Chapter 93 Air Hole
Mr. Zuoqiu's eyes swept back and forth over the four of us several times, but he didn't say anything for a long time.
The boss's wife said that Meiling Grain and Oil Store was established during the War of Liberation to facilitate the links of the underground party. As soon as the peace era came, the address was abandoned by Jinye. The grain and oil store also passed on several generations of owners to the future and returned to its right path.
Since the address of the grain and oil store was told by Zuoqiu that Li Baishan, he must be Jinye’s old senior.
In the South China Sea, the only postal box that could send that letter was located in Sansha City. Adjutant Li and his friends had not read the sea wall before and had reached this remote air cave, but they wrote in their notes that they met the failed Zuoqiu.
So before the subsequent huge team entered the Dragon Cave, Mr. Zuoqiu had left here and surfaced. At that time, he met Li Baishan, who was also Jinye, and even older than him. Zuoqiu told him the secret address of Meiling Grain and Oil Store. Then, he must have something to do, but he thought that Li Baishan was useless. He hoped to send Jinye's other support through him!
Could it be us? I was a little guilty when Zuo Qiu's eyes swept away. I think it was a coincidence that our group received the letter. After all, the letter was sent by Su Liyao, and he was most familiar with Chao Wendao in our team. Therefore, the recipient wrote his name and we would see the weathered male fish scales.
"The prince's people are here?"
"who?"
I heard Zuo Qiu finally speak, but his question made me feel a little confused: "Which 'priest'?"
"Yes, here we are here! But the prince can no longer come, so the little prince is here, his name is Wang Doudou!"
The weird guy secretly kicked me and rushed to overwhelm my voice.
"And what? Where are the people and what words are they bringing?"
"The people are all on the other side of the sea wall, and they meet with Li Baishan and the others. They haven't come in yet. He has to tell you what they have to do."
I blinked my eyes and looked at the weirdo's serious appearance. I looked at Zuo Qiu frowned, and then quietly patted my forehead and realized what they were saying-
Zuoqiu originally wanted to find Wang Doudou's father!
I still remember when I first met Wang Doudou, I asked Mr. Dong why everyone called the tall bald [Little Prince]? Then Mr. Dong joked with the mouse, because, few of the confidential people would call him the name directly. Wang Doudou's father's father's surname is Wang, just like the people in our team called Donghuang [Little Prince]. Back then, the people in Wang Doudou's father's team also respectfully called him [Little Prince]. Later, the old prince retired, and later he had a child with his son and gave birth to Wang Doudou. Wang Doudou had a lot of qualifications for so many years, so he added the word "small" before that title, and the title of "Little Prince] was born.
However, Wang Doudou himself immediately refuted that his ancestors were really royal families in the imperial city. If it was passed down to him, he would be a serious little prince.
No matter which statement is true, anyway, from the current situation, Mr. Zuoqiu knows the old prince. The old prince knows about Meiling Grain and Oil Store. His old friend has now evolved into a failed mermaid, and he wants to get his support!
"It's been fifty or sixty years, and I don't know if he is still alive. The prince is really good. He can fool a girl and give birth to a boy..." Mr. Zuoqiu smiled rare, "Why can that girl be Xiao Meiling? Can the little girl really wait until the prince's time in the movie? I want to take a good look at what Lao Wang's son looks like!"
I couldn't hold back my laughter with a "puff" sound. Is the old prince also a "dead bald donkey"? It turns out that the joke that the old prince said that the old prince had a special secret book called "seborrheic hair loss" was true!
"Mr. Zuoqiu, you see, we were also brought by your letter. Now we are separated from the little prince. Can you please tell me a way out and take us out to meet him?" The brain-taking maniac actually didn't understand what we were laughing at all. Then he laughed a few times in a hypocritical way, and interrupted without missing the opportunity.
"I am incompetent and can't take humans away." Zuo Qiu put away his smile and shook his head. "It's easy to bring it in, but it's difficult to take it away. If you enter the shark city, you can't get out unless you change your body."
I felt a chill when he said it. This "change a shell" obviously refers to the body that evolved into a mermaid, but isn't that premise dead once? Could it be that humans are unable to save after entering the mermaid city?
Just like him, like the one who eats the whale shark?
Mr. Zuoqiu gathered up a handful of long hair, supported his hands on the ground, looked at my confused expression, crawled in two strange shapes and said, "Do you know, something like 'fish wife'?"
Although the word he said sounded familiar, it was very strange. For a while, my brain was not running fast enough, and I couldn't remember what it meant. As a result, suddenly, Mr. Zuoqiu's crawling speed became faster, and he turned around from the direction of returning to the depths of the cave and headed straight into the water that was still soaked in the whale shark's remains!
"I have to meet the old prince's son before he crossed the sea wall."
The failed Mr. Zuoqiu said in a hurry, and a small splash of water splashed and disappeared from our sight!
"Damn it, let him run away?"
