The next day we said goodbye to the Special Forces and returned to the city. As soon as there was a signal, I called Brother Yu as soon as possible.
"Brother Yu, why don't you come? We are all here and we are waiting for you now."
On the phone, Brother Yu said happily: "Everyone is here? That's great. I have something urgent to do. It will take about five days before I can catch up with you."
"That's it, Brother Yu, then let's just meet up in Qingdao, which is closer than you coming to Yinchuan. This will save time,"
After chatting for another two minutes, I hung up. Why do we have to go around to Qingdao to go to Qiandao Lake in Zhejiang?
To buy tools, I went to find someone in the industry to buy special equipment for digging water holes.
If a worker wants to do good, he must first do his job well. To do soil work, use a cyclone shovel, Luoyang shovel, kidnapper needle, and diamond needle. To do water work, it is completely different. In addition to cylinder diving suits, there are many tools that are used by experts in the industry. It's a secret. You can't buy it in the official market. Even if ordinary people pick it up, they don't know what it is used for.
The northern faction has the eyes and ears, and the southern faction has the backbone. Similarly, the northern faction has logistics, and the southern faction has procurement. In Qingdao, this man's surname is Ma, and his nickname is Lao Ma Tou. Because Lao Ma Tou is still working, it's not convenient to tell his real name. Anyway, he is an old buyer from the southern sect, and he had a relationship with the boss in his early years.
We drove all the way there, and when we arrived, Lao Ma Tou took us to a community behind a fish market in Qingdao. I still remember that there was a green shop at the entrance of the old community, with "Hexiang Tobacco and Liquor Department Store" printed on the sign.
Old Ma Tou is about sixty years old, with a kind face and a slightly stout figure. He looks like an ordinary retired old man. People around him would never think that he is a senior tomb robber.
"Boss Wang, how can a person like you do water work?"
He raised his head and said with a smile: "You are not a person, Lao Ma, we are all the same. While your body can still move in the past two years, do more work to earn a pension."
"You're being modest. You, Silver Fox, will be damned if you are short of pension money. I think you Northern sect just can't get enough of it. Are these young people your disciples?"
I hurriedly cupped my fists and said I had met the senior.
Old Ma Tou looked at me and said with a satisfied smile: "Wang Boss Tou, your little apprentice is quite good, he knows etiquette, he is also a jade tree, and he has a dignified appearance."
I was secretly happy. I was worthy of being a senior. You could tell at a glance that I had a good appearance. Others said that I had a popular face.
It was an eye-opener after I came in.
There are many strange tools and equipment hanging or placed on the ground and on the walls. I know most of them, and I don’t know some of them, but I know that these things are used underwater. These things are our wealth. through.
"Master Ma, why are these lobster claws so big?" I asked curiously.
"Oh, you said this. Normally you don't need it. These are large pliers used to touch the broken hatches of ancient sunken ships. You can use whatever you need. If you have money, give it to me. If you don't have it, forget it."
They were just saying polite things, so of course we had to give them money. Before we came, we specially withdrew more than 300,000 yuan in cash from Yinchuan to fund the trip to Qiandao Lake.
Xiaoxuan was playing with an object on the ground and asked me curiously: "Yunfeng, what kind of tool do you think this is?"
Xiaoxuan pointed to four stainless steel iron pipes that could be retracted. I glanced at them and told her that they were called "hard exploration squares", which were similar to the tools used by the northerners to dig holes and mark the location of underwater ancient tombs.
Douyazai also asked: "What about Fengzi, why is this flashlight like this?" After saying that, he turned on the flashlight and shined it on my face.
I grabbed it and cursed: "Don't play around if you don't understand! This is a Gatling blue cannon! It can blind people!"
The so-called Gatling Blue Cannon is a high-power blue light that is used to find porcelain and jade under water. The blue light can clearly see the porcelain and jade buried in the mud.
"What's this?"
