Chapter Eight Uncle Fifth Diving to Find the Corpse
The two people glanced at me, and then told me to hold on to what I was holding, especially Uncle Wu. He said that if something happens after the two of us go down, only I can save their lives, so I can't be careless.
.
My face became serious, and my heart beat a little faster. Somehow, from this moment on, I felt as if I was walking on a mysterious road, and this road would slowly confirm the speculation in my heart.
Soon the two of them found a boat. The hull was old but not leaking. After they got on the boat, they asked me to stay on the shore.
I held my breath and watched the two of them walk into the water little by little. Their voices were not deliberately lowered, so I could hear some of them.
"Second brother, please be careful. This time our lives are at stake. If it doesn't work out, we'll both be done with it."
"Don't worry, aren't you still worried about what I'm doing?"
After Chang Xiao finished speaking, he took out some things from his package and placed them on the bow of the boat, including yellow paper, copper coins, red thread, and even cinnabar.
I was puzzled, thinking why Chang Xiao brought cinnabar. This is water, so even if there is cinnabar, it doesn't seem to matter, right?
Just when I was getting curious, Chang Xiao kept mumbling something. I saw him threading the copper coins and red thread together in his hands, and after being stained with cinnabar, he threw them directly into the water.
Surprisingly, the cinnabar did not melt when it fell into the water, but stuck tightly to the copper coins.
Finally, I saw what Chang Xiao wrote on the yellow paper. After finishing writing, Chang Xiao threw the yellow paper into the water.
At that moment, I suddenly felt that the wind around me seemed to be much colder.
I closed my collar and didn't dare to speak at all, for fear of disturbing the two of them.
At the same time, something strange happened. The moment the yellow paper fell into the water, it spontaneously ignited without igniting.
The ignited fire turned out to be green. I chewed the saliva hard and my calves kept trembling.
"Damn it, this bitch doesn't even want to come up!"
Suddenly, Uncle Wu's voice rang in my ears, and I looked at the two people in the distance in surprise.
I...why did I suddenly hear so clearly?
I wasn't surprised that I could hear their conversation. After all, we were not very far away. As long as the two of them didn't lower their voices intentionally, I could hear them.
But what happened just now?
Uncle Wu’s voice just now seemed to be speaking right into my ear!
I was shocked and suddenly took out the black dagger in my hand.
The moment the dagger appeared, my ears were finally clear.
call!
I took a deep breath and stared at the boat in the water.
It seems that I can only understand what happened after they both get ashore.
"No matter what, we've already come down, how can we let her run away? Besides, my family has given us a lot of money, so it's impossible to go back like this.
I, Wang Laohu, haven’t seen anything happen? He’s just a Shenzi, but he still can’t hold me down!”
At this time, I was still confused as to why it was said to be money. It was not until later that I understood that people who work in Wushu's profession cannot be so careful.
On the one hand, the people below don't like to hear it, and on the other hand, it's also because the money of the living is different from the money of the dead. If you say something wrong, it will be dangerous when you pick up the corpse, so there are many taboos.
I saw the two of them discussing something, and then Uncle Wu took off his clothes.
Uncle Wu's figure is on the thin side, but surprisingly he still has quite a lot of muscles.
Especially the scar on Uncle Wu's back. The scar is about 20 centimeters long and 3 centimeters wide. It goes from the left shoulder to the lower right waist.
You can imagine how dangerous Uncle Wu was at that time.
Looking along Uncle Wu's waist, I discovered that there was a pile of hemp rope wrapped around his waist.
The rope was very thick, and there were two steel hooks at the beginning. There seemed to be something on the hooks, but because it was a bit far away and it was too dark, I couldn't see clearly.
Uncle Wu jumped directly with a plop. The strange thing was that there were no water marks after Uncle Wu jumped.
If the diving champion were here, I would probably admire him a bit.
Before going down, Uncle Wu handed one end of the rope to Master Chang Xiao, who then put it on and pulled the rope.
I know that if Uncle Wu is in danger or the body is pulled up, the master will pull the rope immediately.
Time passed by minute by minute, and ten minutes later I said anxiously: "Master, why hasn't Uncle Wu come up yet? Is it..."
"Shut up, kid. Didn't I tell you not to speak?"
Before I could finish speaking, the master's curse came over.
Although I knew in my heart that the master didn't want anything to happen to me, so he didn't let me speak, but my fifth uncle had been down there for so long and there was no movement, so how could I not be worried.
Before I could continue, the master's voice came again: "Don't worry, your fifth uncle won't burp so easily. He's a very good diver. I think he'll be up in about five minutes."
Sure enough, just when I was sweating profusely, Uncle Wu suddenly emerged from the water.
"You are getting older and have no strength, aren't you? Why did it take you so long?"
As soon as Uncle Wu appeared, the master pulled him onto the boat and started teasing him. Uncle Wu glared at the master and said, "I don't know what's going on down there. I found the body, but I can't pull it away."
"What? Can't pull it? Is it stuck?"
Obviously the master was also shocked. There were only two situations in which the body could not come up. The first was that it was hung up or stuck by something and the body could not float up on its own.
The second type is that the corpse does not want to come up, and at the same time it becomes a sinker.
There are many types of situations for Shen Zi, and if you are not careful, you will be implicated.
Uncle Wu thought about it for a while and said in a deep voice, "I'll go down again later. The job this time is a bit tricky. The little guy on the shore will probably help."
The master naturally knew what was going on. He looked back at me on the shore, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, this guy is master's son and not that cowardly. You can go down later and we will be on top."
I listened to the master and followed him on the boat. It was impossible not to be nervous, especially when I looked at the pitch black water around me, I felt even more scared.
Chang Xiao smiled and patted me on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, your master, I won't let anything happen to you. I may go down with him later. If something happens, just hold the rope."
"ah?"
My eyes widened for a moment, and my face was full of anxiety; "Master, are you going down too? But...but I can't pull it up by myself."
It's not that I don't dare to pull a corpse, but it's my first time doing this and I don't know how to handle it. This chapter has been completed!
