Ye Dai had never seen a beast wearing shoes, so she was sure that it was a person who left this shoe print. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

She also followed Ding Chen's example, squatted down to observe carefully, and then asked Ding Chen suspiciously, "Isn't this a straw shoe print?" ”

Ding Chen nodded, agreeing with her.

Most of the people in the apartment wear straw sandals on weekdays, and occasionally cloth shoes, mainly because they lack durable soles.

Every time a caravan came over, it would bring a few pairs of leather shoes like Ding Chen's military boots, but the price was usually high. Few people are willing to exchange, Ye Dai has a pair of leather shoes left by her father in the past. But I've been reluctant to take it out and wear it. For example, this time she knew that she had to act in the rain, so she went out directly in straw sandals. They are all people who are used to running outside, and their feet are not so expensive.

Of course, it is said to be straw sandals, but the bottom sole is still wooden, and it is connected to the upper with string. The shoes were also padded with softened hay. It's also comfortable to step on. The disadvantage is that the cold protection performance is not good, and it is not strong and durable.

The shoes on Ye Dai's feet were washed off after falling into the water. The clothes are still remade while waiting on the shore. Speaking of which, Ye Dai's craftsmanship in weaving straw shoes is quite good, after Ding Chen saw her work, he also learned from her and also made a pair for himself, but unfortunately both the appearance and comfort are far from Ye Dai's weaving.

In contrast, the military boots on Ding Chen's feet were much stronger. After soaking in water for so long, I didn't open the glue.

Clogs also have a very important disadvantage, that is, they are not flexible and do not have good slip resistance. In order to solve the slip resistance, many people will engrave a pattern under the sole to increase friction. But the pattern is usually straight and the style is very simple, and few people put too much thought into it, after all, the bottom of the wood is easy to wear. Too much pattern can also reduce the firmness of the sole. It will never be as clear as the pattern on this footprint.

Ding Chen was well aware of this, and in fact many of the people he met during his journey were particularly interested in his shoes. It even caused a very brutal fight. Ding Chen can proudly say that his ability to pull hatred in these shoes is definitely no worse than bringing a woman.

So he knows very well the value of a good pair of shoes, why would someone who can have a pair of such shoes appear on a barren mountain?

He thought for a moment and asked Ye Dai, "Do you know any human gathering points around here?" ”

Ye Dai shook her head suspiciously, carefully recalling the information she knew. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any useful content.

Ding Chen thought for a while and asked Ye Dai, "Do you want to follow and have a look?" ”

So Ye Dai began to hesitate. For her, going home is the most important thing, so she really doesn't want to make any extraneous complications. But seriously, she was really curious as to why someone was here.

She thought for a moment and said to Ding Chen, "Could it be a homeless man picking up garbage?" ”

Ding Chen shook his head. From the map given to him by his father, it can be seen that the abandoned city is in the other direction of the apartment, and even if there are homeless people, it is impossible to go around this far, which is a straight distance of hundreds of kilometers.

And to be honest, Ding Chen doesn't think there is any garbage to pick up in this kind of ghost place at all? It can be seen from what I have seen and heard in the past few days that this area is absolutely pristine, pure green and pollution-free, at least Ding Chen has never seen the traces left by the previous civilization in this area.

Ye Dai thought about it seriously again, and finally gritted her teeth and made up her mind, and said to Ding Chen: "Let's go and have a look." ”

This is exactly what Ding Chen wanted to do, so the two of them no longer hesitated, and under the leadership of Ding Chen, they followed the traces left by that person and chased after them.

It could be seen that the man was still very careful when he walked by, leaving few traces along the way. If it weren't for Ding Chen's discovery of the footprints on the moss, most of them would have thought that they were the marks left by some kind of beast when it passed.

This person was obviously walking towards the mountain, Ding Chen and Ye Dai chased for more than two hours, and actually found a path that was stepped on.

Seeing the weeds that had been trampled on the path, Ding Chen's expression became serious, and Ye Dai also felt that something was wrong, and asked in a low voice, "There are many people here?" ”

Ding Chen shook his head, squatted down to carefully observe the path in front of him, and said after a while, "You stay here?" I'll go take a look. ”

"Will it be dangerous?" Ye Dai asked uneasily: "Forget it!" ”

Ding Chen glanced at her with a smile, "Then we didn't come for nothing?" You have to figure out how many people are here and what are they doing? ”

He left the basket and bucket he carried to Ye Dai, and helped her find a place to hide. Cleaned up a bit and walked along the path with only the black knife and saber.

Knowing that he was operating on someone else's territory, Ding Chen was very careful along the way, in addition to paying attention to whether there were traps underground, he also always paid attention to whether there were any secret sentinels set up by the other party in the distance.

After walking for more than ten minutes, he suddenly heard the voice of someone talking in front of him. Ding Chen was taken aback, looked around, and found that there was no place to hide nearby, but there was a cliff not far from the side of the path.

Ding Chen ran over quickly, looked down, and found that there was a stream below, about seven or eight meters high from where he was.

He immediately leaned down, grabbed the weeds on the edge of the cliff, and hung himself down to the bottom of the cliff and waited quietly.

Soon the person who spoke came over, and it was two men with guns. Wearing the same color of blue clothes, the fabric looks crisp, a bit like Ding Chen's common work clothes in the factory in the past, except that this kind of clothing is lapel-on, not the usual stand-up collar, and the hem is not cinched.

One of the men's clothes looked new, with visible creases and a distinct grinding sound as they walked.

What surprised Ding Chen was the guns in the hands of these two people. Obviously, they were two semi-automatic rifles with long barrels and a large wooden butt at the back, without the usual noticeable magazines, except for an inconspicuous protrusion under the bolt, which appeared to be fed by magazines.

Ding Chen subconsciously shrank his head. He didn't expect to see someone with a gun here, so he didn't take out his pistol and prepare it, and now the gun is still strapped to his thigh. Ding Chen didn't think he had the ability to take off his pants and take out the gun when his whole body was hanging on the edge of the cliff, and he couldn't alarm those two people.

He heard one of the men say as he walked, "One more time should be empty!" ”

"Almost." Another man in new clothes said, "I don't see much in there. ”

"You'd better put this dress back." The first person said, "If you let Old K come back and see it, beware of him getting angry." ”

"Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to eat the water, my clothes are torn, and I can't be naked. Besides, we have to have some benefit to guard in this kind of place where there is no village and no store. The man in the new clothes said indifferently: "Anyway, there are such clothes, just when I received my share in advance!" ”

When his companion saw that he was resolute. and no longer persuade. Maybe in his heart, he also thinks that getting a new dress to wear is not a big deal.

He looked up at the sun, "After this walk, it's time to call it a day." Let's stew that pheasant at night. ”

"I'll see it." The man in the new clothes said, "I have to smoke the hole well, and when I went to bed last night, I always felt that there were bugs crawling on my body." ”

His companion snorted, "Who told you to strip naked to sleep, why can't I feel bugs?" Beware of the rats biting off your words, and the moth girl can follow me. ”

Speaking of this, both of them laughed, and the topic began to turn to the direction of good children, for Ding Chen, naturally there was no value in eavesdropping.
