"How do you know there's a fifth person?" As soon as I heard Lao Wang's words, I immediately became nervous.

"I see it." Lao Wang turned around and pointed to the intermittent ruins over there: "I really saw it." ”

I don't know who this fifth person is, but since we entered Danmeng, this is probably the first time that something abnormal has been noticed, so I immediately ran outside the tent and woke up Zhang Momo and Ning Kitten.

"Something?" Zhang Momo was very clever, turned over and got up. Ning Xiaomei was timid, and before she could figure out what was going on, she had already reflexively hid behind Zhang Momo.

"When Lao Wang was keeping vigil, he saw someone. There are few of us, so don't run around here, if you run away, you will be in trouble. ”

"Give me your knife." Zhang Momo was simply sharp, didn't say a word of superfluous nonsense, and stretched out his hand to ask me for a knife.

I handed the dogleg knife that was originally given to Lao Wang to Zhang Momo, and she did not hesitate to pull out the Xueliang knife and guard the entrance of the tent. I didn't expect Zhang Momo to have such a heroic side, nodded at her, and turned around to leave.

But my steps have just taken a step, and I feel very inappropriate, Zhang Momo is also a woman no matter how I say it, if Lao Wang and I go to track down the fifth person, what is really going on here, I can't guarantee that Zhang Momo can protect Ning Kitten and herself.

Thinking of this, I gritted my teeth, I was mixed up in the ancient line, and when something happened, I must not hide back. I hurriedly called Lao Wang back and asked him to stay in the tent as well, and I would go there alone to see before I talked.

The three of them stood at the tent, and I pulled out a knife and trotted slowly forward against the continuous wall. A long time ago, the inhabitants of the Danmeng Oasis should not have been small, and the city wall destroyed by time and wind and sand stretched straight for four or five hundred meters before turning around. I searched as best I could, but when I got to the bend in the broken wall, I found nothing.

Call......

A gust of wind blew over with a little dust and sand, and I was just nervous, but after this gust of wind blew, I suddenly had a feeling that Lao Wang didn't say nonsense, and there must be a fifth person between the ruins and broken walls that have been buried by most of the wind and sand.

Who will it be? Is it Old Man Liu?

I bent my waist, clinging to the corner of the wall, around the corner of the broken wall, the city wall collapsed irregularly, all of that kind of huge rammed earth blocks, countless pieces of rammed earth two or three meters high were completely covered by the sand, forming a high and low sandbag. I don't have a limited line of sight to see the whole picture, and behind every punching bag, there may be a fifth person hidden.

Although I was engrossed, I slowly searched for dozens of meters along the bend of the wall, but I still found nothing. At this time, I was already far away from the tent, and I felt a little unsure, so I gritted my teeth suddenly, temporarily gave up my intention to continue looking, and turned around and ran back.

I ran along the broken wall once, so when I went back, I went back to the tent in one breath, and by the moonlight, I could see Zhang Momofu bowing his body, holding the dog-legged knife in his hand, guarding the entrance of the tent, Ning Xiaomei hid in the tent, poked his head out from time to time, and looked outside.

Seeing that there was no surprise to them, my heart finally fell into my stomach and I ran over quickly.

"What did you find?"

"Nope." I shook my head, and it wasn't until this point that I hesitated, a little unsure of how I was feeling. Whether there is a fifth person here, I don't see it, it's completely what Lao Wang said. It stands to reason that Lao Wang and we are on the same team, and we have the same goal, so we won't talk nonsense, but I don't know why, I suddenly remembered the night before entering Baklang, Lao Wang cried when he was good, I felt more and more that something was wrong, I looked left and right, and didn't see Lao Wang: "What about Lao Wang?" ”

"He said that it was not safe for you to go to the broken wall alone, so he followed."

"You stay here, I'll go find him."

I turned around and ran over there again, according to the time Zhang Momo said, Lao Wang had been out for more than ten minutes, but I didn't see him when I came back. I have always run along the south side of the broken wall, and in order to find Lao Wang, this time I went around to the north side of the broken wall.

The moonlight was faint, and except for the occasional night breeze that swept through the dust, visibility was quite good most of the time. I was running and looking for it, and when I ran out more than 200 meters away, I saw Lao Wang squatting under a wall almost four meters high.

"I've found you!" I suppressed my voice and called out to him, "Come back first." ”

Lao Wang didn't react, he still squatted over there, and I walked forward again and shouted again. My voice is not small anymore, and the two of them are not far away, he can definitely hear it, but this time, Lao Wang still did not react.

He squatted facing the wall, holding half a pack of cigarettes in his left hand, as if he was staring at something, and as if he was stunned. My heart was furious, and a very ominous premonition hit me.

"I know, you're going to be quite flustered, come on, smoke one." The old king didn't reply to say a few words, and my heart was relieved, and I finally heard his response.

