Chapter 25: Divergence

Jiang Han finished eating the two wild Huai Mountains, clapped his hands and stood up, and looked at the road down the mountain, but there was still no figure.

She simply went to look for wild vegetables for a while, and prepared to bring them back for dinner in the evening. She also saw some mushrooms, and although she was very greedy, she didn't dare to pick them indiscriminately. After walking for a while, she found a small hole in the earth on a ridge, and she was very happy, wondering if there would be any rabbits or voles hiding in it, so she excitedly pulled the thatch and lit a fire to smoke it, but there was nothing.

She was having a good time alone when it suddenly rained, and she remembered that her mission to the mountains had been forgotten for a long time......

She was suddenly a little embarrassed, hurriedly put the freshly tied wild vegetables into the rattan net, hurried back to the side of the mountain road, found a slightly larger tree and quickly climbed up, and squatted again while sheltering from the rain.

I don't know how long it was, but the rain had stopped, and the late spring wind was blowing lazily and drowsy, and her drenched clothes were half dry, and the sky was getting darker.

She thought that she should at least be in Youzhong now, she should have caught someone, why did everyone seem to forget that there was another one of her squatting on the mountainside?

She climbed down from the tree, and walked around the mountain road boringly, hesitating whether to go down the mountain directly, when suddenly there were hurried footsteps and faint voices from the bottom of the mountain, and she quickly ducked down and hid behind the rocks on the side of the road.

After a while, the person approached, it turned out to be the black and white, she stood up, waved her hand and shouted: "Lord Shen, little white-faced boy, I'm here!" You're finally here, but I'm going to die! ”

"What little white-faced boy? My name is Lu Tong! Lu Tong jumped in front of Jiang Han a few times, raised the sword with the sheath in his hand and knocked it lightly on her head.

"You still dare to knock me, we agreed to guard here together, why didn't you come until now?" Jiang Han dodged his sword and jumped out of the way to accuse angrily.

Lu Tong touched his nose with an embarrassed face: "I'm helping out in the town, I've been busy......"

"Wild vegetables are good." Lord Shen, who had a black face, glanced at the two of them and suddenly said loudly.

Jiang Han blocked the wild vegetables hanging on his waist, and his face was embarrassed: "Anyway, it's boring anyway!" I've been squatting here alone for a long time, and I haven't seen a ghost. ”

Lord Shen listened to her defense, and his dark eyes looked straight at her.

In an instant, Jiang Han felt that the air around him was about to condense, and hurriedly turned sideways to avoid his gaze, facing Lu Gongzi, who was easier to speak, and asked, "The person has already been found, right?" Are you here to tell me that I don't have to squat? ”

"No, I've been wandering around the gates, the docks, and the main points all afternoon, and I haven't found any clues. The method you thought of also mobilized some people to help find it, but so far there is still no news. Lu Gongzi looked lost.

Then he said: "When Shen Shi, Guangde also deliberately asked those people to go from house to house to search and preach, trying to disturb the rules of those people. If they hadn't fled before you reported the crime, they would have been panicked and would have looked for an opportunity to escape. ”

"So this must be the only way for them to escape?"

"Yes! In addition, the first year of junior high school also brought a few trustworthy people to quietly search in the middle of the mountain to see if they were hiding in a corner for the time being to avoid the limelight. Today we must catch turtles in an urn......"

Lord Shen raised his hand to interrupt Lu Tong's words and asked, "Are you sure no one will go up the mountain in the afternoon?" ”

"I didn't ...... No! Jiang Han's eyes flickered, but he still nodded firmly.

Lord Shen stared at her suspiciously for a long time.

After a while, Jiang Han felt that the firmness on his face was about to be untenable, so he withdrew his gaze and turned his head to scan the surroundings.

This black-faced Bao Gong No. 2, when he stares at people without saying a word, is really scary!

"Separate ambushes!" Lord Shen didn't know Jiang Han's belly slander at all, stretched out his hand and pointed to the two positions, and ordered them to go to the ambush, and then he jumped on a big stone and hid himself.

Not to mention, these three positions are indeed the three best ambush points on this road.

