In the woods on the hillside, Wan Lin saw his grandfather staring at the woodland. He quickly walked over with the bullet casing. He walked to his grandfather and looked down. Sure enough, there were several vague footprints on the muddy forest floor, and there were also traces in the footprints.
There are remnants of the rain from last night.
He lowered his head and looked carefully for a while. The footprints were very blurry in the rain. At first glance, there were several muddy puddles. There was no difference at all. He didn't know how his grandfather could identify the four people.
footprint?
He straightened up and looked at his grandfather with some confusion and asked: "Grandpa, the footprints have been soaked by the rain. How could you tell that they are the footprints of four people? I have looked at them for a long time and they are all the same. They cannot be made by one person moving left and right."
Footprints?"
The old man lowered his head and pointed to a few puddles on the grass and explained: "Look, these footprints look like puddles at first glance, but if you look carefully at their shape, you can tell that they are human footprints. Judging from their shape, they looked like human footprints at that time.
These people were standing at the edge of the forest looking down the hillside. If the footprints were made by one person moving sideways, it would not be possible to be arranged so neatly under the trees near the edge of the forest. Therefore, these footprints should be made by four people at the same time.
Standing under the tree, hiding oneself, looking down the hillside."
The old man turned around and looked around, and then said: "They should have seen a prey down the slope here, so one of them suddenly grabbed it. The footprints on the slope below have been washed away by the rain from last night's heavy rain, so we
No footprints were seen below. There was a creek on the side of the woods, and they should have collected their prey there."
At this time, Wan Lin heard his grandfather's analysis and realized that they were indeed traces of several footprints, and the toes were all facing the hillside below. It was indeed four people hiding under the tree at the same time.
He looked at the old man and nodded, and said thoughtfully: "It seems that the other party should have used an assault rifle to aim at the prey on the hillside and shoot a short burst. This guy's marksmanship was quite accurate, and he killed him with just a short burst.
Prey, we have to be careful. Grandpa, let's go to the creek and take a look?" As he said that, he reached into the concealed weapon bag on his waist with his right hand, and quickly caught a few steel needles with his fingers to prevent any accidents.
At this time, a rustling sound of grass suddenly came from the forest in front. Wan Lin and his grandfather immediately hid behind the tree and looked into the forest. It turned out that Xiao Hua suddenly ran over from the hillside above.
The little flower rose and fell in the weeds in the forest, and in a blink of an eye it appeared in front of Wan Lin and Grandpa. It lowered its head and glanced at the puddles in the grass, with a faint blue light in its eyes. It stood up and faced Wan Lin.
Lin and Grandpa raised their right paws and pointed toward the forest above them.
Wan Lin and Grandpa glanced at each other. Outside the forest was the direction of the stream they were going to check. Xiaohua must have discovered something there? Wan Lin immediately bent down and patted Xiaohua's head, then whispered:
"Come on, let's go over and take a look." Xiaohua shook her thick tail, turned around and ran towards the side of the forest. Wan Lin saw Xiaohua running out, holding a few steel needles in his hand and whispered to his grandfather: "
Grandpa, follow me." After saying that, he looked at Xiao Hua's back and strode away.
The forest is very quiet. The arrival of the little flowers has caused the animals living in the forest to flee without a trace. Even the chirping of insects whispering in the soil has disappeared. The dim trunks of trees are revealed on the forest floor.
The shadows of the trees are like figures standing in the forest.
Wan Lin and Grandpa followed Xiao Hua out of the woods. A gurgling stream was slowly flowing down from the rocks on the hillside. The stream reflected the luster of a silver chain in the sun. The waves splashing among the rocks came and fell one after another, like grains of water.
Reflecting the bright luster like pearls.
Wan Lin walked out of the woods and immediately looked around with vigilance. He followed his grandfather to the creek where Xiao Hua was standing and stopped. A faint smell of blood immediately penetrated Wan Lin's nose. He lowered his head and looked around Xiao Hua.
There were some colorful feathers scattered in the grass, and the soil under the grass roots was still faintly soaked with patches of red blood.
At this time, grandpa had already raised his head and looked around. He bent down and picked up a feather from the grass and said: "These feathers have lost their color. Those boys should have come here yesterday morning and shot this pheasant."
"But a chicken can't fill their stomachs. They should have hunted other prey around them." He then looked at Xiaohua standing on the rock and asked: "Xiaohua, have you seen anything else?"
Xiaohua heard her grandfather's voice, stood up and pointed to the hillside above the stream, then jumped off the rock and ran up. Wan Lin quickly followed, and he followed Xiaohua to the stream on the hillside above.
Sure enough, there were two rabbit skins thrown next to the rock, and some hare internal organs were scattered in the grass below.
Wan Lin glanced at the mountains across the creek, walked back to his grandfather and said thoughtfully: "Yes, there are two rabbit skins and some offal on it. It seems that they had a meal in the forest. In the forest
There should also be traces of fire. This place is inaccessible deep in the mountains, and even hunters rarely come to this part of the mountain. And these people appearing here with guns in their hands should not be our hunters, but most likely drug dealers transporting drugs.
"
The old man nodded, looked up at the hillside across the creek and said: "Yes, they must have taken a detour into the depths of this sparsely populated mountain to avoid police interrogation. They must be carrying contraband. Nothingness
Yesterday he told me that he met several gun-toting drug dealers in this mountain half a year ago and told me to be careful when I go back."
When Wan Lin heard that Taoist Master Xu Wu had encountered drug dealers in this mountain, he frowned and asked, "Was Taoist Master Xu Wu injured at that time? Those people are all very dangerous gangsters."
The old man replied coldly: "They don't have the ability yet! That day, Xuwu went out to collect medicine and came back. As soon as he walked near the waterfall behind Xuanxu Mountain, he saw three people standing by the puddle next to the waterfall.
Ying.Xiwu didn't know they were drug dealers at the time, and thought they were just a few hunters passing by the mountains accidentally. He didn't want to strike up a conversation with outsiders, so he turned around and left."
"Unexpectedly, those boys also saw Xianwu at this time. They immediately pointed their guns at Xianwu and yelled at him to let him pass. At that time, Xianwu did not expect that these people would carry weapons, so he immediately faced the opponent's gun.
He walked over calmly. As soon as he reached the edge of the waterfall, the three boys came over and snatched his basket with food. One of them greedily grabbed the dried meat in the basket and stuffed it into his mouth, and then asked
