Chapter 176: Net

This piece of mountain forest in the south of the city is not small, and sika deer, foxes, and hares can be seen at any time, so it has become a good place for people to hunt.

Now that spring has just begun, I have a deer with three or five friends to enjoy the barbecue, not to mention how happy it is.

In the cold wind, at a glance, the shadows of the mountains and forests are sufficient, and occasionally there is light shining through the darkness.

It was the lantern carried by the people who came to find Feng Jinxi.

At this time, the person looking for someone in the mountains and forests was either a family member of Shangshu Mansion or a friend of Feng Jinxi.

After arranging the two horses, Lu Xuan and Feng Cheng walked into the mountain forest.

At night, the mountains and forests are very cold in this season when the ice and snow have not yet melted. Walking in it, you can hear the whirring wind, and the voice of Feng Jinxi from far and near.

"How did your third uncle disappear?" The boy's voice seemed a little ethereal and cold in the dark forest.

Feng Cheng told what he had heard.

"Uncle Ling has an enemy?" Thinking of the young man with a beautiful appearance and acting out of tune, Lu Xuan intuitively felt impossible.

Master Feng San is like that, if you want to say that it is possible to be beaten up one day, what is the death plan?

Feng Cheng shook his head hesitantly: "My third uncle likes to make friends, has a good temperament, and supposedly will not make enemies with others." ”

Good temperament?

Lu Xuan didn't agree with this.

However, he did not lose sight of words at such a time, but held the lantern to pay attention to the situation around him.

In some places, there are obvious traces of human walking, and there are also animal footprints.

"Whew-"

A wolf howl came from afar, making the hairs stand on end.

Lu Xuan couldn't help but glance at the people walking beside him.

This kind of place, if he hadn't happened to come across it, she was going to come alone?

Before I could figure it out, the words came out.

"If there is such a thing in the future, you can call me along."

Feng Cheng was stunned and nodded: "Okay." ”

But I didn't take it seriously.

She and Lu Xuan live in Shangshu Mansion and Zhuguo Mansion on the other, and it is so troublesome to contact each other, even two pigeons have been sacrificed, and if there is an emergency, it is better to find Lu Xuan than to bring a small fish.

Lu Xuan didn't know that Feng Cheng thought so, and seeing that she agreed obediently, he put all his energy into finding the surrounding anomalies.

"Is it possible that Uncle Ling will say goodbye without saying goodbye?"

"Impossible." Feng Cheng did not hesitate to deny, "Don't say that my third uncle is a good friend and moral, but as long as a normal person eats barbecue in the mountains and forests with his friends, he won't leave without saying a word." ”

"It's an emergency, or someone attacked him and took him away, or he saw a man or beast that could lead him away." Lu Xuan watched as he walked, analyzing the situation.

"Everything else is possible, but my third uncle will definitely not be led away by the beast." When Feng Cheng said this, his face was full of helplessness.

Although he knew that Lu Xuan was thoughtful, it was too thoughtful.

Lu Xuan glanced at her: "That's not necessarily, if you see a rare prey like a white fox, you may want to hunt it and show off in front of your friends." ”

This is also human nature.

Feng Cheng hurriedly waved his hand: "My third uncle is not this kind of person, he would rather hunt a rabbit and roast it and eat it." ”

Lu Xuan's eyebrows raised slightly.

This is really a real uncle and nephew.

"Lu Xuan, if you see the white fox, will you chase it?"

"No, it won't." Lu Xuan gritted his teeth and squeezed out two words.

Who is he insulting, he is the kind of person who loves to show off?

At this moment, the young man suddenly realized one point: in Feng Cheng's heart, maybe he not only did not have the high status of the fat cat, but also did not have the high status of her third uncle......

This realization made Lu Xuan even more energetic to find out Feng Jinxi.

Let Feng Cheng see, an uncle who can disappear if he goes to Xiaojie can't ask for it at all.

The sound of unknown birds suddenly sounded, and in the dark forest, it was creepy.

Lu Xuan stopped, squatted down, and reached out to grope on the ground.

"What's wrong?"

"Help me pick up the lights." A hand stretched out and brought the lamp to Feng Cheng.

Feng Cheng took the lamp and shone it on the ground.

The snow had not yet disappeared, and the dead branches and leaves were mixed with the snow, making it damp and dirty.

She couldn't see anything for a moment.

"Here, there's an indentation." Lu Xuan pointed somewhere, stood up, and looked up.

There were no stars or moon in the sky, and the tall trees gathered the faint light in this place

By the dim light, Lu Xuan looked up for a while, and suddenly jumped and hugged the trunk.

"Lu Xuan?"

"Wait a minute." A calm voice came from above.

Feng Cheng didn't know why, so he had to hold the lamp high so that he could see clearly.

After a while, Lu Xuan jumped down.

There was a height from the tree to the ground, but the boy landed silently.

"Look." He showed Feng Cheng what he had found.

It was a piece of string.

"This isβ€”" Feng Cheng reached out and took it, twisting the string.

"It should be a net." In the night, the young man's eyebrows and eyes were calm, and he didn't show much excitement because of this discovery, "Judging from the traces on the ground, Uncle Ling is likely to be caught in a net and hung to a tree." ”

Feng Cheng felt unreasonable: "If that's the case, won't he call for help?" ”

"Maybe it's the loss of the ability to call for help." Lu Xuan analyzed.

Feng Cheng's face turned pale, and she couldn't help but be glad that she knew that the third uncle was fine, otherwise she would have cried when she heard Lu Xuan say this.

"If the third uncle hangs on the tree, those friends won't find out?"

Lu Xuan raised his finger and pointed: "There are all towering trees here, and the light in the forest is not good, look at this height, if you don't happen to look up, who would have thought that there were people on it?" ”

Feng Cheng couldn't help but nodded.

There is such a possibility, and the so-called dark under the lamp is like this.

"It should have been relieved before those people left the mountains and forests, and the people from Shangshu Mansion didn't arrive here." Lu Xuan frowned, "If Uncle Ling really fell into this trap, he would definitely not have escaped by himself, otherwise he would have been able to meet the people who came to look for him." ”

"You mean someone untied the net and took the third uncle away?"

"The premise is that it is Uncle Ling who is caught in the net. This kind of net is generally used to trap wild beasts, maybe a deer or a pig caught today. ”

Feng Cheng glanced at Lu Xuan deeply.

If it weren't for the other party's serious expression, she suspected that he was burying the third uncle.

Lu Xuan's tone changed: "But I still tend to your third uncle, after all, a big living person can't disappear for no reason." ”

"Lu Xuan."

In the night, the eyes of a girl dressed in men's clothes were bright: "Who do you think will take away my third uncle?" ”

Lu Xuan's gaze was forward, and there were only tall trees and boundless darkness in his line of sight.

"Nine times out of ten, it's the nearby Orion."

"I don't know if it's a male hunter or a female hunter." Feng Cheng muttered, frowning slightly.

Lu Xuan: ?

After a moment's pause, he said in a casual tone: "Of course, most of the Orions are men. ”

Feng Cheng still frowned: "I don't know if the Orion family has a beautiful little lady." ”

Lu Xuan: ?

This time it took longer, and the young man finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Feng Cheng, is this what you care about?" ”

Shouldn't she be worried about whether her third uncle is dead or alive?
