Ji Yan, Mei Yuning, and Sun Dayong found a vacant lot in the middle of the courtyard and lined up, and bowed to the body of Chen Laohan in the house.

The three of them left Chen Laohan's house lightly, carefully closed the courtyard door, and bowed again to the courtyard, then turned around and galloped quickly, running towards the mountain road where they came.

At this time, it was almost dark, the clouds were thick and the wind was light, basically there was no light, the road conditions were still muddy and difficult to walk, and it was not very efficient to catch up with the road.

This situation is not all bad, and there is also a benefit, that is, there are intermittent footprints on the ground that can be traced.

The group of people who committed the crime did not necessarily know the existence of Ji Yan and the other three, and even if they knew, they did not necessarily think that they would take the initiative to chase the murderer and avenge Chen Laohan and others.

So they walked very directly and openly, and probably didn't think about covering up their footprints or something.

But although the three of them tried their best to move forward, the progress of the journey was not very fast.

In addition to the difficulty of walking on the road and the poor sight of chasing the murderer at night, there is also a very important reason, that is, they are too wild when they climb the mountain during the day.

At that time, no one could have imagined that this would happen later, so at that time, my son only took climbing the mountain as exercise, but he just came home from the mountain, and he didn't eat, and now he needs to travel long distances overnight.

Ji Yan has a feeling of "I don't know how precious gold is when I am young, and I cry when I look at X when I am old".

Mei Yuning and Sun Dayong are okay, both of them have the experience of solving cases everywhere, and they are both martial arts practitioners, so their legs and feet are light and their endurance is also good.

Although Ji Yan's innate physical fitness is not bad, he usually patronizes eating, drinking and having fun, and rarely exercises.

When he didn't encounter anything, he couldn't show it, and the current situation was really a bit difficult for him.

After traveling for about an hour, Ji Yan's calves seemed to be filled with lead, and he also felt a little sleepy and hungry......

began to see Chen Laohan's father and daughter and Chen Sihan's team of three people killed with a kind face, these good people suffered accidents, which deeply stimulated Ji Yan.

He was filled with righteous indignation, full of anger all over his body, and seemed to have infinite strength, and these were true.

Now as an ordinary human, his body has physical limits, and this is also true.

Ji Yan can only regret to say that he has not awakened his spiritual power like the people in other stories, otherwise wouldn't it be easy to get on the road?

However, although Ji Yan was tired and sleepy, Mei Yuning and Sun Dayong didn't say anything, but he was embarrassed to take the initiative to rest.

After all, this matter was also decided by him as a leader, and Sun Dayong, who didn't quite agree, hadn't said anything at this time, and it would be a bit embarrassing for him to be discouraged first.

After walking for a while, I watched as the footprints they followed became clearer and more obvious.

Sun Dayong noticed Ji Yan's state, so he proposed: "Why don't we take a rest first, we are basically not idle this day, I estimate that this group of people is not far from us, take a rest first, in case of encounter, we may not be opponents in our current state." ”

Ji Yan gasped for breath, hunched his waist, put his hands on his legs and knees, looked at Sun Dayong, and then looked at Mei Yuning and said: "I think it's okay, let's take a little rest, they shouldn't be in a hurry day and night, it's already late at night, and they're about to rest." ”

Mei Yuning was actually a little tired, so she didn't have anything to say.

The three of them sat together, eating and drinking quietly.

Ji Yan didn't chat either, mainly because it was not too far away.

After eating, Mei Yuning seemed to recover quickly, she saw that Ji Yan and Sun Dayong were still panting, their faces were pale, and she whispered: "I'll go to the front to explore the way first, and you two continue."

Ji Yan instructed again: "Be careful, you can shout in case of a situation." ”

Mei Yuning looked at Ji Yan, raised her pretty face, pursed her lips and chuckled, made a gesture and set off.

However, after a stick of incense, Mei Yuning is still gone.

The thick clouds moved rapidly in the sky, and occasionally the moon could be seen leaking out for a while, illuminating Ji Yan's uneasy face, and from time to time, a few stars could be seen scattered in the sky.

All I could hear was the breeze blowing through the trees, and the chirping of cicadas and insects.

Such an environment makes people feel gloomy and depressing, and Ji Yan's heart can't help but become more anxious.

However, it is not convenient for the two of them to take the initiative to find it, one is that it is extremely difficult to find someone in this dark and silent night, and the other is that if they go to find Mei Yuning, if Mei Yuning comes back, wouldn't they just miss it?

So Ji Yan could only be in a hurry in the same place, and Sun Dayong didn't know any other good way, so he didn't say anything, just leaned against a big tree and closed his eyes to recuperate.

After a while, Mei Yuning finally crept back, and Ji Yan let out a long breath when she saw that she was safe and sound.

Mei Yuning found an open space and sat down, and said with a smile: "I found them, just in front of us, about half a pillar of incense kung fu can be walked, I see that they are still on fire, I guess they will not continue to rush tonight." ”

After speaking, she looked at Sun Dayong again and said: "One of them did have an injured leg, and he didn't do anything to treat the bandage, so he didn't walk fast, and in addition, I heard them arguing." ”

Knowing that the person they were chasing was in front of them and had already rested, Ji Yan and Sun Dayong were also relieved and not so anxious.

The three of them just sat around and talked.

Ji Yan followed Mei Yuning's words and asked, "What are they arguing about?" Is the spoils unevenly divided? ”

Mei Yuning shook her head, as if thinking about something: "It's not like that, I don't dare to follow them closely, so I eavesdropped on them several feet away." ”

While trying to remember, she said slowly: "I heard a person, his voice is a little old, maybe the leader of the team, scolding a person, saying that he shouldn't listen to him, he killed someone now, and he will never be able to dig fragrant wood in the future, and he is so tired that he has to run away." ”

Ji Yan sneered: "Now that you know that you regret it?" ”

Mei Yuning looked at Ji Yan and continued: "After the scolding man finished speaking, he heard a young man, who felt that he was less than twenty years old, and a really young voice retorted a few words, saying that he was just putting forward an opinion, and he didn't want to watch his brothers return empty-handed, and then ......."

Ji Yan and Sun Dayong asked in unison, "What did you say again?" ”

Mei Yuning said with a smile: "No one knows what the young man wants to say, because the old voice directly slapped him, and scolded you for closing your dog's mouth, the new one, the slap was quite loud, and no one spoke after the beating." I waited a little longer, confirmed that they were supposed to be resting, and then came back. ”
