As for how we got here, the fat man and Qin Feng both shook their heads and said that they didn't know, and after confirming that it was indeed a dream just now, my whole body also relaxed.

Just now, I only remember that I fell into a stone cave, and finally it seems that I fell into a river, which should be an underground river in the mountains. The water system here is complex, and there are a large number of hot springs, and it is very normal for an underground river to appear between the mountains.

In the last seconds I lost consciousness, I felt like I was swept into the bottom of the river by a huge impact, and finally fainted as soon as it was dark.

There was a thick circle of gauze wrapped around his arm, and the fat man said that when he woke up just now, he found that my arm had been cut out, and he was afraid that I would lose too much blood, so he helped me bandage it.

The waterways of this underground river are intricate, many of them are carved out of the cracks in the mountains, and if you go the wrong way in them, only death awaits you. Unless they have advanced diving equipment, very few people make it out of an underground river alive.

Except for a cut on his arm, Qin Feng and the fat man didn't even scratch the skin at all, which made me have to sigh at the luck of the three of us.

One life, two luck and three feng shui, sure enough, in some cases, luck is the decisive factor.

The fat man hadn't been talking since I woke up, but looking at his expression, it didn't seem to be very good. I don't know where he got a few boxes of canned food, cooked them and handed them to me.

I took it in my hand, picked up a piece of frozen meat with a fork and was blowing, when I saw the fat man squatting next to me with gloomy eyes, and his mouth moved several times to say something, but he hesitated for a long time and still didn't say it.

I've seen this place just now, if I didn't guess wrong, this is the hanging ladder that the fat man said, when the river in the stone room was backing up, and the second uncle was swept into the main hall behind the hanging ladder.

But what surprised me was that there were a few sleeping bags here, and even this searchlight and the can in my hand were found by the fat man from the hiking bag next to the sleeping bag.

When I woke up and saw the hanging staircase, my heart that had been irritable calmed down, yes, I have experienced so much along the way, and finally arrived here, although I was worried about the safety of my second uncle, but at this time I already knew that he was very likely to be in the hall at the end of the hanging staircase, but there was no such anxiety.

And although there are no fatal wounds on his body, there are a lot of large and small scars along the way, and I don't know how long I have been floating in the underground river, and the wounds on my body have been swollen with blisters.

I took a bite of frozen meat, pretended to look at the fat man casually, and said casually: "Fat man, if you have something to say, don't look constipated, so that Lao Tzu has no appetite to eat." ”

The fat man didn't even refute this time, but glanced at Qin Feng, as if asking for his opinion. Qin Feng had been sitting on a sleeping bag, and when he saw the fat man looking at him, he turned over and turned around without saying anything.

The more I looked at it, the more confused I felt, "What kind of dumb riddle are you guys playing, dead fatty, if you have something to say, there is."

Fart, don't hang my appetite. ”

The fat man's eyebrows furrowed even tighter, he scratched the back of his head, sighed and said, "Jiang Yu, you..... You have to be mentally prepared......"

"Mentally ready? What do you mean? As soon as the words came out, suddenly I thought of something: "You mean my second uncle?" What happened to my second uncle? ”

"Well, I really don't know if something happened to him, but here's a letter he wrote to you...."

"Letter? Where is it? ”

The fat man stretched out his hand and handed me an envelope, and a few words were written on the envelope: "Jiang Yu personally opened." ”

"After I woke up just now, I saw it in that sleeping bag, and the equipment here was brought by your second uncle, so I think this should be what he left for you."

To tell the truth, these words were indeed written by the second uncle, who looks like a gangster, but has a habit. Even if your handwriting is crooked, every time you write an envelope, you will write it neatly.

This is also related to the background at that time, after the reform and opening up, the archaeological teams of some countries will cooperate with the folk Tufuzi because of their ability and equipment, which is equivalent to temporary recruitment.

The second uncle did have this kind of experience back then, so when he wrote the envelope, he would write as neatly as possible, for fear that others would see that he was reckless.

I really can't figure out why the second uncle wrote this letter, but when I took the envelope, I suddenly had a sense of foreboding in my heart.

With a trembling right hand, I put the can on the ground where I had eaten two bites, tore off the seal, and put two fingers in it, gripping a piece of paper.

At this time, my heart, which had just calmed down, began to beat wildly again, and for a moment I was overwhelmed and did not dare to take out this piece of paper.

The fat man looked at my expression, got up and patted me on the shoulder, then walked to Qin Feng's side and sat down with his back to me. After all, this is a letter from home, after all, the fat man's skin is not thick enough to this extent, and he chose to avoid it.

There was only one piece of paper in the envelope, which was the white letter paper that is commonly used now, and when I opened it, I saw the notes of the second uncle.

"My nephew Jiang Yu:

When you come here, it's all over, this is my starting point, and it's my end, our twenty years of layout, after all, we haven't escaped his nightmare, and in the end I can only come back and end everything here.

When you knew Song Yulan, he had already appeared, and at that time, I knew that I couldn't hide, and I knew that it was time for me to come back. The reason why I took you is because only you can open this place.

Your grandfather was brought here after he died, and now I have to come back. The nightmare that implicated two generations of our Jiang family is finally over now.

Everything your grandfather and I did was to keep you from getting caught up in it again. This is an experiment at any cost, as long as the person he chooses, he will die in the experiment again and again, or become a monster.

Xiaoyu, the time has come, all this is over, don't go any further, this is a road of no return,

We'll leave it at that.

Remember! Remember!

JAS"

The second uncle's letter is only a short hundred words, but every sentence in the letter shocked me, I didn't expect the second uncle to know so much and hide so much from me.

Is this his starting point and his end? He knew that his grandfather was here, he knew Song Yulu in my dream, and he knew Gu Wanling's mutations, all of which he knew.

And what shocked and puzzled me even more was that I turned out to be a key, a key to open here.
