I couldn't believe my eyes and patted my head: "So you've been following us!" The message, the words that Lord Dolma said to us—is it—"

"Yes, that's what I asked her to tell you temporarily. In a hurry, I had no other way. That's a long story. Wen Jindao, crawled into the gap, folded his hands and made a gesture, put it to his mouth as a mouthpiece, and made a series of "gurgling" sounds.

I wonder what she's doing, is she saying hello to those snakes? I heard a gurgling echo from the depths of the crack. After a while, someone squeezed out of it, and when I looked at it, I found that it was a stuffy oil bottle.

He squeezed over to us, looked at Wen Jin and then at me. I just looked at the two of them dumbfounded, "What's going on?" Suddenly I felt something wrong, "Damn, is this a game, shouldn't you be in a group?" ”

These two also do not age, and they both belong to the same archaeological team, and they are also deeply involved in this matter, and I suddenly thought of what a friend of mine said, the stuffy oil bottle is definitely not a person, is it accurate by him?

The stuffy oil bottle shook his head and said nothing, I looked at Wen Jin, Wen Jin said: "It's not as disgusting as you say, I am innocent with him." ”

I frowned, and sincerely wanted to kowtow to them: "Big brother and sister, let me go, what the hell is going on?" ”

Wen Jin said to me: "There is nothing complicated in this matter, in fact, when Zhuoma was looking for you in that village, he had already recognized me, but he did not demolish me. When I found you at the mouth of the canyon, he chased after you, and we had already met. What happened next was indeed a conspiracy, but it was also for the sake of prudence. ”

I looked at the stuffy bottle, and he nodded.

I got angry, "It's too much, why don't you say it?" ”

He looked at me: "I already hinted at you, I thought you already knew. ”

"! I don't know what I look like! "I almost jumped up, and I realized at once, why the stuffy oil bottle has been restless, God, he has been worried about Wen Jin's safety.

The stuffy oil bottle on the side immediately made a "soft" gesture to me, and I realized it and immediately lowered my voice: "You are too unrighteous enough!" ”

"No, he's right to do this, otherwise, I'll fall into the hands of your female leader, and she's not a fuel-efficient lamp." Wen Jindao. "And, at the time, I didn't know if any of you had a problem, and I needed to find someone to check it on me."

That's probably why the stuffy oil bottle came back and started checking to see if we were wearing masks. Damn, everything happens for a reason.

"What about the tapes?" I asked, "What the hell is going on with this whole thing?" ”

As soon as the words ended, there was another scream and several gunshots outside.

The stuffy oil bottle snorted and said, "If they shoot like this, they will lure all the snakes over." ”

Wen Jin listened to the outside, turned his head and patted my head, and said to me like a big sister: "This is a plan, it's a long story, so long that you can't imagine it." I'll tell you all these things, but now is not the time, let's get out of here. As he spoke, he pointed in one direction.

I sighed, but knew she was right, so I nodded, and the men all stood up and quickly retreated deeper into the dirt tunnel.

As I walked, I asked her, "What are your plans?" Aren't you going to meet my third uncle? ”

"We don't have time," Wen Jin said, "Don't you feel that the sound of water around you is getting less and less?" ”

I didn't pay attention to this, who still has the jīng power to pay attention to this in this kind of place. Wen Jindao: "The underground waterway here is extremely complicated, but when there is water, it is not actually a maze, you at least know whether you are going to the ground, as long as you go up against any water flow, you will definitely find an inlet on the ground." And if you follow the water, you will definitely find the end of this underground waterway, the largest underground water storage lake. But once the water is gone, you'll never be able to get out. Now that the rain has stopped, the water level in the swamp will gradually decrease, and in a day or two, the water will dry up completely, and then we will be trapped here. That's why I asked Lord Dolma to tell you that if you don't arrive in time, you'll have to wait for more than ten years. But you're lucky this time, this year's rain was so heavy that it flooded the entire swamp, otherwise it would have been too late. Regarding your third uncle, Wu Sansheng has the same destination as ours, as long as he doesn't have an accident, we will definitely meet him. ”

As soon as I heard this, I immediately nodded: "Then are we going up or down now?" ”

Wen Jin pointed down: "The biggest secret is close at hand, are you going to give up just like that?" ”

A stone's throw away? I said in my heart that I did not believe. Wen Jin looked at his watch and said: "It's almost dawn now, most of those snakes will go to the ground at night, and they will all come down after dawn, and it will be more troublesome for us to walk at that time." We'll have to find a place to hide before dawn, and I'll tell you if you have anything, and I'll tell you that it's better to concentrate on walking. ”

When Wen Jin said this, there were almost no harsh words, but her eyes and her analytical tone made me feel naturally obedient, as if I was born with a leader's temperament. No wonder she was the leader of Xisha back then, and even the third uncle was taboo.

I didn't bother her anymore, and the three of them immediately quickened their pace and went all the way down the tunnel. Soon came to another tunnel.

It was already very deep, and the pit was obviously not as intricate as it was, with few forks, and with the mud on our bodies, it went very smoothly, and by six or seven o'clock in the morning we had walked a considerable distance. There is no silt in the shafts here, only natural caves, and it is difficult to see signs of artificial excavation, and it is obvious that almost no one will come here.

