Chapter 157
It took two or three days to reach the border of Chen Gezhuang. David said to Murong Feng: "I heard that this is your hometown, you can go home and stay for two days, and then we will go back when I finish my errands." ”
Murong Feng looked at him in surprise and said, "How can I leave my post without permission?" The prince has handed you over to me, and if something happens to you, he will only ask me. ”
David waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "It's okay, I'll do it alone, anyway, can't we find that person, and then we can go back and report to the prince, and there is no obligation to catch him, if we let the person go, we will be reprimanded by the prince, it is better to be quiet." ”
Murong Feng said: "Then I will also follow you, just in case, after all, you don't have any martial arts at all, what if you encounter a situation?" ”
David glanced at him helplessly and said, "If you want to follow, just don't feel bored." Then he took Henry out of the carriage, and told the coachman to find a hidden corner for a moment to stop the carriage, and wait for them, and then they went on foot.
Murong Feng felt that they were swaggering through the market like this, and the target was a little too big, so he said to David: "I think let's go into the village again at night, otherwise even if there is a situation, others will notice it in advance, and we will run away a long time ago." ”
David said: "It's okay, let's take advantage of the morning, we can't see anything clearly at night, it's easy to fall on our heels." ”
Murong Feng almost vomited blood when he heard his words, but when he thought about it, the roads here were indeed not as easy to walk as in the city, and they were dark at night, for a person who didn't know the terrain here, it was indeed quite difficult to find someone at night.
In desperation, he had to protect him in the dark, and David walked around the Zhuangzi generously with one person and one dog, and soon they came to Chu Xiaoxi's house. David looked at the house, took Henry around again, and then asked Henry, "Are you sure you're here?" ”
Henry squealed twice, and then sat down on the ground, saying that he would not stir any more, and that he would not change his judgment again.
Seeing that it was so sure, David nodded, and then went up and knocked on the door.
The old man opened the door and saw a foreigner standing at the door with a dog, and he was stunned there, not knowing how to react for a while.
David took off the hat from his head, bowed to him, and said, "Hello, can I take a tour of this house?" ”
Before the old man could reply, he took out an ingot of ten taels of silver and spread it out in front of him, and said, "I'll just go in and take a look, and I won't bother you for a long time." ”
The old man looked at the ingot of silver, and thought to himself that no one had lived here anyway, so since he wanted to see it, let him take a look! Then he dodged and let them in.
David took Henry around the house, and Henry sniffed with his head down all the way, and at last he came all the way to the bridge, stopped there, and then barked at the river.
David frowned and leaned on the side of the bridge railing, glanced down, and asked, "Are you sure?" ”
Henry screamed twice more for sure.
David scratched his golden curls, and was a little confused for a moment, because according to normal judgment, the person should have thrown himself into the river and died, otherwise, how could the person have disappeared in the river? But how can a good person jump into the river?
However, he had always trusted Henry's judgment, because the dog had never made a mistake, even if he had not performed the same task before, but no matter where he hid it during training, as long as he gave it a clue, it could find it quickly, and it would be foolproof, no matter how hidden he hid it, no matter how much interference he had had.
He believed that Henry's judgment would not be wrong this time, but he needed a boat to find out, and he could not have jumped into the water to catch people himself.
After thinking about it, he called Murong Feng, who jumped out of nowhere and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
David pointed to the bottom of the bridge and said, "That person should be somewhere under the bridge, or he jumped into the river and died, because there is no clue here." ”
Murong Feng glared and asked, "Are you serious?" I don't think that person looked like he had thrown himself into the river casually, how could he be under the bridge? ”
David shrugged his shoulders and said, "I trust Henry's judgment, we need a small boat to go down and look for it, maybe there is a secret passage or something underneath, or maybe a corpse will be fished out, in short, we won't know anything if we don't go down." ”
Hearing what he said, Murong Feng's mind moved, and he felt that there might really be a secret way. However, if the boat is too noisy, it will definitely be noticed, and it is too much time waste, so he said to David, "I am better in the water, so I should dive down and have a look!" So saying, he took off his coat and trousers, and then stabbed him down.
David stood by the bridge and looked at him, saw him swim in the river, groped for a long time, then shook his head at him and said, "There's nothing down there." ”
David frowned and looked at Henry, who had made two anxious turns by the bridge, and then jumped down as well, and it swam up and down in the river for a long time, and the last one was under it, and then it was gone.
When David saw it, he hurriedly asked Murong Feng, "Where is Henry?" How did it disappear? ”
Murong Feng shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know either." ”
David was really anxious this time, he jumped off without taking off his clothes, he fished in the water for a long time, but he didn't catch anything, not even Henry's shadow, after thinking about it, he said to Murong Feng: "It should have found some entrance, and it plunged in, maybe there is really a secret passage or something like that." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he let out an "oops" and disappeared into the river.
Seeing this, Murong Feng's eyes rolled twice, and then immediately jumped down where they had disappeared. After a moment of dizziness, he came to a cave, which was so deep and foggy that it was faintly visible as a culvert, and he saw David lying not far from him, as if unconscious, and Henry was gone.
He couldn't help but shout, "Henry, Henry, where are you?" ”
Henry suddenly rushed out of which cave he didn't know from, and shouted at David vigorously. David was woken up by it, and when he saw that he was all right, he breathed a sigh of relief, got up from the ground, and asked:
