The fertile water of farming does not flow to outsiders' fields

Xue Yinsong quickly grabbed him and said: "Speak clearly, the clearer the better, I can help."

The little guard said in a panic: "Young master is really ruthless. He also left his own people behind. If we lose someone, how can we explain to the master when we go home!"

"Say it!"

The little guard hesitated for a moment or refused: "No, I have to go to Brother Qiu right away." Then he pushed Xue Yinsong away and ran outside, ran a few steps and then turned back to pull Xue Yinsong: "Which direction is your home? Take me there quickly! If you lose someone, be careful with your and my heads!"

Xue Yinsong stood still, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid it's not me who will lose his head?"

The little guard was so anxious that he had no choice but to push him to run outside, and said while running: "It's not that I don't want to say, this matter is very important, I dare not say it, go to Brother Qiu first, otherwise our 100 All the people who come here will lose their heads!"

Xue Yinsong had no choice but to run, and the two of them ran to the field to the south, where they saw two black figures standing beside the wheat field.

The little guard ran over, didn't stop, fell down like a dog, and howled loudly: "Brother Qiu! Hurry up! Hurry up... the little prince may have run away!"

Guard Qiu was taken aback, and immediately came to his senses, he turned around and asked Father Xue, "How many roads are there in this mountain? Where do they lead?"

Father Xue said: "Don't worry, there is only one way to go up this mountain, unless you go over the long mountain to the other side, our mountain is deep, and people who don't know the way can't go out with them."

Xue Yinsong hurriedly added: "The little prince is taking Li Zheng."

Father Xue frowned: "Brother Liu is not a person who often walks on mountain roads. If you really want to go deep, I am afraid that only the old hunters like Chang Dani can do it."

Guard Qiu immediately said: "Take me to find Chang Dani!"

Xue Yinsong shook his head: "Da Nizi is pregnant with a child and cannot go with you. There is another old hunter in the village. Let him take you there. Go, I will take you to find him."

Guard Qiu immediately grabbed the little guard and said, "Immediately go and inform the rest of the people to bring me dry food, weapons and torches. We will meet at the intersection up the mountain later."

The little guard hurriedly pushed his hat and ran away, Xue Yinsong led the guard Qiu to Hu Yazi's house.

"Hu Yazi, quickly...call your father out..." Xue Yinsong ran almost out of breath.

When Hu Yazi saw that it was Xue Yinsong, he hurried to find Father Hu.

"Brother Xue, what's the matter?" Father Hu came out after a while.

Guard Qiu hurriedly panted and said, "Take... us up the mountain, and leave immediately. Let's find someone."

Father Hu hesitated: "I haven't entered the mountains for two years..."

Before Father Hu could speak, Xue Yinsong hurriedly said: "Father Hu, there is a reward, there is a reward, two taels a day." He blinked as he spoke.

Up to now, the guard Qiu could only stick his head out to be slaughtered, took out a token and said: "This is my token, boy, take it and go to Lizheng's house to find the big housekeeper, tell him the matter, and let him Take 10 taels of silver."

Hu Yazi cheered immediately, grabbed the token and ran away, Xue Yinsong said: "Father Hu, it's not too late, hurry up and go up the mountain."

Father Hu immediately turned around and went to the wall to grab a bow and arrow, and a hatchet, and said, "I'm going to ask my neighbor to look after my house."

Only then did Xue Yinsong regain his breath, and when he was about to leave, Qiu guards grabbed him and said, "Boy, I think you can do it, come up the mountain with me, as long as you can find the little prince, you will be rewarded with money."

Xue Yinsong was happy: "How many?"

Guard Qiu took a breath and replied: "As long as I can find my prince, I will give you at least one hundred taels of reward." Xue Yinsong's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, I'll go back and tell you, the intersection at the foot of the mountain Assemble." As soon as he said that, he turned around and ran home.

Xue Yinsong didn't tell the truth to Xiucai, but only said that he would accompany the guards up the mountain. Xiaoxiucai was always nervous, so he didn't think about why.

He went back to the room to get the bow and arrow hatchet, thought about it, took a small knife and filled the water bag, then turned and ran to the gathering place.

This time there were more people, and all the guards who were not taken away by the little prince gathered.

Xue Yinsong shook his head and said: "Don't bring too many people, the mountain road is narrow, it's useless to go too many people, I say just bring [-] people with you, if you meet a group of two to control, you two just catch the right master .”

Guard Qiu was right when he thought about it, so he picked [-] people out of the crowd, and added a few more after thinking about it: "The rest will go back and wait for news. Those who are selected will follow me and bring some horses."

Father Hu shook his head: "We don't need a horse. We can save two hours by taking a small road. Do we have enough water and food? We don't have time to hunt and rest on the way."

The little prince was on the mountain yesterday morning, that is to say, their journey was a day slower. Xue Yinsong thought to himself and asked Father Hu: "We don't need to search the mountain, we just go straight out of the mountain."

Father Hu nodded, for the ten taels, he had to fight no matter what: "Listen to me, each of you carry two water bags and two big bags of food, go right away, we have to go into the mountain before dark, there are no food on the mountainside. A place to sleep."

As expected of someone from the army, more than [-] people ran forward in a short while, Xue Yinsong ran at the front of the team, and the guard Qiu came over and said: "Brother Xue, I have to discuss something with you."

"Say."

