Late at night in Miyao Mountain, a "dang-dang" sound kept coming from an unknown river.
Dou Sprout's face turned red from the cold. He held on to the crowbar and gasped: "I can't do it anymore. I'm exhausted. I have to rest for a while."
I said, "Don't stop. It took a lot of effort to dig so deep. The temperature is right now, and the river will freeze again later. Why did I forget to bring a cyclone shovel?"
Lao Wang was wearing a garbage bag on his upper body, and I saw that his lips were turning purple, so I stopped chipping away at the ice and lit a fire on the shore. If my hands couldn't bear the coldness, I went to warm myself up.
Xiaoxuan suddenly spoke up and suggested: "How about we use explosives? There is still half a box of detonators in the bag."
"No," I said, "This is the ice surface, not the ground. If we use explosives, the entire river surface may collapse. What if we fall in?"
"Haha, you guys are still too young, just look at me."
Lao Wang smiled stupidly and volunteered to help us cut the ice. He used very little force at first, and then he used more and more force. The crowbar was lifted up in his hand, and he smashed it down!
He said: "To cut the ice, you have to cut it on the same hole every time. It's a waste of energy to cut it all over the sky like you do!"
I said of course I knew, I was just not sure.
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard a muffled sound!
The ice layer, which was tens of centimeters thick, was cut through.
Everyone ran over to take a look, and I used my flashlight to shine underwater.
There was ice just now. I couldn't see anything clearly underwater. Now that there is no ice, I still can't see clearly.
I frowned and asked, "Is there really a well under here?"
Lao Wang said: "Of course! If you don't believe me, just go into the water and take a look yourself and you will know!"
I said, Lao Wang, go down and take a look, and if you find anything, come up and say something.
No one lives in the deep mountains and forests, so why is there a well?
The key is still at the bottom of the river, which is so strange.
Lao Wang shook his head like a rattle.
He said dissatisfiedly: "I'm not going down. I'm just telling you the location. Anyway, the sword was fished out from the well. I'm not a fool. I won't freeze to death if I go down with such cold water?"
"Old Wang, look at how cowardly you are! I'll do it!"
Dou Sprout took off his clothes directly. Wearing only his shorts, he started to warm up by swaying from side to side.
Brother Yu said with a solemn expression: "Ya Zai, can you do it? Don't be brave. The situation in the river is unknown and it's not a joke."
"Don't worry, Brother Yu!"
Dou Sprout smiled while warming up: "My little white dragon from Zhoushan doesn't call me for nothing! This river is not as big as a latrine. I have swum at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, so what does this mean?"
After saying that, Douyazai checked the brightness of his headlight. He walked to the ice cave and stopped, gave us an OK gesture, then pinched his nose, took a deep breath, and jumped into the ice cave with a pop.
At first, you could still see a bright light underwater, which was Dou Sprout's headlamp.
But after a while, nothing could be seen.
We were all nervous. We kept staring at the hole in the ice. No one spoke, and the atmosphere was too quiet for a while.
After about two or three minutes, Bean Sprout broke out of the water. Brother Yu and I quickly pulled him up and asked what happened.
Douyazai's teeth chattered because of the cold. He wiped his face and gasped: "That's right! There is an ancient well at the bottom of the river! I just dived to the bottom and saw a lot of iron swords and broken helmets! There are also human bones!"
"How deep is the water?" I asked quickly.
Dou Sprout didn't even think about it and replied: "It's not too deep! It's about ten meters after all!"
"Hurry up and drink some wine to warm yourself up."
Half an hour later, the plan is as follows:
There are four of us, Douyazai leading the way. I, Lao Wang, and Xiaoxuan are all ready. We can fish out as much as we can after entering the water.
This depth is not a big problem for me. As for Lao Wang, I gave him a bottle of wine and agreed to help.
