"The shepherd can't play anymore," the fat man shook his head. "Brother, your way of thinking is outdated for too long. Let me ask you, what year is this year?"

Zhang Qiling kept a cold face, not intending to answer.If a straight-talking person like Fatty were to say the three words "shepherd" with a strong written taste, unless someone frequently instilled them, he should use words such as "shepherd's melon".Zhang Qiling felt that this kind of bookish noun style was familiar, but he didn't have much impression.

"[-] years," the fat man sighed, "This year is [-] years—brother, I think your brain is completely in the state of more than ten years ago. Jude Kao and Qi Yu are all from the previous generation. It's not my turn to be on the stage now."

A rare moment of stagnation and bewilderment appeared on Zhang Qiling's face. The span of more than ten years is really too big for a person, big enough to cause relatives to die, friends to betray, and enough to change a person's fate.The fat man looked at the Zhang Qiling who was different from any time in his memory, and suddenly felt that it might not be a bad thing. This is a pursuer who is still on the road and remains unknown to most things, rather than passing through the fog, A lone wolf who clings to the fragments of truth and goes his own way.Although his pursuit is as stubborn as his choice, there may be some room for redemption after all.

"There are some things that only Wu Xie can really do, so he went by himself. But I think it's rare for the fat man to come to such an evil place, and he can't let him steal the limelight by himself," the fat man rubbed his chin, "brother , although you have amnesia, but the fighting power is still there, as long as we find the way, it will be a matter of time for us to follow. Even if you want to do it alone - you can see that we don't want anything now, if something happens, don't say it alone I guess it's about lying down and being fucked."

"There's someone there," Zhang Qiling didn't know if he heard Fatty's words, and shone his flashlight forward, "Who is it, come out."

His tone was calm, yet clear and powerful, inexplicably intimidating.Almost as soon as he finished saying "come", footsteps came from a dark place not far away.

"Friends, friends," the man said, keeping his hands up as he approached, "I swear I just got here, and I didn't see whatever you were doing."

"Fuck, it's a girl," the fat man became excited when he heard the voice, and almost didn't jump up when he saw who was coming, "Damn it, Liang Wan?"

The excitement he expressed before and after this sentence is different. The former is due to the long drought and the rain, while the latter is full of thousands of words.

Liang Wan was wearing a set of black sportswear, which was scratched in several places, and his hair was a mess. He looked very embarrassed, and his face was blushing.

It's not that there are no women in the Dou Dou team, but when Liang Wan came up to him, Zhang Qiling knew with just a glance that this woman definitely couldn't have come in Dou Dou, and she didn't have any threatening power, just like a docile kitten who doesn't Possibly as a puma chasing a stag across the prairie.So Zhang Qiling chose to remain silent, just looked at the other party, waiting for an explanation.

"...I don't know anything," Liang Wan looked at Zhang Qiling's face clearly, and first stayed for a while, then saw the fat man again, and immediately shouted, "I swear I just fell asleep!"

"So you're sleepwalking now?" the fat man rolled his eyes.

Liang Wan was in a hurry: "I can sleepwalk so far. I sleepwalked home early. Who will go up and down with you. Take a look at this."

As she said that, she turned around and took off the sportswear jacket on her body, revealing the close-fitting halter top underneath.The fat man groaned, and hurriedly declined, saying "you're polite", while pretending to cover his eyes, he saw Zhang Qiling staring intently at Liang Wan's back through his fingers, and sighed in his heart, so the little brother is also a man.

"I've seen this tattoo before, but it's not you. It's in Medog, and it's a man."

Only then did the fat man realize that Zhang Qiling was looking at the tattoo on Liang Wan's back. He put down his hand covering his eyes and asked, "This is only available when the body temperature is high. Did you just soak in the hot spring?"

"I'm running a fever." Liang Wan didn't care about the two men behind him, "To be precise, it's this tattoo that's running hot—it's never been like this. When I woke up, my whole body was running hot, and I thought I was It was thrown into the rice cooker."

The fat man muttered a few words, but Liang Wan couldn't hear anything except the word "aphrodisiac". He was about to open his mouth to scold, but he heard Zhang Qiling say, "Shepherd."

"what?"

"The shepherd you just mentioned refers to the Wang family?" Zhang Qiling turned to the fat man, "She is the Wang family, and that tattoo reminds her of something."

"My mother is Wang Hui," Liang Wan replied a little nervously, "I've heard people say it too, but I actually don't know who she is. You mean, she's reminding me?"

"Even if your father is Li Gang, it's not so unreal. You think this is a movie," the fat man said, "I think you are either poisoned or on drugs."

Zhang Qiling looked at Liang Wan and shook his head: "Your tattoo didn't come from your mother, she only gave you the blood of the Wang family."

