Wan Lin and Zisheng quickly raised their guns and aimed in the direction of the old man's finger. The old man continued: "Follow the river upstream for forty or fifty kilometers. You will pass through a very steep canyon along the river and you will be able to reach the end of the river.
At the entrance of the valley, we saw a large mountain four to five hundred meters high in the distance. Our original village was on the hillside facing the entrance of the valley, so it was easy to find."
After listening to this, Wan Lin pondered for a moment, raised his finger and pointed to the mountainside road on the side and asked: "How far is the old village you mentioned from this mountain road?"
The old man squinted his eyes and looked at the road and replied: "There is a mountain road of more than ten miles. The original village had a small dirt road leading to this road along the foot of the mountain, but it is very difficult to walk now. Now the small road is full of
Stones rolled down the mountain, and a lot of weeds grew on it. Alas, a road is not a road if no one walks on it! So now few people know about this abandoned mountain village."
The old man seemed a little melancholy when he mentioned this former residence. After all, it was the place where his ancestors had lived for generations, and it was also the place where he had lived for most of his life.
Wan Lin nodded after hearing the old man's words and thought to himself: "From the old man's narrative, we can tell that it is indeed a suitable place for temporary hiding. The dilapidated houses not only provide shelter from wind and rain, but also have not been inhabited for two years.
The surrounding area must be overgrown with weeds and inaccessible. If outsiders didn't get closer, it would be difficult to find such an abandoned mountain village on the hillside."
Thinking in his mind, he raised his hand and pointed to the mountains in front of him and asked: "Uncle, are there any other places where people can hide in these mountains?" The old man raised his hand and pointed to the mountains in the distance and said, "It is said that we can hide here.
There are really many places, and there are many caves in the mountains in the distance."
When the old man said this, he stared at the distance and continued: "However, the caves in this mountainous area are not deep, and some of them contain poisonous snakes and wild boars. Recently, some people have seen leopards in this mountain, so these caves are
Caves are very dangerous. If there is no food or drink, it is difficult for people to stay in them for a long time."
After Wan Lin and Zi Sheng asked the old man about the topography of this mountainous area, they were filled with gratitude to the old man. Wan Lin then turned around and looked towards the side hillside, where Xiaobai was running slowly beside the goats that had been driven back.
There was a faint red light in his two eyes, and his expression looked very majestic. A group of goats had crowded together in panic, and each one tried their best to avoid Xiaobai's red eyes. They looked very frightened, and their long hair
The wool was trembling slightly.
At this time, the old man also turned around and looked up the hillside. He saw that his group of goats were so frightened by the little white cat. He asked in surprise: "Why is this little kitten of yours so powerful? It is simply better than any other shepherd dog."
It still works. What kind of kitten is this? I’ll look for one too. With a kitten like this helping me, I won’t have to worry too much.”
Wan Lin and Zi Sheng laughed when they heard what the old man said. Zi Sheng smiled and said to the old man: "Hehehe, no one knows the breed of this kitten. You can never find a kitten like this." Wan Lin said to the old man with a smile.
Lin also smiled at the old man, then waved to Xiaobai, then raised his hand with Zisheng to salute the old man and thanked him, and walked down the mountain with Xiaobai.
The old man watched Wan Lin and his two men walking down the hillside, and then noticed that there were already several armed soldiers standing at the foot of the hill. He rubbed his eyes in shock, looked down the hill and murmured: "Good guys,
There are so many people hiding under my nose! This group of soldiers is so elusive, so powerful." After saying that, he shouted to the sheep and walked towards the side hillside.
Wan Lin and Lin Zisheng returned to the foot of the mountain. The leaders of the three groups, Feng Dao, Cheng Ru and Zhang Wa, were waiting for them under the rock. Wan Lin quickly walked over and briefly informed them of the situation.
For a moment.
After introducing the situation, he raised his finger and pointed at the military map laid out on the rock by Feng Knife and said: "Based on the current situation, the enemy is likely to use this abandoned small village as a temporary hiding place. According to the old man's narrative, the abandoned village
The small mountain village should be at this location, just upstream of the river, about forty or fifty kilometers away from us."
After Wan Lin finished speaking, he raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and then said: "Let's follow Xiaobai and continue tracking. If the other party really escapes to this abandoned mountain village, we can arrive in this area in the evening, which is just right.
Use the cover of night to operate. Let’s set off now and pay attention to the cover between each group!”
"Yes!" Feng Dao and the others straightened up and replied. Wan Lin pointed to the grass in front of Xiaobai who was lying on the rock. Xiaobai's eyes flashed red, and he waggled his tail and ran forward.
Feng Dao followed immediately with Lin Zisheng and Bao Ya. Chengru and Zhang Wa also issued orders to their team members, and then ran towards the mountains on both sides with their guns in hand.
Near noon, Xiaobai led Wan Lin and his party to the small river that reflected the white light. After the few people walked upstream for two or three kilometers along the river bank, Xiaobai, who was lowering his head and smelling the smell in the grass, suddenly
He stopped.
It lowered its head and turned left and right for a while on the shore. Suddenly it stood up and jumped onto a stone exposed in the river. Then it lowered its head and smelled the stone. Then it jumped up again. In the blink of an eye, it was already there.
Came to the other side of the river.
It wandered back and forth on the opposite shore with its little head lowered for a long time, looking at Wan Lin on the other side with a confused look in its eyes.
Wan Lin saw Xiaobai's expression and understood that he had lost track of him here. He raised his eyes and looked upstream along the river, and found that the water in this section of the river was not deep, and the shallow parts were barely submerged.
It is ankle deep and does not go below the knee, so it is indeed suitable for wading in water.
He looked at the slowly flowing river in front of him and thought to himself: "The other party must be worried that someone is following behind with a police dog, so they jumped into the river and went up the river, trying to use the flowing river water to cover up their smell. They are now in the mountains.
After running away all night, we still suspect that there are pursuers behind us. These boys are indeed very vigilant."
He looked away from the river in front, turned to wave to Xiaobai on the other side of the river, then took out his phone and dialed Li Dongsheng, reporting to him the overnight tracking.
Li Dongsheng's order soon came over the phone. He held up the phone and immediately replied in a deep voice: "Yes, we will never let these bastards escape. Kill them immediately if they encounter them!" After saying that, he looked at them.
The comrades who were on guard by the river with their guns raised whispered to the Chengru people who were walking over: "Li Tou has given an order to kill the enemy on the spot if he encounters it!"
