Chapter 316 A Discovery

316 Chapter 316 Discovered
A few hours later, Zhang Qiling woke up. He gradually opened his eyes and found that he woke up too early. After being stunned for a moment, he lowered his head and looked at the girl in his arms. The little one was sleeping soundly.

Afraid of waking the girl up, he gently raised his free arm, supported the girl steadily and gently placed her on the mat. He laid her down with pillows, covered her with a blanket, and stood aside to watch quietly. Holding her.

Just like this, some time passed. Zhang Qiling felt that the time was almost up, so he called softly: "Girl, get up." He gently shook the little girl and called her gently.

After shaking it a few times, I opened my eyes slightly, looked at him sleepily, and then closed my eyes again.

But I suddenly realized that I had important things to do today, and I didn’t have time to stay in bed. I had to get up, so I stretched out my two small arms towards my brother and raised them high.

The little brother immediately took my arm and put it on his shoulder. My two little hands then hooked behind his neck and hugged him. He held me, who was not too big, like a baby. The giant baby suddenly picked him up.

My chin fell on his shoulder, my head tilted to his side, and I whispered to him: "Good morning, little brother."

At this time, the sun had not risen yet and it was still dark. My brother took me out of the shack to wash up. After all the troubles, I woke up and stretched out. Then I heard my brother say to me: "Go over there." ." Then he started walking towards the lake, and I followed him immediately.

Not long after, everyone got up one after another. Wu Xie woke up and saw that my brother and I were not in the shack, so he hurriedly ran out of it. The fat man was holding a toothbrush in his hand and had a mouth full of toothpaste, which scared him. He was agitated, looked at him with wide eyes, and said vaguely: "Why are you so startled so early in the morning?" After saying that, the fat man continued to brush his teeth, and after spitting out the water, he looked at Wu Xie.

Wu Xie looked around and finally saw my little brother and me by the lake in the distance, and he suddenly let out a sigh of relief.

When the fat man saw Wu Xie finally heaving a sigh of relief, he said to him, "I'm afraid they'll run away quietly. Oh, you're scaring me out of my mind by letting my little brother and the others disappear."

Wu Xie also felt a little helpless and smiled lightly, and said to the fat man: "I'll go over and take a look, and then look at the environment on the shore. I still want to make sure it's safe.

The fat man said, "Go ahead. We'll be busy soon after dinner. I'm going to find Little Yuncai." He smiled like a big kid and ran away.

Wu Xie smiled and shook his head and walked towards the lake. When I saw Wu Xie coming, I greeted him and said, "Brother Wu Xie, good morning."

Wu Xie said: "Good morning, have you two been up for a long time? You have been at the lake."

I nodded and said, "He asked me to stay here. I have been in a daze there for a long time." As I said that, I pointed my hand in the direction where the little brother was standing not far away.

Wu Xie looked around and saw that there was a layer of mist around the lake. It only disappeared when it reached the outer reaches of the lake. Everything else was no different from what he had seen before.

Yuncai and the others also got up very early, and soon breakfast was ready. After telling everyone to eat, I got up and ran to my little brother, pulling him and Wu Xie back together.

It is a very thin porridge like rice soup. You can only fill your stomach with water, but don't even think about being full when you are not hungry. It is enough even if you are not hungry.

The one who cheered the most was the fat man. He had a huge appetite and drank ten bowls of it. But this was Yuncai's food, and he found it delicious no matter what.

After eating, a few people searched the lakeside first. This time they brought dogs. The fat man teased the dogs and said, "Look for bones, look for bones. If I find bones, I will match them with bitches."

As a result, the dogs all went to the lake to drink and play, completely ignoring him.

The fat man said: "Both the bones and the queen are not attractive? I mean, girl, how did you let them help search before?"

I smiled and said, "When communicating with animals, you must first show them that you are friendly, and then tell them what you want them to do for help. Be brief and concise, otherwise they will only think that you are a monk chanting sutras, and you have to Look at their body movements, listen carefully to their calls and then analyze them carefully.”

The fat man said "Ah" and was speechless. He was stunned for a while and said: "It's too complicated. Let's make it simple."

I said: "At least you need to know what these hounds like. Maybe they just want to start a career and not a family. If you say you find them a wife, it's probably better than if you find something to give them a chicken to eat. I think they will be happier."

The fat man chuckled: "Where can I find chickens for them to eat?"

I smiled and said, "That's not easy. It's hunting. Look, I caught it yesterday."

While searching and chatting, when the sun came out, we had already circled back and it was certain that it was unlikely to be found on the shore.Wu Xie said: "It seems that we really have to go into the water to find it. The water is quite cold. When the water gets a little warmer in the afternoon, let's prepare things for going into the water as planned yesterday."

The fat man said: "The rope needs to be long. I will cut grass and weave the rope in a while."

Wu Xie nodded and said, "Me and Menyou Ping will make a small raft and find a few stones of suitable weight."

