The second uncle pondered for a while and nodded, "That well is the only source of water nearby, and it is most likely to find the entrance to the passage from there." And," the second uncle lowered his voice, "Do you remember, that dried corpse dumpling like a praying mantis." ”

The second uncle's words reminded me again of the weird and terrifying scene at that time, and I couldn't help but shiver.

The second uncle continued: "This shows that there must be something strange in that well!" Maybe the entrance to the passage is really right there! ”

Thinking of the dried corpse in the well, my heart suddenly retreated again, "Second uncle, we just escaped from the black tower." Now that we know that there is something strange in that well, let's still run inside, we won't just get out of Longtan and enter the tiger's den! ”

The second uncle looked at me with a smile, "Big nephew, are you afraid?" Saying that, the second uncle patted me on the shoulder, "The line of inverted fighting is actually a knife licking blood, seeking victory in danger, and this is what you play!" ”

I cried and said, "Second uncle, can I not play?" ”

The second uncle looked at me deeply, and then stood up, "Eldest nephew, sometimes, there are some things that are not decided by oneself or controlled by oneself, this is fate." But this is my life, not yours, and it should be up to me to end it! ”

I didn't understand what the second uncle meant, "Second uncle, what are you talking about?" What does it end? ”

The second uncle didn't answer my words, "The road behind is very dangerous, and I am not sure of it myself." That's all there is to it! ”

"No!" As soon as the second uncle's words fell, Kong Xue on the side immediately walked over, "Second uncle, I know that you are for our good, but I will not leave like this, I will continue to walk, for me and for my father!" ”

The second uncle looked at Kong Xue calmly, "Xiaoxue, I know what you think in your heart, I advise you not to, it's very dangerous to do that!" ”

Kong Xue didn't speak, just looked straight at the second uncle. Shi Tao on the side said softly: "Elder Zhuo, I am responsible for Xiaoxue's safety, I just ask you to give me some advice." ”

The second uncle shook his head, didn't speak, walked straight to the tent, and then threw down a sentence, "Tomorrow morning, I will go down the well to investigate." ”

After listening to the words of the second uncle, my heart was cold, go down the well to explore? I couldn't help but think of that somewhat deformed dried corpse again.

Unconsciously, the night fell, and the golden sand dunes gradually turned into pitch-black silhouettes, endless, like stormy waves.

I looked at the desert at night and couldn't help but sigh, is this just the life of the second uncle? Who did I provoke, why can't I extricate myself now! I can't watch my second uncle take risks, but I stay out of the matter!

Kong Xue walked over slowly and sat down beside me, "Maybe your second uncle is right, the danger here is beyond our imagination, you really shouldn't continue." I'm selfish for letting you come along, and I can't let you suffer innocently anymore! ”

I heard the meaning of Kong Xue's words, and I couldn't help but feel a little beautiful in my heart, I looked at Kong Xue, the bright moonlight sprinkled on her face, and her handsome and beautiful appearance added a bit of cold breath.

I smiled and said, "If I leave, you have three long and two short, and I will become the second Dawut!" ”

Kong Xue was slightly stunned, her face suddenly turned red, and the corners of her mouth curved into a charming arc, "From the first time we met, to now, every time you meet me, it seems that nothing good has happened!" If you had known this was the case, you should have turned around and run away when you saw me! ”

I frowned, "Who said nothing good happened?" What a great thing! ”

Kong Xue looked at me in surprise, "Is there one?" ”

I nodded solemnly, "Of course, I'm looking at this good thing right now!" ”

Kong Xue snorted and laughed, and the beating firelight on the side was softly reflected on Kong Xue's face, this alluring smile made me feel a little stupid. Kong Xue also looked at me fixedly, and unconsciously I slowly approached Kong Xue's face. Suddenly my lips felt a softness, and for a moment I felt like an electric shock, and my heart almost stopped. How I wish time had stood still!

The sudden "click" made the two of us sober up at once, and Kong Xue lowered her head with a flushed face. I followed the sound and looked, but saw Shi Tao looking at me with a guilty face, and he was still stepping on a broken poplar branch under his feet, "I, I, I didn't mean to, I didn't expect it, I'm really sorry!" ”

I also felt a little embarrassed, just now Kong Xue and I couldn't help but be a little forgetful, I actually forgot that Shi Tao was still behind, I didn't know what to say, so I had to say incoherently: "Brother Tao, it's okay, let's ......." The atmosphere was extremely embarrassing for a while!

