The air was a little humid in the morning, and after Tang Zhou and the others got up, they finished breakfast and entered the Bird and Mouse Mountain together. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
When they came to Linzhou, they walked through Bird and Mouse Mountain, but that road was a big road that had existed before, and although no one had walked it for a long time, some people still remembered it.
However, Tang Zhou and the others wanted to figure out the situation in the Bird and Mouse Mountain, so naturally they would not take such a road again, and after they entered the Bird and Mouse Mountain, they directly entered the hinterland of the Bird and Mouse Mountain.
The hinterland is very deep, with all kinds of trees and shrubs, and occasionally there are all kinds of small animals scurrying around in it, which is a bit scary, Princess Wencheng was frightened by these small animals that suddenly came out several times, and she was so frightened that she threw herself into Tang Zhou's arms several times.
But when she got used to it, she became calmer.
They walked into the hinterland for a long time, but found nothing, except for all kinds of plants and trees, and then animals, and did not find anything suspicious.
After walking for a long time, everyone was a little sleepy, so they found an open space and made a fire to barbecue meat.
After the fire was lit, strings of wild meat were put on the fire, constantly roasted, and then some special things made by Tang Zhou were added, which made these wild meat fragrant.
After the game was roasted, everyone shared it to eat, and when Ma Qing took a rabbit leg and was about to gnaw it, he suddenly saw a pair of eyes looking at him in the jungle in the distance, which scared Ma Qing into a cold sweat.
However, Ma Qing followed Tang Zhou in the end, much calmer than before, after he was startled, he suddenly flew towards the jungle in the distance, he believed that with his light skills, he would definitely be able to catch up with the person hiding in the jungle.
Ma Qing rushed away, everyone was immediately alert, and then more than a dozen people immediately followed Ma Qing and chased after him.
And at this time, the jungle also suddenly flickered, and the eyes disappeared without a trace, and then, the bird in the jungle was startled, the leaves shook, and Ma Qing chased in the direction where the bird was startled.
But after chasing half a pillar of incense like this, he suddenly couldn't find a trace, which made Ma Qing stunned enough, he thought that he had done a good job, how could that person run faster than him?
Tang Zhou rushed over with someone: "Did you find anything?" ”
Ma Qing shook his head: "Little Hou Ye, I chased here and disappeared." ”
Tang Zhou looked around, there were still all kinds of grass and trees around, but the grass and trees here obviously had more traces of being climbed than the grass and trees in other places, and there was grass growing on the ground, and it was impossible to find footprints, but at this time, Tang Zhou suddenly heard the sound of a stream.
In this mountain of birds and rats, there is a stream.
When Tang Zhou found out about this, he immediately became excited, and said: "Go and find that stream, live here, it is definitely not possible to lack water, where there is water, there must be traces of life." ”
Water is the source of life, and where there is water, there are people.
After Ma Qing and the others heard Tang Zhou's order, they didn't hesitate anymore and immediately went to find the location of the stream.
Soon, they found the stream.
The stream flowed down from a cliff, and all kinds of plants and trees grew around the cliff, making the rags in the distance look like a beautiful landscape painting, and Tang Zhou searched along the stream, hoping to find some traces that would be useful to them.
But as they searched along the stream, a pile of white bones suddenly stood in front of them.
It was a very conspicuous pile of white bones, piled under a tree by the stream, accumulating white bones, like winter snow, giving people a cold to the bone.
After seeing the pile of white bones, Princess Wencheng immediately closed her eyes in fright, she is a princess, when has she ever seen such a scene?
But Tang Zhou walked over very calmly, he walked over to take a look, and then counted, he found that in this pair of white bones, there were a total of sixteen heads, which means that sixteen people had died here.
Who are they, and how can they die?
Is there really a ghost here?
Tang Zhou's eyebrows condensed slightly, and then he said, "Continue to search." ”
They continued along the creek until they reached the end of the creek, and they did not find any more suspicious clues.
As night fell, Tang Zhou held his chin, he couldn't understand why there were white bones here, and who was the person who had been monitoring them, and where was he hiding?
If that person wants to survive, he will definitely come to fetch water, but this stream is too long, and they don't have so many people to guard such a long stream, how can they lure that person out again?
The things in the mountains were simple, and what they could eat was still game, as well as some dry food and water they brought when they came, and just when the smell of game wafted over, Tang Zhou suddenly understood something, the person who had been monitoring them should have been attracted by these scents, so could they use these scents to lure him out?
After having this idea, Tang Zhou immediately called Ma Qing and Li Hu over, and whispered to them about his plan, and both of them agreed after listening to it.
The night was getting darker, and it was the second night they had left Linzhou City.
Princess Wencheng was still sitting next to Tang Zhou, in such a place, she couldn't sleep at all without following Tang Zhou.
"Little Hou Ye, what did you say to Li Hu and Ma Qing?"
"I'm going to let them set a trap tomorrow and lure the guy who has been watching us in."
Princess Wencheng smiled: "Is it useful, I see that person is very athletic." ”
"Of course it works, since it's a trap, as long as that person dares to come, he will definitely be captured."
Princess Wencheng nodded: "Little Marquis, then who do you say that person is, will he really be a demon as rumored?" ”
"Does Her Royal Highness also believe that there are ghosts in this world?"
"I've read a lot of "Liao Zhai" you wrote before, don't you believe that there are ghosts in the world?"
Tang Zhou shrugged: "Of course I don't believe that there are ghosts in this world. ”
"Then who do you say that person is, and will he be more terrible than a ghost?"
Who that person is Tang Zhou doesn't know, but can people be more terrible than ghosts, I'm afraid that sometimes it's like this, unknown things are terrible.
Princess Wencheng asked a lot of questions, Tang Zhou took the trouble to chat with her, and while the two of them were chatting, in Linzhou City, Ma Danian was walking around his room anxiously.
Soon, Ma Danian's door opened, and a person walked out, Ma Danian saw this person and hurriedly asked, "How is it, princess, do they have any news?" ”
"My lord, Her Royal Highness the princess and the little marquis, they have been entering the Bird and Mouse Mountain for a day."
"Did you find anything?"
"Not yet."
With sweat running down his forehead, Ma Danian stretched out his sleeve to wipe it, and then walked anxiously around the room again.
"Send someone into the Bird and Mouse Mountain to pick up Her Royal Highness the Princess and the little marquis, and let them come back quickly, what is there to explore in that kind of place, they are really ......"
