Chapter 247: Traces
When Ealing arrived, the troops on the ground had already been waiting for a long time, and now saving people was like fighting fire.
Guo Zhiyuan and the others didn't talk nonsense, and after asking the other party's leader for something, they went on the road, and on the way, they asked Gu Ziyang in detail where they last contacted.
"I've looked for everything, but unfortunately I haven't found anything. β
Guo Zhiyuan didn't believe that these big living people would disappear for no reason? Although the other party didn't find anything, he still asked according to his own thoughts, the situation in the primeval forest is complicated and changeable, he must ask clearly, so that he can better go in and find people.
Eling had little experience in finding people, especially in such a strange place, she had never been here, let alone gone into the woods to find someone.
Pushing Gu Zihang beside him, he asked in a low voice: "Your eldest brother, they won't be lost, right?" Even the old forest, he doesn't walk often, and it's usually easy to get lost. β
Gu Zihang wasn't sure about this, but one thing he could be sure of was "Whether it's lost or something else, the dry food on their bodies has been used up, I'm afraid the water is long gone, once there is any accident, they really don't have the physical strength to come out." β
Yi Ling nodded clearly, and said secretly: Also, Gu Ziyang should have graduated from the military academy for less than two years, and he came to this unfamiliar place from the north, even if he has the ability and has not undergone wilderness survival training, it is quite difficult, I hope that among them, there can be such capable people, at least they can find food and water.
Before entering, Guo Zhiyuan asked the big guy to tie his trouser legs tightly, and Yi Ling gave each person a medicine bag, "This is to prevent poisonous snakes from approaching and mosquito bites, take them all with you, don't lose them-"
Guo Zhiyuan looked at his daughter with satisfaction and smiled, this girl either doesn't do it, or she will be fully prepared, and she is not the daughter he gave birth to.
"Alright, let's goβ"
Because it involved confidential matters, there were no guides, but a few of the people who came were local soldiers, and they were much more familiar with the forest than outsiders like Yiling.
Eling was the youngest of the people here, and even though she struggled to keep up, her short stature and short legs made it much more difficult to walk than the others.
Guo Zhiyuan also felt sorry for his daughter, and Gu Zihang was even more reluctant, if it weren't for their family's affairs, Yi Ling wouldn't have been able to come all the way to suffer.
Yi Ling's backpack let Guo Zhiyuan carry it, and Gu Zihang pulled Yi Ling to follow the team.
"Tired or not?"
Facing Gu Zihang's concern, Yi Ling smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, I often go up the mountain when I am in my hometown, I am used to it, but this place is not as good as ours, it is too humid." β
As soon as the words fell, there was a downpour in the sky, but fortunately, Guo Zhiyuan was prepared here, so the big guy quickly took out his raincoat and put it on.
This thing can not only be rainproof, but also windproof, but because Yi Ling is small, she can't find clothes with her number, and the smallest number is also at her feet, Gu Zihang simply wears a dress with Yi Ling, and he helps Yi Ling block the rain.
"Stop for a moment, take shelter from the rainβ"
Everyone knows that in such a situation, you can only wait for the rain to stop before leaving, otherwise, it is easy to get lost, Guo Zhiyuan kept talking to the previous time to find and confirm the direction and location when he was resting.
The rain came and stopped quickly, and Yiling set off again, but this muddy road made the big guy suffer a lot, and it was difficult and laborious.
Even if Yi Ling is tired, she can't shout tired at this time, not to mention her father, let's just say Gu Zihang, she must be in a hurry to find their family as soon as possible.
"Let's rest in place, eat something, look for it by the way, see if there's anything missing, this is where they last stayed, see if there's anything indicated. β
Gu Zihang got up to observe while eating, after the rain and the last time so many people came to look for it, Yi Ling really didn't think he could find anything, even if the other party left traces, but it should not be found on the ground.
Thinking of this, she suddenly raised her head, there was no one on the ground, maybe there was one on the top, she was also like Gu Zihang, holding biscuits and eating while following the big guy to look for it.
"Dad, are you sure this is the last place they are in contact with? Why didn't I see the fire they lit, whether it rained or not, I could see the traces of burnt firewood?"
Guo Zhiyuan said while inspecting: "They don't make fires, because that will attract the attention of the other party, so the attention can't be here, we have to look at other aspects, I don't know in what direction they chased out." β
Yi Ling tilted his head and sighed, there was no trace of life, how could I find this.
Guo Zhiyuan let everyone disperse, "Let's take a closer look, no matter what traces there are, maybe they are all clues for us to follow, remember the direction, and we will meet here after half an hourββ"
The father and daughter followed Gu Zihang's team, walking farther and farther away little by little, and on the way they saw a branch broken, but this was not enough to make sure that this was what Gu Ziyang did them, so they continued to search.
Yi Ling is picking herbs while walking, she really can't find someone, anyway, Guo Zhiyuan and they have to come back, so she is not in a hurry.
Suddenly, she found a rare herb in a tree hole, which she had mentioned in the book, but she couldn't find it at Xiaocui's side before.
"This is a babyβ"
Dig it up and put it in the backpack, and continue to walk forward, the direction she walked was slightly off from the direction of Guo Zhiyuan and them, and inadvertently, she found a very thin white silk on a tree trunk, not deliberately to look at it, it is easy for people to ignore, even if they see it, it will make people think that it is spider silk.
Eling took it, and it was a small white line as long as his thumb, and it was still very thin, no wonder no one had seen it before, because this thing was not spider silk at all, but cotton silk.
"Daddy, Daddy, come on-"
Guo Zhiyuan thought that something had happened to his daughter, so he ran back lifelessly, but fortunately, Yi Ling kept shouting, at least so that he could judge the location.
"What's wrong?"
Yi Ling handed the things he found in his hand to Guo Zhiyuan, who ran to him, "Dad, look-"
Guo Zhiyuan took it over and took a closer look, this cotton silk was different from the white shirts worn by the soldiers, and this should belong to the high-end clothes.
"Girl, where did you find it?"
Gu Zihang panted and ran over, the concern in his eyes was something that everyone could see, "What's the matter, Yi Ling, are you okay?"
Yi Ling smiled and shook her head, "I seem to have found something, you can call someone over." β
Guo Zhiyuan nodded at Gu Zihang, Gu Zihang took out the whistle prepared in advance and blew it in the forest, and the people in the distance heard this sound and moved closer to this side, Guo Zhiyuan and the other two people reconfirmed the things in their hands.
"This is certainly not what our fighters left behind. β
After the other party confirmed, Guo Zhiyuan pointed to the southwest direction and continued to move forward.
