Chapter 197 Looking for People
"Heijin, come back, it's getting dark!"
Song Liyun was very anxious. Although she was not worried about spending the night alone in the mountains, her family would definitely be worried sick if they saw her not coming home all night.
Seeing that Heijin was disobedient, she simply ignored him and turned around and walked down the mountain.
She walked quickly and ran up two hills. If she didn't hurry up, it would be dark by the time she reached the river.
At this moment, Heijin, who had already entered the woods, suddenly screamed "Wow wow".
Song Liyun paused. She had lived with Heijin for more than half a year. Although they couldn't communicate verbally, she could still understand some basic emotional changes.
This is something that Hei Jin discovered was unusual and a little frightening.
Song Liyun didn't move anymore. She ran up the mountain with her hands and feet, shouting as she ran: "Hei Jin, Hei Jin! What happened?"
She was shouting, and Kurokin was responding.
As if he heard Song Liyun's voice, the fear in Heijin's cry became less, and he quickly came over to join them.
As soon as the two met, Heijin grabbed Song Liyun's clothes and led her into the woods.
"Don't be impatient, take your time!"
Song Liyun tried to comfort the trembling Heijin while she took out her knife and walked towards the direction Heijin came from.
A hundred meters away from where the two men separated, there was a person lying on the ground.
The man had a cowhide rope around his neck, and there were bloody marks all over his neck from scratching and kicking.
Next to him was a bag of dried mushrooms scattered all over the place.
This... where did this mountain miner come from? Why is he lying there, dead or alive?
Song Liyun was about to go forward to check, but she noticed a flash of light not far away from the corner of her eye.
At this time, under the setting sun, the setting sun was shining from behind her, and the light was clearly visible, showing a scimitar thrown in the grass.
Heijin no longer had the majesty of the ferocious beast he once was. He hid beside Song Liyun and trembled like a child.
It’s not that Heijin hasn’t seen people before, let alone dead people, but what he is afraid of is the knife.
It's that scimitar.
Song Liyun did not step forward, but took out a long wooden stick and poked the corpse a few times. Seeing that there was no movement, she moved closer.
The man was indeed dead. It seemed that he had an accident by stepping on a noose set by the hunter.
The man cut the rope with a knife, but couldn't untie the knot and was eventually suffocated to death.
The body can be preserved intact in this desolate mountain and wilderness, so it must have been dead not long ago.
Song Liyun didn't rush forward to retrieve the clothes on his body. Instead, he said to the terrified Heijin, "Heijin, go up the tree. If you see anything approaching, call the police!"
Heijin seemed to realize at this moment that he could climb trees. He quickly jumped to the top of the tree and looked down at the movements around him.
With Heijin as the high-altitude sentry, Song Liyun was able to move closer and use a wooden stick to pick up the bag from the man's waist.
Seeing the peculiarly shaped scimitar, she was convinced that this man was no ordinary hunter, but in the bag there was only some tobacco leaves besides a few pieces of silver and a dozen copper coins.
After shaking the bag upside down again, there was nothing else in it. Song Liyun frowned: No, no matter what time, flint and water bag are must-have items when going out.
The person who had the accident now did not have these two things, which only meant one thing, that is, his accommodation was not far from here.
Thinking of this, Song Liyun quickly stood up and looked for traces around.
Sure enough, about seven or eight meters away from the body was an undiscovered path.
The road was hidden in the lush weeds. If someone had not just walked by, Song Liyun would not have noticed the stepped stems and leaves.
As we walked further along the path, we found more and more traces of human activities, and even some new cuts left by felled trees.
The sun had already set and a cool mountain breeze was blowing, but Song Liyun was sweating on his forehead.
She retreated to the path where she had found the body, waved to Heijin above her head, and whispered to it to come down: "Heijin, go home and call someone. I'll wait here."
She vaguely felt that these people hiding near Suijin Town were related to the missing Hong Jingtian.
It's getting dark now, and those who are picking mushrooms outside should go back. If those people come out to look for the body and find it, they might move it away.
In this way, he would lose an opportunity to eliminate the hidden danger, and he had to stay here and wait for Hong Jingtian to appear.
But Song Liyun was not sure whether there were only two or three people on the other side. If there were more people, it would be too risky for her with her skills.
We can't catch them all, and alerting the enemy will only cause future trouble. So we have no choice but to find help.
Black gold goes down the mountain quickly and will not attract attention, so just let it go.
When Heijin received the order, it didn't know whether it was dangerous for Song Liyun to stay alone, so it quickly leaped among the branches.
Song Liyun didn't dare stay near the corpse.
He found a shrub with lush leaves, took out a moisture-proof cloth from the space and wrapped himself tightly, leaving not even a strand of hair exposed.
Then she lay down behind the rocks so that she would not be exposed unless someone stepped on her.
But Heijin was swinging on the branch all the way to the river. He was anxious, and even though he was a creature that climbed trees all year round, he fell off the tree several times.
Fortunately, they were still a hilltop away from the river, and Heijin saw figures swaying and heard shouts: "Miss Song!" "Sister Song!"
"Song Liyun!"
Heijin suddenly became energized and followed the sound.
The people who came were Han Ming, Zhao Tingduo, and Abu.
It is now the harvest season for winter wheat. The Song family did not plant wheat because they arrived in Suijin Town at the beginning of winter.
Han Ming went out in the morning and helped others harvest wheat with Song Zhenping. He didn't realize that Song Liyun was not at home until he came back in the afternoon.
Zhao Tingduo and the others slept until the afternoon and did not see Song Liyun at Baolinju.
By the evening, Song Zhenping had already returned home, but Song Liyun still hadn't come back.
Everyone became anxious and went around the town to ask around, but everyone said that they had not seen anyone enter the town.
The news that the Song family was looking for Song Liyun quickly spread throughout the town, and Captain Luo also came over in person to inquire.
Xiao An said that Heijin had not returned home yet, so everyone wondered if he was still going up the mountain.
To be on the safe side, Xue Zhuang took his men to look for it in the town and at the garrison to look for the ditches and forks in the roads around the town.
Han Ming, Zhao Tingduo, and Abu went up the mountain in the dark.
At the riverside, they saw a piece of cloth tied to a tree branch and realized that Song Liyun had been there.
But Song Liyun had also come in the morning, and the three of them were not sure when it was tied.
But there are so many mountains here that we can't just run around like a headless fly.
The three were discussing which direction to go when they saw Heijin stumbling out of the woods.
When Han Ming saw Hei Jin, he was immediately overjoyed: "Hei Daxian, do you know where the girl is?"
Heijin was a little embarrassed at this time, crying "Ah Ah" and jumping around, pointing towards the mountain.
Zhao Tingduo's eyes lit up: "You mean the people are in the mountains?"
Heijin nodded and quickly ran to the side of the mountain. When the three saw him, they hurried to follow him.
Although Song Liyun had experienced life and death long ago, she lay quietly in the forest, which was actually full of noise and chaos.
And there was a dead body next to it, which was a very bad feeling.
It's simply torture.
