"But what's wrong?" I asked softly. The first sister frowned and said: "I don't know, I always feel like something will happen. This feeling has never happened before."
"Don't worry, you said Mr. Xiao can hold his breath in the water for three hours, so he'll be fine." I said to reassure him.
The first sister nodded and said: "Well, I also hope that I am overthinking it, but why didn't Master send a signal for so long?" Regarding this signal, I asked the first sister and learned about it from her mouth. It is very simple, three good luck and four bad luck, which means that if the bell on the rope rings three times, it means that you can go to the tomb if nothing happens. If it rings four times, it means that there is danger in the tomb and it is not suitable to go to the tomb.
So the only thing that can be done at the moment is to wait for Xiao Hong to send a signal. Jingle Bell……! About ten minutes later, the long-awaited bell finally rang. As if their minds were shocked, all eyes were nervously staring at the bell swinging on the rope.
Jingle Bell……! After an interval of about five seconds, the bell rang a second time. Jingle Bell……!
After another five seconds, the bell rang for the third time. After another five seconds, the bell became quiet and no longer made that crisp sound.
"Great, three auspicious sounds, you can go to the grave!" The sorrow on the first sister's face was swept away in an instant. As soon as he spoke, more than a hundred people on the river bank began to get busy and prepare. Visit the tomb in the water.
The drivers, Brother Wang and Erbao, took out the diving equipment they had purchased in advance. There were four sets in total, and they were given to me, Sister No. 1, and Master Liu respectively.
Originally the fourth one was intended to be given to Gouzi, but Erbao insisted on following him, saying that he wanted to personally protect Master Liu's safety. In the end, Master Liu had no choice but to agree.
Others may not know it, but I feel like Ming Jing in my heart. I said I wanted to protect Mr. Liu personally, but that was actually just a high-sounding excuse. He wanted to go see Xiao Hong.
Liu Baye also had his own reasons for keeping the dog behind. Only a very small number of people could really go into the water, and most of the rest had to stay on land, so it was very difficult to pick him up. played a crucial role.
People's hearts are separated from each other, not to mention that these people are clearly not good people at the moment, so naturally they have to be on guard.
Gouzi's skills are on par with mine, and together with the two drivers, Brother Wang, they can handle it alone, so there shouldn't be any big problems.
As for Xiao Liuzi, because the wound on his shoulder has not completely healed, he cannot touch the water, so he is also kept. With the three of them, we can ensure that our response is reliable, so that we can Get into the water with peace of mind.
There are four of us here, and forty or fifty people from the Cao Gang went into the water. They were all equipped with diving equipment. At first glance, they looked like the frogman troops in the movie.
The Bai family are all a bunch of landlubbers. When they heard that they were going to go into the water, all of them had expressions of despair. However, under Bai Manghuo's angry shouts, there were also a few who followed the Bai family and his son through the water. We boarded the diving equipment prepared by the Cao Gang, and were helped one by one by the Cao Gang's people.
In the end, only the Xielinglou family was left. Just as I had guessed, a group of more than a dozen people actually planned to go into the water, but no one was left on the shore. This was obviously a rhythm that did not leave any escape route for themselves.
But I think Lou Tianci is so old and a thoughtful guy, he will never make such a low-level fatal mistake. There may be only one answer, and that is that the Lou family may have reached an agreement with the Cao Gang secretly. Some kind of consensus, but it’s unclear what it is.
And the purpose of the entire Lou family's dispatch is also obvious. Looking at their sinister eyes, you can tell that if this continues, disaster will inevitably happen.
There were more than a hundred people, sixty or seventy people entering the water. The backflow area was very lively for a while. It felt like eating dumplings. One by one, the skinny and meaty ones were jumping in, and they were all vying for the first place. Of course, there are also ink marks here. I didn’t dare to go into the water for a long time.
"Brother of the Cao Gang, if you take good care of me, I will definitely report it to your hall master to give you a reward. Do your best!" Bai Manghuo promised to a Cao Gang member who was responsible for leading him.
Let alone talk about it, people will die for money and birds will die for food. The Cao Gang's men immediately patted their chests as if they were getting blood, and then they didn't care whether Bai Manghuo was ready or not, and pulled him He jumped into the river, and when he was near the water, I clearly heard Bai Manghuo curse bitterly.
Bai Manghuo went down, and several of the Bai family's men were also taken down reluctantly. Now the only one left in front of us is Bai Chi.
"Brother, I suddenly feel a little pain in my stomach. Why don't you go down first and I'll make it easier." As he said this, Bai Chi turned around and ran back.
Do you really want to go there for convenience? Of course not, this guy obviously didn't want to get into the water, that's why he said that, so I immediately saw through his trick.
Before he could turn his head, I raised my leg and kicked his butt hard, and kicked him out towards the river in front of me.
"What the fuck, that turtle kicked me...!" Just like him, he yelled and fell into the water. The Cao Gang man who was responsible for leading him shouted in surprise,
"Master Bai, don't you have a stomachache and need to go for a convenience? Why don't you go? Then wait for me!" Then came Cao Tian. In addition to the fifty or so people who jumped into the water first, there were also other people behind Cao Tian. There were six or seven people following him, including Cao Tian's son Cao Shaoqin.
There are six people behind Cao Shaoqin. These six people are not standing side by side, but in a very strange formation. If viewed from above, it looks a bit like a five-pointed star, but in There is one more person in this five-pointed star.
The rest of the people either had sinister faces or ferocious looks, but there was nothing special about them. At first glance, they were responsible for security work.
Among them, there was a very special figure that caught my attention, that is, the person sandwiched in the five-pointed star formation.
The man was wearing a black robe, with the robe and hood covering his face so that his appearance could not be clearly seen. A pair of dry and pale hands hung down on both sides of his body, and the blood vessels on the back of his hands were clearly visible.
From this point of view, this person should be an extremely thin person, but this person's belly is slightly bulging. Although it is not big, it shows a clear difference with his figure. It feels like a pregnant woman who is ten months pregnant. Same as women.
"Ba Ye, let's meet below!" After saying that, Cao Tian and his party jumped into the river one after another. Then all the members of the Lou family jumped in, and no one said a word, but when they entered the water, their eyes looked at us so coldly, as if they were staring at a cold corpse. .
We were the last few people to enter the water. The moment I jumped into the river, I saw the rope with the bell swinging rhythmically again. This time it seemed to be very urgent, and the interval was only one second. .
One...two...three...four...my heart skipped a beat. I don't know if I saw it wrong, or if the noise was the result of those who entered the water not easily touching the rope. .
......... As soon as I jumped into the water, my eyes were bright red, and there were even traces of residual flesh clinging to the diving goggles. The surroundings were turbid, and the visibility was almost zero. I could only sense where other people were based on the fluctuations of the water flow. location and pursue it.
As the body continued to sink, the water began to become less turbid than before, and I could vaguely see figures one after another shaking in front of my eyes.
Although there are many people entering the water, they appear to be extremely regular at this time, neatly arranged one after another.
However, the reason is based on the rope that connects vertically downwards from above to the bottom of the water. The depth of more than ten meters reached the bottom in a blink of an eye. Because of the flow of water, I could barely hold on and even managed to gain a firm foothold at the bottom of the river.
Although this depth can be said to be deep or shallow, the sunlight outside the water cannot penetrate this depth, so it is already very dark in front of you. Although the water quality is extremely clear, the visibility is extremely low. .
