Rebirth of Shuangshu

Chapter 24

Going uphill is different from going downhill.

The way Shen Wu and Wen Shu fell down the mountain was too steep and lacked a foothold, so it was not suitable for going up the mountain.

Lin Xiaoxiao chose another route based on the inferred location of the emptying point.

The road slopes upwards along the side of the mountain.

Lin Xiaoxiao took out the climbing rope from her backpack and handed it to Wu Yong, asking everyone to connect each other with the rope.

This will prevent everyone from being too late to rescue if someone slips and falls.

Shen Wu was a little confused, he had never seen people dressed in strings before.But the villagers were not unusual at all and obeyed Lin Xiaoxiao's arrangement very much.

Shen Wu was afraid that others would dislike him for his ignorance, so he silently strung himself on the rope.

Lin Xiaoxiao changed her skateboard, held a ski pole in her hand, and put her sunglasses on her forehead. She was ready to go at any time.

Shen Wu looked at her curiously, and asked, "Miss Lin, don't you need to hang on the rope?"

"No, I will open the way ahead, and you follow the traces I left. Get over it, and try not to stop on the road. We will try to find someone before noon, so that we can return to the village before dark."

Without wasting time, Lin Xiaoxiao put on her sunglasses and slipped away.

The skateboard can compact the soft snow, and the people behind can walk along the route that Lin Xiaoxiao has skating more easily.

After skating non-stop for almost an hour, Lin Xiaoxiao's legs were almost numb, so she stopped to rest for a while.

Others can't keep up with the taxiing speed on foot.

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't wait for the people behind, drank some ginger soup, relaxed her limbs, and continued on the road when she felt okay.

On the road, we avoided possible wild beasts, and also avoided difficult routes.

Just before noon, Lin Xiaoxiao found the place where Shen Wu and the others might have stepped into the air.

Stopped and looked around for traces, unfortunately heavy snow covered possible traces.

Lin Xiaoxiao picked up a few stones and built a small three-story pyramid on the ground, and left a bamboo stick, and then searched around by herself.

The place Lin Xiaoxiao slid over was like a small road, and Mei Ya and the others walked along this road.

Because Lin Xiaoxiao disappeared after setting off, Shen Wu once wanted to ask questions halfway, but seeing the villagers continue to walk forward without hesitation, he suppressed the wavering again.

At noon, everyone arrived at the place where Lin Xiaoxiao left the bamboo sticks.

Shen Wu looked around in surprise, and found that this place was really the place where he missed his footing.

Mei Ya took the bamboo stick and handed it to Shen Wu after reading it.

"Shannv asked us to wait here, she went to investigate the situation around."

At this time, Mei Ya's father also came over and suggested: "My lord, everyone is tired after walking all morning, so I just happen to rest here and have something to eat."

Shen Wu felt that this was the truth, so he agreed.

So the group rested in place and took out the soup and dry food they carried to replenish their strength.

Lin Xiaoxiao turned around a few times, but still found no other traces.

Since there is no trace, it can only rely on guesswork.

When Shen Wu and Wen Shu fell down the mountain, the others must have been frightened, and they probably didn't dare to move forward again.Then they will most likely find a place to temporarily hide from the wind and snow.

A place to hide from the wind and snow. There seem to be a few caves nearby where people can hide.

Lin Xiaoxiao once came to this mountain to quarry with the Fang family.The stones around here are a bit like marble. She likes the texture on them very much, and she once planned to use these stones to build a fish pond in the hot spring villa.

In the third cave, Lin Xiaoxiao found someone.

She was sure that someone was hiding in the cave not far ahead, and the traces of human activities at the entrance of the cave explained a lot.

But she didn't just go there rashly, after all, she didn't know the person she was looking for, and the other person didn't know her either.If the other party thinks she is a bad person, it will be embarrassing.

Lin Xiaoxiao immediately went back to look for Shen Wu, and then led a group of people to the cave.

There was another burst of chicken and dog jumping at the scene.

Find the right person.Everyone can go back down the mountain.

Lin Xiaoxiao watched coldly for a while, gave Mei Ya and Wu Yong a few words, and quietly left alone.

When Shen Wu, Shi Zi and the others recognized each other and cried enough, Mei Ya's father stepped forward and told him that it was time to go down the mountain.

At this time, Shen Wu thought of Lin Xiaoxiao again, but he couldn't find her figure among the group of villagers behind him, so he knew that she had left first.

"Miss Lin, take a step first and go down the mountain earlier to inform the village chief, so that the village can make some preparations in advance."

"Ms. Lin said, let's just follow the path she left behind."

The prince looked surprised and asked, "Who is this Lady Lin?"

"Returning to my son, Mrs. Lin is a herb picker in the savage village. She is very familiar with this mountain range, and it was she who led us to find my son."

Shen Wu didn't think it was strange that Lin Xiaoxiao could find someone, but he admired her ability to know the way very much.

Shen Wu wanted to recommend Lin Xiaoxiao to the crown prince.With such a person who can know the way, you will not get lost if you run for your life later.

A man with the appearance of a scribe walked out from behind Shizi, and said to Shizi, "Your Highness, it's getting late, let's hurry on our way as soon as possible. We can talk about what Swordsman Shen Wu said after we get down the mountain."

The prince nodded quickly, and said to the others: "Everyone pack up your things and go down the mountain immediately."

Lin Xiaoxiao slid all the way back to Wuzhang Village, and almost immediately went to the village chief to discuss things.For the convenience of talking, the two went to the unmanned public loser.

"Wen Shu is sick, and I'm not allowed to go to the city to find a doctor. It's dangerous to talk about it in a daze. I suspect that something happened to Ban Cheng."

"Have you sent someone to Bancheng to have a look?"

"Let the Zhong family boy go, but he hasn't come back yet."

"When Wu Yong comes back, I will drive with him."

"Let's talk about it."

"One thing is confirmed. The masters of Shen Wu and Wen Shu are the princes. I guess they were hunted down."

"Pursuing and killing? The duke of the state has only one son, the eldest son. Could it be that there is a high official in the court who betrayed the country?"

"I don't know for the time being, but I have to find a way to determine what happened in the capital city. I am a little worried that they will attract pursuers to the village."

After hearing Lin Xiaoxiao's analysis, the village chief also became worried.

Will a person who dares to hunt down and kill the prince show mercy to a group of savage villagers?The answer is probably no.

"How about that?"

"I thought about it for a while, why not just let them live in the hot spring villa, and I will bring Aunt Jiang and the others back. Everyone lives in the village. This way, they can be separated from the village by a certain distance, and maybe they can get rid of the relationship. "

"Even if they live separately, it's hard to separate the relationship. Someone has to be sent to serve them."

"I can only try my best, it is better than letting them live in the village. There are more than 20 of them, and it is too inconvenient to live in the village."

"There are so many people? It seems that something happened to Bancheng, otherwise they should go to the city with so many people."

"It's not too late, I'll drive to the villa to pick up people, and then drive into the city after Wu Yong comes back."

"Shannu eat something before leaving."

"I can't eat, so I have to bring Aunt Jiang and the others over to eat with peace of mind."
