Book 2: The Journey of the Dead One Hundred and Fifty-Three: Clever Search

In front of the gate of the Yu Ranch, two people who directly watched the gate were chatting with each other.

At this time, it is relatively leisurely. Sheep are the fattest in autumn, the thinnest in spring, and the meat is the most dry. So at this time, there will be no thieves to take care of it, and for their gatekeepers, they can't be deliberately guarded, and those sheep in the backyard can sit back and relax.

The two of them were talking energetically, and they couldn't help but see a flower in front of them, and something flashed in front of them. When they saw it clearly and found that it was a small black dog, the guard was a little angry.

"Go, don't hang around here, get out of here!" A janitor wants to drive the puppy away. After all, although there are basically no sheep thieves at this time, there are more than one person who is worried about sheep. Wild dogs, weasels, poisonous snakes, and the like roam the outside, and they are always a threat to the sheep inside. So they were all told not to approach any other beast, not even a cat.

Instead of being driven away, the black dog became more and more enthusiastic with them, and the little black dog pounced directly on a guard, constantly wagging its tail to express affection.

"Hey, Wang Wu, you dare to violate the rules and bring the dog!" The other guard was furious.

"Who said it was my dog?" The gatekeeper called Wang Wu was stunned.

"It's not your dog why he's so affectionate with you! Oops......"

As the other janitor spoke, the puppy had pounced on him and bit him hard. He was so angry that he was so angry that he was about to catch the damn dog at once. But after chasing for a long time, the puppy ran around on the ground, moving flexibly, and no matter how he chased him, he couldn't catch up.

"It's all because of you! Because of your damn dog! In the end, in a fit of rage, he turned his anger directly on his companion and punched him in the face. The companion was in pain, and he was not to be outdone in anger, and punched back, and the two scuffled together.

"What's wrong, why fight?" Inside the door, as well as some guards next to it, they were attracted by the dispute here, trying to mediate the conflict between the two.

As soon as this delay occurs, the guards in other places will be deemed to be lax. Qiu Shaohu was sneaky, and while they weren't paying attention, he slipped directly through a side door to the wall, and sneaked in.

Sometimes it's as simple as that. It only takes a little trick to make a noise.

"You're easy, but I'm responsible for luring them away." At this time, Yu Hitomi also got rid of those people and secretly dug a hole under the wall and got in. "If I didn't have you, I would have come in without much effort."

Yu Hitomi said as he walked straight forward.

"Are you going to tear down the bridge before you cross the river?" Qiu Shaohu complained, and suddenly felt something, the power of the Seven Killing Stars, and the sensitivity to trembling, directly reminded him.

"Be careful!" Qiu Shaohu saw that Yu Tong was unconscious and rushed forward directly, and rushed over at once.

"Bang dang!" A cage fell from above, and it happened to land where the rain pupil was originally, almost locking her underneath.

If it weren't for Qiu Shaohu just reaching out and pinching the back of her neck, he picked her up like a doll.

"Let it go!" Rain Hitomi felt offended.

"Quiet, don't be noisy, we may have been discovered!" Qiu Shaohu reminded, looked at the cage in front of him, and said: "Look at this size, it doesn't look like a special trap, but it is designed for you to catch mice, wild dogs, etc." ”

Indeed, in normal thinking, no one would expect this small cage in front of them to play any role as a trap. It seems that there are guards outside, and the owner here is a little more relaxed about the vigilance inside, thinking that he can sit back and relax. There are a lot of groceries piled up near the front of me, and the messy boxes are very vulnerable to rats, so it's no wonder that this kind of rat trap cage-like thing is arranged.

Just then, they heard footsteps coming this way.

"Find a place to hide yourself, quick!"

Qiu Shaohu threw it with his hand, threw Yutong's small body behind the debris, fell into the debris, and was turned over by a straw hat and buckled her directly underneath. Qiu Shaohu himself hid behind a box, vigilantly staring in the direction where the voice came from.

A man was approaching this way unhurriedly, looking extremely relaxed. His clothes were short, close-fitting for work, and there was a lot of forage on them, apparently a man who had just finished his work as a sheep feeder.

The other party also knew that the nearby mechanism occasionally caught some wild beasts, and when he heard the sound just now, he only thought that the mechanism had caught another mouse, so he was defenseless.

Inadvertently, he didn't see an extra rope under his feet, which directly tripped him to the ground. The other party was about to struggle, but the white filaments became tighter and tighter, wrapping his whole body, like a zongzi, so that he could no longer make any sound, and fainted directly.

"Okay, settled, let's go." Qiu Shaohu said, holding the other end of the silk thread and retracting it from the fainted opponent. This is the "Cloud Rose" that he has specially refined in the past few days, and it is also a magic weapon refined according to the classics of Forgetless Island, which can not only entangle the person he wants to bind as he wants, but also have many other effects.

