Chapter 28.test each other

It has been one day deep into the mountain.

For the sake of efficiency in hunting, a group of people were divided into three teams, keeping a certain distance from each other but taking care of each other.

'kindness?Something seems not quite right. '

During the march, Li Mao looked at the path along the way and frowned from time to time.

In some inconspicuous places, Li Mao clearly saw traces of someone's first steps.

"Huai'an, do you often walk this road?"

Li Mao looked at a fresh knife mark on the tree nearby and couldn't help but ask.

"Huh? We? No way.

How could it be possible to go so deep when there were few people? This mountain forest is not my home. If I were unlucky enough to encounter a pack of wolves, my life would be at stake if there were few people. "

Qin Huaian was a little confused, but he answered seriously after all.

Although he didn't care much about Li Mao, his uncle who was younger than him.

But with his father's majesty, Qin Huaian still didn't want to try more.

"So, these traces should not have been made by one of our own?"

Li Mao asked, pointing to a mark cut by a machete.

"Traces? How is that possible?! We, the people from Qinjiagou, are coming from this direction.

There has been no organized hunting for several days, how could anyone leave traces here. "

Qin Huaian approached the place pointed by Li Mao with disbelief in his mouth.

After squinting his eyes and carefully examining it for a full 2 ​​minutes, he finally made a conclusion:

"This was not made by our people. Our machetes do not have such marks."

"That would be interesting."

Li Mao rubbed his chin with some green spots and couldn't help but think about it.

Qin Huaian raised his hand and scratched the top of his head through his hat:

"Could it be a fellow villager nearby? It can't be a mountaineer hiding in the mountains, right?

We in Qinjiagou have not heard of this group of mountain people for many years. "

"Mountain people? Fellow villagers? I'm afraid it's all wrong."

Li Mao took two steps to the side and looked at some faint footprints near the roots of the tree.

"Huai'an, come here and step next to this footprint so I can take a look."

"Huh? Okay, Uncle Li Mao, I'll be here right away."

Although he didn't quite understand the reason why Li Mao said this, Qin Huaian still nodded in agreement and walked over.

As for the reason for obedience, don't ask.

The question is that the Qin family has strict family laws!
Qin Huaian's feet landed next to the footprints.

Even if I was walking normally, it would be much clearer if I landed next to the footprints.

"How much do you weigh?" Li Mao looked at the footprints carefully and asked.

"More than 150 catties."

Qin Huaian replied, but still couldn't understand the reason for Li Mao's words.

"More than 140 pounds, size 43 shoes, the footprints are heavy on the outside and light on the inside, are they loopy?"

Listening to the data Li Mao was talking about, Qin Huaian still didn't take it to heart.

Although there were not many bow-legged people at this time, there were more or less people who had experienced riding horses or riding animals all year round.

It is not uncommon to see a bow-legged hunter occasionally in the mountains and forests.

If Li Mao only stopped here, it would be normal.

"Huai'an, is your big toe turned out?"

"How is it possible to have valgus? I'm not a child, and I don't wear clogs. How can it be possible for me to have valgus?

Ok?
eversion? ! "

Hearing this, Qin Huaian suddenly trembled, and his originally tired body immediately became energized.

"Yes, eversion. Look at this footprint. The pressure point at the front is obviously different from your footprints."

Li Mao nodded, although he was not sure whether the owner of the footprints was who he guessed.But after all, we can’t take it lightly.

Mentioning this incident, Qin Huaian's whole appearance changed, and his eyes became sinister.

He is not a fool. Whatever Li Mao can think of, he can naturally think of it.

If the owner of this footprint is really an enemy agent, maybe he can still get a job in the city with these.

Even if you can't get a job in the city, you can just get a position in the brigade.

In winter, the nights are long and the days are short.

Don't look at it, they have built a shack and gathered a bonfire.

But this depends on the time, and it's only five or six o'clock at most.

"No, Uncle Li Mao, we have to discuss this matter with my father. I will have someone contact my father and the others right now!"

When Qin Huaian said this, he did not dare to raise his head at all.

If this thing is true.

Qin Huaian's move was suspected of stealing credit.

"Shall we go find Brother Qin? Okay, no problem. There is strength in numbers. While people are calling Brother Qin, let's look for clues nearby.

At least we need to know how many people there are. "

Li Mao narrowed his eyes and did not jump out to find fault at this time.

He hasn't received the credit yet, and if there's a falling out, he won't get anywhere.

Seeing that Li Mao didn't overreact, Qin Huaian smiled shyly.

He is also a big boss, so he naturally knows that Qinjiagou wants to take advantage of this matter, and must communicate with Li Mao.

As for what to pay, Qin Huaian is not qualified to negotiate with Li Mao at all.

After half an hour.

The tired Qin Guoping walked out of the forest with a few people holding torches.

Although there are no lanterns.

But in the mountains and forests, the firelight is more conspicuous and gives people a sense of security.

The shack was set up outside to keep out the wind, and there were people standing guard outside.

Li Mao and Qin Guoping gathered around the campfire and exchanged news with each other.

"How's it going? Did you find any useful clues?"

Qin Guoping picked up a sweet potato from the campfire.

Regardless of whether it is hot or not, both hands weigh each other and peel off the sweet potato skin.

Li Mao frowned, gestured with branches on the ground, and said in a deep voice:
"The situation is not good. Five obvious traces were found nearby. Judging from the traces left behind, there are men and women.

The other party did not stay nearby, as if the destination was very clear. "

"Huh~huh~ The destination is clear, so it's a bit difficult to handle."

Qin Guoping and Li Mao looked at each other, and each saw the uneasiness in the other's eyes.

Five people, the traces are obvious and the purpose is clear. For them, this is both good news and bad news.

Although the current situation is uncertain, there are also many owners who have grasped these footprints who have problems.

Even if they are not enemy agents, they must at least be a group of local masters.

"What did Brother Li say?"

Qin Guoping frowned and looked at Li Mao, who was silent.

“From a time perspective, if we go back and call people now, it will definitely be too late.

But if it's just us who surround us, if the other party's destination has any heavy firepower, we'll all have to explain it here.

But similarly, if the other party is really who we think, the credit is probably not small. "

They all understood what Li Mao said.

Qin Guoping's original purpose in asking this question was to get an answer from Li Mao's mouth.

In this case, the credit must go to them. If something goes wrong and there are casualties, Li Mao can help share the blame.

But who would have imagined that this young man, Li Mao, could be so cunning. He seemed to have said everything, but it was as if he had not said anything at all, and he just pushed the question back.
