In order to avoid being confused by my second uncle again, I decided to go straight to the point, and directly ask the answer I want to know the most. After hearing my question, the second uncle was slightly stunned, and it seemed that he was not particularly surprised. Obviously, he seemed to be mentally prepared for my question, but the more he did, the less at ease I felt.

The second uncle frowned and looked at me, "I said, you boy, when you see the second uncle, don't ask me about my situation first, ask me if I have eaten or water, whether I have worked hard these days. I'm pretty good to you on weekdays, do you have some conscience?"

"Hey! You!" I was robbed by my second uncle and was choked. I thought he would be silent, lie, or "play Tai Chi", but I didn't expect that he would first have a family card when he came up!

Shi Tao saw the scene a little awkward, so he hurriedly got up to smooth things over, "Zhuoran, don't be too anxious, it's not too late to rest first and then chat." As he said that, he brought some food for his second uncle.

Kong Xue also stood up, "Yes, yes. Uncle Second is a master, and I have to rely on you this time!" Then he secretly winked at me and handed him a glass of water.

The second uncle nodded with a smile, "It's still the thoughtful brother Shi Tao and Xiaoxue think about it! It's not like you!"

I was angry when I heard this, "I said, "Second uncle, don't bury anyone, you say! Why did I run to this place where birds don't poop? You really think I'm here for sightseeing! If you didn't say a word and disappeared with me, I could have come here? I'm not afraid that something will happen to you, so I will come to save you!"

While eating, the second uncle said, "Okay, you boy's heart, the second uncle is grateful for your heart, but you came to save me, wasn't you saved by me in the end? You always say that you came here for me, and I'm still worried about something wrong with you in the past two days! This place is very strange..."

I suddenly heard something wrong with my second uncle's words, and hurriedly interrupted him and said, "Uncle II, after hearing what you said, have you known that we are back here long ago?"

The second uncle was stunned, "I said this?"

I sneered, "You just said that you were waiting for us here for two days. If you didn't know that we would come here, why would you wait for us here! Second Uncle, you must have something to hide from us!"

The second uncle laughed a few times, "You kid have watched too many TV series, so I'll hide everything from you, and what's there to hide from you!" He took a sip of water and continued, "Actually, after I woke up from the hospital and found that you were not here, I knew where you were. So I asked someone to inquire about this matter and learned that the Tang family had put Kong Xue. The Tang family was able to put Kong Xue, which must have achieved their purpose, and their purpose was very clear. Since they had got what they wanted, their next plan must be to go to the place recorded above, which is Gurban Tungute! So, this is probably what happened," the second uncle shrugged, "So I came, it's that simple!"

Simple? What's simple? Shi Tao and I looked at each other, and I asked, "Uncle II, I don't understand at all. This desert is so vast. How do you know you are coming here to wait for us?"

The second uncle smiled strangely, "Although Gurbantonggut is active in the face of the vast majority, there is no specific route at all. But this place is an exception. If you want to enter the deepest part of the desert, this place should be a must-pass road," said Uncle Er, looking at Dawuti next to him, "I'm right? This Uyghur brother?"

Dawuti's expression changed, he was stunned for a while before nodding and said, "If you enter the desert from Urumqi, it is indeed like this!"

Uncle Er turned his attention to me, "It is simple to verify this statement. The Tang family and you are in different directions and set out at different times. Didn't they meet here in the end?"

Hearing the second uncle's words, Kong Xue stood up suddenly, "The people from the Tang family are here too?"

I nodded, "Yes, it's just in the northwest direction of ours, where a few sand dunes are."

Kong Xue said angrily: "It's really a narrow road for enemies! I will definitely not let them go this time!"

The second uncle smiled and said, "Xiaoxue is right, but there are many people in them, so we can only take advantage of our wisdom and not force our attacks. Let's rest early and accumulate energy." As he said that, he pulled up a blanket and was about to lie down and sleep.

I rushed up and stopped him, "Second uncle, second uncle, don't be anxious, there are two more words, it's not too late to sleep after the chat!"

Uncle II looked at me in surprise, "You have any questions? Are you not clear enough?"

I thought to myself, you old fried dough stick, what do you know? You want to take advantage of the situation again, and you didn’t say a single key issue!

