In the first month of the year, the temperature here in Daoxian County is six to seven degrees during the day and three to four degrees at night, so the surface of the pond will not freeze.
Those who specialize in digging water holes in the south almost all have diving suits and gas bottles. Many high-end diving suits are returned from abroad. By the time these people have it, they only have third-hand and fourth-hand goods.
Among the batch of diving suits we borrowed, there is a high-end product, which Master Xue wore. This kind of diving suit has a film space between the cortex and the body. After entering the water, the river water will quickly fill the film layer, which has a thermal insulation effect and is suitable for winter.
Wear it for people who work and work long hours.
Nan sends people to the store to buy this kind of goods. He usually shouts when he enters the door: "Hey, brother, do you have any in Bosideng? Please bring me something that fits."
"Bosideng" played a big role in the "Jiangkou Chenyin Underwater Tomb Robbery Case" after 2011. The group was very poor at first and could not afford to buy it. For the first time, they fished something underwater and sold it for hundreds of thousands.
, all replaced by this Bosideng.
From 2011 to the end of 2014, this group of people soaked in the water for seven or eight hours a day, taking turns changing the cylinders, and caught many good things. Later, because the grade of the "Tiger Gold Seal" they sold was too high, they were
One pot is served.
It is impossible to recover all the underwater cultural relics that escaped in those years. I have personally seen a fifty-two-weight silver ingot from the first year of Tianqi in Changsha Prefecture. It must have been fished out from the Wujiang River.
After entering the water, I followed Xiaoxuan downstream. I swam the slowest and was about to distance myself from the rest of the group. At this time, Xiaoxuan looked back at me, pointed at herself, and signaled me to hold on to her.
The oxygen mask was beeping and bubbling. After I caught Xiaoxuan, my speed became much faster. I shined four or five flashlights underwater. Several very small fish swam past me. Bean sprouts swam the fastest with their cheeks puffed out.
Near the bottom of the pond, you can see a large area of silt, with many rotten aquatic plants dangling at the bottom. Bean Sprouts pulled out some aquatic plants, revealing an oval black hole more than one meter long and half a meter wide.
Looking at the direction of the water flow, the black hole is open to water, but I don't know where it leads.
He swam his head next to Dou Sprouts and patted him. Dou Sprouts half-opened his eyes and said ok, meaning he was fine.
The duck swam happily in the water, as if he was in no one's land. He pulled the duck over by the rope, pointed his head to the entrance of the black hole, and flicked his hand on the duck's head.
The duck folded its wings and dived directly into the hole. The speed was very fast. The rope in Bean Sprout's hand was instantly released for more than ten meters, and it was still being released in circles.
After waiting for almost a minute and a half, the rope stopped moving, so I pulled my head on the rope.
After a while, the duck swam back again, tilted its head in front of us and flapped its wings twice.
He gestured with his head to indicate to everyone that there was no problem.
Dou Sprout kicked his legs, grabbed the edge of the black hole and swam in. The water duck led the way, and the others followed.
After I came in and swam forward a few meters, I felt that the water temperature had become a little lower. Normally, the bottom of the water is warmer than the surface. This was a bit abnormal. I was not sure if it was due to the underground river.
We dived first and swam, and along the way we could see many stalactite-like stones under the water. After hitting the bottom, the space began to narrow, and a natural collapse appeared in front of us. After we got in through this hole, the surrounding area became larger.
Quite a bit, when he got here, Dou Sprout's face turned red, and he began to paddle quickly to float on the water.
"Puff, puff..."
Everyone got out of the water one after another.
Dou Sprout wiped his face and took a deep breath.
Adjusting the headlight, turning around and looking around, we were in an underground river. The bank was very narrow, less than one meter wide.
"Huh...huh..."
"Look...you saw it! This is where I went back last time!" Dou Sprout pointed to the shore and said loudly.
When we got ashore, we took off our masks, looked around with a flashlight and said: "The stone here is similar to that of Yin Yang Cave. Lao Tian guessed it right. The reason why the village pond does not dry up all year round is because the underground water is flowing."
."
"Ah sneeze!"
"Hey, it's so cold. Give me something to wipe with." Dou Sprout wiped himself and put on his clothes. The duck also flapped its wings to shake the water.
"Junior brother, what do you think?" he asked Uncle Xue with his head turned.
Uncle Xue looked around, frowned and said, "I can't see any trace of artificial digging. I have entered underground caves like this in Guizhou. Generally, they get narrower and narrower, and in the end there is no way out."
"
Li Tiecheng said: "I think the rocks around here look a bit like Huanglong Cave."
I asked him where Huanglong Cave was, and he said it was a tourist attraction and not many people went there in winter.
"Um...."
He nodded and said: "I have roughly estimated that where we are standing now is 300 to 500 meters away from Guizai Slope, but that is a straight line distance. We have spent so much effort to get down, so let's take a walk first."
"It's narrow here, so everyone walks in a line, be careful of slippery feet," he warned everyone to be careful.
I caught the duck and put it back into the bag. Li Tiecheng and Bean Sprouts walked in the front, Xiaoxuan put her head in the middle, and Brother Yu and I walked in the end.
It is not a road in the first place. There are small slopes in some places. When the river water wets the slope, it will become very slippery. We held on to the stone wall and walked very carefully step by step.
"So beautiful..." Xiaoxuan sighed as she looked at the clear water and walked a hundred meters forward while holding on to the stone wall.
This is also the first time I have seen this kind of water. It is very clear. There are no fish underwater. When the light shines on the water, it will reflect a slight blue light, like a light blue mirror.
"Slower."
Walking along the river bank to the end, there is a large smooth slope. In fact, I was a little discouraged when I got here. I thought I would see blue bricks in the tomb passage when I came down, but no, the surroundings were all natural topography.
"Hey? Who the hell eats this?"
Dou Sprout picked up an instant noodle bag from a well-off family.
He glanced at the dough bag, frowned and whispered: "Old Tian's? What on earth is he looking for..."
You have to be careful when walking here, and it takes a lot of energy. This slope is difficult to climb, it is too slippery. Brother Yu first climbed over and pulled us one by one. When it was Xiaoxuan's turn, didn't she have short arms? I should have
He pushed it up.
"Phanerozoic, maybe this place really has nothing to do with the Guizai Stone Statue Group. This is the karst landform that is very common in Hunan."
Before he could say anything, he suddenly heard Li Tiecheng shouting: "Come over and take a look! I've found something!"
"Is it... I can't see well, is that a backpack?"
"Is it...a bag or a stone at the bottom of the water?"
I'm not sure, it looks like a square thing with two ribbons, like a square backpack.
Dou Sprouts said to go down and take a look. Li Tiecheng said, "Don't go without your clothes. I'll go down and take a look."
The water was not very deep and there was no need for oxygen. Li Tiecheng held his breath and jumped into the water.
We watched him move his hands and swim closer to the target.
