Chapter 171: Probe

Qin Yue looked around, found a place with trees and a slight leeward wind, and left two people to watch the horses.

She and Qu Yongfu took the remaining three people and began to climb the mountain.

Although the mountain in front of him was not very steep, it was naturally not a big problem for masters like Qin Yue and Qu Yongfu.

And the other three are still struggling.

Fortunately, Qin Yue took the lead with a rope. When encountering a particularly difficult section to climb, Qin Yue put down the rope, and it was much better to have a rope to pull?

After climbing over a mountain, there was indeed another mountain in front of me, almost the same as the one I had just climbed.

The soldier who led the way pointed to a large area in front of him, saying that they had been here in this area and had found no trace of this group of strongmen.

After crossing another mountain, a steep mountain appeared in front of me. The soldier who led the way said that this was a place marked on General Lee's map. The mountain was too steep for them to climb.

Qu Yongfu inspected along the foot of the mountain and shook his head at Qin Yue. Not to mention that this place really doesn't look like a place where people can hide, and there is no trace of anyone crawling? It is difficult for those strong people to climb up, let alone bring things?

Qin Yue looked at the mountain, looked around again, and also felt that Qu Yongfu had a point. After hesitating for a moment, I felt that since I had already come here, I was not afraid of 10,000, but I was afraid of what happened, at least I couldn't leave any regrets and questions? If you find it, it's the best, if you don't find it, you can rest assured that you are here.

Qu Yongfu looked at the mountain and said that he could almost climb this mountain, and wanted to go up instead of Qin Yue, but Qin Yue didn't agree.

Climbing such a mountain is not easy for Qin Yue's skills? After climbing to the top of the mountain with all kinds of hard work, he was already panting and sweating.

When he reached the highest part of the mountain, the bottom of the mountain was already unobstructed, Qin Yue took a closer look, and couldn't see any sign that someone could hide.

To grasp it, Qin Yue pushed down a few large stones from the mountain. There was a rumbling sound in the valley. Didn't you see anyone showing their heads, but they startled a few wild boars out, and Qin Yue was relieved.

Can humans and these wild boars coexist peacefully? Nothing has been found, but at least one place can be ruled out?

At this time, Qin Yue didn't know what was going on, and remembered Lin Zhutou's elimination method. It seems that this elimination method is really useful, not only to solve the case, but also to use it now?

Qin Yue was about to go down the mountain to return, when she suddenly made a major discovery. Where she had just pushed the boulder away, there was a large cluster of extremely rare mushrooms.

There are often treasures hidden in the so-called dangerous places, and Qin Yue really encountered treasures. Accustomed to life in the mountains and forests, she found some branches of small trees. I made a simple basket, carefully picked the mushrooms, and put them in the blue seeds.

Qin Yue was worried, Wanjialou was robbed not long ago, I am afraid that even if I have money, I can't buy anything?

It's easy to go up the mountain and hard to get down, that's for ordinary people. For a person like Qin Yue, of course, it is easy to go down the mountain. Because, there is still strength left for going down the mountain.

When going down the mountain, Qin Yue suddenly thought: I should catch some prey by the way. After all, it is the Chinese New Year, and if there is a harvest, won't it be able to improve Uncle Wan's family? It is difficult for this person to climb up, and the rabbit can't climb up? Nothing was found along the way.

Most of these soldiers in the barracks came out of the mountains, and they were no strangers to mountain goods.

Seeing Qin Yue climbing up and down from such a steep mountain, he also brought back a basket of mountain treasures. can only be more envious of Qin Yue, and even more admired by the five-body cast.

Qu Yongfu took the basket containing the mushrooms in Qin Yue's hand and trapped it around his neck with a small rope.

When he went back down the mountain, Qin Yue was always at the end, putting the rope down back and forth.

Several people are pulling the rope and slipping down, speeding up and saving effort.

After meeting up with the two people watching the horses, Qin Yue asked the soldier who led the way: How far are the other places to be explored?

The soldier who led the way said that the nearest place is also ten miles away?

Qin Yue looked at the sky and said to everyone that he could only check this one place today.

As she spoke, Qin Yue suddenly got on her horse and galloped. Everyone was surprised, and soon found out that Qin Yue was chasing a roe deer.

No wonder people say stupid roe deer? This roe deer is stupid, and it keeps running along the road.

It ran fast enough, but where was Qin Yue's horse fast?, and the distance was getting closer and closer. In Shunjian, who was about to catch up, Qin Yue jumped off the horse's back and flew to knock the roe deer down.

By the time Qu Yongfu and the others chased after them on horseback, Qin Yue had already tied the roe deer with a rope and threw it on the horse's back.

On the way back to Wanjialou, Qin Yue said to everyone: Get some wild meat for the villagers of Wanjialou, today's trip is not in vain. The villagers in this village have been tired for a year, and it is easy to look forward to the New Year, but the New Year's goods were robbed.

The thought of this makes everyone's hearts feel bad. At this time, everyone understood why Qin Yue chased this roe deer desperately, and brought back some meat for the New Year, no matter what, it would still feel better.

Although there were not many things, after arriving home, Qin Yue still asked Uncle Wan to distribute the roe deer meat to each household in the village. The effort is not great, and the smell of meat wafts from every household in the village.

