Chapter 102: The Storm is Coming
Finally, near noon, the students were allowed to begin the pursuit.
Yes, half a day has passed before it starts, and there are only five and a half days left before the end of the day.
But it's useless to complain, you can only set off quickly, hoping to catch up!
Li Mu was idle, and he also named this assessment "Operation Hunter", but he didn't know who was the hunter!
After the five teams descended the mountain, they identified the direction, and then separated and followed on their own, it seems that they should all have experts in tracking.
……
Lin Yan's team ran on the mountain path, which was full of gravel and the road was rugged and difficult to walk.
At this time, it was close to evening, and Lin Yan and the others came all the way, and fatigue unconsciously emerged from their bodies.
Xu Dahai gasped and asked, "Brother Lin Yan, why don't we rest for a while?"
Lin Yan stopped his figure when he heard this, and then nodded.
Chasing death row prisoners is not a day's work, it is useless to be anxious, it is right to eat well and rest well!
After all, their opponent is a real outlaw, and they don't know anything about the other party's situation, so if they rush to face it with a tired body, then there is a high chance that they will lose.
Once they fall into the hands of the enemy, those outlaws will not have the slightest scruples, and they will have to stay here if they don't get their lives.
Lin Yan's team stopped to rest a little, Xu Dahai was almost unable to hold on, and as soon as he heard that he could rest, he sat on the ground as soon as he heard it.
Immediately afterwards, he heard a "whoop" voice, and Brother Dahai jumped up holding his buttocks.
He was so anxious to rest that he forgot that they were now on a rough path, and they sat down violently and were directly plotted by the gravel on the ground!
Looking at Xu Dahai's appearance of jumping on the spot, Li Zongsheng laughed and said, "The sea, what's wrong?" I also danced for everyone, but we all came out in a hurry, but we didn't bring any reward! ”
Xu Dahai was in pain, looking at Li Zongsheng's gloating appearance, he suddenly felt that this brother was too unkind!
The two of them talked about each other, and the other three shook their heads helplessly when they saw this, but thanks to these two living treasures, everyone's tracking journey was not so boring.
"Lin Yan, are you sure it's this way?" Xue Nishang asked.
Xu Dahai and Li Zongsheng also stopped arguing when they heard this, they had been chasing in this direction for a long time, but they still didn't see a single figure, did there really a death row prisoner run here?
Lin Yan thought for a moment, then replied, "I'm sure!"
Then he crouched down, picked up a pebble in his hand, and said, "Look, this is the town."
As he spoke, he drew a circle with the pebble in his hand.
Then, pointing in the opposite direction, he said, "Here, there are troops."
Soon, he drew another circle.
"Therefore, death row inmates who escaped from this direction can only choose to take this path!" Lin Yan said firmly.
"Brother, that's amazing! You can be a military advisor at this level, I have decided, if I become a general in the future, you will come to me to be a military advisor, okay! Li Zongsheng said with a grin.
Xu Dahai on the side pursed his lips and said, "Brother Lin Yan is a person who wants to do great things, how can he be a dog-headed military advisor for you!"
"What do you say! With our brother's relationship, he will definitely help me! Li Zongsheng said confidently.
"It's not a matter of friendship, I mean that Brother Lin Yan will definitely be better than you when the time comes, and he will have to go to you?" Xu Dahai glanced at Li Zongsheng obliquely and said disdainfully.
……
Seeing that the two of them were about to start again, Lin Yan hurriedly said, "Hurry up and take a break, eat something, and then let's continue to set off!"
These two people used to be very good, but now they have a feeling of falling in love and killing each other, and they are also drunk!
Is this what people often say, "the better the relationship, the more quarrelsome"?
Lin Yan really didn't understand, and a few people ate some dry food they had with them, and then continued to track them down.
Mingya's previous injuries were not well received, mainly because of the sequelae left by the forced use of secret methods, and her little face was pale, which made Lin Yan feel distressed for a while.
It is precisely because of this that Mingya rarely speaks along the way.
Seeing the sunset, the sky is gloomy, it looks like it may rain, a few people do not have rain gear, if there is a sudden downpour, it is estimated that they will only be drenched in the fate of chickens!
Fortunately, there is a building not far ahead, which is probably a small village.
This is truly the path of the world!
Since there is a village, you can spend the night, maybe you can rub some food, this dry and hard dry food is really not delicious!
Xu Dahai thought of it and was full of anticipation.
Lin Yan and the others entered the village before the heavy rain fell, found a family and knocked on the door, and it was an old man with a white beard who came out to open the door, and let them into the house after Lin Yan and the others explained their intentions.
The main thing is that they are all children, which makes the old man invisibly less guarded.
Moreover, the old man believes in Buddhism, and as soon as he enters the house, he sees a Buddha statue in the middle of the lobby, and incense is around.
