Chapter 35: Exploring the Sheepfold at Night
It turned out that he saw that I had been in the woods for a long time and did not come back, so he came over to take a look, but when he saw me standing there with straight eyes, he did not dare to call me rashly, so he waited for a few minutes. www.biquge.info But it was too cold in the woods, and he couldn't stand it, so he called me softly.
After I saw the person who called me clearly, I grabbed Uncle Li and said, "Here, there are dead people down here!"
Uncle Li's face changed when he heard this, "No, is it possible that someone's grave is it?"
I shook my head and said, "Impossible, this corpse was buried directly in the soil not long after it died, not to mention the coffin, not even a straw mat." ”
Suddenly, from a short distance we heard a few sheep cries, and we saw that the sheep herder we had met during the day was driving the sheep towards us. When I saw him during the day, I didn't look closely at the portrait of this person, and when I looked at him again, I couldn't help but be surprised, he should be the "old bachelor".
The old bachelor looked at me and Uncle Li with a puzzled expression, and when he found where we were standing, his expression was obviously different. As soon as I saw it, I hurriedly unbuckled my belt, walked to the side and let go of the water, and then lifted my pants and said to Uncle Li, "Go back quickly, it's so cold here!"
Uncle Li immediately understood my intentions, and without saying a word, he returned to the fire with me.
The old man stared at us for a moment, and then slowly drove the sheep back to his fold. The woman who was whining just now immediately stopped screaming as if she could feel it.
When I saw the old man walk into his house, I told Uncle Li what I had just seen in the woods. After hearing this, he pondered for a while and said, "If the corpse in the forest is that of a madwoman, then who is it that is now locked up in the sheepfold?"
Uncle Li and I looked at each other for a while, and then said in unison, "Zhao Min!"
It would be terrible if that were the case, and it would be terrible for such a girl to suffer the same thing as the woman who died...... Thinking of this, my heart can't help but feel a chill.
Ding Yi walked out of the tent at this time, and when he saw that I hadn't returned to the toilet for a long time, he came out to see what was wrong with me. Uncle Li saw that he was also awake, so he asked him to wake up Luo Hai too, saying that there was something to discuss together.
A few of us gathered around the fire, if it was easier to do it when the old bachelor didn't come back before, just go to the sheepfold to see if it was Zhao Min. But now that he's back, it's a different story.
We came from other places, and although the people here are simple, if we rush to forcibly enter the old bachelor's house to find someone, it will inevitably cause criticism. The people in the mountains are already united, and when the time comes, we won't be able to eat and go around.
At this time, it is about to be the second half of the night, and before dawn, we must determine whether the woman in the sheepfold is Zhao Min, otherwise it will be even more difficult to do when it dawns the next day. In the end, Uncle Li decided to let Ding Yi go and take a look unknowingly, we all have photos of Zhao Min here, if it is really her, it should not be difficult to recognize.
In order to hide people's eyes, we all went back to sleep in the tent first, while Ding Yi took advantage of the night to sneak into the sheepfold of the old bachelor's house. Every now and then, I admire Ding Yi's skills, a big man of more than one meter and eight meters, when he jumps into the sheepfold, he can be so silent, and when his feet land, he doesn't make a sound like stepping on cotton.
But though there was no sound at his feet, the beasts in the sheepfold were not blind, and they were not afraid to scream when they suddenly jumped in such a stranger, and I wondered how he had done it.
Just when I was curious about how Ding Yi didn't let the sheep cry, he actually got back to the tent with a cool air. I was shocked and said, "So fast, can you see people clearly?"
Ding Yi's expression was a little solemn, and he said to me: "Although it is very dark inside, it is certain that it is Zhao Min." ”
It turned out that Ding Yi jumped into the sheepfold and rolled over to a locked shed inside, the lock on the door Ding Yi easily opened, and when he entered, he found that there was a particularly large dog cage inside, and when he looked closely, there was a woman curled up in the cage.
It was now close to freezing in the morning and evening, but the woman in the dog cage was unexpectedly untouched, and her whole body was shivering from the cold. Ding Yi's sudden appearance frightened her and she opened her mouth to scream, but Ding Yi covered her mouth with his hand, and then whispered to her: "Don't make a sound, I'm here to save you." ”
The woman was instantly quiet, not struggling too much. The light in this shed was dim, and the woman's face was so dirty that she couldn't see her as she was.
Ding Yiyi asked her in a low voice, "Are you Zhao Min?"
The woman's body stiffened, and she immediately nodded hurriedly, and then began to cry uncontrollably. Ding Yi was afraid that the old bachelor would hear his voice, so he whispered to her: "Don't cry, we will come to save you tomorrow, you must not let him see the difference." ”
The woman wiped the tears from her face, lowered her head, and said no more......
At dawn the next day, Ding Yi and I found Uncle Li and told him the results of the night visit to the sheepfold last night. Uncle Li pondered for a while and said, "Things are really going in the most complicated direction, but fortunately, the girl is not dead." ”
"But how do you talk to Zhao Gang now?" I said with a look of embarrassment. Luo Hai also interjected at this time and said: "It's hard to say, a good little girl has become like this......"
"It's hard to say, Luo Hai, you go and invite him, just say that we have important things to discuss with him. Uncle Li said.
Luo Hai nodded, turned around and walked towards Zhao Gang. At this time, Zhao Gang and the two members of the rescue team began to collect the tent, and when they saw Luo Hai walking towards him, they stopped what they were doing. Luo Hai walked up to him and whispered a word to him, he was stunned for a moment, then looked at us, and then put down the tent in his hand and walked over.
Among the few of us, Uncle Li is the oldest, so naturally he can only explain Zhao Min's situation to Zhao Gang. Zhao Gang should be a very stable man, but even so, he was still trembling with anger and couldn't speak for a long time.
I wanted to say something to comfort him, but I was stopped by Uncle Li. I knew that he wanted Zhao Gang to digest this matter by himself, after all, it was too big a blow to him. If it was his wife who heard these things now, she would have fainted a long time ago.
After a while, Zhao Gang raised his face, and I saw that his eyes were red, and he should have endured it so that he didn't shed tears.
He said, "Uncle Li, what do you say you should do now? Do you want to rob someone right away or ......?"
Uncle Li shook his head and said, "No, I know you must be in a hurry now, but if we rob people so rashly, I'm afraid that several herdsmen here will come up together and fight with us, and it will be troublesome if we hurt Zhao Min again." ”