Blood, all her mother gave her was blood.Liang Wan thought calmly.It was the first time she heard someone define the role of a "mother" in this way, but she couldn't fault it.In fact, there was nothing but blood between her and her mother.She never even met her own mother.

"You are the Wang family, and the Wang family are shepherds." The fat man was a little dizzy, "Now you have been summoned, what's going on?"

What would alarm the shepherds?

When wolves break into sheep.

"This is the ultimate." Zhang Qiling said firmly.

The fat man originally wanted to fool Zhang Qiling out, but now he kneels down to this leap of logical thinking, and can only sigh secretly that the little brother is the little brother, and he has already slipped through nine twists and eighteen turns twice. .

Li Cuo had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly thought of what the creature in front of him was: white stripes, white hairs, and a weasel-like appearance, it was definitely a mongoose.He has only seen this kind of creature in the animal world. It is said that treating snakes is like killing a father and an enemy. If you don't eat snake meat for a few days, you will be depressed. It has long been awarded the "China Good Animal Brand" red scarf.

So there is no harm in seeing more of the animal world when I was young.Li Cu looked around, estimated the number of dead snakes on the ground, and thought that this was a fucking massacre, and when he looked at the mongoose with fried fur, he couldn't help but think of Wu Xie.But the mongoose obviously couldn't take him as an acquaintance, and I don't know if it was because he had just been in close contact with the snake corpse. Li Cu always felt that the mongoose regarded him and the Tibetans as snake spirits and was ready to pounce on him at any time.

"What should we do now?" Li Cuo squinted at the Tibetan, "Visit the zoo?"

The Tibetan pointed to a place behind the mongoose: "The door."

Li Cu squinted his eyes for a long while before he could barely see the outline of a door in the darkness.Before he could take a closer look, the mongoose, who was ready to go, suddenly stood up, with his hind paws on the ground, his front body leaned forward, and he rushed towards him like a rocket. He didn't know where the strength came from for his small body, and a shock wave almost hit him. Push him down the well.Li Cu supported the mouth of the well and stood firm. Just as he regained consciousness, the mongoose was standing three or four meters away from him again. It stood upright about [-] to [-] centimeters high, especially human-shaped, with a pair of green eyes and ghosts. It seems that it does not turn around.

Animal World has played so many episodes, but none of the episodes told him why the eyes of the mongoose glow green when they look at people.Li Cu was dragged to the ground inexplicably, without any equipment except a flashlight, and when the mongoose attacked, he had no choice but to move towards the Tibetans.The Tibetan looked stunned, unable to do anything, but as soon as Li Cu approached, he knew that this person was definitely the type to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger. If a mongoose dared to pounce on him, he would definitely die.

Li Cuo and the Tibetans stood back to back in an offensive and defensive posture. The mongoose that attacked earlier did not move, but green lights from all directions gathered like fireflies, and after a while, Li Cuo and the Tibetans were surrounded by a bonfire party. middle.To be honest, with the size and shape of the mongoose, it does not have much deterrent effect on humans. What really makes people creepy is those green eyes that are erratic, which is not right no matter how you look at it.

"It can't be killed," the Tibetan rarely took the initiative to say, "If you can't kill it, you will die."

Although the Tibetan accent is very stiff, at least the meaning is clear: these mongooses cannot be killed, because they are all dead.Li Cu was stunned for a moment, suppressing his beating heart, and finally found a gap in the encirclement of green light.The Tibetan obviously also focused his attention on that place. He grabbed Li Cuo's arm suddenly, stepped forward with his left foot, and rushed straight there like lightning.

Rather than saying that the Tibetans are running, it is better to say that they are flying. Li Cuo feels like a big flag, being dragged by the flagpole and fluttering in the wind, and the flagpole itself looks like a martial arts master who does not touch the ground. If Su Wan is present , will definitely shout "There should be a camera and a steel wire here".

After all, the meerkats have an advantage in size, and their numbers are also extraordinary. It is definitely not difficult to encircle two humans, especially if there is an oil bottle among them. Seeing that the Tibetans and Li Cu are about to reach the gap in the encirclement, a dozen or so meerkats rushed towards them Pounced, even though the Tibetan was very skilled, he was a little embarrassed when he dodged, and his speed slowed down. Li Cuo's neck was burned with burning pain, and his hands turned red when he touched it.

These small things can feed on poisonous snakes, so they must have their own strength. Li Cu has seen the video of mongoose fighting snakes, and the rhythm is so fast that he can't see clearly at all.Assuming that the fight between a meerkat and a snake is a one-on-one fight in Huashan, then if all the hundreds of meerkats here attack them, it would be too cruel.

