Just as he finished speaking, there was another loud noise in the sky, and then a bolt of white lightning struck down, illuminating the dark sky like daylight.
"Boom!"
Following the brief flash of lightning, everyone was surprised to find that three huge vortices appeared directly in the sky.
They turned their heads to look at the river, and saw that big waves began to blow on the river.
The crane driver suddenly shouted to Chen Wenjin: "Captain Chen, look at the coffin, it's moving!"
The strong wind was raging in the Sanjiashan River Basin, and the river was swept up by the strong wind, as if it wanted to swallow everything.
Through the light of lightning, you can clearly see that there are countless boats on the river rowing hard towards this side.
However, something unexpected happened, and the sudden change in the river surface caused the ship that was about to dock to be swept into the waves again.
The boat was getting farther and farther away, and there were waves of frightened shouts on the river: "The wind is picking up, everyone row quickly, or we will all be drowned here!"
"Village Chief, the Water Dragon King is angry. If this continues, we will all die!"
"Yes, this is the Water Dragon King punishing us!"
These sounds became fragmented in the strong wind and were difficult to identify when they reached the riverside.
But the village chief saw clearly that this sudden strong wind put all the villagers in danger.
On the river, you will never get out of the boat when encountering strong winds or heavy rain. This is a rule passed down from generation to generation.
But today, this rule has been thrown aside by people, just because someone wants to salvage the Zhenjiang dragon coffin.
The Zhenjiang dragon coffin is something that Mr. Yin and Yang has repeatedly warned not to touch.
However, today, someone desperately organized people to salvage it.
Looking at the increasing wind and the coming heavy rain, Chen Wenjin said anxiously to the village chief: "Village chief, you see the wind is so strong and it's going to rain soon. Please let the villagers go back!"< br>
But she obviously underestimated the determination of the village chief and the people of Sanjiashan Village. The village chief turned back and glared at Chen Wenjin, and shouted angrily: "You still have the nerve to ask us to go back? If you hadn't secretly salvaged Zhenjiang ancient coffins, we would have come here in the middle of the night? Don't you know where this strong wind came from? Have you forgotten what happened when you salvaged the ancient coffin? This strong wind was caused by the fact that you salvaged the ancient coffin and angered the Water Dragon King!"
The village chief's eyes widened. He glanced at the people who were working on the construction and shouted loudly: "If someone falls into the water and drowns in our Sanjia Mountain today, you will be the murderer! Because it is you who angered the Water Dragon King! The Water Dragon King Such a strong wind came down when you were angry!”
Chen Wenjin shook his head helplessly and tried to refute: "Village Chief, weather changes are physical phenomena and have nothing to do with the Water Dragon King. When hot and cold air meet, it will rain. You should know this, or your son or grandson will do it when they go to school. You should have learned. Why are you so stubborn?”
The village chief snorted coldly and looked at Chen Wenjin coldly: "Stop talking to me about those useless things. It was you people who insisted on salvaging some ancient coffin last time. What was the result? Did two people die? Was it just now? As soon as the ancient coffin is moved, the weather changes Changed? I have never seen such a scary dragon sucking water, but it happened after you moved the ancient coffin! Who is so stubborn if you don’t learn a lesson and want to take advantage of this ancient coffin?”
Chen Wenjin took a deep breath and knew that reasoning with the village chief would not work.
At this time, the construction team behind her couldn't help but speak: "Team Chen, why are you talking nonsense to him? Our salvage of ancient coffins is approved by the state and has a red-headed document. Why bother talking to them so much? It's a waste of time!"
"Yes, coming here to salvage at night is enough to delay things. Now you have to take care of them. Why?"
"Captain Chen, please hurry up. I really can't go back too late. Isn't it just a coffin? Does it need so much trouble?"
"Stop nagging them, can you just take out the documents and show them to them?"
Hearing the complaints from the team members, Chen Wenjin was in a dilemma.
She touched her forehead, sighed and said: "Village Chief, we really don't want to come here to salvage the coffin. You are right. After what happened last time, I don't want to come here at all. But I can't help it. This is the meaning of the leader. Moreover, this ancient coffin is a historical relic with archaeological value. It should not be buried deep underground, even if there is no order from our superiors. We have an obligation to bring it back to light. Now that we have the order from above, we are even more obligated to do so. To put it bluntly, even if it is you, the local public security bureau has no right to interfere with our work. Come home, it’s windy outside, don’t ask your villagers to come here and cause trouble. If you really stop us, you are obstructing official business, and you are breaking the law.”
