Chapter 770 Despair
Mu Yan and his party disguised themselves, crossed mountains and rivers, drilled holes through forests...
Mu Yan found all the extremely secretive villages hidden in the dense forests of the mountains, went in and searched like a carpet...but found nothing.
As time passed day by day, Mu Yan became more and more anxious. Every time he saw the sunset, his heart would be twisted into a ball, and the pain could not be restrained.
Suddenly there was a noise in the forest, and everyone turned their heads to look.
"Three!" Everyone was delighted to see him.
"Is there any whereabouts of your wife?" Mu Yan hurriedly approached him.
"My lord, we followed the clues of the first batch of Yamen who took away my wife, and found out that my wife has changed hands several times. The day before yesterday, I heard that my wife was sold to several Boga people, so we followed the trail and chased after her. Unexpectedly, I lost someone in a valley. Zhuifeng is still searching in the forest, I will report to the prince first."
Mu Yan raised his hand and pressed on his chest.
There is Xi'er's Five Blessings Longevity Jade Pendant, he always takes it with him when he goes out, he misses her.
"My son, your hand!"
Li Yi rushed over in a hurry, grabbed Mu Yan's hand, and pulled out the mountain leech that was stuck on the back of Mu Yan's hand.
The leech didn't know when it got on it, and Li Li pulled it out one by one, and it became more and more stuck, and it wanted to burrow into the skin of the flesh.
"I can't pull it out! It's so hard to pull it out, the more you pull it out, the harder it will be sucked!" One officer hurried up to stop it.
Everyone gathered around and saw that Mu Yan sucked a mountain leech on the back of his hand, and it became more swollen due to the blood sucked, and it was firmly attached to the back of his hand.
"Master, why didn't you see that you've gotten so fat." Kan Er looked distressed.
The young master is all about his wife, he travels tirelessly in the mountains and forests, and he doesn't stop when the sun sets. Light the torches and search for the caves in the mountain stockade like a carpet. I didn't even realize it was stained by mountain leeches.
"It doesn't matter." Mu Yan glanced lightly.
The officer found some grass leaves that everyone couldn't understand, bundled them into a bunch, and lit them. They were still green and damp, but there were no sparks, but there was thick smoke. The officer took the straw and put it on the back of Mu Yan's hand to smoke the leech...
Soon it twisted up and was easily pulled off by Kan Er.
Kan Er threw it on the ground, gritted his teeth and crushed it with his shoes, "I'll let you bite my young master!"
"My son, wait for me to sprinkle some medicinal powder, otherwise it will be itchy and swollen."
Mu Yan watched their movements indifferently, wiped the blood, sprinkled medicine powder, and bound the wound. I wanted to find Xi'er sooner. This mountain forest is airtight, there is little sunlight, the humidity is difficult to walk, and there are many snakes and insects, she is most afraid of these.
shook his hands, and ordered Gansan, "You lead the way."
"Yes." A group of people got into the dense forest again.
"My lord, we are approaching the border of Laos. If they take Madam out of the country, it will be even more difficult to find her."
"My lord, should we send more people to watch at the border passes?"
"Madam looks like that, they will definitely be interrogated by soldiers at the border with Madam. Besides, Madam has no customs clearance document, how can they get out."
"Those frontier residents have lived in this mountain for generations, and they still need customs clearance documents? If there is such a thing, there are still private teas that have been banned repeatedly? And the plundered people who have been reported missing every year?"
Many Yi people who have lived in the mountains for generations do not communicate with the outside world and are self-sufficient. But often encounter difficulties in marriage. There are also people who want to make a profit, so there are a lot of buying, selling, trafficking, and plundering of human beings, which happen from time to time in this borderland where barbarians and Han people are mixed.
Missing persons are reported every year. But in the end there was no whereabouts.
How easy it is to hide a person in this vast mountain. How can the whole family find out their whereabouts if they conceal the report.
"Yes. This subordinate will send a message."
On the other side, although Huo Xi regretted that the person was dumb, but she could understand what she said, and she looked different from those barbarians, "Are you Han?"
The man bowed his head and didn't say anything.
"Do you know where they're sending me?"
Still nothing.
Huo Xi glanced at her, "You are about the same age as my mother. My parents loved me very much. When I was young, my family was poor, and they obviously couldn't eat meat, so they saved money to buy meat for me and cloth to make clothes... you Do you have children too?"
The man lowered his head and remained silent, but Huo Xi noticed that her expression was a little loose.
"I grew up and got married. My mother gave all the money in the family to my father and asked him to prepare a dowry for me. She was afraid that I would be looked down upon by people in my husband's house. My man regards me as his fate and often says that everything in the world is Only I belong to him. Even the children will have their own lives in the future..."
The woman paused, then turned her head to look at Huo Xi.
Huo Xi had a bitter face, "He must be very anxious now. We also have a son who is not yet four years old and can talk before he can walk. The one with a small mouth is very good at talking, and he will come when he can't see us. At the gate, sit on the threshold and wait for us..."
Huo Xi shed tears while talking.
Turning his head, his eyes brushed his shoulders, and looked at the woman, "I miss them very much."
The woman buried her head in silence, seeing the men in front looking back at them, stretched out her hand to grab Huo Xi's arm, motioning for Huo Xi to follow.
Huo Xi was a little desperate.
Close your eyes, look up at the vast mountain... There are trees in front of you and behind you, towering trees, towering into the clouds, there is not even a road under your feet, and there is no trace of the grass you stepped on.
Mechanically followed those people walking in the forest.
"What's the sound?" Several barbarians looked at each other, "There is someone!"
Glanced at Huo Xi, "Quick, there is a cave ahead!"
"Anyone?"
Although Huo Xi didn't know what they were talking about, he could vaguely hear the movement, and a glimmer of hope rose up, and he turned his head to shout, but was gagged by the woman, and quickly dragged her to follow the three men.
was pushed into a cave, I don't know if it was a hunter or a den of a large wild animal, it was cramped and smelly. The few people covered the entrance of the cave with something, retracted into the cave, not even daring to take a quick breath, they were panting.
Several people sat so close that their shrunk feet could touch each other. A man suddenly stretched out his hand towards Huo Xi's face, just as he was about to touch Huo Xi's face, he was slapped down by the woman.
The two looked at each other, and the man was cursing, not knowing what to say. But he didn't reach out to Huo Xi again.
Huo Xi secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but he was nervous again, not daring to relax at all.
After an unknown amount of time, several people pulled her out of the cave again and continued on their way.
Huo Xi felt that the shoes on the soles of his feet were probably worn out, and the pain was excruciating, and his legs were so sore that he couldn't lift them up.
The sense of desperation struck again.
Walked to a mountain stream with difficulty, and felt the water vapor in the air before approaching.
Water from unknown sources gathered in the small mountain stream in front of me, and then rolled down the cliff, splashing and splashing. Listening to the sound of water, there must be a pool under the cliff.
Huo Xi twitched his eyebrows, and was dragged by the woman to the small pond to drink water.
Those who want to conclude the essay, but find that they write more and more. It's like facial cleanser and toothpaste, which have bottomed out, and I want to throw them away and replace them with new ones, but they are still squeezed and squeezed~
