Chapter 71: New Discoveries

"Okay," Duan Ling said, and summoned a few of the guards.

After asking them to change into the clothes they had just prepared, and pretending to be ordinary chaifu and hunters who went up the mountain, they were asked to try it again.

So, Duan Ling and Lin Liang followed from a distance.

Sure enough, it was already the third pole of the sun now, and what Duan Ling ordered around here was that he had to check everyone's information seriously, and he didn't arrange a chair for them to sit on or something.

Now, the average person has been yawning.

When I found a few men dressed in short costumes and very honest-looking men carrying various backpacks and machetes, someone barely raised their eyelids and asked them lazily.

"What village are you from? Why are you dressed like this? ”

"Returning to this adult, the little one is the villagers of the nearby Lotus Village. This is going to go up the mountain to chop wood, this one is my brother, he is a hunter on the mountain, usually by hunting for a living, we plan to go up the mountain together, and please make it convenient for adults. ”

"The adults above have orders, nothing important, don't go." The mayor is also sleepy now.

Fortunately, he is usually not bad, and when Cao Yong was too lazy to answer, he first said a few words on his behalf.

"In this extraordinary period, you should be more considerate and considerate, and if there is nothing to do, go home first."

"But the adults and the little ones come from poor families, and they all live by collecting firewood and hunting. If you can't go up the mountain, the whole family will have to drink the northwest wind, so please be accommodating. ”

The mayor looked at the men and looked at them pitifully, so he opened the booklet in his hand and asked them.

"Then tell me your name and where you live, and who are the families nearby, and if you understand it, we'll let you go up."

"Yes, the younger one is Liu Dazhu, and this is my brother Zhao Dayong. We live under the old banyan tree in Lotus Village, and there are also Aunt Zhao's family and Uncle Wang's house nearby, all of which are our neighbors. ”

The mayor flipped through the names in the brochure and found that although the names of the men were said to be in the brochure, the places where they lived did not match what they said.

Moreover, the neighbors in this neighborhood were not those ones, frowning, and did not let them pass.

"If you don't count what you say, you must not be telling the truth, stay honest and go home, otherwise, you will have to be arrested."

Lin Liang watched from afar and nodded at Duan Ling.

"Yes, this mayor has two brains, and he knows how to check carefully."

"Wait, let's see what Cao Yong has to say." Duan Ling didn't let Lin Liang go over first.

However, the few people who Duan Ling had arranged for the past just now were listening to the order, saying that they were going to fight to the death, and they had to go up.

So, he said that he usually doesn't know a few big characters, and he may not even know the specific address of the neighbor's house.

Cao Yong was really impatient with them, and he saw that these people were not very good-looking, and the clothes on their bodies were also tattered, so he waved his hand, too lazy to entangle with them again.

"If you want to go, you can go, give you two hours, you must go down the mountain, otherwise, Lord Ben will arrange for someone to go up and arrest you directly, and then send you to the government and lock you up!"

"Yes, thank you, thank you!"

The guards hurriedly thanked Cao Yong, and then walked towards the mountain.

"It seems that this Cao Yong can't stay." Hidden behind pillars hidden by several thatched huts, Duan Ling shook his head.

The previous Cao Yong still had a proud expression when facing the past of the couple and their husbands.

He thought that he would treat everyone like this, but now that he met a few people stalking him, he actually agreed to let them go up the mountain.

In case these people were arranged to work from somewhere else, it would be troublesome.

But there was also the chicken food poisoning incident before, and he dared to let these people go up the mountain, Cao Yong's heart was inevitably a little too big.

"I know, I'll clean him up later, why don't we go up the mountain and try it too?" Duan Ling asked Lin Liang.

"But there are so many people watching." Lin Liang originally wanted to go to the mountain to see it in person.

But looking at these officials, although they looked like they were about to fall asleep, there were also some officers and soldiers next to them.

It didn't seem easy for the two of them to get away from their tracking like this.

"It's not easy," Duan Ling beckoned to the back.

He had just arranged for a few guards, and now there were many others who followed.

After making a few gestures to them, sure enough, the guards swaggered towards the officials.

Then, a rather fierce clash broke out with them, and the two sides soon became a mess.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Duan Ling hugged Lin Liang's waist, and then ran light skills, and after tapping on the branches several times, he took advantage of this chaotic time to rush into the mountain forest.

It wasn't until the sound of the fight outside was getting lower and lower that Duan Ling popped a signal flare out of his sleeve, and a wisp of green smoke drifted out of the air.

When the guards below saw it, they ended the fight as fast as they could, and then fled.

Cao Yong was not so sleepy now, frowning, looking at the direction of the gang of people fleeing, arranging officers and soldiers.

"Hurry up and chase people back to Lord Ben, I don't know where they came from, they dare to attack us, they don't want to live, don't they?"

"Adults are angry, maybe it's just where they came from, just arrange some people to go over, if they all leave, we won't end well."

At the critical moment, it was the mayor of the town who came out to play a round and barely calmed Cao Yong's emotions.

After that, half of the officers and soldiers were left here to continue to guard with them, and the remaining half went to track down the group just now.

Now after going up the mountain, Duan Ling launched a signal flare to contact the few guards he had just arranged.

After that, let them follow, and they walked deeper and shallow towards the mountain.

Lin Liang's nose has always been very smart, and he hasn't gone far before he smells a faint stench in the air.

So, he pulled Duan Ling's sleeve and stopped, and after sniffing it in the air carefully, he turned his head to look at him.

"Do you ever smell a smell that isn't too fresh? It seems that we are getting closer and closer. ”

"Smell it, be careful." Duan Ling took her hand and directed the people behind her to gradually approach.

Then, smelling the smell in the air, it began to gradually get closer.

After walking for a while, Lin Liang suddenly stopped in front of a quagmire.

The mud on top of the mire was all black, and there were a few mushrooms growing in it.

Just getting closer, Lin Liang felt that he was about to suffocate in the next moment.

She had never smelled such a bad smell, and now she was extremely glad that she hadn't eaten much in the morning, and she had already digested it after such a trip, and now she didn't vomit it on the spot.

Duan Ling just glanced at it, and silently tore two strips of cloth from his sleeve.
