"Master...Uncle Master, do you feel a little dizzy?"
"It seems that I really feel something." Uncle Xue shook his head.
This feeling of dizziness came very quickly, even very quickly, and then I suddenly felt a tightness in my chest, my body went limp, and I fell into the pond with a plop.
The water was very cold, and I was still somewhat conscious, but I couldn't hold my breath when I wanted to. Uncle Xue saw that I had fallen into the water and reached out to catch me, but he also fell into the water with a pop.
I drank several large gulps of water in a row, and my legs lost strength and began to sink.
In the last few seconds of consciousness, I vaguely saw a huge toad underwater, wearing red underpants and swimming towards me.
...
"Wake up! Wake up! Mineko!"
My eyelids were heavy and my head hurt. I slowly opened my eyes and saw several familiar faces.
Xiaoxuan held my hand and asked in a panic: "Yunfeng, how are you feeling? It's scary. Your face was almost turning purple before."
My headache was so severe that I struggled to sit up and leaned on the bed.
Thinking of the previous scene, I quickly asked: "Where is Master Xue!"
Xiaoxuan looked distressed, grabbed my hand and said softly: "Don't panic, he hasn't woken up in the east room yet, it was Dou Sprout who carried you back one by one."
I woke up in the afternoon, and Master Xue didn't wake up until the evening. His symptoms after waking up were the same as mine, with a headache and general lack of energy.
Bean Sprouts stood by the briquette fire, holding a bowl and saying: "Fengzi, you two are scared to death. If I hadn't been good at water, you would have almost drowned, you know?"
I put a hot towel on my head and half leaned on the bed and asked, "Yazi, what happened before? Uncle Xue and I both felt dizzy. Why are you okay?"
Dou Sprout took a mouthful of noodles and muttered, "I don't know, I keep holding my breath. Is it because of this?"
"There is no doctor in the village, so I drove the whole night to get a doctor from Yongzhou. The doctor said he would call him when you wake up, so I drove him back again. He should be back soon."
"What did the doctor say?"
Xiaoyuan helped me change the towel on my head and said, "Do you still have a headache?"
"The doctor said you had acute carbon dioxide poisoning. Fortunately, the inhalation time was short. The doctor told you to drink this medicine when you wake up. He also said that if you still have a headache within two days, you should go to the high-pressure chamber of Yongzhou City Hospital to inhale oxygen."
The pills Xiaoxuan asked me to take were mannitol and a few bags of some granules. I didn’t understand why I had carbon dioxide poisoning, or if it was something acute. If Douyazai hadn’t brought it back, Uncle Xue and I would be dead.
Could it be that...that villager had the same experience as me before? No one discovered him for a long time and he was not rescued?
In the evening, I hurried back home.
Seeing that I woke up as the doctor said, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked what happened.
After discussion, we finally came to a conclusion:
Regardless of who stole the Taoist statue, the reason why we suffer from dizziness and carbon dioxide poisoning is probably related to the black hole under the pond.
Bubbly water means there is energy.
If a large amount of carbon dioxide rises up from the bottom of the water in a short period of time, and there is no time to evaporate, and we happen to be standing on the shore very close to the pond at the time, it is indeed possible for acute carbon dioxide poisoning. This conclusion is straightforward.
In this way, the villager was not scared to death, but just like us.
Dou Sprout recalled that around 10 o'clock, he dived to the bottom of the water and wanted to get closer to the black hole to take a look. However, before he got close, he felt air flow coming out and bubbles began to form in the water. Dou Sprout felt something was wrong and prepared to surface.
, at this time Master Xue and I fell down again.
The big toad I saw before I fell into coma was mistaken. It was Dou Sprout wearing red underpants.
We have encountered the first problem.
Where does the black cave under Guizailing Reservoir lead to?
Why do large amounts of carbon dioxide emerge from underwater at regular intervals? Where does this carbon dioxide, which is so high in concentration that it can cause acute poisoning of people, come from?
I couldn't figure it out at first.
Anyone who is good at chemistry can think about it.
