Ju Mu'er didn't know that Long Er was thinking about her at this time, he was thinking about her, but at the same time he was furious.
Li Ke and the others lost him!
He rushed over in a hurry, and what he heard was such bad news.
Li Ke didn't dare to raise his head, he was full of self-blame. They followed the two bandits who had captured Ding Yanshan, and when they saw them walking down the mountain, they abandoned the carriage and rode up the mountain instead. They were afraid of revealing their whereabouts by following too closely, so they followed from a distance. Unexpectedly, the terrain in this mountain is so complicated, they followed for a while, and lost the person after only a blink of an eye.
They searched all around for a long time, but they did not find any trace of the two robbers.
Long Er was so angry that he didn't even want to scold.
The direction of the spies from Fuling Temple was the same as that of Li Ke and the others. In addition, some spies reported that a suspicious carriage had been found nearby. Long Er judged that this area was the most suspicious hiding place for the robbers.
He hurried over, thinking that Li Ke and the others would make progress in tracking Ding Yanshan, but he couldn't find a place by the side of the mountain.
Long Er stared at the mountain in front of him, and asked, "How many people have you sent?"
"Ten groups of brothers were divided into five groups, and they all went up the mountain to search." Li Ke reported without looking up. The people who searched the mountain have not sent back any news so far, and they haven't found much after thinking about it. Seeing that the sun was about to set, and when it got dark, the search became even more difficult.
"Where's the carriage?" Long Er asked again.
"They're all parked there." Li Ke pointed in the direction, "The brothers found three suspicious carriages within a few miles, which were similar to what Chen Huwei and the others described, and the carriage that captured Miss Ding. The brothers seized all those cars, but the drivers all said they were used by their own farms to transport goods. The brothers didn’t find anything.”
Long Er said firmly: "You go." He didn't look at Li Ke after finishing speaking, and walked towards the carriage on his own.
Li Ke breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried up the mountain to join the search team.
Long Er came to the parking place and saw the three carriages and the three drivers. The cars were all about the same, and the drivers all looked like peasants. Long Er looked at the cars one by one, and found that the cars were very simple and made of wooden boards, and the inside of the car was empty, with nothing in it.
Just looking at it like this, really can't see anything.
Long Er jumped into one of the cars. He didn't believe that Ju Muer was imprisoned in the car and did nothing, he thought she would definitely leave something behind. Leave some evidence that this car imprisoned her.
Long Er looked carefully in the first car for a long time, but found nothing. So he jumped into the second car. He threw out the rag bags and sundries in the car and searched carefully, but he didn't find any.
Long Er jumped into the third car. The third car was filled with some rag cushions, which seemed to be used for padding, which had long been worn out and darkened. Long Er rummaged through it patiently, suddenly his whole body froze, and he saw two words in dark red under the rags in the corner - Mu'er.
Long Er stared at those two words, a little in disbelief. He blinked and looked again, and it was indeed those two words.
Mu'er.
His Mu'er.
At that moment, Long Er had no idea what mood he was in. She was exactly as he thought, she would not just wait, she was so smart, she would definitely leave a message for him.
It's just that the dark red hurt his eyes. He saw that there was also dark red between the cracks of the wooden boards, and he knew that she must have written the words with that worn-out finger.
Long Er jumped out of the carriage, and asked blankly, "Whose car is this?"
A coachman stood up tremblingly: "If you come back to the master, it belongs to the villain."
"What did you do with your car today?"
"I just delivered two trips of food to the village."
"You shipped it all yourself?"
"Yes." The coachman looked very nervous.
Long Er nodded and walked towards him. He walked up to the coachman, gave him a cold smile, then suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed his neck, raised his arm and pressed him against the tree trunk beside him.
Long Er smiled, with murderous intent: "You'd better tell me where you sent the blind girl right away, or I'll strangle you to death right now."
Su Qing took Ding Yanshan to the woods in one breath, neither of them dared to stop or look back, they ran as far as they could. He ran until he was out of breath and couldn't run anymore, so he stopped.
Su Qing found a bush to hide under, dragged Ding Yanshan to squat down, and whispered: "Stop for a while, I'll tell you about the plan."
Panting for breath, Ding Yanshan hid in together.
Su Qing asked: "Can you ride a horse?"
"meeting."
"That's great." Su Qing picked up a branch and gesticulated on the muddy floor, "Let me tell you, we are here now, this place is the room where we were imprisoned, and this is where my sister and I were arrested and got off the carriage. We're pretty near there. I see them pulling the horses in this direction, and there should be a place to hide the horses."
