Chapter 242 Third Uncle’s Lie
242 Chapter 242 Third Uncle’s Lie
As Wu Xie walked away, he asked, "What are your plans? Aren't you going to meet my third uncle?"

Wen Jin said: "We have no time. Don't you feel that the sound of water around you has become less and less?"

Wu Xie said: "I didn't pay attention to this. Who has the energy to pay attention to this in a place like this."

I said to him: "No, you must pay attention. Here, water flow is as important as life. Otherwise, there is no need to wait for this heavy rain that occurs once in several years to pass before coming in here."

Wen Jin said: "Yes, the underground waterways here are extremely complicated. 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 flow of water, you will definitely You can find a water inlet on the ground. And if you follow the water, you can definitely find the end of this underground waterway, the largest underground water storage lake.

But once the water is gone, you can never get out.Now that the rain has stopped, the water level in the swamp will gradually decrease. In a day or two, the water will completely dry up, and we will be trapped here.This is why I asked Dingzhu Zhuolma to tell you that if I can't wait for you within ten days, I will go in myself.

But you are lucky this time. The rainfall this year was particularly heavy and the entire swamp was submerged. Otherwise, it would be too late now.

Regarding your third uncle, Wu Sansheng has the same destination as us. As long as nothing happens to him, we will definitely meet him. "

When Wu Xie heard that everything she said made sense, he immediately nodded and asked her, "Are we going up or down now?"

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

After hearing Wen Jin say that the biggest secret is close at hand, doesn't that mean that the destination of this station is close at hand...

We've arrived at our destination again... I suddenly felt a thump in my heart. Rather than a thump, it was more like my heart suddenly hurt as if something had hit me. My head was buzzing, and I froze in an instant. My little hands were cold. , I clutched my brother's arm tightly, and then I started to shiver. I felt my chest was congested, and I couldn't help but feel the urge to cry. I guess I had a phobia...

The little brother knew at a glance that I was starting to worry again, but now that I was traveling and the road was not too wide, he had no choice but to hold my arm first and let me get closer to him.

After being stunned for a moment, Wen Jin continued: "It's almost dawn now. Most of those snakes will move on the ground at night. They will all come down after dawn. Then it will be more troublesome for us to walk. Therefore, before dawn, we have to find Hide in a place, and then if you have anything to ask, I will tell you. For now, just focus on walking."

Wen Jin is Wen Jin. Whatever she says sounds right, her tone is soft and natural, her eyes are gentle but firm. I think Wu Xie listens seriously.

Wu Xie felt that Wen Jin seemed to be born with the temperament of a leader.He finally understood why she was the leader of Xisha back then and even his third uncle was taboo about it. She had already made it very clear, so he stopped bothering her.

After that, we quickened our pace and went all the way down the tunnel, and soon we reached another tunnel. We were protected by mud, and there were no forks along the way, so we walked smoothly.

We walked like this until six or seven o'clock in the morning. At this time, the shaft next to us was a natural cave with no signs of artificial digging. There was not even mud in it. It was the kind of place where almost no one came.

The sound of splashing water can be heard in the rocks, and the water in the well is collecting all around. We should be very close to the end of the entire West Queen Mother City's water storage system.

Wen Jin said: "Judging by the time, the morning light should have receded. Although there is no sound of any snakes nearby, the number of snakes is staggering. Once they return to their nests, they are likely to appear anywhere. We'd better hide first." Then he looked at me and my little brother and said to us: "It's your turn to contribute this time."

I looked at her and said, "I know, my clothes are muddy, right?"

Wen Jin smiled and said, "That's right."

The little brother said, "Come here, girl." Then he took off his clothes, and I handed him my little coat and water bottle.

The little brother first re-soaked the mud on the clothes with water. Wen Jin and Wu Xie collected some gravel and piled it up at both ends of the passage. The little brother tore the clothes directly into pieces, and then he and I stuffed the broken clothes together. into the crevices of the rocks.

After a while we made a barrier, Wen Jin said: "Okay, from the snake's point of view, the passage here is closed, and we can take a rest."

Wu Xie took a few sips of water, looked at the barrier and said, "Why do I feel like this barrier is a little too weak? If it encounters a giant snake like that, won't it just fart and collapse?"

I said to him: "Brother Wu Xie, can't you just hope for something... We have limited clothing, and no one is rich now."

Wen Jin lit another small bonfire and said to us: "Come and sit closer to keep warm."

It's very humid and cold here. My little brother was afraid that I would be cold, so he hugged me directly. One was to make me feel safer, and the other was to keep me warm.

Everyone took a moment and gradually relaxed. Wen Jin distributed delicious food to us and handed it to us. When she handed it to Wu Xie, she knew from his expression that he couldn't help but want to ask questions, so she He said to him: "Ask whatever you want."

