I realized that if Ruoyu really had a problem, there was a good chance that she would leave a mark in the area. Because without guidance, people from outside will not find this hidden trail. With that in mind, I stopped walking. I took Xiao Ni back to the river, and sure enough, at the fork of the road, I saw three stones on the ground leaning together to indicate the direction.

This humble signpost confirmed my judgment of Wakayu. I broke the signpost and searched carefully forward. It was under the boulder at the secret junction into the mountain that I saw once again a sign pointing to a broken branch.

These two road signs prove Ruoyu's intentions. A slight chill rose in my heart. I vaguely feel that Ruoyu is not as simple as guiding people into the mountains. She seems to have a larger purpose. But as far as the current situation is concerned, I still don't know anything about other related things except that I know that Ruoyu has ulterior motives.

Xiao Ni understands that something is wrong and wants to contact the family. But since yesterday, there has been no signal, and satellite communications have lost their effect. I said, "You don't have to waste your time on external contacts, from now on, everything will have to be solved by ourselves." ”

"Without the support of our family, we would be deaf and blind. We don't know if Ruoyu is doing this alone? Or is it a service or cooperation for an agency? What is the purpose of their actions? How many people are following them? What kind of people are these people? What kind of equipment did they carry? ……”

Faced with Xiao Ni's series of question marks, I said, "You don't have to worry about this, as the saying goes, the soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth." These are the things you want to know, sooner or later. Fortunately, we already know Ruoyu's dissent, as long as it is not an army coming from behind, it will not be difficult to deal with. ”

Xiao Ni said, "Then what will follow will be an army?" ”

Hearing Xiao Ni ask this, my heart was gagged. In such a no-man's land, it is not impossible to use a mercenary army of one or two hundred people. Until it is confirmed, I can only consider that anything is possible. Even though I had this thought in my heart, I didn't want to scare Xiaoni. I said, "It's unlikely, as far as I know, there's nothing in the tribe that is worth making such a big deal and using so much human and material resources." Unless they also know that the book exists. ”

Xiao Ni said categorically, "This is absolutely impossible!" ”

I said, "If that's the case, you don't have to worry too much." Everything will be clear to us when we arrive at the tribe and the results of the tribe's investigation will come out. ”

Xiao Ni said, "But my heart is a little unsteady." If you knew this, you shouldn't have let Ruoyu participate in this operation. ”

I said, "Since Ruoyu has a different heart, it's better to let her stay with us." If she hadn't been with us, but had brought another team into the mountains, we might have been in even more trouble. ”

Xiao Ni thought for a moment and said, "From this point of view, Ruoyu is not sure about acting alone, and what else does she have to rely on us?" ”

Xiao Ni's words reminded me of it. If nothing else, the people who were recruited by Ruoyu are most likely the mantis catching cicadas, the yellow finch behind the yellow finches, and we are the praying mantises. The intention of these people is for us to get things done, and then they just have to come down from Mount Emei to pick the fruits of victory. If that's the case, then they should be a group of people who use force. Thinking of this, I don't dare to think about it anymore. Because I know what kind of scenario will arise and what kind of consequences will there be if something like this happens.

I understand that this is getting more and more complicated. The first is our relationship with the tribe, because of the intervention of those people attracted by Ruoyu, our relationship with the tribe is no longer simple. It is bound to make the tribesmen doubt our purpose, and even cracks. The second is our relationship with those people who are only for us? Or is it the use of force that does not accomplish the use of force? Or are they just here to use force and ignore nothing else? Either way, we will not be able to avoid a war with them. Fortunately, Ruoyu didn't know much about our personnel composition and equipment before, and her information couldn't be passed on after that. As long as the message transmission between Ruoyu and the people behind is interrupted, as long as the number of people behind is not too large, we still have the ability to fight with it. Finally, there is the relationship between the tribe and those people who are like Ruoyu. There is no doubt that this is the relationship between a guardian and a predator. They are hostile. But I'm very conflicted in my heart, are we facing Ruoyu alone? Or do you unite the tribes against each other? If you unite the tribes, you will inevitably bring disaster to the tribes. If we fight independently, I am not sure of victory. The point is that I don't know how many people Ruoyu has brought? How effective are these people? It also made it impossible for me to decide whether to fight independently or unite with the tribes.

Xiao Ni saw my solemn face and said, "Isn't it serious?" ”

I smiled and reached out and patted Xiao Ni on the shoulder, "No big deal." There I am! I thought about it for a moment and explained to Xiaoni, "Ruoyu's matter is only known to the two of us." You can't talk about it to anyone. ”

Xiao Ni said, "Can't the little brother say it too?" ”

I said, "Don't tell him just yet, wait until things are clear." We must remain quiet now, and do not alarm Ruoyu, lest other troubles arise and a situation beyond our control. ”

"So what are we going to do next?" ”

I said, "Let's not do anything yet." Everything will take its course and wait for the time to come. ”

Xiao Ni nodded, "Okay, listen to you." ”

When I went further, I no longer had the interest to instruct Xiao Ni to practice the continuous force of concentrated explosions, and my mind was full of various situations and how to deal with them after various situations appeared. I decided to join forces with the tribe to fight the enemy. I made this decision based on two ideas. One idea is that if the rain attracts so many people, we simply can't support it on our own. Another idea is that if we fail to fight on our own, the tribe still can't avoid confronting the people of Ruoyu head-on. Rather than waiting for either of these situations to arise, it is better to think of the worst and prepare for a rainy day.

Xiao Ni followed me unhurriedly, looking like she was already practicing and using it freely. I turned my head to look at Xiao Ni and thought, I hope I thought too much.