Wan Jialou, like many such villages, the patriarch of Wan Jialou is also the supreme head of this village.

Before dinner, the patriarch of Wanjialou came to Uncle Wan's house, and he made a special trip to visit Qin Yue.

The patriarch is an elder who is highly respected in the village, and everyone calls him the old patriarch.

The old patriarch was a very cheerful man. As soon as he saw Qin Yue, he said that he had come to thank Qin Yue on behalf of his relatives, which confused Qin Yue.

Qin Yue couldn't have imagined that the old patriarch of the Wanjialou was actually a very close relative to Guo Youfa's family in Tongguan. Qin Yue only remembered at this time that when she returned from the capital, she didn't remember to visit Guo Youfa's house when she passed by Tongguan?

I know from the patriarch that Guo Youfa's old father's illness has been cured. He started the business of striking iron again, and he told the legendary story of Qin Yue's treatment for him when he met people.

The patriarch said: Guo Youfa's father told him that if he had the opportunity to meet Qin Yue, he would definitely convey his respect for Qin Yue on behalf of his family. He also said that it was fortunate that Qin Yue left money for his family and helped his family tide over the difficulties.

The silver left by Qin Yue, they used it, but it was borrowed from Qin Yue, and when they had it, they must pay it back to Qin Yue.

Qin Yue thought of Jing Shouyi from Guo You's fortune, thought of the second elder of the Shi family in the capital, and thought to himself, how could he always meet someone like Tong Jiazhai Tong Laozhang?

However, hearing the news that Guo Youfa's father had recovered from his illness, Qin Yue was still very happy.

The old patriarch was very sorry, and said that if this village had not suffered this man-made disaster, Qin Yue and the officials and soldiers would have to entertain everyone to eat something delicious for the people during the New Year. This is good, empty-handed? The whole village still has to eat the game brought back by Qin Yue's heroes and the officials and soldiers today?

Qin Yue was also very good at talking, saying that as the Shangzhou garrison that protected the territory and the people, he could not give the villagers a stable life, and he could not even live a peaceful year? General Li was particularly uncomfortable and guilty.

Qin Yue asked the old patriarch to tell the villagers that if they didn't get rid of this group of harmful bandits, the Shangzhou garrison would never stop!

With the roe deer meat and mushrooms brought back by Qin Yue, the dinner at Uncle Wan's house was still very rich.

Qin Yueliu patriarch dined with them, and the patriarch was really embarrassed at first? Later, after Uncle Wan and everyone repeatedly reluctantly agreed.

While eating, he went home and brought a jar of wine. It was fortunate that it was hidden in the cellar, and it was not discovered by the bandits.

The next day, several people set out early in the morning, although they also entered the mountain, but took a different road.

When they went out, they planned to check two places today.

The mountain road was narrow and rugged, and the horses could not run away from the trunks of trees that were running on their heads.

A little more than two hours later, several people arrived at a place.

The soldier who led the way pointed to a high mountain standing in front of everyone, and said to Qin Yue: Since this mountain cannot be overturned, the back of this mountain has not been explored.

Qin Yue looked up at the mountain, which was even better than his own Pen Holder Mountain. Qin Yue rode a horse and inspected back and forth along the mountain, and it was more dangerous than the other.

In the middle of the mountain, there is also a large waterfall, and the water cascading down from the top of the mountain makes a loud noise. A ditch was washed out of a waterfall at the foot of the mountain, and the water flowed along the foot of the mountain.

"I don't know anyone else about a mountain like this? Qu Yongfu, who was accompanying Qin Yue, said to Qin Yue.

Qin Yue nodded in agreement and said Let's go to another place to have a look.

After walking deeper into the mountain for another hour, the soldier who led the way pointed to the mountain in front of him and said that this was it.

The mountain is steep, but it's not the same as the one I just saw.

Although the first feeling is that it is unlikely that the bandits will place the lair behind this mountain, but since they have arrived in front of it, it must be a pity not to climb up to take a look?

Qin Yue dismounted and was about to climb the mountain, but was stopped by Qu Yongfu and insisted that he go up this time.

Seeing Qu Yongfu's resoluteness, Qin Yue looked down the mountain and felt that Qu Yongfu must be no problem going up, and it didn't disappoint his kindness.

The others put their horses together and found a leeward place to rest. Qin Yue had been standing at the bottom of the mountain, staring at Qu Yongfu, who looked smaller and smaller.

She still can't rest assured, in case something happens, she can come to the rescue.

Seeing Qu Yongfu ascend to the top of the mountain, Qin Yue breathed a sigh of relief. She walked along the foot of the mountain for a while and stumbled upon a patch of mountain leeks.

Thinking that Uncle Wan's family has very few vegetables, and their own families are very difficult, let alone add these seven people?

Yes, along with the forage for the horses, you have to leave money for others when you leave, but in such a remote place, money may not be able to buy things?

Qin Yue called the soldiers to come over, cut the wild leeks with a waist knife, tied them up, and prepared to take them back.

Patronized the cutting of wild leeks, Qin Yue forgot about Qu Yongfu. After the leeks were cut and bundled, Qin Yue remembered that it was time for Qu Yongfu to come back. I looked up the hill and couldn't see anyone.
