbers, then briefly wrote down the situation they encountered, and handed it to Agui: "It is very likely that something happened to them underwater, I have to go and see Look, if there is no air, they will die in less than 10 minutes. If I come up, this note will be treated as if I didn’t write it. If I don’t come up, it will take a week or two at most. When Boss Wu comes back, you will Just give him the note and ask him to call the above number and tell us the situation."

Agui was terrified: "Boss Gu, why don't you wait for Boss Wu to come back..."