I sincerely looked at their little hands and said, "I'll help you."

Both Fatty and Wu Xie looked at me and smiled, and the younger brother said lightly: "Okay."

After that, the fat man took a sickle and cut a lot of grass, brought it back and spread it out to dry, and we selected the grass we could use.

I said: "Generally, straw ropes are made of rice straw."

The little brother said: "Well, look, you can't use this one. Choose this one that is stronger and longer."

I nodded and said, "Okay." I handed everything I picked out to Li Yue and put it aside.

The little brother took a piece of grass and said to the fat man: "Fat man, most of these are useless. Bring back more like this."

The fat man was tired and was taking a rest. Hearing the cold tone of the little brother, he hissed: "You..." Before he could say anything, I tilted my head to look at him and waved at him. A look.

Wu Xie said: "Just look for this and bring it back, which can save a lot of time."

The fat man thought it was right, so he said "yes" and said: "Yes, the leader is right, let's listen to the leader."

After the straw was sorted, Agui and Yuncai helped us weave the straw rope. Wu Xie said: "It doesn't need to be too strong, as long as it can be used to measure the depth, but it should be as long as possible."

This time I was almost done. I held up my dirty hands and said to Liyue, "Sister, I'm thirsty."

Li Yue smiled and said, "I'll wash my hands first and get you some water." I nodded in agreement.

Wu Xie and his brother went to get wooden strips and tied two small floating rafts the size of the Eight Immortals table with braided ropes. Then they found stones the size of thighs and tied them with straw ropes to make ballast.

The straw rope was braided in three lengths and was more than ten meters long. It was very rough because it had not been processed well. They also cut off the fat man's nylon bag, pulled out the nylon thread inside, made a coil, and tied a small one on it. The stone acts as a small anchor to detect depth.

After they were ready, they piled all these things on the small floating raft, then took off their pants and slowly walked into the lake.When I looked at the little brother, he was wearing a very special pair of underwear with two chicks on it...

As soon as I saw it, I remembered that Fatty and Bai Hao had gone shopping before setting off. This style of underwear looked like Fatty's masterpiece. I immediately shouted, "Fatboy, did you buy this?"

The fat man said to me mischievously: "Girl, do you understand? There are many meanings. Let me tell you one first, two chicks connected together."

I stared blankly at his little underwear and was thinking about connecting it. The cloud next to me burst out laughing and almost fainted. I suddenly understood something and said to the fat man: "Damn you, fat man." Why don’t you wear it yourself?”

The fat man couldn't help laughing and said: "Fat man, don't I suit this kind of cute style? He's not wearing it just for you to see. Do you like it or not?"

I stood there with my mouth slightly open, speechless...

Wu Xie watched everything happening with a smile. He looked at his watch and said, "It's already past two o'clock. Let's hurry up. Alas, where is Li Yue?"

Just as she was talking, Liyue changed into a swimsuit and walked over. She was wearing a light blue gradient one-piece lace skirt-style swimsuit with white three-dimensional flowers. The sheer lace lining revealed her good figure, and there were criss-cross straps on the back. The beautiful back was exposed, and there was a hint of sexiness in the elegance. It was so beautiful that the fat man couldn't help but say "Wow".

Wu Xie was also stunned. He didn't expect to see such beautiful scenery by such a weird lake. He couldn't help but lose control of his expression, and his heart skipped a beat when he saw it.

The clouds couldn't help but say: "It's so beautiful."

The little brother took advantage of this moment and took my hand and took me to the lake. He squatted by the lake and touched the water.

Li Yue said to them: "Let's go and have a look."

Wu Xie came to the lake and touched it and said, "Oh, it's cold and cold. It must be connected to the living water. If there was no sun and such a big temperature difference, we might get cramps when we go into the water."

The little brother said to me: "You wait above first.
If indeed you are found. "I nodded and agreed to him.

Li Yue and I waited above first, and they stepped into the water all the way into the lake. Wu Xie found that the color of the water under his feet soon became darker, and suddenly he felt a little guilty. The lake was not big when they caught up, and soon they were Treading water to the center of the lake.

The fat man touched the sewer and said, "The temperature is so cool. Once you go down there, all the heat will disappear."

They had to work hard to maintain their balance. The fat man wiped his face with his hands and asked, "Captain Innocent, what do you want to do first?"

Wu Xie said: "Measure the depth of the water first."

The fat man picked up the nylon thread tied with small stones and threw it into the water.The stone pulled the silk thread and kept sinking, and the silk coil kept turning in the fat man's hand.Soon, only the lines were left to be seen, and the stone had sunk deeply into darkness.

After waiting for more than a minute, the coil stopped rotating. The fat man broke the end of the thread and pulled it up bit by bit. While counting the number of turns, the fat man muttered: "One...two...three..." all the time. Counting to "33 circles..." Wu Xie took a breath after hearing the number of meters.

