Chapter 188: Tracking
The drizzle was disturbing and the breeze was intermittent. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Lin Ling walked on this sheep intestine path, letting the breeze with a drizzle, slapping on the face.
At this time, more than a month has passed since Lin Ling woke up. Lin Ling doesn't know why, these days are always depressed, and he can't lift his spirits at all.
Lin Ling felt as if he was indulging, but he couldn't find a reason at all. Even he couldn't believe that he would wander around like this.
Lin Ling had warned himself countless times in his heart that he couldn't be like this anymore and be decadent. But in the blink of an eye, his tired body will make him surrender.
Lin Ling felt that deep in his heart, there seemed to be a force suppressing him, not wanting him to cheer him up.
Drifting with the tide is like being immersed in a bay of muddy, muddy and dirty stagnant water. The more you struggle, the more you get contaminated with this filthy stagnant water. So much so that after getting out of the stagnant water, his body was still dirty.
Lin Ling felt like he was trapped in the dirty and rotten backwater. He wanted to struggle, and he struggled too. But the inertia of thought locked him firmly in the stagnant water, unable to turn over a single wave.
Lin Ling continued to walk in a trance. In this terrible rain, in this cool season. Slowly, slowly, aimlessly.
After some time, Lin Ling wandered and came to a desolate hill.
On the top of the hill, a few feet away, a large, charred clearing suddenly appeared. This discovery made Lin Ling's eyes light up, and he changed his languishing appearance in the past.
I think it was the rain that washed through, and these charred clearings left only some traces of carbon black. No matter how Lin Ling observed, he couldn't find any clues, guessing the accumulation before the clearing.
Lin Ling finally found a section of broken wood, half a foot long, and half scorched. Its cross-section is flat, and the burnt side is in the shape of a half-moon.
Seeing the shape of the half-moon on the scorched ground, Lin Ling's eyes suddenly lit up, and he carefully searched around the area where the broken wood was found.
The hard work paid off, and after kicking away several places in Lin Ling, and after the ashes of the charcoal black ground, he finally found the broken wood buried under the ashes, standing upright.
"It's really a fence!" Lin Ling saw this, and there was no doubt in his heart.
But who would lay a fence here, in the middle of the barren mountains and mountains? And why were these fences destroyed? And who destroyed them? Lin Ling could not guess the answer.
Standing at the top of the hill, Lin Ling looked around. I wanted to find some clues, but I couldn't find anything else except the green grass and low shrubs. Even the birds, insects and beasts, Lin Ling has never found one.
Lin Ling was on the top of the hill, and he stood for a long time before he sighed. Towards the place of Ace Academy, I walked down. It's not that he doesn't want to care, he just thinks of the 'nine-tailed cat' and thinks of the furnace ding.
The sky is long, and the sky is blue. The rain that had been falling for a long time finally stopped. The sun slowly sprinkled and shone on the body, although it still could not dispel the slight chill, but it was finally in the direction of the warm land, one step closer.
Lin Ling leisurely descended the hill and slowly walked on the road leading to Ace Academy.
But after walking a few steps, Lin Ling sighed: "I was born to be busy!" Lin Ling immediately turned around and walked towards the hill.
It is also strange to say that when Lin Ling walked towards the hills, he was in high spirits and changed his previous decadence.
Lin Ling returned to the hill and immediately began to turn up the ashes. He flipped it slowly and carefully, for fear of missing a little, useful information.
But it seems that this hill has been burned too badly. Lin Ling searched for a long time, but he didn't find it, and there were useful clues.
It's just that when he was turning over the ashes somewhere, Lin Ling actually smelled a hint of sweetness. It's just that this smell is fleeting, but Lin Ling doesn't dare to be too sure.
On the top of the hill, Lin Ling did not find it, which is very useful information. I was thinking about the bottom of the hill, wandering around, to see if I could find any clues.
But just after Lin Ling took a few steps out, Lin Ling suddenly turned around, stared at the footprints left by himself, and looked at it for a while.
"Why didn't I think of that?" Lin Ling suddenly jumped up with joy. Immediately turning back to the scorched area, Lin Ling carefully pushed all the ashes away, carefully looking at the ash-covered dirt.
"It's a horseshoe print. Look at this mark, this horse riding is going ...... Go in the northwest direction!" Lin Ling checked a few more places and found that this time the footprints and the direction of departure indicated were all northwest.
Lin Ling looked to the northwest and muttered, "Lancang Empire!" and then took a step.
After the rain, the sky is clear, and the sun is just right. Looking around, the green grass is green, and the mood of the forest ridge is becoming more and more happy.
Although the day before yesterday, the mark of the horse riding land was found, but Lin Ling had no intention of worrying at all. He had only gone to find out why they had burned down the hill.
"Nine times out of ten, it could be a misunderstanding!" The longer Lin Ling searched for it, the more he agreed with this idea.
Finally, after following Linling for half a month, I finally saw a large number of carriages and horses, walking in the northwest direction.
Lin Ling looked at their outfits, which were very caravans, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"Just go and ask, and I'll be able to go back to the academy!" Lin Ling thought to himself.
But when Lin Ling got closer to the convoy, he began to be cautious. Because he found that the convoy was too quiet.
During the whole process, only the sound of cars and horses sounded. The whole team did not resemble a caravan, but it resembled a disciplined army.
At the same time, Lin Ling noticed that around the convoy, there were horses back and forth, patrolling non-stop. The horses on which they rode were tall and mighty, and their eyes were like lightning. Between one hoof and one step, it shows its majestic nature. At first glance, it is a treasure horse that has experienced the battlefield and has been trained for a long time.
Lin Ling then towered over the weeds, so that he could barely hide his body and not expose himself.
Lin Ling was very curious about this group of soldiers disguised as a caravan, and was determined to follow them and find out their purpose.
Lin Ling was especially puzzled that they were now in the land of the Lancang Empire. If these soldiers were the men and horses of the Lancang Empire, why did they disguise themselves as caravans? If it weren't for the soldiers of the Lancang Empire, what would be the identity of this group of well-trained people? What is the purpose of their coming to the Lancang Empire?
In fact, Lin Ling was more concerned about whether they were the ones who burned the hill, why did they burn the hill? This is the purpose of Lin Ling following them. Lin Ling just wanted to get rid of it, and this curse was generally decadent and weak.
Lin Ling has been following, this disciplined caravan. The longer they followed, the more curious Lin Ling became about their purpose, especially after Lin Ling found out that they were bypassing the important town of the Lancang Empire. (To be continued.) )
