Chapter 21 Rendezvous

"I didn't expect to meet so soon." I saw the fire in front of me from a long distance away, and the only sound left in the empty space was crackling firewood.

"If we slow down, we'll starve to death." Wen Di was always responsible for making complaints.As she said, at night, the last can is gone.The gate is scheduled to open tomorrow afternoon, and it is already very good to find someone.

"Be careful. If Jing Yan can hypnotize us once, she can hypnotize us a second time." Han Lin reminded us, we nodded cautiously, and hurried to Jing Yan and the others who were resting in place.

Three figures could be seen beside the fire, which made sense, after all Wen Yu had already stayed in that secret room.

The bright flashlight shone directly on my face, and I was forced to squint my eyes and stretch out my hand to block the glare.

"It's a friendly army, can you put down the torch first?" I yelled at them.

"You really came after me!" The loud voice was so familiar!

The flashlight was finally turned off, and I could see their situation too.

"Hey, Sister Wen Yu? Are you okay...I thought..." Wendi and we were both startled when we saw the front face.

Wen Yu was actually sitting there alive. Although there were bandage marks on his calf, he was still there.Wen Di wept with joy, and threw herself into her arms, snot and tears. "Great! Great...I thought I'd never see you again..."

Wen Yu saw that we were all looking at her with sad faces, as if we were looking at a posthumous photo, and was stunned, "What's going on with you two?"

The three of them don't need us to be any better, Wen Yu's left leg was injured, Maozi also had a few bloodstains on his body, Jing Yan was fine, but her clothes were a little torn.

"But we clearly saw your dead body at that time..." I explained tremblingly, Jing Yan who was on guard didn't understand what happened?

"What are you talking about! I'm living a good life." Boss Wen Yu was reluctant to mention this word.

"But there is your mobile phone there, and her clothes are very similar to yours, we thought" before saying a few words, Wendi started to cry, why is this girl so clingy to her?

"Did you find my phone?" Wen Yu's tone was a little excited.

"It's in my pocket." Wen Di returned the things to the original owner, and then lay in Wen Yu's arms and acted like a baby.

Wen Yu wanted to check the phone, but because of the mood of the little girl in his arms, he had to put it back in his pocket.

"What's going on with your leg? Also, another man!"

Wen Yu hesitated for a moment before answering, "Squad, he... We ran into a mechanism on the way, and he was caught in it. As for my leg, it was just scratched by a kitten."

"Kitten?" Wen Yu joked and didn't pay attention to the occasion, where did the cat come from here?

"Miss Tong, you've asked enough questions, can you give me some time first?" Jing Yan, who was not strict, spoke up. She should be younger than Wendi. She has just graduated from university, and Wendi has already graduated from graduate school. .

"Okay! I happen to have a lot of things to ask you." I said seriously, "If you don't mind, let's sit down!"

Jing Yan made a gesture of invitation, and Wen Yu and the man named Mao Zi took the initiative to make room for us.

"How did you find this place?" Jing Yan signaled Maozi to give us some food, and I'm happy to accept it now.

Two big men, Han Lin and Mao Zi, sat together and handed us compressed food from both sides. Xiao Mo, Wen Di and Mo Han accepted it one after another.

After opening it, I ate it directly. I had no appetite, so I put my portion by my feet and planned to eat it later.

Wen Di was still humming next to Wen Yu, Wen Yu had no choice but to wipe her tears with his sleeve, saw that she was choking, and handed her his water bottle, taking care of her meticulously.

"I thought you would ask me how to undo your hypnotic suggestion?" I said provocatively.

"Hint?" Jing Yan showed doubts again, "I just want you to keep calm. Here, the probability of suicide is much higher than starvation, not to mention that you haven't received professional training."

"Oh? If that's the case, then you've really been a great help! We also encountered a lot of things along the way."

"So, how did you get here? If you walk along our road, with the five of you, it's not that I look down on you, it's impossible to get here alive."

Hey!I don't like this sentence, you withdraw it.

"Of course there are noble people to help." I don't know whether he is a noble person, I have never seen his face, and I don't even know his gender.

"Your Majesty?"

"Well, he left us a map when we were asleep." I shrugged. Now that the person has been found, I don't want to play tricks, so I told the truth.

"Where did you meet him?" Jing Yan's rare mood swings.

