Chapter 669 The Secret Way
Lin Mo also discovered a phenomenon that the more east the fish goes, the fewer the small fishes are, and the more large fish are, especially the northeast side.
"What's this thing? Is it cloth?" Zhang Jingmin caught a half-meter-long red fish, but he didn't expect to let out a piece of black stuff that slipped out on the fish. Zhang Jingmin opened it and looked at it again and again, and spoke in confusion.
"There won't be any dead people in this place, right? I just saw several pieces of cloth."
No one paid attention to Zhang Jingmin's words, but the next sentence of the magical finale attracted everyone's attention. Lin Mo looked at him and found that it was the team member who had mistakenly thought there was something dirty underground before.
"We dare to kill all living people. What's the point of being afraid of dead people? If you really worry about something dirty to come to you, just keep your body as a boy, decades of firepower to ensure that all ghosts and evil spirits will surround you."
"Haha..." Lin Mo's joke made everyone laugh, and the team member blushed. Lin Mo did not laugh, walked towards Zheng Junshan and took the thing and looked around, and found a lot of similar things around.
"There are no traces of cutting stitches. It should be that the goods stored in the past were not cleaned. The rest had not been completely soaked in water. There were only some corners left. Everyone can catch the fish with peace of mind."
Reassuring the hearts of the people, Lin Mo took the flashlight and looked at the fragments carefully. Seeing this, Zhang Jingmin came over with the red fish he caught.
Lin Mo glanced at it and recognized that it was a grass goldfish, a type of goldfish, a golden crucian carp, a medium-sized fish, which usually grows up to 30 centimeters. However, Zhang Jingmin caught this one much larger than the average one, probably half a meter, which is not common.
"Did you see something? I just started touching it and felt that it was not an ordinary thing."
Lin Mo heard this and said, "Looking at the remaining patterns, I guess it is Shu Jin. I thought it was Shu Jin. I had a strange feeling before. I had to build such a secret underground warehouse in such a remote place. If it is Shu Jin, it would be understandable. This thing is real and gold!"
Although Shu Jin had already begun to decline in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and after the Opium War, it was hit hard by foreign goods, but at least it was a luxury goods that had been passed down for thousands of years, which was much stronger than those that had been in the past hundred years. Even if it was impacted, the original audience and market would not completely disappear, and some people still paid for it.
The rapid decline of Shu Jin in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China was one aspect of the market change, but the political turmoil and frequent wars were the culprits that made it fall directly to the bottom.
It is estimated that these merchants who operate Shu Jin also expected this situation and secretly spent a lot of money to build this warehouse here to store Shu Jin to resist the impact of the turmoil.
Unfortunately, they had too optimistic about the turmoil that had swept China for decades. The turmoil was blocked by trade routes, and even their homes were in chaos for 10 or 20 years. The warehouse had not played much role, so they disappeared first.
"Oh... wait..." Seeing the team member walking past, Lin Mo called out.
"If you really care about those things, you might as well try it as I said just before getting married. Although I was teasing you just now, I didn't say anything."
"Thank you, Team Lin, I..." The team members were at a loss when they heard this. They spoke without saying anything at all, stuttering and didn't hold back anything, and finally they could only blush...
"Remember, ask the supervisor, don't always say it's a joke. Okay, go hurry up!" Lin Mo reminded me a few times, and then let the team members who died in the club leave to resolve the awkward atmosphere.
"What you said is really useful?" Seeing that someone walked away, Zhang Jingmin was a little skeptical and asked.
"I don't know either..." Lin Mo shook his head and explained: "According to some statements, this is theoretically feasible, but there are no tangible and credible cases to prove it.
The main thing is to give him a psychological comfort and sustenance. As long as he firmly believes in this statement, before he really encounters such a thing, he should try his best to avoid seeing the wind and rain like today, so as not to cause any trouble at critical moments.”
"So that's the purpose? Is this the psychological counseling and psychological treatment you talk about?"
"Uh..." Lin Mo didn't react for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "It should also fall into the category of psychological counseling. I don't know much about this, so it's really hard to answer you."
"My grass... so many big fish..." Zhang Jingmin was about to whisper with Lin Mo Commercial, but when he heard this, he immediately lost his mind. He said and left, and he was still carrying the fish and was about to get in.
