"That's it?" Yue Guanchao chewed his teeth and said, "I don't believe what this old foreign dog said at all. Anyway, this Yin-Yang Fish Pendant is indeed real. As for what he said about finding the mirror world, that's probably a lie. Yes, it’s probably just a pretext to deceive us, to make it appear that he is not so greedy for money.”
"Anyway, there is no truth in this old foreign dog's mouth. We have to think about how we can escape with Senior Luo if we really find the Southern Song Dynasty treasure ship. What if this old foreign dog is evil and insists on letting us hide here? We will be in trouble." Yue Guanchao's worry is not unreasonable. Although Hua John has always said that he wants to find some mysterious iron scroll, in the end this is just one of them. As for other purposes, such as moving all the treasures of the Southern Song Dynasty, It must still be hidden in my stomach and not said out loud.
If they really found the treasure, how to escape would be a difficult problem. According to the current situation, the old foreign dog's equipment is much more advanced than theirs. These machine guns alone are more advanced than their bastard box. As for the diving bell, He has never even seen a life jacket or an impact drill. If there is a conflict, it is almost impossible to defeat him with brute force.
Then, the only way is to take this route wisely. It depends on how they adapt to the situation and escape from danger. In the second half of the night, the spring rain began to fall again in Dongting Lake, intermittently, sometimes heavier and sometimes smaller. It was not until the early morning when it turned blue that the wind and rain stopped completely. Gradually, the wind blew the treetops and the insects continued to chirp.
When they woke up, the Green Boat Club's gang was already carrying things. Luo Shiniang came in with a dinner plate and said: "The island is simple and there is nothing to eat here. We have prepared some ham steaks and fragrant tea. You can start with Eat something to fill your stomach so that you can work." These things are all ham, beef and mutton chops that foreigners eat, and sweet tea with sugar and milk. Although they are not appetizing, Yue Guanchao and the others don't care anymore. It's important to fill your stomach quickly.
After having a hearty meal and feeling full, several people followed Luo Shiniang out of the Golden Rat Temple. Spring rain is as precious as oil. After a night of warm wind and drizzle, the area around Yugou Island was washed clean by the rain. After the prosperous vegetation washed away the dust and ashes, it seemed as if it had been brushed with tung oil, becoming bright, oily and bright. It was better than before, the air was clear and dust-free, the breath from the mouth and nose was full of fresh grass smell, the feeling of moisture filled the clothes, the dew was damp and cold, and it hung on the clothes casually when walking around.
On Yugou Island, it is easy to see Junshan Mountain in the distance. At this time, clouds gradually spread out from the blue sky, and the red sun is hidden in it, with endless red light. Some sunlight slips out of the clouds and shines directly on the lake. Above, you can see the floating light dancing on the lake surface, emitting bright golden light.
Waterbirds fluttered on the lake surface and hid in the reeds and grass, leaving only the afterimages of birdsong. Yue Guanchao and the others descended from Yugou Mountain to the plain area, crossed the long coastline directly, and came to the vicinity of Shanggou Island.
Most of the equipment they saw last night was carried here, leaving a corner in the tent. John Hua looked at yesterday's map and let the gang members work around him.
"Here is what you call Yang Yuyan's location. Although it is only a small area on the map, according to the ratio between the map and reality, this water area is about fifteen acres of land. It is not that easy to find. I have called The barge went through the buoys and used the buoys to circle the area, so it would be easier to find them slowly." The buoys that John Hua mentioned refer to the markers on the water. Most of these things are hollow plastic balls, or The plastic pointed tube can float directly on the water surface. There is also a counterweight under the water to keep it stationary. They are connected with each other with ropes and can circle different shapes on the water surface to determine the direction.
At this moment, two barges were attacking from both sides, and had already thrown a buoy rope full of balls into the water, surrounding the submerged part of Yangyu, completely outlining the outline of the island.
When the barge returned, the buoys in the distance were shining with reflections. It could be clearly seen that the missing underwater part of Shangyou Island was directly circled. The buoy was also used to circle the position of Yangyu's Eye in the middle, as if a circle was added to the water surface. If you look at the fence from a high altitude, you will definitely be able to see the completed Yangyu picture already appearing.
After the barge docked, two foreigners stood at the port. John Hua then continued: "If we are looking for it, we can just look for it in this water area. There are probably dozens of wetsuits, but so many people go down there." It will only muddy the waters, so why not just choose two people to go down and look for things, and wait until we find the exact entrance."
"That's exactly what I mean." Seeing that Luo Shiniang didn't object, Yue Guanchao took Xu Xiake's hand and said, "Just the two of us, you stand on the boat to check the situation." After that, he entered the tent with his diving suit and put it on Wearing leather jackets, goggles, and flippers, the two of them walked out carrying oxygen bottles.
"You guys just stand on the shore and take a look at the situation. I guess there won't be any danger. Wait for our good news." Then, he and Xu Xiake got on the barge and took the boat with John Hua and the others into the circled area. In the water, seeing the gallows on the stern of the ship carrying the diving bell, Yue Guanchao probably understood that this old foreign dog still didn't trust them and would rather go under the diving bell to supervise the work underwater.
"Ni Men... turn around and let me put the oxygen bottles on your back." These foreigners were not proficient in speaking Chinese, but at least he could still communicate. He turned his back and let the foreigners put the oxygen bottles on his back. After the oxygen rushed into the scuba breathing tube, the two of them jumped off the barge and entered the water.
Then, these foreigners pulled the car-sized diving bell, opened the air-closing valve cover, and helped John Hua enter the diving bell. When he was sure he was ready, the air-closing valve cover was closed immediately, and the foreigners tied the iron chain and installed the air intake soft tube. Then he slowly released the gallows and allowed the diving bell to sink into the water under its own weight.
Yue Guanchao and Xu Xiake immediately went deep into the water. Fortunately, Song Siyuan introduced him to the use of the diving suit last night. The two of them were a little confused when using it for the first time. After half a moment, they also knew how to move forward visually in the water.
I have to say, this wetsuit is really good. When Yue Guanchao used to compete in diving in the village, he used to hold his breath. If he had more money, he could use pig urine to make a leather bag and fill it with air, so he could dive for a long time. No matter what, the feeling is not so good, and if you are not happy, you will become a dead body.
Now, with the diving goggles in this diving suit, I can clearly see the color of the surrounding water. The scuba lungs press the breath into my mouth almost at the same time, without any feeling of suffocation, and I feel hundreds of times more comfortable.
At this moment, the sun shines from the surface of the lake into the water, emitting countless bright light beams. The surrounding light spots are flowing, and only the roar of the water can be heard filling the ears.
Fish and shrimps were swimming around, aquatic plants were swaying, and debris occasionally floated overhead. Since the lake water is still transparent and clear after being washed by the rain, the surrounding visibility is pretty good. Not only can you see the barges floating on the lake, but you can also see farther. at.
The two of them looked back, and the diving bell was right behind them, only four or five meters away. Through the large window of the copper basin, they could clearly see John Hua sitting in the diving bell, holding the divided into sections. map.
