How should we punish Xiong Jiandong who dared to offend Deputy Director Jiang?
The instructors looked at me and I looked at you, but no one said a word. If the punishment was too light, Deputy Director Jiang would not be satisfied; but if the punishment was severe, they could not come up with any strategies for the time being.
"Confined to think about your mistakes...at least one day in confinement!" Ding Kai carefully suggested.
Jiang Dongyu glared at Ding Kai, obviously feeling that the punishment was too light.
"The director just said that Xiong Jiandong has the special ability to hold his breath underwater." Jia Zhiming observed Jiang Dongyu's reaction, "From what I can see, I will order him to go to the lake over there now and hold his breath in the water for ten minutes.
It was a punishment, but also taking into account his unusual abilities, we conducted an on-site inspection."
After he finished speaking, he was so proud of himself that he couldn't help but laugh.
"Is he really as capable as you said?" Jiang Dongyu listened to Jia Zhiming's suggestion and asked He Kuishan.
Because Jiang Dongyu naturally didn't believe in a person's lung capacity and being able to stay underwater for more than five minutes. Since such an ingenious punishment was proposed by Xiong Jiandong, his former comrade, Xiong Jiandong could only obey obediently. He thought it was He Kuishan who
There will be people talking about suffering, but Hou Yiying has nothing to say, wouldn't it be very convincing to everyone?
"Reporting to the team leader, I guarantee that Xiong Jiandong can hold his breath underwater for twenty minutes and there will be absolutely no problem."
He Kuishan made a guarantee.
"Okay then," Jiang Dongyu said decisively to Xiong Jiandong, "Zhima, I will give you a chance and order you to find a place in the lake immediately and hold your breath underwater for ten minutes!"
Everyone present also wanted to see the authenticity of Xiong Jiandong's specialty, so they temporarily forgot about dinner and gathered around the lake.
Xiong Jiandong realized that he could not escape this level tonight.
——As far as Hua Nianping's psychology is concerned, his current concern is that the average person he knows can never hold his breath for more than two minutes. What's more, he has been physically disabled since he was a child, has never been exposed to swimming training, and does not know how to hold his breath underwater.
Skill.
At the same time, he also instinctively doubted whether what He Kuishan said was true. He wondered whether Xiong Jiandong's original body was, firstly, good at water-based kung fu? Secondly, whether he really had the ability to hold his breath underwater for twenty minutes?
Maybe it was true in the past, but is it still true now?
But no matter what, now we can only try to enter the bottom of the lake.
Xiong Jiandong especially understood that Jiang Dongyu looked down on him and even had some hostility, so of course he should not be afraid.
It has just arrived in late March. In this season, the temperatures in Beijing are generally low at night. Today, with the wind and rain, the water will look even colder.
Military orders are like mountains!
Xiong Jiandong took off his coat, decisively headed towards the depths of the center of the lake, and slowly tried to swim there. The lake was icy and bone-chilling, and he shivered constantly.
Jiang Dongyu ordered the searchlights to be turned on and always pointed in the direction in which Xiong Jiandong was swimming. He felt a kind of spiritual victory and satisfaction from this sadistic punishment of Xiong Jiandong.
At the beginning, Xiong Jiandong's head was still visible floating on the water a few dozen meters away from the lake. But moving forward, the searchlight suddenly lost sight of Xiong Jiandong within a few seconds.
There was no bottom there, and it seemed that he had already developed the ability to hold his breath underwater.
Everyone nervously counted the time.
One second, two seconds, three seconds... one minute, two minutes, three minutes... five minutes, ten minutes, twenty minutes... I haven't seen Xiong Jiandong surface yet.
Regarding what He Kuishan said about Xiong Jiandong's extraordinary ability to hold his breath in water, everyone gathered on the shore of the lake was very skeptical at first; but after a while, they became extremely surprised; and later, they became worried.
and fear.
"Is there any danger?" Jiang Dongyu asked He Kuishan.
It wouldn't be fun if someone died. Cold sweat began to flow from his forehead.
