But Wang Ergou didn't, everyone only heard a gust of wind, but Wang Ergou was gone.

"Hey, where has the young man gone?" the old patriarch looked left and right, and there was darkness all around, where could he see clearly.

But I heard a "Ouch, spare my life" from the direction of the two stone statues.

A group of people hurriedly ran over with torches, but saw that Wang Ergou's broken knife was across a person's neck. The old patriarch took a closer look: "Hey, why are you?" It turned out to be another young man who had been saved last night.

Wang Ergou waited for the torch to shine on his face before taking back the knife: "Peng Shao Gang Master, why are you ......" It turned out that this person was Peng Zirui of the Haisha Gang.

He was a little frightened and said, "I also escaped death, thanks to you for your rescue." Just now, someone said that a knife man had been brought here, and I guessed it might have been you, so I groped my way forward, but as soon as I got under the statue, you pounced. I didn't see it was you, I thought there was a ghost...... It scared the hell out of me. ”

"That Mingjiao Wu Jiazhi, can you see him?" asked Wang Ergou.

"I inquired, and it doesn't seem to be this person......"

The old patriarch said: "Of your boatloaders, only five have survived, and the rest have died, and we have stopped their bodies in the Cave of the Dead, you can go and see if there are any of your friends' bodies." ”

Wang Ergou and Peng Zirui followed the leadership of the old patriarch, and they often had caves in front of them, and Lao Qiu did not accompany them.

Rushed to the Death Cave, where more than 20 corpses were parked on the ground.

At the other end of the cave there is a small hole leading to the inside of the stone wall, and there seems to be a sound of wind next to the hole, and it is precisely because of the ventilation here that it becomes a "morgue".

Wang Ergou pointed to the corpse on the ground and said, "These all sank with us?"

The old patriarch said, "There are ten corpses on your ship, and the others are from the sunken ship a few days ago. ”

"A few days ago?"

"You are not the first shipwreck, we have saved three groups of people, you are the third group. ”

Wang Ergou glanced at Peng Zirui: "They are all here to kill you?"

Peng Zirui frowned and said, "I'm not sure. He turned to the old patriarch and said, "How did you find out that someone deliberately scuttled the ship?"

The old patriarch said: "Because we have to drive a turtle boat into the lake every three days to fish, the first shipwreck was caught seven days ago, and among the group of people we rescued, there were two people who survived at that time, but not long after they were saved, they all died; the second shipwreck was in the last fishing, that is, three days later, we rescued seven people; you are the third group, and only five people were saved." ”

Wang Ergou found some coincidences: "Three sunken ships, every three days, scuttled in the same place? just in time for you to go out fishing?"

The old patriarch nodded: "As for whether there are shipwrecks in other places, we don't know, at least in Yongshe Lake, there should only be three." ”

The clansmen behind him nodded in agreement.

Wang Ergou examined the ten corpses that were still wet one by one, but he didn't find Wu Jiazhi, and he shook his head at everyone.

At this time, one of the clansmen said: "I remember that a total of sixteen people were rescued last night, five of them were alive, and there should be eleven corpses, why are there only ten here?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

"Amu, are you really not mistaken?"

The young man named Amu was stunned for a moment, and a confusion flashed in his eyes, "Perhaps...... Maybe I'm confused. ”

At night, it was as if someone had covered the hole in the zenith with a stone slab. Although the pillar of light disappeared, the night pearl was like a round of sun, illuminating the entire grotto.

Tribesmen, women, young and old, gathered around the night pearl and danced in the small square. The dance is silent, with no string accompaniment, only the rhythm of the clansmen's mouths.

While the other rescued people sang and danced among the villagers, Wang Ergou and Peng Zirui sat on the high stone wall of the cave, looking down at the dancing lights and shadows below.

"What are you thinking?" Peng Zirui suddenly asked.

Wang Ergou shook his head, he said too much today, and he didn't want to say more.

"Are you wondering how to get out of here?"

Wang Ergou shook his head.

"Then you are wondering, where did Wu Jiazhi go? Did he die on the ship?"

Wang Ergou shook his head.

"And what's on your mind?"

Wang Ergou suddenly said: "I only ate half a bowl of white fish soup in the morning, and the rest was put in the cave, now that I think about it, it tastes really good." ”

Peng Zirui said: "I really don't know what you are thinking in your heart...... Let's ......"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly found that Wang Ergou was gone.

Lao Qiu was sitting cross-legged under the huge gate of the ancient tomb to breathe, he heard a burst of swift footsteps from far and near, and when he opened his eyes, Wang Ergou was already standing in front of him.

"Let's get out of here. ”

Wang Ergou rarely makes requests to people, so when he says this, it is like giving an order.
