Chapter 8: Orion

Yan Yu's words may have been a little frustrated, but when he realized that this was very likely to make Lin Xiaoyu lose confidence, he changed his tone.

"But Qin Dayou is right, Laohe Fort is surrounded by mountains, it is a closed place, people can't run anywhere, as long as we don't give up, we will definitely be able to find it!"

Lin Xiaoyu showed a wry smile, she saw a drop of half-congealed blood, stopping on the tip of Yan Yu's hair, and couldn't help but say, "You...... You don't have to fight like that......"

Yan Yu shook his head: "They are my students, if they were someone else, I would do the same." ”

Lin Xiaoyu was a little disappointed for a moment, but quickly smiled again: "This is the reason why children like you." ”

Although it was just a few short small talks, the atmosphere became a little strange, and Lin Xiaoyu suddenly felt that wasting a second was ashamed of the child, and hurriedly asked, "Where to find it next?" ”

Yan Yu put away the medallion, pondered for a moment, walked to the ashes and squatted for a while, and looked up to ask Lin Xiaoyu.

"What are you wearing today?"

"What clothes? You mean......" Lin Xiaoyu became nervous, and couldn't help but look at the residue of clothes left on the bones.

"You think it's children's clothes?" Her voice trembled a little.

"Since the medals are all there, the clothes should be burned as well......

"But this is the bone of a monkey, and it is impossible for Qin Dayou and his gang to pick up clothes from children, so someone picked up children's clothes and put them on monkeys......"

Yan Yu's analysis made Lin Xiaoyu frightened, but he also saw a glimmer of hope.

"But...... It's possible that the kids slipped in and lost their medals, and the clothes weren't necessarily my two poor kids'......"

Yan Yu shook his head, twisted the residue of the clothes with his fingers, and explained: "You see the residue of this clothes, the texture is different, after burning, it leaves a bead-like residue, this is polyester, that is, 'really good', it is definitely Xiaoshuang's clothes......"

After Lin Xiaoyu's husband Zhao Jianghai was discharged from the army, he brought back some "really good" fabrics, but Lin Xiaoyu was reluctant to use them himself, and finally made clothes for the children.

This fabric is not something that can be bought casually, and in a closed place like Laohe Fort, adults don't have such cloth to wear, let alone children.

This is one of the reasons why other children envy the big and small pairs.

Xu is mentioning the fabric, which reminded Lin Xiaoyu of her husband who has not known life and death for many years, and Xu is confirming the child's clothes, which seems to reduce the chance of the child's survival, and she fell into a short period of sluggishness.

Yan Yu couldn't bear to disturb her emotions again, after all, she had gone crazy once, so she struck while the iron was hot, clenched her fists, and said confidently.

"Then, we only need to find someone to dress the monkey, which is equivalent to finding someone to pick up the child's clothes!"

"Orion!"

Lin Xiaoyu really ignited his fighting spirit, and blurted out immediately!

Earlier, some villagers mentioned that they asked the mountain hunter to help catch this monkey, which means that the hunter is a very valuable clue!

Not to mention whether Orion kidnapped the child, and I am not sure if Orion picked up the child's clothes, even if Orion just picked up the child's clothes, that is the most useful clue at present!

But this flashing expression didn't last long, and the light in Lin Xiaoyu's eyes quickly dimmed, and he sat down on the ground dejectedly.

She pulled her messy hair back, covered her hands and put her right hand on the cactus, covering her entire face, and her expression could not be seen.

Yan Yu could see that her shoulders were trembling, as if she was holding back the grief in her heart.

"What's wrong?"

"Xiaoyu?"

Yan Yu gently patted her shoulder, and the latter raised his head, and there were no tears flowing out of his already red and swollen eyes.

"There is only one hunter in the mountains, and from time to time they will exchange wild animals or furs for salt and tea and rice......"

"Only one? It won't be ...... It can't be the old master, right? Yan Yu was also a little nervous.

Lin Xiaoyu didn't nod or deny it, Yan Yu frowned suddenly.

It's no wonder that Lin Xiaoyu is so worried, because the old master is a legendary figure in the old river fort!

It's a pity that the old quasi-master is a legendary figure, not a legend, and what he left behind is not a good name, but a notoriety, a notoriety that can make children stop crying!

Legend has it that Lao Zhun and his family have been hunters for generations, and in that difficult era, many people starved to death, but Lao Zhun survived, and it is said that they were able to live until now because they ate human flesh!

If the child really falls into their hands, it will be even more dangerous than the uncles in the village of the Dragon King Temple!

Yan Yu is not unaware of the ugliness of the world, but he doesn't want to believe that the old grandfather's family will eat people.

If they are really such characters, why should they honestly barter, they can go into the village to steal or plunder.

They can barter and exchange prey for salt and rice, which shows that they still have a limit.

It's just that Lin Xiaoyu, like many people in the village, has long been frightened by this evil legend, how can he not worry?

"Xiaoyu, don't always think about the worst, since we have found a clue, let's chase it!"

Lin Xiaoyu raised his head and said with some embarrassment: "Only the men in the village know about the old quasi-family going down the mountain to trade, and only the patriarch knows which mountain he lives in......"

"In the early years, people came from the county, saying that they wanted to persuade them to come down the mountain to live, and they also had to apply for household registration, but in the end, they ......"

