He went downstairs to find a small restaurant and ordered two dishes. Cheng Yu's stomach was already growling with hunger since he hadn't eaten a grain of rice since last night's dinner.
While waiting for the food, Cheng Yu called Du Xiaoyu. Du Xiaoyu probably didn't have much going on there. Cheng Yu first told her that he had just caught up on his sleep in the morning, and then asked about Chu Chu's situation.
Finally, when the waiter in the store came to serve the food, he told Du Xiaoyu,
She had something to do and needed to go on a business trip for a few days. Du Xiaoyu didn't ask too many questions, as she always did. Cheng Yu only needed to make things clear to her. She would never ask questions like other people's family members. She just simply told Cheng Yu
Yu paid extra attention when he went out and hung up the phone.
Words. After quickly filling his five internal organs, Cheng Yu returned to the guest room in Taohuayuan and made some simple preparations. Cheng Yu was too lazy to wear protective clothing. Although there was running water in the culvert, he did not wear protective clothing.
No doubt it will be done
His body was soaked, but if it was inconvenient to move in protective clothing, he could only simply bring a change of clothes and get ready to go. He was wearing the same set of dirty clothes from yesterday, and his bag contained a change of clothes.
, Cheng Yu once again filled in the latitude and longitude coordinates of the culvert into the dialog box, not forgetting to set the distance from the ground. Cheng Yu finally clicked Confirm.
Button. In fact, before going there, Cheng Yu once thought about whether to go to Mong Street first and ask Peter Li to take the Barrett and take it directly to Nensi Township. However, after thinking about it, he probably wouldn't be able to do it tonight.
The same thing happened in the past with firearms
It didn't help. Moreover, he also hoped that Peter Li could find him a shoulder-mounted rocket launcher, but there was not enough time today, so he obviously didn't have time to wait there, so he gave up.
Taking one step forward, Cheng Yu felt as if his legs were submerged in the not-too-turbulent water.
It was pitch black in front of him. It was obvious that he was already standing in the culvert, but there was some light behind him. It was obvious that he came with his back to the entrance of the ditch this time. He was carrying a backpack on his back, which contained a change of clothes. Cheng Yu came from
He took out the flashlight he had prepared in his pocket, turned around and carefully looked outside the culvert, and confirmed that there was no one near the ditch above.
, then he turned on the flashlight and shined a light on both sides of the culvert. After taking a look, Cheng Yu couldn't help but secretly regretted it. If he could have turned on the flashlight earlier and looked at the surrounding environment when he went into the culvert twice before, he said
Maybe I have long thought that the secret treasure room might be here.
In the culvert.
This culvert was covered with slippery siltation for many years, and the walls on both sides were slippery. But under the light of the flashlight, Cheng Yu could clearly see that the walls on both sides of the culvert were made of stones.
Cheng Yu had also briefly observed the walls on both sides of the culvert before, but because they were already covered with various attachments and thick moss, Cheng Yu couldn't see any clues. And it was at the mouth of the canal.
. Now in the depths of the culvert, Cheng Yu knew at a glance that the walls of the culvert were made of stones. This almost meant that the culvert was already its current size when it was built, rather than being expanded year after year as he had previously thought.
Yes, on the contrary, the ditch above may have become much wider due to years of erosion. At that time, Cheng Yu had a preconceived idea precisely because the width of the ditch on the map did not match the width of the ditch he saw.
impression, think dark
The width and height of the canal were also expanded later. The walls are uneven. If they were not covered with moss, they would even be scratchy in some places. These stones have not been leveled, but are simply built into walls.
Shape, I don’t know what material to use
The adhesive made it look like a wall. Cheng Yu was quite impressed by the wisdom of the ancients. The city walls hundreds or even thousands of years ago are still standing, and the walls of the canal built here four hundred years ago are still strong and
Not because of the age and water flow
It collapsed due to constant erosion and erosion. This is simply one of the miracles in the history of architecture. Compared with the buildings today, various problems and accidents occur at every turn, just like paper. If we are still in the era of cold weapons,
The Great Wall, which has gone through ups and downs for more than 2,000 years, may still be able to resist foreign invasion, but what about the high-rise buildings built by modern humans with various technologies?
?Can it survive two hundred years?
With no time to think, Cheng Yu raised the flashlight and looked above his head.
As expected, the top of the head, like the walls, is made of stones of different sizes. There are even some small plants that can grow without sunlight, but they are still strong after four hundred years.
Under the light of the flashlight, Cheng Yu walked forward cautiously step by step.
The reason for being so cautious is, firstly, because we need to look for any possible entrance, and secondly, because our feet are so slippery that if we don't pay attention, we can fall down.
After walking forward for about twenty meters, Cheng Yu estimated that he had reached the depths of the woods on the other side of the dirt road, but he could not see anything that looked like the entrance to the secret room.
The front has become narrower and narrower, but fortunately the height is still about two meters. The water in the culvert has gradually reached Cheng Yu's waist, and Cheng Yu can't help but start to doubt his own judgment.
He put his backpack on his head and walked forward. It was obvious that the culvert was getting narrower and the water in the canal would soon rise to his chest. Cheng Yu didn't want to get all his clothes wet.
One hand was holding the backpack above his head, and the other hand was holding on to the wall as he groped back and forth. Cheng Yu had already bitten the flashlight in his mouth. The feeling was really unpleasant.
