Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 710
"You don't know that, do you?" Yazai said proudly: "That old Zhang and I have been friends for many years, if I don't go, he won't come."

I gave him a blank look, even though he has friendship with Lao Zhang, it will definitely not be because of Yazai himself, this is a task, not a child's play.

Yazai shrugged his shoulders, as if you don't believe it and forget it.

I don't know what to say, I just feel that his appearance is a bit naive, but Lao Yan at the side laughed and said that Lao Zhang's ability to come this time is indeed a bit of a child's credit.

Yazai was even more proud when he heard the words, I stopped talking immediately, I just felt embarrassed, he really couldn't tell that Lao Yan was just being polite to him?

However, his appearance made our atmosphere more lively. The red eyebrow incident and the depression brought by the people in southern Xinjiang, after being rushed by him like this, it immediately became much better.

Ms. Qiu and Kumbu had already kept vigil with their binoculars, and the gopher and I had to keep watch in the second half of the night, so we chatted casually, and then wrapped ourselves in sleeping bags and began to rest.

To be honest, this mountain is really cold. Fortunately, when we were preparing things, Lao Yan mentioned that all we brought were thick clothes and sleeping bags, otherwise there was really no way to rest.

I huddled in my sleeping bag, originally I wanted to hold on for a while longer, to sort out my thoughts, but just as soon as I lay down, sleepiness swept over me, and my mind suddenly became a mess, I couldn't help myself to think about it, just so dazed fell asleep.

I slept more peacefully this time. When Ms. Qiu called me to change shifts, I was still in a daze. I rubbed my eyes and took the binoculars. I patted my face with the other hand and heard Ms. Qiu say everything. If there was no change, he got up and found a place to watch, and looked towards the stockade with a binoculars.

Seeing this, I woke up in an instant, quickly woke up the others, and also pulled Miss Qiu who was about to sleep, and asked her if she really didn't see anyone leaving the village?
"No, what's the matter?" Miss Qiu also realized that something was wrong, and frowned.

Kumbu on the other side also said that he did not see any traces of people coming and going.

I took a deep breath, pointed to the shelf at the end of the stockade and said, "The clothes there are gone. Although there are still two pieces left, the important ones are all gone."

Ms. Qiu grabbed the binoculars quickly, her expression changed after taking a look, she said it was impossible, she and Kunbu were staring at it, it was impossible that they didn't see any movement.

I didn't use the binoculars, but just stared at the village like this: "What if they walked underground?"

Our thinking was wrong. They may be waiting for news here, or they may be opening up another road.

This stockade looks like a graveyard. Although Kunbu said that this shape is not uncommon in places of ethnic minorities, but this place was chosen by Chimei and the others as a foothold, so everything is different.

If they leave quietly along a certain tomb passage here, we will never find anything!

Lao Yan and the others were also startled by our movement. After listening to my analysis, they took a look through the binoculars and said, "Let's go!"

I grabbed him and said, "We still have to wait for experts."

Lao Yan was stunned, but after a while he made a decision: "Baby, you go to the bottom of the mountain to pick up the experts at dawn, we will try our best to mark you, and you can follow."

This is too risky, if the boys can't keep up, there is no way to solve our passive situation.

"I'll let the Shadow Gu follow you." Kunbu released a Shadow Gu from his sleeve, touched it slowly, and the Shadow Gu crawled directly onto the boy, and then slipped into his pocket.

Kunbu said that no matter where he is, Shadow Gu can find him, so there is no need to worry.

The boy nodded and said nothing.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Lao Yan immediately picked up his backpack and ran down the mountain to the stockade.

I followed behind him, and felt that Chimei was too cautious in his actions. Even though he was not sure whether we were following, he still chose a route that would be the least likely to be discovered.

If it weren't for the fact that I am more interested in the clothes of ethnic minorities, I would have looked twice more with the binoculars before, I am afraid that I would not be able to find it at this moment, and then I would just guard the empty stockade so foolishly.

I have to admire Chimei's method. Although this Yushu looks like a stockade, it is still a county. It may be some distance away from the main county town, but it is definitely not far away. He is able to hibernate here...

But now is not the time to admire him, if we lose track of him, it will be embarrassing to say the least!
A group of us shuttled through the forest, and Lao Yan told us not to take it too lightly, in case Chimei left behind.

Even if Lao Yan didn't say that we were one or two, he wouldn't dare to take it lightly. It's not normal to use red eyebrows to not leave us behind.

Although it was already dark, but fortunately the moonlight was not bad, and our speed was very fast. When we were approaching the foot of the mountain, Lao Yan picked up the binoculars and looked at the village again, and then frowned.

"Chimei and the others really left?" Lao Yan looked back at me.

I pointed to the place where the clothes rack was placed. I took a look before it was dark, and it was still there, but now it was midnight, and the clothes were gone. This behavior was really strange.

Lao Yan rubbed his chin, then looked at Kumbu, Kumbu understood, and a Gu worm quickly flew towards the village under the cover of night.

This is a mountainous area, and it's not yet autumn. The weather is very hot, so it's not surprising that there are so few bugs, so don't worry about being discovered.

We waited silently, not daring to turn on the lights, and we never opened our mouths even if we could use gestures to talk, so as to minimize the danger.

About ten minutes later, the Gu worm flew back, Lao Yan looked at Kunbu questioningly, and the latter stayed by the Gu worm for about a few minutes with his ears sideways, and then slowly said: "Is there anything in the village?" people!"

My first reaction was that no one was right, which meant that everyone had left, but then I felt something was wrong, how could there be no one?

This village isn't too big, but it's not too small either. Lao Yan and Kunbu just visited last night, which means there are still villagers living in it. Why is there no one in just one day?
Besides, no matter where Chimei goes, he won't use these villagers, right?

Lao Yan's brows were furrowed even tighter, and after a while, he decided to go and have a look first.The gopher persuaded him to think clearly, saying that this village is no different than other places, and the people here are tough, and if something goes wrong, we probably won't be able to deal with it.

What the gopher said is not unreasonable, but now is the critical moment, Chimei should have left, and the villagers in the village have also disappeared. If we don't look at it, we don't know how to go next...

It would be fine if the experts could arrive earlier, we can use the method of investigation, but now that the experts have not arrived, we must first go deep into the tiger's den.

"Go in!" Lao Yan said indisputably, "Be careful, and pay attention to concealing your figure."

After listening to his instructions, I knew that he was still suspicious of the possibility that there was no one in the village, and I doubted it too, so I quickly wrapped myself in black clothes to minimize my presence, and then under the command of Lao Yan, I walked from the side. The trail approached the stockade, and after making sure no one saw it, he quickly entered, and then found a hidden place.

The others did the same thing. We first searched around for places suitable for ambushes, and then ran back and forth in the stockade for a few laps. Finally, we found a problem—there was no one here, let alone people, even poultry. Not one!
After confirming that no one was around, we stopped hiding and walked out of the darkness.

"How could this be?" Old Yan murmured.

People can follow, but can those poultry also?

We have been to the foot of the mountain before, although we did not go in, but the sound of poultry and the unique smell all indicate that there are actually poultry in this village.

Lao Yan didn't understand, saying what the hell is Chimei doing?

"Go into the house and have a look." Drilling Mole said.

The five of us scattered and searched in various rooms, hoping to find some clues.
