Chapter 80 The Wolf's Den
I have been searching for several days, but I have not found the woman's right leg. Zhu You was a little restless, but found a lot of dead bones. I don't know how many people there are. I only know that the shin bone of the arm is found Seven.

In the depression on Fengbo Ridge, there are three big frames of bones, and Ye Ke's whole body feels cold when he sees it!
With a sullen face, Zhu You stared at the bones without saying a word. Why didn't anyone report the crime after so many people died?

"Where is the person who went to Anxi County to inquire? Have you come back?"

His voice suppressed his anger faintly. The officials knew that Mr. Ti Xing was about to get angry, and no one dared to touch the bad luck. Only one head catcher replied in a low voice: "Not yet."

"It's been a few days? What do you guys do? Ah!?"

No one dared to answer.

Ye Ke kept thinking, why did the woman's legs disappear?There are so many dead bones around here, logically speaking, that leg should also be found around, even if it is a beast, it shouldn't.
Thinking of this, suddenly Ye Ke's mind flashed, she thought of a possibility, the beast would take the food away from a long distance, that is: there are cubs!

Ye Ke got up suddenly, and everyone was startled when their nerves were tense.

"Master Ye, what's the matter?" Zhu You's voice softened, and the eyes of the servants showed helplessness, the difference was too great.

"My lord, is there a wolf's lair near here?"

"nest?"

Ye Ke nodded heavily, clenched his hands tightly, and was about to grab Zhuyou's clothes, "The woman's thigh is missing, it is very likely that there is a cub among the wolves, take it back I went to the nest to feed the cubs that were just born and unable to hunt!"

As soon as the words fell, a head catcher had already stepped up and ran up the hillside, saying loudly while running, "I'm going to find Orion!"

"Everyone, start searching immediately, looking for the lairs of wild beasts that ambushed you, not only the lairs of wolves, but also the lairs of some birds. I need to be more vigilant, the knife in my hand is clenched tightly, wild beasts are also very dangerous!"

"Yes!"

Everyone started to work together, and after a while they scattered into the woods to search for it.

As a prisoner, Zhu You has always taken the lead in these matters, and he also took the lead in searching. Ye Ke originally wanted to follow, but Zhu You refused, his eyes were full of worry. After all, Ye Ke's body Some are thin and small, if they really encounter birds and beasts, they may be in danger.

Ye Ke didn't insist either, so he could only honestly wait for the headhunter to find the Orion, and then set off. It would be safer to have Orion's leadership. Besides, Ye Ke also knew that at this time, Jian Jiu must be there secretly protecting himself.

In fact, she was a little anxious, because, judging from the condition of the woman's body, it was difficult to confirm her identity, and there might be a clue to break through on the woman's right leg.

About an hour later, the headhunter really came with the hunter Ma Liu. After Ma Liu stepped forward to salute, he led Ye Ke into the forest.

That Ma Liu was dressed in coarse linen clothes, with cloth strips wrapped around his head, a bow and arrow on his back, and a hatchet pinned to his waist. Standing there, he looked like a down-and-out middle-aged man. It will fall if you blow it, but after entering the woods, it is like a fish like water, and quickly opened a path in the woods with no place to stay.

Ye Ke and Catcher followed him, almost unable to keep up with his speed.

"My lords follow me, don't worry, basically there won't be wolf dens in these places, we have to go to higher places!" Ma Liu reminded as he walked.

Ye Ke became interested and asked, "Oh? Why?"

Ma Liu stretched out his hatchet and looked at a branch blocking the route, smiled and said: "Wolves like to live in groups, and if a female wolf wants to raise wolf cubs, she will basically choose a place with a cave or a mound to shelter from the wind. It's more difficult, the most likely place is the wolf's den, only the cliff over there!"

Ye Ke looked in the direction where Ma Liu stretched out his finger. In the gap in the forest, there was a place full of troubled times in the distance. When he looked up, there was a cliff that went up layer by layer. It is very smooth, but it looks like a hilly staircase. On the cliff, there are a lot of ferns growing, and there are also many protruding strange rocks.

The humming sound of the mountain wind in the forest is a little frightening.

Along the way, Ye Ke estimated that she had been walking for about an hour. If she walked through the forest by herself, she might not be able to go very far, but under the leadership of Ma Liu, the speed of movement was almost the same as that on the road.

After another ten minutes or so, Ma Liu stopped, squatted down slightly, and signaled to Butou and Ye Ke behind him.

"My lord, the area around here should be within the scope of the wolf's den!"

Ye Ke looked at Ma Liu's feet, and found that there were indeed wolf feces there. He immediately understood that this was a kind of warning from wolves to other animals, and it was also a boundary for the territory, warning the surrounding animals that they could not approach here. .

The head catcher gently pulled out the plain knife from his waist, held it in his hand, and looked around vigilantly.

Ye Ke whispered: "Since it is confirmed that there may be a lair here, it is best to go back and find a way to inform the adults that they are coming. The three of us are too risky."

She is a sensible person and understands the danger of wolves very well, but she is very worried about the greedy headhunter in front of her, and she is not even that worried about Ma Liu, because no one knows the danger of wild beasts better than a hunter. , Ma Liu immediately turned back and said: "Your Excellency is wise, wolves are scary. I have seen wolves eat people with my own eyes. Those wolves are so hungry that they even dare to break into the village!"

After thinking for a while, Ye Ke immediately arranged for the head catcher to let him go back and tell the adults to ask Zhu You to lead everyone here as soon as possible, but the head catcher refused.

"Ma Liu, you are walking fast, go back and report to Mr. Ti Xing. If something happens to me here, I can still protect Mr. Ye!"

Ye Ke thought for a while, and then agreed. After all, Ma Liu's speed in the forest was not as fast as the two of them. Ye Ke was worried about the loyalty of the hunter Ma Liu, so he promised to give him ten taels of silver as a reward. Sure enough, Ma Liu agreed with Qian Guang in his eyes.

After instructing the two to be careful, Ma Liu went alone, but he was afraid of something.

Not long after, a low howl of wolves came from the cliff face, and the figures of several gray wolves scurried up a few times. The head catcher suddenly became impatient, and said happily, "It really is here!" After saying that, Ye Ke let Ye Ke Wait here to explore the way first.

Ye Ke hurriedly tried to stop it, but the head catcher seemed not to hear him, and disappeared behind a rock, taking advantage of a good place to stay, and headed up the cliff.
