Chapter 408 - Exploring the Ghost Forest
At this time, a catcher came over and said to the war eagle: "We just looked, there was a fierce fight here, at first it was two people, and then it became three people. ”
The warhawk asked rhetorically, "Three people?"
"There were two people with more footprints, and the third had very few footprints, and I was blowing dirt on the side, so I could easily cover the footprints, apparently coming later. The head catcher said.
Chi Zhongtian suddenly asked, "This big brother, dare to ask where is the further step here?"
The head catcher glanced at Chi Zhongtian, then thought for a while and said: "I really don't know where it is, because this road is too desolate, but it is said that not far ahead, there is a very dense wood, some people call it the ghost forest, because no one has ever entered it, and sometimes the ghost screams will be heard in the middle of the night, of course, these are all rumors, credible or not, I don't know." ”
Hearing this, Chi Zhongtian knew that there must be clues ahead, and now he couldn't care about any ghost forest or ghost forest, as long as there was a little hope, he had to find it.
"You've worked hard, come, take this money, take it to the brothers for tea!" said Warhawk with a smile as he quietly handed over a silver ingot.
The head catcher was not polite, and after a simple push, he accepted it.
"Then if there is nothing else, we will leave first, and the county magistrate is still waiting for us to go on an errand!"
War Eagle looked at Chi Zhongtian and saw that he nodded, so he said, "It's okay, see the county commander, say hello for us." ”
Soon, all the people in the yamen were gone.
At this time, one of the guards of the Hou Mansion of Chengqi came over and said: "Master Chi, the Hou Ye has instructed us to help find the proud girl, do you see where we need to find it, just ask!"
Chi Zhongtian smiled gratefully, and then said: "You have been busy for a long time, I really can't bear to continue to worry about you, why don't you go back and rest first, and I'll take someone to the front to take a look." ”
The guard said: "Where is this Gongzi Chi, Hou Ye specially ordered, if we don't find the proud girl, we will go back, then Hou Ye must not break our legs!"
At this time, the war eagle said: "Childe, I don't think it's as good as this, since there is some danger ahead, let's go, let the brothers in the Hou Ye's mansion go elsewhere to find it, and the two ways will be found together, and the chances will be greater." ”
Of course, Chi Zhongtian understood what the war eagle meant, so he nodded and said: "It's feasible, then it's decided, you can go elsewhere to find it, once there is news, go to the villa and wait for us, what do you think?"
The guard nodded and said, "Okay, let the son order, then we will go, and if there is news, I will definitely notify as soon as possible!"
With that, the guard called the others and left the place together.
After the outsiders were gone, War Eagle said: "Master Hou has been in a lot of trouble recently for our business, let's let him be a little more relaxed." ”
"Well, I think so too, the water cut is so troublesome, Hou Ye was present at the time, he is also a person in the court, not only did he help cut off the water, but he also scolded her, I estimate that this matter can't be finished, and I guess that the water cut off is probably because he knew that Hou Ye and Hu Xian Ling were there, so he came on purpose, this woman, scheming is really vicious. ”
"Shall we move forward now, then?" Warhawk asked.
Chi Zhongtian looked at the people behind him, and then said: "Wuyang and Qiu Chan, you bring someone to follow me, Ziyu, you go back to the villa to watch the house now, if you have news, don't come to us, just wait quietly in the villa." ”
Guan Ziyu agreed, turned around and left.
Then, Chi Zhongtian and War Eagle took a dozen servants and guards and walked forward.
It's really as the Hou Mansion guard said, this road is desolate enough!
The weeds on the ground were everywhere, many of them had withered and yellowed, and there was nothing around except trees, and the further you went, the narrower the road became, and sometimes you had to warhawks and Wuyang chop around in front with swords to barely open a road.
"Sir, what do I think, this place doesn't look like anyone has walked before. Chi Zhongtian said.
War Eagle understood what Chi Zhongtian meant, and while chopping weeds and thorns and other plants, he said: "Childe, maybe they don't care about cleaning the road and rushing hard, don't think so much, let's just look for it, maybe we will get a harvest." ”
Chi Zhongtian knew that there was no other way now, so he had to nod and didn't say anything more.
Soon, after the cleaning of War Eagle and Wuyang, a sheep intestine trail appeared.
"Alas, I really miss those little bugs now, even if it's a poisonous snake, it's better than not being angry at all!" Wu Yang muttered as he walked.
really said something, at this moment, suddenly, Chi Zhongtian stopped.
As soon as he stopped, everyone stopped, and War Eagle came over and asked puzzledly, "Childe, what's wrong?"
Chi Zhongtian sat down and gestured silently as he said, "There is movement. ”
Seeing Chi Zhongtian's serious expression, everyone quickly held their breath and didn't dare to move.
Warhawk listened carefully, and then his finger suddenly pointed in one direction.
Seeing this direction, Chi Zhongtian nodded.
"You wait here, don't move!" Chi Zhongtian said this, and suddenly his body swung and rushed towards a tree in front of him.
The warhawk then rushed over from the other side.
After running a few steps, the two of them jumped and came to the top of the big tree.
Chi Zhongtian held the trunk of the tree with his hands, his feet crossed on the branches, and his eyes kept scanning everywhere.
The war eagle was staying on Chi Zhongtian's head at the moment, and he was also looking around.
"It's strange, there's obviously movement, why is there nothing now?" Chi Zhongtian muttered quietly.
Warhawk looked around, and then said, "Could it be that we heard it wrong?"
"No way, I heard it wrong, it's possible, could it be that we both heard it wrong at the same time? Chi Zhongtian shook his head and said.
At this moment, suddenly, the war eagle felt a cold wind blowing overhead, he quickly let go of his arm, swung his body, jumped to the other side, and then looked up and almost screamed in fright.
"Childe be careful!"
When Chi Zhongtian heard this, he reacted very quickly and let go of his legs, his body quickly slid a few steps, and then his hand loosened, fell to the ground overgrown with weeds, and looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"
War Eagle was raising his head very nervously at the moment, and when he heard Chi Zhongtian ask him, he didn't speak.
