Such a large canyon, why haven’t I seen it before when I arrived here?

It seemed to be, suddenly.

Looking at my puzzled and shocked eyes, Yu Wenying seemed to guess what I was thinking. He smiled faintly and said, "Miss Yan, this did not appear out of thin air."

"no?"

I turned to look at him in surprise: "Then why didn't I see this place last time I came?"

"You saw it last time, but it looks different."

“It’s not quite the same?”

My doubts became deeper, and I turned my head and looked down. After a while, I suddenly understood what came and said, "This, this place is--"

"That's right," Yu Wenying smiled faintly when she saw my shocked expression, but there was no smile in her eyes. He slowly turned his head and watched the canyon where the sunset was slowly swallowed and gradually darkened, and said, "This place is the underwater ghost town!"

“…!”

I gasped.

At this time, I remembered that when I met Mr. Hu in Fengxiang City, he once said that the ghost town was in a very low canyon. Every year, a lot of water would inexplicably emerge from the canyon, forming a lake, and the ghost town would appear.

And now it's like this-

I whispered, "The water... has receded?"

"Yes, and not only retreated."

"What's the meaning?"

Yu Wenying was silent for a moment, then said, "What do you mean? Let's talk about it later. It's going to be dark soon."

Indeed, as soon as the sun sets, the surroundings are dark very quickly, and we are facing a completely unfamiliar Grand Canyon. What is there underneath is still unclear, so I asked, "Where are you going tonight?"

“Just below.”

“Isn’t there any danger?”

He smiled faintly: "I can't guarantee the one in front, but I have already found someone to investigate here. Please rest assured Miss Yan."

I still believed him. So I turned around and gave a few instructions to Du Yan and the others who had been very vigilant, leaving some people to station on it, and the others followed Yu Wenying and me and walked slowly along the relatively flat slope.

The terrain below is more difficult to walk than above.

Generally, the bottom of river valleys should have annual impacts. Most of them will be relatively flat. When the dry season is exposed, the riverbed can be regarded as a road. Generally speaking, there will be no strange-shaped things, but this canyon is different.

Below, there were countless stone pillars, only half a person tall, while the taller ones were as tall as several small buildings.

How could such a high stone pillar stay at the bottom of the valley?

With such doubts, I looked at the stone pillars around me and walked slowly forward with Yu Wenying. After walking for a while, I found that these stone pillars were thinner at the bottom and thick at the top. If the river water flowed over, it would not be like this.

unless--

Just as he was thinking, Yu Wenying said, "We're here."

I raised my head and saw a fire in the already dim light. It turned out that some people had been stationed here, and they should have been brought by him. Several bonfires were lit. When they saw us coming, they immediately stood up to greet us.

It seems that he has been in this place for at least one or two days.

The people on both sides were well-trained. After walking over and getting familiar with each other for a while, they quickly settled down. Du Yan asked them to set up a tent here and took out the water and food we brought. Yu Wenying's men gave us the largest bonfires in the center.

After the sun set, the temperature here dropped very quickly, especially in the valley bottom, there were even thin ice left in some places. When I walked over, my legs were frozen. At this time, I hurriedly sat in front of the campfire and roasted for a while, and finally took a breath.

Yu Wenying asked his subordinates to send me a bowl of hot soup first. After I drank it, it finally became a little warmer.

At this time, there is plenty to look around.

The sky was completely dark, and only the light from the bonfires here was left, shining on the strange-shaped stone pillars. The light and shadows were shaking, as if countless ghosts were passing back and forth.

I looked around and said, "Is this really the bottom of the lake?"

Yu Wenying smiled: "Miss Yan will never think that I am lying to you."

"Of course not, I'm just a little strange," I said, standing up and walking to the stone pillar closest to us behind me. The stone pillar was thick and strong, and it took about seven or eight people to pick it up. I reached out and touched it. It should be due to decades of water flow and it was very smooth. I said, "Why are these pillars in this shape?"

Yu Wenying looked at it and didn't say anything.

I looked back at him: "Have Mr. Yuwen been here before?"

He thought for a while and said, "I've been there."

"Have you been there?"

This is too ambiguous. If you have been there, you have been there. If you have not been there, you have never been there. You have been there. What does it mean?

Yu Wenying himself probably realized the problem with this sentence, smiled faintly, and said, "I have been here in this season before, but I haven't reached this bottom."

"Why?"

"Because in the past, even when it was the dry season, the water here had not completely dropped. This is the first time Miss Yan has seen it in these decades."

"oh?"

I looked at him with some surprise: "What do you mean is that this valley has never really been revealed before?"

"Not bad," he said, "so, I've never been to the real bottom."

"Why? Why hasn't it been exposed before, but this time-"

"Because there have been some changes this year, all nearby rivers have been changed. Perhaps this is the reason, so the water here has finally completely dried up this year, so we can reach the bottom of the valley and see what this 'ghost town' looks like."

“…”

I hesitated for a moment and suddenly understood.

Sanjiang Dam!

Because this year, the Sanjiang Dam collapsed and the water accumulated in the dam was completely poured out. Such a big change is like a landslide and crack. This change is amazing, which will not only have an impact on the downstream, but also on the upstream.

What I didn't expect was that it would affect this place.

The collapse of Sanjiang Dam actually caused the endless lake to dry up, and we finally had the opportunity to come down and find out!

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shivered.
Chapter completed!
