[Chapter 2057 Yan Wushuang Fanwai (12)]
Xu Bo and Yan Wushuang spent a lot of money to buy two horses in the town, and then rode to Spring City.
After a day of running, I passed a county town. Xu Bo wrapped their steamed buns and dumplings round in a steamed bun shop. Then, without stopping for a moment, he continued on his way.
“Uncle Xu, these grains are enough for us to eat for five or six days.” I feel that I bought a bit too much.
“Be prepared.” Once there is an accident, you have to take the mountain road, and it is time-consuming to find food in the mountains for those who have not eaten.
Yan Wushuang asked, “Uncle Xu, after a day of running, we can’t stand it, but the horse can’t stand it.” The horse also needs to rest and eat.
Uncle Xu turned his head to look at Yan Wushuang and said, “It’s very dangerous to stay in an inn.” Once the body in the pit is found, the other party will look for this clue. If you live in an inn, you can catch the turtle in the urn, and there is no way to escape.
Before Yan Wushuang could speak, Uncle Xu said, “Xiao Hei, as long as you are negligent, you will die. So don’t take a little luck, or the price will be your life.”
Yan Wushuang is not a self-willed person. Hearing this, he nodded and said, “I see.”
After the two were full, it was already dark. Because there will be night light at night, the two rushed to the night road. Compared with the daytime, the speed of horseback riding is obviously much slower.
After another hour’s journey, Xu Bo saw that Yan Wushuang was exhausted and said, “Let’s rest here!”
Not daring to stay on the side of the road, Xu Bo took Yan Wushuang into a dense grass that was taller than a person.
As soon as the horse let go, he started to eat.
The night in October was relatively cold. Yan Wushuang wanted to light a fire, but was blocked by Xu Bo: “Boil it for two days, and you can do whatever you want in Spring City.” You must be cautious in everything.
“good.”
Peace of mind all night.
The sky was bright, and the two ate three buns that were as hard as stones, and then continued on their way.
In the afternoon, I saw a puddle on the side of the road, and it happened that their four water bags were empty. Afraid that there would be no water in front of him, Xu Bo called Yan Wushuang to stop filling the water.
Yan Wushuang was filling water, and Xu Bo was used to sticking his ears to the ground. After listening for a while, Xu Bo said to Yan Wushuang, “Xiao Hei, come with me.”
Instead of riding on a horse to continue on the road, he took Yan Wushuang to lead the horse up the mountain.
Yan Wushuang asked with some doubts: “Uncle Xu, what’s wrong?”
“do not speak.”
After a while, Yan Wushuang heard the sound of hooves. However, he didn’t take it to heart. These people should be soldiers and horses going to Tongcheng!
Horseback riding was fast, and the group quickly passed by the foot of the mountain. After Yan Wushuang and others left, they wanted to lead the horse down, but they were stopped by Uncle Xu.
“I saw Hong San in this group of people just now.” Although the group of people ran very fast, he believed his eyes.
Yan Wushuang said in shock, “How come?”
“Xiao Hei, we have already been targeted. The road can’t be walked, we have to take the mountain road to Spring City.” If you walk on the road now, you will be arrested soon.
Yan Wushuang was not stupid and asked, “Did we expose it because of what happened the night before?”
Uncle Xu nodded, seeing Yan Wu’s double-faced expression of annoyance and said, “Xiao Hei, don’t regret it even if it’s wrong.” It was Yan Wushuang who said that he had to save this group of people, otherwise he wouldn’t take action.
Yan Wushuang nodded.
If you want to walk the mountain road, two horses will become tasteless. Xu Bo did not let go of the two horses, but killed them.
Yan Wushuang said worriedly: “Uncle Xu, if the other party finds the body of the horse, wouldn’t they know where we are?”
“If you let them go, it will be easy to be found. At that time, the traces will be exposed earlier. If you kill them, there may be wild beasts to eat them at night.” After speaking, Xu Bo looked in the direction of Spring City. He said: “From here to Spring City, it only takes three days if the mountain road is smooth.” If you ride a horse, you can reach Spring City tomorrow afternoon. It’s a pity, let’s fight for this day!
After killing the horse, Xu Bo asked Yan Wushuang to drink the blood of the horse, but unfortunately Yan Wushuang did not drink it. The raw blood was fishy and smelly, and he couldn’t drink it.
Uncle Xu himself drank a lot of raw blood, then cut some meat and wrapped it in clothes.
This mountain road is no better than the official road. It was bumpy and full of thorns, and Yan Wushuang’s clothes were shaved not long after walking. There were also several cuts on his face. However, he didn’t say a word.
Soon it will be dark.
It’s dark in the mountains, and there are wild beasts, so they don’t dare to travel at night.
They found a big tree, cleaned the bottom of the tree, and the two sat down against the big tree.
After resting for a while, Uncle Xu took the horse meat and gave it to Yan Wushuang: “Eat it!”
Yan Wushuang didn’t want to eat it.
“I don’t have the strength to eat steamed bread alone. Eating this can quickly replenish my strength.” Seeing that Yan Wushuang was still reluctant to eat, Xu Bo said, “Although we bought dry food for five or six days, we now have three or four days to travel. You If you don’t eat this meat, you may have no food to eat later.” There are wild things in the mountains and forests, but it takes time to catch them. Also, if you catch it, you have to eat raw meat.