Kong Xue stood up, didn't dare to look at me, didn't dare to look at Shi Tao, and walked into the tent quickly, "It's not early, let's rest!" ”

For some reason, I slept very soundly that night, and woke up in the morning feeling refreshed. We ate something, the second uncle picked up the equipment and prepared to leave, before leaving, he said to me: "Big nephew, after we leave, you light firewood, raise smoke, every other week there will be helicopters to and from the exploration base, they will notice you when they see the smoke, the food and water here should be enough for you to last for a week, maybe it won't take that long." ”

Before the second uncle finished speaking, I waved my hand and directly picked up the equipment, "Second uncle, you have your life, I have mine, and I have to go to the end." ”

The second uncle was stunned for a moment, then sighed and shook his head, "Since that's the case, let's go!" Follow me in everything, if you have three long and two short, your father will have to chop me! ”

We climbed down the roof and came to the outside of the ancient well stone house, and I cautiously looked inside through the doorway, "Second uncle, did you say that thing is still there?" ”

The second uncle shook his head, "It shouldn't be, Zongzi still likes places with heavy yin qi, and after we left last time, it should go back." ”

"Oooh," I nodded, "that's fine!" ”

The second uncle carefully poked his head in to take a look, and then climbed in first, and we followed closely behind the second uncle and entered the stone house. The inside of the stone house is the same as the last time we came, and there are all kinds of traces on the ground that we left from last time.

The ancient well in front of me, when I saw it for the first time, it was simply the source of life, and now when I saw it, I suddenly felt that this well had become extremely gloomy.

We gathered around the wellhead and cautiously shone our flashlights downward. The water at the bottom of the well reflected the light of the flashlight, and the water in the well was very clear, and I didn't see anything abnormal, which made me breathe a sigh of relief, and the terrible picture I imagined in the center of my mind did not appear.

The second uncle untied the rope from his backpack, "You wait for me on it first, I'll go down and have a look!" As he spoke, the second uncle planned to tie a rope around his waist.

Shi Tao stretched out his hand to stop the second uncle, "Elder Zhuo, I have also done it a few times, and I have some experience, and I still do the laborious work." I just wanted to speak, Shi Tao turned to me and said: "Don't fight anyone, if you have skills, I should be okay, I am the most suitable to go!" ”

I really can't refute this, among the four of us, Shi Tao's skills should be the best, objectively speaking, he is indeed the most suitable candidate.

Shi Tao tied a rope around his waist, slowly down along the wall of the well, we watched from above, Shi Tao went down to the water, I couldn't help but guess, is Shi Tao about to enter the water?

But the truth is not what I imagined, Shi Tao looked around, kicked the wall of the well with one foot, and his body was attached to another position, only to see him turn around and bend down into the wall of the well.

Seeing this scene, the second uncle frowned, "It seems that there should be a passage on the wall of the well." ”

We nervously watched Shi Tao disappear below, only the rope was still being pulled into the well at a constant speed, allowing us to speculate that Shi Tao was still moving forward, and should be safe. After a long while, the rope did not move, which means that Shi Tao also stopped. Without the feedback of the information, our hearts are all in our throats. Soon, however, Shi Tao came out of the wall of the well and motioned upwards for us to pull him up.

After Shi Tao came up, he told us that there was a passage on the wall of the well, but it didn't look like it was dug artificially, it should have collapsed naturally, and he walked into it for a while, and found no danger, but how deep it was further along, it was impossible to speculate, so he retreated.

I asked cautiously, "Brother Tao, have you seen anything like a slender dried corpse?" ”

Shi Tao thought for a moment and shook his head, "I didn't find it!" ”

I turned my head to look at the second uncle, "How about the second uncle, can't you get down?" ”

The second uncle gritted his teeth, "Down, of course!" Saying that, the second uncle took out a short knife from his bag, "Lao Tzu has never seen any kind of zongzi for so many years, there is no reason to let a praying mantis-like thing scare back!" Walk! ”

In this way, the four of us entered the mermaid and carefully entered the passage on the wall of the well.

The second uncle touched the stone wall of the passage, "This should be caused by erosion when the amount of groundwater is sufficient." It seems that we are not far from the dark river! "The second uncle's words made us feel a little calmer, at least our general direction is correct.

We walked along this passage all the way, because it was not artificially built, the inside of the passage was sometimes wide and narrow, when it was wide, it was almost enough for two people to pass, and when it was narrow, we had to go sideways and have a deflated stomach.

We walked along the passage for a while, and gradually I seemed to hear a sound of water, and I should be getting closer and closer to the dark river, but my heart kept thinking, where did that praying mantis-like dried corpse dumpling go? There's no reason to disappear out of thin air! This situation is the most terrifying, you know what is going to happen, but you don't know when, so the nerves are always tense and the physical and mental stress is huge. It's better to be ignorant of nothing, to be ignorant of what's ahead and the dangers you're about to encounter, it's much easier than it is now! For a while, I wished I could meet that dried corpse dumpling soon, as the saying goes, damn it! Early death and early superbirth!