"and then?"
"If we go the way we do, we won't be able to go out even in the dark."
Ding Yanshan agreed: "Yes, if there are wolves at night, we will be in trouble."
Su Qing glanced at her: "If you waste time, it will be too late to save my sister."
Ding Yanshan felt a little ashamed at what she said for no reason. She cleared her throat and asked, "Then what are you going to do?"
"Let's steal the horse first."
"Stealing a horse?"
"Yes, if you have a horse, take me with you, and we will go down the mountain faster."
"I take you?"
"Yes, because I can't ride a horse."
Ding Yanshan pursed her lips lightly and raised her head, feeling a little happy in her heart. It turns out that she is not useless, at least she can ride a horse, this little girl has to rely on her.
Seeing her expression, Su Qing was not convinced anymore, and said again: "I can ride a little donkey, can you?"
Ding Yanshan stared: "Anyone who wants to ride a little donkey will be ashamed to death."
"Then you just can't." Su Qing also pursed her lips and raised her head. Ding Yanshan continued to stare at her angrily: "What's so proud of the little donkey, the horse is majestic."
Su Qing stared back: "The little donkey is much cuter than the horse. Anyway, you listen to me, let's steal the horse first, and when we get there, don't run around, follow me, we will play by ear."
Ding Yanshan nodded, she didn't know the way, so she wouldn't run around. But she still thinks that being able to ride a horse is more impressive than being able to ride a little donkey.
Both girls acted foolishly, and neither of them thought about the difference between riding a horse and riding a donkey. Su Qing had already dived out at this time, looking around furtively. After a while, Ding Yanshan saw her face beaming with joy, and pulled out a big branch from the bushes.
Ding Yanshan's heart skipped a beat. Could it be what she thought
At this time, Su Qing had already broken off the small branches on the big thick branches, and then she came back with a big stick in her arms, wiped away the topographic map drawn on the ground with her feet, waved to Ding Yanshan and said, "Let's go. "
The two of them no longer had the strength to run at the beginning, so they could only speed up their pace and walk quickly. Su Qing walked for a while, and suddenly said to Ding Yanshan: "If you find out about stealing a horse later, I will try my best to stop them, and you should run first after riding the horse. You can go down the mountain to the carriage, and the road should be easy to identify." You choose the direction to go down the mountain, and you will definitely be able to go down the mountain no matter what. But you have to promise me that the first thing you do when you go down the mountain is to lead someone to rescue me and my sister."
When Ding Yanshan heard what she said, she panicked. She didn't dare to think about the situation of running for her life alone in the mountains and forests. Now that the sky is getting dark, who knows what will happen to her.
"Hey." Seeing that she didn't answer, Su Qing thought she didn't agree, so she pointed at her with a stick and said, "Don't make any crooked ideas, you are a bad-hearted person, in fact, I can't trust you, but things are up to now There is no way, I will reluctantly give you the chance to escape first, if you go out without bringing someone to rescue, I will not let you go even if I am a ghost."
"I'm not that kind of person." Ding Yanshan became angry when she heard this. No one said she had a bad heart, but she was very nice. She sends clothes and food to beggars every winter, and buys sweets for the dolls of poor families. Everyone praises her as a good girl.
"Hmph." Su Qing kept on stepping, but she still took the time to give Ding Yanshan a supercilious look.
Ding Yanshan was so angry that she hurried a few steps and walked in front of her.
The two men vigilantly walked towards the place where the horse was hidden while competing with each other. After going around a dense forest, the movement of the horse could already be heard, Su Qing raised her hand in a dignified manner, and hid behind a big tree.
Ding Yanshan was startled, and quickly hid behind another tree. Then she looked ahead secretly, and saw a circle surrounded by trees and vines in the woods ahead, and several horses were tied in the circle. Looking left and right, there seemed to be no one.
Ding Yanshan's heart was pounding, she bit her lip nervously, and turned her head to look at Su Qing. Su Qing made a silent gesture with her fingers on her lips, then bent her waist, hugged the tree stick she picked up and quickly hid behind another tree.
Ding Yanshan watched nervously. Su Qing hid from one tree to another, and gradually disappeared from her sight. Ding Yanshan thought that she should go to investigate the situation, so she waited patiently.
But after waiting for a long time and not seeing her come back, nor hearing her movement, Ding Yanshan couldn't help feeling panicked. Did something happen to that girl? Was it caught by robbers
Ding Yanshan wanted to run, but she didn't dare to. She didn't know how to go down the mountain. She didn't grab the horse, and she couldn't run very far with her two legs. It will be dark soon, and she must not be able to go down the mountain by herself.
