Listening to San'er say that I finally thought of the crux of the problem, I was thinking about what he meant by the crux of the matter?

I thought to myself, could it be that he didn't attack me, so what special meaning does it have? It's not the reason why I and the Murong family are related.

At this time, I didn't bother to think about it, and asked directly: "You make it clear, why is it the key for me to live?" Why didn't you do it to me?"

"You have a lot of questions, I'll answer your first question first." San'er continued: "You are alive, this is the key, your life is still there, you still have a future." Don't you think it's important that you're alive?"

I was dumbfounded by San'er's rhetorical question, and I didn't expect him to answer like this at all. But when I think about it, I feel that he is reminding me, or lobbying me, he wants me to cherish that I am still alive, but he is wrong, I can't forget about the old prostitute and the scar because I cherish that I am still alive, this matter has been remembered.

I motioned for San'er to answer the second question, why didn't you attack me.

"You will definitely have this kind of thought, thinking that you have the background of the Murong family, so I didn't attack you." I nodded, indicating that I had thought about it. San'er continued: "Then you are wrong, the reason why I didn't move you is because you are not greedy enough, not because you are related to the Murong family. Of course, there is also a very important point, which is forced by the situation. ”

"Forced by the situation?" I asked.

"Yes, it's the situation, but the former point is more important. If you are as greedy as the old prostitute, I will no longer care about what the situation compels me to do, and I will resolutely bury you and everything here. ”

"What are you referring to as compelled by the situation?" I asked.

"You have to get out of here alive, and if you don't get out of here alive, then the people who are watching you will think that there is something wrong here, and then the secrets of this place will be discovered."

"Who are those who are watching me?" I asked.

"I don't know, I've been looking for answers. Before I came down with you, I always thought that it was the people of the Meng family, of course, this is not my idea alone, it is the idea of every Murong family. But when I saw those murals and colored coffins, I changed my mind, it would not be the Meng family, the Meng family should also be victims. ”

I thought about it for a moment, and wondered if the person who was watching me could be someone from the Tigers, and I was about to say it, but when the words came to my lips, I swallowed them back.

After thinking about it, I think it's better not to jump to conclusions, after all, the Murong family believes that the master is a member of the Tiger Regiment, so before I really find out that the master has this identity, I can't take the liberty of involving the master.

"What do you think of?" San'er seemed to see that I had something important in mind.

"No, nothing." I paused, not knowing what to say, and in a hurry to divert the subject, I asked, "What would happen to you if I were as greedy as my old prostitute?"

"That's the worst possible outcome, I'm not going to let you get out of here, and I'm not going to let anyone else discover the secrets here. I'll turn this place into ruins and everything to ashes. ”

I could see that San'er wasn't joking, he was serious.

"Looks like you had a plan to keep them out before you came down." I said.

"No, you're wrong about that, if I had a plan, why wait here to do it. I can do it without you noticing, and I don't know it. ”

"How is it possible to be unaware? You're really a fool to me. I sneered.

"When you're sucked into a coma by the whirlpool, that's the best time to do it, and if I do it then, how would you know. When you wake up, will you notice? I have many reasons to explain how they disappeared, and the simplest explanation is that they were swept away by the water. ”

I was dumbfounded by what San'er said, he said it very bluntly, and it is not difficult to understand. If he had done it at that time, I would not have noticed anything, and I would not have doubted the reason he explained, because the current was so great that the chance of being washed away was almost 100%.

Judging from this situation, San'er was not premeditated. If the old prostitute hadn't had the idea of playing turquoise, there would have been no such things later, and he and Scar would not have fallen into the water.

I looked at San'er, I didn't know what to say, and two opposing emotions appeared in my heart. One is hatred, because he was the one who hurt the old prostitute and Scar. The other is understanding, I tried to empathize, think about this matter from San'er's point of view, and found that from his point of view, his approach turned out to be right, and I even had a kind of recognition psychology. I don't know if I'm stupid enough to understand someone who harms my brother, but deep down I do have the idea of understanding.

"Let's go, aren't you going to go to the original water hole?" San'er pointed in one direction and motioned for me to go that way.

I walked in the direction San'er pointed out, praying as I went, hoping that the old prostitute and Scar would come up safely. On the way there, I asked San'er if the old prostitute and Scar came up, would he still harm them?

San'er told me very firmly that if they really came up, it would be providence, and they should not be killed, and he would not touch them again.

After a few turns, we walked back to the hole where Scar had fallen.

