Zheng Haizhu adjusted her breathing as much as possible, slid her arms, and swam toward the stone wall on the left front.
After a few freestyle arm swings, she got close to the rock.
Then, she relaxed her legs as much as possible, stepped slowly on the sea water, and stuck her whole head out of the sea.
She wiped the cold water from her face and examined the stone wall carefully.
The further you swim towards the recessed area of the rock wall, the salty smell of water, algae and dead shells becomes heavier, filling the surrounding air.
But this extremely unpleasant olfactory experience was quickly overwhelmed by surprise.
Zheng Haizhu saw a three-foot-square hole in the rock next to a groove, close to the waterline, but with very irregular edges.
that's it!
In her previous life, she was hired by the crew as a temporary worker for 500 yuan, and she went into the sea water to act as a stand-in for the female lead.
As a result, the filming of the scene was still not smooth. The agent of the most popular young boy was not satisfied with the poor image of the young boy on camera and kept putting pressure on the director.
Zheng Haizhu was not stupid enough to soak in the water and watch them quarrel. Instead, she swam around the rock wall and found a rock where her rickety back could rest her butt. She jumped out of the water and sat on the edge of the rock to rest and keep her posture. physical strength. She didn't want to, but when she looked back, she was shocked to realize that there was a cave behind her "throne". It was estimated to be three or four meters deep, and she could see the bottom at a glance. But the strange thing was that the cave wall seemed to be quite smooth, as if it had been dug and polished manually. Mark of.
At that time, Zheng Haizhu guessed that this was not the place where ancient people placed coffins, right?
After filming, Zheng Haizhu's curiosity as an 18th-line screenwriter prompted Zheng Haizhu to inquire about it in the fishing village. Finally, an 80-year-old man told her that the cave was said to have been the treasure trove of the great pirate Wang Zhi during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, the Manchu navy dug out the contents of the cave, and Daishan Only the locals knew that there was a cornucopia at their doorstep.
But at this moment, the scene in front of him and the scene in Zheng Haizhu's memory were by no means simply overlapping.
The cave five hundred years later, in this time and space, is sealed by two stone slabs!
Zheng Haizhu felt that her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as if it drowned out the slow roar of the waves.
She tried hard to suppress her excitement. She pushed hard with her soles, slightly raised her upper body in the water, raised her arms to climb on a less sharp stone wall, and slowly formed a monkey-like posture of hanging from a branch, supporting most of her body weight, and then Tilt your right shoulder and explore the slab with your right hand.
Zheng Haizhu quickly determined that this could never be a naturally stuck reef.
The edges of the two stone slabs, which are mostly immersed in the sea water, have five or six bulges spaced apart. Even while groping in the water, she could feel the gaps between the bumps and the stone slabs.
They are obviously artificially carved hinges, so these two stone slabs are the doors of the cave!
Zheng Haizhu's morale was greatly boosted. He pushed a handful of rocks with his left hand, moved his body with the reaction force, and grabbed the upper edge of the stone door with his right hand.
She now somewhat understood the concealment here.
When the sea water is relatively low in the morning, only about one-third of the stone gate will be exposed. However, due to the position of the stone wall, there is backlight from morning to afternoon. If people are farther away, the stone gate will look dark and eerie. A piece of it that blends seamlessly with the surrounding rocks.
Only when the sun is completely westward will the sunlight shine on the stone walls where the two door panels are located. However, at that time, the tide rises and the seawater submerges them, so no one can see them.
After the pirate Wang Zhi died in a trap by the imperial court during the Jiajing period, the Ming Dynasty still maintained a maritime ban for eight or nine years. Although the Longqing switch was later established, Daishan Island remained deserted until a few years ago when Yan Siqi occupied the island and immigrated to dry salt and reclaim wasteland.
However, Yan Siqi's large ships are all parked in other bays of Daishan Island. Even if the scattered fishing boats passing by the island, they will be disturbed by the light and tide. In addition, they are covered by seaweed and shells. Therefore, no one has discovered these two symmetrical stone slabs so far. Door.
While Zheng Haizhu was complacent about the deduction of his God's perspective, he put his nose against the stone door and widened his eyes to try to discern what was going on in the cave behind the gap.
Suddenly, she felt that the sea water that had always been shaking her body seemed to change its direction.
The sudden pushing sensation on her back made her immediately alert.
Just as he was about to turn around and take a look, he heard someone shouting from above his head: "Azhu, climb up the rock, quickly!"
That was Yan Siqi's voice.
Before Zheng Haizhu could fully react, there was a "pop" behind him, and in the middle of the flying snow-white waves was the tall and burly figure.
Yan Siqi jumped down.
Zheng Haizhu's face was covered with seawater, and her vision blurred for a moment. At the same time, her lower body immersed in seawater was clearly swept by something heavily, causing her to let go in an instant and was completely knocked into the sea from the stone door.
The rhythm of treading water was interrupted, and she sank quickly, but people who knew how to swim had muscle memory, and after a few breaths, her hands began to move instinctively.
As she rushed to the sea, she saw a horrifying scene: behind the water curtain full of bubbles and tiny seaweed, a huge spindle-shaped gray shadow was approaching like a slowed-down torpedo.
shark!
A sense of fear as sharp as a cone tightened in his mind. When Zheng Haizhu emerged from the water to breathe in oxygen, he was briefly dazed.
However, soon, Yan Siqi's broad back appeared in front of her.
"Don't be afraid, climb back up the rock!"
Yan Siqi issued a brief but clear command for the second time, but he didn't even have time to turn around and directly raised the sharp blade in his hand.
Zheng Haizhu's mind was still frozen, but her brain's remaining reaction ability allowed her to turn around and paddle hard after hearing Yan Siqi's shout.
Like a divine help when a person is escaping, Zheng Haizhu swam back, kicked her legs in the water, and climbed onto a rock wall with her left hand that was higher than the small reef she had just used to explore the cave. She had never learned rock climbing before, and she used her two arms without any instructions. The head muscles and gluteus maximus exerted force, and with a twist and lift, the right leg went up, and the heel hooked into the groove of the rock. With a loud roar of "ah", the whole body finally jumped out like climbing over a wall. On the sea surface, it fell on the rocks.
She hugged the cold stone tightly with both hands and gasped for air. The violent fear and sudden feeling of exhaustion made her unable to move any more.
She could only lie on the surface of the stone like a toad and look back at the sea.
In the blue sea water, there are a few clusters of deep red like a paintbrush washing ink.
Half of Yan Siqi's body was still standing prominently on the water, and the sharp knife in his hand shone with a dazzling cold light in the sun.
In front of him was the outline of a shark surrounded by blood. Soon, the outline was blurred and became clear. The water was noisy. The furious shark used its strong back neck muscles to raise its head and opened its jaws to Extremely sharp, white teeth that were as dazzling as the blade bit Yan Siqi's head.
Yan Siqi's figure was not messy at all. He faced the huge mouth and raised the knife with his left hand. When the fish's mouth was approaching, he suddenly jumped sideways and stabbed the shark's most sensitive organ - the nose.
As the tip of the knife penetrated, Yan Siqi's right hand accurately inserted into the shark's left cheek.
