The one who quickly ran into the forest was none other than the Mosuo man who stopped the car on the road when he went out to buy sheep yesterday morning.

No, it's just what people think they are Mosuo.

The Mosuo people are not numerous, and most of them do not speak Chinese.

But just now, the man slipped and fell on the trail, and he scolded angrily, but it was an authentic Chinese dialect.

Yesterday he looked ragged and unkempt, but today he has changed his outfit, as if he has completely changed a person.

However, yesterday was considered a face-to-face contact, Zhang Shouzhong may not have paid much attention to it, but Wang Mingyuan remembered it.

Even though there were hundreds of meters apart, Wang Mingyuan still saw it clearly.

His current eyesight, after those two enhancements, is much stronger than ordinary people.

"Yesterday?" Zhang Shouzhong was a little puzzled.

"Which Mosuo man I met on the road, it seems that he is not a Mosuo person, nor is he crazy or stupid, he is pretending." Wang Mingyuan said: "I'm still wondering, how could a group of almost primitive people living in such an isolated place as Lugu Lake come to such a far place. ”

Now that he thinks about it, this person is believed to be a Mosuo person, and it is estimated that it was just a random rumor by some people.

The unintelligible words that the man said in his mouth should be just a cover-up.

"This person is very suspicious, why did he come to this place?"

Zhang Shouzhong frowned: "Could it be another Annan spy?" ”

"I don't know, but it's likely!" Wang Mingyuan couldn't be sure with such a distant glance: "Let's catch up and take a look!" ”

As he spoke, he ran towards it.

"Wait a minute......" Zhang Shouzhong shouted: "You can't be so reckless, we don't have any guys now, in case we catch up with someone, there is really a problem, if he has a gun in his hand, it will not be easy to deal with." ”

Wang Mingyuan casually took out the pistol from the carry-on space, turned around and raised at Zhang Shouzhong: "I have this!" ”

Zhang Shouzhong walked in front of him in a few steps and glanced at the beautiful pistol in Wang Mingyuan's hand: "I haven't seen you use it before!" ”

Wang Mingyuan smiled and said casually: "I got it when I went to Mangxian once. ”

He didn't want to talk about the process of getting the gun.

Zhang Shouzhong didn't ask much.

In his opinion, Wang Mingyuan knew people from the army and the armed forces, and it was normal for him to get a pistol.

Although the gun was not in his hands, it also gave him confidence.

There was no need for Wang Mingyuan to say more, he immediately stepped forward and ran towards the mountain road.

Wang Mingyuan followed closely and easily followed.

It had been raining heavily for so long, and it was wet everywhere inside and outside the mountains.

Rain-soaked mountains make it easy to leave footprints.

Not to mention Zhang Shouzhong, even Wang Mingyuan can see it clearly.

The two of them shuttled quickly through the mountain forest, and it was quiet inside, but the rain on the leaves was dripping, and the leaves below crackled.

Long breathing, brisk steps, the two followed the footprints, and quickly climbed over the two mountain beams.

After descending a gentle slope in the forest, there is a dirt road that leads to another production team.

"There must be something wrong with this person, he is too cunning, he ran so far in one run!" Zhang Shouzhong gasped slightly, looked at the footprints on the road and said with a smile: "He was afraid that we wouldn't chase after him, so he left instead." ”

"Let's move quickly, it won't be long before it's getting late, and if it's dark, things won't be easy." Wang Mingyuan urged.

Even if his body has been strengthened, but he has been busy for so long, and he has not eaten or drunk, Rao is Wang Mingyuan feels a little unbearable, let alone Zhang Shouzhong.

Quickly figure things out is the right way.

The two chased along the way, but Zhang Shouzhong looked at the river on the side of the road at this time.

"The footprints are gone here, it looks like they have gone down the river, if you keep walking down the river, you can't chase it!" Zhang Shouzhong was a little troubled.

Wang Mingyuan was also looking at the footprints, and he did go down into the river.

"If it hadn't rained, the river would have been clear, and you could have judged the direction by the traces left on the sediment at the bottom of the river, but it had just rained......

Zhang Shouzhong shook his head as he looked at the dirty water rolling in the river.

In such a place, he himself was completely unsure.

"Look along the coast, I don't believe he hasn't been out of the river." Wang Mingyuan looked around and whispered.

The more cautious this person is, the more it feels wrong.

Looking at the whereabouts of this way, he is too cunning and too careful.

"That's all there is to it!" Zhang Shouzhong nodded.

The two went down to the river, and Wang Mingyuan ran directly across the river, which was less than three meters wide.

Along both sides of the riverbank, I searched all the way up, but I only found two or three hundred meters, but I still didn't find it.

"Could it be down the river?" Wang Mingyuan asked.

"Possibly!" Zhang Shouzhong nodded.

The two turned back down the river and walked down more than 200 meters, but still didn't find it.

Lose someone!

They are all aware of this.

Seeing that the sky is getting dark, if you continue to look for it, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find results.

