While catching fish along the way, Lin Mo also discovered a phenomenon, that is, as you go eastward, there are fewer small fish, but the number of big fish increases, especially on the northeast side.
"What is this? Is it cloth?" Zhang Jingmin caught a half-meter-long red fish, and accidentally pulled out something black and stuck it on the fish. Zhang Jingmin opened it and looked at it again and again, puzzled.
Open your mouth.
"There won't be any dead people here, right? I just saw several pieces of cloth."
Initially, no one paid attention to Zhang Jingmin's words, but the last words he said attracted everyone's attention. Lin Mo looked for the sound and found that it was the same team member who had mistakenly thought there was something dirty underground.
"We dare to kill living people, what are the dead ones to be afraid of? If you are really worried about something dirty coming to you, just keep your virgin body and decades of firepower to ensure that all ghosts and evil spirits will surround you.
Walk."
"Haha..." Lin Mo's joke made everyone burst into laughter. The team member also blushed with embarrassment. Lin Mo didn't laugh. He walked towards Zheng Junshan, took the things and looked at them, and found many similar things around him.
"There are no traces of cutting stitches. It should be that the goods were not cleaned before. The rest has not been completely soaked by the water. There are just some corners left. Everyone can catch fish with peace of mind."
Feeling reassured, Lin Mo took a flashlight and carefully looked at the fragments. Seeing this, Zhang Jingmin came over holding the red fish he had caught.
Lin Mo took a look and recognized that this was a grass goldfish, a type of goldfish, golden crucian carp, a medium-sized fish that can usually grow to thirty centimeters, but this one caught by Zhang Jingmin was much larger than the average one, estimated to be half a meter.
Yes, this is not common.
"Do you see anything special about it? I just touched it and it felt like it was not an ordinary thing."
Lin Mo heard this and said: "Looking at the remaining patterns, I guess it's Shu brocade. I thought it was strange before that a warehouse in such a remote place had to be built in such a secret underground warehouse. If it's Shu brocade, it makes sense.
, this thing is really worth every penny!"
Although Shu brocade has begun to decline in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and was hit hard by foreign goods after the Opium War, it is a luxury product that has been passed down for thousands of years, and is much stronger than those that have been around for hundreds of years. Even if it is hit, the original audience and market will not be the same.
It may disappear completely, but there will still be people paying for it.
The rapid decline of Shu brocade in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China was partly due to market changes, but political turmoil and frequent wars were the main culprits that caused it to fall directly to the bottom.
It is estimated that these businessmen who deal in Shu brocade also anticipated this situation, so they quietly spent a lot of money to build this warehouse here to store Shu brocade to withstand the impact of the turmoil.
It's a pity that they were too optimistic about the turmoil that has swept China for decades. With the turbulence, trade routes were blocked, and even their own hometowns were in chaos for ten or twenty years. The warehouses had not played much role before they themselves were destroyed.
.
"Oh...wait a minute..." Seeing the team member walking by, Lin Mo stopped him.
"If you really care about those things, you might as well try what I just said before you get married. Although I just made fun of you, I didn't say anything nonsense."
"Thank you, Captain Lin, I..." The team member was a little at a loss after hearing this. He started talking without hesitation, stammered and couldn't hold back anything, and in the end he could only blush...
"Remember, you have to call the supervisor. Don't keep telling the truth. Okay, let's go!" Lin Mo gave a gentle reminder and asked the team members who were about to die to leave to resolve the awkward atmosphere.
"Is what you said really useful?" Seeing the person walking away, Zhang Jingmin asked a little doubtfully.
"I don't know either..." Lin Mo shook his head and explained: "According to some theories, this is theoretically feasible, but there is no credible example to prove it.
The main thing is to give him psychological comfort and sustenance. As long as he firmly believes in this statement, before he really encounters this kind of thing, we should be able to try to prevent him from being like the wind and rain like today, so as to avoid causing any trouble at the critical moment."
"So that's the purpose? Is this the psychological counseling and psychotherapy you talked about?"
"Uh..." Lin Mo didn't react for a moment. After thinking about it, he said: "It should also fall into the category of psychological counseling. I don't know much about this aspect, so I really can't answer you."
"Fuck...there are so many big fish..." Zhang Jingmin was just about to exchange a few words with Lin Mo Commercial. Hearing these words, he immediately lost his mind and said to leave, still holding the fish and trying to get in.
"Alas... send the fish out first! You don't see this one very often. If you don't place it properly, it probably won't survive."
Zhang Jingmin stopped, frowned and looked at the fish in his hand, then looked inside again, hesitated for a while, and finally chose to send the fish away.
