Hearing that there are dead people in deep water is completely different from seeing it with your own eyes.
Could it be a corpse floating in the water?
I looked up at the roof, suppressing my fear, and thought, "This man is so complete, why don't he eat the fish here?"
Judging from the style and pattern of the clothes and trousers, they must be from the 1950s and 1960s. People in the industry say that there is a prerequisite for being dry for thousands of years and wet for thousands of years, that is, absolute sealing and isolation of oxygen. The underwater environment here obviously does not meet the requirements.
With two parts fear and two parts curiosity, I quickly swam to the body.
The closer you are, the clearer you can see.
Not only was the corpse not rotten, but the veins on the back of the hands could even be faintly seen.
Dou Sprout was so courageous that he pushed it with his hand, and immediately the floating corpse turned over.
Even though I was mentally prepared, for a moment, I was so frightened that the hairs all over my body stood up!
This old lady was in her sixties or seventies when she was alive. Her facial expression was painful, her eyes were closed, her nose and mouth felt like they were made of tofu, her whole face was ridiculously white, and her skin was the color of a bag. of boneless chicken feet.
Looking directly at it from a close distance, I heard my heart pounding!
Because it has been soaked in water for many years, the flesh of the corpse felt like it would fall off at the slightest touch. Watching Dou Sprout take off the wide gold bracelet from the wrist of the corpse, I muttered in my heart: "I'm sorry, ma'am, don't blame me, we just want to Ask for a fortune."
The water temperature was very low, very cold, probably seven or eight degrees at most. If you stay there for a long time, your body will definitely not be able to bear it. After we took our things and were about to come up for air, a "weird" scene happened.
I didn't mean to scare people, everything I said is true.
At that moment, my mind was clear, but my body refused to obey me! It's like I'm drunk, my body is limp and I can't lift up any strength! Can't swim at all!
What immediately came to my mind was that this "floating corpse" was causing trouble, because we took people's things and they were unhappy and didn't want to let us go!
I took the bag of "loess" that Lao Ma gave me with me. I wanted to take it with my backhand, but found that I couldn't move my hand in the water! My whole body began to sink to the bottom of the lake.
Dou Sprout noticed my abnormality immediately. He almost pushed me from behind and swam up!
After landing on the shore, my limbs were still unable to move. They were limp and had no strength at all. Both Xiaoxuan and Brother Yu were frightened by my situation.
Dou Sprout was exhausted from trying to save me. He gasped for air and said, "Don't touch Fengzi! He's drunk! Let him lie down for a while! I'm a little dizzy too!"
I felt like I was losing strength in my limbs in the morning, but it became more serious in the afternoon. The drunkenness that Douyazai talked about was their hometown dialect. This kind of drunkenness seems to be called "nitrogen drunkenness". Everyone's body is different, and their reactions after being infected are also different. Some Some people will experience auditory and visual hallucinations underwater, and some people will experience paralysis of their limbs.
I lay there for more than 40 minutes before I recovered. I was terrified for a while. Fortunately, two people went into the water. If only one person had gone into the water, the consequences would be disastrous.
Dou Yazai held a cigarette in his mouth and said: "Fengzi, the old lady we saw just now has been dead for at least fifty years. She must have drowned under the water because of inconvenience in her legs and feet, or because her children were no longer in the family."
"Okay, okay, stop fucking talking about it, I feel terrible."
Douyazai mocked me and said: "You are so dignified, but you are still afraid of being a slut. Look at this gold bracelet, it weighs at least over a hundred grams!"
Dou Yazai tossed the gold bracelet up and down and said with a smile: "This bracelet is too wide. Let's not sell it. I think it would be suitable to give Panpan a belt next time we meet. I haven't given her anything yet."
I said speechlessly: "If Panpan knows that the bracelet you gave her is from a dead old lady, I won't break up with you."
"Haha! Fengzi, are you stupid? If I don't tell her, it's over! If you don't tell her and I don't tell, who will know! I just said I bought it from Chow Tai Sang Gold Store!"
Suddenly he asked me: "Yunfeng, have you seen the ancient city wall of Lion City underwater?"
I shook my head: "I didn't see it. I only saw a lot of old brick houses from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China. Look at the things we fished out, they are basically from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China."
