Chapter 174 The Pear Tree
"Miss Chen, this pear is so sweet, hurry up and taste it."
Lingyou's voice remained the same.
Chen Chaoyan stopped in her tracks, looked earnestly at the weeds that Yuejian had beaten, and then looked out again.
This cave is gourd-shaped, with a small entrance and a large inner space.
There are many vines hanging from the hole.
The vines completely covered the opening of the cave.
If it wasn't for the fact that the roof of the cave was also empty, it would be hard to find a cave here.
Chen Chaoyan looked up.
The top of the cave is narrow and there are many vines hanging there.
Further up the vines is a canopy that covers the sky and the sun.
The environment is so harsh, the grass is so luxuriant, and the pear tree...
Chen Chaoyan looked at the light screen.
In the light screen, Lingyou is walking around the pear tree, looking for the fallen pears.
Within ten feet around the pear tree, there are no vines or other trees except rare weeds.It was as if the vines and other trees were giving way to the pear trees, or the pear trees were crowding out the living space of the vines and other trees.
Although Chen Chaoyan doesn't know much about botany, she also knows that pear trees are not domineering trees.
and also.
Although Chongma Mountain is close to the official road, because there are no villages around it, it still perfectly maintains the original forest state.
Along the way, if there were no Zhechong soldiers to clear the way, it would be difficult to pass.
Yes.
No matter how you look at it, the growth environment of this pear tree is not normal.
"Find the problem?" Xie Xuan asked.
In the dark environment, the light spots in her eyes were extraordinarily bright.
But Wang Yuejian and the others still turned a blind eye.
That is, they are still invisible.
However, apart from seeing the light spots in her eyes, he couldn't see the light screen floating in the air.
Chen Chaoyan didn't know that he already knew the existence of the light screen, and after pretending to look around, he said, "I'll go to Lingyou to have a look."
Xie Xuan looked at her pretendingly calm back, smiled silently, and chased after her.
"Miss Chen, come and taste it." After Lingyou bit the pear in his hand, he picked out the biggest and best pear from the few in his arms and handed it to her, "Although I picked it from the ground, It's still good, but sweet."
Chen Chaoyan took the pear, wiped it casually on his clothes, and took a bite.In Lingyou's repeated questioning of 'how', he nodded and said, "It's really sweet."
Lingyou smiled, and after giving the remaining few to the waiter, he followed Chen Chaoyan and said, "Quickly see if there is any problem around here. If there is no problem, I will go pick pears."
Chen Chaoyan walked around the pear tree and said, "You've been here for so long, have you noticed anything unusual?"
Lingyou looked around, ate two more mouthfuls of pears, and said carelessly, "I didn't find anything unusual."
"Didn't find anything unusual?" Nanling sneered, and when Lingyou glared at him, he put his arms around his chest and said, "Isn't there a lot of weeds on this road? Can you see what's here?"
"Huh," Lingyou wanted to reply to him at first, but followed his words and looked around, and immediately asked in surprise, "Why is there nothing around here?"
"How could there be nothing?" Nanling mocked, "Didn't you pick up a bag of pears?"
Lingyou snorted, "What's wrong with me picking pears? Wang..."
"Pull these fallen leaves away and look at the ground." Chen Chaoyan interrupted the dispute between the two.
Lingyou wanted to end the 'war' with a cold snort, but Nanling sneered at him first, and then, without waiting for him to react, he called to the Zhechong soldiers nearby: "Come a few more people, and clean up all the fallen leaves around here gone."
Ling You screamed in anger.
Nanling looked at him, "Want to fight?"
Lingyou snorted and vented all his anger on the fallen leaves.
After Nanling sneered disdainfully, he also joined in.
The more the merrier.
Soon, with the pear tree as the center, all the fallen leaves within a radius of one foot were cleared away.
"The weeds and trees have been cleaned up." Looking at the grass roots and tree stumps on the ground, Chen Chaoyan said softly, then looked up at the pear tree.
If the weeds and trees were cleaned up by Qi Wu, then this pear tree was the food he hid in Chongma Mountain and Zhengwu Mountain.
As soon as the idea came up, Chen Chaoyan felt his body lighten, and the descendant stood on the middle branch of the pear tree.
Chen Chaoyan turned her head and saw that it was the tree that Xie Xuan took her up to. After a sudden jump in her heart, she subconsciously looked under the tree.Seeing everyone looking up at the two of them, her heart beat faster by two minutes, and at the same time, her cheeks turned red.
Glancing at Li Deqing who was coming this way in the distance, and at her blushing cheeks, Xie Xuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly to remind: "Look at the tree."
Chen Chaoyan let out an 'hmm'.
There are still many pears on the tree.
But she didn't pay much attention.
She doesn't know the difference between pears that fall naturally after they are ripe, are pecked by animals, and are picked by humans.Therefore, her attention is all focused on each branch.
The gaze scans the whole first, and then checks bit by bit with the help of the light screen.
There are many marks on the branches, there are animal scratches, and there seem to be shoe prints.
After Chen Chaoyan roughly swept the traces twice, he asked Xie Xuan, "Can you go up some more?"
Xie Xuan held her hand, and after touching the branch where the two of them were standing with his toes, he lightly jumped to the place near the top of the tree.
The branches at the top of the tree were small and weak. After Chen Chaoyan's heart trembled, he held his hand tightly while raising his breath.
Xie Xuanman said casually: "Scared."
Chen Chaoyan didn't speak, but quickly swept all the branches twice, and motioned to him: "It's fine."
