Chapter 47: Tracking

It's not that I'm superstitious, but when someone on the shoulder is somehow tapped on the shoulder, it's definitely not a wise choice to blindly turn back. I immediately dodged half a step quickly, and shouted as I turned my whole body around, "Who? ”

This time, I could clearly see that the "person" behind me was thin and small, and I could vaguely see a long hair and a pale face. I snapped off and was obviously unexpected, so I turned around and ran to the door. Rui Wei, who was hiding at the door and waiting for an opportunity, of course would not easily let him escape, and immediately jumped out to block him.

When he saw someone at the door, he looked even more flustered, and he turned around and planned to run to the side, I chased after him, only to see Rui Wei gently stretched out his hand, and the dementor stick in his hand suddenly blocked between his two feet, so that he immediately stumbled and fell into the grass.

Rui Wei stepped forward with an arrow, and I saw her stretch the dementor stick forward, afraid that she would shoot too hard, so I quickly stopped: "Hey, don't be heavy-handed!" ”

Rui Wei glanced at me and said, "You still need to say it!" Then I realized that she had just lightly pressed her dementor stick against the man's chest on the ground, and had no intention of hurting him.

I couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that I am the only one who has made a heavy hand!" ”

Rui said angrily: "Young poor mouth, who is this person?" ”

"If my guess is right......" I walked over, crouched down and held out my hand to the man, "Come, get up." ”

"You, who are you?" A timid voice came. The moonlight shone down again, shining on her smooth little face, which was clearly a little girl of eleven or twelve years old.

The reason why I immediately judged that she was not a "ghost" was because the moment I turned around, I already saw her bright eyes. The eyes are a weather vane of the energy state of the human body, the eyes are clear, the eyes are bright, and the yang energy is full, which already shows that she is 100% human.

"We are friends with your village chief. Come, get up! Did the fall hurt? I said mildly.

She was a little surprised, and her eyes were full of doubt.

I smiled and said, "Don't worry, we just finished eating Sister-in-law Liu's cooking!" ”

When she heard the familiar name, she calmed down a lot, and stretched out her little hand to me.

When I held her hand, I was shocked, not only are these hands not cold, but they are unusually warm, and then I look closely at the girl in front of me, and find that her cheeks are dark and her breath is short, is it ......

I pulled her up and dusted her off and asked, "Why are you here alone?" ”

"I ......," she said, but she seemed a little frightened, broke free of my hand, and stepped back, about to run away.

Rui Wei was about to stop her, but I grabbed her arm and let the girl run out of the yard.

"What are you doing? I haven't asked yet! Rui asked curiously.

"That's why I'm letting her go." I replied, and nodded in the direction she was running.

Rui Wei immediately understood, and the two of us quickened our pace and chased in the direction where the little girl was running.

While chasing me, he said to Rui Wei: "Just now you saw that she is not a ghost, she is worthy of being a female heavenly master." ”

Without turning her head, she said, "Needless to say, ghosts will trip up." ”

"Yes, I heard that ghosts have no legs...... I felt that I had fallen into such a way that I had begun to use this kind of scaring of children as knowledge.

Rui Wei turned his head this time, looked at me with a meaningful look and said, "What ghosts don't have, it's not just feet." ”

I quickly waved my hand and said, "Okay!" If we don't hurry up, the child will run away, and if we can't find her companion, we will come in vain! ”

"Haha!" Rui Wei laughed, but then asked me, "How do you know she has companions?" ”

I asked her, "If you go to the village alone in the middle of the night without lighting a lantern and don't know what the hell is going on, and when you see other people, will you go up and pat them on the shoulder?" ”

Rui thought for a while and said, "It's really not, it's too late to hide when you see the figure." ”

"That's it," I said, "the child must have taken me for her companion." I guess there should be no one in this village at night for a day or two, and this kid knows it in his heart. ”

"So who is she? Are you here to steal something? Rui asked.

"I don't know yet." I replied, but there was already a faint uneasiness in my heart, as if our discovery was not going to lead to great trouble.

In this way, he kept running towards the east of the village, and ran for about two or three miles, and the faint white shadow in front of him disappeared in a flash. As soon as I was worried, the two of them also stopped and cautiously followed.

But when he came to the front, he found that there was a road beside the road that continued downward, and became wider and wider, but the flat ground beside him gradually became higher, as if he had entered the ground, but the top of his head was open. I guess there was a river crossing here, which washed out such a unique terrain.

The girl seemed to have disappeared suddenly, probably because she had run into this path.

We walked inside for a while and never saw the girl again. At this time, Rui Wei pointed to the side and said, "Look, there's a hole there." ”

When I saw it, the hole was open on the faΓ§ade of the earthen slope that was raised next to it, and the entrance was very large, which could accommodate two or three people at the same time. When I walked over, the cave was dark and I couldn't see how deep it was.

The road ahead is unknown, it is too risky for two people to go in together, I plan to still let Rui Wei guard at the entrance of the cave, and go in alone to explore, but she obviously doesn't believe in my handles, and refuses to let me go in alone, of course, I can't let her go alone as a girl, and the two are at a stalemate for a while.