"Head, the approximate location should be good. The ruins of the ancient Lion City must be in this area." I said.
He shook his head and said: "Don't be too happy, we still have to focus on finding the ancient city. These little things from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China are just appetizers and are dispensable."
Dou Sprout immediately broke up his hands to calculate and said: "Head! You can even eat a full meal with small dishes! Small things are also meat! Not counting the gold bracelets! A complete pair of blue and white bile bottles costs at least 5,000 yuan! You can probably sell these for 100,000 yuan!" There are also pastel salt shakers, plates, jars and the like that can be sold for a small 100,000 yuan in total. That’s 200,000 yuan! 200,000 yuan a day! That’s 6 million yuan a month! 70 million yuan a year. ! That’s more than 100 million in two years!”
Xiaoxuan rolled her eyes and said: "Damn Douyazai, who taught you to settle accounts like this? Can you guarantee that you will get something every day? Can you guarantee that the locals won't find out if we sell things like this? This is not your backyard. The pond, this is Qiandao Lake! It is an asset belonging to the government!"
Dou Sprout shook his head desperately. He glared at Xiaoxuan angrily and said, "I don't want to go anywhere anyway! I'm just fishing for small things here! Everything I catch is mine!"
At present, we have different opinions, whether we want immediate benefits or gamble on unknown benefits. Lion City is a thousand-year-old ancient city left over from the Tang Dynasty. Once we find it, a piece of exquisite stone carving in the city may be sold for dozens of dollars. Ten thousand.
But Douyazai's idea is not to look for the ancient city, but to fish for small things from the old houses in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China in this area of water. Each one can be sold for several thousand yuan, and a hundred of them can be worth hundreds of thousands.
I can't say that Dou Sprout's idea is wrong, but the risk of being discovered is really high. Think about it, if you are salvaging here as an adult, the news will leak out sooner or later. The leader is reminding us not to lose big because of small things.
By the way, the ancient Shicheng ruins were only officially discovered by the Sui'an Cultural Relics Bureau a few years later in 2010. It was only after the discovery that it was designated as a cultural protection unit. Does anyone have any impressions? At that time, CCtv10 broadcast live the underwater ancient city exploration program for several days. At that time, Sui'an Cultural Relics Bureau specially invited several world-class diving experts from my country's Wandao Island. As a result, they all ran away after carrying underwater cameras for a few days. It is said that the water temperature at the bottom of the lake is too low to do the job.
The fact is that those diving experts saw what I saw, which was the corpses floating in the water that looked like boneless chicken feet in the house at the bottom of the lake, and they were all scared away! Therefore, Sui'an Cultural Relics Bureau later found a local six-person diving club to continue exploring the ancient lion city, and the salary was 2,600 yuan a day. It was this member of the local diving club who discovered the underwater Wenchang Temple and Hairui Temple of the Ming Dynasty.
Later, in 2013, the Cultural Relics Bureau marked this area with a ring of several kilometers of red floats to remind passing ships that swimming and fishing were prohibited here. This was several years later.
Making a fire will inevitably produce smoke, so we didn't dare to light a fire on the island during the day. We all ate dry food with water. Bean Sprouts took a bite and said to me: "Fengzi, being drunk is a physical problem. Don't be afraid. I used to be old My uncle told me a very effective folk remedy, you just need to eat two raw chili peppers before going into the water every time to prevent it."
I said I'll give it a try.
Xiaoxuan sighed: "Hey, you said it would be great if there was an underwater navigation system, so that we don't have to look around like headless flies."
At critical moments, sometimes Xiaoxuan's words can always inspire me. When I thought about it, I clapped my hands and said, "That's right! How could we forget this! Just find a navigation guide!"
Dou Sprout's mouth was full. He puffed up his cheeks and said, "Navigator Mao, I've only heard of sonar. A set of that thing costs hundreds of thousands. It's not even on my uncle's ocean-going fishing boats. It's only on some scientific research ships." It’s equipped, don’t think about it, we won’t be able to use it even if we get it.”
"Fart sonar! No need for sonar!"
I said excitedly: "Brother Yu! Does your buddy still recognize you? We can get him to help!"
Brother Yu was stunned: "My buddy? Who are you talking about?"
