673 - Good news and bad news
With a belly full of evil fire, the thief came to the residence of Ah Zai, and when he came to the place, the house was empty and there was no one in sight.
The thief walked in and reached out and touched the animal skin futon, which was still warm.
Seeing this, the thief frowned: "It looks like I just left not long ago." ”
As he spoke, the thief walked out and looked left and right along Azai's residence.
He first went to the public latrine in the tribe, but when he entered, there was no one to be seen, and the thief retreated.
Later, the thief suspected that Ah Zai went to the logistics department, but when the thief went to the logistics department, the logistics tribesmen who were in charge of standing guard and keeping vigil told the thief that Ah Zai had just taken some food and went out, and asked him what he was going to do, but he didn't say anything. And Ah Zheng has done this several times, almost every few days, and one time is enough for one person to eat well.
After calming the man and telling him not to spread the news, the thief walked out.
"Now that the sky is dawning, where did Ah Zai go? And he took so much food. Could it be that he went to find Mulian? he sent food to Mulian?" Ji Thief couldn't help but mutter.
By the way, if Mulian is alive, Ah Zai will definitely go to her, not to mention anything else, Mulian alone can't catch enough food for herself, so Ah Zai can only help.
In the past, Ah Zai disappeared for three days, and he left for several days, combined with the logistics tribesmen who said that Ah Zai took food more than once, Ji Thief was more sure of his thoughts.
After sorting out this thought, the thief didn't dare to stay, and hurriedly left.
He took the iron spear and went towards the nearest west gate, and when he came to him, he asked the guard, "Have you seen Ah Zheng?"
Everyone shook their heads, with blank expressions: "No, Patriarch, are you looking for Lord Azai, do you want us to help find it?"
Ji Thief waved his hand: "No, you continue to stand guard, I have nothing to do, okay, I'll go first." ”
The thief turned around and got off the bridge, and as he was walking, he suddenly realized a problem.
When he said that he was using a bitter trick to make Ah Zai better gain the trust of Bu, it was Ah Zai who proposed the escape route for him and the Aomine captive.
At that time, I still wondered how Ah Zai was so familiar with the terrain of Lihuo, but now it seems that Ah Zai has walked many times, and he is also familiar with that route.
I can't say, he is the Mulian who sneaks out from here every time to find it.
With a frustrated self-blame, the thief hurriedly ran over with an iron spear.
When he climbed out of the Li volcano wall along the road that Ah Zai said, and came to the plain outside, he saw a series of clear footprints in the open plain and in the snow.
Ji Thief's eyes couldn't wait to pop out, and sure enough, Ah Zheng really ran out from here.
Without saying a word, he followed the footprints and chased forward with an iron spear.
Chase all the way until near dawn, snowflakes float in the sky.
Seeing this, Ji Thief was a little anxious, and said that if he didn't speed up a little, if the snow was bigger, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to keep up with the footprints left by Ah Zheng.
Thinking of this, Ji Thief hurriedly quickened his pace.
In the Lihuo tribe, the sky is bright, and the witch comes to find the thief because the personnel department wants to engrave tokens for Ah Zheng, Ah Qi, Sha Mu and Xiao Qing.
But when he came to the front, there was no trace of the thief.
She searched for a long time and asked several people in charge but said she didn't see it.
For a while, everyone was a little puzzled when they knew that the thief was not there, and they looked around in the valley.
Later, the clansmen who were still guarding the West Gate said that the thief had looked for Ah Zheng yesterday.
Hearing this, everyone realized that not only was the thief gone, but even Ah Zheng was gone.
At this moment, everyone hesitated.
Why did the good thief disappear with Ah Zheng?
In the end, it was Tushan who said that the patriarch often disappeared and would come back in a short time, and this time, if he might come back in a few days, he dispelled everyone's worries.
As soon as everyone thought about it, they canceled the idea of continuing to look for it, what should they do.
But it's only snow, I don't know why, my heart always beats very fast.
Moreover, her right eyelid also shook as if it was convulsed.
Ah Qi noticed that something was wrong with Xue and asked her what was wrong, however, Xue, who didn't want to cause trouble for everyone, just fooled her with words.
