Chapter 323: Chasing

PS: PS: Thank you LSL Bookworm for the monthly pass. This month's monthly ticket count has finally exceeded double digits, thank you for your support.

In fact, for a book with more than 2,000 words a day, I'm very happy to get a monthly pass. But I want to pursue a little bit of a monthly ticket to increase the number of monthly tickets every month.

Thank you all and let's take it a step further next month. All right?

I grabbed the fat man in surprise and asked, 'Someone is following you?' Who is it? ’

'This kid is so slippery, I didn't block him.' It should be the Hakka people in this village, who are more familiar with the terrain than me, don't try to catch him, it's good to get rid of him. ’

The fat man shook off my hand vigorously after speaking. 'Hurry up, I hope this kid didn't get up so early.' ’

Descending from where we lived, there was a winding stone path with steep stone steps. The morning air was fresh and quiet, and it was difficult to walk on the stone road without making a sound, and the fat man ran fast in front, and I tried my best to follow behind.

When I got to the paddy field at the bottom of the mountain, both of my knees started to ache. On the stone pavement, I had to use my knees to control the weight of my feet with each step, and I almost ran down with my knees bent.

I bent down and rubbed the emptiness of my knees, and the fat man looked back at the stockade behind me, shook his head at me, and turned to step on the ridge. The ridges of the paddy fields are very slippery, and there is no need or possibility to control the weight of the footing, so don't fall on your heels and be thankful that you will roll in the mud.

This paddy field is not large, and when the fat man and I ran to the other side of the paddy field, the sun had not yet come out. Although we didn't fall on our heels, our bodies were still covered in reddish-brown mud, and our faces were full of mud spots.

After the paddy field, there are five townhouse-like mountains, which are very imposing in front of me. However, we are not yet at the foot of the mountain, and we need to walk through a forest. I followed the fat man around the woods for a while, and found a spring of water bubbling out. Anyway, I washed my face, and the mud on my feet and body was also disposed of.

The fat man found a rock and climbed it to rest, it was a huge flat pebble that was large enough for two people to lie on and sleep. By this time, the sun had already shone into the village, but the mountain behind us blocked the sun and kept us in shadow.

I climbed the rocks. The fat man pressed my shoulders and motioned not to stand up. It was then that I realized that the stone was hidden in the woods, where through the gaps in the trees we could see the stockade and paddy fields on the opposite side, but it was difficult to spot us on the other side. The fat man was looking at the other side from the gap in the trees.

For a moment, the fat man shook his head at me. This kid is so slippery, I don't know how he got here, there is no shelter in this paddy field, and he is not a loach. You can drill through the water. ’

'He's coming?' I looked nervously to the left and right.

'How do I know. The fat man shrugged. I haven't felt him yet. I told you, I didn't see him, I just sensed that someone was following me through the clues. ’

I looked through the gap in the trees at the paddy field, which was flat and almost across the Hakka village. In other words, if you want to come from the stockade, you have to pass through the paddy fields, as long as this person follows us. We're going to see this man here. unless

I turned my head to the fat man.

Is it possible that the person who followed you did not live in the stockade. As he spoke, I stretched out my hand and pointed to the mountain behind me. But he dwelt on top of the hill. He saw you walking through the paddy fields from above. And then track you. ’

It can't be. The fat man said with a frown.

'Why can't it be?' Tell me your reasoning. ’

"Yesterday you also saw that from our bamboo building can only see a corner of the bamboo building on the top of the Gu, he can see our bamboo building but can't see the paddy field, it's a problem of angle. ’

You don't limit this person to the bamboo tower on the top of the mountain, as long as he doesn't live on the other side of the village, the five hills here may be his foothold. It's like this observation point you chose. He will choose a better observation point. What we should be thinking about now is why he's stalking you. What is his purpose. ’

The fat man touched the scalp where the green stubble grew from the roots. 'Did they shift their target?' Or is there some secret here. ’

I shook my head. 'It's impossible to shift the target, if they're going to deal with you, you're going to come out alone is the best chance, they have to try it anyway, it won't be as simple as just tracking. There's something here that you don't want us to know. Tang Yumo lives alone on the top of the Gu, which is incomprehensible. ’

The fat man turned his head to look at the five hills behind him. Pointing to the middle and the adjacent one, he said, 'I have been up to these two mountains, but of course I have not climbed to the top.' I didn't go up the other three mountains. Regardless of that person for now, I must see Tang Yumo today, I think I should be able to get some information from her mouth. ’

I nodded. "But I have to communicate with Tang Yumo about this, I don't want to see you scare the little girl to death." ’

She's not that vulnerable. The fat man said disdainfully. But seeing my insistent gaze looking directly at him, the fat man spread his hands helplessly. 'Well, I hope you can ask something, or you'll run away again today.' ’

This forest is very dense and full of mountains and rocks, which is indeed not suitable for reclamation and farming. From here, the terrain is already on an upward trend, as if it were the foundation of five mountains.

The two of us soon came to the foot of a mountain in the middle, and without resting, we started climbing directly. The weight was all on the fat man, I only had a pistol and a firewood knife in my waist, and the water bottle was still in the fat man's backpack. If the fat man can persevere, I will have no problem.

As I said, these five mountains are similar in shape, and they all have a gentle slope. The climb up from the gentle slope is easier, and it is easy to climb with bare hands without even using climbing tools. The gentle slopes are overgrown with plants, and trees as thick as waist are not uncommon. Looking up from afar, the green on the top of the mountain is more lush, and according to the fat man, there is an open field on the top of the mountain with denser vegetation.

After climbing some distance up the mountain, I was able to see the scenery behind the mountain, which was the first time I had seen the scenery behind the mountain.

It's a large forest, larger than we know it all, which is very different from the map made by the fat man. The fat man's original map, the isolated island in the swamp, centered on the entrance to and from the underground cave, does not seem to be the case at all.

I stopped the fat man and made a rest gesture.

The fat man "cut", threw the backpack on the ground, approached me and said, "Your physique is too poor, when this time is over, go back and practice you well." ”

I waved my hand and said, "It's not a matter of physique. I want to ask you how to draw that map, it's completely disproportionate, this forest occupies more than half, why is there no one in your map? ”

"Don't mention it. It's not that you don't know, you can't see what's behind you if you don't climb this side of the mountain. These mountains block the things behind the mountains tightly, and I climbed the mountain yesterday to find the forest behind me. ”

The fat man said as he turned to the dense rainforest.

However, the fat man's body suddenly froze, and he stretched out a finger and pointed to the edge of the rainforest and shouted, "There." ”

The sun had already risen completely, and the light that was shining down was dazzling, but I could only see the lush green on the tops of the trees, and the scene inside the forest was completely hidden under the canopy, and I could not see a little.

I don't know what the fat man saw, but I could see that the fat man jumped up all at once, grabbed his backpack, and rushed down the hill while carrying it over his shoulder.

"Keep up with me. Pursue. (To be continued......)
