Chapter 545: Tracking All the Way

"Captain, Lord Meng, what do you see?"

Huang Yibiao stepped forward with a cloth corner in his hand and said excitedly.

"She's really coming down this way!" Seeing the torn corners of the cloth, and at a glance, he knew that it was the silk fabric worn by a woman, Liang Song was also very excited.

"Bring the hemp rope!"

"Yes."

"Lord Meng, for the sake of safety, my people will go first, and you and Father-in-law Xi will be behind, how about it?" Liang Songjian yƬ road.

"Yes, be on guard when you get down there." Meng Yan nodded, "Village Elder, have you ever been under this cliff?" ā€

"Yes, big lord, the villain has been here, the bottom of this cliff is called the Guillotine Valley, there is a distance of about fifty or sixty long, extending down, there is a distance of about twenty or thirty zhang on both sides, every time it is the time of the spring flood, the water will pass under the ......."

"Is that so, is it easy to climb on the other side?"

"Master, it's almost the same as here, but there is a gentle slope on the opposite side, which can be climbed, but there is no road, and our hunters in Li Zhuang basically go around when they get here." Li honestly explained.

"Later, the village elder will follow the official, be careful, dog leftover, you take care of the village elder, it's quite clear?"

"Hear me clearly, sir!"

The torch was lit, and as the first person descended the rope, the person on the cliff could roughly see what was going on below.

It's not too deep, but it's very steep, and if you don't have rope protection, if you go down like this, no one knows which stone is solid, and if you step on the air, you will fall down, even if you have to break your hands and feet.

If the first one goes down safely, the people below will be much better, and soon, half of the people on the ground will go down.

"Lord Meng. You and your father-in-law will go down first, and then you will go down! Liang Song said.

"Hmm." Meng Yan nodded, the first to go down were Liang Song's people, and his relationship with Liang Song was not so harmonious, if he went down, there would be Liang Song's people below. It will inevitably make him think more.

Now he stays on top, let him go down first, and the crowd below is leaderless, and they won't do anything to him.

Liang Song's posture showed that he didn't have any bad intentions, so please rest assured that he would go down boldly.

Of course, even if Liang Song had any thoughts, Meng Yan would not be afraid, this trip would not have been too peaceful, he was not unprepared.

"Your Excellency. I'll do it first! Guo Xiaochao grabbed the rope and jumped down for the first time.

Subsequently, Meng Yan also grabbed the rope and went all the way down.

If there is no rope, it is really quite dangerous to come down from it with your bare hands, and every time you step on the cliff wall, there will be loose stones rolling down, and the sound is terrifying.

Subsequently, the eunuch Xining and the village elder Li Laoshi and others also came down. Liang Song himself was the last to come down.

"Liang Song, count the number of people. Make sure there are no injuries or missing personnel. Meng Yan ordered.

The number of people was quickly counted, there were a lot of them, but a few people scratched their arms and legs in many places when they came down, all of them were skin injuries, some bleeding, and the bleeding stopped after using the wound medicine. It does not affect the action.

"Huang Yibiao, look for it, are there any clues, we can't spend the night in the ravine under this cliff, right?"

"Yes!"

Look for traces at night, even if there are torches. That's not easy, not to mention that the cliff is full of hard objects such as stones, even if it leaves traces, it is extremely difficult to find, unlike in the grass, walking over, it will inevitably leave traces of grass and trees bending, not natural breaking or trampling, if you look carefully, you can always find it.

"My lord, Mrs. Tang should have come down from the position of seven or eight feet south in the direction we just came down, in order not to destroy the traces she left, we chose the location to the north a little, now we are looking for her next direction, north or south, but the villain is not very familiar with the terrain below the Ya, can you ask the village elder, which direction is the nearest gentle slope?" Huang Yibiao said.

"South, about three or four hundred miles to the south, there is a gentle slope over there that you can go up!"

"Village Elder, is it possible for her to walk out along this canyon?" Guo Xiaochao asked.

"If you go along the canyon, you're going into the mountains, and there are no villages at all along the way."

"Can you get out?"

"I haven't walked it, I don't know!"

"A woman, with a child, how long can her body support her to walk, and also, does she know that from this side, over the mountain, is Beimazhuang?" Meng Yan asked.

Everyone was silent, this question is really difficult to answer, once you chase the wrong direction, it will be the opposite direction.

"It's a pity that Qiu Niang is not here, otherwise you can ask if the other party asked her for directions."

"Let's take a rest first, eat some dry food and drink water, Liang Song, order people to be on guard all around, let's discuss, what to do next!" Meng Yan, as the supreme commander of this team, has the right to make such a decision at this time.

Everyone has walked such a long way, and they are all tired and hungry, so it is also appropriate to take a break for a while, eat something to satisfy their hunger, and replenish their body.

"When the dew is heavy at night, give the brothers some wine to ward off the cold, not too much, two mouthfuls for one person is almost enough."

"Lord Xie Meng!"

There is no shortage of firewood in the mountains and forests, and if you cut some casually, it is almost enough, and the fire that is lit can not only keep warm, but also prevent wolves.

