This heavy rain fell for a day and night, and Zi Yang was worried that the whole village would be flooded, and he didn't even dare to sleep peacefully.
I woke up dimly the next day and looked outside. The rain was still falling and the village was fine.
Qinhan Village is big or small, and it is not small. Hundreds of families are scattered on the slope south of the valley. The terrain of the entire village is a natural spillway, no matter how heavy the rain is, there will be no accumulation of water.
Zi Yang stood there observing the quiet Qinhan Village in the rain, and couldn't help but sigh secretly for the wisdom of the ancients. This village is estimated to have a history of more than a thousand years. I don't know how many ups and downs it has experienced, but it still stands tall. After only a day of heavy rain, I was worried about being flooded. It was really unfounded.
Zi Yang looked up at the still continuous heavy rain, remembering something in his heart, and suddenly frowned.
Now he is worried that all the precipitation in the valley will be concentrated in the two rivers and pools, and the water level will definitely rise sharply. I don't know if it will cause trouble for diving.
Su Rui walked over and stood behind him, and said softly: "Such a heavy rain, the current must be very urgent, in this case diving will be very dangerous."
Su Rui might want to remind Zi Yang that he can't dive rashly in this kind of weather-in fact, even if the wind is fine, Zi Yang doesn't want to go anymore. He was embarrassed to speak because of face.
It’s his idea to come here to explore. It’s not easy to drag so many people and equipment to this remote mountain village. It’s too shameful to give up so easily—especially to spend so much money on the equipment. .
"Wait a minute, the rain is a lot smaller than yesterday, let's see the situation after the rain stops." Zi Yang said dullly.
Lao Wang heard the voice of the two and poked his head out of the tent, "It's still raining? I'll go, I was bored in the house for a day, and I have mushrooms!"
Because of the heavy rain outside, they simply put the tent away and pitched it inside the house. This house has a total of two bedrooms, east and west, with a hall and kitchen in the middle, which just fits three tents.
The rain made the room very damp, everyone felt wet and uncomfortable sleeping. Nothing can be done in this kind of weather, and everyone can only sit in the house boringly.
When they came, they didn't prepare any entertainment equipment, and now they have nothing to do except stare at each other with big eyes. Pharaoh had an idea and wanted to draw a playing card by himself for everyone's entertainment.
The rain in summer came and went quickly. As it approached noon, the torrential rain stopped suddenly. Seeing the speed of the dark clouds dissipating, it seemed that the sky would be clear in an hour. Everyone couldn't help showing joy, and spent the day in the damp room. Everyone couldn't wait to come out to relax.
There is a smell of fresh earth in the air after the rain, and it smells refreshing. Even Xiaoli was in a good mood, walking tremblingly into the yard to breathe fresh air with the help of Brother Chiao.
Lao Wang started to wash the pot and boil water after he was busy, and he was ready to have lunch to celebrate.
Su Rui saw that Brother Xiaosha and Xiaoli were looking at the scenery outside, and called him softly, and pulled Zi Yang into the back room together.
"We have to hurry up and continue diving, but Zhiqiu is more troublesome here." Su Rui said embarrassedly.
"It's easy to say," Zi Yang patted Lao Wang on the shoulder: "Lao Wang, you will lead Brother Xiao Shao away today and take him to the mountains and picking mushrooms."
"Damn! Why is it me again? I won't go! I want to chat with Lao Jin!" Lao Wang said dissatisfiedly.
Zi Yang had secretly told Lao Wang about Jin Guoqiang. After hearing that Jin Guoqiang was also hiding here, this guy suffocated his energy to find Lao Jin Xujiu.
"I want to dive with Su Rui, you go to Lao Jin to chat, who will stare at Brother Xiaosha? Besides, we move things in and out, and it is not convenient to move without him." Zi Yang persuaded him bitterly.
"I don't care, whoever of you likes to go, I'm awkward with Xiaosha, and I won't go to kill me." Old Wang began to play his temper.
"What to do?" Su Rui looked at Zi Yang helplessly.
"Then beat it to death!" Zi Yang said blankly. "It's all you provoke. You don't care about it now?"
Of course, Zi Yang was just complaining, he couldn't really kill Lao Wang, and he couldn't beat him.
The final result of the discussion is that Xiao Hei and Xiao Shao go to play game and pick mushrooms. Lao Wang accompanied Xiaoli in the camp to recuperate. Su Rui and Zi Yang sneaked out to dive.
Lao Wang was quite satisfied with this plan, patted his stomach and said, "I'm hungry, I have a good lunch today. Let the rain stop and celebrate!"
Once a foodie becomes greedy, anything can be a reason to celebrate.
The rabbit and chicken they stewed last night were only half a small piece left. Lao Wang mixed these animal remains with instant noodles and cooked a big pot, and the taste turned out to be very good! Everyone had lunch beautifully. Zi Yang also unceremoniously ate three bowls.
After eating, Lao Wang flipped through the empty box containing instant noodles and deliberately shouted, "Ah, what should I do? The instant noodles are finished! We will be hungry if we don't want to raise food and grass."
"This is easy to say, then we will restore the original social system of men's farming and women's weaving. Men go out to eat, women sew at home, repair, wash, and rinse." Zi Yang said.
"Hey, this is a good idea. Just go to the mountains and go to the countryside to experience life-in order to improve labor productivity, I suggest that we act in groups." Lao Wang and Zi Yang sang and talked about each other, and bluffed the handsome brother. Dumbfounded.
