Chapter 2298

Uncle Liu covered his eyes and described that the jade Ruyi was more than thirty centimeters long! Packed in a box made of rosewood!

I searched every corner of the house and even knocked on the concrete walls one by one to see if there was any mezzanine space for hiding things! Nothing was found!

"Is it possible that the thing is not here?" I asked nervously.

"No! It must be here! The person named Yu must have hidden the keepsake somewhere where no one can rest!" Uncle Liu said firmly.

There were piles of scraps outside. When it got dark, Uncle Liu and I kept rummaging through the piles of scraps.

Bundles of waste paper shells, bags of packed cans, wine bottles, etc. We can say that this place has been turned upside down.

Uncle Liu ignored his serious eye injury. He was like a man in a daze and kept repeating: "Where is it? Where is it hidden?"

I gradually calmed down and looked around. I began to try to put myself in another person's shoes. If I were a thin old man and the place here was so big, where would I hide such an important object?

Hidden on the beam?

Dig a hole and bury things? Or....

I suddenly noticed that behind the bungalow, there was a well covered with a cement cover.

Wells are not common in Beijing, and there is no running water at the waste station. If the thin old man dug a well for his own water convenience, it is reasonable, but I just feel something is wrong!

I went over to push open the manhole cover and shined a flashlight down, only to see the water surface sparkling.

Uncle Liu came over and asked, "Do you suspect he is hiding in the water?"

I nodded: "The more unlikely a place seems, the more likely it is. If you are injured, let me go down and take a look, and give me some relief."

"Okay, be careful."

This kind of well is not difficult for me, just like climbing a ten-meter-deep thief's cave. The only thing I am not sure about is how deep the water is, because compared to Dou Sprout, my water quality is really average.

I first wrapped the flashlight in a plastic bag and tied it to my head with a rope. Then I pushed my legs on the smooth well wall and slid down little by little.

When I was three meters above the water, I took a deep breath, held it in, and jumped down with a pop.

Dou Sprout once told me that the water in the well has high buoyancy, so when diving, you must go down in one breath without stopping in the middle. I followed what Dou Sprout said and dived to the bottom of the well in one breath.

The water was very cold and the bottom of the well was dark. With the faint flashlight, I could see a "basket" at the bottom of the well.

It's that kind of plastic basket with white handles, just sinking quietly at the bottom of the well.

I swam over, grabbed the basket and lifted it, but I couldn't lift it! Only then did I realize that there was a lot of scrap iron in the basket.

When I removed the scrap metal, a long black wooden box was exposed at the bottom of the basket. Through the tarp, you could vaguely see writing on the wooden box.

Without any time to think, I took this thing and floated upwards.

"found it!"

"Uncle, look! Is this it? I found it!"

When I surfaced, I was panting and holding the sandalwood box high, very excited.

Uncle Liu immediately threw down the rope and shouted excitedly: "That's right! That's it! Tie the thing on the rope quickly!"

My whole body was soaked in the water. I wiped my face, looked up and asked loudly: "Uncle, shouldn't I go up first?"