"In the end, none of those people came back......"

The more Lin Xiaoyu said this, the more he felt that the hope was slimmer, his voice trembled, and the whole person became a little flustered.

At the critical moment, you must not mess with yourself, Yan Yu immediately interrupted her words: "Since someone knows, it's good to ask!" ”

Lin Xiaoyu seemed to be infected by Yan Yu's emotions, but he was still worried: "The village chief is with you...... I don't know what's going on, and I don't want to ask much, it's just ...... Will he tell you something so confidential? ”

It was a matter of life and death for the child, Yan Yu didn't want Lin Xiaoyu to fall into despair, but he didn't want to give Lin Xiaoyu useless hope, so he didn't dare to boast about Haikou, but said cautiously.

"Someone always knows, I don't believe that only Qin Dayou knows."

As soon as this sentence was said, it naturally showed that Yan Yu also had the heart to ask Qin Dayou about the situation.

Apart from Qin Dayou, who else is most likely to know?

Lin Xiaoyu's heart moved, and he said with burning eyes: "You mean...... You mean Qin Zhong? ”

Yan Yu nodded, and shook his head again: "He may know some inside stories, but he can't guarantee that he knows the location of the old master, but it's a clue." ”

The reason why Lin Xiaoyu followed Yan Yu out to look for someone was that he didn't want to wait, he always felt helpless about the child in his heart, and if he could find the direction, what was there he unwilling to try?

Qin Zhonghe...... I'm better to ask him......" Lin Xiaoyu bit his lower lip and said this, his face was not very good-looking.

Yan Yu stood up: "No, I'll go with you." ”

He also knew that if Lin Xiaoyu took the initiative to ask, Qin Zhong would most likely let go, but this would make Lin Xiaoyu feel wronged, and he would have the meaning of bearing the burden of humiliation, and Yan Yu couldn't bear it.

Lin Xiaoyu felt warm, nodded to Yan Yu, and the two walked through the archway and walked down the mountain quickly.

When he arrived at the entrance of the village, Yan Yu said to Lin Xiaoyu: "Qin Zhong's side, I'll just ask, you go back to find some dry food, and by the way, get some clean binding cloth for me, if you can really ask something, I can go into the mountains to find someone." ”

Lin Xiaoyu knew that Yan Yu was protecting her, she was a stubborn person, and she would not be favored easily, but it was a matter of life and death for the child, and she would no longer twist it, and besides, she also had her own plans.

Seeing Lin Xiaoyu nodding and leaving, Yan Yu walked towards Qin Zhong's house.

Seeing that it was almost noon, the sun was fierce, and from time to time there would be a crackling sound under the sun, as if the bark or something else had been cracked.

In this kind of weather, no matter how strong a man is, he can't last long, let alone dig a cave.

However, when he walked to the front of the Qin family cave, Yan Yu found that Qin Zhong was carrying a shovel and a turban wrapped around his face, and he really wanted to go out to dig!

"Don't think that if you don't arrest you and go to the police station, you can run around, my father will come back with the comrades from the police station in a while, and you will be good-looking!"

Qin Zhong has been hostile to Yan Yu for a long time, although he will not use conspiracies and tricks to deal with Yan Yu, but he is the one who opposes Yan Yu the most on weekdays.

In his opinion, Yan Yu's little white face is not the same as them in the village at all, Yan Yu will have to fly away sooner or later, only using good-looking skin and nice words to coax Lin Xiaoyu, in order to be quick for a while, he can't give Lin Xiaoyu a long time.

"Brother Qin, I'm going to find the old master, you show me the way." Yan Yu was not ambiguous, because he knew that there was no need to beat around the bush when dealing with an upright man like Qin Zhong.

"Giving you directions? What is the way? Not to mention looking for the old master, you can't even leave the village for half a step! ”

Qin Zhong flatly refused, but only a few seconds later, he seemed to come back to his senses.

"What do you say? Are you looking for an old master? You don't want to die! He subconsciously pulled Yan Yu aside, looked around, and lowered his voice again, although his face was full of anger, he couldn't hide the jealousy in his eyes.

"The monkey you burned is wearing Xiaoshuang's clothes, you don't know this, do you?" Yan Yu didn't hide it at all, but Qin Zhong was surprised.

"You are really being hidden...... Yan Yu's previous speculation is really correct, it is estimated that considering Qin Zhong's intentions for Lin Xiaoyu, he is afraid that Qin Dayou and others did not tell Qin Zhong about this section, but just asked him to guard outside the archway.

Yan Yu took out the medal and told Qin Zhong about his discovery, the latter's temples were bulging, his muscles were bursting up, and he was also furious!

"They did such a thing! No way! I'll look for them! ”

Yan Yu snorted noncommittally and grabbed Qin Zhong.

"Forget it, if you go, you can make a lot of noise, or you will be knocked by your old man, why bother?"

"It's still important to find a child, you just tell me where the old prospective master is."

Regarding Qin Dayou's character, Qin Zhong naturally knows more than Yan Yu, if he really wants to make trouble, he is afraid that the consequences will be more troublesome than what Yan Yu said.

It's just that...... The old master's residence is a big secret, if his father is not the patriarch, he has no way of knowing at all, his father can trust him so much, how can he Qin Zhong tell Yan Yu?
