C46 Mountain Trail

046

At this time of the year, the plants on the mountain had already withered. Wang Shujie walked in front and picked up a branch to transfer the dead grass. He told Wu Tie, who was behind, to be careful not to trip over the bricks.

"Ye-zi, come take a look quickly!" Ye Zi was looking for clues, so he slowed down and fell behind. In front of him, Wang Shujie turned around to call Ye Zi.

"What's wrong?" Ye Zi asked while walking.

"Look over here, it looks like someone stepped on it in the last few days. Look, there are still footprints here," Wang Shujie pointed at the ground as he straightened his back and looked down, "Look, they are heading towards the back of the mountain. What kind of people are they? If they go further into the mountains, there are even wolves."

Normally, the villagers would not go in at all, and even if there was a hunter, this was not the way.

Ye Zi quickly walked over and checked. The footprints were messy and new. Looking further, there were plastic bottles of mineral water, plastic bags, and leftover food wrappers on the ground. "Not us mountain people, mountain people won't bring these things to eat and drink."

People of the mountain usually use military canteens to drink water and eat steamed buns steamed bread cooked by their own stalls. Ye Zi's heart suddenly thumped, and for some reason, he thought of those prisoners who escaped from prison.

Wang Shujie said doubtfully, "It couldn't be someone out there poaching, could it? Why don't we follow this trail and take a look?"

"No," Ye Zi immediately rejected him, "You also said that they might be poachers, so how could those people not have anything in their hands. If they meet you, do you think we can deal with them barehanded? "I'll tell old village head then."

The people who had previously discovered poachers were reported to the village and then to the police station. If it was really a fugitive, then it would be even more vicious than a poacher. People like Deputy County Magistrate Xie who even dared to torture to death were afraid of commoners. Ye Zi didn't think that he would be able to deal with these people after training for a while.

Thus, it was better to report back to the village.

Although Wang Shujie was a little restless, he knew Ye Zi was right. Those people had guns in their hands. What if they were called out of hiding and used guns against them? " "Alright, let's return to the village."

The two of them immediately turned around and went down the mountain to old village head's home. They told him about what they found on the mountain, and when Lin Wu Tie heard that, he immediately called his men and asked Wang Shujie and Liu Tie to bring the two of them up the mountain to investigate. Then, the soldiers split into two groups, a portion of them went down to the police station to report.

Returning from the hills and seeing Grandpa Wang at his door, Big Brother Tangson found out that his grandfather had gone into town with old village head's son and asked his older son to find out about Ye Dong. Big Brother Tangson said he knew and took Wang Shujie back to his room to read and wait for what had happened. As Wang Shujie thought about what had happened on the mountain, and Big Brother Tangson was a little disturbed, he ran over to Wang Shujie's house and made a phone call. It was for Big Brother Tang and he wanted to find out where the fugitives were, but the phone was turned off and Big Brother Tangson had no idea what to do.

Wang Shujie was excited. He turned around and noticed that Ye Zi's mood was completely different from his. Then, he asked, "Ye, what are you worried about? You're not worried about that bastard Ye Dong, are you? "

Who's worried about him, "Ye Zi glared at him, took out the newspaper he brought back last time and showed it to him," Did you see that? I'm worried that these fugitives might come to our side.

Wang Shujie looked at the big piece of tofu a few times before he said, "It can't be, it can't be so coincidental. Besides, these people must have been caught by the police when they escaped. In their early years, they had even killed wolves and Blind Bears. In terms of experience in the mountains, no one could compare to them, and in addition, even if they were fugitives, they are no more familiar with the terrain of the mountains than Old Uncle and the others. Taking them around a few laps would be enough to confuse them. "

Wang Shujie was very optimistic. Ye Zi was right. Those who entered the mountain were all experienced veterans. If they really met him, it wasn't as if they had no other choice but to settle down and read the book.

The four of them stayed overnight in a village outside of Donggou Village. Early in the morning, they walked towards the more remote Donggou Village under the lead of the village. The five borrowed a bicycle from their village and relied on one of these two wheels to travel.

The fortyish black faced villager wiped the sweat off his forehead with his sleeve, then turned to the Vice County Lord and said: "Vice County Lord, it is not convenient for these Donggou Village people to come in and out. Nowadays, young people rarely stay in the village, only a few old people and children are left. If the higher ups could allocate some money to cultivate this road, the Donggou Village would not be so poor right now.

"Are there many villages like our Angxi County now? "It seems that I still have to come down to take a walk more often in order to understand the situation." Deputy County Magistrate Xie sighed.

"There are still many poor villages, but they don't have the money to build roads. Even our village's roads aren't so good. We can't just leave when it's raining." This hometown sighed, "Vice County Chief, let's rest here for now, we will reach our destination in half of the journey. We can stay at Donggou Village for the night and come out tomorrow morning."

"Alright, I'll listen to Uncle." He and Tang Lingqiu found a place to sit down under their hometown's guidance, while Qu Chen brought Zhao Jun to check the surroundings.

The three of them sat and chatted, listening to the stories of their hometown. Drinking the water they brought out while it drizzled, they brought their raincoats out and didn't wear it on their bicycles. About ten minutes later, Qu Chen and Zhao Jun returned. They secretly made a few gestures towards Xie Qingrong and Tang Lingqiu. The two of them immediately understood that they had already discovered the other party's traces.

If not for Tang Lingqiu's reminder, Xie Qingrong knew that he would really fall into the enemy's trap this time, and would not have expected the enemy to be so brazen as to do such a thing. He would push the blame onto the prisoners afterwards, and since he had nothing to do, he would still act in a domineering manner and act as the local tyrant to earn the dishonest black money.

Xie Qingrong has made up his mind to root out these malignant tumors.
