Chapter 522: White Stone Mountain
Far from the shanty town of the large villa in the heart of the manor, in the southwest corner of the Lothlin manor, the steep white stone mountain gently spreads its hands and embraces the slaves who live in the waterlogged depression.
Unfortunately, the slave still fled, and instead of taking the easier road, he chose to climb over the cliff, which caused the wolfhound, which was responsible for hunting the fugitive slave, to not play the most important role, so that the fugitive slave had enough time.
It has to be said that the escaped slaves have learned the lessons of the past, become smarter, and have also learned a lot of useful tricks, if it weren't for the accident on the way, the noise was a bit big, alarming the slaves who were "loyal" to the owner of the manor, triggering the alarm bell and waking up the police dogs, it is estimated that the ruling class of the Loslin Manor will be kept in the dark and will not find out until the next morning.
Embarrassment arrives on his own pony, and the two empty shacks have been cordoned off by the police to prohibit unrelated people from approaching, but his unique identity has come into play, and he is allowed to enter and exit freely.
Walking into the dark and damp shack, with the help of the light of the torches, Yu En saw everything inside, and forcibly twisted the shackles that had been removed, which was enough to surprise enough.
The iron railing, which was deeply embedded in the window, was twisted and forced to bend by strips of cloth, revealing a hole that allowed a person to climb out sideways, which made Yu En laugh in surprise.
Reaching out and probing the rope-like strips of coarse cloth, unsurprisingly soaking the river, the ordinary coarse cloth became even tougher, and it was able to have the last laugh in the wrestling with pig iron.
"Unexpectedly, the cattle from the Black Continent have actually learned the labor-saving lever! In the daily work of the manor, they have seen too much, understood a lot of mechanical principles, and learned the most basic camouflage. I reckon it took a long time for them to plan this escape. ”
Then he left the hut and came to the foot of the steep White Rock Mountain, where he was not surprised to find a large bundle of straw ropes scattered on the ground, handfuls of handfuls of hay that were at least a hundred feet long, just enough to hang on the mountain and hang down to the ground for the slaves to climb.
When all the fugitives had successfully made it up the mountain, the leading cattle could untie the ropes and throw them directly to the foot of the mountain, forcing the pursuing slave catchers to take a long detour.
Remembering the experience of this body scurrying around in the manor, she sighed leisurely: "Turning over the White Stone Mountain, in front of you is an endless green cloak forest, and in the distance is the misty mountain range, there are many fierce bloodthirsty beasts, among which the golden lion of the roaring forest is beyond the help of a magician. I don't think the fugitive slaves knew about this, and it was very likely that they would jump into the more dangerous territory of the lions as soon as they got out of the wolf's den. ”
Daniel Loslin was noncommittal, he was aware of the dangers of crossing the White Rock Mountain, and for the time being, it seemed that a long detour was the best option, and all the fugitive slaves must be captured before the situation worsened, otherwise this success would provoke more cattle to run for freedom, and the owner of the manor, even his own uncle, would probably punish him for his incompetence and dereliction of duty.
Without the position and salary of the Lotlyn Manor, Daniel's life would certainly not be easy, and since he did not have any extra property in his pocket, it is estimated that his life in the future would be even more difficult than the embarrassment of the family.
Perhaps his father, Aino Roslin, would take a helping hand, but it was not a long-term solution, and the cost of finding another way out was too great, and Daniel, who was accustomed to and liked to live on a stable manor, really did not want to take any chances.
Seeing the problem his cousin was facing, he leaned down without saying a word, pinned the end of the rope to his belt, and glanced back at the leader of the slave hunting team: "I'll do you a favor!"
After saying that, Yu En walked to the steep mountain wall, and with the help of the light of the fire, he scanned the traces around him, and after a while, he found something, and nodded knowingly.
The first slave to climb the mountain must have been thin, with long hands and feet, flexible joints, and, most importantly, great courage!"
She took off her boots and pressed her body against the mountain wall, like a big gecko, swimming on the steep white rock mountain.