Wu Xie immediately cheered up, but he was stuck for a long time, unable to ask the question.

It seemed that he had a lot of things he wanted to ask. I looked anxiously while eating.

Wen Jin looked at him with a smile and said to him: "It doesn't matter. You can ask them one by one. I have already expected such a situation."

Wu Xie sorted out the questions in his mind, but he found that no matter where he started to ask, no matter what he asked, it might lead to confusion, so Wu Xie said: "How about we ask them according to the time?"

Wen Jin nodded and said, "No problem."

Wu Xie asked her, "Can you tell me what's going on in Xisha?"

Wen Jin looked at him with a surprised expression: "Your question is too big. Many things happened in Xisha. Which one are you referring to?"

Wu Xie said to Wen Jin: "Then tell me what happened after you disappeared from the ancient tomb?"

Wen Jin was quiet for a moment, as if thinking about what to say, then suddenly sighed and said: "You actually want to know about this matter... It seems that you already know a lot about this matter. It is difficult to explain clearly. What did your third uncle tell you?"

So Wu Xie roughly told Wen Jin what his third uncle had told him in the hospital before, and then said to her: "He said he didn't enter the institution with you, so he doesn't know what happened next. You guys are in ancient times." After missing from the tomb, he has been looking for you, but after searching for so many years, he has found nothing. He also said that 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 that you must understand, but this premise, I will say this Come out, you won’t believe it. I don’t know if you are ready to know the truth now.”

Wu Xie said: "You die early and you are born early. Even if you tell me that my third uncle is actually a woman and that I was born to him, I can believe it. Just tell me. After these two years, I can believe everything."

I held the little brother, who lowered his head, and I said to him in a very low voice: "Wu Xie's description is much more shocking than the truth. I think he does have some awareness." The little brother held me in his arms. little face, and gently pressed my nose with his thumb.

At this time, Wen Jin was still a little worried. After thinking about it, he asked him again: "Do you have any judgment about this matter?"

Wu Xie shook his head and said, "I don't have any judgment." Wen Jin looked at the younger brother, feeling that she was asking "should I tell him" again, but the younger brother obviously had no reaction.She had no choice but to calm down, reached out to brush her hair, and sighed slightly. Then I felt like she had made some decision, and then I saw her take out a new notebook from her backpack. It looked like a I just bought that one recently.

She opened her notebook and took out a yellowed old photo. It was the photo taken by the archaeological team before they went to sea that we are all familiar with.

Wu Xie could even recite the location of everyone inside. He only glanced at it and handed it back and said, "I have already seen this photo."

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

Wu Xie felt that what Wen Jin was going to say might be about the possible No. 11 person he mentioned when he was drinking with those friends before. It might be true...

Wen Jin was very serious at this moment. She gave the photo to Wu Xie again and asked him to point out to her the names and positions of the people who could be read on the photo.

Wu Xie looked at them and said, "I only know a few people who are relatively related to this matter. I know the names of the others, but I don't know which ones they are."

Wen Jin said: "It doesn't matter, you can just recite it."

Wu Xie pointed to Wen Jin starting from the one that attracted his attention most: "This is my little brother." Wen Jin nodded, then pointed to a girl on the side and said: "This is you." Wen Jin nodded again and followed. He pointed at someone and said, "Then, this is the third uncle." Wu Xie looked at Wen Jin and waited for her to nod before continuing, but this time Wen Jin didn't move and looked straight. Looking at him.

Wu Xie was stunned for a moment. Wen Jin took the photo and asked him: "Why do you think this person is your third uncle?"

Wu Xie said: "This...this is what Third Uncle looked like when he was young. I have seen black and white photos of him before, and they are very similar to this."

Wen Jin smiled and said: "In this world, photos are not the only things that are similar. Two people who are related by blood may also be similar."

I thought to myself, it was exactly what I thought. One of the problems in the photo was that the person looked very similar to the third uncle. The third uncle reconciled the serial issue.

Wu Xie said "Huh?" and was stunned for a moment. He quickly understood what he meant and said, "Wait, what do you mean? Do you want to tell me that this person is not my third uncle? Then who is he?" After saying that, Wu Xie suddenly felt cold. He was thinking about the blood relationship!Similar appearance!Suddenly it dawned on me that I almost shouted in excitement: "Impossible, impossible!"

He scared me so much that the little brother put one arm around me and immediately stretched out his other hand to hold him down.

Wu Xie was already excited and said, "Oh my God, my God, is this person Xie Lianlian?"

This time Wen Jin nodded, and Wu Xie's expression suddenly changed, showing an extremely frightened expression.