The village chief's face turned green and red, and he stared at Chen Wenjin. After taking a few breaths, he said loudly: "Bah! Why did I break the law? Why did I break the law when I asked you not to salvage this coffin? Even if it is It’s against the law, so do you know what you are doing? You are killing us!”
As soon as he finished speaking, another bolt of lightning pierced the night sky, followed by thunder.
Chen Wenjin looked at the increasingly bad weather and felt helpless. She thought that if it didn't work, she would wait until next time. It was really unrealistic to fish out the ancient coffin in this situation. What's more, it's really dangerous for so many villagers on the river in this weather.
However, at this moment she suddenly heard the crane driver shouting excitedly: "Team Chen! Move! The coffin is brought up!"
When he heard the news, the village chief turned his head in horror and saw a huge coffin slowly rising to the surface and floating towards their river bank.
But the next second, the water on the river suddenly seemed to be sucked away, and a huge vortex appeared in the center.
The villagers who were still rushing over the river were suddenly sucked in by the whirlpool.
"Oh, that's bad!" The village chief slapped his thigh and saw the fishing boat on the river being sucked into the whirlpool, and immediately rushed to the river in a hurry.
At this time, the coffin was almost pulled to the shore by the crane driver.
Chen Wenjin couldn't help but start to feel a little nervous, wondering if it really had something to do with the coffin?
But the most important thing for them as archaeologists is their belief in science. How can they do archeology if they believe in what ghosts and gods say?
So she did not stop the crane driver from continuing to salvage the ancient coffin. Instead, she shouted to the construction team behind her: "Get ready to rescue the villagers of Sanjiashan Village! Call the police immediately and tell them that someone is drowning here and ask them to come and rescue them quickly." !" After saying that, Chen Wenjin also ran to the river. The village chief, who originally didn't want them to salvage the ancient coffin, didn't like Chen Wenjin at all when he saw the current situation and complained: "I said this ancient coffin cannot be moved or moved! You just don't believe it! It's okay this time. ? Now someone is going to die! ”
Chen Wenjin looked at the village chief and quickly comforted him: "Village chief, don't worry. The ancient coffin has been salvaged. Even if it is put back, it will be too late. Let's think of a way to rescue the villagers!"
The village chief felt a surge of anger and shouted: "How to save? The Water Dragon King is angry. This is his punishment for us! Unless you put this coffin back, the Water Dragon King will definitely get angry again. Then we will The whole village must die!”
After saying that, the village chief knelt directly by the river, looked at the whirlpool in the river and shouted loudly: "Master Water Dragon King! You must calm down! It's our fault. We didn't keep an eye on the dragon coffin. Please take away your magical power and let us go." These people! If you want to punish these people who salvage the coffins, we are innocent!”
After hearing the village chief's words, Chen Wenjin shook his head helplessly again and did not continue to argue with the village chief. Instead, he glanced at the whirlpool on the river and thought, at this time, only Mr. Yin and Yang can save people, right? But where to find Mr. Yin and Yang now?
At this time, the people in the construction team began to become nervous when they saw this.
If someone died, even if they had documents stamped with red heads, they would inevitably be held accountable.
So everyone got busy, picked up the rope and lifebuoy and walked towards the river, ready to do their part to rescue the innocent villagers.
On a night of heavy rain, the sky seems to be swallowed up by endless darkness, and the raindrops are like dense drums, beating mercilessly on every inch of the land.
Dapeng stood not far away, and the anxious conversations of the villagers could be vaguely heard in his ears. Their voices seemed particularly weak in the wind and rain, but they carried a sense of urgency that was hard to ignore.
"This rain is likely to cause floods!" a villager said worriedly.
"Quick, we need to invite Mr. Yin Yang!" Another villager urged urgently.
Dapeng listened to these words and secretly rejoiced in his heart. He witnessed with his own eyes the villagers who fell into the whirlpool were miraculously rescued. This shock made him full of awe of the Water Dragon King.