When Lin Mo arrived, everyone had already gathered at the northeast corner of the underground warehouse, but no one cared. The flashlights were all gathered at a hole in the wall in the corner.
The layout of the underground warehouse is that there is an east-west horizontal aisle on each side of the north and south sides, and in the middle are cave-shaped warehouses that run vertically through the north and south. This hole is at the eastern end of the north aisle.
It is obvious that the hole was not formed by collapse, but was built artificially. There should have been a hidden door before, but it has fallen down and only scattered wooden boards of the door frame can be seen.
In front of the cave, there are many scattered and broken wooden shelves on the ground. Judging from some relatively well-preserved objects, they should be carts that were placed here before.
Where Lin Mo was standing, the mud had already reached the top of his feet. The entrance to the cave was probably blocked by some wood that had not completely rotted, so the mud was obviously accumulated higher.
There is also a small stream of water flowing out of the hole, which has washed out a groove in the mud. The fish are around the hole. Most of them have their tails facing the hole and their heads facing people. They probably came out of the hole with the water when the water was pumped and stranded in the hole.
around.
There are indeed many big fish, and there are three or four giant ones that I saw. A giant green carp is smaller than the one Xu Guyu found before, but it is definitely over a hundred pounds. A big red koi is bigger than the one Lin Mo found before.
The golden koi is still big.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! There are more than ten big fish left, including koi, grass carp, herring, etc. They are also not small in size. They are stuck or lying in the mud, and their tails are stirred from time to time.
"What's going on here... appeal..." After putting down the fish, Zhang Jingmin hurried back and asked Lin Mo while breathing heavily.
"It is estimated that those people built a secret passage for this underground warehouse. When pumping water, the fish swam out of the secret passage along the water and stranded around the exit. I think the source of the water and fish in this underground warehouse lies here.
In a secret passage."
"Come on, come on, let's get moving, let's get the fish out first." After briefly introducing the situation to Zhang Jingmin, Lin Mo called on everyone to move the fish out. This fish has been stranded for a long time, and it may not survive if it is delayed any longer.
.
Everyone cut out a few more pieces of canvas, and after a lot of effort, they finally got all the fish out and put them in place. The scattered wooden shelves at the entrance of the cave were also cleared to the side, making it easier for people to go directly to the front of the cave.
The cave is actually not small at all, it is more than two meters high and two meters wide. It is not a problem to move a cart, and the walls and top are made of stone blocks, which is very stable!
Lin Mo and Zhang Jingmin took the initiative to invite Ying to take the lead and go in as the first team to check the situation. After discussion, Liu Zhenshan led the team and gathered four other team members to take action.
After making some preparations, Lin Mo and Zhang Jingmin took the lead at the front. Liu Zhenshan was five to ten meters away from the two of them. He always paid attention to their situation and was responsible for commanding and handling emergencies, as if they were in danger.
Immediately notify the back to organize rescue.
The last team member was more than ten meters away from Liu Zhenshan. He was responsible for relaying rescue information and internal conditions to the back, maintaining contact with the back, and explaining various situations in the cave.
The biggest trouble when walking in is the mud under your feet. This thing is completely mud, and you can step on it with one foot. Fortunately, the ground should be paved with blue bricks, but the mud will suck your feet, and you will be crushed every step you take.
A lot of effort.
Another trouble is the fish. There are more fish here, big and small. You can meet one after just a few steps, so the two of you have to stay away as much as possible.
Just now, the two of them met a big carp, an ordinary carp, but this carp was extremely big, probably weighing hundreds of kilograms. It was right in the middle of the road. The two of them walked around from both sides. As a result, the carp swooped.
Half of their bodies were splashed with mud.
"We have to go a hundred meters, right? It's really deep, and the light can't even reach the end now."
"It's probably still early! This secret passage is probably built to transfer valuable goods from the underground warehouse in times of emergency. It must be more than one or two hundred meters long. As long as the goods in such a large warehouse are filled with a hole, there will be no movement.
It’s so small that if it’s moved to a place too close, it won’t be able to hide it from anyone.”
"Then this is a big project!"
"Definitely, I guess, the soil under the last row of warehouses was probably created when the tunnel was dug. I had previously guessed that the soil was from digging the underground warehouses, so I felt something was wrong.
According to what the team leader heard, this underground warehouse was dug out in advance, which means that the underground warehouse was built in front of most of the above-ground warehouses. At that time, there were more and better ways to deal with the earthwork, such as backfilling the underground warehouse.