"Guide rope."
"What about this?"
"That's the web-severing knife."
They kept asking, and I kept answering.
"Damn!" Then Douyazai said speechlessly: Fengzi, how come you know everything! I wonder if you became a traitor to the Northern Faction and secretly joined the Southern Faction! "
Look at me too.
"What kind of traitor! You are the fucking traitor! I, Xiang Yunfeng, was born as a Northern sect member! I die as a Northern sect ghost!"
There is a reason why I know so much.
I have been in contact with Luozhiguo in the past two years. Last time I almost became my godfather. I would call him to greet him during holidays. Over time, I gained a lot of knowledge from him.
There are two types of mud baskets, one with leggings and one with straps. They all have lids, and the lids will open when the rope is pulled.
Both have their own merits. The leggings type is lightweight, while the strap type has a large capacity. For example, if you use lobster claws to hold the goods underwater, you can just pull the rope and release it behind your back, and nothing will fall out no matter how you move.
We spent more than 70,000 yuan to buy lobster claws, guide ropes, hard squares, mud baskets, vaginal claws, water ghost eyes, turning dragon ropes, Gatling blue cannons, and net-breaking knives from Lao Ma Tou... ..etc.
After counting the quantity, he ordered the head: "Xiaoxuan, Yazai, you guys move the things to the car. Yunfeng, you can keep them for a while."
After Xiaoxuan and Douyazai carried their things out, they raised their heads and said directly: "Old Ma, for the sake of my old friend's sake, let me give you two pieces of self-defense."
Old Ma Tou smiled and said: "No problem, but it depends on which water area you go to, the sea or the river? The lake or the pond?"
"What? You Silver Fox still can't trust me, an old friend."
He turned his head and said the words Qiandao Lake.
The old man frowned. He took a deep breath of cigarette and exhaled: "There are countless innocent souls in that place. Anyone who is not lucky may be pulled down to be a substitute. Please wait a moment."
After a few minutes, he brought two things, a wooden box and a plastic bag.
I opened it and found six large rusty nails in the box, and a handful of yellow sand in the plastic bag.
He said to the leader with a serious face: "This bag of soil is steamed old grave soil. There are many things in the water that cannot see land soil. If you feel there is dirt in the water, just throw a handful of soil in."
"Where is this nail?" I asked.
He narrowed his eyes and whispered: "These are the nails taken from the old dragon boat. If you encounter Mao Xigua and pull your feet, then use this nail to hit its head."
"What is a hairy watermelon?"
He shook his head: "I can't say more. Anyway, there must be hairy watermelons in the deep water of Qiandao Lake. You may not be able to touch them, but you must be more careful."
I asked the boss again what the hairy watermelon was. Is it because the watermelon is damaged and has hair?
He put his head and said with a dark face: "It's not a good thing anyway, don't ask if you shouldn't ask."
Lao Ma Tou helped us arrange a place to live, and we rented a swimming pool in the city. When it got quiet at night, we went to the swimming pool with various equipment to practice. I found that Dou Sprout was extremely talented!
Xiaoxuan is still learning how to use new equipment, and Douyazai is already proficient in using lobster claws to fish things in the water.
For example, I asked Dou Sprout to blindfold him, and I threw a stone down, and then pointed out to him the approximate position. Dou Sprout jumped down with a mud basket on his back, and he could put the things in the basket and fish them out in two minutes!
At about 10 o'clock that night, we were getting familiar with the use of underwater exploration. Suddenly, there was a strong knock on the door of the swimming pool.
We stopped immediately.
We have reserved the swimming pool, and the boss will not come at night. The external door is always locked, so who knocks on the door? Definitely not the leader.
"Shh... put everything away first! Don't talk."
Not daring to go to the gate, I wiped off the water on my face, walked on tiptoes to the window, stepped on the stool and looked.
I looked down and saw a head with gleaming light, which was even brighter than a street light.
