The tent we are in has a back door, and outside is where they usually go to the toilet. There is no toilet underneath, so it is not convenient to spread here and there.
After making a plan, Researcher An deliberately turned the power of the diesel generator to the maximum to cover up the noise of us moving the big cylinder.
"Open it so loudly? Are you okay? Can I go in?" Chen Jiansheng shouted outside when he heard the roar of the generator.
"No! Not yet!" Researcher An shouted loudly: "We're halfway through the process. The instrument needs to run at full strength. We'll call you when we're done."
Then Chen Jiansheng muttered something outside, but he didn't hear it clearly.
At this moment, two strange sounds came from nowhere, "Gu... Gu..." The sound sounded like some kind of bird, and a bit like the crow of a chicken.
"Why are there still chickens down there?"
"Sister Hong? Sister Hong?" Seeing her stunned, I called out twice.
"It's probably a pheasant or something, it's nothing," Sister Hong changed the topic and pointed at the water tank and said, "Don't worry about these useless things, let's get started."
start to act.
Pour out the water in the water tank, open the leather curtain of the back door, and put a shovel in the water tank.
Then a few of us started to turn the big water tank out. Because the big tank was heavy and difficult to lift, we could only roll out little by little.
There was a smell in the back. Li Zheng said that you should pay attention to your steps and walk around where there are toilet paper balls. Don't accidentally step on the feces. Researcher An felt a little embarrassed after hearing this. She smiled coquettishly.
laugh.
The thunder continued, but I didn't know if it was raining outside. I prayed in my heart that the thunder would never stop, otherwise my solution would not work.
The big water tank was very heavy. After a few people walked around, Li Zheng couldn't bear it for a long time. He gasped and complained: "Where are we going with such a big guy! If we have to walk for another hour or two,
, let alone being caught by that group, we will all die of exhaustion here!"
I looked around and felt that the conditions here were not bad, so I told him that he didn't have to leave and just stay here. I pointed to an open space in between.
After simply clearing the gravel and looking at the location, I started digging with the shovel. I was lucky, there were no big rocks under the soil and the mud was not hard. Digging a hole is a laborious job and naturally it is done by men. Li Zheng and I alternated.
It took more than an hour to dig a pit.
The pit is neither big nor small, just big enough to accommodate the water tank we rolled all the way across.
Several people worked together to push the water tank into the dug pit. Researcher An wiped his sweat and whispered: "Is this method really effective? We don't end up working in vain, and we were captured in the end."
Sister Hong was not happy when she heard this. She frowned and said: "Every line is like a mountain. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. If you really can't speak, just say something auspicious."
Sister Hong has an open and aggressive personality, while Researcher An is timid. She just wants to save her own life, and she didn’t even get angry even after being spoken to by Sister Hong. Her pretty face turned red and she didn’t dare to talk back.
"Come on Yunfeng, since I have taught you this, I believe you." Sister Hong looked at me and cast an encouraging look.
I nodded, took a deep breath, told them not to influence me with their words, and then jumped directly into the water tank.
Dig a hole in the soil and bury the water tank underground.
This cylinder can be understood as an echo collector. Its principle is somewhat similar to the simple bamboo tube sound transmission device. The difference is that the sound transmission medium of the bamboo tube is a wire, while the medium of the water tank to collect echo is the ground. The sound of thunder is louder and louder.
The larger the sound is, the clearer the echoes from all directions below the ground will be. This is like a person setting off firecrackers in a cave. The sound of the firecrackers spreads to the dead end and the living end before being transmitted back. The echoes are definitely different.
In the tomb robbing industry, this method is called "listening to thunder."
It is said that the powerful native masters in the past could "listen to the wind and listen to things". If you want to listen to the wind and listen to things, you can't do it without a lot of training.
There was silence all around.
"Boom!" Spring thunder sounded.
"No, it's not enough. Please give me some more." I squatted in the tank and listened carefully to the echoes of thunder coming from the ground, praying in my heart for more thunder.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Researcher An and the others may not have felt anything up there, but I moved my ears back and forth, and a smile appeared on my lips.
Seeing that I opened my eyes, Sister Hong looked at me expectantly and asked how it was going.
Climbing out of the water tank, I tried to remember the direction from which the thunder came. I bent down and used a small wooden stick to make a triangle in the ground. The tip of the triangle pointed toward the southwest, making an angle of 45 degrees.
I looked at the triangle I had made with small wooden sticks, pointed at a place and said, "The echo in that direction is different, and it is likely to lead to the ground."
Sister Hong nodded and said, "This way we have a general idea in mind, so we won't run into each other like headless flies." She turned to look at Researcher An and asked, "Why, we already know the way. Do you want to go alone or follow?"
Let’s go together, but I’ve agreed in advance that Yunfeng and I will go find someone to save him.”
Researcher An fell into deep thought, but Li Zheng quickly made a decision.
"Xiao An and I have to go back to find Lao Xu. Now that we know the general direction, we won't go with you. Let's say something auspicious. If we all go out safely, you are welcome to visit Hong Kong in the future. Come to Hong Kong.
You can find me at No. 36, Times Square, Causeway Bay.”
In this way, we exchanged a few polite words. Li Zheng left a flashlight to me and Sister Hong for lighting, and then the four of us separated here.
The two of them were going back to find their companion Lao Xu, and Sister Hong and I were also going to find my eldest brother and the others. I sighed in my heart, hoping that both of us could get out alive.
...
"Sister Hong, are you sure this is here? Why is there no one guarding you? Are the eldest brother and the others locked up here by the little old man and his gang?" I asked, looking in front of me.
There is a round stone cover on the ground. When you remove the stone cover, you can see a ladder. It seems that the people who came here before climbed down the ladder. What makes me feel strange is that there is no one watching around here.
When I saw a figure, I could say that it was completely defenseless. It didn't look like a secret place to lock people up. To put it mildly, it looked like a bigger mouse hole.
"That's right, it's right here. I noticed it when I separated from the boss, and they stopped here." Sister Hong seemed to trust her memory.
I said okay, since there is no one to watch, let's go down and have a look. After saying that, I bit the flashlight and climbed down the ladder first, with Sister Hong following closely behind me.
After stepping on the ground and getting down, I looked up and looked up with a flashlight. The ladder was about seven meters high. The rocks on the walls of the cave didn't look like they were newly mined. Most of the edges of the exposed stones had been weathered and smoothed.
.
I asked Sister Hong which direction I should go. After looking at it, Sister Hong firmly pointed to the left and said that way.
Seeing her being so confident without hesitation, I was a little surprised, so I asked: "Sister Hong, how do you know this? Have you been here before?"
She shook her head, "No, it's just a guess. You have to choose a direction anyway. I have a woman's first instinct, and sometimes it's really accurate."
I thought to myself, okay, as for your so-called woman’s first feeling, is it accurate or not?
It will be clear when you go to the end and take a look.