In the midst of the stalemate, we suddenly heard footsteps in the cave, and there was a faint shaking fire, and the two of us quickly found a nearby bush and crouched down, staring at the entrance of the cave.

I saw two men walking out of the cave with torches. Looking at the figure, it should be two men, and one of them, a little taller, said, "Who will Xiaomei meet?" ”

The short one said, "I don't know, she said she's not from the village, she won't...... It's from the government, right? ”

Gao said, "Why did the people from the government come to the village so late? And Xiaomei said that they didn't even take the lantern, and they felt that the person who came was not good, so everyone should be careful. ”

They were probably discussing that the little girl had just met us in the village. I said in my heart, "You have come not well!" What kind of government are you afraid of, is it also the grass for the guys?

But looking at the costumes of these two people by the light of the fire, they really don't look like any loud horses, and they feel like ordinary people.

After they walked out of the cave, they followed the road towards the col. I thought this was a rare clue, so I secretly followed with Rui Wei again.

Because I was afraid of alarming them, I was far away, and I couldn't hear their conversation very clearly, but I was even more surprised when I heard them say something like "send another one", "two more", "can only be buried", and so on.

After walking for a long time, I saw a cave on the faΓ§ade of the dirt slope again. When they came to the door, the tall man took a rattle-like thing from his bosom, and shook it a few times, and a fire flashed in the cave, but no one came out of the hole.

The short man took out something from the basket he was carrying and put it at the entrance of the cave and said, "I have encountered something today, and I may not be able to go tomorrow, so let's save some use." ”

The people in the cave still did not show their heads, and a somewhat old voice came out: "Alas...... I don't know if there's a tomorrow, ahem......"

The two outside were silent for a long time, and the tall man shouted again: "Take care!" Here we go. Then the two turned and left.

After a while, the light gradually brightened, and a man with a torch appeared at the hole. He bent down to pick up something on the ground, turned and went in again. I saw him hunched over, slow in his movements, and vaguely an old man.

I groaned for a while and said to Rui Wei, "You wait for me here, and I'll come when I go." ”

She grabbed me and asked, "Why are you going?" ”

I stomped my foot and deliberately made a slightly embarrassed expression and said, "This ...... People have three urgencies, you know......"

She let go of her hand with a "puff", and I got out of the bushes and chased in the direction of the two men who had just left. After following for a while, it was found that they had indeed returned to the previous cave. Judging from the fact that they didn't hear a sound for a long time inside, it was likely that there was no one guarding inside, so I leaned against the wall and walked in slowly.

As soon as I entered, I found that the structure of this cave was really interesting, first there was a huge stone blocking it, like the wall at the entrance of the courtyard, so I could only turn to the left and walk slowly down the ramp. After walking about ten meters away, I went around to the right again, and I came to a relatively smooth sandwich road, and there were small oil lamps on the walls on both sides, because they were blocked by boulders, so I couldn't see any light from the outside.

In order to prevent any defensive facilities from being placed on the perimeter, I walked carefully and watched carefully, and walked very slowly. After walking for a while, I turned left again, and if I looked at the uneven surface of the wall, it didn't look like a manual excavation, and I couldn't help but be amazed by the magic of nature.

As I walked, I found that there was nothing unusual, so I relaxed my vigilance and strode forward, and when I turned a corner, a person suddenly appeared on the opposite side, and collided with me with a "thump".

This collision, the top of his head was hitting my chin, knocking me back a few steps back with a "wow", only to feel the pain in my jaw, but I didn't care about appeasing it, I couldn't help but raise my head in pain, wanting to see if this one came out on the other side, whether it was a person or a ghost.

But I saw that the situation of the person opposite was not much better, he was holding his head and bending over and grinning, looking at the simple cloth clothes, trouser legs tightly tied, grass shoes and muddy dress, plus the obvious calluses on the rough hands, he should be a peasant who often does farm work.

He held it for a long time before he raised his head, muttering: "Who is this, you don't have long eyes when you walk!" ”

As soon as he saw my face, a trace of nervousness flashed in his eyes, and he stammered and asked, "You...... Who are you? ”

As soon as he looked up, I could see his face clearly by the light, and I saw that his cheeks were flushed, his skin was dry, and his eyes were bloodshot, but his eyes were unusually bright. Just as he wanted to open his mouth to ask, the other party had already shouted: "Someone! Yes...... There are thieves! ”

Hey, don't ask and don't just characterize people, okay? I hurriedly waved my hand and said, "I'm not a thief, I'm a friend of your village chief!" ”

But his voice had already done its job, and soon two or three young men ran out of it, huddled in the aisle, and glared at me with a fierce eye.

"Really! The village chief didn't worry about you, so he let me take a look! I explained.

They were hesitating, but when they heard this, they hugged each other as if they had lost their doubts. As soon as I saw this, I grabbed the hem of the shirt of the man who had hit my chin, pulled him to my side, pulled him by the shoulder with my right hand, flipped him all over, and then pushed forward so hard that it collided with two or three people rushing in front of me.

Because the aisle was narrow, such a frontal impact and the people behind couldn't dodge, and the four fell together like dominoes.

But I didn't give them a chance to get up, I rushed up and pressed on the top, shouting: "Don't make trouble, I'm here to help you!" If you don't want to die here, you have to listen to me! ”
