After running some distance, He Linwan suddenly stopped her horse, and she got out of the carriage and crouched down to carefully examine the rut marks left on the ground.

This path located next to the official road outside the city is further on Bao'an Mountain. Bao'an Mountain is a tomb mountain, so in addition to the Qingming Festival before and after the carriage and horses, on weekdays through this road only the funeral procession, and the woodcutter who goes up the mountain to chop wood, there are not too many cars and horses to pass.

Although Cao's carriage has passed for a long time, only traces of her carriage have been left on this path, as well as the horseshoe prints of those who came to find her later, so it is very easy to identify.

He Linwan found that the rut marks were still a little messy before, but when he arrived here, he suddenly became tidy, as if someone had controlled the startled horse here.

But soon the traces were messy again, and I don't know if something had happened or if the person in control of the carriage had deliberately driven like this to disturb the view.

He Linwan groaned for a moment, without moving on the ground, turned over again and chased after him.

When chasing to the foot of Bao'an Mountain, He Linwan suddenly saw a man and a horse appear in front of him.

The horse was grazing on the side of the road, but the man was squatting on the ground and didn't know what he was looking at, and when he heard the sound of the horse's hooves, the man turned around and was a little surprised when he saw He Linwan, "Ah Wan, why are you here?"

He Linwan got off the horse and nodded, "Brother Yuan, I heard that the second aunt is missing, come and look for it." ”

Yuan gradually got up, patted the dust on his hands, and said to He Linwan: "Your housekeeper has already brought someone to chase after you, you better not go, I suspect that you can't find anyone if you catch up." ”

He Linwan asked in surprise, "Why did Brother Yuan say this?"

Yuan gradually frowned, and said with a serious face: "Because I have followed the traces on the ground before, it stands to reason that I should have chased the car here at my speed, but I chased forward for a long time and still didn't see the shadow of the carriage, I suspect that the car marks on the ground were left by someone to deliberately mislead, so I went back to see if I could find any clues." ”

He Linwan glanced at the place where Yuan was squatting before and asked, "What did Brother Yuan find?"

Yuan gradually scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "I didn't find anything, this person is too cautious." ”

He Linwan asked tentatively: "Brother Yuan, could it be that you think too much?" My second aunt doesn't go out of the door all day long, that is, she has been out of the house often for my fourth sister recently, she has never made enemies with anyone, so no one should deliberately kidnap her, right?"

Yuan gradually touched his chin and thought about it, nodded and said, "What you said also makes sense, but ...... I still trust my own judgment. ”

He Linwan didn't speak.

Yuan gradually turned his gaze to the Bao'an Mountain in front of him, which was not very high, but stretched far away, "Why don't you go up the mountain and look for it?"

He Linwan looked at Yuan Yan: "Go up the mountain?"

"I think your second aunt may have gone up the mountain. Yuan gradually nodded, and immediately added, "Don't ask me why, I don't know, I guess!"

Yuan gradually acted very decisively, and when he said that he was going up the mountain, he immediately tied the horse that was leisurely grazing to the tree on the side of the road, and said to He Linwan, "This grave mountain is not very auspicious, you don't go up with me as a girl, stay here and wait to join the He family, maybe when I come back, they will have already found your second aunt." ”

Yuan gradually tied up his horse, waved his hand at He Linwan, and ran towards the mountain.

He Linwan sighed and chased after him silently.

Yuan gradually glanced back, "Hey, don't come, I found your second aunt, and I will bring her down safely!"

He Linwan said: "I'll go with you, and I can help if I encounter anything." ”

Yuan gradually thought that this aunt was different from ordinary boudoir women, and he was afraid that he would not be able to persuade her to leave, so he could only follow her.

Just over two months after the Qingming Festival, the rugged mountain road is still littered with paper money that has been washed away by the rain, and the thorns and thatch that have been split with sickles by passers-by who go up the mountain to worship have grown wildly.

Even though Yuan Yan, who was walking in front, was neat, the robe on his body was torn by thorns in several places, but he didn't care, while paying attention to the movements around him, he split the thorns and thatch blocking the road with a dagger, so that He Linwan, who was following behind, would not have his clothes torn.

"This road should be untraveled in the near future. He Linwan said softly.

Yuan gradually nodded, "I know, there are so many roads up the mountain, just a little effort, it is impossible to find the one they are walking accurately, but don't worry, my ears are very good, this mountain is silent, I can hear any movement in the distance." ”

As soon as Yuan Yan's words fell, he suddenly paused, listened carefully, and his face suddenly became serious.

"It seems that someone is calling for help, you wait here, I'll go over and take a look first! Don't come with me!" Yuan gradually stuffed the dagger in his hand into He Linwan's hand without saying anything, and rushed away in one direction.

He Linwan didn't listen to Yuan Wan's words, and after Yuan Wan left, she also walked in that direction.

Although He Linwan has martial arts, after all, she has not experienced the hard training of the military camp like Yuan Jian, and without Yuan Jian's guidance, it is very difficult for her to walk on the thorny and thatched mountain road.

He Linwan's hands and neck were cut out of some small cuts by the thatch, which hurt hotly, but she didn't care at all, and chased after him with all her heart.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, when he was about to reach the top of the mountain, He Linwan suddenly heard the sound of fighting.

He Lin secretly screamed in his heart, and hurriedly quickened his pace.

He Linwan climbed to the top of the mountain, but found that the sound was coming from below, it turned out that there was a cliff platform about two zhang deep from the top of the mountain, and Yuan gradually was fighting with a gray-clothed masked man on it.

The moment he saw the gray-clothed masked man, the guess in He Linwan's heart came true, and he suddenly felt a sigh of relief.

Although Xue Xingyi and Li Yu both told her that Yang Chengying was still alive, and she had seen his back from afar, she didn't have a real feeling until this moment.

It's a pity that there is no time for her to be happy at this moment, Yang Chengying used to be a scholar who only reads sage books, although I don't know what he has experienced in the past few years, and he has learned some martial arts, but as soon as he fights with Yuan Yan, who has been practicing martial arts since childhood, he is full of flaws, and he is afraid that he will lose without ten moves.

As soon as He Linwan made this conclusion, the gray-clothed masked man was kicked out by Yuan Yan.

"I thought it was a hard stubble, but that's it. Yuan gradually walked towards Yang Chengying, who fell to the ground, and hooked half of the corners of his mouth and sneered, "What kind of hero is hiding his head and showing his tail?"
