And looking at the situation, the group of people had clearly dug a grave, but they had no intention of stopping and continued to dig deeper...
Ba Qing's words also made my heart tremble slightly.
When I looked at the footprints before, I roughly thought they were three or four people. According to Ba Qing's judgment, the number of people was twice as many...
The more people there are, the more variables there are, and it’s also not that easy to deal with.
I became more alert, but I didn't lose my mind.
After all, if there is a head-on fight, Yang Qingshan has already followed me to this mountain. No matter how fierce those people are, they cannot be Yang Qingshan's opponent.
But there are always dangers in the mountains, and there are too many unknown variables.
Digging graves is already unconscionable, not to mention that these people will kill people who collect herbs. What I told Ba Qing before to kill someone with a borrowed knife is not a lie...
It is difficult for the legal system to catch and punish them, but this white-haired ghost in the mountains has this ability.
I glanced at Ba Qing's body carried by the pony, and I already had some concerns in my mind.
After thinking about it again and again, I turned over and dismounted.
Ba Qing asked me in surprise why I came down. The mountain road ahead was still very long. He just dismounted and observed the traces left by these people. There was no need for me to follow.
I shook my head and whispered something to Ba Qing.
After I finished speaking, Ba Qing's eyes widened, and sweat appeared on his forehead. He swallowed and said, "Mr. Luo, are you sure?"
I nodded and said yes.
Ba Qing glanced at the sleeping bag wrapped with the body on the short horse. The muscles on his face trembled unnaturally a few times. He clasped his hands and murmured the local dialect. I couldn't understand it completely, but it was all the same. Some words like asking our ancestors to forgive us for offending.
The words Ba Qing and I whispered were simply that we should follow the traces left by these people and catch up with them as much as possible.
Then we tried not to conflict with them, but to get close to them to see if we could cooperate.
They dug graves for "stuff" and we wanted corpses.
As for identity, I am a Yin-Yang man who is interested in corpses, and Ba Qing is the herb collector who was bribed by me to guide me.
It just so happens that we also carry a corpse, which can be used as a trustworthy item!
Ba Qing and I didn't go into too many details.
There must be someone who understands Feng Shui among that group of people. As long as I throw out a few words about Feng Shui, I will definitely be able to tell him what he desires.
In a team, especially one that digs graves like this, Mr. Feng Shui must be the core figure!
After Ba Qing murmured to the corpse for a while, he nodded solemnly to me and said that he would try not to reveal any flaws and do his best to cooperate with me.
Then he got on his horse and led me on the road.
During this period, Ba Qing would get off his horse from time to time to look at the traces and identify the path.
At the same time, he also told me that this group of people was also very familiar with the road. I don’t know if they had a map or if there were medicine collectors following them. At least for now, we were still taking the same road.
I felt a little more alert inside, and at the same time I paid close attention to my surroundings, trying to see if I could see mountain monkeys.
While on the road just now, I thought of another way, which would surely make those people take the bait.
After walking for another two or three hours, Ba Qing said that we should not be far from those people.
Looking at the footprints and broken branches, he estimated that he would be able to keep up with him if he walked for more than two hours.
During this period, I also discovered something. It was good that we were moving forward, but there were fewer mountain monkeys around than expected, but as long as I looked back, I could always see them on the trees not far away.
I easily judged that these mountain monkeys must be following us under the command of the white-haired ghost. They just look from a distance and will not approach us until dark or other opportunities.
I lowered my voice and told Ba Qing to find a way to catch mountain monkeys. From now on, we must catch at least three or five.
Ba Qing frowned, obviously thinking about a solution.
After walking a short distance further, Ba Qing told me that it would be difficult to catch the mountain monkeys following us, but there could be no other mountain monkeys in this entire mountain range.
He fumbled out some food from his hiking bag and scattered some on the road. At the same time, he told me why tourists in the mountain bother monkeys. The reason is also very simple. These mountain monkeys are bold and curious, and they also like to steal people's things. .
If we throw food and drink away, curious people will definitely take the bait.
I nodded and did not interfere with Ba Qing's approach.
In a blink of an eye, the sky was already dark.
Ba Qing and I arrived at another foothold. At this moment, some mountain monkeys were following us from behind.
This part was obviously not those following us, but other mountain monkeys attracted by the food Ba Qing threw out.
They chirped behind us, picking up things we dropped, and getting closer and closer.
This foothold is still a tree house, but it is simpler.
As we go deeper into the mountain, it becomes obvious that building a tree house is no longer easy.
Ba Qing tied up the pony with me first, and then took out a bunch of food from the mountaineering bag.
This time, he was very direct. He piled some food at the door of the tree house and took the rest inside.
Soon, two mountain monkeys couldn't resist the temptation and jumped over quickly, grabbed a handful of food, and then stepped back!
They are not slow, but if you really want to catch them, they will definitely not be able to escape.
But neither Ba Qing nor I took action.
He gave me a signal with his eyes, asking me to wait...
