Chapter 237 Finding Traces

The high priest also woke up. The weather was foggy and the visibility in the entire forest was no more than fifty meters.

She took out a few pills from her bag and poured them out to Jiang Jiu and the others.

"This is a pill to prevent miasma. Take one to detoxify."

After eating the rabbit meat, Jiang Jiu rested for a while, drank some water, and then took the antidote.

The high priest took out the compass, turned it left and right, and pointed forward: "This is the west, and the blank space should be there."

Yesterday, Jiang Jiu and his friends analyzed that the man who took Bai Yue away was either very familiar with the jungle or had certain survival skills, so he was very likely to take Bai Yue to that empty place.

But now there is white fog all around, and I don’t know if they can tell the directions, or if they will get lost.

Jiang Jiu's eyes suddenly lit up: "Fire can disperse the fog. Let's look for their traces first."

The group took the time to eat. After Jiang Jiu and Zhao Zhuoxi were full, they looked around for clues. Sure enough, Jiang Jiu saw a scratch mark, which was not very obvious, under the tree.

"Is this the clue Bai Yue left for us?"

After walking a little further, Zhao Zhuoxi said, "It doesn't look like that. It looks more like the clues that person left behind. If he wants to go in, he must come out. He must be afraid of getting lost."

Jiang Jiu tried to guess that they should have just gotten up at this time, walked here, and the fog dissipated. They needed to find the correct direction and mark their way.

I continued walking forward, and sure enough, there was another similar sign.

Jiang Jiu said: "Go this way, they have indeed gone to the empty area on the map."

A few people ignored the fatigue and continued to move forward. After another day of hard walking, at night, when they were about to light torches, Jiang Jiu suddenly pointed forward.

"Look, there's smoke over there..."

Where there is smoke, someone is lighting a fire. There is no one else in this forbidden area, so it is most likely Bai Yue and the others.

Jiang Jiu was about to shout when Zhao Zhuoxi covered his mouth.

"Don't panic, let's go and take a look. If that man has kidnapped Bai Yue, let's catch him."

Several people rushed towards the bonfire quickly.

Sure enough, at the campfire, I saw two people, a man and a woman.

The man was a stranger to everyone. He was thin and wore a long gown from Yunzhai.

The woman was Bai Yue.

"Hush." ​​Zhao Zhuoxi began to instruct them, "Lu Ming, let's go and subdue the men, and then you come out."

At this time, wherever they moved, the surrounding weeds made sliding sounds.

The man looked around warily.

Bai Yue said unhappily, "Don't look here. This is a forbidden area in Miaojiang. No one dares to come here except you."

The man looked at Bai Yue and sighed heavily.

"I don't want to take you with me either. You saved me, and I can't thank you enough. But the place I'm looking for is in your forbidden area. If I take you with me, you can find someone to help me if something happens to me."

"Hmph." Bai Yue turned his head away angrily, "If you get into trouble, I won't help you. It would be better if you die here."

The man pursed his lips and endured it.

"I'm sorry, I can't help it. When I leave here, it doesn't matter if you hate me or blame me. I miss home and my family."

Bai Yue retorted: "You miss home, is your home in a forbidden area?"

The man felt that he couldn't explain clearly to Bai Yue, so he simply gave up. He leaned against the fire silently, and just as he was about to take the roasted food to eat, he was suddenly kicked to the ground and tied up by his wrists.

"Ah. Who are you?"

The high priest, Xiao Yimo, and Jiang Jiu also appeared.

Bai Yue shouted excitedly: "Am, brother-in-law, are you here to save me? Wuwuwu..."

Bai Yue stood up and threw herself into the high priest's arms. She had been worried and frightened these past few days.

When I saw my familiar relatives, I relaxed completely. All of a sudden, I felt aggrieved and started to sob.

The high priest was relieved when he found his daughter.

"Yes, when Am knew you were missing, she immediately sent a message to your sister Xiaoyu. These are the helpers she brought back."

"You also know that we Miao people are not allowed to enter the forbidden area of ​​Miaojiang, but outsiders are not prohibited from entering. We are all here to find you."

The high priest hugged Bai Yue, feeling very distressed.

Here, Lu Ming tied up the man tightly.

"Tell me, who are you? Why did you kidnap Bai Yue and bring her to the forbidden area? What do you want to do?"

The man really didn't know why so many people suddenly appeared in front of him, and he was stunned for a moment.

"I didn't kidnap her. I just asked her to help lead the way. The place I'm looking for is just ahead."

Jiang Jiu was puzzled: "Where are you looking for? There are trees all ahead. Are you from Yun Village? Why are you wandering around if you are not going home?"

The man became more and more anxious: "I'm just looking for the way home. I'm not from Yunzhai, and I don't know how I got here. Anyway, I woke up in Yunzhai."

Before the man could finish his words, Lu Ming kicked him unconscious.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they found the person.

Zhao Zhuoxi said: "Everyone, have a good rest tonight, and head back tomorrow."

The dry food they brought with them was almost gone. If they didn't go back, they would have to eat insects in the primeval forest.

According to the old rules, Xiao Yimo and Lu Ming cut a circle of grass around the area, and the high priest spread quicklime around the area.

Everyone sat together. Zhao Zhuoxi picked up some dry grass, burned it on the ground, left the ashes, and spread the ashes on the ground for Jiang Jiu to lie down and rest.

Jiang Jiu had never walked for three or four days in a row, and he was really tired.

As soon as I closed my eyes, I fell asleep.

That night, she had a dream. In the dream, she came to a place like a palace.

As I was walking, I saw a blue light.

Suddenly, behind the blue light, a woman appeared floating in the air. She was wearing ancient costume and looked very gorgeous and noble.

"You are not from this world. Do you want to leave? If you step into this place, you can return to your original world."

Jiang Jiu hesitated for a moment and wanted to leave, but he felt that there must be something he was reluctant to give up, so he hesitated for a long time.

Suddenly, she saw a man coming here, and he walked in without saying a word.

"I am not from this world either. I am an archaeologist who stumbled into this place by accident. Now I am going back. Won't you come with me?"

Jiang Jiu shook his head: "Should I go home? But there is no one at home for me to worry about."

The man was puzzled: "Don't you have parents? Don't you have brothers and sisters? Don't you have friends and colleagues? Besides, this is ancient, feudal and backward place. Do you really want to stay?"

Jiang Jiu hesitated. Her parents divorced when she was very young, and she grew up with her grandma.

After she went to college, her grandparents also passed away, and she no longer had any relatives.

Later, she graduated, studied finance, and was admitted to a bank as an ordinary clerk.

Life has finally stabilized.

Later, her parents also came to her and wanted to meet her.

But her parents both have their own families.

Jiang Jiu asked her parents for some money, sold her house in her hometown, saved up enough for the down payment of a city house, and used her housing provident fund to buy the house she lives in now.

She finally had a home, but who would have thought that she had traveled through time.
