Chapter 12: Zhao Ying is missing
After killing Chang Wuwei, Xue Lihong asked Cheng Zhong to choose two of the strongest horses.
As the black-maned wolf howled, the remaining horses were instantly killed by the wolves and were eaten.
For a time, the scene was chaotic, blood everywhere, and it was a mess.
Cheng Zhong felt his scalp tingle, and squatted there nauseously retching.
At such a young age, how could he have seen such a bloody scene, even the most terrible nightmare, far less than the soul shock brought by this kind of scene.
Probably because they are of the same kind, the Tibetan mastiff was released by wolves.
These animals, which are usually fierce, tremble and tremble away at this moment, and then run away in unison.
The wolves slowly dispersed, and Blackmane took his leave.
The battlefield that was still full of flesh and blood just now, in an instant, only Xue Lihong, Cheng Zhong and Ma Er's wife remained.
"Where's the cub?" Cheng Zhong asked, looking at the red hair in the snow.
This is Cheng Zhong's biggest concern at the moment.
"Although the foolish brother and his own clan are gone, his friends are still there, so why should the virtuous brother worry about such a trivial matter. Xue Lihong said.
"Why did Brother Xue come here too?"
"I wanted to make the virtuous brother experience, but in the end, I couldn't bear it, and I followed. ”
"Then how did you learn about the attempt of the 'One X Path'?"
"This Dao has repeatedly involved in the secret realm of Tiemu Mountain before, and it has been killed by our clan. There has been no trace of it for nearly ten years, and it is lurking here. I have a good relationship with the wolf king of Qinghai Lake, and this time I explored the 'one X way' Qinghai lair, and then knew its plot. ”
"Which is the Wolf King of Qinghai Lake?"
"It's the one my brother saw, the black mane. ”
After that, Xue Lihong pointed at Ma's second wife with her mouth and said:
"Ngawang and this girl can ride back to their hometown, and I will pick up the cubs, and they will return to the same place. “
Before the words landed, they had already galloped away.
After seeing this killing, Cheng Zhong was already nervously numb, forgot to be afraid, and now began to clean up the battlefield.
He ignored the bones, mainly piled up the broken spears and scattered clothes and hats into a large pit, lit a fire and burned them, and then dug up some stones and turf, and buried them carefully.
He doesn't want others to find out and involve himself.
Of course, he was reluctant to burn the new steel gun.
This is the only trophy of this battle, and he plans to take it back and hide it in the underground labyrinth, maybe it will come in handy when it matters most.
After doing this, Cheng Zhong walked up to Ma's second wife, grabbed her arm, and helped her up.
It was only at this moment that the woman grabbed Cheng Zhong's hand as if she had just woken up from a big dream, and asked in a loud voice:
"Are you Zhong Wazi from Chengjiawan? What kind of place is this? Why are we here?"
"Hehe, I'm Cheng Zhong, I remember when I was very young, you still hugged me, do you remember?" Cheng Zhong said with a smile.
"Of course I remember, how young you were then, and now you've grown so tall. ”
"What do you remember?"
"I only remember that Ma Er died, and after that, it was like having a long, long nightmare, there were many evil wolves, and in the end, it was you who beat away the evil wolves and saved me, and I woke up from the dream.
Zhong Wazi, you are my life-saver, and I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life. ”
Ma's second wife actually showed symptoms of autistic forgetfulness of fear of injury.
Cheng Zhong had heard of this situation and knew that it was a magical way for the human brain to protect itself.
"Looks like you're really good, what's your name?" asked Cheng Zhong.
The reason why I asked this is to see if she is really awake.
These two come, although they are from the same village, because there is too little contact, Cheng Zhong really doesn't know her name.
"My surname is Zhang, and my name is Zhang Gaixiang. In terms of seniority, you should call me aunt. Ma's second wife blushed and her eyes flushed.
"Okay, I'll call you Aunt Zhang from now on. Aunt Zhang, come on, come on, you ride this horse, I'll ride that horse, it's time for us to get out of here!"
Cheng Zhong helped Ma's second wife to a white horse and carried her to the horse.
Then, he took the gun on his back and walked over to the young jujube red horse he had chosen for himself.
The young jujube red horse seemed to understand that it was the half-grown child's choice that saved him from the wolf's mouth.
It meekly arched its shoulders with its mouth, and waited there quietly.
Cheng Zhong was still a little shorter, and the stirrups hung high on his chest, and it took him a lot of effort to climb crookedly onto the horse's back.
Then, with a flick of the reins, the red horse threw its head back and neighed, and rushed forward.
A war, or rather a one-sided slaughter, has passed, and peace has returned to heaven and earth.
There were some black spots in the sky, and several vultures were circling and descending.
Their targets are the corpses of people and animals on the battlefield.
Two sturdy horses fly on all fours, tapping on the snowy wasteland, like an artist's fingertips skimming the keys and playing a rhythmic movement.
Cheng Zhong relied on the memory of when he came, and quickly found the road.
After getting on the road, the night had already fallen, and their vision was limited, so they simply slowed down, and the two of them slowly walked side by side.
Back at the tent hotel, Zhang Xiaoning was moving in and out of the tent, anxiously waiting.
After asking, I learned that Zhao Ying did not come back.
"Maybe he's gone somewhere else. Zhang Xiaoning said with some uncertainty.
"Does he have any relatives or friends nearby?" asked Cheng Zhong.
"I don't have any relatives, but I have a few friends, all of whom are friends with wine and meat. Zhang Xiaoning said.
Cheng Zhong felt faintly uneasy in his heart, and felt as if something was wrong.
