At ten o'clock in the evening, Wen Qingzhu and the others found a cave to rest.

After picking up the firewood and coming back, before it was lit, Beidou suddenly stood up and stared at the outside vigilantly.

Wen Qingzhu and Lei Shuo suddenly stood up, and their weapons had already been found in their hands.

The sound of rustling was getting closer and closer, but when it was about to reach the entrance of the cave, it suddenly turned around again, and the sound became farther and farther away.

No one slept well that night until it was dark.

In order to avoid extraneous branches, Wen Qingzhu decided not to take the uninhabited path, but directly took the mountain road on the map.

It's autumn, winter in the northwest is early, and the denser the woods, the more dead leaves.

About half an hour later, they reached the mountain path.

There was a shallow layer of fallen leaves on the ground, and Wen Qingzhu walked up a few steps, and saw a little reddish-brown traces on the half-yellow and half-green leaves on both sides of the road.

Wen Qingzhu was very familiar with this trace, reached out and picked a trace of leaves, and after carefully confirming it, he immediately frowned.

"What is this?" Lei Shuo saw that her expression was strange, so he naturally asked.

Wen Qingzhu stepped forward and replied, "It's blood, and it's human blood!" ”

Lei Shuo suddenly opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

After being silent for a long time, Wen Qingzhu made arrangements, Beidou opened the way in front, Lei Shuo walked in the right back, and Wen Qingzhu was in the left back, showing a defensive posture.

The further they went, the more blood stains grew, and the footprints could no longer be hidden.

According to Wen Qingzhu's judgment, the distance between the footprints and the footprints was not a normal person's steps, and the footprints were also large and small, and the direction was not the same, so at least three people rushed through here.

After walking for about two quarters of an hour, Wen Qingzhu saw that there was a falling burden in front of him, and there were things such as gold and silver scattered in it......

Wen Qingzhu picked up these things in the past and carefully identified them, they were made by Dingyuan Gold Bank.

She looked up and found that there was something in front of her, so she hurriedly handed over the burden to Beidou and walked forward quickly.

After a while, he saw a short sword and a pool of dried blood.

Wen Qingzhu wrote down all these carefully and continued to walk forward.

A corpse was soon found, and the head had been cut off.

Judging from this man's clothes, he looked like a merchant from Dingyuan.

"How can there be merchants here?" Wen Qingzhu was puzzled, and directly surpassed them.

It was the first time Lei Shuo went out of the house, and the first time he encountered this kind of thing, he couldn't help but be very scared.

However, she saw that Wen Qingzhu was not afraid, and her face was naturally strong, so that she didn't look afraid.

This time they were much slower.

Around the end of the evening, a man was seen lying by the stream.

Wen Qingzhu immediately went over to check, and several injuries on his body were not fatal, but they failed to stop the bleeding in time, resulting in excessive blood loss and coma.

After hesitating for a while, Wen Qingzhu fed him medicine, and for the sake of insurance, he gave him a small amount of soft tendons.

Feeding water and needles, the man slowly woke up in a few moments.

Seeing two men and one woman, although the dress is common in Dingyuan, he has lived in Dingyuan for almost forty years, and he knows that they are not from Dingyuan.

Suddenly became excited: "Did the three of you save me?" ”

Wen Qingzhu nodded: "Hmm!" I'm a doctor, and I just happened to have medicine on my body, and I saved you. ”

"Thank you, Childe! Thanks a lot! The man hurriedly thanked him, and soon felt weak, but there was almost no pain in the wound.

Wen Qingzhu stood up: "Who are you?" Where did it come from? Where to go? ”

The man hurriedly replied: "My name is Guo Da, a hunter outside Dingyuan City, and I came to this mountain today...... Hunting. ”

Originally, he wanted to tell the truth, but when he thought of it, he couldn't help but hide it.

"Really?" Wen Qingzhu tugged at the corners of his mouth, and asked Beidou to open the burden and throw it in front of him, "There is a dead person in front, the head is gone, I see that he is a businessman, and he is still in the timber business, as for you, ......"