We could hear the sound of water fluttering in the rocks, and it was clear that the water from all the shafts was gathered all around, and the end of the water storage system of the entire West Queen Mother City should be very close.

At this time, the morning light on the ground should have receded, although there is no sound of snakes nearby, but we all know that these snakes are staggering, once they return to the nest, they are likely to appear anywhere, according to Wen Jin's experience, it is better to hide at this time.

How to hide is experience, she let the stuffy oil bottle take off her clothes, smear the mud with the water from the kettle, pile up the ends of the passage with broken stones, and then tear the clothes into the cracks.

"In this way, in the eyes of the snake, the passage here is closed." Wen Jin said, "I've been here like this all these days. ”

I took a few sips of water, and I felt that such a weak barrier would not be useful, and if I ran into that kind of giant snake, wouldn't it be a fart and fall?

At this time, a small bonfire was lit, and it was only a little warmer, and the cháo here was very angry, and yīn was so cold that there was no way to rest without the fire.

After a moment's pause, I gradually relaxed, feeling a little apprehensive. Wen Jin handed me something to eat, and looking at my expression, I knew that I couldn't help but want to ask questions, so that I could ask whatever I wanted.

I had been thinking about it for a long time, and I immediately cheered up and wanted to ask her questions, but suddenly I found that my mind was very confused, and there were so many questions to ask that I couldn't ask them.

"It's okay, you can ask one by one, I expected this to happen." Wen Jin looked at me with a smile.

I sorted out the questions in my mind, thought about which one was the most important, and after thinking for a while, I found that no matter where I started to ask, no matter what I asked, it could lead to confusion, and there were too many puzzles in my mind, big and small, countless and innumerable, and there must be a systematic way of asking questions, so I said, "Let's still ask according to the time, how about it?" ”

She nodded, "No problem." ”

I asked her, "A question, what I want to know the most, maybe a little greedy, can you tell me what the hell is going on in Xisha?" ”

Wen Jin looked at me for a moment, his expression was surprised: "Your question is too big, a lot of things have happened in Xisha, which one are you referring to?" ”

I said to Wen Jin: "What happened after you disappeared in the ancient tomb?" ”

Wen Jin was quiet, as if he didn't expect me to ask this at the beginning, after thinking about it, he suddenly sighed and said, "You actually want to know about this matter...... It seems that you do already know a lot, this matter, it is difficult to explain clearly, how did your third uncle tell you? ”

I roughly told her what the third uncle told me in the hospital before, and then said to her: "He said that he didn't enter the institution with you, so he doesn't know what happened after that." After you disappeared in the tomb, he has been looking for you, but after so many years of searching, he has found nothing. He also said he must find you. ”

After hearing this, Wen Jin smiled strangely, paused, and said: "I originally wanted to tell you this question at the end, because there is a very key premise in this that you must understand, but this premise, if I just say it, you will not believe it." I don't know if you're ready to know the truth right now. ”

I said: "Early death and early superbirth, you just told me that the third uncle is actually a woman, I was born to him, I can also believe it, you just say, in the past two years, I can already believe everything." ”

Wen Jin still looked a little worried, thought about it, and asked again: "Do you have any judgment on this matter?" ”

I shook my head: "I don't have any judgment. ”

Wen Jin looked at the stuffy oil bottle and seemed to be communicating with him, but the latter didn't react. She steadied herself, brushed her hair, and as if she had made up her mind, she pulled a notebook out of her backpack.

It's a new notebook, a modern style, I think I bought it recently, and sure enough, she still keeps the habit of writing notes. She opened her notebook and took out a yellowed old photo from it, I looked at it, this photo is very familiar, it is the group photo taken by the third uncle before they went to sea together, I don't know how many times I have seen this photo, I can recite the position of each person in it, so I just glanced at it and handed it back, saying, "I have seen this photo." ”

Wen Jindao: "Actually, all the secrets are in this photo. But this secret is difficult for ordinary people to discover, and all the things in Xisha originate in it. The secret is not complicated, but if I tell you directly, you will definitely not be able to accept it, let me tell you first, what is hidden in this photo. ”

At this time, a concept suddenly flashed in my mind, could it be that when I was drinking with those friends before, what they said about the eleventh person was true, and there was a mysterious person hidden in this photo other than the ten people? Wen Jin wants to tell me this?

Looking at her appearance, it doesn't seem so simple, I don't know what her intentions are.

Wen Jin gave me the photo again, and asked me to show her the names and locations of the people who could be read on the photos.

I looked at it and said, "I only know a few people who are more involved in this matter, and I can know the names of the others, but I don't know which one it is." ”

Wen Jin said: "It's okay, you can just read it." ”

I first saw the bottle of stuffy oil that caught my attention the most, and said, "This is my little brother." Wen Jin nodded, then pointed to a girl on the side, "This is you." Wen Jin nodded again, "Then, this is the third uncle." I pointed to the third uncle. I looked at Wen Jin for a while, waited for her to nod and continued, but this time she didn't move at all, but looked straight at me.

I was stunned for a moment, what did she mean by this? Wen Jin took the photo over: "Why do you think this person is your third uncle?" ”