The brain-taking maniac wanted to chase him in a panic, but we were so tired that we were not as good as before. The monsters had already jumped out of the water, but after thinking about it, they shook their hair and climbed up again. We all knew in our hearts that this was the ocean, and no one could catch up with the fish tail that lived here all year round. I knew in our hearts how fast and terrible Chen Zichuan was swimming in the water. Even if Mr. Zuoqiu had half his thigh left, we could not catch him in the territory of the mermaid, and we wanted to use him for our own use.
"We can't keep up with the road in the water..." I sat down dejectedly at Zuoqiu's position before resting, "Maybe I really said to him. Once you have read the sea wall, humans can't live without it. It is impossible to return the original route. The direction of the ocean current is irreversible. The exit of Zuoqiu should have to swim through the mountains and ridges of the marsh city and reach another end of the sea wall... We really can't get out..."
"But where did Zuoqiu come from here?"
Dr. Lin stared at the unfathomable front and shone it with a flashlight for a long time but couldn't see the end. His vision was just a coral reef with a totally different shape.
"Why doesn't he smile?" The weird man touched his head, avoided the direction of the flashlight, turned his back and asked me, "If there was no oxygen provided by the sea snake vine, wouldn't the other space in the hole be fatal? I think Zuoqiu is a fish in the lower body, but overall he is more like a human? His lungs automatically filter poison gas?"
"It's certainly not... But the mermaids may have practiced a very long breath-holding technique in the water. But judging from the speed of his crawling, it can't be so exaggerated. In other words, although we sucked a smile when we were away from the water, we might hold our breath through the passage in this section of the cave and go to a cave elsewhere, where it's aerobic?!"
As I said that, I became excited and sat up and pointed at the direction of Dr. Lin's flashlight: "Since Zuoqiu comes from there, he also needs to inhale oxygen, which means that there is a way out for you to go through this section! I don't believe that his body can crawl faster than the speed of running on two of us legs! Let's try to hold our breath as much as possible, try to run through the poisonous gas area in front and rush to Zuoqiu's territory!"
"It doesn't have to work so hard. After all, there is still half a can of oxygen on hand, which can be alleviated in the middle."
The weird man nodded, stood up and carried all the bags left by the brain-crazy man behind him, and was ready to leave this corner. He turned around and glanced at the ground to check what was missing. Finally, he took a few steps back and took the gilded treasure box away. I think he really got the true teachings of Brother Mouse. In theory, Jin Ye would not steal, but the salary that had not been paid for the long time on the top of the irrelevant items can be considered as a robbery of the rich and helping the poor, and earning some extra money is the only way to make food subsidies.
The brain-taking maniac pressed him tightly next to us, fearing that we would steal his oxygen tank and then abandon him here. He was a little annoyed that why he handed over the white tube whistle just now. This thing was kept in the treasure box. Mr. Zuoqiu still cared so much. It seemed that it should be a good thing with some effect!
Dr. Lin helped the monster tighten the backpack containing the treasure box, and said for a moment: "Zuoqiu seems to know the person who died in the belly of a whale shark."
"How can I see it?"
"Zuoqiu came here only when he heard the whistle."
"Yes, yes, I also find it strange. The things he has in his whale shark's belly, as well as the ones Zuoqiu carry, all came from the same shipwreck of the same period. What does it have to do with them?"
When I heard that Dr. Lin also noticed the clues and nodded immediately.
I remember Zuoqiu looked at the whale shark we caught and the corpse of that person, and sighed heavily. They were both people who fell into the world and were both mermaids with failed evolution. So have they met in the long ocean life?
I took out the silver medal that made me wonder. The words 195x on it are really reminding us of something...
When was the establishment of Meiling Grain and Oil Store? During the War of Liberation, Zuoqiu said just now that he had met the old prince fifty or sixty years ago, and the silver medal in 195x prompted that Zhang Xiaoye entered the Dragon Cave 50 years ago and took away a piece of the jade certificate of fortune.
After such a rough calculation, I always feel that if these two failed items meet, it will be a few years away. Moreover, they have taken away the gold, silver and treasures from the same shipwreck. As Dr. Lin guessed, there is an intersection between the two sides!
So, where was the shipwreck of the Southern Song Dynasty? What happened in the dragon cave fifty or sixty years ago?
"Let's go, take a deep breath. I don't know how deep this cave is. Try to hold your breath for a while."
Dr. Lin held the flashlight and took his head back to his former wise and calm expression. But I noticed that the flashlight projected in the distance was a little unstable. He was trembling slightly. He was suffering from the torture of those memories of the past, and he must be very tired.
I think he is so proactive and so depressed and forced to support his body, and he can't wait to find Liu Wanting and settle the score with Dean Gao.
"Down, don't be distracted, suck more with a steady heartbeat." The monster carried the most precious half of the oxygen in the team behind me, pulled my hand and said, "Let me be behind me. If you encounter something, I will protect you well. My eyes can see more clearly than his flashlight. You will not be afraid of darkness, right?"
I shouted in my heart, as long as I am with you, I will not be afraid of death, but I am afraid of being black. But there is a serious expression on my face, nodding and starting to adjust my breathing.
But in fact, with him holding my hand, how could I keep my heartbeat as steady as he said?
