A few people could no longer move forward, so they could only stand on the shore and discuss countermeasures.

Han Xuening looked carefully at both sides of the river, there was a narrow road on the left and right, only twenty or thirty meters, and next to it was a dense forest, there was no road.

The only way to move forward is to cross this shallow river.

Koharu walked to the river, looked at it carefully, and said, "Although this river is not big, it is also more than ten meters wide, and if you don't have a boat, you can't cross it." ”

Everyone looked for boats in the river on the shore, but after a long search, they didn't find any boats that could cross the river.

Han Xue thought for a while and said, "There were originally boats here that could cross the river, maybe when Wheat and Zhou Tong's predecessors crossed the river, they took a boat. If there is no one coming from the opposite side, the ship should be on the opposite shore. ”

After Han Xuening finished speaking, she pointed to a big tree by the river opposite.

From a distance, there was a small boat with ropes tied to the trunk of a large tree, and it was clear that someone was passing by.

So how do you cross the river?

"That's right! There are boats over there, how can we cross the river? "Xiao Xia also saw the boat, but he couldn't get past the boat.

Among the eight people, only Han Xuening could easily reach the other side through light work, Han Xuening thought, as long as she could get to the other side, row the boat over, and then let everyone get on the boat to cross the river, so that the matter would be solved.

"Guys, find some branches first, and I'll go to the other side and row the boat over. Then take turns to carry everyone across the river. ”

After Han Xuening finished telling everyone, she began to prepare, using the big tree by the river to use her strength to perform light skills, and soon leaped to the opposite bank.

The two imperial doctors had never seen the queen's martial arts, and they were surprised to see that the queen had such profound martial arts this time.

Han Xuening easily reached the opposite shore and found an oar on the shore, she untied the reins after getting on the boat and rowed the boat to the opposite shore.

The boat was relatively small, with a maximum of four people at a time, and Han Xuening used three round-trips to send everyone to the other side smoothly.

There are three small roads to the east, and everyone is looking for clues on the side of the path, if the road that Wheat and Zhou Tong have walked, they will definitely leave footprints and other traces on the road.

Sure enough, on the middle road, there were some footprints, and it was likely that Wheat and Zhou Tong walked from this road.

The eight people were still divided into four groups, Han Xuening and Xiaodong walked in front of them, Han Xuening asked everyone to be careful, after all, everyone is not familiar with this forest, in case there is a poisonous snake wild, everyone must deal with it in time.

Everyone has a sharp dagger in their hands, ready to deal with possible accidents.

The trail went all the way to the east, and after walking for more than half an hour, everyone saw that there was a large open space the year before last, and the open space was very large, enough for many people to rest together.

"Let's go to the front and rest first."

Han Xuening said to the people behind.

Everyone continued to walk forward slowly, and when they were about to reach the clearing, Han Xuening saw that something was wrong with a piece of grass in front of them, and the growth of these grasses was different from the grass around them.

At this time, Xiao Dong was about to step on these grasses, but Han Xuening hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Xiao Dong back.

At this time, the previous year's grass suddenly had some soil sinking.

"Everyone, stop, there should be a trap ahead."

Han Xuening noticed that something was wrong and hurriedly said to everyone.

Everyone stopped, and Han Xuening picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at the grass more than three meters away in front of him.

As a result, the grass sank all at once, and the stones that had just been thrown also fell, and a deep pit more than four meters wide appeared in front of it.

Sure enough, it was a trap, Han Xuening and Xiao Dong slowly stepped forward, and when they came to the edge of the big pit, they saw clearly that the pit was full of densely packed upside-down bamboo arrows, and if a person fell, he would definitely be pierced into a hornet's nest.

Xiao Dong looked at the bamboo arrows in the trap and gasped, just now fortunately, Han Xuening reacted quickly and turned her back, otherwise it would really fall, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

The people behind all came around, and after seeing such a big trap, they also felt afraid.

Koharu was a little angry, "Who is so boring to dig such a big trap here." ”

Lin Ziming said: "This trap is very likely to catch large beasts in the forest, there are definitely large beasts in this forest, and there is more than one trap." ”

Lin Ziming's analysis is very reasonable, and Lin Zicong suggested that everyone who walks in the front should cut off a long trunk from a tree, or find a long bamboo pole.

If there is a trap in front of you, if you are touched by a bamboo pole, the cover on the trap will fall, and you will know that there is a trap in front of you.

Xiao Xia said that when she came over just now, she found some very long bamboos on the side of the road, and she could cut one off as a test of the road.

Han Xuening asked Xiao Xia and Lin Ziming to go back and cut a bamboo, and they were waiting here.

Xiao Xia and Lin Ziming returned, and after more than ten minutes, the two came over with a bamboo pole that was five or six meters high.

Xiao Dong said: "You guys are quite fast, now that you have bamboo, the task of exploring the road ahead will be handed over to you two men." ”

The two men Xiao Dong refers to are the two brothers Lin Ziming and Lin Zicong.

Lin Ziming volunteered, saying that he was exploring the way in front with a bamboo pole, and Xiao Xia said that he would take the lead with Lin Ziming.

In this way, Xiao Xia and Lin Ziming took bamboo poles to explore the way in front, and they walked through the trap, which was a circular open space of 100 square meters, and in the entire open space, the two of them found four traps. The four traps are located in each of the four directions of the clearing.

The trap was eliminated, everyone had been gone all morning, Han Xuening asked everyone to rest for a while and eat some dry food by the way. Let's look at the next steps.

Several people gathered, and Xiao Dong said, "There are four traps laid here, which shows that there are many wild beasts in this forest. ”

Koharu said, "It's also possible that these traps are humanoid, and maybe there are still a lot of people living in this forest." ”

Han Xue thought about it, both were possible.

However, when they walked all the way just now, they did not find any wild beasts, not even small animals, and only a few birds flew by in the forest.

This time, their purpose is to find Wheat and Zhoutong, no matter how dangerous it is, everyone still has to move forward.

After resting for an hour, Han Xuening asked everyone to continue on their way.

There is only one road in front of the whole open space, and you don't have to choose.

After bypassing the trap in front of the road, Lin Ziming and Xiao Xia continued to explore the path at the front, while Han Xuening and the others followed.

Everyone walked along the forest path for more than an hour, and no traps were found along the way.

Suddenly, Han Xuening felt something behind them and was approaching them quickly, she immediately shouted, "Everyone be careful, there seems to be something following us behind." ”