Wen Qingzhu looked up and down at the Guo Da in front of him, and said slowly: "There is a thin layer of cocoons on the tiger's mouth in your right hand, and you do often hold a bow, but there are many fierce beasts and poisonous insects in the mountains and forests here, so if you really want to hunt, you must use a heavy bow, shouldn't the cocoon in your hand be so thin!" I'm guessing you're familiar with this place, and you're going to be a guide for merchants. ”

Before he finished speaking, Guo Da was already drenched in cold sweat, and he couldn't stop wiping his sweat with his hands.

Wen Qingzhu looked around here and debunked him again: "This is the junction of the Xiongnu and Daqi, ordinary businessmen dare not come, it means that you are bringing smugglers!" If you want to go, I'm afraid it's the Huns! ”

"Spare your life! Spare your life! The villain has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai! How dare you deceive adults! Guo Da knelt and begged for mercy while slapping himself.

Wen Qingzhu just looked at it, and waited for him to slap twenty times before he spoke: "You tell me honestly, what are these businessmen doing when they go to the Xiongnu?" How can you be hunted down? ”

Guo Da glanced at Beidou, who was strong but silent, and saw Lei Shuo holding a sword in his hand, no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't be messed with, and finally chose to explain honestly.

"Someone used ten taels of gold to let the villain lead the way, but not to the Huns! It's the place where Fu Jiajun was trapped! ”

Where Fu Jiajun was trapped?

Wen Qingzhu and Lei Shuo glanced at each other, and their hearts became heavier. Xuanshu Literature Network

Wen Qingzhu motioned for him to continue, and Guo Dacai said carefully: "Previously, the Fu family's army got out of trouble by bribing the Xiongnu nobles with a large number of treasures, how could the army fighting carry treasures with them, it must have been found in this mountain!" The villain didn't know the news, but he overheard the two bosses last night. ”

"And then?"

Guo Da had a palpitation: "Later, there was more than one villain who eavesdropped, and the other person was discovered first and was directly killed by Boss Yu's guards!" The villain and the others showed their flaws, and the guard looked at it at the time, of course the villain ran away! After running around for an hour, I met Boss Yu! ”

"Wait! Wasn't it Boss Yu's guards who killed people? Why is he running for his life? Wen Qingzhu felt very strange.

Guo Da explained: "The guard was also invited by Boss Yu!" Boss Yu didn't know why he wanted to kill him, and he couldn't even convince the guard with a thousand taels of gold! Boss Yu escaped under the protection of another guard! We don't know what's wrong. ”

Wen Qingzhu was silent for a long time, feeling that there was something wrong with Boss Yu's guard: "What is the name of that guard, and where did it come from?" ”

Guo Da shook his head: "I don't know what the villain is called, but the villain listens to Boss Yu call him Xiao Wang, where to invite him, the villain is even more unclear." ”

"Then why was Boss Yu killed again? How are you still alive? Wen Qingzhu continued to ask him.

Guo Da patted his chest and said, "The villain decided to take a risk for Boss Yu's money." But I didn't think that in less than an hour we were chased by the little Wang, the villain has been dealing with all kinds of people all year round, and it can be seen that the little Wang will not let go of the villain, so he immediately left Boss Yu to flee, taking advantage of the familiar terrain, although the villain was injured, but he survived. ”

Looking at his expression, Wen Qingzhu was sure that he was not lying.

However, she still felt that it was strange to kill people suddenly, and asked Guo Da: "What is your impression of Xiao Wang?" Has anything changed along the way? ”

"It seems to be ......" Guo Da began to think carefully, and suddenly patted his thigh and said, "I remembered!" The little king squatted and watched for a long time at the well where we first got water, and he didn't talk much before, but then he suddenly chatted with us a few words, asking about the situation at home, and the children or something. ”

asked about the family and children, and Wen Qingzhu felt a very disobedient feeling in his heart.