"Xiaoli has an injury on her foot. I suggest that Pharaoh and Su Rui switch their identities. You accompany Xiaoli to watch the house in the camp. I will suffer a little, and I will have a group with Su Rui. Xiaohei will have a group with Xiaosha Go out separately to find food." Zi Yang took out a set of rhetoric that he had prepared.
Lao Wang applauded and said, "I think this Qinhan Village is sparsely populated, rich in resources, and vast. There is a lot to do!"
Although Xiaosha was very reluctant to accept such an arrangement, he was light-hearted and hard to sing alone. In addition, Zi Yang and Lao Wang had said everything that should have been said, which was justified and well-founded, leaving him no room for resistance at all. I had no choice but to accept this result, and watched Zi Yang "snatch away" Su Rui again.
After everyone had a rest, they packed their things and got ready to set off.
Zi Yang secretly told Xiao Hei to take Brother Xiao Shao out for a little more shopping, and don't come back until dark-of course, we still need to pay attention to protecting Brother Xiao Shao's safety.
"I wish you a happy home!" Zi Yang shouted loudly behind the two of them.
Watching Brother Xiaosha and Xiao Hei go away, Lao Wang turned his head to look at Zi Yang gloating and said, "Lao Li, is it too cruel for you to fool people like this? You were diving there and let Brother Xiaosha go out to work. At night, he doesn't see you get anything back, wouldn't he lose his temper?"
"It's easy to handle, I said that I twisted my ankle, and we gave up halfway." Zi Yang said with a weird voice watching Xiaoli sitting in the distance sketching.
While Pharaoh was going to pester Xiaoli, Zi Yang and Su Rui smuggled out the equipment needed for diving in the afternoon. Jin Guoqiang met them at the back of the house, and the three of them walked to the deep water pool carrying the box.
"If the water level is not high, we will find a reed bush on the shore to hide things in, and the province will be found." Zi Yang said smartly, and couldn't help but hate the old king a bit, if it weren't for this. If the guy takes Xiaoli and Brother Xiaosao on his own terms, how can they use it so troublesome.
"Well, we have to speed up the progress. We can't keep acting like Zhiqiu and Xiaoli, bringing so many things in and out, they will become suspicious sooner or later." Su Rui also said.
Jin Guoqiang nodded: "I hope the water level will not rise too much, otherwise it will be very troublesome."
Everyone thought in their hearts that the water level would rise sharply after heavy rains, but when they walked near the pool, the three of them stood there in a daze.
"What's the matter? Why didn't the water level increase at all?" Zi Yang looked at the deep water pool and said in surprise.
After a day and night of heavy rains, the water surface still maintained where it was yesterday. Although the reeds and grasses were tossed by wind and rain, they were not submerged by water. The pool is still the same size as I saw yesterday, but the water quality has become a lot turbid.
"It is very likely that there is underground water flow under the water pool! The accumulated water has flowed out from the ground, so the water level can always remain the same." Su Rui judged.
"Then you should pay attention when you go down. If there is an undercurrent, it is a great threat to diving." Jin Guoqiang reminded.
The three put their equipment in the reeds, and Su Rui first changed into wet suits in the reeds, and then put the rebreather on Zi Yang. After listening to Su Rui's introduction of the working principle of this respirator, Jin Guoqiang couldn't help but praise it, saying that he had never seen such an advanced underwater breathing apparatus in the special forces.
Su Rui opened another box. Inside this box was a yellow machine, less than half a meter long, round and round, like a miniature torpedo.
"This is an underwater drone. There are cameras and searchlights in the front, and propellers in the back. You can remotely control the drone through this cable. Here is the console and monitoring screen. Captain Jin can operate it on the shore." Su Rui pointed out to Jin Guoqiang that there was an instrument like a laptop in the box.
Jin Guoqiang nodded, "I can use this."
Jin Guoqiang lifted the underwater drone and put it in the water, returned to the shore and turned on the power, gently shaking the joystick with his hand, and the drone turned gently in the water. The underwater picture in front of the drone is displayed on the surveillance screen.
Because of the rainstorm, the water quality was very muddy and the visibility in the lens was also very low.
Su Rui saw that Jin Guoqiang was very proficient in his operation and felt relieved that he knew that he had received this training. At the moment, Zi Yang and Zi Yang checked each other's diving equipment.
Jin Guoqiang hesitated and said, "Zi Yang, I have a question. Is there any intended purpose for your expedition? Why do you have to insist on entering the water?"
Zi Yang looked at Su Rui and said to Jin Guoqiang: "I watched the sky at night and found that the sky above the Qinhan Village is the stars sinking and the moon is falling, and the crape myrtle is bright. There is an ancient cemetery below."
"The cemetery? How come you, like Li Tianming, started to find dragons and acupuncture points." Jin Guoqiang frowned and said. It seems that Li Tianming, a liar, was pitted, and he is still thinking about it.
"You can't say that, Li Tianming's practice is feng shui superstition. This is a scientific expedition, which is essentially different." Zi Yang and Jin Guoqiang said nonchalantly.
After everything was prepared, Zi Yang and Su Rui entered the water together, standing next to the drone, holding their hands on the left and right armrests of the drone.
Su Rui put on the mask and made an OK gesture with Zi Yang.
There is no pre-installed walkie-talkie in Zi Yang's respirator, so he can only communicate with Su Rui using gestures.
Su Rui said to Jin Guoqiang, "Okay, do it."
Jin Guoqiang nodded and controlled the underwater drone to advance downward. Zi Yang and Su Rui used the power of the drone to swim slowly toward the depths of the pool.
