Chapter 56: Humanoid Tracker
Chapter 56 Humanoid Tracker
On the road to escape, it was not easy to eat a single bite. Cui Lingyi's team had this amount of food in total, and almost all of it was given to them.
However they refused, Cui Muzhi refused to ask again.
So sincere, insisting on not eating too much is chilling.
Everyone in the team looked at Bai Wutong who was holding a bowl. Bai Wutong met Cui Muzhi's bright eyes and sighed, "Then what do you eat?"
Cui Muzhi smiled brightly and said, "Let's go pick wild vegetables again. I saw a pond in front of me just now. Later, I'll take someone to catch some big fish for Madam Bai to eat."
The pond just now, Bai Wutong also saw it, it was clearly a pool of stagnant water, and there was no fish at all.
And it was getting dark, so they searched for wild plants in the dark, and they found a few wild plants.
Reciprocity, not to mention that they waited here on purpose, just to inform them that there is danger ahead, Bai Wutong said: "It's getting dark, and you can't find many wild vegetables, why don't you come with us and have a meal."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cui Muyi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he answered without hesitation, "Okay."
Bai Wutong and the others, no matter how rough they are, they are still full of grain. Looking at the rice porridge being boiled in the pot, Cui Muzhi's moved tears flowed out of his mouth.
He was raised in Qinghe, and he can eat the delicacies of mountains and seas, as well as wild vegetables and bran, but it has been almost a month since he went out, and this is the first time, and he has not had a fragrant meal in such a long time.
Yang's stewed bacon with bamboo shoots stir-frying in a large pot was fragrant for ten li. Cui Muzhi couldn't help but sigh that giving all the wild vegetable soup to Bai Wutong and the others was the most wise move in his life.
The rest of their team also swallowed saliva frequently with Cui Muzhi as if it were a replica.
Cui Lingyi coughed lightly in an extremely shameless manner, Cui Muyi recovered his senses, jumped up again with a "swoosh", opened his mouth and said, "Cousin wants to drink, right? When the bandits came, I specially protected you. A bottle of the best daughter red, I'll go get it for you now."
Cui Lingyi's unspoken admonition immediately turned into, "Don't hurry up."
Cui Muzhi ran faster than a rabbit, and after a while, he brought the wine.
Cui Lingyi took off the lid of the wine and took a sniff, with a look of enjoyment, "Good wine." Looking at Bai Wutong again, "Let's have a drink?"
Before Bai Wutong could speak, Chu Tianbao hurriedly said, "My lady said that drinking is not good for your health, so you can't drink."
Cui Lingyi raised her eyebrows and looked at Bai Wutong, as if to say that as a woman, do you really want to listen to a man's dishonesty?
Chu Tianbao immediately stood in front of Bai Wutong, and Cui Lingyi dared to let Bai Wutong drink, so she wanted her to look good.
Cui Lingyi stared at Chu Tianbao with a meaningful look, then laughed suddenly, raised her daughter Hong and poured a large mouthful into her mouth, but unfortunately said: "It seems that I can only enjoy the wine tonight."
Cui Muzhi leaned over with a sullen face, "Cousin, just give me a bite."
Cui Lingyi raised his face, "What kind of wine does a child drink, it's not good for your health, didn't you have ears just now?"
Cui Muzhi pouted, he is fifteen this year, and he will be married soon, what a child.
If you don’t give it a drink, you don’t give it a drink, and you make so many excuses.
Cui Lingyi is extremely unrestrained in drinking, and she finished a bottle of daughter red in a short time, which is very different from her usual noble and polite appearance.
Bai Wutong was surprised, Cui Muzhi smiled at her: "Do you know what my cousin's nickname is?"
"what?"
Cui Muzhi said with a wicked smile, "The wine barrel!"
Bai Wutong was stunned for a moment, and Cui Muzhi said again: "She doesn't get drunk after a thousand cups. Drinking is the same as drinking water. She can't drink sorghum for a long time."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cui Muzhi slapped him on the head, "Stinky boy, there are so many words."
"It's not what my cousin said, honesty is the foundation of being a person."
"I didn't let you talk too much!"
The two siblings joked familiarly, and Bai Wutong couldn't help but smile.
Their sibling relationship is really good.
Cui Lingyi and Cui Muzhi had their stomachs full, and Bai Wutong asked, "All the officials at the entrance have painted a portrait of us?"
Coincidentally, Cui Lingyi was a cautious person, afraid that they would not believe it, so Lan Jingbai specially made a collection of portraits.
Bai Wutong took a look and saw that such an abstract painting, apart from its key features, was almost not a human being.
Bai Wutong asked Cui Lingyi in surprise: "Do you really recognize us?"
Cui Lingyi pointed at the portrait and said, "The artist's technique is a bit clumsy, but with so many of you together, you can still guess."
Bai Wutong knew that if they were on the road together, even if they were disguised, they would most likely be stopped.
They didn't want to separate, so they could only take the road where the officers and soldiers were not stationed.
Cui Lingyi looked at Bai Wutong, "Little Phoenix, what are your plans?"
Bai Wutong was startled, "Little Phoenix?"
"Phoenix perched on the plane tree, you are not a little phoenix, don't you sound good?" Cui Lingyi laughed, "You can also call me by my word, sake."
It was just a title anyway, so Bai Wutong acquiesced and said, "I plan to take the mountain road without officers and soldiers."
Cui Lingyi: "How does Little Phoenix know which mountain road has no officers and soldiers?"
Bai Wutong suddenly smiled and said, "Naturally there is my way."
On the second day, the team set off, Huang Zhong got on the horse for the first time and walked at the front of the team.
Cui Lingyi's team marched hand in hand with them, and said strangely: "What do you say?"
Bai Wutong thinks that it's still very accurate to see people, so it's okay to tell her, looking at Huang Zhong and saying, "He is the way."
“?”
Bai Wutong met her puzzled expression and smiled, "His nose is very smart, he can smell any smell in a radius of several miles. According to the smell, he can determine how many people and where they are, and he can help us escape the search."
As soon as these words came out, Cui Lingyi's calm face showed obvious excitement.
She took a piece of jade pendant that was close to her, and placed her trembling hand in front of Bai Wutong, "If he smells the owner of the jade pendant, can he judge the owner's position?"
Bai Wutong thought that Huang Zhong could often find things like ginseng by his nose on the road, and nodded, "It should be possible."
Cui Lingyi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he begged: "Little Phoenix, can you ask him to help me find my father's location? He's missing now. We asked along the way, but there was no news when we got here."
Bai Wutong nodded, and immediately called Huang Zhong, asking him to help Cui Lingyi to try to determine the current position of Prime Minister Cui.
Huang Zhong was very happy that he could come in handy. He took the jade pendant and sniffed the already faint scent on it carefully. It took a while to keep the smell in his mind. He closed his eyes, moved his nose, and immediately, All kinds of smells in all directions were sucked into his mind like a vacuum cleaner.
Cui Lingyi looked at him expectantly.
After a long time, Huang Zhong suddenly opened his eyes, pointed to one of the directions, and said to Bai Wutong: "Master, the rain has washed away the smell, and I can only smell the traces of his path."
The prisoners sent to the frontier will be tortured on the road, and if they are not careful, they will die on the road. Cui Lingyi has a general direction. She is afraid that her father can't wait.
