[Tomb Notes bg] Lost Notes

"Is there any special circumstance when throwing the body that the right palm is missing? Or was it cut off artificially?" The fat man said, "Could it be that these people are all bears, whose paws were chopped up and stewed in secret dishes?"

Nan Xing frowned: "If it was cut off, what's the reason?"

The fat man suddenly thought of something, and said again: "Or is it possible that after they dumped the corpse back then, the corpse was fished up and reprocessed?"

"Impossible," Zhang Qiling said suddenly, "Look at the wrist bones of these corpses."

Nan Xing looked at one of them carefully, frowned and said, "It's so strange."

Immediately afterwards, I went to confirm the conditions of the other corpses. "The wrist bones of these people have no traces of being cut by a knife. Their right palms seem to have fallen off naturally, and the joints of the wrists are all there."

"Let's stop guessing here, let's go down and have a look, maybe we can find any clues." The fat man said as he put on his helmet.

He dived down to search a few more times, but found nothing near the fence. The fat man suspected that the bones had sunk into the ancient village inside the fence.

Nan Xing looked at the fat man and understood that he wanted to dive directly into the ancient village, so he said, "Let's discuss first, the inside of the village is several meters deeper than the outside, and this kind of lake-bottom exploration is too dangerous. No one has tested it, maybe some ancient villages are already very fragile and will collapse when touched, we need more complete diving equipment, otherwise our lives will be in danger at the bottom of the water."

"We can't wait for the diving equipment. It will take at least a week for Tianzheng to come back. The little brother's house was burned, and we have already cut off the clue once. This time, we can't wait any longer. What will happen if we don't have it all?" Fatty couldn't wait. I just want to go down again.

With Wu Xie not around, Zhang Qiling wouldn't gossip, and it was impossible for Agui to refute the boss.

Nan Xing sighed, "That's it, don't salvage anything this time. When the time comes, no matter whether you find anything or not, we will directly pull you up."

The fat man agreed and dived down.

Nan Xing looked at his watch, and when the time was up, he and Zhang Qiling pulled the rope up at the same time.

After pulling it a few times, the rope suddenly stretched straight, and it couldn't be pulled no matter how much I pulled it, as if it was bitten by something underneath.If you pull again, the feeling is not right, and the strength of the rope becomes much smaller, and it is very light to pull.

When I pulled it up, the fat man had disappeared, and there was only a helmet on the rope.

Nan Xing gasped and looked at Zhang Qiling.

"Nan Xing, you stay up there to respond." Zhang Qiling immediately put on the helmet he had scooped up, and jumped down.

Nan Xing pulled the rope, concentrating on counting the time, his heart tormented every second.

After 1 minute, the rope did not move, and the lake was calm without any waves.In principle, she should continue to wait, at least until the previously agreed 3 minutes.

But the uneasiness that has been lingering in her heart these days has made her feel more and more intense that they have fallen into a treacherous and dangerous situation.

If Zhang Qiling is also in danger, no matter how good his skills are, he will inevitably be limited underwater.

Nan Xing took a deep breath and tried to pull the rope back. The familiar feeling came back. After pulling out of the water, he found that the same situation happened again. The other end of the rope, Zhang Qiling, was gone, only the diving helmet remained.

It still happened!

Nan Xing's heart tightened, he quickly put on his helmet and jumped into the water.

She entered the water in a hurry, not long after she entered the water, she suddenly felt something move behind her, and she was about to turn around when she lost consciousness the next moment.

-

Nan Xing woke up because of the strong stimulation coming from his chest.

Coughing to relieve the discomfort in her lungs, Nan Xing frowned and opened her eyes with difficulty, only to see Zhang Qiling sitting beside her, looking at her without saying a word.She met his gaze, and couldn't tell whether it was an illusion or reality in a trance.

"Finally woke up!" Fatty's voice instantly called Nan Xing's three souls and seven souls back to their places.