However, before my heart could be completely relaxed, I suddenly tensed again, because I suddenly realized that Lao Wang was not talking to me.

"Smoke one, smoke one." Lao Wang didn't seem to notice that I had walked behind him, he chattered and lit a cigarette, but after the cigarette was lit, Lao Wang didn't smoke, and inserted the cigarette into the sand at the root of the wall, and when the cigarette was firmly inserted, he lit another cigarette and took a deep puff: "I understand, you really want me to stay as a companion, anyway, I can't walk, stay and stay, but, I'm a person, I love home, I will be homesick when I go out for a long time, you say, if I am homesick, what should I do......"

I listened to it with a creepy feeling, and I didn't know what was wrong with Lao Wang. But I could tell that at least something was wrong with him, and I had to get him back first, anyway.

I looked around, quickened my pace, walked behind Lao Wang in three steps and two steps, and tugged at his collar vigorously, as if to bring Lao Wang back to his senses, he had a cigarette in his mouth, and slowly turned his head.

At the moment when Lao Wang and I looked at each other, a piece of sand fell from the wall stack. Before I could make any moves, Lao Wang stiffened up, pounced forward, and pushed me out with all his might.

It was happening so fast, so fast that I couldn't be dazzled. At the same time as pushing me out, Lao Wang's whole body was lying flat on the ground, and a large piece of dry and cracked rammed earth fell from the four-meter-high wall battlement.

The climate of the Danmeng Basin is dry, and the rammed earth has long been without moisture, and it is as hard as a stone, so large the rammed earth falls from a height of four meters, and it just falls on the waist of Lao Wang.

Lao Wang didn't even snort, the cigarette in his mouth was already stained red with blood spurting out, and I could even hear the sound of rammed earth smashing his lumbar vertebrae.

"Lao Wang !!" I was taken aback and crawled over with my hands and feet.

In just half a minute, Lao Wang's eyes were completely dilated, and the blood in his mouth was still flowing outward, soaking the sand in front of him.

Before he could say another word, his eyes didn't move, and I lifted the rammed earth from his waist with all my might, but what I saw was Lao Wang's broken and deformed body.

My head was covered with cold sweat, and I remembered the night when Lao Wang cried, he once touched his waist with his hand, saying that he died because of a broken lumbar vertebrae, and he died a miserable death. I always felt that Lao Wang's crying and what he said was an ominous sign, but I did not expect that what he said would be fulfilled.

Lao Wang lost his breath and died completely. At this moment, I am panicked, surprised, sad, and all kinds of emotions are intertwined, constantly washing my mind, but I know that not to mention that in the deserted Danmeng, even in Huayang, I can't save Lao Wang.

I kept my senses, wiped the sweat from my head, and got the king back to camp.

When I brought Lao Wang back, even Zhang Momo, who was usually cold and like a goddess, was moved. Lao Wang's death was very miserable, miserable, I can't bear to see more. Ning Kitten was timid, but when she saw Lao Wang's corpse that began to stiffen and gradually stiffened, she cried and crawled out of the tent, crawled all the way to Lao Wang's side, and kept wiping the blood on Lao Wang's face with her sleeves.

"Lao Wang...... It's cold here...... "Ning kitten cried a lot, and took his own blanket to cover Lao Wang's body: "You cover it thicker, don't freeze ......"

"Now that we're dead, what are we going to do?" Zhang Momo didn't cry, but her face was very bad, no matter how cold she was with Lao Wang, but now we are teammates in the same boat after all.

At this time, I suddenly remembered what Lao Wang had said to me in the middle of the night, he said that if you want to do one thing, then put down everything else and walk forward with your head down. At the time, I only thought he was chatting, but now that I think about it, these words are like his last words.

"My mind is messed up, let me think about it." I grabbed my hair hard, and at this moment, the calm fierceness seemed to make me smell a smell of blood, and I didn't expect that I would die not long after I came in.

I'm not sure if there will be any other accidents if I go forward again, but if I take Zhang Momo and Ning Kitten back now, not to mention what kind of fate the three of us will have, at least Lao Wang died in vain.

There must be no retreat.

"That's it." I raised my head and whispered to Zhang Momo: "The way in from the outside, we have walked, and there should be no danger, you take the kitten, return from the original way, go outside to find Hu Ritu, wait for me over there, and I will walk towards the front by myself." ”

"Let's go back, and you keep walking alone?" Zhang Momo frowned, and just wanted to speak, Ning Xiaomei, who had been secretly wiping her tears next to her, shook her body suddenly, as if she had been electrocuted, and grabbed Zhang Momo's arm vigorously.

"Over there! Over there! Ning Xiaomei's voice was trembling, her eyes were straight, and she said tremblingly: "Old Wang......"