Thinking of his own body being torn apart by so many teeth, Li Cu couldn't help feeling angry and bloody, and decided to go all out. He aimed at a mongoose that was showing its fangs at him, and he slapped him with his hand. Unfortunately, he missed and had to make persistent efforts.The Tibetan walked forward while dodging, probably annoyed, so he said "don't move" to Li Cuo, and drew out a bright Tibetan knife.Li Cu only saw the knife light up a few times, followed by a stench that went straight to his nose. When he looked down, there were already several disembodied mongooses lying at his feet. It is also green and oily, thick as pus, and it makes people feel sick.

This action was equivalent to a formal declaration of war, and the mongoose didn't care whether they were reincarnated snake spirits or not, they surrounded them like flies, and the strong body odor almost made Li Cuxun faint.He suddenly remembered that mongooses have stinky fart gland holes, and his face immediately turned ugly. He thought that it would be better to be bitten to death by a snake than to be killed by a mongoose, but his eyes were blurred, so he could only hold it. Nose kicking and slapping.Facing the eyes full of fur and paws, the Tibetans didn't panic at all. The Tibetan knives rose and fell, killing corpses all over the place like cutting tofu, without frowning.

It was originally thought that the group of mongooses would be released only after their necks were cut open. However, although the number of seriously injured mongooses on the ground was far from the total number, as Li Cuo and the Tibetans continued to move forward, there were fewer and fewer small things that harassed them. By the time they stood in front of a door deep in the cave, not a single mongoose hair was around them.

The behavior of these mongooses is too weird, as if a fixed attack circle has been set up.Li Cu felt that he was playing a dungeon in an online game, entering the circle to open the boss, and leaving the circle to pull away.

"Look ahead," the Tibetan didn't look back the whole time, "pull open the door and go in."

The door in front of him was very similar to the one at the bottom of the water, and Li Cu felt disgusted when he saw it, thinking that the Wang family was too busy to open a zoo in the ultimate place.He tried to push the door, but as soon as he touched it, his finger seemed to be bitten by something.

With ten fingers connected to the heart, Li Cu immediately retracted reflexively, and at first glance, there was already a wound on his finger.

"Are you kidding me, this door still bites?" Li Cuo asked in disbelief.He took a closer look with the flashlight, only to find that there were many sharp thorns on the door, one of which was stained with his blood.The thorns are short, but absolutely sharp, just like the behavior of the Wang family, which is low-key, but must have high lethality.

"Blood, smear it on." The Tibetan said.

Li Cu tried to press the injured finger into the gap between the thorns, and then felt that the door sucked a lot of his blood like a sanitary napkin. After a while, billowing blue smoke began to emerge from the crack of the door. At the same time, there was a strange sound of music. After listening to it for a while, Li Cuo thought it was the sound of a horn, and then shook his head again and again. How could there be such an ethereal and weird horn in the world?

Li Cu thought for a while, but still wasn't sure what it was.He doesn't have much musical ability, and occasionally read some books introducing musical instruments, it's because of his name: "Li Cuo" is a kind of musical instrument of the Li nationality. It was so ridiculous that even he himself couldn't help but laugh a few times when he thought about it.

Hearing him laughing, the Tibetan glanced at him inexplicably, Li Cu immediately realized that he was laughing like an idiot, and patted his face to recover his facial paralysis.

I don't know the effect of the low-pitched grunt at this time.Li Cu couldn't help imagining that the tone was actually very close to the sound of the music, and he was shocked.At this moment, the door creaked a crack, and a group of people and horses appeared faintly in the thick blue smoke.The alarm flashed wildly in Li Cu's mind, and then the flashlight suddenly went dark, and the world between the two was pitch black.

***

Only when you truly stand in a certain person's position can you understand his original difficulties.

The fat man touched his chin in embarrassment, thinking it was really difficult to hide anything, especially when the other party was Zhang Qiling.He recalled that Zhang Qiling had a sullen face and would not tell the truth when he was beaten to death, and the feeling of admiration spontaneously arose.

"I don't know how I got down." Liang Wan was dizzy from the tattoo, and soon lost his composure when he saw the stalemate between Fatty and Zhang Qiling, "There are only you two men here. Gotta take me out."

As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Zhang Qiling, but found that the latter didn't notice her meaning at all, so she could only mutter and look away.

Liang Wan had recognized Zhang Qiling the first time she saw him before, but she never thought that she would be able to meet this man again after being dragged underground so carelessly.At this time, Zhang Qiling no longer had the weakness of being on the hospital bed, and the word "Sharp Blade" was written all over his body, and even the way he lowered his head in thought seemed to be preparing before being unsheathed.

In fact, Liang Wan had never known Zhang Qiling before, but he was attracted to him for no reason after that meeting a few years ago—Zhang Qiling did have a certain attractive quality, whether the other party was a man or a woman, he was like a mysterious source, It can easily arouse everyone's instinctive curiosity.

