The lantern was given to us by Li Tiecheng from the Huangnijing Vegetable Market. He had something to do and left that day. He said he would come back to us after finishing his work in about four days.
This round flashlight has a waterproof cord that can be used as a headlight strap when you pull out the cord.
Dou Sprout tied up the lamp and moved his body. He turned around, took two deep breaths, pinched his nose with one hand, and jumped into the pond with a pop.
The water was not clear, and soon the bean sprouts were no longer visible, but a faint flashlight light could be seen under the water.
I looked at the watch, and the time passed minute by minute. Several minutes passed quickly. I saw that the bean sprouts had not come up yet, and I was a little nervous.
Uncle Xue comforted me and said, "Don't panic. I think he is an expert in diving. I'm waiting."
"puff!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the water broke out.
He gasped loudly, wiped the water on his face, waved his hand towards me and shouted: "Fengzi! This pond is much deeper than I thought! It is estimated to be almost 20 meters deep! The bottom of the water is full of mud.
!I seem to have seen a black hole!”
"Black hole? What do you mean?"
"Wait a minute! I didn't see clearly just now!
"Let me change my breath, I'm going to dive down and take a look!"
"Be careful!" I shouted.
Dou Sprout splashed twice in the water and gave me an OK gesture with a smile.
He took two more breaths to hold it in, then with all his strength, he dived like a fish.
"Good water skills, as expected of someone who used to be a sailor," Uncle Xue couldn't help praising Dou Sprout.
Uncle Xue said that ordinary people can only hold their breath for about one or two minutes. Anyone who takes more than two minutes is considered powerful. Bean Sprouts can hold his breath for seven or eight minutes, but this is not his limit.
I'm not good at it. I practiced in a swimming pool for a while in Yinchuan, and I only learned how to paddle with a dog and kick with a toad. There was a swimming pool in the backyard of the villa where Xiaoxuan lived, and her water skills were pretty good.
Four or five minutes passed.
"Coming up, coming up," I saw the light of the flashlight going up underwater.
Dou Sprouts broke out of his water. He was all wet. He held something in one hand and shouted, "Look! Look what I found!"
"Clay statue? Taoist statue?"
I took a closer look and saw that it was really a statue of a Taoist priest! Why did it fall into the pond?
Dou Sprout swam over holding the clay figure high.
"Here, go on."
I reached out and took it.
This Taoist statue in Zaizai Temple sank under the water for some reason. When I fished it out, I found that it had cracked due to soaking and was a little sticky when I held it. The original cinnabar on the clay statue had almost been lost by the water.
Dou Sprout splashed twice in the water and said loudly: "What's up Fengzi! I told you I didn't steal it! I don't know who stole it! I threw it into the water!"
I said I know, come up quickly, why are you still soaking in the water?
"Wait! I'll be there next time."
Dou Yazai pointed to the water and said: "There is a deep hole at the bottom of the water. I don't know what's going on. I was fishing for the clay figures just now and didn't bother to take a look. This time I swam closer to take a look."
Before I could say anything, Dou Sprout dived again. This was already his third dive.
I wiped the Taoist statue and stood aside, staring nervously at the water. It was just about ten o'clock in the evening.
"Huh? What's going on?"
"Look, why is it starting to bubble again?" Uncle Xue suddenly frowned and pointed at the water.
When I saw it, it was really bubbling upwards in the middle of the pond, and the bubbling was getting more and more intense, just like boiling hot water in a pot.
I shouted twice, Dou Sprout, but there was no response. He dived the longest this time. We waited on the shore. Not only was I nervous, Master Xue was also a little nervous.