"Forget it, let's go back!"

I don't know where to go, how can I find it?

The two returned to the road, led by Zhang Shouzhong, and returned in search of the mountain road.

The dirt road is muddy and winding, but no matter what, it's faster than going into the mountains.

These roads are very familiar to Zhang Shouzhong, who was born and raised in the mountains and often runs the mountains.

In order to rush back to Zhangjiaao as soon as possible, both of them were in a hurry. After turning a mountain bend, Zhang Shouzhong suddenly pulled Wang Mingyuan back: "Go back and gather people, let's come over early tomorrow morning." ”

Wang Mingyuan frowned slightly: "Such an alert person, if he knows that he has been discovered by us, I am afraid that he will not stay longer, the three holes of the cunning rabbit, if you want to find it, it is very difficult, and it is very likely that by tomorrow, you will go somewhere else." ”

Zhang Shouzhong laughed: "I just remembered a place, according to his direction, it is very likely that he will settle in that place." With so much rain, it's not easy to walk at night, and it won't be so easy to leave. ”

】

"Third uncle, what place are you talking about?" Wang Mingyuan asked suspiciously.

"The river we just looked, going up, over a mountain beam, there is a place full of stones on the half-slope, and there is a cave in that place, where in the early years there lived a group of bandits, it was a bandit's nest, and in this mountain, where you can shelter from the rain and hide, you can count the most suitable place, the least easy for people to find." Zhang Shouzhong said.

"Bandit den?" Wang Mingyuan suddenly became interested.

I've been here for so long, and it's the first time I've heard of such a place.

"At that time, where there was a road, there were traders coming and going, and it was precisely because of this that there were strongmen who gathered to block the road and rob passing merchants. These people are quite well-behaved, only for merchants, but not for the surrounding villages.

They didn't gather there all the time, but often moved around in different places, fighting once at intervals, and then they were exterminated in this mountain. ”

Zhang Shouzhong briefly explained the situation.

The two didn't stay any longer and rushed towards Zhangjiaao.

Along the way, they took a trail and approached the road, and when it was dark, Wang Mingyuan and Zhang Shouzhong returned to the Zhiqing Point.

Zhang Shouyi and Zhang Shouli were waiting in the courtyard of the educated youth point, and when they saw the two coming back, they breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Why did you two go for so long? It's raining so hard, and the water in the river is getting bigger, I'm afraid something will happen to you. Zhang Shouyi blamed.

The well-intentioned reproach is also heartwarming.

"Uncle, aren't we coming back?" Wang Mingyuan opened the kitchen door as he spoke: "Sit in the house." ”

"You two, hurry up and change your clothes, this wet clothes have been wrapped around your body for a day, and you can't stand the iron beating." Zhang Shouli urged.

"It's okay, I'm in good health!" Wang Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Hurry up and change, I'm young now, I don't care about anything, and when I get older, rheumatism, gout or something, as soon as it breaks out, it will be a crime." Zhang Shouyi also urged.

Of course Wang Mingyuan can listen to this kind of good words, wet clothes are really uncomfortable wrapped around his body, he hurriedly went to change, went out of the kitchen door, and said to Zhang Shouzhong, who was rushing home: "Third uncle, come over after changing your clothes, cook and eat here." ”

"Good!"

Zhang Shouzhong answered and hurried back to the house.

He hadn't come back from the farm until now.

One day of heavy rain, his daughter-in-law in confinement followed her into the field to help, and her daughter was handed over to Zhang Guanghua to lead, and he was in a hurry to go home to see.

Wang Mingyuan went back to the bedroom, found a set of dry clothes from the locked cabinet to change into, and when he returned to the kitchen, Zhang Shouyi and Zhang Shouli had already burned firewood in the fire.

He dragged a stool directly and roasted it by the fire, until his somewhat cold and numb body was completely warmed up, and then he began to cook.

Taking advantage of this time, he took the lantern to the vegetable field, got a lot of vegetables back, and when it was cleaned, Zhang Shouzhong and his son came over.

Zhang Guanghua, this kid, is indeed a lot sensible, and he takes good care of his petite sister, always carrying it on his back and walking around the house.

The little guy slept very sweetly in his back pocket, almost a month, and the whole person's skin was fully stretched, ruddy and pink, very cute.

After the rice was cooked, Wang Mingyuan directly took a piece of ham, washed it, cut it into thin slices, fried it in a pot, added water to make a soup, and then after the water boiled, put in the cleaned vegetables and boiled it, and made a spicy dipping water.

For the first time, after pouring the soaking wine concocted by Kang Langxiang for a few people, he himself poured about one or two.

After a cold day, there is no more comfortable way to eat hot pot around the fire.

Although the dishes are simple, it seems that as long as you eat here at Wang Mingyuan, it is as delicious as at home, and even Zhang Guanghua, who had already eaten dinner, sent his sister home and ran back to eat two more bowls.

