Carpenter Li said to Shi Suo, "We have licorice at home. So he sent a young man back to the village to get it.

Here, Su Shichang comforted the child and said, "Don't worry, let's look for it again." ”

One house after another, I almost searched all over the house, but I couldn't find the owner of this place, Su Shilong. There was no trace of Ling Haibo and others, and everyone understood that the robbers must have sensed the danger of the situation, so the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, kidnapped the owner and escaped. The villagers scolded angrily, and the little boy said with a crying voice: "Second uncle, let's chase after it, they must have run outside." ”

"Okay," Su Shichang quickly arranged, let Shi Suo take a few people to stay here to treat the injured, and the rest to chase after him, Li Carpenter was careful, and asked Xiao Wu to take his big dog to Ling Haibo's room to sniff for a while, Xiao Wu patted the dog's head, "Brother, take us to catch the people in this house." Others don't know if the dog can understand Xiao Wu's words, but now that the situation is urgent, they all hope that the dog can help people find the traces of the enemy.

The two dogs stuck out their tongues, ran out of Ling Haibo's house, and went straight to the gate, everyone was happy in their hearts, it seemed that the enemy had indeed run away.

The crowd swarmed out of the gate with knives, guns and weapons, but the two dogs did not go up the road in front of the door, but turned a corner, went around the village, and ran straight behind.

From the osmanthus villa to the outside, there is only one road, which leads directly to the mountain pass in front, and if the enemy escapes, he can only move forward along the main road. Run backwards, even if you climb the mountain, you must not go out. Su Shichang and the others are all locals, very familiar with geography, seeing the dog's actions, they are very puzzled, if the enemy goes to the back mountain, it is a dead end, Xiao Wu looked at the mountain peaks in the distance, and joked: "Didn't they run away and go to climb the mountain to play?" ”

Jokes aside, the actions of these two dogs cannot be ignored, Su Shichang decided to divide the troops into two more ways, Xiao Wu, Da Gang and others followed the dogs to the back mountain to search, and the team continued to chase forward.

Xiao Wu took a dozen people, followed by two big dogs, and went around the village, behind which was the undulating hillside, and the sound of gurgling water, the stream between the two villages, appeared in front of him.

The big dog ran along the stream and up the hillside.

Da Gang asked Xiao Wu as he ran: "When you get to the mountain, can you go out?" ”

"No, the mountain outside our village is like a bowl, and when you climb to the top, you can't go down, you can only come back."

However, the big dog did not hesitate, and ran up the hillside along the stream, and the stream flowed down from the mountain, all the way through the rocks and grass, and the water flow was clear, and when it met the slope, it formed a small waterfall, making the mountain scenery more beautiful and pleasant.

The grass and trees on the mountain are verdant, climb all the way, the terrain is becoming more and more complicated, between the ditch slopes and cliffs, sometimes there is a dense forest cover, if it is a Tibetan, it is quite easy, is it that the bandits climbed to the mountain to hide? Everyone was full of doubts, and followed the two dogs and gradually went up to the mountainside.

"There's blood here." Suddenly, a young man shouted.

Sure enough, on a mountain rock by the stream, there were a few drops of blood, looking at the color of the blood, it was newly left, and it had not yet dried up, Xiao Wu and the others became excited, it seems that there is no problem with the big dog's sense of smell, there must be a situation ahead.

"Wang, Wang," the big dog barked at a dark cave in front of him.

It was a cave more than a man high, and the water from the brook flowed out of the hole. This is quite common in the south, where the mountains and rivers merge into the belly of the mountains to form dark rivers, which sometimes travel dozens of miles through the mountains, and then flow out of the mountains to form rivers on the ground.

But there is water flowing out of the cave, often extremely dangerous, generally difficult to enter, and everyone did not bring wading equipment, but look at the dog's demeanor, there must be a problem in the cave, Xiao Wu is quite experienced in drilling mountains, commanded a few young people from the woods next to them to break some dead branches, ready to be used as torches, and then followed the dog, to the cave.

"Wait for me." There was a shout from behind, but it was Shi Suo, who and two young people from the village had prepared medicine with licorice water, and handed it over to others to feed the unconscious people, and he hurriedly ran out of the village and chased after him.

"Quick, there's got to be something weird in the hole." Xiao Wu handed Shi Suo a twig. At this time, the big dog was already in the cave and barked again. Stone Lock hurriedly followed the others and walked into the cave.

The cave is quite spacious, the water flows out of it, the air is very humid, although it is summer, it is cold, the water droplets on the cave wall, go straight down, the ground, it is also very slippery, walk a few steps, you have to fall, a dozen young people are cautious, one after the other, lined up in a row, to touch the hole.

The stream is bubbling and flowing beside it, although the water flow is not deep, but there is a pool in the hole, the air conditioning is dense, how deep it is, no one knows, everyone walked forward dozens of steps away, with the water turned a corner, the vision was darkened, Xiao Wu lit a torch and warned everyone: "Be careful, your feet slide, follow my footprints." ”

Stone lock has experience in caving, and smoked the cave wall with torches along the way, made marks, and told everyone to remember the terrain inside in case they get lost. The further you go in, the more eerie it becomes, and the sound of rushing water also seems a little peculiar and dull. When people speak in the cave, they make a burst of echoes.

The two big dogs ran in front and couldn't stop barking, Xiao Wu said excitedly: "It must be in front, my dog is very clever, and he never barks." ”

The cave was dark and winding, and soon it was impossible to distinguish the direction, and the water gushed out of the hole, but the direction from which the water came gradually narrowed, and it was no longer possible for people to enter unless they dived. Next to it, there is also a branch hole, which leads diagonally upwards.

There is a stone ridge at the branch hole, there is a person to be high, unusually slippery, the big dog jumped twice, all fell down, Xiao Wu and Shi Suo hugged the dog up, and then Xiao Wu climbed up, but also slipped away, fell down, fell a big horse. Fortunately, the stone lock was pulled and not injured.

"Obedient, as slippery as a catfish." Xiao Wu was about to stand up, but he touched something in his hand. When I picked it up, it was a shoe.

This is a black cloth shoe, a round dress, although it is covered with mud and water, but it can be seen that it is a "high-class" shoe, and only the rich can afford to wear it. Xiao Wu shouted: "One shoe, whose shoe?" Is it Scholasz's? ”

The boy is not here, and others can't tell whose shoes it is, but since someone else left the shoes here, it shows that the pursuit is in the right direction, and the enemy must have fled from here.

The stone ridge in front of me is unusually slippery, and it seems that a person accidentally dropped a shoe when he climbed up from here. Shi Suo supported Xiao Wu by the waist and legs, helped him climb up the stone ridge, and then Xiao Wu pulled on it, and everyone helped each other and climbed up one by one. (To be continued.) )