Xie Xuan smiled softly, and brought her back to the ground lightly.
Chen Chaoyan couldn't help but let out a soft breath from the sense of solidity when his feet stepped on the ground.
At this time, Li Deqing also arrived.
After looking at the two of them in amazement, he wisely moved his eyes away, glanced at the cleaned ground, and then at the pear tree, and asked, "Have you found a clue?"
Lingyou told him vividly that there were no weeds and trees around.
Li Deqing looked at the grass roots and tree stumps left on the cleared ground, and said repeatedly: "This is...someone is taking care of this pear tree? Looking at the grass roots and tree stumps, it seems that someone has been taking care of this pear tree all the time. one slice."
"That's right." Lingyou said loudly, regardless of Nanling's contempt, "I just don't know if it's Qi Wu."
Li Deqing looked at Chen Chaoyan.
Chen Chaoyan didn't care about him at all, and through the light screen, she pointed out the suspected shoe prints to Ruolan, and motioned to her, "Help me to confirm whether those are shoe prints."
As soon as Ruolan answered, Nanling flew to stand on the tree branch.
Ruolan snorted coldly, and also flew up.
The two competed with each other to look at several suspected footprints, and then flew back to the tree at the same time.
Facing Ruolan's murderous eyes, Nanling raised his eyebrows and took two steps back.
"You're smart!" Ruolan withdrew her murderous aura, turned her eyes to Chen Chaoyan and said, "It's shoe prints."
Too bad it's not a complete shoe print.
Chen Chaoyan suppressed his emotions, turned to Li Deqing and said, "During the search of the mountain last time, no one should have picked pears from the tree, right?"
Li Deqing turned his head to Judi Zuo, who immediately said, "Absolutely not!"
"Then please Master Li take this pear tree as the center and arrange for people to search around." Chen Chaoyan said.
Li Deqing immediately followed her instructions.
However, they searched for a radius of two hundred zhang, but did not find any trace of anyone staying there.
"Don't worry," Chen Chaoyan comforted Li Deqing, and also comforted himself, "Continue to search, and wait until Zhengwu Mountain is also searched."
Li Deqing nodded.
noon.
Regardless of the yamen servants or Zhechong soldiers, or Xie Xuan and Chen Chaoyan, they all found a slightly flat place according to their own needs. Without a break, he devoted himself to the search again.
Until the climax of the moon.
A group of talents left Zhengwu Mountain in a mighty way.
Yamen servants and Zhechong soldiers were very tired.
In twos and threes, leaning on each other, they sat paralyzed on both sides of the official road.
Chen Chaoyan was also very tired.Leaning halfway on the carriage, he took the water from Yuejian, drank a few cups in a row, and after a while, looked at Chongma Mountain and Zhengwu Mountain, which had become dark under the moonlight, and said: "The two mountains At almost the same location, there is a pear tree, and there are traces of weeds being cleared around the pear tree, and there are shoe prints on the trunk. It can’t be such a coincidence, so these two pear trees should be planted by humans. .”
Li Deqing nodded in agreement, "It's a pity that we didn't find Qi Wu's hiding place."
"It might not have been found." Chen Chaoyan glanced at the two pear trees lined up in the light screen, and said thoughtfully, "Before Lingyou found the pear tree in Chongma Mountain, my lord and I were searching a cave. Both the entrance and the roof of the cave are covered by vines, and it is less than a hundred feet away from the pear tree. There is also a cave about 150 feet west of the pear tree in Zhengwu Mountain. Although the cave is small, it is definitely enough to hide Understand."
Seeing that Li Deqing was going to refute, Chen Chaoyan said first: "After the case happened, although the lord arranged for the yamen servants to search the mountain, after all, after searching one area of the mountain, they will search another area. With Qi Wu's ability, he can dodge back and forth. "
"Even if he can dodge back and forth," Li Deqing shook his head, "it's impossible not to leave a trace."
Chen Chaoyan rubbed his temples: "He is a fleeing person, so it is impossible to pay too much attention to it. Rest against the mountain wall, or sleep in the weeds, and after waking up the next day, take care of the grass a little, or just sleep In trees, it's all very possible. We're never going to be able to check every weed or every tree in detail."
Li Deqing nodded, "It also makes sense."
"Juchang County is only thirty or forty miles away from Wenhai Town, and he has to plant a pear tree on every mountain in between," Chen Chaoyan said slowly, "It means that he has already made preparations for a long-term escape."
"Just ask the prince to arrange someone to notify the people who searched the mountain in front to see if there are still pear trees. If there are, then just follow the pear trees."
Xie Xuan said 'um', but he didn't say that after he found the pear tree on Zhengwu Mountain, he had already arranged for someone to notify Chonglou.
"Master Li has worked hard today, and everyone has worked hard too. It's getting late, so let's go back after a short rest." Chen Chaoyan endured the exhaustion and said.
"Miss Chen is the one who worked hard." Li Deqing raised his hands, "Miss Chen should go back and rest earlier, and leave the aftermath to me."
Chen Chaoyan was really exhausted.
Growing up so big, it was the first time for her to climb three mountains at once, and it was still within a day.
After saying, "Then trouble Master Li", she climbed into the carriage almost relying on Yuejian's support.
Lingyou's voice remained the same.
Chen Chaoyan stopped in her tracks, looked earnestly at the weeds that Yuejian had beaten, and then looked out again.
This cave is gourd-shaped, with a small entrance and a large inner space.
There are many vines hanging from the hole.