"Oh... I'll send the fish out first! This one in your hand is not common. If you don't place it, you probably won't be alive."
Zhang Jingmin stopped, frowned and looked at the fish in his hand, looked inside again, and was confused for a while, and finally chose to send the fish away.
When Lin Mo arrived, everyone had gathered at the northeast corner of the underground warehouse, but no one was concerned, and the flashlights gathered at a hole in the corner wall.
The layout of the underground warehouse is that there is an aisle that runs from east to west on both sides. In the middle are cave-shaped warehouses that run vertically through north and south. This cave entrance is at the easternmost end of the north aisle.
It was obvious that the entrance of the hole was not formed by collapse, but was built by man. There should have been a door hidden before, but it had fallen at this time, and only scattered wooden boards of the door frame were left.
There are many scattered and broken wooden shelves on the ground in front of the hole. Judging from some relatively well-preserved objects, they should be the carts that were placed here before.
Where Lin Mo was standing, the mud had already passed his feet. It was estimated that there were not completely rotten wood at the entrance of the cave, and the mud had obviously accumulated higher.
There was a small stream of water flowing out of the hole, eroding the ditches on the mud. The fish were around the hole, with most of the tail facing the hole and their heads facing people. It was estimated that when the water was pumping, it was stranded around the hole with the water.
There are indeed many big fish, and there are three or four giant objects I see, one giant green, smaller than the one Xu Guyu found before, but it is definitely more than a hundred pounds. A big red koi is bigger than the golden koi before Lin Mo.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content below! There are more than ten big fish left, including koi, grass carp, green carp, etc., and they are not small in size. They are stuck or lying in the mud, stirring their tails from time to time.
"What's the situation here... Appeal..." Zhang Jingmin rushed back quickly and panted and asked Lin Mo.
"It is probably those people who built a secret passage for this underground warehouse. When pumping water, the fish swam out of the secret passage along the water and stranded around the exit. I think the problem with the source of the underground warehouse and the source of the fish lies in this secret passage."
"Come on, come on, everyone move, get the fish out first." After briefly introducing the situation to Zhang Jingmin, Lin Mo called everyone to transfer the fish out. The fish had been stranded for a long time, and if it was delayed, it might not be able to survive.
Everyone cut a few more pieces of canvas, and after a lot of effort, they finally got all the fish out and settled them. The wooden shelf at the entrance of the cave was also cleaned up to one side, making it easier for people to reach the front of the cave.
It is actually not small, it is more than two meters high and two meters wide, so it is no problem to walk on a cart. Moreover, the walls and tops are made of stones, which are stable!
Lin Mo and Zhang Jingmin volunteered to take the lead and went in as the first team to check the situation. After discussion, Liu Zhenshan led the team to join the same team member and then acted.
After some preparation, Lin Mo and Zhang Jingmin took the lead in the front, and Liu Zhenshan was five to ten meters away from the two, always paying attention to the situation of the two, responsible for commanding and handling emergencies, such as when the two encountered danger, they immediately notified them to organize rescue later.
The last team member was more than ten meters away from Liu Zhenshan, and was responsible for transmitting rescue information and internal situations to the back, keeping in touch with the back, and explaining the various things in the cave.
The biggest trouble when walking in is the mud under your feet. This thing is completely mud. You can step to the bottom with one foot. Fortunately, the ground should be covered with blue bricks, but the mud will suck the feet, and every step you take will take some effort.
Another trouble is fish. There are more fish in it, big and small, and you can encounter one in just a few steps. You have to try to stay away as much as possible.
Just now, the two met a big carp, which was an ordinary carp, but this guy was extremely large, probably hundreds of pounds. Just in the middle of the road, the two of them were circling from both sides, and the guy blew and splashed the mud on half of the two of them.
"It's going to be one hundred meters, right? It's so deep, and the lights are still not shining."
"It's probably still early! This secret passage is probably built for valuable goods that are transferred to the underground warehouse in an emergency, and it must be more than one or two hundred meters. So as long as a large warehouse is loaded with a hole, the movement will not be small. If it is transferred to a place that is too close, it will not be hidden."
"Then this is a big project!"
"Absolutely, I guess, the last row of soil under the warehouse was probably made when digging this tunnel. I guessed that the soil was more from the underground warehouse before, so I felt something was wrong.