After walking a few meters further, Cheng Yu suddenly heard that the sound of running water around him became a little strange, as if it was hollow, like the sound of water suddenly falling from a height and hitting the pool below. He leaned his body against the wall of the canal.
Cheng Yu took the flashlight from his mouth and shined it back and forth. He saw that about five or six meters in front of him, the water in the culvert seemed to be divided into two streams. The large stream on the right was still calm.
While flowing forward slowly, the other stream on the left became obviously turbulent, and the hollow sound seemed to be coming from the turbulent side.
Cheng Yu tried to shine the flashlight's beam in the direction of the rapids on the left, but could not see anything. When the beam shone upward, Cheng Yu directly saw a wall. It was impossible for the water flow to hit the wall directly. Cheng Yu knew very well that this
At one point, he slowly moved the flashlight beam downward to the surface of the flowing water. He clearly saw that near the wall, the water flow was like a waterfall.
Then it fell, because the space below was even tighter and formed a barrier with the original culvert space, which caused the sound of falling water to echo, so it sounded a bit hollow. Sticking to the wall, Cheng Yu slowly
Moving towards the left side of the turbulent water, he became more and more careful with his steps, because the water here had already made his body clearly feel the force of the impact. If he was not careful, he might be hit.
The water flowed down.
But after all, his feet were too slippery. Even though Cheng Yu was careful enough, he almost fell.
In his eagerness, Cheng Yu ignored the backpack on his head and waved his other hand in the air, trying to maintain the balance of his body. His fingertips seemed to hit something, Cheng Yu grabbed it, and placed it right in front of Cheng Yu's head, like a
Cheng Yu held the handle-like thing tightly in his hand. The backpack on his head fell off, and Cheng Yu hurriedly held it with his hand.
The flashlight is held in front of the chest with his right hand...
Putting the flashlight in his mouth again, Cheng Yu put the backpack back on top of his head and moved half a step forward so that he could use his left hand to grab the handle-like object above his head and grab the strap of the backpack at the same time. Deal with it
After carrying his backpack, Cheng Yu took off the flashlight from his mouth and looked up. He was surprised to find that on the top of the canal, there was something like a handle every few dozen centimeters, pointing towards the rushing water.
At the end of the wall. Cheng Yu was secretly happy. This meant that a turning point had come. The secret room where the treasure was hidden was right in front of him. Someone must be coming here, or someone must be ready to let people come. Otherwise, what are these handles used for? Isn't it just for letting people come?
People can be successful
Can you reach the end of the current without being carried away by the rapid current?
With the handle on the top of the canal, Cheng Yu's movements became much easier. He put the flashlight in his mouth again, took turns grabbing the handle in front of him with both hands, and soon stood where the water flow disappeared.
The water was already very strong when it reached here. Cheng Yu felt that his feet could no longer stand on the ground freely. If it weren't for the handle above his head, he would have been carried away by the current.
Grasping the two handles with both hands one after the other, Cheng Yu lowered his head and let the flashlight's beam shine on the place where the water disappeared.
The wall in front was one that Cheng Yu had already seen, and under the wall, between the water and the water, was a ditch about half a meter wide.
Under the beam of the flashlight, Cheng Yu saw that the ditch was not deep, only more than one meter. Then it continued to flow to the right and soon returned to the original culvert...
Therefore, there was a deliberate opening here, so there is no doubt that the entrance to the secret treasure room must be here. Letting his feet be washed off the ground by the water, Cheng Yu looked up and let the flashlight beam shine on the top of the canal.
Then he moved forward hand by hand until he reached the wall. Only then did Cheng Yu finally see a hole as high as one person.
, appeared in front of his eyes, but the direction was towards the exit of the culvert, which was the opposite direction to the water flow.
After swaying slightly in the water, Cheng Yu crossed one foot through the current and stepped on the edge of the hole. With a strong effort from his waist, he rushed over and then fell forward.
The feet were still slippery, but there was no water flow, which was enough for Cheng Yu to stand still. He shined the beam of the flashlight into the cave, but it was still bottomless. This was just an ordinary small flashlight, and the effective lighting distance was estimated to be only four meters.
Five meters away, in such a relatively narrow hole, at most it can only illuminate
It was eight to ten meters long. Cheng Yu was sure that this was the entrance to the treasure room. He picked up the backpack that had fallen next to him and simply took off his clothes that were so wet that he could squeeze out several kilograms of water. He took out a pair of clothes from the bag.
Towels, after a simple wipe, were replaced
Clean clothes in the bag.
The soles of his feet were still a little slippery and uncomfortable, but at least his body was dry. Cheng Yu stuffed the wet clothes he had changed into his backpack, put them on his back again, and walked forward step by step.
Just like the way he came, Cheng Yu is walking upward every step of the way. If he returns to the culvert over there, Cheng Yu is also heading upward now.
However, after walking about ten meters, Cheng Yu found that the road surface under his feet had obviously changed. It was no longer going upwards, but downwards.
After walking a few more steps, the slope under his feet increased significantly, and the downward angle became steeper and steeper. Cheng Yu shined the beam downwards. This time, he found that the beam hit the wall not far away, and it seemed that he had already arrived in front of him.
The end.
This is the right place.
Cheng Yu walked quickly with a bit of joy, no longer caring about the steep downhill road. Walking too fast, Cheng Yu bumped into the wall in front of him, and then he saw something like a figure about two meters to the left of the wall.
