Chapter 1078: A Lump of Excavated Gold
For several days, Zhao Hui was in the mountains, and after eating the dry food he brought, he ate the game in the mountains.
Hares, pheasants, and even wild boars are their dishes.
In addition, there are wild vegetables, wild fruits, mushrooms, etc.
Although there are a lot of poisonous mushrooms, Zhao Hui can tell them ninety-nine percent of the time.
If you can't be sure of the rest of it, it doesn't matter if they don't eat it.
This mountain is rich in products, and it is no problem for 200 people to eat for several months.
In a month's time, if Liu Bei can't be found again, he will definitely let him escape to Yizhou.
In order to find Liu Bei's traces as soon as possible, the two hundred guards in Zhao Hui's hands were also completely dispersed, in groups of five, from east to west, plowing the court to search every area like a hole, looking for every suspicious trace.
The deeper Jingshan is, the more difficult it is to see the traces of people, as long as there are traces left by people, it is worthy of Zhao Hui's attention.
The traces left by people and animals are still very different, not to mention that Liu Bei and his party have about 100 people.
Even if it is divided into two batches, there are fifty people in each batch.
Even if the fifty people were careful not to touch the thorns and bushes and leave no footprints, the fifty people had to eat, drink, and lazar.
That's enough to leave a lot of information.
In the past few days, Zhao Hui did not find useful information, and he came directly to the traces found by the previous spies.
But after a long time, even if no one destroys it, now the traces are almost gone.
It is basically impossible to judge from this.
However, Zhao Hui still took this as the center and led a few people to look around.
The main direction is towards the west.
The mountain road is not easy to walk, and you have to search carefully, and the range of the search office is only four or five miles every day.
It is also a patient job that cannot be rushed.
Zhao Hui's yellow lion is also placed at the foot of the mountain, and he also searches for it himself every day, looking for possible traces step by step.
Although no trace of Liu Bei has been found for the time being, Zhao Hui has a feeling that Liu Bei is now in this mountain forest.
While sending people to look for them in the mountains, Zhao Hui once again sent additional people to guard the west side of Jingshan.
On the fifth day of entering Jingshan, Zhao Hui finally made a new discovery.
It's a mess of.
Zhao Hui carefully looked at the environment on the side, although many days had passed, he could still recognize that this was excreted by people, not a beast in the mountains.
Moreover, there are traces of being dug up, and it should be that someone and buried it.
But after leaving, he was dug up by the beasts that came here.
"Dig up the perimeter and take a look." Zhao Hui said.
A piece of may not necessarily be left by Liu Bei and others, but it may also be a hunter in the mountains.
A group of people, facing a radius of ten zhang, all dug through.
Sure enough, several more places were found, all buried underneath.
"It seems that Liu Bei and they passed through here."
There are more than a dozen lumps in total, and if it were just Orion, it would be impossible for so many people.
"At least more than eighty percent of them may be Liu Bei and his party."
"From here, head west, keep searching."
Liu Bei's goal is Yizhou, and no matter where he goes, he must point to the west.
The road may be tortuous, but as long as you go west, you will definitely be able to continue to search for Liu Bei's traces.
Originally, for so many days, nothing was found, and many people's emotions were not high, and they felt discouraged, it was impossible to find Liu Bei, or that Liu Bei was no longer here.
But now, at last, they have found out, and they are all motivated again.
With the discovery, Zhao Hui and their speed also accelerated a lot, unlike before, almost like headless flies.
Now that they had the exact direction, they fanned westward, taking the excrement as a point.
Although the scope of the search will continue to grow.
But as long as the traces left by Liu Bei and them are found again, they can use the new traces as a point to search in a fan shape again.
A day later, Zhao Hui advanced more than ten miles, only twice as fast as before.
Moreover, they have made new discoveries.
This time it's not excrement, it's a wild fruit that has been bitten off. There were also human tooth marks on it.
Another day passed, and burned branches and ashes were found.
Although they are all buried, because of Zhao Hui, they now have a direction and there are many people.
Even if Liu Bei buried all these things, if he looked closely, he could still find a little different.
The ground has been newly turned upside down, and even if it is covered with leaves, some of the leaves can be found to be flipped on both sides.
After all, if the leaves fall, if no one moves, there will be a big difference between the side facing the ground and the side facing the air.
Also, the ground is covered with irregular leaves, with few in some places and thick in others.
There are also a lot of new leaves, which normally don't fall off at all, but now they are all covered together.
If you dig down, you can almost always find something buried.
Although because they had to search for the traces left by Liu Bei, Zhao Hui and they could not move forward at full speed.
But the two hundred guards, who have also trained many times in the mountains and forests, are familiar with life in the mountains and forests, and their actions here have little impact.
Even if they were to search for traces, they wouldn't be too slow.
Especially now that they have a direction, they can advance ten or twenty miles a day.
And Liu Bei and his entourage, there are old and young, and there are also women.
Even if they run on the main road, they can't run fast, let alone walk on this mountain road.
Moreover, they also had to evade the search of Zhao Jun, and at the end of the day, the speed of advance was not as fast as Zhao Hui who was behind.
Zhao Hui followed behind, and the traces found every day were more and more, and they were getting newer and newer.
He knew that he was about to catch up with Liu Bei. It's not very far, it's only two or three days at most.
During this period, excrement was found several times, and it also looked fresh, and even the color was still yellow.
However, from these feces, Zhao Hui could also see that Liu Bei and his party did not eat much.
I don't know who has eaten bad stomachs, and how many people have been poisoned.
Two days later, Zhao Hui finally caught up with Liu Bei and his party.
There were still more than three miles away, and Zhao Hui saw the fireworks that appeared in front of him.
The color of the smoke is very light, just a puff of green smoke, and you can't see it from a little distance.
However, Zhao Hui had a telescope in his hand, even though the color of the green smoke was very light, almost blending with the sky, but it was still discovered by Zhao Hui.
Zhao Hui immediately led his personal guards and ran towards the position where the green smoke was rising.
After chasing in the past few days, how many people are in front, through these traces found, Zhao Hui can also guess it.
The two hundred guards in his hands are enough to deal with Liu Bei and others.
Even if he was alone, in this jungle, Zhao Hui only needed a bow, and he could easily kill Liu Bei and his party.
His archery skills are not as good as Zhao Yuntai Shi Ci, but Zhao Hui's concealment ability in the jungle, Zhao Yun Tai Shi Ci is far inferior to him.
If Zhao Hui was shooting arrows in secret, no one would be able to detect him.