Wolves are afraid of fire, so as long as there is fire, wolves will avoid it.

Everyone gathered around the fire, roasted the dry food and ate it, drank the sweet spring water, and quietly waited for the results of the survey team led by Huang Yibiao.

That will determine the route they take next.

Huang Yibiao and the two people had already walked a long way forward along the traces he found, except for the torches that kept fluttering forward, the people were invisible.

Guo Xiaochao took out the big gun, draped it on Meng Yan and said, "My lord, it's cool at night, you be careful." ā€

"Brother Xiaochao, what about you?" Meng Yan was surprised.

"I'm fine."

"Then what's the matter, you're older than me, and you rarely go into the mountains, I'm different from you, I've long been used to the cold on the desert!" Meng Yan untied the big drums and draped them on Guo Xiaochao's body.

"Adults......" Guo Xiaochao insisted on refusing. was held down by Meng Yan.

"Master Meng, do you still have a big man, give me one?" I didn't feel it when I was walking just now, but now when I stopped and sat down, Xining felt cold and shivered.

"It would have been. However, in order to reduce the burden, except for the necessary dry food and water, the rest of the things were placed in Li Zhuang. Meng Yan said.

"Master Meng, is it really gone?"

"Not really!" Meng Yan snorted.

"My lord, if you don't give Xiao Chao this piece to Grandpa Xi, Xiaochao can still hold on, if this Father-in-law Xi freezes, it won't be good." Guo Xiaochao said.

"If you are willing to give it to him, I have no opinion."

"Thank you, Guo Changsui!" Draped in a thick coat. Xining suddenly felt much warmer, and couldn't help but feel grateful to Guo Xiaochao.

"Goo-Goo......

"Master Meng, Huang Yibiao has sent back the news, he said that he can go, he has found Mrs. Tang's traces, and the direction is right!"

"Let's go, then." Meng Yan got up and said.

"Everyone walks at night, one by one, watching the other, watching their step. If you have something, say hello. Let those in front and behind hear it! ā€

"Yes!"

If it is said to be a gentle slope, it must be sixty or seventy degrees, which is really difficult for ordinary people to go up, not to mention that this is at night.

"Hold on to the rope, be careful, fall down from here. If you don't die, you will end up crippled, you are not my Meng Yan's soldiers, and I will not give you a pension when the time comes! ā€

"Master Meng laughed, ouch!" Xining's distracted speech almost didn't step on the ground. Roll down.

Fortunately, Guo Xiaochao's eyes were quick and he dragged him down, so he didn't fall.

"Guo Changsui, thank you!" Xining is sincerely grateful to Guo Xiaochao, if it weren't for this just now, he would really have to suffer a lot.

"If you don't have that ability, you have to come along, and if you suffer yourself, you will also affect others."

"Master Meng, I'm sorry, our family has dragged everyone down!" Xining's face was flushed, but he still had to be careful to say good things, in this barren mountains and mountains, if Meng Yan had any evil intentions, he would be called heavenly.

As for Liang Song and them, he couldn't count on them.

"Village Elder, which direction are we going?" Finally climbed up, Meng Yan was also sweating, found a stone, made it, and pulled the panting Li Laoshi and asked.

"Although we have taken a lot of detours, the general direction is still towards Beimazhuang." Li Laoshi said lightly hanging his chest.

"Beimazhuang, so this person still went to Beimazhuang?"

"Lord Meng, Mrs. Tang is not familiar with the terrain, and she has taken such a long detour, and there is no other place to go nearby, she also has a child, first of all, she must find a place to stay, Beimazhuang is naturally the most suitable choice!" Liang Song analyzed.

"That's right, if we go directly to Beimazhuang, we won't be guilty of this crime!" Xining complained.

"Father-in-law, but we didn't know the specific direction of Mrs. Tang before." Liang Song explained aggrievedly.

"Forget it, our family doesn't blame you, that's just what you say, you don't have to care." Xining waved his hand.

"Thank you, father-in-law!"

"Master Meng, let's go, in this barren mountain and wilderness, our family doesn't want to stay for a moment." A gust of mountain wind blew, Xining shuddered, and couldn't help but show a trace of dissatisfaction in her eyes.

"Then let's go, before dawn, we may be able to get to Beimazhuang!" Meng Yan couldn't deny it, he originally went straight, turned over the mountain, and walked some more roads to get there, but now it's good, turn south and turn southeast, and then turn back to the northwest.

After sparing such a big circle, you have to climb over three mountains, the mountain roads are rugged, snakes and insects are infested, and you have to be vigilant at all times, which I am afraid that it will not be possible to do without three or five hours.

There are guides, there are also tracking masters, and there are many jungle masters who are hunters among them, and they are all strong young people (except for Li Laoshi and the eunuch Xining), so the speed of this team is not slow.

But for a young woman with a child and exhausted, how difficult is it to walk such a rough road, even in broad daylight?

How did she do it, did she get out of this mountain forest, and now she is not in Beimazhuang, these are all questions. (To be continued......)