Do you have to ask the family children before killing?

Thinking of the stone formation of the well, Wen Qingzhu was almost sure that Xiao Wang was afraid that he had found out that the well had been touched and decided to kill people.

Before, they avoided that group of people by mistake because of the path.

Last night's movements, I'm afraid they were hunted down.

Wen Qingzhu looked up at the front: "Get up!" Since you are familiar with this place, then take us to the place where Fu Jiajun is trapped! ”

"Huh?" Guo Da's legs immediately weakened, and he trembled, "Do you really want to go?" It's a place where the army used to be trapped! What's more, that place is already very close to the Huns! Can't you get by, okay? ”

Wen Qingzhu squinted at him: "You can not go, but you know our purpose." The only ones who can keep secrets are the dead. ”

"Go! Go! Villain go! Guo Da's body is still soft, and he hurriedly got up.

Soon he found a stick and supported it to lead the way.

In order to avoid encountering that little Wang, Beidou chose to break off.

Surprisingly, they walked for a day and a night, and they didn't meet anyone.

The soft meridians in Guo Da's body lost their effect, his body could not rest well, and the wound could not be fully healed, which made him more and more uncomfortable.

"Master Xue, what medicine did you give to the villain before, give some more, these wounds on your body are too painful!" Guo Da is an old fritter, and he can see that Wen Qingzhu is actually a good person to get along with.

Wen Qingzhu glanced at him, took the soft tendons and scattered them, and poured a little less for him.

"Is that enough?" Guo Da was a little surprised.

Wen Qingzhu didn't look at him, pointed to the front and said, "That's enough, we have to hurry!" ”

Guo Da had to eat it quickly, the wound was indeed not too painful, but he felt very tired.

But he didn't dare to say anything, and took Wen Qingzhu and them to continue to move forward.

About another day, in the evening, they came to the mouth of a valley.

Guo Da pointed to the front and said, "Xue Ye, after this valley, the front is there!" ”

The sun is setting, and the light is extremely bad.

Wen Qingzhu looked at it at a glance, and saw that there were shadows and shadows, and there was fog inside, which was not very real.

She turned back to Wen Qingzhu Guo Da: "Only this way?" ”

"No, but this one is the fastest, and the other ones are quite long." Guo Da pointed to the left and right of the valley.

Lei Shuo didn't talk much, firstly, because she was worried that she had said the wrong thing, and secondly, she also wanted to learn the experience of acting outside.

She had read a lot of military books, looked at the valley in front of her, and frowned: "Let's take a detour!" ”

Wen Qingzhu looked over and asked her, "What do you think?" ”

"The people of Daqi here dare not come, but it does not mean that the Huns dare not come, this kind of terrain, if you really want to enter, it is a desperate situation!"

After Lei Shuo explained, Guo Da couldn't help but interject: "Miss Lele, you're wrong!" This valley is really safe! Extra safe at night! If you take a detour, it's easier to encounter wolves! ”

"What does Brother Xue think?" Lei Shuo has always been wary of Guo Da and preconceived disbelief, so he turned his head and asked Wen Qingzhu.

This time, Wen Qingzhu agreed with Guo Da's suggestion: "What he said makes sense, I always feel a little familiar with the fog in this valley, especially the smell that wafts over." ”

Wen Qingzhu took a few steps forward and sniffed, there was a breeze in the night, and a very faint fragrance was enveloped in the wind.

It feels a bit like-

"Sky Star Grass!" Wen Qingzhu looked at the front fixedly, looking at the valley, "Ordinary poisonous insects don't like the taste of Tianxing grass, and its taste will be even stronger at night!" It can be used in herbal medicine to dispel poison! ”

She turned her head to look at Lei Shuo: "As for the wolves, they won't appear in such a place with low temperatures, and where there is Tianxing Grass, there may be the fruitless flowers that wolves hate the most!" ”