The old man is helpful on weekdays, but today he saw a few children in front of the door, and caught up with such a ghost weather, so naturally he couldn't stand idly by.
Lin Yan and the others chased all the way before they ate some dry food, just in time for the old man's family to have dinner, he and an old woman in this house, they should be husband and wife, so the meal was prepared.
Moreover, the people in the small village naturally eat not any delicacies from the mountains and seas, just some vegetable dumplings and a pot of green vegetable and tofu soup.
This is already delicious for them who have only prepared dry food all the way!
The old man was not stingy, and warmly invited them to sit down to eat, but these things were originally the food of the old husband and wife, so naturally there was not much to eat, so the old woman went to cook some food.
Everyone simply ate some, and then touched their bellies with satisfaction. Although dry food can also satisfy hunger, it is obvious that hot meals are what people eat!
In this kind of weather, they won't be able to leave tonight, and they can only bother the old man!
But his house is only two, and he really can't live so many people, what can he do?
At this moment, the old woman leaned into the old man's ear and said something, and the latter's frown gradually relaxed.
Then, he walked up to a few people and said, "I'm really sorry, there are too few rooms on my side for you to stay." Otherwise, my wife said that she has an old sister who lives in the east of the village, and she lives alone, so there is an empty house, why don't you divide a few people to live with her? ”
When a few people heard this, they nodded, after all, it is only one room, and it is impossible for men and women to live together, so everyone is embarrassed, and it is not good to rest.
But the question is who is in the past?
At this time, Mingya stood up and said, "I'll go over with Nishang, since it's a widowed grandmother, it may be more convenient for the two of us to communicate with her!"
Lin Yan nodded in agreement when he heard this, and then he looked at the two of them and said, "I'll send you away."
Xu Dahai and Li Zongsheng went to the room to rest first, while Lin Yan followed the girls to see the situation on their behalf.
Led by the old woman, a few people came to the east of the village all the way, it was a somewhat dilapidated courtyard, the word "Fu" on the gate was in tatters, it seemed that it was some years!
The old woman knocked on the door, and after a while a voice came from the courtyard, and asked, "Who?"
The former replied: "Old sister-in-law, it's me, open the door quickly!"
Then a moment later I heard footsteps approaching, and with a "creak" the door was slowly opened, and then an old woman's head poked out of the door.
She was full of gray hair, disheveled, and her face was full of wrinkles, obviously having gone through the baptism of time and the vicissitudes of life.
As soon as she spoke, the sound she made was like the feeling of a saw on pig iron, which made people feel extremely uncomfortable!
"What are you doing at such a late hour?"
The old woman obviously knew her temperament and didn't mind, and continued, "Old sister-in-law, I'm sorry to disturb you so late!" These children passed by our village, and they happened to catch up with the weather, and they couldn't go, so they had to stay overnight here. ”
"But you also know that my house only has two rooms, and I can't accommodate so many of them, and I remember that your house happens to have a vacant room, so I brought them here and asked if I could spend the night with you?"
The old woman looked Lin Yan up and down, and asked the old woman, "Just this kid?"
The latter hurriedly denied it, stretched out his hand and pointed at Ming Ya and Xue Nishang, and said, "It's these two little girls, this child is just here to send them."
"Oh, it turned out to be the 'Flower Protector'! Hehe...... Hehe......"
The old woman let out a terrible laugh, and then said, "Come in!"
As soon as he opened the door, Lin Yan and the others followed.
To say that this courtyard is really not small, there is also a four-room room at a cursory glance, although it has fallen into disrepair and is somewhat broken, but it can still be seen that the economic strength of its owner is there.
When chatting at the dinner table before, Lin Yanke knew that the old man before was actually the village chief of this small village, but this old woman's yard was actually bigger than the village chief, which was a little unusual!
A few people entered the house, and the village elder's wife and the old woman exchanged a few words of greeting, and then prepared to leave.
The old woman arranged Mingya and Xue Nishang in the west wing, and told them not to disturb themselves if they were fine, and not to mess with things, especially the east wing.
Mingya also felt a little uncomfortable when she heard this, did this old lady treat the two of herself as thieves? This is not allowed to be touched, and that is not allowed to be touched, as if they are rare!
However, she is also very grateful to the old woman for taking them in to stay here, maybe her behavior is just a simple personality problem, and she doesn't really distrust the two of them, so she doesn't care too much!
After settling the two, Lin Yan left with the village elder's wife.
Before leaving, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a few dishes and two pairs of chopsticks on the table, and suddenly felt a little puzzled in his heart: This old woman has been widowed for many years, how can she cook so many dishes at home alone, and put two pairs of chopsticks?
After thinking about it for a while, Lin Yan just thought that the old lady had some strange habits, or was about to treat or something, so she didn't think much about it.
On the way back, the thunder rumbled in the sky, and the rain fell one after another.
The rain is coming......
