After a sudden whirlpool appeared in the lake and sucked Lu Yao into it, the whirlpool continued for about half an hour, and the lake surface returned to calm.
The fat man looked around. Agui and his daughter were still knelt down and kowtowed. Wuxie and Xie Yuchen, whose faces were anxious and worried, and the younger brother who wanted to chase after him, stopped him with his black glasses, puzzled. Asked: "No, what are you worried about?"
Wu Xie looked at him in surprise, "Of course I'm worried about Lu Yao. They don't know what's going on down there, so why don't we just let Lu Yao go down by himself?"
The fat man couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Hey! Tamutuo, you went there, right? Were you present at the pheasant neck in the reservoir? Our road was unscathed! What are you worried about?"
The black-glasses arm rested on Zhang Qilin, "Don't worry, maybe this kid can really beat the mute Zhang now."
The fat man looked over in surprise, "Really or not? Although I have confidence in him, I don't dare to think like this."
Wuxie ignored the fat man and pulled up Agui and his daughter who were still kowtowing. "Uncle Agui, this is a natural phenomenon. Don't be afraid."
Yuncai looked at Wuxie worriedly, "Isn't it true that the mountain god is angry?"
Wu Xie smiled innocently, "It's not a mountain god. There should be a waterway below this lake that connects to another larger lake. Affected by air pressure and tides, the big lake creates suction, and the water in the small lake will be pumped into the big lake. Go, the water level in the small lake will be lowered."
Just after saying this, his innocent expression suddenly changed. Doesn't this mean that there are no traces here? The principle of siphon tide is the same as that of a flush toilet. No matter how often the siphon tide occurs, more than twenty years have passed. , no matter what was thrown in, it should have been sucked to the bottom of the lake now. In this case, it will definitely be impossible to find whether it is the body or the equipment.
Wuxie suddenly asked: "How long can you hold your breath in the water?"
Jie Yuchen looked at him with a smile, "Don't hold your breath, the equipment we brought includes diving equipment."
Wu Xie's eyes widened instantly, "Xiaohua, you are so awesome, aren't you? How did you know we need diving equipment!"
"Lu Yao gave me an equipment list before you set off, and asked us to follow you with the equipment."
The fat man asked him quietly, "Lu Yao also told you the address? You arrived half an hour later than us."
Jie Yuchen glanced at the black glasses and said, "Before leaving, Lu Yao told me that a blind man has been here before. If the blind man doesn't tell, he will be beaten until he does."
Agui and his daughter repeatedly confirmed with Wuxie that this was a normal natural phenomenon, and then went to prepare the things they needed for the night.
Xie Yuchen took over the equipment they brought, including two sets of diving suits.
"Are you ready to go down and take a look now?"
Wuxie wanted to go down and have a look, but it was already late, and Wuxie had no experience in deep diving. Fatty and Xie Yuchen teamed up to stop him. The last ones to go down were decided to be Zhang Qilin and Black Glasses.
Since the previous raft had been swept to the bottom of the lake by the whirlpool, Fatty and Wuxie used the ropes brought by Jie Yuchen to temporarily assemble a small raft. Zhang Qilin and Hei Jiamen sat on the raft and quickly reached the center of the lake.
Wu Xie was extremely worried on the shore. Finally, Jie Yuchen couldn't stand it anymore and gave him a fishing net to see if there was anything by the lake.
The two people on the raft put on their diving suits and went into the water when they reached the center of the lake.
The underwater exploration took longer than they thought. When they didn't come back for more than half an hour, Wuxie was very worried about what accident they encountered underwater.
"Tianzhen, can you sit down and take a rest? You're leaving here and I'm upset."
The fat old god was drinking tea made by Yun Cai. He couldn't understand why Wu Xie was worried. The three people going down now could be said to be the three with the highest martial arts value among them. It's not that Hua Ye's martial arts value was the highest. Low.
Jie Yuchen sat opposite the fat man and poured a cup of tea for Wuxie, "Wuxie, please sit down first. You don't need to worry about these people."
The two of them seemed as happy as if they were on vacation, and as innocently anxious as if their wife was giving birth to a baby.
But soon a figure with black glasses appeared on the lake, and the younger brother quickly followed him out of the water. Instead of getting on the raft, they fished out a few things from the water and put them on the raft.
The fat man looked at Agui. He went to the woods to find firewood. At noon, he came back early because he met Black Glasses and Xie Yuchen. They might have to live here for a long time, so firewood was definitely indispensable.
Yuncai took the hunting dogs to the woods for hunting. They had seen how powerful the hunting dogs in the village were, and they were reassured about Yuncai's safety.
They came back very quickly and there were several on the house. Something dark.
"Brother, what did you find?"
Black Glasses said with a smile while taking off his diving suit. "Oh, it's a pity that you didn't go down. It's so exciting down here."
The fat man had picked up a dark mass from the raft. It felt like there was a ball in the middle, and it looked like there were tentacles around it. It feels quite heavy to carry.
"Brother, did you bring up a corpse?"
Jie Yuchen shook his head, "It's not a corpse, it doesn't smell rancid."
The fat man pulled off the water plants stuck around the ball and discovered that it was an old-fashioned cowhide bag that had been soaked and rotted. However, the quality is pretty good, and despite being so virtuous, it has not leaked yet.
"If you don't say that the quality of the previous things was good, look at how rotten it is. It doesn't even leak."
The outermost layer has been torn, and it breaks into pieces when touched. Judging from the size, it must have been used to carry large luggage.
"There is a village down there." Black Glasses picked up other things on the house. "There is a layer of fence outside the stockade, and there are many things hanging on it. There are rifles, leather bags, tents, etc. This bag was fished by the mute. I fished these two."
What was fished out from the glasses was an old-fashioned diving helmet and a small official document.
"Holy shit!" Fatty looked at the two of them in shock. "There really is a fucking village down here? So...so I...did I guess right what I said before?"
His black glasses turned white. "That's right! There is a stockade down there, but the houses in that stockade are all piled up with silt, leaving only empty shells. Where can people live there?"
Wu Xie asked him, "Have you seen the body?"
Black Glasses recalled the situation underwater, "Well, it seems that no body was found in the location I went to. Mute, did you find it?"
Qilin said nothing and just shook his head. "No complete body was found, but there were bones."
Wu Xie nodded. "The guns you found on the fence should be the guns and equipment that Panma and his friends sank into the lake after they killed people. They were sucked to the bottom of the lake due to the siphon tide."