The fat man said: "33 meters, first mate, we have to dive more than ten stories deep."

Wu Xie said: "Damn it, why did you demote me as soon as I heard 30 meters? It's like a ten-story building, damn, I'm afraid of a ghost." Xin said, although it was similar to what he estimated, he still felt It's a bit scary. This is not necessarily the deepest place. For this kind of stone lake, the deepest place is not necessarily in the center of the lake.

Wu Xie looked at the little brother, who nodded. Wu Xie said to the fat man: "Fat man, you can watch from above for now. You are not that easy to dive because you are fat. We will try to get it done in one go without you having to come down."

Following them, they plugged their ears with mud and took a few shallow dives to adapt to the water temperature. Then they tied a straw rope tied with a big stone to their waists, took the sickle and the flashlight in a plastic bag, and the two of them He winked, took a deep breath, and when his breath reached the limit, he pushed the stone from the raft into the water. The stone slowly sank, driving them directly into the water.

Wu Xie looked up at the water. Without a diving goggle, everything was hazy. He could vaguely see the fat man's lower body and the shadow of the raft, as well as the halo of the sun on the water.

I watched them sink quickly on the shore. Liyue took me to sit on a rock and waited for them.

The little brother was head down, holding a flashlight to shine in front of him. There was absolute silence, darkness all around, and a dark abyss below.

Wu Xie could only see the little brother in front of him at this moment. He felt that the little brother was as nimble as a water bat in the water.

As it went deeper, the surrounding light dropped sharply, and the huge water pressure became stronger and stronger. Wu Xie's eardrums and chest began to feel very uncomfortable, forcing him to spit out the air in his lungs.

Soon, the little brother saw a piece of green stone under the water. The stone was deep and shallow, not flat, and there was a slope here, and he kept diving.

Wu Xie followed and soon saw the stones, which were getting clearer and clearer. But at this moment, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He felt a pressure going straight to his nose, and he wanted to inhale. , I felt like I couldn't hold my breath. I looked at my watch and saw that it had only been less than 30 seconds since I entered the water.

Wu Xie watched the little brother in front of him continue to dive, but there was no way to tell him that he was not feeling well. He looked up again and saw that the top of his head was already blurry, with only a little halo far away, and he thought to himself, Oh my God, it was like looking up at the skylight the size of a bowl in a dark 30-meter-high auditorium. I couldn't help but panic and panicked. I felt like I couldn't hold on.

So he pulled out the sickle from his waist and tried to cut the rope. However, what he didn't expect was that the water-soaked straw rope was very tough. He cut twice, but only half of the rope was broken, and the other half was not cut at all. On and on.

Wu Xie panicked immediately and reflexively told himself to take a deep breath to calm down. As a result, he choked on a mouthful of water and coughed all over.

He finally held back the water in his lungs. There was a vibration from one end of the rope, and the stone had fallen to the bottom.

He tried to steady himself and looked down. As he expected, the bottom of the water was indeed a large monotonous steep stone beach. Like the stone beach on the shore, it was full of large and small stones.However, these stones had been soaked in water for many years and were covered with a layer of water silage. However, these stones were completely "clean", which made him feel a little strange. Logically speaking, some algae and screws would grow on the stones.

The rocky beach was very steep. His "weight-bearing stone" was stuck in a few stones on the rocky beach and did not slide down the steep slope. However, there was a deep place under the rocky beach, and it seemed that he could still dive.

At this time, the light of the brother's flashlight had dimmed, like a blurry flare in the dark night.

The air in Wu Xie's lungs had been exhausted, and he began to sink to the bottom of the water. He soon lay on the bottom of the water. At this time, he felt that he could hold it in for a while.Thinking that the sense of urgency just now might be caused by the pressure of the water on his chest, he held on, lifted his "weight-bearing stone" from where it was stuck, and threw it down the slope.

The weight-bearing stone slipped down, driving him down again, and rolled down another seven or eight meters. The slope of the stone beach slowed down, and the stone stopped again.

He grabbed the rope and sank again, and wanted to lift the stone, but then he suddenly discovered that in the deep blue-gray water below the slope, a huge and blurry shadow appeared, like the head of a crocodile.

His vision under the water was very blurry, and he could only see roughly. He was a little scared, for fear that there would be water monsters in this kind of lake.

When he shined his flashlight, he saw that the shadow was actually an old-style wooden building, which collapsed in the deep ditch under his feet. There was only a rough shelf, covered with cotton-wool-like sediment.He grabbed the rope to stabilize his posture, approached the wooden building and then turned the flashlight. He saw more than one wooden building like this, and there were many crisscrossing black shadows below, and even dilapidated tile-roofed houses.Looking down the slope of the deep ditch, there are stone steps and fences, all of which are quietly sinking into the lake.

He was stunned for a moment. In front of him was an ancient village of the Yao people.
