After Jiang Li sprinkled chili powder on the road, the local dog came to where they were before. It was about to smell the scent left by Jiang Zhongwen, but unexpectedly smelled the strong and pungent smell of chili powder.
The chili powder was so potent that even though they had been gone for a while, the chili powder had been in the air for a while.
The local dog's nose is very sensitive. It only needs to take a slight sniff and the strong smell will stimulate it to jump up and down.
The local dog kept barking and sneezed several times with strange sounds.
"What's going on? What's that smell? Why is it so spicy?"
The person who followed took a quick sniff and immediately noticed something was wrong.
This place is so spicy, it's obvious someone has sprinkled chili powder on it.
The smells that native dogs cannot stand the most include pepper and chili powder.
Local dogs have sensitive noses, and these smells are too irritating, which will cause their sense of smell to be impaired after just one sniff.
The local dog was irritated and completely ignored its owner's instructions. It kept barking with its head raised, baring its teeth and crying. This shows the power of the chili powder.
However, they could smell the scent of chili powder, which also meant that Jiang Zhongwen was very likely nearby.
But this man was too cunning and actually used such despicable means. If he weren't so shameless, Tu Gou would have found him quickly.
It was already dark and everyone was hungry, so they were anxious to go back and eat.
Even though the local dog was in poor condition, they still forcibly pulled the leash and dragged it forward.
They walked forward for a while, and the local dog jumped up and down in anxiety. The smell of chili powder was stronger here.
When the local dog smelled it, it immediately started to cry and sneeze non-stop.
At this time, the local dog is strongly stimulated and can hardly smell anything, and is unable to track.
Several other people also kept sneezing. The smell of chili powder was too pungent. Not only dogs couldn't stand it, but even people couldn't stand it.
They continued walking forward and came to the third place, where Jiang Li had prepared more chili powder for them.
The condition of four people was not optimistic, and they suffered irritation to their eyes and noses.
The four people's eyes were red and swollen, tears were flowing uncontrollably, and they kept sneezing. They felt so uncomfortable that they just wanted to turn around and leave.
But there is still a mission to be completed, and no one knows whether there will be other chili powders waiting for them on the road ahead.
Everyone felt very uneasy. This uncomfortable feeling filled their minds, making them confused and completely losing the ability to think.
At this time, the local dog had completely lost its sense of smell. It rolled on the ground in pain, raised its head and barked non-stop, as if only this could relieve the pain.
The barking of the local dog could be heard from far away in the silent night. Shen Changan, who was approaching here quickly under the leadership of Goudan, heard the barking of the dog from afar.
He raised his head and looked in the direction of the barking dog.
"Why is there a dog barking in the middle of the night? Could it be?"
Shen Changan thought of a terrible possibility: the people in the quarry discovered that Jiang Li had escaped and were tracking her with dogs.
When Shen Changan thought of Jiang Li being taken away by someone with a dog and running for his life in the mountains in the middle of the night, his heart ached like a needle.
He silently clenched his fists, disregarding his own safety, and once again quickened his pace in the dark.
This time he did not follow Goudan's advice and take a detour, but rushed directly in the direction of the barking dog.
The road he had just chosen was completely untraveled by anyone, and as he ran so fast, his clothes and pants were torn again and again, leaving wounds all over his body.
Shen Changan was like a robot that couldn't feel the pain, still running forward desperately.
Without the help of the local dogs to track, the people in the quarry were like blind men with their eyes gouged out in the dark night.
They knew Jiang Zhongwen was nearby, but they couldn't find him right away.
They could only continue to move forward based on instinct, but the latest section of the road they were walking on had not been opened up by Jiang Zhongwen.
The road was littered with mud and rocks, and clusters of thorns were hidden on the roadside, occasionally tearing their clothes and pants.
This was the first time they had to look for someone like a blind man, and the feeling was extremely painful.
Because they didn't know whether Jiang Zhongwen moved forward or stayed nearby.
The local dog kept screaming and lying on the ground, refusing to move forward. They could only drag the dog by the leash, which added an invisible burden.
Jiang Li and Jiang Zhongwen, who were hiding in the tree, heard the barking of dogs fade away, and they both felt relieved.
Jiang Li stayed in the tree for too long. When she came down from the tree, her hands and feet were shaking. If she had stayed any longer, she probably wouldn't have been able to hold on.
She stood under the tree and brushed off the debris and dead branches on her body. She leaned against the tree and rested for a long time before she felt a little more comfortable.
Jiang Zhongwen often hangs out in the mountains and often climbed trees when he was young. Although this time it took a longer time, he still managed to hold on.
However, he was very tired after all this trouble, mainly because he was hungry. His calves were shaking because of hunger.
Although his younger sister is already 14 years old, she is not yet able to take care of herself. Jiang Zhongwen did not go back home beyond the time limit and is now particularly worried that she will be hungry.
"Jiang Li, are you okay?"
From time to time, the barking of local dogs could be heard in the distance, and various small insects on the mountain chirped one after another, making the entire forest seem even quieter.
"I'm fine. I saw you were hurt quite a bit just now. How are you feeling now?"
"Except for being a little hungry, everything else is fine."
Jiang Zhongwen held his stomach, which was so hungry that it made a rumbling sound.
Jiang Zhongwen's face turned red and he lowered his head, not daring to look at her.
Jiang Li took out an oil-paper bag from his pocket and handed it over.
This was a pastry she had prepared earlier, originally intended to be eaten when she went on a long trip, but she didn't expect it to come in handy now.
"What's this?"
"Just take it if it's given to you. Why are you asking so many questions?"
Jiang Zhongwen opened the paper package and immediately smelled the rich aroma of yam and glutinous rice.
"Is this yam glutinous rice cake? I heard it's sold for one yuan per pound. How dare you give me something so delicious?"
Jiang Zhongwen quickly took a bite, and the sweet and soft taste filled his mouth.
He had never eaten such delicious food in his life. Jiang Zhongwen ate it slowly, bit by bit, for fear that he would not be able to taste the deliciousness if he ate too fast.
Jiang Zhongwen only ate one piece and couldn't bear to eat it anymore. He wanted to leave the rest of the cake for his sister.
"Why don't you eat anymore? I'll take it back when you're full."
Jiang Li teased him deliberately, so Jiang Zhongwen quickly ate another piece and gave the remaining two pieces to Jiang Li.
"You must be hungry at this late hour. You should eat something too."
"I don't want to eat it. I still have some. If you want to leave it for your sister, keep it."
