Chapter XXVII
Out of the tavern, Yuehua Ai took Yahiko and the three of them to find a few villagers to inquire about the information of the bandits. The information that the Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info from the other party is not much different from that of the tavernkeeper.
Through the analysis of the information gathered, it is very likely that the bandits who had wreaked havoc here a few days ago were located on the hill not far north of the village.
According to the locals, there used to be a small cave in the village where robbers might have lodged, and the cave led directly to the belly of the mountain, and there was a large space in the belly of the mountain, which could accommodate many people to live in it.
The cave was originally created to provide shelter for the villagers in the event of a disaster, but unfortunately, the shelter that the villagers had painstakingly built was now a base for bandits.
Since the goal had been roughly determined, the group did not continue to stay in the village, and after inquiring about the route to the hill through the old man of the village, the group of four quickly rushed there. It was not yet noon, and they estimated that it would be close to lunchtime when they arrived at their destination.
Robbers are also ordinary people, and everyone's living habits are still the same. At noon, the robbers generally don't go out, and most of the members who go out will rush back, Yuehua loves them and thinks it's better to catch them all when the robbers gather, and they are scattered in the province, even if they find most of them, there will be a lot of fish that slip through the net.
In fact, everyone acts best at night, which can ensure that no robbers will miss to the greatest extent, but unfortunately the other party is not a ninja, just a group of ordinary people who have embarked on the evil path, and it is not worth their time to waste too much time.
Yuehua Ai looked at the sketch he had made a few times, and when he was sure that the route was correct, he beckoned everyone, put on a raincoat and hat, and headed north from the village road.
The ninja's feet are not comparable to ordinary people, and with the support of Chakra, the ninja's speed is far beyond ordinary people. Although Yuehua Ai and the others have not yet learned to use chakra to tread water and climb trees, their physical fitness and athleticism allow them to ignore most obstacles on the road.
After a year of training, everyone has become quite mature in the use of chakra, and I still remember that at the beginning, they couldn't hold on to the journey of dozens of miles, but now, as long as they are not too tired when they are in a hurry, they will not feel too tired.
Refining chakras and controlling the operation of chakras has long been the instinct of teenagers. In the process of hurrying, the teenagers' regular breathing and just the right pace saved everyone's physical energy to the greatest extent, and between the steps, the chakra circulated in the body on its own, which also made the muscles recover well.
The teenagers leaned forward, their hands behind their backs naturally straightened, and shuttled through the dense forest at a very fast speed. Their running posture at this time is the traditional way of the ninja, leaning forward can make the ninja better keep the body inertia when moving forward, the natural hands not only reduce the wind resistance when moving forward, but also keep the arms rested, so that in the face of sudden enemies, the hands can not only maintain the best state to react faster, but also more convenient to take the weapon from the ninja bag on the waist. This unique marching posture can distinguish whether the other party is a ninja or not to a certain extent, because ordinary people without chakra can't have such a forward speed, and it is extremely difficult for them to maintain balance with their forward bodies.
In about twenty minutes, everyone arrived at the planned location.
A huge strange stone appeared in everyone's field of vision, the strange stone is nearly three stories high, dozens of meters wide, and around the strange stone is a forked path. This boulder has been standing here for a long time, it is rumored that it rolled down from the top of the mountain more than 100 years ago, and later several villages were established in this area, and the boulder is located between several villages, and later several villages were connected to each other, and several interconnected paths were opened, and this stone became a local road signpost.
The boulder is one, and it is rare for a stone of such size to exist alone without being integrated with the mountain. Yahiko and the others don't know anything about stones and geography, and they are not interested in it, but they just take a few casual glances, and everyone pays more attention to Yuehuaai, it is very rare to see such a huge stone as a whole, you must know that the famous Ayers Rock in the previous life is famous because it is a whole boulder. Of course, the stone in front of him was far worse than the three hundred and forty-eight meters high, nearly ten kilometers long Ayers Rock, although it was far away, but it was rare, but this also made Yue Huaai a little admired, and he didn't pay too much attention after a few glances.
The location of the boulder is the foot of the North Mountain, and everyone has entered the mountain by bypassing the boulder and continuing to the north.
The rain in the sky was pouring down, which made it a little hindered to the search for the bandits. Because of the rain, even Yuehuaai is not easy to find the traces of the target. The reason why clues are difficult to find is not that those robbers have a strong ability to track them, they actually did not hide their traces along the way, but the weather and terrain helped them a lot.
The hill under everyone's feet is a mountain rock structure, and the perennial rain has washed away the mountain without much mud remaining, and it is basically unrealistic to look for footprints or something, and even if someone walks through the mountain, even if there are occasional footprints on the ground, but there is still rain in the sky, this continuous rain, I don't know how many traces have been buried.
