Chapter 288: Millet Field

The digging rod is a farming tool used by farmers to sow seeds. Now in early spring, it is almost time to sow grains such as millet, and it is not surprising that there are one or two digging sticks left on the ridge.

Hearing the words of the Fifth Qing, Shi Yiguang not only did not relax his vigilance, but took a step forward and squatted on the field, stretched out his hand to touch the digging stick that the Fifth Secretary said.

The night was too dark, especially in the fields. If it weren't for the faint light of the stars in the sky and the half-curved moon, it would really be impossible to see your fingers.

Shi Yiguang carefully touched the digging stick that Fifth Qing said. This digging stick is a normal farm tool, and my father used it when I was in Ramie Village.

Two digging sticks were inserted on each side of the ridge, and the same fishing line was tied to the one that emerged from the ground. Stretched Xu straight.

Shi Yiguang's hand slowly touched the faintly invisible fishing line, and his face became serious.

She looked up at the darkness of her surroundings, and in the deserted fields, she could only hear the sound of water not far away. In the distance, a mulberry forest looms in the night.

"It's a trap." Shi Yiguang said.

When the fifth secretary heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and immediately hung up again, and looked around nervously!

"Look! I'll just say it's a trap. Duan Shuyu breathed a sigh of relief, look, he was not wrong. If it weren't for the trap, how could he have tripped so easily.

"It's just a little weird," Shi Yiguang mumbled. Gaze swept over the surrounding terrain.

In such a field, in such an inconspicuous corner, why are there traps? Not to death and without warning.

Coming from Shen State, he crossed the Long River and went to the hinterland of Zeng State. You don't have to go through such a hurdle.

Shi Yiguang thought for a moment and inserted the digging rod back into its original position. Then he suddenly got up.

"You guys wait here." Shi Yiguang said, his body flashed, and he ran to the side of the road.

Shi Yiguang walked quickly to the nearby field and lowered himself to grope.

Sure enough, there were still two digging sticks stuck in the ground.

got up and walked towards the next few fields. Without exception, there are two such digging rods inserted in each field, tied with a fishing line so thin that it is almost invisible, blocking the field.

With a number in his heart, Shi Yiguang walked towards the field he had walked through, and sure enough, there were two digging rods tied with fishing lines on them. It's just that at this time, the group of people who have hurried past because of the general are either crooked or kicked away.

Shi Yiguang's face became solemn and returned to his original place.

"There's a digging rod on every ridge." Shi Yiguang frowned and said, "Including the way we came." ”

"Those sticks...... Fifth Secretary hesitated.

"It's all broken when we run by." Shi Yiguang said. She turned her head to look at Duan Shuyu.

"What then?" Fifth Qing asked.

Shi Yiguang crossed his waist and swept his gaze over the empty field again: "There must be something unusual around here, otherwise there won't be so many digging rods." ”

It's not like a trap to kill someone, it's like a device for tracking footprints.

Trace...... The word came out of Shi Yiguang's mind, and she narrowed her eyes.

Duan Shuyu was next to her, and she would naturally pay attention if she tripped up. But in the fields he walked before, Duan Shuyu dodged one after another and never tripped, which does not mean that the soldiers behind him did not trip.

It was normal to fall while walking in the fields, and she knew that no one would care. Even if someone is alert, at most they will only look at it as closely as the Fifth Secretary, and then they will not notice anything because it is a digging rod used to grow millet grass.

Shi Yiguang looked at the mulberry forest in the distance. She always felt that there was something wrong with this millet field.

"Duan Shuyu, pass the order, everyone will follow me from the field into the mulberry forest." Shi Yiguang opened his mouth and continued: "Pay attention to the digging rod on the ridge. ”

If there was really something wrong with the sparkling field, she would find out. Maybe it has something to do with the people who infiltrated the country before.

"Yes." When Duan Shuyu heard this, he walked towards the elite soldiers behind him.

"Fifth, take two soldiers back the way we came, and insert back the rods from all the fields we have crossed. After the event, the Mulberry Forest joined us. Shi Yiguang turned his head to look at the fifth secretary and ordered.

"No!" The fifth secretary took the order and picked two elite soldiers to lead them to the way they came.

After Shi Yiguang gave the order, he led the soldiers from the field to the mulberry forest in the distance.

Bypassing the usual fields, Shi Yiguang led people in a straight line towards the dark mulberry forest in the night.

Quiet in the mulberry forest. The forest is large, and the sprouted mulberry trees sway in the night breeze. None of the mulberry trees are too big, and the new trees are about two people tall.

Entering the forest, Shi Yiguang took the soldiers to hide. Shi Yiguang hid at the edge of the mulberry forest, looking at several figures in the distance.

Duan Shuyu and Ah Hei stood on Shi Yiguang's side and watched with her.

"What are we going to do here?" Duan Shuyu looked at the fifth Qing in the distance and asked in a low voice.

"Shh Shi Yiguang put his index finger on his mouth and compared, signaling Duan Shuyu to silence him.

Duan Shuyu said again: "Aren't you going to the hinterland of Zeng Kingdom?" Why do you want to come here and hide? ”

Shi Yiguang turned his head and looked at Duan Shuyu with cold eyes, Duan Shuyu quickly covered his mouth and shook his head.

In the distance, the fifth secretary with two guards took the digging sticks on the field one by one, and ran towards the mulberry forest.

Shi Yiguang kept looking at the scene around Fifth Qing. Although it was dark and the visibility was not clear, she still watched carefully.

can know that when the fifth secretary came back with the guards, Shi Yiguang had not noticed anything unusual.

It is impossible not to be out of the ordinary. The digging rods on each ridge are the biggest anomaly. This is not yet in the hinterland of the Zeng Kingdom, how can there be so many digging traps.

It's like ......

Ah Hei next to him didn't know if it was because he had just swam the river and ran for so long, and suddenly stopped and sneezed in the cold wind.

Shi Yiguang's mind lit up.

Yes, it's like a janitor dog!

With so many diggers, it's like watching the door. Once someone enters that 'door', it leaves a mark. Will fall and make a noise.

If these millet fields are the doors, where is the house?

Shi Yi's naked body straightened, and he looked at the Fifth Qing and a few people who were running towards this side in the distance.

Suddenly, I turned my head and looked sharply into the mulberry forest!

But it was too late.

The sound of breaking the sky came. These are soldiers who keep their bows and arrows in their hands all year round, how do you not know what these voices are?

But before they could react, long arrows flew over.

"Get down!" Shi Yiguang gave an order, raised his hand and pressed the head of Duan Shuyu, who was still staring at him with a round and dazed face, and pounced.

The soldiers who didn't have the first batch of arrows finally reacted quickly under Shi Yiguang's order. He leaned down on the ground and moved as far back as he could behind the mulberry tree next to him.