In the eyes of others, the speed of the little young master seems to be very fast, but in fact, the speed of Yu En has been slowed down as much as possible, and he has to stand firmly on his feet and grasp it with both hands before he can climb to a higher place.
Ten feet, twenty feet, thirty feet...... Sixty feet, Yu En couldn't help but glance sideways, in the shanty town where the cattle were kept, many burning torches turned into insignificant sparks, suddenly like a gust of night wind blowing, the fire swayed up and down, left and right, and people couldn't help but worry that it would go out.
About a third of the way away, she felt soreness and even a slight tingling in her hands and feet, knowing that her body was close to its limit. However, with the right breathing rhythm and a variety of clever force techniques, you can still maintain your physical strength for a long time.
Besides, the next mountain wall is not so steep, and it is estimated that it can save a lot of effort. Thinking of this, Yu En exhaled softly, causing his chest to sink down a lot, with the help of the ubiquitous moonlight, he looked at the stone crack in front of him, and suddenly leaned forward with his arm, and after grasping it firmly, the whole person immediately jumped up, stepped on the soles of his feet and feet where his hands were just now, and stood steadily.
Some of the backbone of the slave hunting team at the foot of the mountain, watching the little young master's flexible movements, couldn't help but stretch out their hands and pinch a cold sweat for him. Soon, they realized that their worries were unnecessary, and the next climb became undifficult, as if they had just crossed a very important hurdle.
As a result, some people began to talk about "the walls of Mt. Shiraishi are not steep at all, but I can climb over them." And "I've been climbing trees since I was a child, and climbing a white stone mountain, and that's nothing." All kinds of jokes, ridicule, and boasting came out of the mouths of the backbone of the slave hunting team.
Daniel Lossling had the heart to retort, but he had to keep an eye on his cousin, so he didn't have the energy to deal with his police brothers.
At the same time, the higher he went, the more gentle the terrain became, and the slow climb turned into a hand and foot and ran on the ground. When he successfully crossed the White Rock Mountain and stood on this small hill, he heard the members of the slave catcher team in the shantytown in an uproar.
Excitement spread in all directions, like a spark falling into a boiling oil pot, lighting the pot of hot oil on the spot, making everyone's spirits burn.
He looked around and saw a pillar-like stone, and immediately untied the straw rope pinned to his waistband, and circled it round and round, slowly tied the knot, and after fastening it firmly, he walked to the cliff and waved to his cousin Daniel Losslin, who had been standing below for a long time.
"A simple crane with a fixed frame went up, and after it was installed nearby, everyone was transported up. And, of course, the indispensable wolfhound. Without these cute little creatures, it would not be easy to find the escaped animals. Be quick, preferably ahead of the other group on a long detour, and the credit should go to us. ”
Daniel Lothlin finally showed his true colors, giving orders like his father, the captain of the manor guard, Aino Lothlin, who not only had the force to overwhelm ordinary knights, but also had a quick thinking and decisive decisions far beyond ordinary people.
The backbone of the slave hunting team did not dare to laugh anymore, and acted according to the orders very obediently, first a big man who was agile and like a horse monkey, carrying a simple crane, grasping the straw rope with both hands, and stepping on the pedals with both feet, climbing up quickly.
When he reached the top of the White Rock Mountain, he immediately began assembling the crane and securing the pulley set properly. The next person brought the hemp rope and rattan basket for the crane as scheduled, and the next thing was to work together on the two transportation lines.
Not only can the two be transported, but also the wolfhound and the foal can be transported, and the remaining half of the slave trapping team can successfully reach the top of the white rock mountain in the simplest and most effective way, and then begin to let go of the wolfdogs, let their noses lead the way, and begin to hunt down the fugitive slaves.
Of course, if they have something to gain, then the biggest credit is naturally the first to reach the top of the mountain, and because of his status, even Daniel, the leader of the slave catchers, does not dare to snatch this credit.
