Song Ning asked Wei Tongda: "When you were looking for Lu Zhi at that time, did you go here?" ”

"I went, but I didn't look for it carefully."

"Then let's go now, the weather is not yet awake, just take a trip."

Wei Tongda wanted to refuse, but Zhao Yi agreed, and the group went to the place where the bears were raised.

Xiaotian came out of the woods in the south and startled everyone, and then Qiao Si and the others also appeared.

"My lord, I didn't find it."

Howling up and down and jumping into the forest and barking, the dog was ruthless.

"You didn't turn around all the way, did you?" Song Ning asked Qiao Si.

Qiao Si scratched his head, and Lu Qingqing replied: "Although the left and right sides of the center walk, the direction has not changed. ”

Song Ning sighed and looked back at the way they came up.

"Shut up, wake up the bear, you're his lunch." Song Ning will scare Xiao Tian, Xiao Tian has a nonchalant expression, and walks in the middle of the crowd with his head and tail.

"Sluggish." Song Ning glanced at her and asked Qiao Si, "Is there anything else you have gained?" ”

Qiao Si shook his head: "There are footprints first, but they disappear when they come up." ”

Wei Tongda was puzzled, Song Ning explained it to him, and he looked strange: "Someone came in yesterday to collect firewood?" Then we really don't know. ”

"Missing?"

"I'm not sure yet, I'll check it out when I get out."

Wei Tongda scratched his head: "I'll ask the brothers if anyone has seen it." After a while, Wei Tongda came over with a young guard and explained to Song Ning: "Little Lord Song, he said that when he came to work yesterday, he saw a person fishing over there, but he was in a hurry to send things back to the camp, and wanted to wait for the time to turn back and then bombard people, but when he turned back, he forgot about it, and now he thinks about it, when he comes back, there is no one by the pond, otherwise he will not not remember." ”

Song Ning and Zhao Yi glanced at each other, and Zhao Yi asked, "What time was it?" ”

"It's the end of the day." The little guard replied.

Song Ning was a little surprised, this time was earlier than she had calculated. She asked the little guard, "Do you know what that man looks like?" ”

"Short and thin, skinny kind, wearing a gray cotton jacket, a patch on the back vest, yellow hair, a ...... face" The little guard tilted his head to recall the appearance of the man he saw at that time, "The face is nothing special, I don't remember, I remember that it is very thin and short." ”

"Think about it again, the two princes and Lord Xiao Song are looking for this person." Wei Tongda's face was dark, someone entered the mountain yesterday morning, and they didn't know until now, what if they entered the West Garden?

The little guard also knew the seriousness of the matter, and clenched his fists in hard thought, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and said: "There is a black piece on the back of that person's neck, I took a look at it at the time, and now I think about it, that black should be a skin moss." ”

"Go and find it." Zhao Yi instructed Wei Tongda.

Wei Tongda commanded the little guards, and Song Ning instructed Lou Yang: "You go with them." ”

Lou Yang should have followed him back to the city.

Everyone continued to move forward, which was the flat land where the bears were raised. A cave-like wooden house was built on the edge of a rocky wall at the back, and not far from the wooden house, there was a pond.

The stone wall was so high that it was impossible to walk from where they were now standing, because there was a recess in the middle that was disconnected.

Song Ning kept identifying the direction, she looked at the map, the stone wall in front of her was erected from north to south, and the position where they were standing now was still west.

How to describe it, the depression of this adoptive brother and the maple forest just now are like two shallow bowls side by side, and they are now standing at the mouth of the bowl.

The opposite stone wall is also the mouth of the bowl, but unfortunately they can't walk along the mouth of the bowl to the stone wall with the crack in the middle. If you want to climb this stone wall, you have to go around to the north, that is, to climb up the slope in the east.

"Are you orienting?" Zhao Yi found that since she entered the new coal mountain, she has been constantly identifying the south, south, and north.

Song Ning replied: "I'm used to it, when I feel a little confused when I enter the dense forest, I will keep confirming. ”

Zhao Yi bowed his head and took the map of Wei Tongda.

Wei Tongda pointed down and said, "The bears live here, there were originally three, but one died the year before last, and now there are two more." We're talking about finding another one to make a match, or we'll be extinct in a few more years. ”

Xiaotian had never been so well-behaved, and he shrank beside Song Ning with his tail between his legs, and he didn't say a word.

"Let's go down and have a look." The wind and autumn have said.

Qiao Si said: "I'm also together." ”

Tang Xingye also followed.

The four of them followed Wei Tongda, a total of five people, down the hill.

There was no door in the wooden house, Qiao Si stood outside and glanced at it, and really saw a few bear paws, and the bear was hibernating very quietly. The pond over there is also quiet, and the water is very muddy, and you can hardly see what is in the water.

There's nothing special about the surroundings.

Qiao Si turned around and gestured at Song Ning.

