There is a creek in the Grand Canyon, but when the rainy season comes, the creek becomes a river.

In the middle of the Grand Canyon, there is a low-lying lake where the water from the rivers on both sides of the canyon gathers, and it is said that there is a crack less than a foot wide at the edge of the lake, and if the water level of the lake exceeds the crack, all the overflowing river wine will leak into the crack.

The lakes of this Grand Canyon are surrounded by lush herbaceous plants and clusters of low shrubs, and the valley is infested with few wild animals except for a few pheasants and hares.

The footprints on the river beach were clear, and a young hunter in the team squatted beside the footprints, carefully observed them for a moment, and then looked up and said to everyone:

"There are only five people's footprints, no horses, and it doesn't seem to be going very fast, I don't know what happened in their ranks, it seems that someone is injured!"

The young hunter named Abu was dressed in a fur coat, but he was shirtless, carrying not only a hunting bow, but also a knife and a trap around his waist, his hair was disheveled, and his eyes were bright, and he liked to grab and put it under his nose to smell whatever it was, even a pinch of sand or a leaf.

The young guide from Diego Village said, "What do you say they want to do when they dive into the Grand Canyon?" ”

Abu said to the young guide, "I probably want to find out the exact location of your village, didn't the village chief say it!" The bandit group has sacked three noble estates in the southern part of the city of Highlandza. ”

The young guide looked innocent and said earnestly, "But there is nothing in our village except the wheat that is about to be harvested, and even if it is for the sake of wheat, it will be at least a month later!" ”

"So these robbers are just exploring the way, not attacking in a big way!" Abu stood up, patted the sand on his hands, and said to the young guide and the young people around him: "The same is true when the wolves hunt, first they look around for their prey, and when they find the prey, they will not rush to hunt, but will gather the wolves, lay a large net, and slowly encircle the prey into a large net, they are the most patient hunters, and they can always grasp the best time to hunt." ”

When the young guide heard Abu say this, he immediately showed a panicked look and hurriedly asked, "You mean these robbers will be like wolves?" These people came to our village to step on something? ”

"It should be about the same!" Abu the Hunter nodded, in fact, he thought the same thing.

A young man next to him asked, "Abu, have you hunted sand wolves?" ”

Hunter Abu shook his head a little embarrassed, and said with a look of regret: "I have only hunted ordinary wolves, and they are more cunning than I imagined. ”

"Wow......"

When everyone heard Abu say this, they all let out a soft cry of amazement, and Abu looked very simple, but said humbly: "This is nothing, the sand wolf is the most powerful wolf pack in this neighborhood, I advise you all, when you meet a sand wolf pack in the wild, you must remember to run as far as you can."

Surdak walked behind these people and thought: It's good that there are no young people from Wall Village in the team, otherwise Surdak will definitely reveal the fact that Surdak hunted the sand wolf at this time.

The young guide of Diego Village stood at the front of the team and said to everyone: "Let's hurry up, if there are only a few of these robbers, there are so many of us, we can consider catching them." ”

Surdak stood next to the bloomers and couldn't help but ask the bloomers, "Recently, has anyone in your village gone missing?" ”

"I haven't heard of that......," Bloomers replied.

A young man next to him suddenly said: "Speaking of this, there is really someone missing in our village, probably the day before yesterday, everyone thought that he went to the forest in the mountain pass to pick up mountain goods, and he didn't take it seriously." ”

When the first group of twenty-five young people walked to the center of the Grand Canyon, they finally saw the lake in the canyon, which was extremely low-lying, and when the stream flowed here, they would encounter several sections of the river with great drops, and these sections of the river had some beautiful waterfalls, and now these small streams were slightly lacking in water, so many of these waterfalls were almost dry.

The Abu stopped the group again, and he crouched alertly beside a bush and pushed the grass away, seeing some messy footprints again.

"I have a feeling that they might be nearby......" Abu, the young hunter, told the group.

The guide who had led the way in the group said, "Let's spread out and look around, be careful not to alarm them." ”

……

The four robbers had to stop near the lake in the middle of the Grand Canyon because the villager they had captured from the village of Diego had a spear piercing his leg with the sharp tip of the spear, and the robbers did not try to pull the tip off, not only did they not pull the tip off, but they tied the villager with hemp rope.

The villager had blood stains on the corners of his mouth, and he was obviously beaten badly, but the villager's struggle was still very effective.

After walking for most of the day, the robbers had just reached the middle of the Grand Canyon, and it was on the south shore of the lake, and several robbers had to stop again.

The leader of the robbers kicked the limping villager to the ground, and said with a look of resentment: "With this guy, we are afraid that we will have to walk in the Grand Canyon for three days before it is possible to get out, or we will interrogate them directly here......"

The other three robbers did not object, so the leader of the robbers said, "Since there is no objection, then the matter is settled." ”

With that, he took out a parchment scroll from his bosom and walked over to the man who was lying on the ground and groaning. In front of the villager who was singing, he unfolded the parchment, brought it to the villager, first slapped it down, sobered up the villager who was tied behind his back, and then smashed the villager in the stomach with a hard fist, and then handed the parchment portrait to the villager in front of him, and asked him in a tough tone:

"Have you ever seen this woman in your village?"

The villager was also beaten quite miserably along the way, especially the big one. The piercing wound in his leg made it almost impossible for him to walk, and the four robbers dragged him all the way here.

The villager barely opened his swollen peach-like eyes, glanced at the unfamiliar face on the portrait, and shook his head weakly.

"Think about it again......"

The villager shook his head.

The bandit leader scratched his head with some annoyance, and no longer continued to ask, but directly reached out and lifted the villager's collar, and while he was unprepared, the dagger in his hand pierced the villager's heart accurately, and then the villager's corpse was thrown by the lake.

The bandit leader wiped the blood stains of the dagger on the villagers, and said in a somewhat irritated mood: "Let's go back the same way, and then go to that village to catch a villager and come back, if he also says so, it means one thing, the target is not in Diego Village......"
