Chapter 40 -40
The second uncle said: "Looking back, they left the road halfway without coming to this fork."
We searched the way and found that we saw an inkstone in the trench on the side of the road, and a row of horse's hooves trampled.
We chased into the grass on the side of the road. After chasing for more than ten meters, we saw a path looming in front of us, hidden in the lush grass. If we didn't look carefully, we would not be able to see it.
I continued chasing along the path. Suddenly I saw something shining in front of me. I picked it up and saw it was a piece of worn-out horseshoe.
The second uncle said: "No matter which horse's horse's sole, the horse can't run fast. Go and catch up with them before dark."
After chasing for a few miles, a trench blocked the way. The trench was very steep and the horses could not get down.
The trench was heading north and south. We stood by the trench, but found that there were horse hoof marks to the east and the hoof marks to the west. In other words, some horses ran east and some horses ran west.
Could it be that the people who are pursuing the troops are divided into two groups, surrounding and blocking? There is no such possibility. There are only two people pursuing the Shenxing Taibao. When the two people are pursuing, they will not be separated. Separation will only turn advantages into disadvantages. I believe that the people who are pursuing this point will definitely understand. Then, there is only one possibility left. All four people dismounted and slid into the trench, let the horse go, and let the horse go to fate. The two horses who are pursuing have been together for a long time and have gone in a completely different direction from the strange horses.
Down the trench.
The trench was about twenty or thirty feet deep. We grabbed the roots of the weeds and trees on the edge of the cliff and slipped to the bottom of the trench. Here, we indeed saw human footprints.
After walking along the footprints for hundreds of meters at the bottom of the gloomy ditch, the footprints suddenly disappeared.
The second uncle observed the surroundings and said, "It's in this cave."
Following the second uncle's finger, I saw a cave on the cliff on the left, about ten feet above the ground.
We listened with our ears, but couldn't hear the suspicious sound, so we climbed the rocks and came to the entrance of the cave. We saw a bonfire. The cliff beside the bonfire was blackened by fireworks. We reached into the bonfire, and the ashes were still warm.
The second uncle said: "The Shenxing Taibao escaped into this cave, and the pursuers lit a bonfire and wanted to smoke him out."
I asked, "Where is the Shenxing Taibao now?"
The second uncle said, "I don't know."
I was concerned about the safety of Shenxing Taibao. Although I had never said a word to him, and although I had only met him once, he encountered risks because of us. His safety is my comfort, and his danger is my crisis.
I followed the Second Master to tiptoe into the cave and found that the cave was only a few dozen meters deep and there was no one in the cave. We looked up and looked up. Suddenly, we found countless dense bats hanging upside down on the top of the cave. The walls of the cave were steep and there was no place to climb and hide.
When we walked to the entrance of the cave, the second uncle found a gray piece of cloth from the rock. As soon as we were about to walk out, a series of screams sounded in the air, and countless bats pressed towards us like dark clouds. We were in panic and rolled down from the entrance of the cave to the valley. The thick weeds and mugwort in the valley covered us who were lying down.
Countless bats circling in the air like clouds. After a while, they flew back to the cave.
People who are bitten by bats will die in a few days. People have always believed that bats suck blood. After bats bite people, they will die if they absorb all the blood. It was only a few decades later that I realized that bats carry rabies virus on them. It will inject rabies vaccines into the human body after biting a bite. People who are bitten by bats do not die of blood, but die of rabies virus.
The bats attacked us, perhaps because someone had smoked them with smoke before, and the extremely ugly monsters, regarded us as the two pursuers.
If you are bitten by a bat, you need to get rabies vaccinated as soon as possible.
The second uncle said: "Shenxing Taibao is still alive."
I asked, "How do you know?"
The second uncle held a gray cloth piece in his hand and said, "This is the cloth piece on the robe. Those who make photos like to wear robes, which means solemnity and elegance. This should be the cloth piece on the robe of Shenxing Taibao. This cloth piece is hung on the rock, but it was not torn off by the rock. It was deliberately torn off by Shenxing Taibao and hung on the rock."
I asked, "How do you know?"
The second uncle said: "The cloth piece torn off by the rock is triangle; the cloth piece torn off by the hand is square. This cloth piece is square, and it must have been torn off by Shenxing Taibao himself."
