17. Dangerous Circumstances
The golden crow hung high, hanging in the air and emitting a scorching light towards the earth, and the scorching air waves made the big men in the convoy show their tired expressions one by one.
"Big brother, let's rest for a while after walking for such a long time, there is still an hour to reach the village, there is no need to be in such a hurry," a big man in front of the convoy said to the leader of the team.
The captain stopped and looked at the tired crowd and nodded, "Rest in place for ten minutes and continue to hurry!"
"Okay!" the big man said happily when he heard the order, and immediately shouted to the convoy behind, "Rest in place, sit down and rest!"
Suddenly, the entire convoy stopped, some people rested, some people fed water to the cattle pulling the cart, some people solved physiological problems, and so on.
Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and the convoy continued on its way.
It's just that I haven't walked a few steps when I hear someone running quickly behind me, shouting in panic as he runs
"The captain is not good, the captain is not good!
"What's going on?" asked the captain of the team leader, whose face changed, and pulled the big man over him.
"Captain, the dog said that he was going to the toilet when he was resting, but he hasn't come back yet" Dahan briefly said the matter.
"Have you sent someone around to look for it?" said Da Han in a serious tone.
"I've found it, I've searched all around, but I can't see anyone!" said the man with a panicked face.
At this moment, everyone's faces became ugly, the surrounding area is wilderness as far as the eye can see, standing on the top of the convoy can see through the surroundings, it is impossible for a living person to find it, unless... Everyone dared not imagine.
Xiaoshan's face became a little pale, he knew the dog baby in the mouth, he was about the same age as him, and he had participated in the convoy several times to be considered a veteran, and he was the first time to go to the town with the escort team, so he followed the captain, and he had heard the people in the team talk about the experience of various teams before, including the case of the disappearance of the team members for no reason, but he didn't expect to be met by him today.
The captain's face is also very bad, Xiaohe Village is located in the middle of nowhere, and the nearest town to them is also sixty or seventy miles away, except for a black stone village, there are wilderness mountains, I don't know how many beasts and monsters are hidden in it, and the escort team will be attacked by various beasts every time they travel, so it is very rare for the escort team to travel only twice a year.
He was originally quite happy that there were no casualties when he came out this time, but he heard such news when he was about to get home.
"The team continues to move forward, come with a small group of people, remember to bring me the hounds with you!" the captain said with a serious expression, and then said to the messenger in a cold voice, "And you, come with me!"
The person who reported the news had a bitter face, and he was helpless.
The population of Xiaohe Village is nearly more than 1,500 people, and the number of escort team is about 100 people, this time the big man who came out to lead the team brought out more than 50 people, this time he took a team of ten people and more than 40 people enough to control the entire convoy, as long as the rest of the people return to the village safely, the big man can rest assured.
"Captain, I'll go with you, too!" Xiao Shan hesitated for a moment and finally said to the big man, but his pale face looked funny.
The captain smiled and patted Xiaoshan on the shoulder
"You stay in the team, if we haven't come back in half an hour, you can go back to the village and bring someone to rescue us," said the couple and left.
Watching the captain leave, Xiaoshan stood in place and was stunned, not knowing whether to catch up or not.
"Don't worry, there will be no problem with the captain, they will definitely be able to come back safely, let's go" The big man standing next to the hill said with a smile.
Hearing his companion's words, Xiaoshan breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly prayed in his heart that they would be safe.
"Where did the dog baby go missing?" asked the captain.
"It's around there, but we've all looked for nothing," the messenger said helplessly, pointing to the dense grass not far away.
"Go, go!" Xiong Li tightened the big knife in his hand and led the way.
"Everyone, be on guard, if the archers see something wrong, shoot me immediately!"
"Yes!" the three men with bows and arrows nodded hurriedly.
The grass and trees in the wilderness were luxuriant, and some of the weeds grew taller than people, and eleven people walked cautiously into the grass but found no trace of the dog.
"Captain, there are footprints here!" said a big man, pointing to the grass that was lying not far away.
"Let's go, go and see"
Everyone walked over and found footprints on the ground stretching into the grove in the distance.
Xiongli's brows furrowed into a Sichuan character, what they were most afraid of when they were walking was to encounter a small forest on the road, because they didn't know what demons and monsters were hidden inside.
"This dog can't find death, so he actually drills into the woods"
Xiongli's tone was not good, not to mention that he only brought ten people, even if he took a hundred people and threw them into the woods, he couldn't see a single figure.
"Then what should we do Captain, do we go back?"
Xiongli muttered for a moment and said, "Life wants to see people and death to see corpses, we must know what happened, everyone is divided into three teams of four people, each team has a hunting dog, don't act alone, shout out loudly when you encounter a situation, and others will soon come over to know!"
"Yes!" the crowd responded.
"We'll only be in for 10 minutes, and if we can't find anyone in 10 minutes, we'll get out immediately, okay, let's all go in now."
With a wave of his hand, the crowd soon entered the woods and disappeared.
Five minutes passed... Ten minutes passed... Half an hour has passed... But no one came out again.
A large bale suddenly protruded from the silent field path, and then the bale cracked open and slowly protruded from the inside, a human head.
Xu Tianqi looked around curiously, and found that he had unconsciously run into the wilderness again, and this time it was quite far away from Xiaohe Village, and he could only see a little shadow of Xiaohe Village when he stood there.
"Damn! where did you run, how did you run so far, damn it has to go back," Xu Tianqi said depressedly.
Suddenly, Xu Tianqi sniffed his nose, this is the smell of human beings, hey? There are still human beings in this wilderness, and there are quite a few of them.
Sure enough, when he turned his head and looked into the distance, he found a convoy coming slowly, and Xu Tianqi fell into a surprise.
"Eh, hello!" Xu Tianqi waved as he ran over, and arrived at the side of the convoy in a few minutes.
"What person!" the big man at the head of the convoy looked at Xu Tianqi vigilantly.
"Hey, hello, I don't have any malicious intent, I'm from Xiaohe Village in front, I just happened to see you when I came out to relax, where are you from?" Xu Tianqi waved his hand to signal the other party not to be nervous.
Who knew that as soon as the words were finished, the big men of all the teams pulled out their big knives and pointed at Xu Tianqi, and surrounded Xu Tianqi at once.
Xu Tianqi looked confused, I'll go, what's the matter? I just said a word, you just pointed a big knife at me, is there any heavenly reason?
The big man who took the lead sneered, "You said that you are from Xiaohe Village, why don't I know that there is such a character as you in our Xiaohe Village, dare to pretend to be a person from our village, you can find death, say who you are!"
Xu Tianqi blinked innocently, and he also met the main master, "I am really from Xiaohe Village, I fell into your village a few days ago, I don't believe you can ask when you go back"
"Editor, then editor, our escort team has only been out for less than a week and you have been in trouble in our village, this is too coincidental, and why are you not staying in the village at noon and running to this barren mountain and wilderness!"
Xu Tianqi looked bitter, I am also very innocent.
"Let's tie him up and get back to the village and deal with him!" the big man said to the crowd next to him.
Just finished talking and looked back, hey, what about the special person?
