Chapter 736 Trace

After Song Nan led 50 pro-wei Er, he confirmed that the Tsars were nearly a hundred miles away and then quietly went out of the camp. Song Nan didn't want to shock everyone. He didn't want his affairs to ruin the festive atmosphere in the army. After experiencing life and death, this short joy was a rare enjoyment for the soldiers, so he chose to come out alone to look for it.

The night is like water, and the undulating mountains are like tame beasts lying in the corners around. As soon as you look up, it is already a new moon like eyebrows. Counting the days, it is August again in the blink of an eye. Unconsciously, he has been fighting on the northwest battlefield for more than a month.

Although the scenery in the mountains under the moonlight is very poetic, Song Nan has no idea of admiring it at all. Ye Fanggu has disappeared for eight days, and Yang Kuoer has no news for a day and a night. The guards sent out have searched all the mountains and valleys near the left, but they have not found any traces, which must be said to be a little strange.

If Song Nan was not very worried about Ye Fanggu's life and death in his heart before, it was because Ye Fanggu was by no means an ordinary woman. Isn't it so easy for a misfortune for a woman who had worked hard to hide her where to pursue the murderer for two years in revenge? However, the eight-day loss of contact forced Song Nan to re-examine the matter. In eight days, even if he was hungry, he would starve to death. Moreover, before that, the mountains were full of Tarans, and there was no accident.

What's more worrying is that Yang Keer also secretly ran out to look for her. Although she grew up in the northwest and was not a delicate woman, in fact, she was in greater danger than Aunt Ye Fang. Standing under the vast night, Song Nan actually felt at a loss and nowhere to go for the first time.

"Your Excellency, the brothers have searched all over the mountains and fields. According to our humble position, we still look for it from the route where Miss Yang left that day. Although the brothers also looked for it all, after all, it has only been one day for Miss Yang to leave. It should be easy to find Miss Yang first." After Wang Yong was injured, Zhao Dapeng, a thousand households of Jinyiwei's personal guard camp, who was promoted last year, followed Song Nan. In the past few days, he arranged the search.

Song Nan nodded and said, "Just do as you said. Miss Yang went down from the Great Wall in the northwest. Let's insert it diagonally from here. Everyone's ears are more bright. Although they can't see things clearly at night, their eyes sometimes don't work, and their ears may work."

Everyone agreed, and the group recognized the direction and dispersed more than ten steps away and slowly searched to the northwest. Although the small peaks here are not high, they are more dense. Soon after reaching a mountain, they go down the mountain, and then another peak, which are all remote places. It is rarely visited. The barren grass is entangled and rocks. After a while, they have to rest for a while. Everyone walked and stopped for less than an hour, and they were already sweating and panted.

Song Nan frowned and made no sound. She always listened to the movements around her with vigilance. She thought to herself that she didn't know how Yang Kooer could walk in such a terrain. Even if she was given three days as a delicate woman, she may not be able to climb over this mountain. Thinking of this, Song Nan's confidence suddenly increased greatly. Yang Koer must be in this mountain. She can't walk far, unless... she meets a salam or something else.

But it can make the soldiers of the guard battalion unable to find any trace. If they hadn't been taken away, their bones would have been left. Thinking of this, Song Nan suddenly had goose bumps all over. There must be wild wolves in such a mountain land. If they meet hungry wolves, it is also possible to find no bones.

Song Nan tried her best not to think about bad things and listened to the movements around. There were indeed howling of wild wolves in the mountains, and it was very close and dense several times. Whenever she heard such a sound, Song Nan immediately ordered to come closer. Once she saw a group of wild wolves in the valley. Song Nan almost screamed when she bit something, but Fortunately, it was just the body of the fallen Tartan dragged into the mountain by wild wolves, and a group of wolves were fighting. After driving away the wolves, it was a false alarm to check the decoration of the clothes.

In this way, the third update, the fourth update, the fifth update, and the continuous search over the mountains made everyone exhausted. At the end of the fifth update, the sky has gradually brightened, and there is a white fish belly in the east, and the sky is about to dawn. More than a dozen nearby mountains on the left have been searched, but nothing has been found.

Song Nan looked at the tired guards and knew that she could no longer search. She had to rush back immediately. She couldn't leave the camp for too long and didn't say hello to the generals before she came out. So he got up and said, "Go back. Go back to rest and send someone to look for it.

The guards stood up and staggered down the mountain with Song Nan. A guard suddenly pointed to the opposite hill and shouted, "There is a hole in the cliff over there. Why didn't we see it when we passed by last night?"

