When it was dark, Wu Zheng was still walking around the barren mountains and wilderness with Tie Ning on his back, although he had left Shuntian City for nearly seventy or eighty miles, he still didn't dare to go out of the wilderness and look for villages and towns where he could live.

Without him, since he heard Qinglian's shout in the morning, there would be no interval of an hour, and Qinglian's cry would be heard again behind him. This made Wu Zheng always have a feeling of fear. In any case, Wu Zheng would not believe that Qinglian would be able to find the traces he left behind all the way in the wilderness. That is to say, only Zhen Yu'er, the so-called descendant of Huatoutuo in the Western Regions, has this ability.

How did Zhen Yuer do it?

It wasn't until it was close to noon that Qinglian's voice could no longer be heard, and Wu Zheng's heart finally relaxed a little.

However, only about two hours had passed, and at the end of Shen Shishi in the afternoon, Zhen Yu'er's distant shouts were heard again. It is not difficult to guess that with the physical strength of Qinglian's weak girl, she simply cannot hold out in the wilderness for too long. It must have been Zhen Yu'er who sent Qinglian back to the city, and then returned alone. If it is really Zhen Yu'er herself, Wu Zheng is not very worried, the key is that Wu Zheng is not sure, whether Zhen Yu'er will still follow Wu Gan. In other words, Wu Gan will not be hidden not far away. This is what Wu Zheng is most afraid of.

Since the two of them ate a hare in the morning, they were tired of running all day, and could only occasionally stop to drink a few sips of stream water, if it weren't for the help of the wisp of true qi in his body, Wu Zheng might not be able to hold on until dark.

When the night completely fell, and there was finally no longer behind him, like the call of Zhen Yu'er like a maggot on the tarsal bones, Wu Zheng finally dared to find a place to shelter from the wind and water, and stopped to rest for the night.

"Wu Zheng, have you ever been in contact with a girl who has been chasing after you before?"

"Yes, it was two nights ago that I inadvertently hid in her boudoir. ”

"Did she touch your body?"

Not only did he touch it, but he also held Zhen Yuer tightly in his arms for a long time at that time. However, Wu Zheng naturally would not tell Tie Ning the details.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"I once heard my sisters talk about the two kinds of tracking techniques in martial arts. The first is to take advantage of people's unpreparedness and do tricks on people. It's nothing more than sprinkling some long-lasting scent, or potions with a special taste. In this way, you can rely on the sensitive sense of smell cultivated by special cultivation techniques and follow the smell all the way. ”

Hearing this, Wu Zheng was suddenly shocked in his heart. If Zhen Yuer had a heart, she could have done something to herself unknowingly at that time. Especially Wu Zheng remembered that when he left, Zhen Yuer once said that "you are not allowed to leave Shuntian City within three months", so it seems that she must have been recruited.

"What else?"

"The second is also a unique exercise, that is, through long-term training, you can track the clues left behind by a person's walk. In martial arts, this technique is known as tracking. ”

Yes, it is similar to the way you follow the trail in the wilderness, looking for hares and pheasants, but as a "tracking technique", it should be more meticulous and effective.

Thinking of this, Wu Zheng is completely sure that Zhen Yuer must be using both methods at the same time, so she can always be behind her.

From this, it is not difficult for Wu Zheng to get the answer to why Wu Gan has been able to track himself, and he must have used the so-called tracking technique.

Now that he thought of this, Wu Zheng was about to look for the mark left by Zhen Yuer on his body, when he first took off the blue jacket and gown on his upper body, and while looking for it carefully and repeatedly, he was still like a puppy, constantly wrinkling his nose and sniffing hard. This childlike funny scene immediately amused Tie Ning on the side.

"Cluck, cluck. Wu Zheng, you ...... ，”

"Auntie, what's wrong?"

"If you did it in secret, how could you find out? Besides, how can your nose be able to smell the already faint smell without special training?"

"So what to do?"

"Leave it to me. ”

Tie Ning stretched out his hand and took the blue cloth gown in Wu Zheng's hand, and then threw it into the stream beside him. At the same time, he reached out and began to untie the gray robe that Wu Zheng had been wearing.

"Auntie, don't, I'm not cold. ”

Wu Zheng hurriedly stepped forward to stop Tie Ning.

She can feel the coolness in the night breeze with her bare shoulders, not to mention Tie Ning, if she takes off her long shirt, she will only have an emerald green nightdress as thin as a cicada's wings, where can her weak body bear it?

Seeing that Tie Ning not only did not stop, but accelerated the action of taking off his robe, Wu Zheng simply turned around and drilled into the artemisia grass, and said as he walked:

"Auntie, I'll go find something to eat. ”

Seeing Wu Zheng fleeing in a hurry with a slight embarrassment, the corners of Tie Ning's mouth couldn't help but show a trace of gratitude and sweet smile, and then he stopped continuing to take off his long shirt, and fell down by the stream and began to wash Wu Zheng's blue jacket and gown in the water.

If you can't make a fire, what food should you find for Tie Ning?

While thinking, Wu Zheng carefully searched among the dead grass and shrubs by the faint light of a slender crescent moon in the night sky.

Doll's mouth, bitter herbs, wild chrysanthemum buds, all the wild vegetables that Wu Zheng had eaten before and could find in the grass, all dug them out and held them in the palm of his hand.

Suddenly, there was a fluttering sound from a bush beside him, and without thinking, Wu Zheng shook his hand and threw a small pebble towards the sound. Immediately, after one or two of the pheasant's dying wails came out, Wu Zheng walked over and stretched out his hand to take out a female pheasant with more than three catties in size.

Wu Zheng thought to himself, it is late spring, it is the season of pheasants to hold the nest, and when he squatted down, he reached into the bushes again and really touched a nest of wild eggs, and took them all out and counted them, there were twenty-eight.

When Wu Zheng, who was in a good mood, returned to the same place, he was worried again.

There is no problem with eating it raw, not to mention wild vegetables and wild eggs, even eating pheasants raw, after all, there is an experience of eating dead snakes for four days in a row, but can Tie Ning swallow it?

"Auntie, that's all I found. But you can't make a fire. ”

"Do you dare to eat it raw?"

Seeing Wu Zheng nodded, Tie Ning smiled and said:

"Since you dare, what is Auntie not daring for?"

It was the first time for Tie Ning to call herself "aunt" in front of Wu Zheng, and after speaking, she laughed coquettishly first.

Suddenly, a yin voice came from behind, which suddenly made Wu Zheng's whole heart cold.

"In the wilderness, in the middle of the night, lonely men and widows are naked, don't you have a little shame? Wu Zheng, what about the benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and wisdom that Mr. taught you at the beginning?"

"Wu Gan?!"

In exclamation, Wu Zheng quickly turned around, blocked the remaining half of the laughter that was swallowed into his stomach, and asked angrily:

"Why have you been following me all this far?"

"Hmph, if it weren't for Mr. repeatedly coming to the rescue, would you have survived to this day?"