Since he guessed that it was inevitable to sneak into a place for a few days to find someone, Qiu Shaohu had already prepared, after all, compared with the Red Thunder Bead and Xunfeng Dart, Yun Luosi's movement was smaller, and it was more suitable for this kind of use.

"There are a lot of people ahead, and a large flock of sheep on the flat ground, and further on the left there are more people and less on the right, where are we going?" At this time, Yu Hitomi came out of the hiding place, sniffed the air, and knew the general situation in the entire ranch.

"Naturally, go to the right, since they also have something hidden in it, they must know as few people as possible. After all, most of the people here only raise sheep, and basically don't know anything else. ”

Qiu Shaohu identified the direction, first saw that Yu Tong was leading the way in front, and he was following behind.

After all, it is raining lightly now, but it is still daytime, and his whole person is too conspicuous, far less good at hiding than Yu Tong. If you don't have any cover, it's very easy to expose.

Walking out of the path, close to a plain, I can hear the sound of "bleating" in my ears one after another, and on the grassland, I can see the figure of a flock of sheep. The continuous pure white clouds converged and moved slowly, from one side to the other, grazing on the ground. Occasionally raised his head and looked at the things around him, even if he saw Qiu Shaohu approaching, the sheep were not too strange, and they still calmly continued to graze.

Seeing the figure of the rain pupil, he rushed directly into the flock, completely covered by white.

Qiu Shaohu also squatted down, carefully moved into the flock, and used their bodies as cover to continue to move forward.

That's why he had to pass through the flock, the whole pasture, without shelter, but there were many shepherds in the surrounding area, and if he didn't use these sheep as cover, he would be found directly in broad daylight.

"Huh?" Qiu Shaohu was almost crawling among the sheep, and many goats also felt strange about such an uninvited guest. Accidentally he pressed on one or two of the grass on the ground, delaying the feeding of the sheep, who were disgruntled with their heads and arched with their horns, trying to drive away the man who had influenced them.

Qiu Shaohu really couldn't cry or laugh, thinking that even if it was a wolf pack in the wilderness, he would kill it, but now it was really a tiger falling in Pingyang, and he was hit by this group of sheep with horns and trampled with hooves, where did he experience such a tragic thing.

I couldn't help but sigh secretly, but unfortunately although my wolf skin was invulnerable, it couldn't be stealthy, otherwise why bother.

At this moment, Qiu Shaohu kept protecting his head with his hands in order to avoid the trampling of the sheep. Tilting his head, he saw the stables next to him.

Next to the pasture sheep is the place where the horses are raised, so it is convenient to feed the grass together, but it is customary.

The horses were immediately apparent, some of them were peasant horses, and they could only do farm work and could not be ridden, but some of the good horses that had been smuggled in were also mixed in, apparently to avoid people's eyes. For example, Qiu Shaohu saw that the big green horse brought from outside was also among them.

The horses were in a strange position, there were no side by side in the stables, and there was a large empty space between the horses, as if there was no foothold there.

Qiu Shaohu paid attention, quietly lay on the ground, rolled on his side, and arrived next to the stable before everyone noticed, and while no one cared, he quickly sneaked into the stable and arrived in front of the empty field.

"What's wrong?" Rain Hitomi noticed his movements on the other side and followed.

Although the horses in the stable were generally very short-tempered, Yu Tong was almost kicked away by a tall horse, but he still avoided the other party and arrived in front of Qiu Shaohu.

There was a large piece of cloth on the ground, and Qiu Shaohu lifted the cloth entirely, and the entrance to a cellar appeared here.

It seems that the stables are used to avoid people's ears, and there is something else hidden underneath.

"There's something important hidden in here, and I can't smell it at all." Yu Tong said: "It's strange, the seal inside is very good, as if I'm afraid that someone will find any clues." ”

"The deeper you hide, the more it means that there is something greasy in it." Qiu Shaohu said: "Go down and have a look." ”

At this time, everyone else in the ranch was busy with the things in front of them, and they really didn't pay attention to his little movements here.

Jumping gently through the entrance of the cellar, you will be greeted by all kinds of strange sacks and barrels. It's piled up underneath, like a normal reserve.

However, Qiu Shaohu opened the bags one by one, only to find that they contained other sacks, which were completely used to prop up the pockets to hide people's eyes. The barrel was also completely empty, and there was nothing in it.

The other party is afraid that this place will be discovered, and it is really a lot of trouble, even if it is found, it is easy to pass by as an ordinary cellar.

But the more this happens, the more it shows that there must be something else hidden here, and I don't want people to know about it.