At this age, the stomach seems to be a bottomless pit, very well eaten, but hungry very quickly.

After eating, Wang Mingyuan gave Brother Zhang Shouzhong a circle of cigarettes, and told Zhang Shouyi and Zhang Shouli the reason why the two came back slowly.

The two uncles' eyes widened suddenly.

are all saying that Wang Mingyuan and Zhang Shouzhong are reckless.

However, they agree with Zhang Shouzhong's hiding place.

After a little discussion, it was decided that tomorrow morning, a few militiamen from Zhangjiaao would be summoned early to go and check.

The next morning, Wang Mingyuan got up very early, and several young hunters from Zhangjiaao and Zhang Shouzhong's brother and brother Zhang Shouzhong all gathered, took their guys, and rushed towards the location of the bandits' den.

The distance was not very far, and it took about half an hour to reach the opposite side of the cave that Zhang Shouzhong said.

From a distance, the cave is located halfway up the mountain, full of craggy rocks, overgrown with trees, and only a small path winds up, making it a good place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

"How did you breach this place?" Wang Mingyuan asked with some curiosity.

"Directly bombarded with artillery, a group of bandits, who cares about them, I heard that it was two shells that hit it, killing three, and the remaining two dared to resist and surrendered directly."

Zhang Shouzhong said with a smile: "Compared with the troops, just those few people, the scum is not worthy." ”

Speaking of the might of the troops, Zhang Shouzhong looked very proud.

"Okay, take advantage of the dawn and touch it to see!" Zhang Shouyi urged.

Zhang Shouzhong nodded, and walked forward with a gun on his waist.

Zhang Shouyi followed closely, but was pulled by Wang Mingyuan: "Uncle, let me go with the third uncle." You stay and lead them, and if you see something wrong with the cave opposite, you can arrange to deal with it, but if it's me, I can't do it. ”

"You ......" Zhang Shouyi hesitated.

"Don't worry, I've been practicing with Liu Li for a while, and when it comes to physical fitness, he doesn't think he's under him, and he has some experience in his fists and feet recently, no problem." Wang Mingyuan knew what he was worried about.

"Don't worry, big brother, Xiao Wang is powerful now." Zhang Shouzhong also turned around and said.

With Zhang Shouzhong's words, Zhang Shouyi finally nodded reassuringly.

Wang Mingyuan raised his five or six chongs, followed behind Zhang Shouzhong, both of them were cats on their waists, and they moved quickly, especially when they saw Wang Mingyuan walking through the mountains, rocks and trees, as flexible as a civet cat, Zhang Shouyi, who was watching from afar, couldn't help sighing: "I haven't seen how Xiao Wang has practiced, when I first saw it, it was soft and collapsed, and it was hard to swing a hoe." Why have you gotten so powerful now? ”

As an old hunter, he saw from Wang Mingyuan that the level was far beyond that of ordinary hunters, and even Zhang Shouzhong felt a lot worse than Wang Mingyuan.

You must know that Zhang Shouzhong's skills are already top-notch among several nearby production teams.

Wang Mingyuan didn't expect that when he and Zhang Shouzhong touched the bottom of the cave, they really saw the muddy footprints left on the ground.

It's really as Zhang Shouzhong expected!

The two glanced at each other, followed the winding path, bent their waists, and kept watch out for the entrance of the cave at any time, approaching quickly.

When he was approaching the entrance of the cave, Wang Mingyuan hurriedly grabbed Zhang Shouzhong, who was still about to get closer, and hid behind a mountain rock.

The sound of someone talking in the cave was heard.

"Damn, yesterday I was still thinking about going around to see if there was a child who could look good, and then get a handful, but I didn't expect that just out of the forest and saw the village, I fell down, and what was even more annoying was that I was found and chased all the way, if I didn't run fast, it would be troublesome."

"Look at your cowardice, what is there to be afraid of when you meet someone, go straight up to the face, just find an excuse to get the lake over, you pretend to be crazy and stupid every day and step on the dots everywhere, how can you panic when you encounter such a trivial matter?"

"It's nothing if it's an ordinary person, but I just met those two people the day before yesterday. I've changed my outfit, and when they see it, they'll be suspicious. So I could only immediately turn around and hide in the woods, and after watching for a while, I didn't expect that the two of them really chased after me, and chased them all the way to the river, causing me to run along the river for a long distance before getting rid of them.

They must have recognized me, and both men didn't look bad. We're going to have to change places, and I've always felt like it's not safe here. ”

"What are you afraid of, didn't they catch up, they are really coming, don't they still have guns?"

"I know guns all day long...... Do you have a gun or what? ”

"So what do you say?"

"Take these children with you today, and quickly change places, or, just send them to the buyer, change places."

"Okay, okay, just do what you say. The two children can also be sold for thousands, and when Fan Laosan comes back, he will discuss and leave. ”

There was a man and a woman talking in the cave, but the content of this speech made Wang Mingyuan and Zhang Shouzhong frightened, and anger rose in their hearts.