Regarding the disappearance of the thief, everyone was nervous for about an hour, and then, what should be done, or how should it be.
Let's put down the Lihuo tribe first, let's not talk about it here, the camera shifted, and the thief was still chasing Ah Zheng's steps forward.
For a full day, in the evening, the thief chased him to the cliff facing the sea in the east, and disappeared from the tomb.
He was covered with broken jade, and he almost merged with the whole land and walked forward.
When the thief came to the cliff, he saw that on a path up from the cliff, there was a series of clear footprints of Azai.
He hesitated for a moment, watching a dark figure in the snow enter a cave inside the cliff before sliding down the path.
"Mulian, Mulian!"
As soon as he entered the cave, Ah Zheng, who was carrying a pile of food, couldn't help but scream loudly.
As his voice fell, deep in the cave, Mu Lian walked out, and said to Ah Zheng with a concerned and virtuous expression: "It's raining so much snow that you're still here, I'm really not afraid of accidents, aren't you, tired, come, sit down." ”
Regarding Mulian's sudden change of attitude, Ah Zheng took a look.
Seriously, it's rare to see Mulian like this in the past.
"Ah, what's wrong with you?"
Mulian took out a bowl of warm snow water from the clay pot sitting on the coals, handed it to Ah Zheng and asked.
Ah Zai took it and shook his head: "No, it's nothing Mulian, but I suddenly feel that you have changed a lot." ”
Mulian smiled and sat beside Ah Zheng obediently, not moving, just watching with a pair of eyes.
Moreover, there is a little expectation in his eyes.
Ah Zai couldn't sit still, put down the bowl in his hand and said, "That Mulian, I have something to tell you." ”
Mulian nodded: "Well, you say." ”
Ah Zai said: "The patriarch asked me to be the deputy patriarch, which means to be the deputy patriarch." ”
Mu Lian was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "This is good news." ”
When she said this, Mu Lian thought in her heart that Ah Zai had become the deputy patriarch and became the number two person of the Lihuo tribe, so if she could persuade Ah Zai to persuade Ji Thief to return to the Lihuo tribe, as long as she behaved well, she would definitely be able to eliminate Ji Thief's opinion of herself.
When the time comes, with the cooperation and cover of Ah Zheng, he will do some tricks and control the Lihuo tribe, and it is not impossible to take revenge on the thief.
As soon as she thought of this, Mu Lian couldn't help but breathe faster, and the expression on her face was even more excited.
Ah Zai didn't notice Mu Lian's expression, he lowered his head the whole time, looking like he blamed himself: "That Mu Lian, there is something I have to tell you." ”
Seeing Ah Zheng's performance, Mu Lian was stunned for a moment, and then nodded and said, "You say." ”
Ah Zai looked at Mu Lian with guilt on his face, and said, "Mu Lian, I told the patriarch about you. ”
Mu Lian's breathing became tense at this moment: "What did the thief say?"
Ah Zai didn't dare to look directly at Mu Lian: "Clan, the patriarch said no, even if I give up the position of deputy patriarch, the patriarch will say that he will not forgive you." But don't worry, Mulian, I will definitely convince the patriarch. ”
Mu Lian's eyes widened: "You told Ji Thief that I was still alive?"
Ah Zai hurriedly shook his head, and waved his hand and said, "No, no, I didn't say this." ”
Mu Lian breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and said to Ah Zheng: "It's okay, Ah Zheng, I'm not in a hurry, anyway, I've been here for more than a year, and it's not bad, but don't be stupid, don't take the position of deputy patriarch in exchange for me to be able to return to the Lihuo tribe." ”
Ah Zai just thought that Mulian was thinking about herself, and she couldn't help but be greatly moved.
In fact, he knew that Mu Lian was afraid that Ah Zheng would lose the position of deputy patriarch and have no status in Ji Thief, so it would be useless to go back by himself.
"Mulian, don't worry, I will never let you stay here all the time, no matter what, I will definitely convince the patriarch, for example, if it really doesn't work, I, I will leave the Lihuo Tribe, and the two of us can live well." Ah Zheng suddenly grabbed Mu Lian's hand and said.
