Time passed by in a hurry, and in the blink of an eye, almost seven or eight minutes passed...
Seeing that Wu Xie was indeed as in the original plot, neither the remains of the campfire nor the bushes where he hid when he overheard the conversation between Uncle Tai and the five last night could not be found...
Ding Ze thought that it was time to remind him, otherwise, the image of a superior person he had established before would more or less collapse, so he pretended that he suddenly remembered it and pointed to the location of the remains of the bonfire.
He opened his mouth and said to Wu Xie, "Wu Xie, I remember, it seems to be over there."
Wu Xie and Lao Chu heard this and both looked in the direction of Ding Ze's finger.
"Go and have a look," Wu Xie responded, "This damn place is the same everywhere, I can't tell the difference at all."
With that said, Wu Xie raised his foot and moved it directly in the direction of Ding Ze's finger.
Ding Ze and Lao Chu followed suit together without making a sound.
About a minute later.
Next to the remains of the campfire.
Wu Xie smiled helplessly, "Brother Ding, you are still awesome."
"^_^, it's not that I'm awesome, but your sense of direction seems a bit poor and needs to be improved," Ding Ze joked with a smile.
"(⊙o⊙)...Indeed," Wu Xie said with a slightly embarrassed smile, then skipped the topic, looked down at the remains of the bonfire on the ground, and said seriously, "I hope there can be some information about Uncle Tai left here.
Let’s seize the time to look for clues as to where the five people went.”
"Yeah," Ding Ze and Lao Itch responded together.
The three of them moved slowly and carefully observed the ground.
I saw that although it had not rained in this place in the past two days and the ground was relatively dry and solid, because there were many weeds on the ground, the traces of the five Uncle Tai's people trampling on the weeds last night could still be roughly distinguished.
Ding Ze watched for a while and saw some traces. However, he did not say anything, but pretended not to notice and continued to observe, waiting for Wu Xie to make a sound.
A few seconds later.
"Here," Wu Xie said, pointing to the vaguely trampled weeds on the ground, and then pointed in a direction, "They should be heading this way."
Hear this.
Ding Ze and Lao Chu walked a few steps together and approached.
Ding Ze glanced at it and said, "It looks like that."
Lao Itch followed and said, "Then---let's go--let's go!"
------------------
The three of them chased the seemingly absent traces on the ground and moved forward... until the traces on the ground gradually pointed to the mountain road not far ahead...
At this moment, looking at the mountain road...
It should be said or not. Even if he knew what was going on in advance, Ding Ze would still be a little depressed.
Depressed, Ding Ze smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that we are just looking for something to do, wasting our energy and going around in a circle."
When Wu Xie heard this, he shook his head helplessly and said nothing.
Lao Itch said, "It's so frustrating, Lao Wu, your plan is not reliable."
"...Stop talking nonsense, our efforts are not in vain, at least now we can basically confirm that they are walking along the mountain road," Wu Xie replied angrily, "Let's go, let's speed up, I'll
I don’t believe I can’t catch up with them.”
Lao Itchi didn't make any more noise.
The three of them quickly walked to the mountain road and moved forward quickly...
At noon, the three of them walked to a place about two or three meters away from the end of the mountain road.
Suddenly.
The scene ahead appeared in the three people's field of vision.
I saw that the road two or three meters ahead was no longer a man-made and neat mountain road, but a road that just proved the saying "There is no road in the world, but when people walk more, there will be a road."
Goat path.
This winding path passes through a forest where the trees are obviously much denser, and extends deep into the forest...
See the situation.
Ding Ze subconsciously moved his mouth, intending to suggest taking a rest, eating something first, and replenishing his strength...
But as the words came to my lips... I remembered that one of the purposes of the Qinling Sacred Tree Bureau was to train, or in other words, cultivate Wu Xie's ability to lead a team...
He swallowed his words and said nothing.
‘In the plot about the sacred tree in the Qinling Mountains, I should try my best to concentrate on assisting, and try not to dominate the development of the plot when it is not necessary,’ Ding Ze emphasized to himself in his mind.