Someone must have loved him, and someone must have hated him.Liang Wan sighed.This kind of person cannot be seen. He unconsciously makes people attracted and fascinated, but until the love of those people turns into hate, he will not realize that he has to give them a little attention and stop.After thinking about it, Liang Wan slowly turned his attention away.Unrealistic things can easily drive people crazy, and she thinks she is a smart woman and doesn't want to let herself have too many ideas.

The fat man spread his hands to show that he had nothing to do, but Zhang Qiling suddenly asked, "Where did you come from?"

"I'm not sure," Liang Wan shook his head, and answered honestly, "When I woke up, it was very dark, and my phone had two bars left, but I couldn't receive a signal at all. I don't dare waste too much power, Been walking around in the dark for almost an hour before I saw you here."

"Are there signs on the road?"

Liang Wan was taken aback for a moment, and then he understood what he meant: "I was in a forest, and I marked every 10 minutes or every corner. But then the entire forest disappeared, and I'm not sure the marks are still there. No. Are we going back the way we came?"

"The only thing that disappears is the tree. Try it. The place where you come down is probably the 'gate'."

Liang Wan's marks were still there, and they were very clear, pointing arrows. Even Fatty was a little surprised: Although this woman is not as powerful as a professional Tu Fuzi, she is not bad in mind.

With the flashlight, Liang Wan could clearly see the scene along the way: due to the disappearance of the bronze tree, this area looked extremely barren, bare, with only white sand and stones besides her marks along the way.This scene is very familiar to her and the trio of teenagers, it is like transplanting the sand sea on the surface to the dark underground, but the people trapped in it are still not changed much.

Liang Wan suddenly felt startled, it was like a hint that no matter how hard they struggled, as long as they entered this sand field, they would never find a way out.

"Here we are." Three people moving together, especially when there is a light source, it is much easier to go back the same way than Liang Wan alone, and naturally it does not take as long as an hour.Liang Wan found the last mark.This mark is different from the directional arrow on her way, it is a triangular bag, especially used to mark the starting point.

The fat man took the flashlight and looked around, and there was a flashing eye-catching reflection in a certain direction. When he looked closely, it turned out to be a body of water.The water area is very close to the mark of Liangwan. If she had chosen the opposite direction, she might have turned into a corpse in the lake by now.

"Tsk tsk, you're lucky," the fat man was speechless, "It's so fucking bad that you can't fall into the water even in the dark."

Without saying a word, Zhang Qiling quickly walked over and knelt down by the water.Looking at Zhang Qiling's appearance, the fat man also guessed that the river might have some secrets, so he hurriedly followed and asked, "Brother, is there something wrong with this lake?"

"No," Zhang Qiling shook his head, "Did you hear the sound of water? This is not a lake."

Reminded by Zhang Qiling, Liang Wan also thought of a problem: Judging from the flashing reflection just now, this lake is obviously flowing, and the water without flowing water can make no sound.If the lake is really that close to her, then in an extremely dark environment with amplified hearing, it is impossible for her to be completely deaf to the sound of the water.

Even if the sound of the water was too weak for Liang Wan to hear, it was impossible that Zhang Qiling couldn't hear it either.Fatty's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly recalled that all the water he encountered along the way seemed abnormal: from the fast-moving lake at the beginning, to the ultimate lake, and now to this water area without the sound of water, Anyone can go to "Approach Science".

Is this the Wang family's style?Use water as a medium between spaces?Li Cu was brought out of the Wang family by Xie Yuchen through the waterway. If the Wang family is really so handy with water, it is impossible for them to be unaware of precautions.He thought for a while, and stretched out his hand to probe into the "lake", but Zhang Qiling stopped him like lightning.

"Don't move, there's something inside."

The fat man's first reaction was the black-haired snake, his muscles tightened, and then he realized that what Zhang Qiling was talking about was not the water, but the water surface.The river is like a mirror. When the flashlight shines on it, it clearly reflects the scene on the shore.The fat man stared at it for a while, always feeling a little weird, but couldn't say anything for a while.

"What, why..." Liang Wan called out first, "I'm not here!"

Fatty was wondering why she wanted to stay in the river when she had nothing to do, but then realized that what Liang Wan was talking about must also be the surface of the water. He stared at the surface of the water for another half a second, and there was a "buzz" in his head, and a white patch appeared behind him. sweaty.

Neither a river nor a mirror, but like a glass showcase.When they looked at the water, the scene on the shore was not where they were, but somewhere else, very similar to theirs.Coincidentally and unfortunately, Wu Xie was lying on the bank of that place with his back to the sky, his life and death unknown.
