Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan and others rested temporarily in a small temple. During the conversation, Ma Xiaoquan learned that Hua Yue could understand the language of animals...
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and thought it was incredible. Knowing the horse language? This is something that is impossible to achieve even in modern society.
Hua Yue shrugged: "Nothing is impossible. I have this ability since I was a child. Well, not only that, I can understand many livestock and birds."
"Isn't it?" The more Ma Xiaoquan listened, the more he felt that something was wrong. If what Hua Yue said was true, wouldn't she be very powerful?
Hua Qingqing said again: "Ma San, don't believe it. The reason why our family has a lot of well-informed information is thanks to my little aunt. After listening to a lot of birds' words, my little aunt told us
, that’s why we knew it.”
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head. Although he still didn't believe that Hua Yue would be like this, he saw Hua Qingqing's affirmative expression in the dim light of the fire and said nothing more.
"In that case, Sister Yue should know a lot of things, right?"
Hua Yue shook his head: "I just didn't feel well a few days ago, so I paused the intelligence collection at hand, so I didn't collect it. Well, it was only yesterday that my body recovered..."
"Well, if that's the case, sister Yue, can you ask some little bird to help us go to the front and explore further?"
Hua Yue shook her head and said with a smile: "We need to rest at night, and so do the little birds."
Ma Xiaoquan said oh, and was secretly glad in his heart. Fortunately, the little birds also rested at night. Otherwise, he and Dongfang Beiming had a lot of conversations in Meiwu Town and asked her to borrow those little birds.
knew.
"Okay, without further ado, it's time for us to hide. Those unknown guys should be here soon."
"Um"
A few people put out the fire, and then each hid behind the statue. Not long after, the door of the small temple lit up.
A group of people broke into the small temple, and the temple immediately became bright.
"Damn it, what should I do if that guy escapes and loses his eldest brother? Should we continue chasing him?"
"Of course...huh? There's someone here."
"What? Someone? Where is it?"
"Don't make such a fuss as if you just left. Well, there is a pile of fire ashes here. It should have been put out not long ago."
"Big brother, big brother, I also found horse hoof prints here, one, two, three... there are five horses in total, eh? Why did these five horses go in different directions?"
"Okay, now that we're gone, don't think about it so much anymore. Come here, we'll have a good discussion."
...
Behind the statue, Ma Xiaoquan sat quietly. The group of people in the temple were discussing the next move. Because their voices were too low, Ma Xiaoquan did not hear anything.
At this moment, the "big brother" suddenly said loudly: "That's it, you guys, don't do any more bad things to me."
"yes"
"Also, you guys need to rest for an hour and then we'll set off immediately, otherwise we won't be able to catch up with that guy."
"That's right, brother, why do we want to rob that guy? I don't think we can use the small box he bought."
"You know you are better than us, of course we can't use it, but we have other buyers."
"oh"
...
Behind the statue, Ma Xiaoquan was secretly surprised. Although he knew that after Zhao Wenyi bought the underground detector, many people would be concerned about it, but he didn't expect that the news would spread so quickly... Well, I just don't know where Zhao Wenyi is now.
?
An hour passed in the blink of an eye. During this hour, Ma Xiaoquan and others closed their eyes to rest. As the hour passed, the group of people in the temple finally made new moves.
"Get up, get up, it's time to go"
"Ugh, I'm so sleepy."
"Stop talking nonsense, do you want to get rich soon?"
"Ah? Think about it, yes, yes, yes"
...
After the group left for a while, Ma Xiaoquan and others secretly walked out from Shenxianhou. After looking around to make sure that nothing was unusual, they gathered together cautiously.
"Should we follow?" Dongfang Qingxue suggested.
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "That's what I meant, but our horses are temporarily gone, so we have to run to keep up. Well, do you guys have any questions?"
Dongfang Qingxue and Bei Mingxue shook their heads, indicating that there was no problem. Hua Yue and Hua Qingqing also shook their heads, indicating that it was okay.
Ma Xiaoquan is not worried about the two girls from Dongfang Beiming, because they have the same habit of practicing martial arts as him every day. But Hua Yue, as she just said, just recovered yesterday, I'm afraid...
Hua Yue saw Ma Xiaoquan's worry and said with a smile: "Ma San, don't worry. If I can't keep up, just leave me alone. Don't worry, I will catch up with you."
Ma Xiaoquan was a little embarrassed, but since everyone made it clear, he could only scratch his head and said: "Well... well, if you have any questions, please tell me immediately."
Hua Yue nodded: "Okay."
Several people packed their luggage and set off immediately.
Trotting all the way, Ma Xiaoquan took the lead, followed by Bei Mingxue, Hua Yue and Hua Qingqing were third and fourth, and Dongfang Qingxue was at the back.
I ran intermittently for an hour. At this time, the sky gradually turned a fish-belly white color.
"Ahead..." Ma Xiaoquan suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed not far ahead.
The few people behind him stopped and came forward to look in the direction of Ma Xiaoquan's finger.
"That is... who is that person, and why is he standing motionless?"
"I don't know, I can't see clearly. You guys wait for me here and I'll go over and take a look."
"Ma Xiao...well, husband, be careful..." Bei Mingxue almost let it slip.
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and trotted over.
...
There was deathly silence in front of him. A dozen men's corpses were lying in various directions. Only one of them was standing. Judging from his appearance, the standing one should be the eldest brother from before, but... none of them...
They couldn't breathe, and there were two blood stains in front of everyone's nose.
Ma Xiaoquan knelt down, dipped his finger into the blood on the ground, then put it in front of his nose, smelled it, and picked it up with his hand.
"Fresh..." Ma Xiaoquan approached a corpse and looked at it carefully. In front of the man's nose, he collected another blood sample.
