I asked him, "What are you excited about?" ”

Wu Lin's eyes immediately turned cold, and he didn't pay attention to me, and directly twisted his face to the side.

I wasn't in the mood to ramble with him any longer, so I walked to the edge of the mountain and cast a thick glimpse at the backwater pool below.

The water is very muddy, there is no reflection of the sky, only a pool of stinking dark green, it seems that if you want to cross the bottom of the pool, you can only open a canal to release water.

The appearance of Wu Lin made almost everyone a little resistant, including me, but I have to say that he is indeed a strong backup.

I know his methods, and I know his character in general, and I know that as long as he is willing to cooperate with us in a proper manner, we will be able to enter the tomb with an extra layer of security.

Even when opening the canal to release water, Wu Lin became our main laborer, and used his knowledge and experience to help us avoid many detours.

This guy has good stamina, great strength, tireless, and experienced, and when digging the ditch, he and I each took over a shovel, and almost half of the workload.

After the canal was dug up, it was Wu Lin who broke the rock next to the waterhole and opened the sluice gate to release the water.

It was only then that I realized that the source of the stench was not the stagnant water that had been accumulated for an unknown number of years, but the mud that had been hidden deep beneath the surface.

At that time, everyone was frowning at this smell, Boss Wen really couldn't stand the smell, and even vomited everything he ate last night, only Wu Lin stood alone on the edge of the pool, looking at the green water that kept gushing out of the canal, his face was as usual.

When the water was almost drained, my first reaction was to take people into the empty pool, intending to dig up the silt and go directly into the ground, but this idea was opposed by Wu Lin.

At that time, Wu Lin said to me: "The water has just been drained, and the silt is too wet, unless you dig up all the soft mud in the whole pool, otherwise, as soon as you dig out a hole, the mud around it will flow over and fill the hole again." ”

I asked him, "What then?" ”

Wu Lin said: "The sun is very strong in the past two days, and the temperature is high, as long as you wait for two days, the mud in the pool will dry and harden, and the smell will almost disperse, so I suggest that the construction will start at that time." ”

Li Huaishan retorted on the side: "The time is so tight now, we can't delay it any longer." ”

Wu Lin didn't look at him either, and still said to me: "If you insist on starting construction now, this pool of soft mud may consume everyone's physical strength, and when the time comes, you will be so tired that you can't open your eyelids, how can you deal with the situation in the inner mountains?" ”

I thought about it, but it was better to wait for two more days because he had exhausted everyone's physical strength in the waterhole, so I accepted Wu Lin's suggestion.

In this regard, Li Huaishan was obviously very unhappy.

I knew Li Huaishan's careful thoughts, but I didn't break it on the spot, until dinner in the evening, Wu Lin quickly filled his stomach, and ran to the mountain pass to help us guard the door, I found an opportunity to order: "Ergou, now is very corpse, the little tangled in your heart, you have to let go, try to put your energy where it should be." ”

Li Huaishan gave me a blank look at me at first, as if he was disgusted that I was talking to him in a tone of lesson, but he didn't say anything after all, and was silent for a long time, but still nodded sullenly.

I don't know how Wu Lin rested that night, after all, he didn't camp with us, saying that he went to the mountain pass to guard, but no one knows where he was hiding.

To be honest, no one seemed to care about his life or death except me, and when he was there, everyone tried to keep silent as much as possible, even if they had a little communication with each other, they had to deliberately avoid Wu Lin, until Wu Lin left the camp, and everyone became a little lively.

At midnight, when Boss Jiang and the others went into the tent to rest, no one asked Wu Lin what he came back.

To be honest, this situation makes me feel very twisted, I can't figure out why everyone looks like they are facing a great enemy when they see Wu Lin, and I can't figure out whether Wu Lin is a friend or not for me.

I remember that on the third night after the canal was opened and the water was released, the soft mud in the waterhole was half dry, and I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so I took the place of Boss Yu and Jin Xiangqian's team and kept vigil alone outside the camp.

Wu Lin didn't come back early or late, but he came back when I was the only one left outside the camp.

When he came, he was shirtless, and the shirt he took off was wrapped into a cloth bag, which was bulging, and he didn't know what it contained.

I saw that he looked relaxed, so I asked, "What are you doing here without guarding the mountain pass?" ”

Wu Lin put his bulging shirt next to me, picked a clean place to sit down, and said to me with a facial expression: "Don't keep it, two people who don't have long eyes touched me tonight, and they have been killed by me." ”

Is someone really stalking us?

