Chapter 21: The Evidence Appears!
The more the two of them walked up the mountain, the more they felt that the fire was raging, and the scorching degree was getting worse and worse.
Apparently, the fire started at the top of the mountain.
It stands to reason that this naturally formed wildfire must be blooming everywhere, rather than spreading from one place to the surrounding area, and the spread is very regular.
Sure enough, as Su Mujiu expected, this must be a man-made event.
And isn't this man's purpose to destroy evidence?
Su Mujiu's eyes blinked lightly, her eyes became more and more solemn, and suddenly, the tips of her ears moved, as if she heard something.
"Steward, wait." Su Mujiu made a sound and stopped the pace of the manager.
The manager turned around with some doubts, and saw that the prince, whose skin was a few degrees darker than usual, was frowning and listening, as if he had found some traces.
The steward came to Su Mujiu's side with small steps, and he looked at the prince in front of him expectantly.
Su Mujiu was originally a person who practiced martial arts, and her hearing was naturally a little better than that of ordinary people, she stood in place and listened motionless for a long time, and finally, her frozen body began to move.
I saw her take an arrow step and go in the northwest direction.
The manager on the side hurried to follow, for fear of missing any detail.
Su Mujiu finally stopped in a place that looked slightly flat, there were not too many trees around, and the bushes above were all burned by the mountain fire.
"Lord Wang, why are you stopping here? Could this be where the wildfires were caused? Although the manager was a little afraid of the person in front of him, he still mustered up the courage and asked the doubts in his heart.
Su Mujiu shook his head lightly and said, "You don't need to look to know that the origin of this mountain fire must be the Sin Slave Village." ”
Those people committed heinous mistakes in the Sin Slave Village, and the evidence in the Sin Slave Village was only the most, so in order to be able to destroy the evidence, it must be ignited from the Sin Slave Village first.
It is a pity that those who were slaughtered alive experienced a man-made wildfire.
Alas.
Su Mujiu's dark eyes were like a galaxy twinkling in the night sky, and she sighed.
"Then what are you doing here, sir?" Obviously, in the steward's opinion, this is just a flat land, and the weeds on this flat land have not escaped the wildfires.
Why does the prince have a soft spot for this place?
"Have you ever heard a voice, right here?" Su Mujiu's eyes were staring at a certain place like a torch, but this was said to the manager.
The steward frowned, tilted his ears and listened hard, but heard nothing.
So he plucked his ears with his fingers again, and listened carefully again, but still found nothing.
"Lord Wang...... The minister was incompetent and did not hear any sound. The steward could only say that.
Su Mujiu hooked his finger towards the manager, and then pointed his fingertip lightly at a certain place.
The steward looked in the direction of the finger and saw a new piece of soil, apparently with signs of being turned.
Su Mujiu took a step, walked in front of the new soil, picked up the dead wood next to him, and gently brushed away the thin layer of new soil, and then what appeared in front of the two of them was a huge hole.
The entrance to the cave looks like the entrance to some kind of animal cave.
"Lord Wang, is there a living creature in here?" The manager looked at the scene in front of him with some shock.
Under such a magnificent wildfire, there are still living creatures.
"Uh-huh, do you have cabbage?" Su Mujiu raised his eyes and looked at the manager on the side.
If you ask ordinary people these words, I am afraid that they will be treated as neuropathy.
But this is different for the manager, who was living in poverty, and his wife prepared a few vegetable leaves and a small half of a baked cake for him before going out, just to satisfy his hunger.
The manager first glanced at Su Mujiu in surprise, and then carefully took out a small cloth bag from his arms, he unfolded the cloth bag, and there were indeed a few cabbage leaves in it.
"Lord Wang, how do you know that the minister has brought cabbage?" Obviously, the manager didn't expect Su Mujiu's nose to be so sensitive, and even the varieties of vegetables were accurate.
Su Mujiu took the few remaining pieces of cabbage from the cloth bag and placed them on the edge of the hole.
Her eyes flickered slightly, and then she said lightly: "My sense of smell is relatively sensitive, this cabbage is sweet, and the only dish I like is ......"
Su Mujiu paused as she spoke.
She just almost revealed her true liking!
She actually forgot that she is now the prince, and her preferences should be the same as the well-known prince!
The manager looked at Su Mujiu's annoyed appearance, thought that he had asked the wrong thing, and hurriedly apologized: "Lord Wang, the minister didn't deliberately hide this cabbage, it's just because this dish was grown by my wife herself, and it's too vulgar, so I haven't been embarrassed to take it out." ”
Su Mujiu put his finger against his lips and motioned for the manager to silence.
The manager obediently closed his mouth and stared at Su Mujiu for a moment, for fear that he would cause some trouble again.
Suddenly, the manager heard a movement, which attracted his attention, and then he actually saw a small head poking out of the hole, and then the little head saw Su Mujiu and the manager, but he was not flustered at all, and came out of the hole directly.
It stretched out its fleshy paws, grabbed the cabbage and nibbled on it obediently.
Obviously, it seems that it has not been able to eat it all for a long time, and it tastes like it is devouring.
"Lord Wang? What is this? Why are you not afraid of people? The steward stared at the little guy in front of him.
This little creature looks like a bear, but it is much smaller than a bear, a little bigger than a domestic cat, and has a pair of round eyes, which looks very cute and playful.
"This is a wombat, which likes to eat eucalyptus leaves, and it seems that it is hungry during this time and has no food to store, so it even nibbles on cabbage with relish." The moment Su Mujiu saw this cave, this little thing, the heart that was originally hanging high finally fell steadily.
Because this little guy must have the clues she wants.
"Why isn't it afraid of people?" These ordinary little animals must be timid and hide when they see people, but they didn't expect this little guy to be so swaggering when he saw people, and he was completely unafraid of them.
"Because it's natural to love to be coquettish, it's normal to not be afraid of people, don't think too much." Su Mujiu explained.
"Lord Wang, do you want to rescue this little animal?" The steward looked at Bai Ni Dress, and there was eagerness in those eyes.
I didn't expect the prince to be so enthusiastic, at this critical juncture, to put his own affairs behind, but to care about these little animals.
“…… Steward, I finally know why you haven't been reused and promoted. Su Mujiu held her forehead, she was thinking about whether she was right or wrong with someone.