After a quick search in his mind, he was convinced that no one except Zhang Hao could possess such magical powers.
Dapeng shook his head gently, and the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. Then he quickly edited a message and sent it to Chen Wenjin: "Team Chen, you guessed it right. It is indeed the big turtle we saw before. It Rescued all the villagers who fell into the water!”
At the same time, Chen Wenjin was standing by the river, her eyes locked on the other side, where the dragon coffin had been salvaged and was lying quietly on the truck, waiting for her order to be transported away.
However, Chen Wenjin has yet to make a decision, her eyes full of anxiety and uncertainty.
"What happened to those villagers?" She murmured to herself, her tone revealing her concern for the safety of the villagers.
At this moment, a dazzling white light pierced the night sky, followed by deafening thunder, as if the gods were roaring angrily.
Chen Wenjin was startled by the sudden sound, and then felt her phone vibrating in her pocket.
She hurriedly took out her mobile phone, and after seeing Dapeng's message, a relieved smile instantly broke out on her face.
"Great! It's good that they are fine!" Chen Wenjin murmured, looking towards the river again, but there were ripples in his heart. Is that giant turtle really the Water Dragon King? Does it really possess human intelligence? Or is it, as Zhang Hao said, the patron saint of this water area?
"Team Chen, what should we do next?" The crane driver's voice came from behind, interrupting Chen Wenjin's thoughts.
She frowned slightly, looked in the direction of Sanjia Mountain Village for the last time, then turned around resolutely, waved her hand and said: "Take the ancient coffin back first, remember to handle it with care, and don't drive too fast to avoid damaging the ancient coffin."
The crane driver nodded, started the vehicle, and said at the same time: "Don't worry, this ancient coffin is very heavy. I don't think it can get up quickly."
Chen Wenjin was still worried, so she simply sat in the passenger seat and warned solemnly: "After the ancient coffin is delivered, it must be disposed of as soon as possible and no one can be allowed to get close. Do you understand?"
The crane driver stepped on the accelerator, glanced at Chen Wenjin disapprovingly, and asked: "Team Chen, isn't it just a coffin? Are you too nervous?"
Chen Wenjin rolled her eyes and said angrily: "What do you know? This coffin is very evil. Last time our director was sent to a mental hospital because of this, and he hasn't come out yet."
The crane driver was stunned when he heard this. He had indeed heard about the director. He held the steering wheel with one hand, touched his chin with the other hand, and asked curiously: "I have also heard about the director. Didn't I say that at that time? Did Mr. Yin Yang tell people who were born in the year of Dragon and Snake to avoid it? Our director happened to be born in the year of Snake, but he was injured by the dragon spirit, so why did he become mentally ill?”
Chen Wenjin shook her head. She is still confused about what happened to the director.
"At that time, the hospital checked and said that the director's health was fine, but he became nagging after he woke up. There must be something wrong with this place. The same thing happened last time when the ancient coffin was salvaged, and this time the whole village was almost buried with him. ”
The crane driver glanced at the river behind him and said doubtfully: "That's not right. There are people in our construction team who were born in the year of Dragon and Snake. Why is it okay to fish out the coffin this time? If nothing else, I am a Snake, so I don't have any problems." What kind of dragon energy do you feel?”
Chen Wenjin suddenly turned her head to look at the crane driver, frowning, and asked in confusion: "What did you say? Are you a snake? Why are you okay?"
The crane driver was also puzzled, but he was indeed a snake, and there was nothing strange during the process of removing the coffin.
"Captain Chen, I think you may have been deceived last time. I am indeed a snake, but nothing happened to me. You have also seen it, haven't you? There are so many scammers now, and they are trying their best to defraud money. You may Just met a liar.”
Chen Wenjin frowned, looked the driver up and down, and couldn't help but feel suspicious.
Zhang Hao is definitely not a liar. They have seen Zhang Hao's ability before.
But why is the crane driver, a Snake person, safe and sound? According to Zhang Hao, people born in the year of Dragon and Snake should not get close when fishing for coffins.
While Chen Wenjin was filled with doubts, in the Yin Yang Inn on the other side, Fatty Wang was immersed in sleep.
Suddenly, a rapid ringing of the phone woke him up from his dream. (End of chapter)