According to the group leader, the underground warehouse was pre-digged, which means that the underground warehouse was built in front of most ground warehouses. At that time, there were more and better ways to deal with these earthworks, such as backfilling the top of the underground warehouse and the ditch. There would definitely not be a single warehouse with ditch, and there must be one, but we didn't see it when we came. It was probably filled with excess earthworks in the underground warehouse.
And the last row of warehouses was not completed in the end, which is probably because the manpower was put into this place. After all, there is only a little finishing work left, and the materials are still prepared, so it won’t be delayed for so long.”
"You may really guess, but the amount of earth under the row of warehouses is quite large. If you calculate the cross-section of this secret passage, the length will probably be over kilometer... Oh... hurry up... help me to take a look at my feet, there are living things moving on my feet."
Lin Mo quickly stood firm. When the flashlight shone through, Zhang Jingmin had reached into the mud, and somehow he was rolling in the mud.
"Swish..." Zhang Jingmin groped for a while, rinsed his hands in the mud and water, and raised a twisting and struggling yellow living thing.
"Hehe~ It's true that this thing is something. I haven't grabbed it for some years and my hands are unfamiliar."
"Eel..." Lin Mo said the name of this thing, frowned and looked around. The secret wall and the top came in forty or fifty meters and used a stone to make it. Then he came over and was covered with a blue brick roof.
This stone wall is not made of regular stones, but stones of different sizes and shapes. Although the wall has also been leveled, there are many holes in the gaps of large and small sizes.
"Captain Liu, when he discovered Huang Shan, it may drill through the holes in the stone wall and drill the soil behind the wall, so that the brothers behind it will remember to check for hidden dangers in the stone wall."
"Okay..." Zhenshan responded, and then passed the message loudly to the team members following behind, and then passed it to the back.
After delaying for a while, the two of them took a break before continuing to move forward. The further they went forward, the quality of the walls on both sides also changed. The stone walls gradually decreased, and more were replaced by blue bricks. The leveling of the stone walls also became less visible to the naked eye. In the end, the stone walls also disappeared and replaced by blue brick walls.
Moreover, the deeper the mud, the thicker and thicker, and the smell gradually becomes thicker. Sometimes the smell brought by the feet when they lift it from the mud can make your eyes unable to open.
The two of them walked forward with difficulty, and the mud under their feet became thicker and tighter, and they obviously began to feel grainy. They were no longer the past mud-like mud, and their feet began to sink shallower and easier to walk.
"Show me your feet, and I stepped on something again." Lin Mo skillfully gave light. Zhang Jingmin lifted his feet and squatted down for a while. Not long after, he got out a river clam with a big head.
"It's another big thing!" Zhang Jingmin's eyes narrowed into slits with joy, but Lin Mo's eyes fell on the mud that Zhang Jingmin had picked up the river clams with the flashlight.
Lin Mo walked over and squatted down and looked carefully, grabbed a little and twisted it in his hand, frowned slightly.
“Are there any new discoveries?”
"It's true. I thought the mud became tighter before because it was mixed with sand, but I just saw that it didn't look like sand!"
"What is that? Don't keep it a secret."
"Bone particles that break into sand."
"Bone? Are there dead people?" This scared Zhang Jingmin. How many bones did he get mixed with? How many people died?
"What are you thinking? I'm talking about bone particles, not human bone particles. Isn't the shell of the clam on your hand bone? I guess it's the shell of the snail and other shells that are broken."
"Yeah... I'm so scared... I'll make it clear next time, I'm getting goosebumps, and I thought the corpse had accumulated here..."
"Pu...I'm grass..." A huge puff suddenly came from the front, and Zhang Jingmin, who was still immersed in the hell scene in his imagination, was so scared that Zhang Jingmin swearing violently.
"What the hell is it? He's so scared..." Zhang Jingmin cursed and greeted the fish's relatives, trying to pat his heart that was so scared that he was beating, but he found that his hands were covered in mud.
"His grandma's, I guess it's a big deal again, but then again, are there too many big fish in this place? What foods are you eating to grow so big?"
Lin Mo heard this and said, "The big fish here are all omnivorous. I guess they eat small fish, shrimp, snails, loaches, eels, and red worms. These things are everywhere in the mud along the way."
"What do these eat?"
