Chapter Seventy-Nine: Searching for Traces
"Is this Dongping Mountain?"
Zong Jiyuan asked as he observed his surroundings.
Wang Yu nodded and said,
"Yes, some time ago, in order to inquire about the whereabouts of Ming Qimeng, I came to this mountain under the guidance of the villagers, but I didn't enter the mountain from here at that time, so I can't say the specific direction."
"Then what should I do, if I really let that kid escape, it won't be easy."
said that it was not easy to do, but Zong Jiyuan's face did not show a trace of sadness.
Wang Yu turned his head to look at her and said,
"In my opinion, he will chase down this mountain road, after all, he is also on a horse, and he can't suddenly climb to the mountain, after all, he still has to walk on flat ground."
"That's right,"
Zong Jiyuan immediately nodded in agreement,
"Let's do it, just be a little more careful, in case someone sets up an ambush, it's better to be mentally prepared."
"Well, let's go."
Since they were of the same opinion, there was no need to say more, and the two shook the reins and chased down the narrow mountain path.
The further they went, the more the mountains appeared, and fortunately they had gone a long way without any unexpected disturbances, but when they had been chasing a long distance, the mountain road had split into two branches.
At this time, at some point, a gust of mountain wind blew unscrupulously from between the two mountains in front of him, making people instantly lose the feeling that it was the height of summer, but it was also this gust of wind that sent the message that Zong Jiyuan wanted to hear.
It was the sound of a horse's hooves running on the ground, and it wasn't so chaotic that it could be concluded that there was only one—
Zong Jiyuan pointed to the fork in the road on the left with a soft whip,
"This is the way this way."
"Okay, I trust your judgment."
Wang Yu also did not have the slightest objection, and turned the horse's head with Zong Jiyuan, and galloped away in the determined direction.
Walking along the narrow mountain road on the left, the distance out was not very far, and the front began to gradually become wider, and after a little more rush, the back of the guy named Xiao Ha'er appeared in the sight of the two.
This time I will definitely not let him escape again-
Zong Jiyuan and Wang Yu had this idea in their minds at the same time, and they coincidentally rode their horses and whipped up and chased after them at a faster speed.
Xiao Ha'er, who had obviously slowed down, suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him again, and hurriedly looked back, but saw the two people who were still tracking him on the way, and couldn't help but wonder, what did they want to do? The more I couldn't figure it out, the more scared I was in my heart, and I didn't have time to think about it anymore, so I urged the horse to flee in a panic.
In this way, you chased after me, and saw a forest in front of you, and the little Harr got into the woods and disappeared.
It's this kind of situation again, "I'm in the light, and the enemy is in the dark", but Zong Jiyuan only thought about it for a while, and then followed up with Lin Zi without hesitation.
The forest is so large that it is dark and gloomy, and the trunks of the trees are so dark that it is impossible to find a way out, and more importantly, you can only hear the clatter of hooves and echo around, but you can't tell where the person to be tracked is.
"How can this be a good ......?"
Although he is very intelligent, Zong Jiyuan is still only a young man after all, and he never knew that this would be the case in the forest, so he couldn't help but be a little worried and talk to himself.
Wang Yu looked at her and comforted,
"It doesn't matter, as long as someone passes by here, they will definitely leave traces, not to mention, that kid is still riding a horse, and the target is big, and there are more things he has encountered."
As he spoke, his eyes searched up and down, left and right, and suddenly he found something, and immediately jumped off his horse, leaned down to look for something, and then raised his head and looked forward.
Zong Jiyuan looked very interested and asked,
"How's it going, did you find anything?"
"I found it, there are horseshoe prints here, and I went in that direction."
Wang Yu stood up and led his horse, but did not ride it, but walked forward on foot while observing and walking, and said,
"Follow me."
"Oh, yes."
Zong Jiyuan urged his mount to follow him, and asked curiously as he walked slowly,
"Brother Wang Yu, what are you looking for?"
"Find a newly broken branch,"
Still searching carefully, Wang Yubian replied and explained,
"The little Harr was very frightened when he fled, and must not have had time to pay attention to these details, and in his hurry, there must have been branches and leaves that were unnaturally damaged by his random scratches, and combined with the hoof prints on the ground, we could roughly determine the direction he was running towards."
"Oh, I see."
Listening to his explanation, Zong Jiyuan felt that he had gained more knowledge, and listened to the voice in front of him while following behind him.
Listening attentively and calmly, coupled with her hearing was already different from ordinary people, finally, the sound of horses' hooves, which had always echoed everywhere in the forest, gradually concentrated, and at the same time that Wang Yu straightened up and pointed to the left front, the soft whip in Zong Jiyuan's hand couldn't help but wave there, and the two of them said at the same time,
"There it is!"
As soon as the words fell, the two looked at each other and smiled, Wang Yufei got on the horse, and his spirit was a hundred times more authentic,
"Let's go, we must not be left behind by such a guy!"
The two horses were weaving through the woods, and in a short time the trees began to sparse, and the little sunlight shining on the ground, which had been scarce, began to form patches, and it was possible to feel its heat again.
It's about to get rid of this woods—
From the sound of the horses' hooves, it can be heard that the little Harr did not run very far, in short, it should not be too much of a problem to keep up with him......
However, at this moment, a piercing letter cannon sounded and rushed straight into the air, Wang Yu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, instinctively grabbed the reins, and stopped the horse under the seat.
"Ji Yuan, wait first!"
"What's wrong?"
Zong Jiyuan was very puzzled, in her opinion, didn't someone just set off a letter cannon, this is no different from setting off a firework during the New Year, why is it nervous. However, although she thought so in her heart, since Wang Yu said it, she still stopped obediently.
Seeing that she did what she said, Wang Yu smiled with some relief and said,
"Although I can't say it accurately, the sound just now should be a signal from the gang or a signal for help, and if his companions hear it, they will come from all directions, and in that case, our situation will be dangerous."
"In this way, this little Har is indeed a thief in the East Mountain Valley,"
Zong Jiyuan thought of this,
"In this way, our tracking has not been wasted, and the reason why that guy released the letter cannon is to show that if there is a den of thieves here."
"That's right,"
Wang Yu was still smiling,
"Of course, from another point of view, it's possible that he's bluffing, Ji Yuan, what do you think should be done?"