"No... let's wait a little longer!"
Although He Kuishan still had a little confidence in his answer, the shirt on his back was already heavily wet.
It has been more than half an hour, and Xiong Jiandong has not appeared on the lake yet. Some people can't help but feel that the Huangying Operation Team failed to succeed in the expedition, but lost one of its members to drowning and died first. This may not be a good sign.
…
When Xiong Jiandong took a breath and sank into the water, the first thing he felt was that his head was swelling, and then a heat rolled in his cavity. Blood immediately filled his limbs, and his whole body became comfortable.
Ah, I didn’t expect that my body really contains such unimaginable special powers!
He started trying to move underwater.
After about ten meters of swimming, he was blocked by a thick iron chain under the water. He groped forward along the iron chain, as if he had touched many solid objects. Because he was afraid of hurting his eyes, he never dared to open them. Even if he opened his eyes,
Eyes, he thought he would see nothing.
Continuing to move along the chain, I don’t know how long it took before Xiong Jiandong began to surface. To be precise, he was walking out of the water. Because he touched the other side of the lake here, the water was already as shallow as his waist, and his hands
The chain inside has also come to an end.
"Brother Bear!"
From the jungle on the shore, a woman's voice came out, calling softly to him.
"who is it?"
Xiong Jiandong asked in surprise.
"The orchids are fragrant, and I am lazy in spring. I feel sad by the Jiuwei Lake..."
The woman chanted.
Xiong Jiandong heard this song Tasha Xing, as if he had seen it somewhere before, but it was difficult to remember it for a moment. But the woman's familiar voice, with a deep inner force, made him immediately remember who had appeared.
"Taoist Master Miaoxin, why are you here?" He was really overjoyed.
Miao Xin handed over the pair of mandarin duck swords in her hands and pulled Xiong Jiandong from the water to the shore.
She bowed deeply in the darkness and said: "Wuliangguan, Kun Dao has been down the mountain for a few days, and temporarily stayed at Baiyun Temple outside Fuxingmen. This is the second time Kun Dao has been here, but it's just inconvenient to show up to meet Brother Xiong.
.”
"How come this Tasha line sounds familiar to me?"
Xiong Jiandong was surprised by the poem Miaoxin read just now.
"Brother Xiong, what do you think of the poem?" Miao Xin snickered and said, "It was written drunkenly by an erratic master in a mountain temple."
"The poem is indeed quite good. By the way, how can you find out about this place?" Xiong Jiandong asked. "You know, this place is not accessible to ordinary people."
"Kun Dao has its own means to get in and out. There is no need for Brother Xiong to worry." Miao Xin put her swords back together and changed the subject and said, "Just now, Brother Xiong was swimming in the water, as if he was swimming in the water.
Walking on the shore, can you know why?"
"I was just wondering about this, thinking that my ability to hold my breath in the water came from something strange!" Xiong Jiandong said.
"Brother Xiong drank the blood of the ten-thousand-year-old dragon from the Lotus Pond Jiao King in Jiuwei Mountain. There is no guarantee that he will not turn into a water monster." Miao Xin said, "Actually, you don't need to hold your breath in the water. You just need to breathe like a normal person."
"Lotus Pond Jiao King?" Xiong Jiandong thought of the dream he had in Miaoxin Qinfangzhai not long ago, and said sadly: "There was indeed a dream where you were taken to the bottom of Jiuwei Lake to meet the female baby empress and the dragon king in the water.
I’m still in a daze and can’t tell the truth from the lies!”
"If you say it's true, it's true; if you say it's false, it's false. It's all in your heart!" Miao Xin said with a smile, "Brother Xiong, remember what I just said, and go back to the water later and give it a try
Then you will know.”
At this moment, the two people suddenly heard the sound of a speedboat engine on the other side of the lake.
"Brother Bear, hurry up and get into the water. Someone must be looking for you in the lake!"
After Miaoxin said this, she raised her swords and dodged into the bushes, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