The three of them were ambushed separately, but Jiang Han didn't dare to be half-hearted this time, and crawled honestly, staring at the road ahead motionlessly.

But unfortunately, time passed minute by minute, and there was still no movement on the road.

It was already dark, the night wind was blowing, the moon was invisible, and only occasionally a little starlight peeked out of the wind-blown clouds. Although the light is not so light that you can't reach out and lose sight of your fingers, you can't see the scene two feet away.

Lu Tong finally couldn't help it, he ran to Lord Shen to ask for a plan, but he was driven back.

After a long, long time, it is estimated that it has been three watches, and Lord Shen finally can't stay anymore. He stepped out of the shelter, his hand on his forehead, and stopped and looked at the mountain road.

After a while, he called Jiang Han and Lu Tong out, stared at Jiang Han with an unhappy face, and asked, "Are you sure that no one came before?" ”

Jiang Han was stared at by her, his eyes kept dodging, and he said, "It should be, there should be no one!" ”

"Is there any?" Seeing her like this, Lord Shen's voice became even colder.

"I, I don't know ......" Jiang Han swallowed his saliva, and continued: "For a while, I was hungry......

"Okay, the thief must have been on the mountain at that time!" Lu Tong angrily raised his sword and struck Jiang Han's head again, this time it was not light, "You, you are really more than enough to lose!" Keep an eye on what you're doing! ”

"What's the matter with me! Originally, the two of us were guarding here, why didn't you come for a long time, is it easy for me to stay here hungry alone?! Where were you then? ”

Jiang Han felt extremely aggrieved in her heart, originally she was just righteous and brave to help, but now she can't catch the kidnapper but asks her to take the pot, what is this called? !

"Alright, let's go back." Although Lord Shen's voice was calm, it was also this calmness that made people very frustrated, and it was obvious that he also agreed with Lu Tong's statement.

He has been here for two months, and for the first time, he has shown his skills, and he has thought about everything in a comprehensive way, but he has been destroyed by her anthill for thousands of miles, and he must have been very devastated, and he must have regretted believing her!

Master Shen walked down without looking back, Jiang Han looked at his figure, his heart was very uncomfortable, and he came up stubbornly: "No, you can't go!" How do you know that they went up the mountain in the afternoon, in case their plan was to wait for you to retreat in the middle of the night before escaping? I've been waiting so long anyway, why can't I wait any longer! ”

Hearing her words, Lu Tong only glanced back at her, but Lord Shen at the front seemed to be deaf.

Seeing that her opinion was completely ignored, she raised her voice and asked unconvinced, "The two of you who were guarding the cliff outside the city have no news back, right?" ”

Lu Gongzi nodded: "No, they are still guarding there." ”

"So, those people must not have escaped yet!"

These words finally slowed down Lord Shen's footsteps.

"You've said before that there's more than one path on this mountain, and you only know one, so why are you so sure they didn't run away from the other paths?"

"I mean, if there is, I don't know if there is one, in case there is no ......."

"Go down the mountain and change someone to guard." Although Lord Shen was not persuaded, he also made a compromise.

Jiang Han had no choice but to follow them down the mountain in frustration.

But the more she walked, the more unwilling she became, thinking that she had been bored on the mountain for half a day and half the night, and now she was going to return like this......

She suddenly stopped, and said resolutely to the backs of the two people in front of her: "You guys go first, I won't leave like this!" I'm going to check it, if the kidnapper is on the mountain in the afternoon, there will always be traces left, and it rained in the afternoon! ”

Dropping these words, she didn't care what the other two thought, and turned around and went back up the mountain again.

After a few steps, she struggled to pull out a small tree three fingers thick from the bushes by the side of the road, and leaned down to pull out the dagger her father had given her from her leggings, cut off the branches, and cut off all her short hems, wrapped them around the branches, lit them with flint, and lifted them away from the main road and turned into another path.

Lu Tong was dumbfounded when he saw her series of actions, and Lord Shen's gaze was also deep.

The two of them stood in place and saw that the glowing fire turned a corner again, and was about to disappear, Lu Tong immediately said: "This kid, he is really bold!" You go back first! I'm not worried, I'm going to check it out! ”

When he was closed, he hurried after him.