The three of them continued forward and reached the last step, which meant the end of the mountain road.
At this time, Wu Xie stopped, sighed, and said, "It seems that after Uncle Tai and his group left last night, they probably walked all night without stopping at all... We may not be able to catch up."
On..."
When Lao Itch heard this, his acting skills improved, and he asked anxiously, "Then---what should we do?"
Wu Xie frowned and thought for a while, "Let's not chase for now. Let's rest here for a while, eat something, and regain our strength... It seems that not even the mountain patrol team will go on the road ahead. We
Then going forward, you have to really enter the deep mountains and old forests."
"As far as I know, there are many wild beasts in the Qinling Mountains. The big ones include tigers and bears, and the small ones include wolves and wild boars... If we are unlucky and encounter one or two, they will probably be enough to eat them.
Several meals.”
"We must retain enough physical strength, otherwise if we encounter a wild beast, we won't have the strength to escape..."
"Besides, Uncle Tai and his gang don't seem to be very good people. If we catch them, we will need to have enough physical strength to deal with emergencies."
Wu Xie said in a very clear and logical manner.
Words spread.
Ding Ze smiled, said nothing, moved slightly, and sat on the edge of the stone steps.
Immediately, he took off his backpack, put it to the side, gently pulled the zipper, and opened the backpack with a small opening that would not reveal the submachine gun, shotgun or other weapons in the bag. He reached in and took out a few packets of bread and a bottle of mineral water.
Water comes out.
"Then if you really can't catch up with them today, what are your plans?" Lao Itch was silent for a few seconds and then asked.
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wu Xie did not answer immediately. He sat down on the steps and pondered for a while, "According to the information I found before, the people near Snake Head Mountain are
In the forest, there are many temporary shacks built by herb collectors."
"It is said that in that kind of shack, there will be cooking firewood, and even dried bacon..."
"We will enter the forest in a while. While we continue to chase Uncle Tai and the others, we will pay more attention to where there are shacks."
"If we still haven't caught up with Uncle Tai and the others before dark, then we will find a shack, rest for a while, and then make plans..."
"This place is still a long, long way away from the real depths of the Qinling Mountains. I believe there must be some small villages near Shetou Mountain."
"Tomorrow we can go to the village to replenish supplies, and by the way, we can ask where there is a fight to take down."
Wu Xie said.
Ding Ze listened silently, gnawing on the dough, and turned his head slightly to look at Lao Chu.
I saw that at this moment, Lao Itch was exactly as described in the original work, his face turned green.
‘This acting skill is awesome!’ Ding Ze couldn’t help but thought with admiration as his eyes fell on Lao Chu’s face.
The idea just came out.
It was as if he heard Ding Ze's admiration and felt that he had to further demonstrate his superb acting skills to prevent Ding Zebai from being admired. His face turned green and he spoke in an anxious tone.
"Ah! Do you still have to go in?"
"You - look at this - there is not a single ghost around here..."
"Either --- or we can --- just look around here --- and say --- maybe we're lucky and just --- find one or two ---
-Two people slipped through the cracks."
When Wu Xie heard this, he shook his head and began to ridicule decisively, saying, "Damn you, where did the ambition you had before coming here go..."
Bah bah bah bah.
"The destination of our trip is deep in the real Qinling Mountains, where there are no roads. Do you understand?"
After receiving a lot of retorts, Lao Itch became unhappy and said, "Okay, okay, you - you are an expert, I will - totally listen to you. Then - then eat quickly and finish -
Leave quickly!"
Hear this.
Ding Ze grinned, feeling that it was necessary to brush up his presence, so he moved his mouth and joked at Wu Xie with a smile.
"Comrade Wu Xie, I haven't seen you for a few days. You have changed so much. I feel like you are almost like your third uncle. Look how pitiful you are to the old brother."
"If this trend continues, I believe it won't be long before I have to call you Mistress instead."