Everyone stared at it. Although it was not very real in the light, it was vaguely like a black hole embedded in the opposite cliff. Last night, it was afraid that the sky would be dark, and there were small trees around the hole. Only at this angle can you faintly see a hole.

"How can Miss Yang climb up without the world? I'm afraid it's just the hole drilled by the coyote. A personal guard.

"That's not necessarily the same. Wolves are rampant in the mountains and fields. The cave is the place to hide. Maybe Miss Yang is hiding in it." Another personal guard.

Song Nan squinted at the hole and said, "You rest where you are. I'll take a look."

Where did the guards let Song Nan go alone? They all followed him down to the valley and stood under the cliff and looked up. The mouth of the cave could not be seen at all under the shade of several dense trees. No wonder Zhao Dapeng said that he had taken people back and forth through the valley several times but did not find the cave.

Song Nan looked carefully with a torch under the mountain wall and suddenly shouted in surprise. Everyone quickly asked what had happened. Song Nan pointed to a few broken stones and said, "Look, these stones must have fallen from the cliff."

Everyone stared at a few big stones on the ground. I don't know what the general's words are based on.

"This valley is a passage through which rains on rainy days. Look at these fine sand, which are washed and deposited by rain, so most of the stones in the valley are buried in the loess. Why do these stones float on the ground? Obviously, it fell from the cliff.

"But this does not mean that it is man-made. It is also a common time for stones to fall on the top of the cliff. I remember that when I was a child, I once went up the mountain to herding cattle, and a big stone fell in front of me for no reason. Later, I found that it was not man-made at all, but loose. The mountain wind blew the branches and brushed them down. ." Zhao Dapeng said.

Song Nan pointed to several broken branches next to him and said, "How to explain this? These are pine branches and leaves. In this valley, except for barren grass, they are thorns. Pine trees will not grow in the valley. The pine needle is still very green. Obviously, it is not withering and falling, but must be caused by human trampling."

Everyone stared and said, "Even if it's man-made, what does this mean? During this period, Tartan soldiers were stationed all over the mountains, and Urus's soldiers and horses only withdrew 20 miles away six or seven days ago.

Song Nan has no time to explain more. The pine needle is still green. Even if it is a pine needle that can withstand the sun, it can't withstand many days of baking in this summer. It will inevitably shrink and change color, and it will not become dehydrated. That can only show what has happened recently.

Song Nan removed his robe, tightened his belt, spit on the palm of his hand and rubbed it. The eyes are carefully looking for a place to climb on the mountain wall.

Looking at Song Nan's posture, Zhao Dapeng said quickly, "What are you going to do? Did you just climb up with your bare hands?"

Song Nan said, "I just saw it on the cliff over there. The cave is still lower from the bottom, and it is more difficult to climb down from above, and it is a waste of time to take a detour to the top of the mountain. I'm eager to know what's in the cave, so this is the only way.

"Don't, don't, it's great if you fall down." Zhao Dapeng hurriedly blocked the road.

Song Nan said, "Can you say something nice? Why did I fall down? Bring those ropes to me. If you find it, you can hang people down."

Zhao Dapeng and the guards advised bitterly. Song Nan turned a deaf ear. He hung a circle of ropes on his shoulders and clasped a protruding stone. He climbed up like a gecko at his feet. The guards thought that they did not have the ability to climb this steep cliff and could only stare dryly. They were still a flag officer clever, reminding He said, "We can't do this. It's better to cut some long grass and spread it on a thick layer. In case the adult falls down, he won't die."

Zhao Dapeng scolded, "Can't you say something good?" Having said that, he immediately ordered the guards to pull out the embroidered spring knives and cut down the officials in the valley, cut a lot of thatched grass, and spread it loosely on the ground to prevent Song Nan from falling.

Song Nan knew nothing about what happened below. He concentrated on climbing up. In later generations, he was originally a person who liked to survive and explore in the wild. I don't know how many thrilling things such as mountain climbing, rock climbing, surfing and parachuting have been done. Although this skin is slightly weak, climbing and other things don't rely on physical strength. The essence is the prerequisite for success. Although the cliff is steep, there is no lack of foothold. Song Nan's hands and feet are sore, but with Superman's perseverance, he still climbed up more than ten feet step by step.

In the dim morning light, Song Nan looked up at a small piece of dwarf pine growing next to the mouth of the cave and was overjoyed. The branches and leaves of the dwarf pine trees were obviously irregular, and there were broken gaps below. Obviously, heavy objects fell and caused the pine branches to break down, that is to say, there were very likely that there were people in the cave.