I asked, "Then why did he tear off the cloth himself and hang it on the rock."
The second uncle said: "In order to introduce the pursuers into the cave."
I said, "Yes, it must have been letting the bats eat these pursuers."
The second uncle said: "No, Shenxing Taibao did not enter the cave. He did not know that there were countless bats in the cave. He just wanted to introduce the pursuers into the cave and win more time for his escape."
I was so impressed by the second uncle, and I asked, "Second uncle, how do you know so much?"
The second uncle said: "We have to go around the world alone, observe the words and expressions, and know the details. We have already learned the vision and mind of the detective. The world is dangerous and you will die if you are not careful. In fact, the detective has such meticulous minds. The detective has only been professionally trained in the classroom, but we have all experienced it personally in the world. After going through many difficulties and risks, we have gained these valuable experiences in the world. What we can do, the detective may not be able to do. Look at how powerful the Shenxing Taibao is, every time we cannot send us a mark, and we can lead the pursuers to the entrance of this cave. Where can the detectives do what Shenxing Taibao do?"
After hearing what the second uncle said, I had unprecedented respect for our industry. I asked: "Why do the pursuers ignite at the entrance of the cave? Why don't they enter the cave?"
The second uncle said: "The pursuer does not know what the identity of Shenxing Taibao is, nor does he know whether he has a gun. If the pursuer rashly enters the hole to search, then Shenxing Taibao is in the dark and the pursuer is in the open. If the pursuer comes in, he will be killed by several people, so they adopted the method of smoked badgers."
I understand. When I was in my hometown, I followed the son of a long-time worker to cover birds with sieves, pour water through field holes, and smoked badgers nests. Badgers are very similar to hedgehogs, with long needles on their bodies, but they are larger than hedgehogs. The hedgehogs are only as big as clenched fists, while the badgers are half a meter long, like a pig with a head and half a pulp. Badgers eat earthworms and frogs, and also eat crops. So, when we saw the badgers hole, we lit a pile of firewood, took off our clothes, and fanned the thick smoke into the hole. After a while, the badgers sneeze out.
If Shenxing Taibao is not in the cave, then where will it be?
The second uncle said: "There are dense forests and ravines here, which is a good place to hide. Even if you search the mountains in a net, you may not be able to find them. However, Shenxing Taibao hurriedly set out on the road and did not bring too much dry food. After so long, he was chased and ran away and had no time to buy dry food. He must be very hungry. An extremely hungry person will definitely not walk into the deep mountains without food. He will only walk into the crowded places. Let's climb to the top of the mountain to see where there will be villages."
After the second uncle finished speaking, he said, "No, no, I still haven't figured out one thing I haven't figured out. This is so strange."
I asked, "What's the matter?"
The second uncle said: "This woman was running in front, Shenxing Taibao was chasing behind, and the two pursuers were chasing behind Shenxing Taibao. The people in this group were running very quickly, why is this happening? This is not in common sense."
I asked, "Why don't you meet it?"
The second uncle picked up four small stones from the ground and placed them on a large stone. He gestured and said, "This woman doesn't know Shenxing Taibao, and doesn't know what Shenxing Taibao is. Why did she run away desperately? As soon as this woman stops, the serial pursuit will stop. The two pursuers should not have much conflict with Shenxing Taibao, and there is no need to pursue them like this. We are always remembering to make peace and make money, and we will never make enemies with others. Once the other party thinks we are a scam, we will just give him a refund. Fortune telling, if you believe it, there will be, and if you don't believe it, there will be no money. If you don't believe me, then what else do I want your money? Therefore, the two pursuers and Shenxing Taibao will not have any Liangzi. Liangzi is a slander, that is, to celebrate the festival."
The second uncle paused and said, "I see you are going to walk alone, so let's analyze what the situation is with these four people?"
I thought about it and said, "I said that the woman escaped not for the sake of Shenxing Taibao; the two people pursued it not for the sake of Shenxing Taibao, and Shenxing Taibao was caught between them. Oh, I want to understand that these two people are Eagle Claw Sun, and that woman committed the matter." Eagle Claw Sun means the constable in the slander of the world.
The second uncle said angrily: "You are so stupid. How can you create your own world like this?"
Yes, I am so stupid. Sometimes I just can't figure it out if I make a little sense.