They are still alive!

This was the first thought in Nan Xing's mind. At that moment, all the worries and anxieties in his heart disappeared at the same time, his eyes were sour, but he couldn't help laughing.

"Why are you here?" the fat man came over and asked.

"Here? So you didn't rescue me here?" Nan Xing sat up on his back, aware of the hidden meaning in the fat man's words, and his heart sank.

The fat man shook his head with a strange expression, and asked again: "You were at the bottom of the lake, did you feel like you were bitten by something and passed out?"

Nan Xing nodded, a dangerous intuition rose in her heart.

"Same as us." Fatty said, and glanced at Zhang Qiling.

Zhang Qiling looked at Nan Xing with dim eyes.

Nan Xing fully understood that the three of them all suddenly appeared in this cave.

She stood up and looked around the hole, "Where is the exit of this hole? How about we go out first and then check it out slowly."

"We can't get out, there is no exit here." Zhang Qiling turned his head to look at Nan Xing, and said calmly.

Nan Xing stared at Zhang Qiling in a daze, his face changed slightly.

Zhang Qiling noticed this detail, picked up the torch standing on one side, and walked to the hole on the other side.

Nan Xing followed.

The torch turned around in the entire hole, not to mention the mouth, except for a wrist-thick crack that seeped water, the rest of the place was all one, and the entire hole seemed to be dug out from the inside.

There is no food, only the water seeping from the crevices, which can barely support survival.

After careful observation, it can be seen that this hole should have been a mine for mining jade at the beginning, and there are some logs left over from the previous excavation in the hole, which can be used to make fire.

But it can't last too long.

I continued to grope in the cave for nearly two weeks, and every wall of the entire cave was groped hundreds of times without any mechanism.

The cave is very heat-storing, and the heat from the burning torches accumulates inside, baking the originally cool cave like a steamer.

The fat man couldn't bear it at first, he took off only his underwear, didn't eat for a while, and after losing weight, his loose skin hung down.

Zhang Qiling only took off his shirt at first, revealing his smooth upper body.At the back, he simply took it off and moved around in the hole with only his underwear on.

Nan Xing is already a buddhist, and when faced with Zhang Qiling's hanger-like figure, he remained calm, and he completely got rid of the embarrassment he felt when he first met him in Beijing.Maybe when a person is in a desperate situation, his mind will be sublimated to become more pure, so pure that he just wants to live.

Nan Xing tore off a piece of the sleeve of his clothes, and washed his face with the water seeping in from the gap.

She looked into the gap like a routine task, and suddenly, she saw the only thing that was different in so many days.

A salamander swims in the gap.

She called Zhang Qiling and Fatty over, and the three began to discuss how to use this fish to convey the message.

"Have you noticed that at night here, the seepage water outside will shrink regularly, and the sound is very obvious, like breathing." Nan Xing asked.

"Hmm. Such a loud sound means that this place is very close to the siphon tide at the bottom of the lake." Zhang Qiling said.

"Then let's do this, leave a message on the salamander, put it back, if Tianzheng comes back to find us and finds this fish, drawn near the opening of the siphon tide, you may find the crack leading here." Fatty proposal.

It sounds like the odds of success are low.

Not to mention that you can't control the route of the salamander, whether you can be seen by Wu Xie depends on luck.

Even if it can be found, the route that fish can swim, people may not be able to pass.

However, even with so many uncertainties, this is the only way they can currently implement it.

"Calculating the time, it's time for Lao Wu to buy equipment and come back. If you want to start, you have to start now." Nan Xing looked at the perpetual calendar on the watch.

They found a flashlight with the most power, and the fat man carved a line of words on it: SOS, follow the siphon tide.

Can't engrave any more.

After tying the flashlight to the baby fish, Zhang Qiling put a layer of waterproof tape on the flashlight.

Finally, put the salamander back into the gap, and when the salamander flicked its tail, it disappeared like lightning.