"Brother sees that you are also very smart. Think about it quickly. If the prince really doesn't want to come back, how can I persuade you? If you tear your face, it seems that it is not easy to handle. How many people around the prince are there?" Divided into martial arts, if it is really hard to fight, I will not be able to beat all the rest of the people."

Xue Yinsong asked: "Why did he run?"

Guard Qiu paused for a long time before he sighed and said, "The details are really beyond what we can say. When you see the prince, you can ask yourself."

Xue Yinsong thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll help you persuade me then, but I don't guarantee whether I can persuade you back."

Guard Qiu looked at him gratefully, and said, "Thank you, the main reason is that we are servants, and your words may not be as effective as you. Besides, I see that you are also a good-looking talent, and you must be more eloquent than us rough people."

Xue Yinsong laughed, and persuaded: "Don't think about it, let's go, we must enter the mountain today."

The mountain road is very narrow, and Father Hu took an inaccessible path in order to save the distance. Xue Yinsong hardly saw the traces of people walking by, so he had to admire him.

At first they were still on a flat slope, crossed a small mountain spring, and once passed a deep stream, the surrounding light immediately dimmed.

Along the way, Father Hu didn't speak a word. Seeing that the sky was getting dark now, he frowned and said, "There's still half a way to go. Brothers, please work hard, we have to speed up."

This matter was related to whether or not the little prince could be found. Everyone cheered up and hurried on the road. After walking for another half an hour, the sky finally darkened. At this time, they could not see the road clearly, and they managed to get out of a forest.

There is a light-colored band that twists and turns in front of the eyes, but it is indistinct.

Sure enough, Father Hu heaved a sigh of relief: "We have reached the main road, we can take a rest, each of us will make a torch, and then drive a stick of incense to reach the mountain pass."

After guard Qiu gave an order, everyone began to cut branches and make torches. After a while, the darkness was filled with flames. Father Hu nodded, took two sips of water and led the group on their way.

The col is very small, but fortunately it is not too cold to be leeward. Father Hu asked them to wait for a while, went into the col and turned around, and said with satisfaction: "The direction is right. I found three fire ponds inside. It seems It's very new, it should have been used yesterday."

Xue Yinsong's face softened: "At this speed, there is hope to stop them tomorrow afternoon."

The guard Qiu also nodded, heaved a sigh of relief and turned to the rest of the people: "Everyone hurry up to eat, drink and rest. At night, two people will watch the night and set off at dawn. If there is no accident, we can find the little prince tomorrow afternoon! "

Everyone cheered immediately, took out some dry food and roasted it hot.

Father Hu took out a piece of jerky and roasted it for Xue Yinsong and Qiu Shiwei: "Come on, eat some jerky. I dried it at home." Qiu Weiwei took it and asked in a low voice: "Let's leave early tomorrow. , as long as I haven't seen anyone for a day, I can't let go of my heart."

Father Hu thought about it and said: "Okay, there is a big road in the past, just chop a few torches and you can go." The guard Qiu was still worried, and after thinking about it, he said: "Is two hours' rest enough?"

Xue Yinsong said with a smile: "Sharpening a knife is not a mistake in chopping firewood. Rest well tonight. It will be the same if you walk faster tomorrow. You have driven a lot today. If you don't get a good night's sleep, you may not be able to walk fast even at night."

Guard Qiu was right when he thought about it, so he had to put his worries back on his belly and gnaw on the jerky silently.

Xue Yinsong hadn't walked so many roads for a long time, and he fell into a deep sleep when he fell down, until he was woken up by someone: "Brother Xue, get up quickly, we have to hurry!"

At this time, the sky was only one minute bright, Xue Yinsong was considerate of their rush, so he had to get up and eat two mouthfuls of dry food.

Walking on the main road is much smoother. Hu Lao is also an old hunter. Looking along the way, he can always see some traces that are not easy to find, such as newly broken branches, and the collapsed grass. They have been approaching the target, and everyone is very excited.

This excitement lasted until noon. When they stopped at a new resting point, they found several fire pits with a trace of heat left. The guard Qiu ordered decisively: "Just stay for a while, everyone, drink water and rest quickly, and eat immediately Hurry up."

Father Hu touched the ashes in the firepit, and said, "Leave for at most half an hour, let's move faster, and we will definitely catch up within an hour."

Seeing that the victory was in sight, everyone immediately bought time to rest and drink water. After eating two meals of dry food, Xue Yinsong felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach, so he only drank a few sips of water and leaned against the tree trunk to rest.

Father Hu came over with a smile and said, "Squeeze your calves yourself, you don't often run on mountain roads, this day and night will be hard for you."

Xue Yinsong smiled, took two mouthfuls reluctantly, and slowly rubbed his sore legs.

After sitting for a while, Qiu's bodyguard hurried on, and Father Hu led the way, looking around, and after a while led the crowd into a mountainside.

Xue Yinsong was a little puzzled: "Don't you go to the left when you enter the mountain?"

Father Hu nodded: "They diverted from here to the mountain depression. The other side of the mountain depression is the wild deer slope. They may have gone hunting deer."

The guard Qiu urged forward decisively, and when he crossed the mountain pass and looked up, he saw some figures moving not far away.

Guard Qiu's spirit was shaken, and he hurriedly ordered: "Hurry up, surround him on both sides. If the prince asks, just presume that we don't feel relieved to come and take a look, understand?"

Everyone immediately agreed, and quickly outflanked it.