And, and...
Ding Yanshan clenched her fists, she couldn't leave that smelly girl alone. The girl said earlier that she would give her the chance to escape. Although this didn't happen, she had this heart to do justice to her. Maybe something happened to that girl now, she ran away so silently, she was too sorry.
Ding Yanshan thought for a long time, and decided to go to the stables to check the situation first.
She came out from behind the tree and looked into the stables through the leaves. She saw no one but the horses. She thought for a while, and squatted along the cover circle of vines and leaves, she wanted to find an entrance to get in, and steal the horse out first.
She moved her steps cautiously, her heart was about to jump out of her nerves. Finally, she finally saw a small gap, she was ecstatic, and went to pull the tree vine gap to get in, but when she stretched out her hand, she was pricked by the thorn on the vine, she couldn't help crying out in pain, but suddenly realized that she was There was a sound. She hastily curled up, hid where she was and listened carefully, but she didn't hear any movement, and decided to try to drill in again. When she turned her head, she saw a big man standing not far from her side.
Ding Yanshan was so shocked that her face paled, the big man stepped over and shouted: "Why are you here?"
Ding Yanshan's first reaction was to run. But she found that her legs were too weak to move. She opened her mouth wide and wanted to call for help, but she couldn't make a sound.
She watched the big man stretch out his hand to her with an angry face, and she froze there, her mind went blank.
The big hand stretched out in front of her, and it was about to grab her. Suddenly, there was a loud bang behind the big man.
The big man stopped suddenly, his face was distorted, and he seemed to be in quite pain. He turned around suddenly. At this time, Ding Yanshan saw Su Qing standing behind the big man holding a big stick. She opened her mouth wide and wanted to shout, but she saw Su Qing swung the big stick high up, jumped up and hit the big man on the head again.
The big man was hit twice and finally fell down. Su Qing was still worried, and gave him a few sticks harder, seeing that he really couldn't move, so she let go, holding the stick to wipe sweat and panting.
Ding Yanshan was dumbfounded. Su Qing glanced at her, gave her a thumbs up and said, "Good job."
Ding Yanshan shook her head, why did she do a good job, she didn't do anything, the one who beat someone fiercely just now was not her. She asked stupidly, "Where did you come from?"
Su Qing pointed to the big tree behind her, and said, "I'm going to turn around to see if anyone is looking at the horse. When I hid here, I saw him, but he was swaying in front of me, so I didn't dare to move." , I was worrying why the horses in this circle didn’t fart to lure him over to have a look, and you came. You came too well, no, you knocked him down.”
Ding Yanshan's face was darkened, how could she be compared to a horse's fart
Su Qing didn't care about her, she pulled away the rattan branches and said, "There is no one around, he should be the only one, get on your horse."
Ding Yanshan hurriedly followed her into the stables, picked the most energetic horse, untied the rein, and was about to go up, but saw Su Qing was putting the horse fodder and hay piled aside to the other horse. Put it on your back.
"what are you doing?"
Su Qing glanced at her, and replied: "I've changed my mind, I won't go down the mountain with you." She walked over and showed Ding Yanshan the way, "On the road we just came over, there is a small dirt road going down the mountain , did you see it? You just go down that intersection and go straight down. "
Ding Yanshan nodded, but she was very nervous: "But what if there are many forks in the road, and I don't know what to do?"
Su Qing frowned: "There are not many roads where you can take a carriage, so you won't get lost like this?"
Ding Yanshan also frowned: "When I was arrested, I was not in a carriage, and I was unconscious at the time. Who knows which road they came from."
"That depends on your luck. I saw some hay, and I wanted to go back and burn the house, and get my sister out of the mess. As soon as we got into the woods, we'd have a place to hide. I'm stalling like this, waiting You bring someone to rescue you." Su Qing ignored Ding Yanshan's open mouth in surprise, and said, "I'll take you down the mountain and bring someone back, no matter how fast it will be midnight, then sister..."
She bit her lip, and said again: "Anyway, it's definitely too late. Why don't we split up, I trust you, and I'll leave it to you to find the rescuers. I'll bring my sister out, and we'll hide in the woods. It's in the bush where we drew the map just now, waiting for your rescue. If not, I'm afraid that when we come back, my sister will have been murdered."
Ding Yanshan froze there, she knew that what Su Qing said made sense, but she was not sure about entrusting such an important matter to her, and she was afraid, she felt that she could not protect herself.