"In our original corridor, there was a secret room in one of the rooms, and there was a monster's body there. Because I was holding Wen Yu's cell phone, I thought it was her who died." I sighed, even though I only met a few times , I, like Wendi, did not want her to die for no reason, "Someone went out during the inspection when we went in. The footprints were the same hiking boots as mine. I thought it was yours."

"Can I have a look at the map?"

It seemed that she had given up asking about the whereabouts of that person, and I handed her the blood-stained A4 paper.

After receiving it, Jing Yan frowned slightly, normal people wouldn't expect the map to look like this.

"I didn't expect my hypnotic effect to be so good. Did you show no signs of disgust when you saw this picture?" Jing Yan asked me, was she observing my mental state?

I encountered a lot of things along the way, the corpses in the room and the monster were the bloodiest. Compared with those, this blood map is already a small case.

"You're asking this because you don't know what we've been through. You'd better hurry up and see how this picture is different from yours." I didn't tell her about Luoshu and Yuanbing. For those who are suspicious, it is better to be more cautious.

"You know I have a map?"

"Aren't you a gravekeeper? Isn't it normal to have a map?"

Jing Yan stopped asking, and concentrated on comparing the differences on the map. I sat next to me and took a nap. The abnormality of my body was already obvious, and half of my body was already paralyzed. A little control would take a lot of effort.

"Tongtong, why don't you eat?" Xiao Mo, who had finished his share, saw that I was just in a daze when I was free, so he couldn't help reminding me a few words.

"I'm a little tired, let me rest for a while," I raised the corner of my mouth weakly, "How about you feed me?"

"Cut~" This sentence came from Wendi at the same time.

Han Lin and Mao Zi took my face into consideration and hid aside to watch the scenery. Mo Han continued to drink water with a look of indifference. As for Jing Yan, she also coughed a few times symbolically.

"It's just a joke, is it necessary to take it seriously?" I curled my lips and picked up the compressed biscuit with my left hand. The packaging was very tight, and my left hand is not my dominant hand. It took a lot of time to open the package.

Seeing that Xiao Mo didn't intend to get to the bottom of it, I spoke to Jing Yan again, "What is the purpose of your coming here? Can you tell me now?"

Hearing this, Jing Yan put down the map in her hand and sat upright, "I'm here to find someone, my father and grandpa. They are also the grave guards here, but they disappeared half a year ago. I searched many places, It was finally established that they ended up here."

"So you invited us here just to find your family? Do you not hesitate to bury the ancestral mission in your own hands?" Wen Yu attached great importance to the word ancestry, which has reached the level of superstition, "Let us accompany you through life and death For two people who might have died?"

"Everyone gets what they need, right?" Jing Yan didn't think there was anything wrong with her, "What era is it now, I won't inherit the tomb keeper, I just want to live with my family."

"..." How should I refute?Everyone has their own values.

"Doesn't your wound hurt?" I tried to change the subject, the wound on Wen Yu's leg was definitely not small judging from the extent of the dressing.

Wen Yu glanced at her right leg, "I forgot if you didn't tell me, you said you almost saw the bones at the time, but now I don't feel anything."

I turned my gaze back to Jing Yan, and she understood, "I added hints to her, which reduced the pain, but it still takes a normal time for the wound to heal, and you can't see the water during the period."

"Aren't you people who study psychology against the sky? You can give hints casually!" Wen Yu was furious. If it were me, I would have the same reaction. After all, there is a danger of being controlled by others every day.

"There are many kinds of hints in my heart. The stronger the consequences, the longer it will take to strengthen the hints. The key is that both parties must be voluntary, which is not mandatory." Jing Yan explained solemnly, "At that time you also accepted the hope. A hint of relief, so that we won't delay our journey."

"Yes, you are right." Wen Yu had given up thinking and did not want to continue the conversation.

"Can you hypnotize yourself?" Xiaomo participated in the forum of us non-professionals.

"It is possible in theory, but according to what our professor said, a wise hypnotist will only put himself in a semi-hypnotic state to regulate his emotions." Jing Yan did not hesitate to own her knowledge.

"So you've been in a semi-hypnotic state all this way to prevent yourself from shrinking?"

Jing Yan fell into silence.

Girl, you are working hard!

"Unfortunately, it took me so long to get here, and you have caught up with me." She returned the A4 paper to me with her sheepskin map attached, which was regarded as mutual respect, "The tomb can be divided into five parts. We have just At two-fifths, the road ahead is blocked by the "moat", and we dare not rush into the water."

No wonder I heard the sound of running water, not like the sound of water flowing in the sewer.
