The morning mist has not yet dispersed, and everyone in the Lin family is already busy.
Lin Erhu and the others were going to the city to do business, while Ye Chuqiu was going to take people out to find Wu Ming.
"Mom, let's go first."
It is better to do business sooner rather than later. As soon as a hint of fish belly white appeared on the horizon, Lin Erhu carried two pancakes, pulled the goods on an ox cart and walked towards the city with the three tigers, the big leopard and the big bear.
The four of them set up a stall to do business together, and since they had each other's company, Ye Chuqiu and others didn't have to worry so much.
The morning light enveloped the sky, and gradually, a golden-red glow appeared on the horizon. Ye Chuqiu also had breakfast, and took two boy scouts with him, planning to catch Wu Ming.
"Mom, how about I go with you, Erbao, Erxiong is too young." Lin Dahu was a little worried.
"If you go, who will take care of the family? Hehua and the others are at home, how can you rest assured?" Ye Chuqiu said.
Lin Dahu scratched his head and was very troubled, "There are still too few brothers in the family. Mom, it would have been better if you had had a few more."
"If I have a few more children, I'll have to rely on you brothers. Mom doesn't have the ability." Ye Chuqiu said and walked forward.
"Why……"
Lin Dahu seemed to want to say something more behind her. Ye Chuqiu turned around and arranged: "If you have nothing to do today, go to the mountain and cut down more trees and cut them into seven feet long. Mom will be useful."
"Oh." Lin Dahu responded. He could cut the wood near his home. If something happened at home, Zhao Hehua and the others would shout and he would hear it.
Things at home were arranged, and Ye Chuqiu was finally able to set off. On the way, looking at the tense faces of Lin Erbao and Erxiong, she asked: "We are going up the mountain to catch bandits, are you two afraid?"
"Not afraid." Both of them shook their heads, and Ye Chuqiu smiled and said, "Why aren't you afraid? Even I am afraid."
"Auntie, are you also afraid?"
Hearing what Ye Chuqiu said, the two little guys felt a little incredible. Usually, Ye Chuqiu's image in their eyes was tall and unquestionable. Unexpectedly, she actually said that she was also scared.
"Of course, I'm afraid if they hurt us." Ye Chuqiu said, "But even if you are afraid, you still have to do many things."
"Yes." They both nodded, "Auntie, we will not be timid when the time comes. We will help you."
Ye Chuqiu laughed, "If we really find them then, when I fight with them, you should be smart and run away."
"ah?"
"You are here just to help my uncle find someone. My uncle is not as clever as you, but in terms of strength, you are no match for my uncle. You being nearby will distract me, so if I fight with them
When you get up, you should quickly climb into the tree, do you understand?"
"Got it." Both of them nodded in agreement.
Er Bao is sixteen years old this year, and Er Xiong is only fourteen years old this year. Boys at this age are somewhat middle school, full of enthusiasm, and are not afraid at all when it comes to catching gangsters.
Along the way, they were in high spirits, as if they would be able to bring Wu Ming and others to justice soon, and they themselves would soon become famous young heroes in the legend.
However, after walking for half an hour, the passion and enthusiasm in their hearts slowly faded, replaced by fatigue.
"Auntie, how long do we have to go?" Erbao couldn't help but ask.
"This aunt wants to ask you. Wu Ming lived in your house before. Please tell me about their daily routine." Ye Chuqiu said.
"They usually go out after lunch and take a nap, and come back when it gets dark at night," Erbao replied.
"According to what you said, the place where they blocked the road should be not far from Lin'an Village. People like them are definitely not that diligent. If it was really far away, they probably wouldn't come to live with you.
"
Ye Chuqiu analyzed it and said: "There is nothing difficult or dangerous on this road. Let's change to another road."
"Okay." Hearing Ye Chuqiu say this, the two children followed her back the same way and walked towards another road from the fork in the road.
"Don't be discouraged. Even if you can't find them, it's not bad to just go out and know the way and get familiar with the environment, isn't it?" Ye Chuqiu said as he walked forward quickly.
She walked quickly, and the two children trotted along with her, out of breath from exhaustion. Ye Chuqiu seemed to be deliberately training them, and did not stop.
It wasn't until Ye Chuqiu quickly arrived at a dark green forest that his steps slowed down.
This road is very muddy, with forests on one side and cliffs on the other, but if you are careful, you can pass people. Ye Chuqiu thinks that if you want to block the road and rob, this is a good place.
"You two look around."
Ye Chuqiu directed the two children to look around, and then he also started to patrol.
"Auntie, I found traces of someone here."
After a while, the two bears ran over. Ye Chuqiu followed him and took a look. He almost vomited when he saw a pile of human excrement.
"Er Xiong, why did you bring us to see this? It's disgusting." Er Bao yelled at the side.
"What do you know? This means that someone has been nearby." Erxiong said and looked up at Ye Chuqiu, "Auntie, do you think so?"
"Yes, Er Xiong deserves praise for your careful observation." Ye Chuqiu nodded, "Then go look around and see if you can find out where they live."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
After receiving Ye Chuqiu's praise, Erxiong became very excited and immediately ran around to observe. Ye Chuqiu also searched everywhere, and sure enough, he found a lot of traces nearby, even blood stains.
It seems that Wu Ming and the others have indeed blocked the road here before. If she can't find it later, she can try to stay here.
However, it would be better if we could find where they live. Who knows when they will come out to commit crimes.
Ye Chuqiu searched around. According to her idea, Wu Ming and the others must live in this forest, so she went to search in the forest, but she found no trace after walking a long way.
After searching for a while, she turned back and felt that in ancient times, it was really difficult to find a few people.
Not long after, Er Xiong ran over again, "Auntie, Auntie, I've discovered something."
"Did you find out?"
Ye Chuqiu was suspicious and followed Er Xiong forward.
Different from Ye Chuqiu's idea, Er Xiong went to the cliff. Ye Chuqiu followed him and walked to the edge of the cliff.
"Auntie, look at this."
Er Xiong pointed towards the edge of the cliff, and Ye Chuqiu actually found a path nearby. There were some weeds and vines growing on both sides of the path. It was hard to tell unless you looked closely.
Pushing aside the weeds, you can see the presence of footprints on the path. It seems that people often walk here, and the footprints are very messy.
Ye Chuqiu was overjoyed when she saw these footprints. She had a hunch that she had found the right place this time.
So she called Er Bao, and the three of them walked down the path to the cliff.
"Hahaha, here comes another fat sheep, and a woman too!"
Diagonally across the cliff, Wu Ming was sitting at the entrance of the cave, looking up through the gaps between the branches. His place was in a perfect location. People on the mountain path could not see them because of the obstruction of the shrubs and vines above. However, they were sitting in the hut, but they could not see them.
You can see the scene on the cliff.
As long as someone passes by, they will immediately grab the guy and climb up the path. Usually at this time, the merchants will just come down from the road in front and meet them.