So, here, without saying anything about deliberately dealing with your own traces, even if you want to deliberately leave some traces, you know, the gray-brown rocks all over here are not only smooth, but also extremely hard.
Yuehua Ai found a place with a relatively empty field of vision, he stood to the highest place nearby, while pulling the brim of the raincoat with one hand so that it would not obstruct his vision, while standing on tiptoe and looking into the distance, looking at the trend of the mountain.
Because the orthodox route up the mountain is not on the south side of the mountain, the people who came from the south did not follow the orthodox route into the mountain, but directly chose a shortcut, following a straight line, directly into the mountain.
The regular route up the mountain leads directly to the cave on the mountain, because of the shortcut chosen, so it is difficult for Yuehua to grasp the location of the cave in the mountain.
What Yue Huaai wants to do now is to judge the location of the cave according to what she and the others know, as long as the bandits are indeed here, then if they find the cave, it means that everyone has found their goal.
Although the ninja's eyesight was much higher than that of ordinary people, Tsukikaai frowned deeply after looking around. Because of the rain, the mountain was covered with mist, and even if he had found the best position to watch the stream, it was a white expanse in the distance, and the visibility was very low.
Because the visibility is too low, this is also the view of Yuehuaai's observation of the mountain, originally he wanted to judge the location of the cave by the direction of the mountain, you must know that the villagers once said that the cave is connected to the mountain, there is a lot of space in the mountain, there is a huge space in the mountainside but it does not collapse, it is conceivable that this must have a unique mountain support.
As long as Yuehuaai sees the general trend of the mountain, she has a great confidence to judge the location of the cave, but unfortunately, the misty mist in the mountains made his plan aborted at the beginning.
"Didn't you find anything?" Seeing Yuehua Ai frowning, Yahiko couldn't help but ask.
Yue Huaai nodded directly, "The environment here is special, and I can't see the direction of the mountain at all, so it's not easy to judge the location of the cave." ”
"Mountain ......." Yahiko rolled his eyes and looked helpless, to be honest, he didn't know anything about the geography of the mountain, for this kind of thing, not only him, Nagato and Xiaonan also didn't know anything, if you want to say that you can communicate with Yuehua Ai on these things, only Jiraiya.
For Yahiko's white eyes, Yuehua Ai just shrugged his shoulders, he didn't care about the other party's ignorance of geography and terrain, you must know that there is no special geography class in this world, and the reason why Zilai can communicate with himself is more based on the experience accumulated over many years of life. Since I can only talk about some simple things with Yuehuaai, not to mention Yahiko, who has been orphaned since childhood.
Since you can't see the trend of mountains and rivers, let's look at something else!
Yuehua Ai continued to look at the same place, and after observing for a while, he beckoned the others to let them follow him. After changing several locations in a row, Yuehua Ai hastily checked it out, and then quickly walked to other places.
Although everyone has been following Yuehuaai, they don't know what he is observing. When Yuehua loved to look out, Yahiko and they were also observing, but unfortunately they didn't have any ideas at all. After changing a few more positions, Xiao Nan couldn't help but speak,
"Xiao Ai, what are you looking at?"
"Look at the rain!" Yuehua Ai smiled at Xiao Nan.
"What can you see from the rain?" Nagato looked confused.
I feel that wisdom and experience are really not in the same dimension! For the doubts of the teenagers, Yuehua Ai directly threw out a cute white eye.
He stepped on the stream of rain gathered at his feet.
"I'm looking at the flow of water. ”
"Mountain?!Flow?!" Yahiko had a look on his face.
"The location of the cave must be suitable for human habitation, since it is habitable, it must be far away from the place where the rain collects, and I can also roughly judge the topography of the place by the direction of the water, and the combination of the two can be deduced, and the direction of the cave can be almost determined. ”
Because it involves the geography and mathematical knowledge of the previous life, Yue Huaai will not elaborate on the specific derivation formula or something, he just talked about his own judgment method.
Although I don't know how Yuehua Ai thinks about deduction, just thinking of observing the flow of water to judge makes Nagato admire.
"Xiao Ai, you are so amazing!" Xiao Nan couldn't help but praise directly.
Although she couldn't understand why Xiao Ai knew so much, it didn't prevent her from being proud of him. Over the years, she feels that the luckiest and most complacent thing is to 'pick up' Yuehuaai.
"Uh, hehe!" Yuehua smiled shyly, he was still quite complacent about Xiao Nan's admiration.
When his thoughts returned, Yuehua Ai comprehensively analyzed what he had seen before, and he pointed to the east side and said:
"The direction of the cave should be in this direction, let's go over and take a look. ”
"Let's go!" everyone nodded in response.