Maybe the expectations along the way were too high, so I became very lost at the moment, because there was nothing in the water hole except that puddle.

I looked at the puddle on the ground, and my heart was full of guilt, and I longed to jump in and sleep with them. Perhaps this kind of behavior should not be called accompaniment, but perhaps it is more appropriate to call it atonement.

"Let's go, they can't come up, we still have a lot to do." San'er dragged me and said.

"You go out first, I want to stay here longer."

As soon as I finished speaking, I heard a voice somewhere, like someone was making it.

The voice was extremely small and indistinct. I thought I was having an auditory hallucination, and when I looked back at San'er, he also heard it, so it wasn't an auditory hallucination, but no matter how carefully I listened, I couldn't tell where the sound came from.

"Old prostitute, old prostitute, Scar, is Scar you?" I shouted loudly.

I realized that I was wrong, I shouldn't have shouted loudly, and all the echoes drowned out the sound just now. For a while, the water cave was full of my echoes, and I could no longer hear the sound just now.

I covered my ears and stopped listening to my echo, hoping that it would disappear immediately.

After more than a dozen seconds, the echo slowly decreased. As the echo decreases, a sound gradually appears in the echo: dangdang, like the sound of metal hitting stones.

This time I heard clearly, the sound was not in our water hole, it was in the direction we had just walked.

San'er reacted faster than me and walked out of the water hole directly, and I followed closely.

We followed the direction of the knocking sound and turned three or four water holes left and right to confirm the location of the sound.

This water hole is very small, and the sound comes from the wall of the cave on one side, and it is much clearer to listen to the sound here than it was there just now. Although I was desperate to ask if it was an old prostitute, I didn't dare to shout, for fear that the echo would cause unnecessary trouble, so I just knocked twice on the wall of the cave with the back seat of the flashlight.

After I knocked twice, the voice inside the cave wall also knocked twice, and the people inside also spoke.

"Xiao Qi, isn't that you?"

Although the voice was not very clear, I could tell at once that it was an old prostitute.

"It's me" I couldn't wait to shout, "wait for me, I'll go over to you right away."

At this moment, I was very excited, and hurriedly ran out of the water hole, trying to go around to the water hole behind the cave wall, and San'er also ran out.

But when I walked around and came to the water hole behind the cave wall, I didn't see the old prostitute.

"Old prostitute, old prostitute," I shouted, looking around, and I didn't care about any response.

This water hole is not big, I can see it all at a glance, I am a little anxious, no, maybe it is not anxiety, but fear. Because I didn't see San'er, he didn't follow.

Suddenly, I had a kind of worry, did San'er come here before me? Although San'er had promised me that he would not attack the old prostitute again, I still doubted him. Because his position is too firm, I don't really believe that he will let the old prostitute go.

"Boss, boss, dangdang." The sound of people and banging came from the walls of the cave again.

"Scar, is that you?" Afraid of the echo, I lowered my voice a little.

"It's me, boss, we're stuck here."

"Are you with an old prostitute?" I asked.

"Well, we're in this together." Then Scar shouted inside: "Brother prostitute come here, you can hear it clearly here."

"Can you hear me?" I asked, leaning against the cave wall.

"Yes, you can hear clearly over here, but you can't hear clearly over there just now." Scar replied.

"Oh my god, I can really hear it here."

"Old prostitute, what's going on inside, why are you trapped in the stone wall?"

"Damn, don't ask about this yet, hurry up and chisel the stone wall with the guy, I can't hold on anymore."

As soon as I heard the old prostitute say that I couldn't hold on anymore, I quickly answered and ran back, wanting to go back and get the equipment. As soon as he ran out of a few water holes, San'er ran over with two backpacks.

Seeing this situation, I knew that I was thinking too much, and I was wrong for San'er, it seemed that he really wouldn't touch the old prostitute and Scar anymore.

I took a backpack and ran with San'er to the waterhole where I could speak clearly.

The process of digging the cave wall will not be described in detail, it is all real physical work, and San'er has much more strength than me. It was not easy to dig a hole in the stone wall, and it took me more than 20 minutes to dig a small hole big enough for my head to enter.

I poked my head in, and I saw that the old prostitute and Scar were all soaked in water. Inside is a triangular space, seven or eight meters wide at the widest point, and there is water underneath, and the flashlight can't shine to the end, so it looks like it should be very deep.

The old prostitute and Scar each grasped the edge of the stone sticking out of the cave wall with one hand, and struggled to expose their heads and shoulders to the water. Even though their faces were pale, the old prostitute still had a bright smile when she saw me.