Wen Jin said to him: "The resolution of the photo is not high, so it is normal to see it wrong, especially when your third uncle said that, everyone would think so."

Wu Xie asked: "What about my third uncle?"

Wen Jin said: "Your third uncle was indeed with us at that time, but he was not in this photo, but outside the photo." She set up the photo and pointed to the front of it.

I thought to myself, it is indeed the person who took the photo.

Wu Xie looked at Wen Jin's gesture and suddenly understood. He suddenly felt like vomiting blood, and the blood rushed to his throat.

I thought his head was going to explode, and I heard him muttering: "This...this...shit, what's going on? That's where the camera is..."

This is similar to what I guessed before. There is a problem with the number of people in the archaeological team, and the main problem is his third uncle's reconciliation with Lian Lian.

Wu Xie asked: "But it's wrong, it doesn't make sense. Why would you let your third uncle take the photo for such a departure? You can let other less important people take the photo. For example, Xie Lianlian sneaked in, but he stood on the In such an important position, and Uncle San can only take photos?"

Wen Jin let out a long breath: "You still have understanding. You should feel the problem here. In the version your third uncle told you, there are some things that have fundamental problems, and they were in the initial version. "At that time." She paused and continued: "Let me tell you, in fact, at that time, it was not Jie Lianhuan who asked me to join the archaeological team, but your third uncle Wu Sansheng."

Wu Xie said "Huh?", obviously unable to react.

Wen Jin gave him a detailed analysis, "If you think about it carefully, the things your third uncle told you, although they were very smooth, there were all small flaws in the logic.

As a smuggler with such rich experience, how could Jude Kao choose a Jie Lianhuan with no experience in the field to carry out his plan?He was in Changsha at the time, and the best person he could find through his connections, who was also the most interested in overseas smuggling, should be your third uncle. Only your third uncle would have such courage and such an old fox with such a dark background. cooperate.

Therefore, the person Jude Kao cooperated with at that time was not Jie Lianhuan, but your third uncle. Another advantage of Jude Kao choosing Wu Sansheng was that he and I were boyfriend and girlfriend at the time, so it was very convenient for him to join the archaeological team. So, this is the most logical. "

As I listened, I turned around and hugged my brother. I had already guessed what they were saying now. I always felt that Wen Jin did not tell everything about this matter. Brother I also know, and they seem to just want to explain that the third uncle now is not his biological third uncle. I am afraid that I will not be able to help but interrupt, so it is better to face the little brother's side for safety, and stick it directly to the little brother's chest.

Wu Xie nodded after listening to Wen Jin's words and said: "My third uncle also mentioned this. I thought he was complaining to me at the time, but it turned out that he was playing tricks with me on this."

Wen Jin continued: "Xie Huanhuan was indeed working in my archaeological team at that time. He was a student at the University of Archeology at the time. Because of family connections, his father arranged for him to attend my school.

This man is not as useless as your third uncle said. Although he has some young temperament, he is extremely talented in decoding the chain. The word "Luan" was changed to his name by his father when he was three years old, because he was then You can now rely on your own abilities to solve the "Nine Links".

This man is silent and introverted, but he is very thoughtful and has very good grades. He entered university entirely of his own will. Wen Jin paused and said, "You understand, your third uncle told you the opposite of everything." "

Wu Xie was trying to digest this information. He was sorting it out in his mind. He asked: "But why did he say the opposite? There is no reason. I have known that he is such a person. Is it because he wants to stay with me?" He deliberately told such a big lie because of his inner status, which is not in line with his character."

Wen Jin said: "Why do you do this? Haven't you understood yet? He told everything backwards, but what happened before Xisha set off was not everything. What he really wanted to hide was what happened afterward."

Wu Xie carefully recalled the whole process that his third uncle said. Wen Jin said that everything was the other way around. Then it was not Jie Lianhuan who went into the water and was discovered by the third uncle, but the third uncle who went into the water secretly and was discovered by Xie Lianhua.

Xie Lianhuan might have threatened the third uncle to take him into the ancient tomb, otherwise he would tell Wen Jin everything. Then the third uncle would take him into the ancient tomb, and then Xie Lianlian should trigger the mechanism in the ancient tomb.

At the last moment, the third uncle told me the version that he left the solution chain in the ancient tomb and then escaped. Then, the most unimaginable situation occurred.

If it were the complete opposite, and if all this continues to be reasonable, then the person who came out of the ancient tomb should be Jie Lianlian, and the third uncle was knocked unconscious and stayed in the ancient tomb.Then, it was Uncle San himself who died at the bottom of the sea!
Then who is my third uncle now?Wu Xie suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an abyss of ice, and the blood all over his body froze.
