Chapter 110: The Shadow of the Shallows

I stretched and looked at the others, Kong Xue and Shi Tao were still asleep, and Wen Moyi was sitting on the side, I don't know if they were also asleep. It was extremely quiet, except for the occasional crackling of firewood from the fire. To be honest, I was hungry, but we didn't have enough food anymore, so we had to plan and eat in portions, otherwise we would have to go hungry for the rest of the journey!

Hunger can also affect mood, and there are probably two types, either upset or malaise, and I belong to the former now, and the hunger in my belly makes me a little restless. I suddenly remembered what Wen Mo had just said, there was a shallow river near here, and I wondered if I would find some fish in that place, and if that was the case, it would be great.

Having made up my mind, I stood up and looked at the three people who were all resting, and I couldn't bear to wake them up, so I decided to go alone. It seems that hunger also produces a third situation, and that is inexplicable audacity! I picked up my flashlight, then took a sapper shovel, and set off in the direction that Wenmo had just pointed out.

As I walked, I looked around, and this was a larger space than the passage, and I thought it should be a passage in the middle of the passage, which also played the role of a passage hub. In some places around here, I saw some crockpots that had been broken.

Seeing the traces of human sacrifices or daily life tools made me feel an inexplicable sense of intimacy. Maybe it's because I haven't felt the breath of real life in my surroundings for too long! I walked in the direction that Wenmo pointed for a while, passing through two or three of those halls one after another, and I was a little bottomless as I walked, and my heart began to feel weak, and I even suspected that I was taking the wrong route, or that Wenmo was pointing in the wrong direction. I decided to go a little further, and if I still didn't find the so-called shoal, I had to turn back and go back. However, after only a few more steps, I knew that I had made a mistake, for I had already heard the sound of the river flowing, and finally I found a larger doorway in one of the passages ahead, and through the doorway, there was a stone staircase that went down.

I stood on the top of the stone steps and shone down with a flashlight, and I could see the waves of water reflecting the white light, but I could see that the water here was not deep, and below it should be the shallow beach that Wenmo mentioned.

I was about to walk down the stone steps, when I suddenly saw a dark shadow flashing next to the shoal, I was startled, thinking that I was hallucinating, and subconsciously turned the flashlight to the side, and I was surprised to see a vague back suddenly disappearing into the darkness.

I grabbed the sapper shovel and ran down the stone steps to chase after me, but when I reached the top of the shoal, I realized that I had lost track of the dark shadow. Once again, I wondered if I was hallucinating from fatigue. How could there be people in this place? Could it be someone from the Tang family, but I don't think so!

I raised the flashlight and looked around, but I still didn't find anything, I suddenly felt a little hairy, and secretly scolded myself for being too reckless! If I come down alone, if I really encounter danger, I may not be able to cope with it!

Thinking of this, I hurriedly turned around and walked back, the more I thought about it, the more scared I became, I couldn't help but speed up my pace, I lowered my head and quickly climbed up the stone steps, but when I was about to climb to the top, a pair of feet suddenly appeared in the aperture of the flashlight!

I was so frightened that I staggered, almost rolled down the stone steps, I took a closer look, these shoes are very familiar, I moved the flashlight up, I! It turned out to be Wenmo!

I was furious, "What are you doing!" Why don't you make a sound with me! I almost scared you to death! I let out a long breath and managed to calm my mind.

Wen Mo didn't speak, just looked at me calmly, and I continued: "Boss, I really convinced you, you saved me back just for fun and scare, right?" ”

Wen Mo said lightly: "I opened my eyes and found that you were gone, so I came out to take a look." ”

I said in my heart that you lied to a fool, if you hadn't followed me, how could you have known to come to this shoal to find me in the first place! But why didn't Wenmo follow me but didn't make a sound, did he want to harm me, this is impossible, and there is no need to be so troublesome! As long as he didn't save me, I would have died several times. Could it be that this person is cold on the surface, but he likes to play this kind of prank on the inside? It's not going to be so funny, it's a bit perverted! I looked at Wenmo and sighed, what a weirdo!

I suddenly remembered what had just happened, and quickly asked, "By the way, did you just see a dark shadow flashing below?" ”

Wen Mo was slightly stunned, then shook his head, "No!" ”

"This ......." I suddenly became shaken, if Wenmo didn't see it, could it really be that I was dazzled? Suddenly, I thought of another possibility, what if Wenmo saw it and deliberately said he didn't see it? Could it be that he is deliberately hiding the truth? But why is that? Why did he cover for the figure? Could it be that he still has accomplices?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look at Wen Mo with a strange look, Wen Mo looked back at me a few times, and then turned back to the passage.

I caught up and asked, "You really didn't see anything?" ”

Wen Mo slowly turned his head, "Do you think everyone wants to harm you?" ”

I was stunned by his questioning, and he told him that I seemed to have persecution paranoia. But what he said is not unreasonable, I once doubted Wenmo and my second uncle, but in fact, these two people helped me and saved me the most, so I did go a little too far.

Seeing that I wasn't talking, Wen Mo turned around and continued to walk forward. I took two steps to catch up with him again, and said apologetically: "Maybe during this time, I have experienced too many things, I am a little too sensitive, I don't mean anything else." I hope you don't mind. ”

Wen Mo shook his head, "It doesn't matter. Actually, you shouldn't have been here! ”

Wenmo's words made my heart depressed for a while, and I said in my heart, I understand what you said, but what can I do, I am also helpless!

The two of us returned to the place where we had just rested, and the unexpected incident just now made me forget my original purpose and forget all about finding food.

Back next to the fire, Kong Xue and Shi Tao were still sleeping, and it seemed that they were also quite tired.

Wenmo and I sat down by the fire again, picked up some branches and sticks around us and threw them into the fire. For what happened just now, I still feel very guilty in my heart, Wen Mo just risked death to get me out of the mouth of the, I turned around and still doubted him before I thanked him, this is simply ungrateful! I kind of look down on myself!
