Chapter 53: Investigation (II)
Mo Cong is a very sensible child, and everyone has a good impression of him when he was in a small mountain village. A few days ago, they heard that a few people were inquiring about Mo Cong in other villages and towns, and these villagers in the small mountain village paid attention.
I don't know who started it, saying that if someone came to ask, it would be said that Mu went to Montenegro to learn kung fu, and he left a message in the village back then, saying that he would come back to repay us in the future. Everyone thought about it, Mu did leave words when he left, but what he said was vague for so many years. This statement sounded a bit similar to what was left behind back then, so they unified their voices from top to bottom.
Uncle Li's answer just now, although it was not a lie, was also a sentence mixed with ten truths that I didn't remember so clearly. The people in the mountains are very simple, and the person who came to ask is an officer in armor and a knife, and Uncle Li couldn't help but be a little nervous when he answered just now. But fortunately, he added some words of shame and regret at the right time, and he covered up that nervousness.
The two officers came out of Uncle Li's house, made inquiries from house to house, and finally came to Uncle Zhang's house in the west of the village.
Uncle Zhang, Aunt Zhang, was picking up flowers and plants in the yard, moving a pot of flowers that was about to freeze to death into the house, and was a little surprised when he saw two officers with knives coming in from outside.
"Two military masters, you... Who are you looking for?" Uncle Zhang hurriedly greeted him.
"Are you Zhang Liangmin?" asked an officer.
"I am and I am!" Uncle Zhang couldn't help but beat a little drum in his heart when he saw them call out his name as soon as they came.
"We're here to ask you something, don't be nervous. The officer saw that Uncle Zhang was so frightened that he didn't know where to put his hand, so he said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, if the two military masters have anything, just ask, as long as I, Zhang Liangmin, know, I must know everything. Uncle Zhang's expression softened a little, and he turned back to Aunt Zhang and shouted, "Baby, bring two stools to the two military masters, and get some tea." ”
The officer said, "You don't have to be busy, we're just going to ask a few random questions, and we'll leave when we're done." ”
Another officer also waved his hand to stop Aunt Zhang from carrying a stool to make tea, and motioned for her to wait for questioning.
"Did you have a kid named Wood in your village more than ten years ago?" the officer asked bluntly.
"Yes, yes, there used to be a child named Mu in our village. He was an orphan who grew up eating hundreds of family meals and often came to his house to eat. Uncle Zhang replied honestly.
"Tell us about his situation, and say whatever comes to mind, the more detailed the better. The officer said.
"Good, good. Uncle Zhang nodded hurriedly, and then talked about Mo Cong's situation in the village at that time.
He said that the wood was tightly wrapped in a quilt of the local color of Montenegro, and appeared next to a pile of wood, and the villagers found him and took him in and named him Mutou. The wooden child has no father and mother, which is quite pitiful, but he is very sensible and obedient, and he is more likable than other children. When he was six years old, Mu was taken by a martial arts master in Montenegro to learn kung fu, and when he left, he left a message, saying that he would come back to repay the villagers who raised him in the future. He hasn't been seen since then, and I don't know where he is now.
The officer asked some more questions, such as the appearance and characteristics of the wood, the character of the behavior, etc., and Uncle Zhang described them in general. Aunt Zhang listened to their questions so carefully beside her, and she was a little worried. "Young man, have you seen wood somewhere, and how is he now?" asked Aunt Zhang with concern.
"We haven't seen this man, and we don't know how he's doing. We're just here to ask about something that might have something to do with him. The other officer replied without a drop in the water.
The two officers asked for a while, but felt that they could not ask anything more, so they got up and took their leave.
"Daddy, there has been no news about Mu Tou for so many years, why did someone suddenly come to ask him about it recently?" Aunt Zhang whispered.
"Who knows?" said Uncle Zhang, shaking his head. "Look at this stance, the wood is at least alive anyway. Well, it's good to be alive, it's good to be alive. ”
※※※
On the main peak of the Black Mountain at the end of the field of vision, more than a hundred Yulin Guards were divided into ten teams, carefully inspecting along the winding mountain road.
Montenegro sounds like a mountain, but it's actually a general term for a large area of mountains. It starts from the remaining veins of Julong Mountain in the north, borders the Ruibei Plain in the south, spans 600 miles from north to south, stretches for 800 miles from east to west, and the main peak, branch veins and residual veins radiate more than 30 counties and counties around it.
The main peak of Montenegro used to be called Black Dragon Peak, but later it was renamed Black Mountain without knowing what was going on. The main peak is more than 1,000 feet high and reaches into the sky, surrounded by more than 100 peaks of varying heights, and there are more branches that extend into the distance. Standing on the main peak of Montenegro and looking out, you can see the towering mountains stretching endlessly, and the field of vision is not generally broad.
However, these Yu Linwei are obviously not here to watch the mountain scenery, but to find something. They hurriedly searched along the main peak of Montenegro, not missing any of the top of the slope or missing any cave.
Shout...
A sharp voice came from the side of the main peak.
In mid-air, a bright spot exploded with a thud, and it bloomed into a silver saber. Even though it was daytime, I could see it clearly.
"It's Xiao Zhongqi. Brothers, hurry to the rendezvous. An officer wiped his sweat and said happily. When the ten Yulin guards heard the commander's words, they immediately changed their course and turned to the southeast.
They had been looking here for two whole days, digging through countless ditches and looking for countless caves, but they couldn't find any portal to the Raushzi Black Mountain Sect. The military orders were like a mountain, and they did not dare to slack off in the slightest, but still carefully and carefully examined them. But in their hearts, they don't have much hope. At such a time, a summoning signal was sent from the southeast, and it seemed that either it had been discovered, or it really couldn't find any clues, and it was going to announce the withdrawal of troops and return to Beijing. Either way, it was good news for these officers and soldiers, so they were very happy when they saw this signal.
After walking for about half an hour, the eleven Yulin guards arrived at the designated meeting point on the southeast side of the main peak of Montenegro. Soon, the other nine squads of Yu Linwei also arrived, and the one hundred and eleven people led by the officers and soldiers all converged in one place.
"Xiao Zhongqi, have you found anything?" asked an officer of the Yulinwei Small Banner.
Xiao Zhongqi, the flag officer of the Yulin Guard Squadron, Xiao Qinghai, pointed to the dense forest on the right side of the hillside and said: "We found some traces of human life nearby, and found this location along the way. I suspect there may be some clues behind this forest. ”
"Oh, then let's go in and find out!" said the little flag officer.
"Of course, you have to go in, but you have to be careful. Xiao Qinghai looked at the dense forest and said: "This forest is located halfway up the mountainside, and it is likely that there are wild beasts, but the terrain here is not very good, and the narrow one is still next to the cliff. Everyone must take good care of each other when they enter the forest, beware of wild beasts on the one hand, and pay attention to their feet on the other, so as not to be injured or fall off the cliff. We came out as a complete squadron, and when we went back, we couldn't miss a single one. ”
"Okay, you can just take us away. ”
"Follow Squadron Xiao, we can rest assured. ”
All the officers and soldiers expressed their stance one after another.
