Yellow River Craftsman

Chapter 209
"What method?!"

Seeing what I said so resolutely, everyone stopped involuntarily and looked at me with questioning eyes.

I pointed to the swarm of rats fleeing desperately on the water: "Follow those rats!"

"Follow those mice? Why?" Lao Yang asked with a puzzled face.

"There is water in the tomb, which means that the tomb has been damaged, that is, there is an exit to the outside world. Now that the water is rising, the rats will definitely swim to a dry place. Believe me, those rats will take us out of the tomb! "I said.

Lao Yang was stunned for a moment: "Hearing what you said, this idea seems to work!"

"It's too late, hurry up!" I took a deep breath, dived into the water, and swam towards the group of mice.

"Xiaogu is so wise, I trust him!" Lao Yang said, and then jumped into the icy water and swam up.

The stagnant water rose quickly, and the team members jumped into the water one after another, just like dumpling.

In front is a group of rats fleeing in panic, followed by a group of panicked humans.

Those mice were squeaking and screaming on the water not far ahead. After the mice's fur was soaked in the water, they stuck to their bodies one by one, like hedgehogs, and looked very disgusting.

In the tomb, except for the sound of running water, the sound of rats, and our heavy breathing.

At this time, the group of rats had already swam to the edge of the tomb, and then they scrambled towards the wall.

I raised my wolf eyes and saw that the corner of the tomb had cracked, and there was a hole in the wall. The Yellow River water poured in. The rats squeaked and squeaked into the hole, and soon disappeared without a trace.

However, the hole is too small, only enough for us to stuff half of our heads.

The water level has risen rapidly and has reached our chins. As long as we open our mouths, a large mouthful of Yellow River water containing sediment will be poured in.At this time, the buoyancy of the water has already lifted us to a place close to the top of the tomb wall. In a short while, the water from the Yellow River will fill this tomb. At that time, this tomb will become a real water prison. Suffocate alive in the water.

As the oxygen in the tomb dwindled, I paddled my feet, trying to keep my face above the water.

Lao Yang said eagerly, "Xiaogu, what should we do? The entrance of the cave is too small, we can't get out!"

Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of gurgling, and Lao Yang poured a big mouthful of water into his mouth, which made him cough repeatedly.

Now that there was no way out, I pulled out the Sky Evil Spear with my backhand, and thrust it into the hole in the corner.I guess the wall of the tomb has been softened and swollen by the water. It only takes a little time for us to dig a bigger hole in the wall.

Tianxie's spear sank into the hole and pierced two wall bricks.

I was overjoyed and couldn't help speeding up.

The water level is rising higher and higher, our breathing is very difficult, I am completely racing against death now.

In fact, the walls of the tomb itself are not so fragile. They are all made of thick bluestone bricks. The tomb was definitely not in the water at that time.But the feudal kings at that time never dreamed that the Yellow River would keep changing its course and flooding in future generations.I don't know when, this tomb has been soaked in the water of the Yellow River. After a long period of erosion, even the thickest walls will become fragile.Inserting the Tianxie spear into the wall is similar to inserting it into tofu. Every time it is poked, it must pierce a hole.

Gollum!Gollum!
The cold water of the Yellow River poured into my ears and hit my eardrums, making a drum-like sound.

I took one last deep breath, filling my lungs with oxygen, and slowly sank underwater.

The stagnant water had already filled the entire tomb, and the team members all sank into the water, unable to breathe with their heads.

At this time, the tomb is like a large closed water tank, and we are the fish imprisoned in the water tank.

Of course, it would be fine if it was really a fish, at least it would not be suffocated to death in the water.

The team members panicked and struggled wildly in the water. The white halos of the wolf's eyes also swung back and forth in the water, making the water cloudy.

Ordinary people hold their breath in the water for one to two minutes, and more than this time will be dangerous.

In other words, our lives have entered a countdown, with only the last minute or two left.

I tried my best to dig the hole in the wall. When I was digging inside, the water of the Yellow River hit outside and pinched inside and outside. The wall collapsed very quickly, and the broken bluestone bricks kept rolling down.

There is buoyancy and resistance underwater, and it is difficult to use strength in water. If it is on land, it will not be so strenuous and time-consuming.

I can no longer feel the soreness of my arms, exhaustion has made me feel numb, my hands are just waving mechanically, and the holes and gaps on the wall are constantly expanding, half a meter, one meter, 1.5 meters...

okay!

You can go out now!
I cheered in my heart, raised my wolf eyes, turned around and flashed at the players a few times, then twisted my waist, and got into the hole in the wall first.

It was pitch black inside the hole, and I couldn't help but close my eyes.

Water from the Yellow River poured in from the outside, so the water flow inside the cave had a strong impact, like a big hand trying to push me back into the tomb.

