The second uncle waved his hand to the others, and everyone continued to walk forward.

I turned my head to look at Wen Mo and saw that he hadn't moved. I deliberately walked at the back to see what he was going to do.

I saw Wen Mo staring at those skulls tightly for a while.

Then I was amazed to see him crouch down, bite his finger with his mouth, and drop a drop of blood on a skull, and then I noticed that the blood had seeped into the surface of the skull, and the skull seemed to glow with a faint halo.

The halo was fleeting, and when I looked closer, all the skulls looked ordinary, and nothing unusual was visible.

After Wenmo had done all this, he turned around and followed us, and I hurriedly turned my head and pretended that nothing had happened.

I pretend to be calm on the surface, but inside I am fluctuating, I don't understand why Wenmo did this, but it is certain that he is hiding something from us, he seems to know a lot of things. Although I still believe that he will not harm us, I am more curious about his background and purpose.

It was past noon when we found this place, and it had been four or five hours since we landed on the island, and the weather was not good, so it was already dark all around, so we decided to find a place to camp first, hoping that the fog would lift in the evening or tomorrow.

We camped in a flat clearing near the depths of the island.

Everyone set up tents, set up bonfires, and Zhou Cheng and Qi Feng started to cook a pack of instant noodles for everyone. Eating instant noodles and compressed biscuits, I miss the miscellaneous fish hot pot I ate in the past two days. But after all, we are fighting on the ground, and we must avoid all unnecessary things, so we still have to endure this desire for food.

Qi Feng opened a bag of convenience while counting the number of people present, "One, two, three, four...... Seven, eight. Then he said to Zhou Cheng: "Brother Cheng, it's enough to cook three more packs." ”

Zhou Cheng was burning the fire, and when he heard Qi Feng's words, he glanced up at him, "Your kid was taught math by the doorman?" How many packs is boiled for three more packs? How many people there are! ”

"Eight!" Qi Feng looked a little innocent, "I just counted!" Don't believe ......"

Before Qi Feng finished speaking, he was stunned, and Zhou Cheng scolded: "Damn!" He jumped up and raised the gun at his waist.

I was taken aback by his action, "What are you two doing!" Something is wrong! ”

Zhou Cheng looked around vigilantly, and without answering, Qi Feng said: "I just cooked noodles according to the head, but I didn't expect to count eight people from the head, but we only have seven people!" ”

Hearing his words, we all froze, "You mean, we have one more person!" ”

Zhou Cheng nodded, then raised his head to indicate that there seemed to be a black shadow squatting on the edge of the grass not far ahead.

As soon as we saw it, we immediately pulled out the short knife on our waists, and then I surrounded Lantern Xiao and Wenmo.

When we got closer, we used a flashlight to shine it, and then we realized that it was a false alarm, and this place was not a squatting person at all, but a stone man half buried in the earth.

After seeing it clearly, we all breathed a sigh of relief. The second uncle who stayed in the camp next to him asked, "How is it?" What is it? ”

"It's okay," Lantern Xiao waved his hand, "It's just a stone statue, nothing!" ”

"That's not right!" An Ye said, "When I set up the tent just now, I walked around here, and there was no such stone man!" ”

A few of us returned to the camp again, and Lantern Xiao said: "I said Uncle An, you are not young at this age, and the light is so bad, it is inevitable that you can't see clearly, it's nothing!" ”

An Ye snorted coldly, "Stinky boy! Speaking of eyes, don't look at you young, you are far behind! When I looked at it, there was absolutely no such stone figure here! ”

Lantern Xiao is a cheap person, he doesn't know what to do, and he still doesn't give up, "Then you keep saying what's going on, could it be that it grew out of the ground by itself?" ”

"Hey, hey!" Although I don't like An Ye very much, but now that the action has just begun, everything is still trying to stay united, and everything is focused on the overall situation. So I decided to make a round, "Forget it, don't talk about it, maybe the stone man was covered by the sand and gravel, and our tossing tent, or other reasons, caused the sand and gravel to fall off, so the stone man leaked out." ”

I don't know, whether the two of them listened to me, or what, Lantern Xiao and Uncle An didn't speak again.

At this time, the second uncle stood up, "Everyone is also tired, rest early after eating, the sunrise time here is earlier than on land, start early tomorrow, I hope tomorrow will be a good weather!" After the second uncle finished speaking, he walked to the tent, walked two steps, looked back and said, "You must remember to arrange someone to keep vigil at night, just in case, this place is unusual!" ”

After everyone finished eating, we decided that except for An Ye and Second Uncle, who were older and did not participate in the vigil, the other five people would take turns on duty. Lantern Xiao quietly discussed with me, trying not to let Wenmo keep vigil alone. I know what he means when he says this, Lantern Xiao doesn't trust Wenmo very much because of his extremely mysterious identity.

