In the early morning of the next morning, Xiaoli woke up as soon as the first rays of sunlight hit the yard, and she cheered and awakened the people who were still sleeping as if she had found a treasure.
Su Rui came out of the tent while touching her sour neck. There was no traffic and noise in the morning in the village. The scent of birds and flowers all around made people feel refreshed. Looking up is the lush and lush Qingdai, the comfortable sunlight is faintly sprinkled in the mountains and the air is filled with the fragrance of grass.
For Xiaoli, who grew up in the city since she was a child, this kind of scenery is really rare. After "waking up" everyone, she took the drawing board and sat at the door alone, facing the green mountains and rivers and began to sketch.
Lao Wang climbed out of the tent, rubbed his eye feces and rinsed it twice, and started boiling water for breakfast in the house.
There is a large iron pot for burning wood in the hall, and ready-made dry wood is piled in the yard. There is also a big water tank beside the stove in the house. There is a tank full of water enough for everyone to use for a few days. Yesterday Su Rui has tested the water quality without any problems. So in addition to food, all the daily necessities of this farmer's house are all available, which is convenient for this group of uninvited "guests".
After Lao Wang boiled half of the pot of water, he opened ten packs of instant noodles and threw them down with the condiments. After a while, a fragrant smell came out.
After washing up, Su Rui, Xiaoli and others smelled the smell and surrounded them, and they were full of praise for Lao Wang's "cooking skills".
Brother Xiaosha took out a few packs of mustard greens from his luggage and opened them in an empty basin. Everyone filled a bowl of instant noodles and ate them together.
Zi Yang originally wanted to stay in the tent for a while, but he couldn't stand the instant noodles. After getting up hastily washing his face and brushing his teeth, he also grabbed a pot of instant noodles from the pot and started to eat.
Lao Wang had a pot for easy consumption, wiped his mouth contentedly, tapped the pot with his chopsticks, and said, "I thought I could drive and drink at the villager's house, but now the villager has run away. The dry food we brought is only enough for a few meals. Yes, I think the food issue should be seriously considered next."
Brother Xiaosha hesitated and said: "I think we should leave here as soon as possible. All the villagers have left, indicating that this place may not be suitable for continuing to live..."
"Don't worry, let's play for a few days. There is nothing to worry about. At least the village looks like Guotai Min'an." Zi Yang drank a big mouthful of instant noodle soup with his neck up, and handed the pot to Lao Wang, "Some more!"
Lao Wang stretched his neck and looked at the pot: "No! Would you like to buy more packages?"
"Forget it!" Zi Yang waved his hand and said, "The dry food we brought saves some use. When we went out to climb the mountain today, everyone dropped by to pick some wild fruits, dig some wild vegetables, etc., I and Xiao Hei will see if we can catch two. A hare."
"Ah? You want to eat the cute little bunny, you are so cruel!" Xiaoli frowned and said. She quietly let go of the fat rabbit that Xiao Hei had caught before, but she didn't expect that Zi Yang would still refuse to let go of these cute little lives.
Zi Yang patted Lao Wang's stomach and said, "Xiaoli, you are a vegetarian, but your brother Wang is a meatless person. He was so hungry that he secretly chewed on your feet at night!"
"Yeah! Brother Wang is not as disgusting as you said!"
"Don't believe it? Or let's make a bet, you sleep in a tent with Lao Wang at night, and see if he bites you..." Zi Yang has already regarded teasing Xiaoli as a great joy in life. This nasty joke made Xiao Shao frown again and again.
"Okay, it's getting late, everyone pack your things and get ready to go-no matter what happens, you must hurry back to the camp before the sun goes down." Su Rui confessed to everyone seriously:
"Everyone is equipped with a set of simple mountaineering equipment. Everyone brings a day's rations and water. The food in the wild must be tested for non-toxicity before eating. In addition, each team brings a first aid kit with a flashlight and emergency medicine. Here is the mobile phone. There is no signal, everyone uses the walkie-talkie to contact."
After Su Rui arranged, everyone began to separate their equipment.
Among this group of people, except Xiaoli, everyone else has a certain amount of field exploration experience, so the preparation work is also very familiar.
After packing up, Su Rui handed a walkie-talkie to Lao Wang and told him, "The effective distance is 10 kilometers, please contact us if you have any questions."
Lao Wang nodded: "Look at it! Make sure to bring them all beards and tails back. If you have any questions, you will ask me."
"Hey, Sister Rui, don't you set off together?" Xiaoli was carrying a big mountaineering bag, she was fully equipped, and she looked a bit like a mountaineer.
"I'm afraid you will lose your cry! Let you 5 kilometers first!" Zi Yang leaned lazily on the door frame, squinting to enjoy the sun. At this time, his hair was disheveled, and his clothes for the night were not changed. He was equipped for climbing. It didn't make the whole thing either, it seemed that I couldn't get out within half an hour.
"Okay, okay, you are great, cousin, Lao Wang, let's go!" Xiaoli made a face at Zi Yang and stuck her tongue out, turned around and walked out.
Brother Xiaosha looked at Su Rui and nodded vigorously: "Be careful all the way!"
"Don't worry about them, now you're with me, let's hurry up!" Old Wang pushed Xiaosha out of the courtyard, and winked with Zi Yang.
Seeing the backs of the three people disappear in the village, the lazy Zi Yang straightened up suddenly, his eyes no longer looked like sleeping or waking up. He scanned the surroundings vigilantly, and whistled softly with his fingers on his lips.
With a "hula" above his head, Jin Guoqiang in camouflage turned in from outside the wall.
