Xu Muxian held up a torch and searched.

Finally, I saw an entrance on the side of the thorns, and there were two footprints on the ground.

Xu Maqian now knew what was going on.

There is a high possibility that Wang Yuqing, the kid, chased his prey from here.

Xu Maqian took Yang Xiaoer and entered the thorn bush from the entrance.

There is a trail inside, like a secret path used by animals.

It was filled with all kinds of sour and stench that made people unable to breathe.

Xu Muzhen held the torch and quietly covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief with her other hand.

She had noticed just now that the second son of the Yang family was walking behind and his breathing was much lighter.

The mouth is still bulging like a little frog about to coo.

The two walked along this path for a while before they came out.

During this period, they found another fragment of clothing on the road.

Seeing that the color and geology were Wang Yuqing's clothes, Xu Muzhen felt quite relieved.

Fortunately, I didn't look in the wrong direction.

Otherwise, with only two footprints, she would really be unsure whether the person who entered was Wang Yuqing.

Standing at the exit of the thorn bush, the two of them looked around.

The surrounding woods were dense, there was no moonlight, and everything was pitch black.

They stood holding torches, as if they were standing in the mouth of a huge monster, which made people feel scared.

"Ms. Gu, which direction are we going?" Yang Xiaoer carried a bow and arrow and looked around with vigilant eyes.

It seemed like something terrible would jump out of the darkness and tear people apart.

He has never been here before and knows everything about it.

People are always full of fear of unknown things.

Xu Muchian held up the torch and looked around.

I searched carefully on the ground and found no useful information.

She was thinking in her mind, which direction will Wang Yuqing go after leaving here?

Finally, after thinking to no avail, Xu Maqian decided that she would use the most primitive method to decide which direction to look for someone.

She looked at the stick in her hand and threw it into the sky with a strong force.

In the dark night, I could only hear the sound of "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh".

Yang Xiaoer was dumbfounded, why did Mrs. Gu throw things into the sky just because she didn't agree with her?

And it was thrown so high!

I haven't seen the stick fall for a long time.

"Goo!!" I saw the stick fall, and heard a miserable crow of a chicken first.

A colorful and fat pheasant fell from the tree and made a plop on the ground.

The two of them were so frightened that they unconsciously took two steps back.

"This... this pheasant?" Yang Xiaoer was dumbfounded. What kind of operation was this?

Mrs. Gu threw a stick, and pheasants started to rain from the sky.

He couldn't help but look up at the sky, wondering if if he threw a stick, a pheasant would also fall.

Xu Muzhen was a little embarrassed and said nonchalantly, "This pheasant may have been hit by a stick and fell to death, haha..."

She then looked up to the sky.

Was her stick thrown into outer space?

Why hasn't it fallen yet?

······

The two waited for a while, but the stick still did not fall.

Yang Xiaoer scratched his head and said hesitantly, "Ms. Gu, do you think the stick is hanging on the branch?"

"Ah!" Xu Maqian seemed to have recovered, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Yes! I wonder why I didn't fall down for so long."

She really thought she threw the stick too hard and it flew too high!

Xu Muchian looked at the big trees around him.

Look, the branch was stretched too far and was blocking her stick from coming down.

The two of them looked up for a while, then saw the big tree on the side that was as thick as three people.

Its branches are the densest and most spread out.

Most likely it's hanging on top.

Yang Xiaoer looked eager to try. He is best at climbing trees.

Then he said with some excitement, "I climbed the tree, please help you shake the stick down!"

After saying that, the person started to prepare to climb the tree.

"Don't!" Xu Muzhen stopped.

It's dark now and I can't see anything clearly. What's the danger if I climb a tree...

"You stand here, I'll do it!" After she said that, she handed the torch to Yang Xiaoer.

Then he circled the big tree twice.

After choosing a location, Xu Maqian kicked the big tree hard.

Just a "bang" sound was heard, and the big tree made a sound and shook a few times.

A lot of branches fell from the tree, causing the two of them to hold their heads and dodge.

"Wow! Madam Gu, how did you do this?" Yang Xiaoer was extremely surprised.

Why did she just turn around in a circle and drop the branch without even seeing it?

"Just a kick." Xu Muzhen looked around for his stick.

"Kick her?" Yang Xiaoer thought she must be joking.

It’s not like she is born with supernatural powers. How is it possible that a woman can make such a big noise by kicking a tree?

Even a few big men can’t do this!

He looked at Xu Muzhen who was picking up the stick and followed him.

In my heart, I attribute all this to the mountain wind blowing, or the mountain god grandpa showing up to help.

Xu Muchian looked at the fallen stick and pointed it to a place.

Xu Muchian took a look and saw that there happened to be a way.

She picked up the stick and said, "Let's go in this direction."

"This way?" Yang Xiaoer wanted to ask how she knew.

But seeing the way she vowed, he followed her.

Following behind, Yang Xiaoer looked at the dark woods. He felt that he really couldn't stand it unless he said something.

Except for the occasional sad bird calls, it's really quiet and scary here.

"Ms. Gu, do you think it was the mountain god who was helping us when the branches fell out just now?"

Yang Xiaoer followed beside him and couldn't help but ask.

He wanted to find something to talk about, and he couldn't walk so quietly.

"Uh~!" Xu Muzhen listened to his question and didn't know how to answer it.

He told the truth just now, but obviously he didn't believe it.

"Maybe it's Grandpa Mountain God who appears!" Xu Muxian followed his words.

Since he felt in his heart that it was the mountain god who did it, he said so.

"I also think it's Grandpa Mountain God who appears. I hope Grandpa Mountain God will bless us and find Wang Yuqing as soon as possible." Yang Xiaoer said with a pious expression after receiving Xu Muzhen's approval.

Just as he finished speaking, Xu Muzhen heard a loud roar coming from a distance.

The frightened night birds flapped their wings and fled in all directions.

Xu Muchian was shocked when he heard the voice.

Isn't this the roar of a bear?