So, in the end, it was decided that Qi Feng and Zhou Cheng would be in a class, Lantern Festival would be in a class by himself, and Wen Mo and I would be in a class, and Zhou Cheng would start first.

I have a problem with people, if I think about things, I can't sleep well. Because I was worried about getting up on duty for a while, I couldn't sleep at all because I woke up from time to time.

But in order to be energetic tomorrow, I had to be patient and lay down in a daze for a while. When I woke up again, I heard the cough of the Lantern Festival outside, it seemed that it was the turn of the Lantern Festival, I looked at the time, it was almost over, so I got up and walked out, Wenmo saw me come out, a little surprised, raised his hand to look at the time, and said, "You got up too early, go to sleep for a while!" I'm staring! ”

I waved my hand, "Forget it, I can't sleep." ”

Lantern Xiao casually lit a cigarette and looked at me deeply, "Zhuo Ran, do you believe in fate?" ”

"Me?" I smiled, "I didn't believe it before, but now I do!" I believe everything now! I've seen everything I should see, what I shouldn't see, what I can imagine, what I can't imagine! ”

Lantern Xiao nodded, "Many things are not transferred by our will, even if we are ourselves, sometimes we can't help ourselves. Perhaps our destiny has been determined from the moment we are born. ”

Lantern Xiao's words surprised me a little, in my impression, he has always been a master who is not afraid of heaven and earth, although Lantern Xiao looks very arrogant, hanging, but I know that he is a person who will not compromise easily. Such a person is now talking to me about faith, which makes me a little confused.

I smiled and asked, "Lantern Festival, are you stimulated by something!" How can she be like a submissive little daughter-in-law now! ”

Lantern Xiao didn't smile, "Since Qilian Mountain, I have felt this way. Now I know better that we are probably on a path from which there is no turning back, and once we have started, we cannot stop. ”

I don't quite understand, "Why can't I stop, after this incident, no matter what I find, I won't continue, love!" ”

Lantern Xiao shook his head, "We are all in the net, we can't get rid of our identity and family, you should also know something about the Tang family now, I believe that the original identity of the Zhuo family, you also know it, right?" For thousands of years, it was simply impossible to get rid of! ”

Hearing Lantern Xiao's words, I was shocked, it seems that he already knew that the Zhuo family was a member of Faqiu, I opened my mouth and asked, "Lantern Xiao, do you know my business?" ”

Lantern Xiao nodded, "When I also came back from Qilian Mountain, I listened to what my father said, you are a descendant of the Faqiu Sect!" So when did you know that yourself? ”

"I'm later than you know!" I said, "I told it when I was in Weihai, and my second uncle told me. I don't care what my identity is, in short, after this time, I will never participate in the fight again. ”

Lantern Xiao raised her head and looked at me with some regret and resentment, "Zhuo Ran, you are the most special here, anyone can quit, only you can't!" Unless ......"

As soon as Lantern Xiao said this, he suddenly stopped, and I was listening to the second half of his sentence intently, but there was no follow-up. I hurriedly asked, "You go on, unless anything!" ”

Lantern Xiao didn't speak, but looked straight at me, I looked carefully into his eyes, and found that he was not looking at me, but looking over my shoulder, staring at my back.

The sudden action of Lantern Festival made my back cold, and I slowly turned my head to see a dark figure standing not far behind us, outside the camp.

I remember the location, where the stone man was found. But it looked very wrong, I asked Lantern Xiao, "Is this the stone man we went to see just now?" ”

Lantern Xiao waved his hand, signaling that it was wrong, and said in his mouth: "That stone man didn't seem to be so tall just now, right?" ”

I remember the dinner scene, and I do remember that half of the stone figures were buried in the ground, and only half were on the ground, so we mistakenly thought that someone was squatting there.

Lantern Xiao and I took a flashlight and walked to the side of the stone man, intending to find out, but we were surprised to find that the stone man was almost all exposed on the ground.

I thought for a while and said, "Could this be that Qi Feng and Zhou Cheng dug it up just now?" ”

Lantern Xiao looked around, "There are no traces of excavation here, and I haven't heard Zhou Cheng talk about it at all," Speaking of this, Lantern Xiao's face suddenly changed, "It won't be for me to say it, right?" ”

"What are you talking about?" I asked hurriedly.

"At dinner, I said that this stone man grew out of the ground, could it," Lan Xiao looked at the stone man, "could it really come up from the ground by itself?" ”