"Fuck, old Jin, your way of playing the game always makes me undefeated!" Zi Yang said with an exaggeration over his chest. Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, he would still be surprised by him.
Jin Guoqiang nodded to the two of them as a greeting.
"Is Wang Juan getting better?" Su Rui asked caringly.
"Much better! Thank you for your medicine." Jin Guoqiang said gratefully.
Su Rui said politely: "It's nothing, it should be. If there is anything else you need help, just say."
Jin Guoqiang nodded, turned around and said to Zi Yang, "Are you all ready?"
Zi Yang nodded: "I'm ready, just waiting for you."
It turned out that after careful consideration last night, Zi Yang finally told Jin Guoqiang about the plan to explore the deep water pool, but Jin Guoqiang did not seem to be interested in their plan and advised them to leave early. It would be dangerous to stay here.
Helplessly, Zi Yang's attitude was very firm, and he must explore the deep water pool, and said that it has nothing to do with Professor Zhang or Professor Su this time, it is purely his own personal business. When Jin Guoqiang asked him about his personal affairs, Zi Yang hesitated and didn't want to talk about it. Finally, I just put a sentence: "Old Jin, whether you have you or not, I will decide this deep water pool. You can figure it out by yourself."
Jin Guoqiang hesitated for a while, and finally said: "In this case, I will help you once, but let me say that if the situation is not right, I can stop the operation at any time."
Zi Yang nodded: "Okay, brother listen to you."
At the moment, the two agreed that Jin Guoqiang would come to join them after Zi Yang broke away from his brother Xiaosha the next day.
"Xiao Hei, help me."
Zi Yang and Xiao Hei took out the suitcase with diving equipment from the house. In order to cover up these devices, Zi Yang also took great pains to go to the second-hand market to buy a few large suitcases. After the box was opened, oxygen cylinders, diving suits, respirators and other equipment wrapped in plastic film and sponge were exposed.
Jin Guoqiang looked at these brand-new equipment and nodded: "I didn't expect that you have prepared everything."
"That's it, it cost the old nose money!" Zi Yang took the oxygen cylinder out and placed it on the ground. Su Rui and Jin Guoqiang came over to help him assemble the equipment.
This time they prepared a total of two wetsuits and a backup system. After packing them up, the group of four set off for the deep water pool.
"Zi Yang, how much do you know about diving?" Jin Guoqiang walked in the front and suddenly asked.
"I learned two tricks from Su Rui, and there is no big problem to deal with this kind of small water pool-I think it is a bit redundant for us to prepare so many things. This kind of small pool may be pierced to the end in a fierce man, and there is no need to wear a diving suit." Zi Yang Said nonchalantly.
Jin Guoqiang was silent for a few seconds, and said in a low voice, "Don't underestimate the download address of the 31 novel app. Do you remember those discoveries we made last year?"
Zi Yang looked terrified and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, this pool is really weird-did Professor Zhang come to explore this place afterwards?"
Jin Guoqiang said without looking back, "I am not very clear... You can judge for yourself when you get there later."
"Captain Jin, I have something to ask." Su Rui, who has been silent, suddenly said.
"Well, you said."
"Why are the people in this village gone? Where did they go?"
Jin Guoqiang stopped, turned his head to look at the two of them, and said with a deep voice, “After the last accident, the place was cleared. One month after we returned to the county seat, Professor Zhang issued a report saying that Qinhan Village is still there. There is a potential danger, and there is still a possibility of an outbreak in Tianding Lake. The villagers were forcibly moved. It is said that there were conflicts when they moved the villagers. After all the villagers were moved, Professor Zhang sent someone to block the area."
"How do I feel that there is a taste of conspiracy in this?" Zi Yang frowned and said, since knowing the true face of Professor Zhang, now all things related to him, Zi Yang feels that there is a conspiracy in it.
Jin Guoqiang nodded: "I also think there is something strange in this. After the investigation, my superiors ordered me to handover work with Professor Zhang. The rest of the affairs were taken over by Professor Zhang and his scientific research team, and all of us were withdrawn."
Zi Yang touched his chin and said, "Obviously, Professor Zhang has spent so much effort, definitely not for the simple scientific work. He sealed this place, there must be some ulterior motive."
Jin Guoqiang turned and continued to move forward: "Professor Zhang, like you, seems to be very interested in this deep pool."
"Really? Do you have any evidence?" Zi Yang asked tentatively.
"You'll know when you get there." Jin Guoqiang quickened his pace and walked to the deep pool in the center of the basin.
Zi Yang, Su Rui, Xiao Hei and others followed behind him with their equipment, and everyone soon came to the pond with dense water and grass. After passing through the grass that was "ambushed" yesterday, Zi Yang involuntarily touched his neck. Although the wound was scarred, it still made Zi Yang's scalp tight.
The grass became more luxuriant as you walked in. When you reached the edge of the pool, everyone was no longer among the tall reeds.
"Strange, when I came here last year, there weren't so many bushes and reeds by the water pool!" Zi Yang carried heavy equipment on his back, and after struggling to pull the reeds away with both hands, his eyes suddenly opened up.
A pool of deep blue water lay in front of everyone. The water was very clear, and the sand and gravel and the tails of the aquatic plants could be seen with the naked eye. The deeper the water, the deeper the water, the color also changed from green to light blue to dark blue until the center had turned into blue-black.
Zi Yang suddenly felt that the surface area of the water was much larger than what he saw last year.
"Look there!" Su Rui exclaimed, pointing at a dozen meters to the left.
Zi Yang followed the direction of Su Rui's finger and saw a yellow excavator lying on the bottom of the water in the distance!