Horse meat was fishy and unpalatable, and it was impossible to swallow.
Seeing that Yan Wushuang vomited the meat, Uncle Xu said, “This meat is unpalatable, but it’s better than nothing.” People who are really hungry eat even soil.
That being said, Xu Bo still cut the meat into small pieces. Yan Wushuang endured nausea and swallowed the meat without chewing.
Yan Wushuang said: “Uncle Xu, you go to bed first, I will take a break to practice the exercises. In the second half of the night, I will sleep in my place.”
Xu Bo nodded.
In the afternoon, Xiang Hongda asked a lot of pedestrians along the road, and all of them said that they did not see any middle-aged man with a black and thin child.
Lian Guo said: “Mr. Xiang, these two children may not be the people we are looking for.” He was sent by Tong Chunlin to assist Xiang Hongda in arresting people.
He also asked about the Hong San family and the group of refugees, and everyone said that Xiao Hei was a cowardly and timid boy. Yan Wushuang is a tyrant in Shengjing, arrogant and domineering, and the two have nothing in common.
Xiang Hongda glanced at Lian Guo and said, “These two people are currently the most suspect.”
Although it is said that the black child and Yan Wushuang are different in appearance and temperament, these can be disguised. The only thing that can’t be disguised is height. This boy named Xiao Hei was about as tall as Yan Wushuang. The most important thing is that so many people died on the night the father and son disappeared. No matter how you look at it, it feels weird.
Of course, Xiang Hongda was not sure at first. After all, there are capable people in this world. But after tracking for so long, there was no clue at all, and he dared not let go of anything unusual. Afraid of letting go, let people escape from under the nose.
Even Guo didn’t raise the bar with Xiang Hongda, he just said: “Our general analysis, Yan Wushuang should be going back to Tongcheng.”
Xiang Hongda snorted and said, “Then set up levels along the road. Yan Wushuang has been in Shengjing and Tongcheng since he was a child. In addition to Mandarin, he can also speak in Shengjing and Tongcheng.” So every level , must carry out a strict check on the boy of this age and height.
Lian Guo’s heart moved, and he asked cautiously, “Sir Xiang, this little black is dumb. Do you suspect that if Yan Wushuang was afraid of revealing his accent, he deliberately pretended to be dumb?”
“It’s not impossible.” But all this, we have to wait until the father and son are caught to know.
After walking for half an hour, they encountered a caravan. When asked by Guo Guo, the responsible person of the caravan said with certainty that no one on horseback had passed by.
When Xiang Hongda heard this, his face was a little ugly.
Lian Guo asked, “Master Xiang, have you found anything?” He wished that Xiang Hongda had discovered Yan Wushuang’s trace and caught Yan Wushuang earlier. This way, you can sit back and relax completely. Otherwise, I really worry about being wiped on the neck in my sleep.
Xiang Hongda said: “In the morning, passersby saw an old man and a young man riding a horse. In the afternoon, no one along the road saw them. Mainly” If the riding is too conspicuous, it is difficult to remember.
Even Guo Neng being Tong Chunlin’s confidant is not stupid: “Master Xiang, what do you mean, the two of them abandoned their horses and walked the mountain road?”
“But why?” That doesn’t make sense! The horse rides well, how can it suddenly go down the mountain road.
A faint light flashed in Xiang Hongda’s eyes: “It must be that they found something wrong, so they abandoned their horses and walked the mountain road.” He was only suspicious before, but now he basically confirmed that this young man named Xiao Hei must be Yan Wushuang.
After searching for so long, I finally found a clue, and even Guo was very happy: “Master Xiang, what should we do now?” There are mountains along the road, and it is not easy to find two people.
Xiang Hongda said: “To go to Tongcheng, you must pass through Spring City. You send someone to guard the gate of Spring City.”
It is only a day’s journey from Spring City on horseback, and only three or four days on foot. Therefore, there is no delay. Lian Guo nodded and said, “I’ll go on now.” Tong Chunlin specifically asked him to assist Xiang Hongda, or he would take someone to the gate of Spring City to guard.
Xiang Hongda turned back and went to the place where the last pedestrian said he saw the two riding horses and began to follow the horses’ footprints.
In the place where Yan Wushuang filled the water, Xiang Hongda also saw two footprints of horses, and they disappeared after that.
Standing at the foot of the mountain, Xiang Hongda said, “They must have gone up the mountain from here.”
Lian Guo was still very convinced of Xiang Hongda’s ability, and immediately took someone up the mountain with him to find someone.
Not long after going up the mountain, the group saw a pile of horse bones. The horse corpse was pulled out of the pit by the wild beast, eating the flesh and leaving the flesh and blood.
Lian Guo was very happy to see these horse bones. Now that there are clues, it should be able to catch people soon.
Seeing the excitement on Lian Guo’s face, Xiang Hongda poured a basin of cold water on him: “The person who follows Yan Wushuang is a master. It’s not that easy to catch Yan Wushuang.” The other party must be a master of disguise, yes He underestimated the opponent’s strength, so he wasted so much time.
Lian Guo Wenyan hurriedly said: “Master Xiang, you must catch Yan Wushuang.”
He must be someone he can trust to be sent by Song Huaijin to hunt down Yan Wushuang.
Xiang Hongda said, “Don’t worry, I will definitely catch them.” Otherwise, you will betray the trust of Grandpa Guo.
