"Just blindfold the donkey. When I was a child, I heard my father say that when they followed the production team to cut down trees in the mountains, there was an infestation of wolves. When the animals were far away, the wolves would run around. Later, they used The cloth was used to blindfold the animals, and the effect was pretty good.”
"Is it enough to just cover your eyes? Can't their ears hear the sound?" Lei Ge continued to ask.
"You can definitely hear it, so you have to hang a bunch of bells around the necks of the animals and shake the bells while walking. Then they can only hear the sound of the bells and nothing else. We might as well try this method, if it works wonders Woolen cloth."
I think the method Sister Yuan said is good, you can give it a try. Anyway, bring the quicklime iron sand gun with you, and prepare enough chicken blood. Bring everything you can, and just go and see what's going on.
Zhao Hu looked at me at this time and asked me if the method Sister Yuan said would work.
I nodded: "Well, I think you can give it a try. Sister Nayuan, go and buy a few more donkeys. Buy more. You may be hauling more goods this time. You have to prepare chicken blood, quicklime and so on. Let's buy some more." Mugwort leaves can also be lit to smoke these soldiers."
"Okay, I'll get ready in the afternoon."
"Then when shall we set off?" Brother Lei asked.
I looked at Xiaoye and asked Xiaoye Jianzui when they would be back. Xiaoye said it would probably be the day after tomorrow. I said we should wait until they come back before setting off. We can use these two days to prepare things.
Two days later, at 12 noon, Sharp Mouth and Chinese Character Face came back.
After reporting the situation at Lao Qi’s house to Xiaoye, we held another meeting. Since Sister Yuan had already prepared everything, we discussed and set off early the next morning.
Jian Zui was a little panicked when he learned that there were only seven of us men as the main force this time.
He asked me: "Can't we bring more people? Last time we went there, so many people died. I'm afraid it won't work with just a few of us this time, right?"
I said that having too many people doesn't necessarily work, and the space inside is too small to be used. You have to use clever methods to deal with those soldiers, and there are too many people to talk about. If you find some people to follow temporarily, I'm afraid they will be easily exposed. Don't take the treasure then. Once we get it, we will also be arrested and imprisoned.
"Then if there are just a few of us, are you sure we can deal with those soldiers?"
When Sharp Mouth asked questions, you could tell that he was scared.
I actually didn't feel confident, but in order to cheer myself up I had to say that I was sure. Jianzui didn't ask any more questions and said that we should just pack up and wait for departure.
The next morning, we set off after breakfast. Just like last time, our first stop was the base camp near Qingniu Town. Because we had experience this time, we arrived at the base camp early in the afternoon.
When we were setting up the tent, Zhao Hu suddenly shouted to me: "Jianjun, come and take a look. There are ruts here. It doesn't seem to be our ruts."
As soon as he said these words, my heart skipped a beat:
Are there other rut marks?
Does that mean there are others coming?
I didn't think much and ran over immediately.
There were several ruts under Zhao Hu's feet. They were indeed not our ruts, and they were from more than one car, at least three.
But I didn’t see any cars nearby, maybe they had already driven down the mountain.
"Could it be that other tomb robbers are here?" Xiao braid came over and asked nervously.
I shook my head and said, "I don't know, but even if it's other tomb robbers, let's not be too nervous. Their car is not here, which means they went down the mountain."
"What if they left people and things here and just drove down?"
I said, let's look again to see if there are any other footprints heading towards the Prince's Tomb.
Afterwards, all of us searched around, and finally found a series of footprints on the sand and gravel not far away. They were indeed heading in the direction of the Prince's Tomb in the north. Judging from the number of footprints, there should be about six or seven people, followed by We have about the same number now.
"Damn it, the tomb we finally found is not going to be taken advantage of by others, right?" Zhao Hu cursed and looked in the direction of the prince's tomb.
"It's not such a coincidence, right? We just touched it and they touched it? Could it be that someone leaked the news?" When the little braid said this, he also looked at Brother Lei.
Lei Ge immediately scolded: "What the hell do you mean by looking at me? Do you suspect that I have leaked the news?"
"I didn't say that, you said it yourself."
"Don't be so damn weird. I didn't tell anyone else."
I waved my hand to signal them to stop arguing, and then asked everyone to stop what they were doing and hold an emergency meeting first.
According to the footprints and ruts we observed, this group of people should have left here two days ago. If they are really heading for the Prince's Tomb, and if the journey goes smoothly, they should be able to reach the Prince's Tomb tonight. Now even if I chase him all night, I will definitely not be able to catch him.
But I'm not too worried about this, because there are soldiers in the tomb, and if these tomb robbers are just two-handed swordsmen with no real skills, they won't be able to find the treasure.
After I told everyone my thoughts, everyone relaxed a little. However, after discussion, everyone felt that they had to speed up and arrive at the Prince's Tomb as soon as possible.
Zhao Hu said anxiously at this time: "Why don't we stop sleeping here tonight? Let's go on and sleep wherever we go. The sooner we can, the better. Otherwise, if the baby is touched by others, we will All previous efforts have been wasted.”
As soon as Zhao Hu said these words, Jian Zui and Brother Lei also said quickly: "Yes, let's set off directly. It's not dark now and I'm not sleepy. I can still walk a few miles."
In fact, if there are only seven of us, we can set off overnight. Anyway, when we are tired, we can just find a place to sleep.
But Xiaoye also followed, so it was not appropriate to travel at night.
Of course, there is an emergency now, and we may encounter other tomb robbers here. If these guys are desperadoes, our lives may be in danger.
So whether Xiaoye should follow or not, I, the commander-in-chief, have to reconsider.
Thinking of this, I said to Xiaoye: "Otherwise, don't follow us. You and Sister Yuan can wait for us here."
"But I still want to..." Xiaoye didn't finish her words, but I understood what she meant. She still wanted to find her father.
I asked her tentatively: "Can you tell everyone about that?"
Xiaoye didn't reply, seemingly hesitant.
