Qi Yang and Ling'er listened carefully and heard conversations coming from above.
"Boss, what's wrong?" a man said.
"Do you smell anything?" the man called "Boss" replied.
"What does it smell like?" the man who just spoke asked.
Ling'er was shocked. Could it be that the smell of blood on Brother Yang was too strong and they discovered him?
Ling'er looked at Brother Yang worriedly and found that Brother Yang's eyes were always on the original position of the fire. Ling'er has noticed Brother Yang looking thoughtfully in that direction many times. She couldn't help but guess: "Is there something wrong with the fire?"
"Captain Wu, it's getting late. We have to rush back to recover!" an older voice over there said dissatisfiedly.
The man at the other end, Wu Captou, said: "It's the smell of burning rotten wood."
"Huh?" The younger man who spoke earlier paused and then said, "No!"
"Really? Let's go then!" Wu Captou couldn't help but suspect that his sense of smell was wrong and continued to drive forward. The sound of horse hooves became faster again.
Ling'er felt relieved a little and glanced at Brother Yang, only to see that he was still frowning and preparing for the attack.
Qi Yang didn't think the head catcher would give up easily. Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will spread.
Sure enough, when the sound of horse hooves reached above the two of them, it not only slowed down, but even stopped one after another.
"Stop!" Wu Captou shouted.
Now even the rushing footsteps stopped.
Oops! Ling'er was horrified and couldn't help but lean towards Brother Yang.
Qi Yang noticed Ling'er's fear and stretched out his right hand to take Ling'er into his arms to comfort him. With him here, how could anything happen to Ling'er?
As expected, Ling'er felt a lot more at ease, but her fear was gone and her worries were even worse. She didn't want to make Brother Yang more injured.
"What's the matter?" The old voice sounded again, a little impatient. Apparently this happened a lot along the way.
"The smell is even stronger." Wu Captou said with certainty.
"It seems to have a bit of that smell, similar to the smell of a kitchen." The young voice interface from before. He smelled that scent too.
"No? Why can't I smell anything?"
"I didn't smell it either." Many people still said they didn't notice anything unusual.
Captain Wu ignored his subordinates who had a weak sense of smell and dismounted first, took the torch handed to him by his subordinates, and surveyed the surrounding terrain.
"Making a fuss out of a molehill." The old voice muttered disdainfully, obviously disapproving of Capt. Wu's overly cautious behavior.
Others dismounted one after another to investigate. A few people walked to the edge of the mountain road and looked down with torches.
A lot of firelight shone down and reflected on the white snow, making the surrounding area suddenly brighter.
Qi Yang and Ling'er squinted slightly to adapt to the suddenly bright light.
"Boss, I found nothing."
"We don't have any here either." One after another, subordinates reported the situation to Wu Captou.
"Didn't find it?" Captain Wu's voice was a little disappointed, and he asked again, "What's going on on the other side of the road?"
"It's just a small open space, nothing special." One person answered lightly.
"Open space?" Wu Captou was unwilling to give up any clues and planned to go and see for himself.
Then, there were many footsteps following him in this direction.
"Isn't there a forest over here? It's an excellent hiding place!" Capt. Wu said in surprise, "Brothers, the opportunity to make a contribution has come! After searching, you will definitely find something!"