I suddenly remembered something, "Oh, Uncle Second, did you contact Wenmo?"

"Wen Mo?" Uncle Eryiyi sat up again, "No! I have never contacted him! Why, have you met him?"

Shi Tao said: "It's not just about meeting, we're just walking together!"

I said, "According to Wen Mo's words, you contacted him and asked him to meet us. Isn't that the case?"

"Of course not!" Uncle Er sat up straight, "I have never contacted this person! Where is someone else?"

I shook my head, "After we jumped into Haizi from the sand dunes, Wenmo lost his trace. We also found the ancient well at the bottom of Haizi, and came here through the waterway below the ancient well!"

The second uncle looked confused when he heard this, "Hey! Wait until later, what waterway and what ancient well?"

Then I remembered that my second uncle was not aware of the situation before, "You don't know the underwater passage?"

Uncle Er nodded firmly, "I really don't know." I saw that his expression didn't seem to be lying, so I told Uncle Er about what happened after we encountered the burnt corpse.

After hearing this, the second uncle nodded, "It seems that Wenmo is taking you with a shortcut. Maybe that dark river is the mysterious Tuya dark river."

I suddenly remembered a key question, "Uncle Second, how did you come in? Don't tell me that you came in alone!"

"Am I," Uncle Er smiled slightly smugly, "I came in behind the Tang family's team."

I asked, "You've been following them all the time?"

Uncle Er nodded, "Basically, yes, I just left a few times in the middle."

"You just said the shortcut?" Dawuti asked curiously. As a professional guide, he is always concerned about routes.

The second uncle nodded: "Yes, according to your description just now, I know that the itinerary between you and the Tang family should be about two days apart. After you came here through the waterway below the ancient well, the gap between you shortened the entire day's itinerary. They were just one day earlier than you were camping."

"But how could Wen Mo know such a hidden route?" I said curiously, "Has he been here before?"

Uncle Er seemed not listening to my questions, and murmured to himself, "Wen Mo is here? I still know this route, right?" Speaking of this, he suddenly looked up at me, and when he saw me looking at him, he smiled at me a little embarrassedly.

I looked at my second uncle seriously and asked, "Uncle II, can you tell me why you are here?"

The second uncle pondered for a while and didn't say anything. He just glanced at Dawuti with his eyes. I knew what he wanted to say and didn't want others to know. Fortunately, Dawuti was also very smart. He had been a guide for so many years and had seen this situation. He immediately saw the second uncle's intention, stood up and said, "I'll go outside to boil some water, you guys talk first!" After that, he walked out of the tent.

I said to my second uncle: "Okay, Second uncle, Kong Xue and Brother Tao are not outsiders. They also know about the past. If you have anything to say, just say it!"

Uncle Er nodded and looked at me, "Actually, what's happening here is just a continuation of the underwater tomb. We should have discovered and obtained more things in the underwater tomb, but that's not the case!"

I thought about the situation at that time, so I said, "Are you talking about the stone box in the eyes of Void in the end?"

Uncle Er shook his head, "It's not just that stone box, many things are different from what we expected!"

"Imagine?" I said, "and, are you referring to you and Yuan An? Or others?"

The second uncle said, "It was Yuan An and I. In fact, we had some secret contacts before we set out again. However, there was Tang Handong's undercover next to him, who was the man named Qi Feng, you probably know. The Tang family also had more surveillance behaviors about me. Although I later discovered that I was dumped, in order not to alert the enemy, we should be careful."

I was a little surprised at my second uncle's statement, "Did Yuan An say and his attitude at that time say to others?"

The second uncle didn't say anything, just nodded, "After that time, after we found blood sand in the stone box above the Eye of Void, we basically locked our next action here - the Gurbantonggut Desert!"

"Then Yuan An?" I actually hope that our power can be stronger and can fight against the Tang family, where personnel and equipment are superior, so I hope that the Yuan family's power is also nearby, which will be very beneficial to us.

But my second uncle's answer disappointed me a little, "Yuan An is not nearby, he has other things to do."

I couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that we still have to rely on ourselves!"

Uncle Er yawned a big yawn. I realized that our conversation today might be over, but I still had many questions in my mind that I didn’t understand. My mind was a little confused. For a moment, I didn’t know which one to ask first.
