Chapter 64: Hu Ba's Water Well
"Well, Comrade Xiao Ming is right, we will know what the situation is when we go down." Professor Chen nodded in agreement.
Hu Ming said, "Then let Lao Hu take you down!"
"You don't want to go down?" Professor Chen frowned and said.
“No less.” After Hu Ming said that, he went to warm himself by the fire. The desert was indeed quite cold at night.
Hu Ming didn't remember that in the original work, Hu Bayi and Fatty brought a bright weapon with them when they returned to BJ.
Professor Chen said nothing more when he saw this. Hao Aiguo, Hu Bayi and others couldn't bear their excitement. They opened their backpacks, took out the suspended ladder and rope, and put on the gas masks of the engineer shovel Wait for the tools and walk towards the well.
"What are you doing?" An Liman stopped in front of everyone and shouted with an unhappy look on his face: "I know, you came to the desert to dig graves. There are things under the wells. Ancient tombs, do you want to dig up treasures?”
In An Liman’s view, digging tombs will be punished by Hu Da. Because that was the reason for him in the first place. Of all his brothers who went into the desert, he was the only one who survived.
"Brother, we are archaeologists and we have already shown you the documents before."
An Liman was very old-fashioned, which gave Professor Chen a headache. He couldn't explain clearly, so he could only patiently say kindly: "Brother, many ancient tombs in the Western Regions have been damaged. We are protecting the ancient tombs. The culture with archaeological research value inside is dedicated to the country, otherwise these cultural relics will be damaged if they are left underground for too long." His voice rose a little, and he seemed a little helpless.
"Maybe they will be poached by tomb robbers and sold abroad. This will be a huge loss to our country."
The second half of this sentence made Fatty and Hu Bayi feel sad His head thumped, and he looked at Professor Chen questioningly. Could this old man be referring to Sang and Huai? This shouldn't be...possible?
"Hey, I don't understand what you are talking about. I should have known you were like this. No matter how much I pay, I won't take you into the desert. Don't dig or go into the well. The water in that well gave us life. You can't treat it like this." With a stubborn look on his face, An Li was determined. Stop these poachers.
"Old man, I have tolerated you for a long time, please get out of my way."
The fat man with a bad temper pushed An Liman away, turned sideways, pointed at his wrinkled face and said: "Old man, please stop meddling in your own business, or I will kill your camel."
Want to stop the fat man from getting rich? You old man is probably tired of living!!
Deep in his heart, An Liman is only afraid of the fat man. He knows that the fat man can kill a camel, so he is angry He walked to the fire, sat down, and saw Hu Ming cleaning the fish scales, and said: "It's better to be Hu Ming's friend and not dig people's graves."
Now, An Liman appreciates Hu Ming even more. Ming character.
Hu Ming just smiled, said nothing, and continued to light his own fire.
"That old man is really trembling. I have to step in, right? Professor Chen. Otherwise, if you try to reason with him, it will be useless even if you talk to him until dawn." The fat man was proud to show off in front of Yang Xueli, but he called Professor Chen's name.
His intentions could be seen by Yang Xueli at a glance. Her beautiful dark eyes lit up. After staring at the fat man for several times, she nodded.
Indeed, sometimes it is necessary for a fat man to deal with An Liman, otherwise this old man will be very stubborn.
It was already dark now, and it was dark in the fortress. The wellhead was right inside the fortress. Hu Bayi used his flashlight to shine into the well, and he could see the well water more than ten meters deep. "I'll go down and take a look first, you guys are on top." Turning around, Hu Bayi looked at Yang Xueli and others and said.
The fat man pulled Lao Hu in front of him and blocked everyone's view with his body. "Lao Hu, be careful. If something bad happens, just say hello. I'll call Mingzi and we will rescue you."
Speak During this time, he stuffed a black donkey's hoof into Hu Bayi's pocket.
“Okay.”
Hu Bayi felt warm in his heart. This brother had nothing to say about his kindness.
Put the rope on, and a few people catch the rope on top. Huba puts on the safety belt and fastens the buckle of the safety belt on the rope. Once his hand slips or he has no strength, he slides down. If the movement speed is too fast, the buckle will be subject to the friction of the rope and automatically lock the rope.
Grasping the rope, Hu Bayi slowly slid down. The headlight swayed as the body slid down, and the light reflected on the wall of the well. His eyes were slightly faint, and he was a little afraid that a big rice dumpling would suddenly appear. He stretched out his long claws from the water, grabbed his legs and went down. catch.
I'll go and scare myself, how can it be so suspenseful? However, he still couldn't stop looking in the water.
The rope was not long enough, so he raised his head and shouted a few times, and the response lingered in his ears, which was scary.
"The rope is still shaking, which means that Lao Hu is still going down." Yang Shirley glanced at Fatty and the others and said, she grabbed the rope, and the feeling from the rope was unmistakable. ”
“Are you sure?”
Seeing Yang Shirley nodding decisively, the fat man asked everyone to put the rope down again, and then put it down again. Soon, the rope swung violently, grabbed it to one side, and then stopped moving.
Fat Man and the others became nervous. "Old Hu, are you here yet?"
The fat man stuck his head into the well and shouted several times, but there was no reply from Hu Bayi.
Some are just his own echoes.
He looked anxious, "Isn't there danger down there? Is Lao Hu in danger?"
Everyone looked at each other, not sure. At this moment, the rope was pulled. Yang Xueli was pleasantly surprised, "The rope has moved, pull it quickly..."
Hu Bayi climbed out and gasped. After taking a few breaths, he looked excitedly at the people who were waiting for him to speak, "There is a platform below that is almost level with the water. Walk seven or eight meters inside and you will reach the iron gate. The iron gate is covered with animal skins. I don't want to Do you know if there is an ancient tomb inside?"