At this time, Su Qing continued to put the hay on the horse's back, planning to use the horse to carry the hay to the back of the house for a while, looking for opportunities to do something.
Ding Yanshan was about to discuss with her again, when she heard a sharp whistle. Su Qing was startled, turned around and picked up her big wooden stick, and shouted at Ding Yanshan: "Run, just go down that road, as long as the direction is right, you will be able to go down the mountain. My sister and I are waiting for you !"
When she yelled this, a big man jumped out from the woods and flew towards them.
The blood in Ding Yanshan's whole body was cold, she bit her lip hard, jumped onto the horse, pinched the horse's belly hard, and shouted: "Wait for me, I swear I will bring the rescuers back, I swear!" Before she could finish her words, the horse had already jumped out and galloped wildly.
Su Qing's scalp was numb with fright at this moment, but she still held a big stick in front of the man. The man came to her in a blink of an eye, and she swung the club with all her strength and hit him. The man knows martial arts, and he easily grasped the stick. Su Qing quickly let go, and kicked down the set instead.
The man was taken aback for a moment, apparently he didn't expect a little girl to use such a dirty trick.
Seeing that Su Qing was about to kick the target, a person suddenly appeared behind her, grabbing her and pulling her back. The man was almost kicked, so he covered it with his hands in fear.
Su Qing was pulled away, subconsciously turned around and punched, but someone grabbed her fist. In a hurry, she kicked the opponent's lower abdomen again. The man let out a "hey" and reached down with his palm, grabbing her foot: "Miss Su, it's me."
Su Qing was so frightened that her consciousness was a little confused. She was grabbed by the other party with one hand and one foot, so she didn't care about other things, she bent down and bit the other party's palm before she heard the other party's voice.
With a big palm in her mouth, Su Qing finally realized what the other party said in her mind. When she raised her eyes, she saw Li Ke's helpless and painful face, she let go and shouted: "Brother Li, Brother Li..."
"It's me." Li Ke let go of Su Qing. Su Qing burst into tears, and threw herself into his arms while crying.
At this time, several spies heard the whistle signal and ran over one after another. Li Ke stood among them, and threw a little girl into his arms. He was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do, but Su Qing stood up straight, she shed tears, looked around, and said loudly: "Come on, follow me to save you!" elder sister!"
She turned around and picked up her big wooden stick, full of energy, and led the way with great momentum.
The spies looked at each other, Li Ke waved his hand and made a gesture, ordering everyone to follow.
Ding Yanshan rode the horse all the way, she was not sure, she was flustered, but she knew she had to do it, she had to bring someone back.
Originally, the journey went smoothly, but at a fork in the road, she panicked. The two roads are somewhat spacious, and both go down. She hesitated, swaying from side to side, and the horse actually threw her off.
Ding Yanshan screamed, and fell to the mud floor with a thud. The horse ignored her and ran off. It took Ding Yanshan a long time to recover, and she found that her left arm was so painful that she couldn't move. She struggled to get up, and her left foot seemed to be twisted.
Looking up, the horse had long since disappeared. Ding Yanshan wanted to cry, but she told herself not to cry, but her eyes were blurred, she couldn't control it, and tears fell down.
Ding Yanshan wiped her eyes with her sleeves and found that the sleeves were covered with mud. Her arms were very painful and her feet also ached. She thought that she was alone, in this mountain full of bandits, maybe there were wolves, she had never been so pitiful and so embarrassed.
Ding Yanshan burst into tears, it was getting dark, she definitely couldn't do it, she couldn't go down the mountain, she couldn't keep her promise to Su Qing. She cried hard, she hated herself for being so useless.
The wind blew through the woods, making some scary and eerie noises. Ding Yanshan thought of Ju Muer saying that she couldn't run fast and she couldn't drag them down, and she thought of Su Qing saying that she tried her best to stop them and let her run fast on her own. They are like this, and they have no other requirements, they just hope that someone will lead the rescuers back to rescue them.
And what about her, she just fell down and became desperate
Ding Yanshan sniffed, looked at the two roads in front of her, and chose the road where the horse ran away just now and went down. She can't give up, maybe here is not far from the foot of the mountain, the horse is gone, she still has legs, she can't give up.
Ding Yanshan endured the pain and tried her best to move forward. She swore to Su Qing that she should work hard to the end. She is not afraid of a blind person, not even a young one, but she is the second lady of the Ding family, what is she afraid of? She is not afraid either!
