Chapter 292: Searching for people
Hu Changlin, who got up after taking a nap at home, was planning to go to the Zhao Lan’s construction site. As soon as he got out of the gate, he saw their family’s carriage rushing towards him. He quickly dodged to avoid being crushed by it.
The horse stopped not far ahead and made an unusual cry.
Hu Changlin rushed to the front while calling out Hu Feng, but no one answered him.
Hu Changlin saw the arrow on the horse’s butt and blood flows down from the wound.
“This, this, what is this?” He hurriedly climbed up the carriage and lifted the curtain to look inside. There was no one inside. A pack of medicine was scattered in the corner of the carriage. And next to it, there was a shoe. It looks like Bai Zhi’s shoe.
Zhao Lan came over from behind: “Is Zhi’er back?”
Hearing Zhao Lan’s voice, Hu Changlin quickly got out of the carriage: “Zhao Lan, this is bad.”
Zhao Lan rushed quickly and asked: “What happened?”
Hu Changlin jumped down with Bai Zhi’s shoe in his hand: “There is an accident. An accident. This is Zhier’s shoe, right?”
Zhao Lan took the shoe from his hand and looked at it, then she said: “Yes, this is Zhier’s shoe. What happened? Her shoe is here, what about her?” Zhao Lan suddenly became flustered.
Hu Changlin pointed at the injured horse: “It came back by himself. And neither Hu Feng or Zhi’er was there. Only this shoe. Look at the carriage, there are many sword marks. Did they encounter bandit?”
Zhao Lan burst into tears and grabbed Hu Changlin’s arms: “What should we do? What should we do?”
After all, Hu Changlin is a man. He was calmer when he encounters something than ordinary women. He comforted Zhao Lan and said: “I’ll go to Village Chief, you go and look for Lu Dafu to give it a cure.”
Zhao Lan shook her head: “I don’t have the heart to manage the horse. I’ll go with you.”
Hu Changlin understood that she was very anxious now, so he nodded his head: Well, let’s go together.”
The two hurried to Village Chief Li’s house and told what happened. Village Chief Li also became anxious. He quickly asked Hu Changlin to go to the construction site to ask the workers to help. He went to the village to call a group of people who had nothing to do at home. Before, when Bai Zhi sold rice for a low price, she received a few praises from the villagers. So now, when a group of men heard that she and Hu Feng had an accident, they were very willing to help. A large group of people came out of the village.
From dawn until night, everyone searched for them. They ignited their torches and continued looking for the two when the sky darkens. They look for a place with obvious traces of fighting. Soon, they found a place were a lot of feathered arrows scattering. The arrows looked the same to the arrow on the horse’s butt. So, they searched the nearby woods and hillside a couple of times. But still, they didn’t find any trace of the two.
When Village Chief Li saw that everyone was tired, he looked for places that are not easy to found, but there was no result. He simply proposed to go back first and then go to the town tomorrow to report.
Although Hu Changlin and Zhao Lan were not reconciled, they had no other choice but to go back with everyone.
Awu, who was holding a torch carefully examined the ground. He found some unusual traces on the hillside not far from the fighting scene.
At the edge of the hillside, there were obvious traces of falling, as well as the long mark of sword’s slit. Awu held the torch and looked down. The bottom was not visible. Even if it wasn’t a cliff, it’s enough to kill people.
Did they fall?