I desperately paddled my limbs, my body was struggling against the external resistance, there seemed to be a net bag in the darkness, and we were the fish in the net bag.

After a fierce struggle, I suddenly broke through the invisible net bag and the resistance of the water flow. My whole body lightened suddenly, and I floated to the surface of the water all the time.

Just when I felt that the oxygen in my lungs was about to be exhausted, my head crashed through the water.

Out!
We have finally escaped from the tomb!

There was ecstasy in my heart, and I took in the fresh air outside.

Due to the lack of oxygen just now, there is still a cloud of Venus dancing in front of my eyes.

I shook my dizzy head, and then slowly opened my eyes, the joy of the rest of my life seemed to burst through my chest.

Immediately afterwards, one after another, one after another, heads surfaced from the water.

Lao Yang, Li Tienan, Lao Niao, Lin Wei, Han Xu, Fang Weiran...

Cao Yi? !
Why is there no sign of Cao Yi? !

I panicked, so many of us have escaped, could it be that Cao Yi failed to escape?

"Cao Yi! Cao Yi! Where are you?" Lao Yang and the others shouted loudly on the water.

It was probably afternoon outside at this time, but the sky was very dark, dark clouds pressed low on the Yellow River ancient road, and the torrential rain was pouring down. Pea-sized raindrops fell on our faces, and circles and ripples were splashed on the water.

No!

I have to go back and find her!

I took a deep breath and was about to dive back into the water when Cao Yi's head finally surfaced with a crash.

Her face was pale and her eyes were slightly closed, probably due to lack of oxygen.

I quickly swam over, stretched out my hand to support Cao Yi's back, and let her float gently on the water.

Lao Yang and the others also swam over: "How is she?"

Seeing Cao Yi's face gradually turn from pale to black, I said eagerly: "She may have choked on water, and her lungs lack oxygen!"

"No, her complexion is getting worse and worse, and she must be given artificial respiration immediately!" Lao Yang said.

I was stunned: "I... Me?"

"Nonsense! Why are you ashamed at this time!" The old bird said: "Hurry up, if you don't do it to her, then I will do it!"

Before the old bird finished speaking, my lips were already attached to Cao Yi's small mouth. While blowing on her mouth to mouth, I freed my right hand to place on her chest, and pressed her chest rhythmically.I felt a soft ball in my palm, like kneading steamed buns with dough. While kneading, I muttered silently: "Sin! Sin!"

"Cough! Cough!" Cao Yi coughed violently twice, then slowly opened his eyes: "Where am I?"

"It's okay! It's okay! We have escaped from the ancient tomb!" I patted her on the back.

At this moment, the roar of the motor came from not far away, chug chug!chug chug!
A motorized fishing boat was passing over the water more than ten meters away. Lao Yang and the others immediately stretched out their arms and waved desperately in the air: "Help! Hey! Help us!"

Hearing our cries for help, the fishing boat turned its bow and chugs over.

There were three or four fishermen on the boat, with dark skin and simple faces. With their help, we climbed onto the side of the boat one after another, exhausted and slumped on the deck.

Several fishermen looked at us curiously: "Are you swimming enthusiasts? Swimming in the Yellow River under such heavy rain? It's very dangerous to do so!"

Lao Yang revealed his identity as a policeman to them, and made up a random lie: "We came out by boat to handle the case, but our boat sank! Thank you for your help, and I will give you the Good Citizen Award later!"

I heard that there are rewards, and several fishermen were more enthusiastic about us. Some brought us clean clothes, some brought us hot water and food, and some brought us quilts to prevent us from catching cold.

Sitting in the cabin, we felt a lot warmer. Looking at the continuous rain line between the sky and the earth, recalling everything we experienced in Huangpiziling, it seemed like a nightmare.Now that the nightmare is over, we are finally back to reality.

"Captain Yang, you seem a little depressed?" The old bird took a sip of the soju and handed the bottle to Lao Yang.

Lao Yang took the wine bottle and took a big gulp: "Although we came out alive, it's a pity that we still haven't caught the keeper of the corpse, and even caused Village Chief Zhao and Li Yuwen to lose their lives!"

Cao Yi sneezed: "The keeper is such a bastard with no conscience, even if we can't catch him, God will not let him go, he will definitely be punished by God!"

Li Tienan said: "That's right, I believe that in this world, evil will not be able to defeat justice after all!"

Lao Yang sighed, and turned to look at me: "Xiao Gu, I really want to thank you this time, without your help along the way, we would not have been able to get out of the sinkhole alive!"

I smiled slightly, and gave the credit to Cao Yi: "Actually, most of the credit for being able to escape this time is due to Cao Yi. If she hadn't deciphered the code of the oracle bone script, we would not have been able to find the underground tomb." , and it is impossible to escape from the tomb! So, I suggest that after returning, Cao Yi must be awarded the best policeman award!"