There is also a ditch on the top of the warehouse. There must be a ditch not only in the warehouse, but also in the front and back, but we didn't see it when we came. It is probably filled with the excess earth from the underground warehouse.
Also, the last row of warehouses was not completed in the end, which is probably the reason why manpower was invested here. After all, there is only some finishing work left, and the materials have been prepared, so it won't take so long."
"Maybe I really made you guess, but there is a lot of earth under that row of warehouses. If you compare it with the cross-section of this secret passage, the length is estimated to be several kilometers... Alas... Quick... help me take a photo of my feet. There are living things.
Move at my feet."
Lin Mo quickly stood still. When he shined the flashlight, Zhang Jingmin had already put his hand into the mud, and he didn't know what was rolling in the mud.
"Swish..." Zhang Jingmin fumbled for a while, rinsed his hands in the muddy water, and pulled out a twisting and struggling yellow living creature.
"Hehe~ It really is this thing. I haven't held it for a few years and my hands are getting rusty."
"Eel..." Lin Mo said the name of this thing, frowned and looked around. The wall and roof of the secret passage were made with strips of stone for forty to fifty meters, and then there was the stone wall and the blue brick roof.
of.
This stone wall is not made of regular strips of stones, but stones of different sizes and shapes. Although the wall has been leveled, there are many large and small gaps and holes.
"Team Liu, we discovered the yellow thread. It may drill through the holes in the stone wall to the back of the stone wall and loosen the soil behind the wall. Let the brothers behind remember to check for hidden dangers in the stone wall."
"Okay..." Zhenshan responded and loudly passed the message to the team members following him, who then passed it on to the back.
After a delay, the two of them took advantage of the situation to rest for a while before continuing forward. As they went forward, the quality of the walls on both sides also changed. The stone walls gradually became lower and more were replaced by blue bricks. The leveling of the stone walls
It also deteriorated visibly to the naked eye, and eventually the stone walls disappeared and were replaced by blue brick walls.
And the deeper you go, the thicker and thicker the mud becomes, and the smell becomes stronger and stronger. Sometimes the smell brought out by lifting your feet out of the mud can make you unable to open your eyes.
The two trudged forward for a while, and the mud under their feet became thicker and tighter. It also began to have a grainy texture. It was no longer the pulpy mud before, and their feet began to sink.
It's getting shallower and shallower, and it's starting to get easier and easier to walk on.
"Take a photo of my feet, I stepped on something again." Lin Mo took the light skillfully, Zhang Jingmin lifted his feet, squatted down and groped for a while, and soon he came out with a river mussel as big as a man's head.
"Another big thing!" Zhang Jingmin was so happy that his eyes narrowed, but Lin Mo's eyes followed the flashlight and fell on the mud that Zhang Jingmin dug out of the river mussels.
Lin Mo walked over and knelt down to take a closer look. He grabbed a little more and twisted it in his hands, frowning slightly.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Any new discoveries?"
"Indeed, I thought the mud became firmer because it was mixed with sand, but I just saw that it doesn't look like sand!"
"What's that? Don't be too pretentious."
"Granules of bone broken into sand."
"Bones? Are there dead people?" This shocked Zhang Jingmin. How many bones must be mixed in? How many people died?
"What are you thinking about? I'm talking about bone particles, not human bone particles. Isn't the clam shell on your hand made of bone? I guess it's the crushed shell of a snail or something like that."
"It's... it scared me to death... Please explain it more clearly next time. I'm getting goosebumps. I thought there were corpses here..."
"Fuck...I'm so stupid..." Suddenly there was a huge bang in front of him, and Zhang Jingmin, who was still immersed in the picture of hell in his imagination, was so frightened that Zhang Jingmin cursed.
"What the hell are you jumping around like? You're so fucking scared..." Zhang Jingmin cursed and greeted the fish's relatives. He wanted to pat his frightened heart, but found that his hands were covered in mud.
"His grandma's is probably another big fish. But then again, aren't there too many big fish here? Why did they eat so big fish?"
Lin Mo heard this and said: "The big fish here are all omnivorous. They probably eat small fish, shrimps, snails, loaches, eels, red worms and other aquatic creatures. These things are everywhere in the mud along the way."
yes."
"Then what are these for?"
"Smaller microorganisms like plankton! Then there are bacteria, single-celled organisms, and then there are food residues from fish and shrimps, feces and other organic matter, which cycle back and forth to form a circulatory system, but I guess there are also foreign foods.
The source maintains the operation of this relatively simple system, and we estimate that we will be able to find the answer going forward."
