Chapter 1181

Zhang Ming's words made everyone very happy. Although Shi a was also very happy, he didn't like others. Instead, he asked Zhang Ming more carefully about what he saw.

According to Zhang Ming, what he saw above the mountain should be on the other side of the mountain, but in a valley a few miles away, there is a small village with more than ten families. However, it is still unknown how many people there are in the village and what the situation is in the village. Zhang Ming asked another Ranger to continue to observe on the mountain and go down the mountain first Report it to Shia.

Upon hearing this, Shi a turned to Tian Zhe and said, "Tian Qu Chang, you and Ben will go to the mountains to have a look. The rest of us will be on guard and wait for our party to return to make arrangements."

"No!" All agreed.

Shia, regardless of the others, took three and two steps under the leadership of Zhang Ming, and quickly ran up the mountain. A moment later, the group finally climbed up the mountain, only to see that another Ranger had climbed up a big tree on the mountain. When they saw several people climbing up the mountain, he slipped down from the tree.

"General!"

"Well, do you see any problem?"

"I can't see it. It's a small village with about ten families. They have cultivated a small field around the village. It seems that food has been planted in the field. There are still people working in the field, but only about ten people. From the figure, there should be women and children..."

Shia nodded and looked in the direction they pointed to. Sure enough, at the foot of a half hill a few miles ahead, there were more than ten thatched cottages. At the foot of the hill, there seemed to be a stream, and there were some fields by the stream. You can see that the fields had been planted with crops, and now they were slightly green. You can see a few bodies in the fields The shadow is working, but the figure inside is really like a woman and a child.

Several people observed for a while, and suddenly saw some figures appear from the stream at the foot of the mountain. They should have come from the east of the mountain where the village is located. Then they vaguely heard cheers. Seeing this, Shi a has basically confirmed that they are now in the upper party territory. It is estimated that they should be in the westernmost It's too late.

Shi amu measured that the distance between the two peaks was about three or four Li, but if they didn't climb the mountain, they would have to go south to bypass the peak at their feet, and then turn north to reach the peak of the opposite village. It seems that the distance is at least ten li.

After thinking about it, Shi said, "let's go down the mountain and camp here for the time being. In the evening, a few of us will go to the village to have a look. Zhang Ming, you two will continue to observe here, and I'll send someone to replace you later. "

"No After hearing this, they whispered a promise. Then Shi a and Tian zhe left the mountain and went down to the rest place.

Seeing that everyone was looking at the four of them eagerly, Shi a said with a smile: "if we have not guessed wrong, we should have arrived at the boundary of Yu's family in Shangdang county. However, we can't be sure yet. We will find a place to rest around here tonight. In the evening, we will send someone to the other side of the mountain to inquire again."

"Hoo

"Great!"

All of them lowered their voices and cheered. Seeing Shia's serious eyes, they lowered their voice again. However, it is self-evident that everyone is very happy.

They went back for a long distance, then found a slightly higher but relatively flat place in a mountain depression, cleaned up the surroundings, spread a felt blanket and sat down. Then they took out pieces of dry food from their personal bags and slowly ate the food with the cold water in their kettle.

Now that there are people living several miles away, they can't make a fire today, they can only eat dry food and cold water. However, seeing that their task is about to be completed, we all don't care about it. We just hope that we can determine where we are in this evening.

After dinner, they all lay there quietly, watching the sky getting dark. Shi a and Tian zhe led several Rangers and soldiers to leave the camp and go to the mountain where Zhang Ming and Zhang Ming were hiding.

Soon the party arrived on the mountain and saw several people coming up. Zhang Ming and Zhang Ming quickly returned to the west side of the mountain. Then the other three came to the hiding place where Zhang Ming and Zhang Ming were observing.

"How?" Shi a asked;

at this time, the village has been rising curling smoke, it seems that the village has begun to prepare for late food.

"There are about fifty or sixty people in the village. Just now, another ten years ago, people came out of the mountains in the south. It seems that they are the hunters in the village..." Then Zhang Ming gave a detailed introduction to Shi a about what they had just seen.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Shi a looked at the sky and said, "Zhang Ming, you two should go back to the camp and have a rest. You can bring someone to change it in the second half of the night. Remember, the camp must be well guarded. Don't be careless. Tian Quchang and I went to the village in front of us to have a look. Fortunately, the weather is fine today. Although the moon is not big, it can light up the road. It's just a little hard to walk. We will return in the second half of the night at the latest. "After listening, Zhang Ming and one of the four who came with Shi a just now returned to the camp. Shi a and Tian zhe quietly went down the mountain from the top of the mountain in the afterglow of the setting sun and went towards the hillside of the opposite mountain.

As the saying goes, looking at the mountain is a dead horse. Although Shia's village on the opposite hillside is only three or five miles away from him from the mountain, when they really walk up, it's seven or eight miles to go down the mountain. Then there are two or three miles to go between the two mountains. They climb a hillside two or three miles away, and they are not familiar with the road Walking at night, so when they got to the village, it was almost one o'clock.

At this time, most of the families in the village have fallen asleep. Only two families have a yellow oil lamp on. Shi a stands there, only to find that he has no good way to enter the village to inquire about the news. Finally, he has no choice but to go back with Tian Zhe.

When the two returned to the mountains where their soldiers were lurking, it was already past three o'clock, and Zhang Ming had replaced the secret sentry in the first half of the night. Shi a confessed Zhang Ming after a few words, and Tian zhe returned to the place where we camped.
