The group rushed all the way and soon caught up with the outside of the village.

On the way, Wei Zilian questioned while running: "Uncle, this direction is wrong, the man must be hiding in the village. If we continue to chase him like this, won't we be walking in opposite directions?"

Wei Sizhe kept walking and said: "It should be correct. The reason why the other party escaped from the village is that he was afraid of being chased home by Chu Yang. If he went around outside and confirmed that it was safe before going home, this would be a safe strategy. As long as we follow the clues, we can easily find the other party's hiding place."

"Alas, it's all our fault. We didn't understand the situation at that time, otherwise we would have caught that guy now."

Hearing this, Wei Chengzhi, who was traveling with him, was a little annoyed. If they could have come out one step earlier, they might have found the man in black and would not have misunderstood Chu Yang.

Chu Yang said generously: "It's okay, it's only two days late. Let's catch him off guard today. Maybe we can find his accomplices. Wouldn't it be killing two birds with one stone?!"

After saying this, Wei Chengzhi and Wei Guang were relieved and secretly determined to do more for you.

After catching up with Wei Zhonghua, Bukong slowed down and led the way in front.

Not long after, everyone caught up to an open field.

This is the field opened up by the Wei clan. The fields are connected in a chessboard style. One hundred meters ahead, Ruoye Creek flows through, dividing the entire land into two.

Everyone followed the hounds and chased all the way to Ruoye Creek. When everyone came to the creek, Bukong squatted on the bank, motionless.

Wei Zhonghua called a few times, but Bukong didn't get up. He turned to look at Wei Sizhe and sighed, "The smell stops here. It should have been washed away by the stream."

Wei Sizhe frowned and said, "No wonder the other party fled to the stream. Maybe he realized that the powder would leave clues, so he used the stream water to wash away the smell. Now it's troublesome."

Wei Zixuan stood by the stream and looked for a while, then said to Wei Sizhe, "Dad, why don't we go to the other side to look for it. Maybe we can find footprints or something, and maybe Bukong can find clues by smell."

The others also thought it made sense and agreed.

"No need to go through so much trouble."

At this time, Chu Yang said to Wei Zhonghua: "Uncle, take Bukong downstream. It will definitely be able to smell the previous smell."

Wei Zhonghua hesitated and said: "According to Bukong's reaction, the smell along the way should be very faint, and it will be very difficult for it to find it. If it wades through the stream, it will most likely disappear. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find anything else."

"Yes, let's listen to my cousin. If we can find footprints, we can still continue to chase them." Wei Zilian said in support.

Chu Yang shook his head and said: "That's too time-consuming. Many people saw us coming out, and it might be heard by the black-clothed man. If we delay any longer, the other party might take the opportunity to escape."

"What if we can't find the smell?"

Wei Zixuan asked hesitantly.

Chu Yang said confidently: "Don't worry, I am sure of what I said. No matter where the other party escapes to on the other side, he will definitely return quietly after confirming that he is safe. We have not taken action in the past two days, which is a chance for him to come back, so he will definitely cross Ruoye Creek again. Moreover, my pill is not ordinary. If it is contaminated by its smell, it will not dissipate no matter how you wash it, otherwise I would not dare to delay for so long."

"So powerful?"

Everyone was surprised. What is this pill made of? It has such a powerful effect!

Wei Zixuan said thoughtfully: "Your pill has such a strong smell. What if the man in black smells it? Will he cover it with something?"

"Don't worry, you can't smell it with your sense of smell. Only animals with a keen sense of smell like hounds can smell it."

"Then what are you waiting for? Keep chasing, so as not to have more troubles at night."

Wei Sizhe immediately gave an order after hearing this.

Wei Zhonghua took Bukong and chased downstream along the left bank.

Although Chu Yang's plan was good, the reality was not satisfactory.

The crowd walked along Ruoye Creek until they reached the water fort, but they did not find the smell left by the man in black.

After asking the villagers guarding the water fort, they learned that no one had left recently, which made everyone feel troubled for a while.

Chu Yang squatted on the shore and murmured: "Could it be that the other party has not returned yet? No, two days are enough for the other party to confirm safety. If he has been hiding in the wild, the villagers may find that there is one person missing, and his identity will be exposed at that time. Judging from this, the other party must have returned home."

Others also started to think about how the man in black would act.

"Wait, we seem to have forgotten something!"

After brainstorming, Wei Zilian suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a missing piece of information.

Wei Sizhe asked: "What did you think of?"

Wei Zilian pretended to be calm and said: "We have looked downstream, why don't we trace upstream?"

Everyone was startled, as if they had thought of something.

Previously, Chu Yang said that he wanted to trace downstream because the Wei family's villages were distributed along the Ruoye River. There were not many families in the upper reaches, so the black-clothed man was most likely hiding in the village downstream.

But now it seems that the black-clothed man did not return from the lower reaches, so the possibility of the other party returning from the upper reaches has increased a lot.

After understanding this, Wei Sizhe said: "There is no time to lose, let's hurry up, so as not to let the other party prepare."

With new clues, everyone was excited and set out on the road of pursuit again.

"Woof woof woof."

After chasing for more than a thousand meters upstream along the Ruoye River, Fukong suddenly barked a few times and ran forward.

"Sure enough, we found the smell!"

Wei Zhonghua shouted in surprise: "Follow me quickly, it seems we are not far from the target!"

Everyone's hearts tightened and they quickly chased after Fu Kong.

"Why is it here?"

After chasing Bu Kong somewhere, Wei Sizhe hurriedly asked people to stop.

This place has exceeded the scope of the village and is deserted. On the mountain a hundred meters away is the cemetery where some tribesmen bury their ancestors.

Except for people going to funerals here, you can't even see a ghost on weekdays. How could the other party hide here?

"Uncle, is that man in black not a ghost?"

Looking at the hillside lined with tombs, Wei Zilian's face turned pale. This was not a good place. It would be too dangerous if he encountered dirty things.

Wei Sizhe turned around and glared at Wei Zilian, but did not answer. He turned around and asked Wei Ranmin and others, "I remember there is a big Yizhuang here. Is anyone still managing it now?"

Wei Ranmin nodded and said: "The person who is still in charge of Yizhuang is still that blind man Wei. He must be over eighty years old now."

“It’s hard to see where the enemy is following, maybe the opponent is hiding in Yi Zhuang!”

Wei Sizhe took a deep breath and said to Wei Zhonghua: "Restrain Bu Kong and don't let him scream, so as not to alert the other party."