"I'll take a look." Song Ning went down, Zhao Yi also followed her, and she said in a low voice, "Lord Wang, have you been here?" ”

Zhao Yi nodded: "I came once when I was a child, but I didn't see a bear." Tigers have seen. ”

He and Song Ning stopped outside the wooden house to look, and they could indeed see four bear claws.

Song Ning looked at the bear in the house and asked Wei Tongda, "Have you ever seen a bear infested?" ”

"I—I didn't, but when our commander came to deliver the fish earlier, he met a bear from a family of three, but fortunately he wasn't found." Wei Tongda replied.

Song Ning didn't enter the door, but went around to the back of the wooden house, leaning against the stone wall and having nothing.

"Still, are you still watching? Do you want to go somewhere else? Wei Tongda asked Zhao Yi.

Zhao Xi said: "When I came here when I was a child, I remember that there was a cave, is that cave still there?" ”

"Cave, my subordinates don't know, what year did you see the cave, my lord? I heard from my former brothers that one year when the snow fell somewhere, I wonder if it could be the cave you mentioned. ”

Zhao Xi recognized the location, and he couldn't remember where he saw the cave when he was a child.

"Let's walk around." Song Ning shouted to Xiao Tian, Xiao Tian probably felt that there was no danger, shook his head and tail and ran down, and carefully pouted his ass and aimed into the wooden house.

Song Ning pushed it: "Go in and take a look." ”

Xiao Tian glared.

"Take a look, will the missing person be in the bear's house and add chicken legs to your family at noon."

The skin of the dog was shaking, and he gritted his teeth and rubbed the trunk of the tree that connected to the ground to climb up the wooden house. Crawled to the door and peeked inside, but I didn't know if I could see it clearly, and fell to the ground with a bang.

"Let's go, let's add chicken legs at noon." Song Ning beckoned everyone to go, and Xiao Tian rubbed the ground and followed aggrievedly.

While looking at the map, Song Ning followed everyone's path, passed through the location of the "bowl mouth defect", walked towards the west, twisted and turned, and walked the entire mountain.

As Lu Xiaoren said, at that time, they also went into the mountains to look for four times, but found nothing, after four months, Mo said that they found clues to the disappearance of Lu Zhi and Li Chunru, and even the clues of the man who went into the mountains to collect firewood yesterday, they did not find it.

Song Ning stood on the path where Qiao Si and the others were looking for a man to enter the mountain, and there was also a small pile of dry firewood on the road, and it was obvious that the firewood picker had been picking it up, and planned to take it away in a bundle on the return trip later.

"Where did he go?" Song Ning stood in the forest, "Have you encountered danger, why don't you make a sound when you encounter danger?" ”

If a person touches a tiger, even if the person is scared and silent, the tiger will still roar, right?

What's more, these animals have never actually been here, and there have been no cases of animals from New Coal Mountain coming down the mountain into the city.

"Lord Wang, if you go up the mountain to collect firewood, will you go that way when you get here?" I'll send you a question to Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi looked around and pointed to the left: "Here, there is obviously more dry wood than on the right." ”

"There are indeed traces of people stepping on them." Tang Xingye shouted over there, "My lord, look at this stick. ”

He handed over the stick he had picked up, and the broken marks on it were new.

"Qiao Si, find two brothers from Yu Linwei to take you on a trip." Song Ning said.

Qiao Si and a few people from Yu Linwei walked to the left again, and on the left was the direction of the east and the west garden of the palace, but it was only the direction, because it was far away.

They walked around, and found a few broken withered @-vinegar slippery @ branches and new footprints left on the ground, Qiao Si measured the size with the branches, which were about the same size as the footprints on the edge of the pond below.

This means that the man did go into the mountain yesterday.

But where did he go?

"Lord Wang, my lord!" Lou Yang and the little guard came back with people, Lou Yang said, "In the morning, we went to the government office, the city god temple and a few city gates to paste notices, and immediately there was a man who said that he knew a man with skin moss on the back of his neck. ”

"I brought people back." After Lou Yang finished speaking, he asked the man who followed him up the mountain to testify to come to the front.

Song Ning looked at that person, and suddenly looked depressed: "Ma Santong, are you sure you know?" ”

"Lord Wang, my lord, I know you poorly. Poor Dao has been setting up a stall in the City God Temple these days to tell fortunes, this man with black moss on the back of his neck and patches on his cotton jacket vest has been watching us play cards a few days ago, and begging Poor Dao to tell his fortune. ”

"Yesterday morning he said he was going fishing, and we didn't care, we didn't expect anything to happen to him. I only knew that he didn't come to the City God Temple today, and Li Song, who was playing with him, also said that he couldn't find him. ”

"Go to his house." Song Ning said to Tang Xingye and Qiu, "You stay and walk along here with Wei Tongda's people, don't let go of any clues." ”

Autumn should be.

"Is this still a man-eating mountain?" Song Ning was meaningful.