Dinner was eaten in a dreary atmosphere.
Cheng Zhong still went back to sleep in the guard room of the three teams.
Zhang Gaixiang and Zhang Xiaoning, although they have different languages and some difficulties in communicating, have similar temperaments, and soon they will live together like good sisters.
Lying on the bed, Cheng Zhong tossed and turned, unable to sleep for a long time.
"Uncle Zhao Ying didn't come back, why on earth?"
This question was like a bug, burrowing in and out of Cheng Zhong's brain, tossing and turning, disturbing him, making him restless and irritable.
According to the agreement between Cheng Zhong and Zhao Ying, within an hour, Zhao Ying will wait for Cheng Zhong in the same place, and after more than an hour, he should return to the town and wait for Cheng Zhong to come back.
He knew that Cheng Zhong had something important, and he shouldn't go somewhere else to drink or have some fun at such a time.
Although there was only one meal of friendship, when Cheng Zhong encountered difficulties and needed help, Zhao Ying did not hesitate at all.
This is enough to show that although Zhao Ying is very arrogant on the surface, he is a person who can be trusted and can have a long-term relationship.
Sung Jong is a very emotional person and trusts his instincts.
In his heart, he already regarded Zhao Ying as his own, and he was not much worse than his family.
Uncle Zhao is gone, there must be some special reason for it.
"Was it eaten by wolves?"
Although Cheng Zhong is reluctant to think about the worst, this possibility does exist, and it is very large.
In the face of the crazy wolves, there is almost no one to run for their lives.
In addition, Xue Lihong and the Wolf King of Qinghai Lake are unwilling to let anyone who has seen them leave alive.
In the eyes of wolves, the human race is just a bunch of meat that can be wrapped in the belly, and there is no psychological burden on them to kill people.
This is evidenced by the massacre during the day.
The more Cheng Zhong thought about it, the more anxious he became, and he couldn't wait to get up immediately to find Zhao Ying.
But in the middle of the night, it was difficult to find the place where Zhao Ying was waiting for him during the day, and even if he found a place, Zhao Ying would definitely not stay there forever.
Falling asleep in a daze, he woke up several times in his dreams and sweated profusely several times......
Finally stayed up until the sky was bright, Cheng Zhong got up, dressed neatly, and ran to the tent restaurant.
The two women surnamed Zhang had just gotten up, and Cheng Zhong directly broke into the small tent where they lived, and said very quickly:
"Aunt Zhang, please take care of the house. Sister Zhang, please come with me, let's ride a horse to find Uncle Zhao, and come back to eat!"
The two women saw Cheng Zhong's solemn face, and they didn't dare to say more.
Zhang Xiaoning quickly pulled the two horses out, and Zhang Gaixiang helped put on the saddle cage.
In broad daylight, it was inconvenient to carry a gun, so Cheng Zhong asked Zhang Gaixiang to hide the gun in the tent.
The two men mounted their horses and galloped down the street in a southeasterly direction.
first found the place where he turned into the grassland yesterday, and then looked for the hillside where Zhao Ying once stayed.
Cheng Zhong's memory and sense of direction are not bad, and it didn't take much time to find a place.
On top of the dead grass and thin snow, the traces of motorcycle crushing are still there, and the traces of pedaling are also obvious.
It's just that the people are gone, and the cars are gone.
Seeing this situation at the scene, Cheng Zhong breathed a sigh of relief.
What he feared the most was a bloodstained eye and a terrifying human skeleton.
Now it seems that Zhao Ying at least has not been plagued by wolves.
A hanging heart, the small half is put in the stomach.
Cheng Zhong's mood calmed down, and he said to Zhang Xiaoning:
"Sister Zhang, you can rest assured, Uncle Zhao should not be in danger of life, maybe he really has something to do somewhere else temporarily. However, since we are here, we might as well take a closer look to see if there are any clues left. ”
Zhang Xiaoning also breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Hey, everyone is about to die of nervousness! This Zhao Ying is almost forty years old, and he is not in shape yet, who knows where he will go again. Little brother, don't say it, he cares about you, you should talk about him later. ”
Cheng Zhong smiled wickedly and said:
"Sister Zhang is his favorite person, as long as you are willing to marry him, I promise that I will not go out in the future, which turn will I talk about him. ”
"Oh, you little brother, you are a big ghost, you know everything, but you still don't know your sister's heart. People are not animals, they are matched when they are pulled together. If he had half of you, I'm afraid my sister would have married him a long time ago!"
Zhang Xiaoning looked ashamed and glared at Cheng Zhong angrily.
As they spoke, they stared at the ground and the grass.
I looked for a long time and didn't find any signs of anything out of the ordinary.
"What's that?"
The two of them said in unison.
They both looked at one place at the same time, and noticed something together.
A cigarette case, twisted into a ball, was casually thrown near the scene.
Cheng Zhong ran over to pick up the cigarette case, the red was bright, and when he saw that the sign was "China", he was shocked in his heart.
Zhao Ying can't afford to smoke this kind of cigarette, and the herdsmen can't afford to smoke it.
Not only because of the high price, but also because it is an exclusive product, which cannot be bought in the store at all.
The person who smokes this kind of cigarette should be a big cadre or a person of high status.
How could such a person appear in such a remote place and just throw a cigarette case near the scene?
Full of suspicion, Cheng Zhong opened the cigarette case.
The back of the cigarette case is white, and there are a few beautiful lines of Chinese characters in Xingshu:
"The person you are looking for has been kidnapped, for more information, please tie Hada around your neck. ”