I couldn't help frowning: "What person?" ”

Wu Lin: "What kind of person can it be, people who are not from Zhoushan." The rumors on the side of Mangshi were spread by them. ”

"Since you already knew that people from Buzhou Mountain had spread rumors, why did you say you didn't know the last time I asked you?"

"There were too many people at that time, and the so-called people were too many and their eyes were mixed, and if they said too much, they would be lost, and you should know this truth better than me." He said as he unbuttoned his blouse.

As soon as most of the clothes were spread out, there were a lot of small dates spread out, Wu Lin picked one up and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it with taste, and said to me: "Sour dates, they taste good, I specially brought them back for you to taste." ”

I also picked one up and stuffed it into my mouth like Wu Lin, but as soon as I took a bite, I vomited: "This is too sour!" It's like old vinegar. ”

Wu Lin glanced at me with disdain: "No wonder jujube acid, you don't have a mouth." ”

As he spoke, he pulled his sleeves and dragged a large pile of sour dates to his side, one by one, and kept eating.

After a while, Wu Lin took the initiative to speak: "The people of Buzhou Mountain are eyeing you." ”

I nodded, "I know." ”

"Do you know why they're targeting you?"

"I don't know," I asked Wu Lin rhetorically, "Why are they targeting me?" ”

Wu Lin's eyes fell on the pile of sour dates, and he replied without raising his head: "I don't know either." ”

Then there was a long silence, Wu Lin is like this, every time you finally have a little interest in chatting with him, but he chatted and chatted, and the conversation died halfway.

Later, it was Wu Lin who spoke first: "Why do you always take a group of cats and dogs to act, aren't you afraid that they will drag you back?" ”

I glanced at him: "If Boss Jiang knows that you say that she is a cat and a dog, he will kill you in minutes." ”

Wu Lin spit out a handful of jujube pits, half-raised his eyelids, looked at me and said, "Among you guys, no one is my opponent, and that woman is the weakest." ”

I annoyed him with his appearance of being the only one in heaven and the world, and couldn't help but provoke: "No one is your opponent, do you dare to compare with me?" ”

Wu Lin waved his hand: "I know that you are the apprentice of Yu Dong, I am not afraid of anything else, even the hand you practiced, it is not an ordinary pain on the body, so I will not be affected by that sin." ”

I'm also a little curious: "Have you ever fought with the second master?" ”

Wu Lin sighed: "I can't say that I have fought each other, I can only say that I have been beaten by him, I am too fierce to measure him by human standards." ”

I said, "But I've never heard the second master say that he still knows someone like you." ”

Wu Lin: "Of course he doesn't know me. It was probably more than 20 years ago, when you were not born, I was also entrusted by Luo Zhongxing, and took a few people into the old house of the family, originally thinking that I would kill the Dong while it was dark, but I didn't expect to go to eight people, and only I escaped alive. At that time, we were all covering our faces, and we didn't see what I looked like. ”

Unexpectedly, Wu Lin had such an experience.

At the end of the words, Wu Lin sighed again: "The old immortal thing is too fierce, I think about the scene at that time now, and I feel afraid." ”

"That guy, is he really human?" Wu Lin suddenly turned around and asked me.

I couldn't help laughing: "The second master is not a human, is it a ghost?" It's just that his physique is different from ordinary people, and he has been recuperated for many years with the ancestral prescriptions of the other family, and he has developed a body of copper skin and iron bones, I feel that he is almost invulnerable. ”

Wu Lin stared at me quietly, and when I finished speaking, he asked another incomprehensible sentence: "Are you human?" ”

I frowned, "What do you mean by that?" ”

Wu Lin: "Literally, you think you're ...... Is it still human? ”

Hey, I wondered, "Why am I not human?" What do you mean it's to scold me for not being human? ”

Wu Lin lay on the ground half-on his back, supported the ground with his elbows, and said something brainless: "In this world, you are the only one of my kind." ”

I said, "What do you mean by that?" Neither of us are human beings or what? ”

Wu Lin said sullenly: "There are some things that you can't understand when I say it now." I won't talk to you about this, so that you don't have a pimple in your heart, let's talk about business. Let me ask you again, you really haven't been in the Uchiyama, have you? ”

I said, "This is my first time abroad, and I've never been to Savage Mountain before." ”

Wu Lin turned sideways and said to me: "Then I have to remind you, when I first entered the inner mountain, the air quality was very poor, and there was a large amount of miasma in the middle, it was not an ordinary miasma, but a kind of mixed poison gas that can hallucinate, except for the two of us, no one can resist the erosion of the poisonous gas." So I suggest that you don't take extra people into the inner mountain, the two of us will be enough. ”

I looked at the dark sky and asked him, "That's what you're looking for me in the middle of the night."
