Chapter 115 Someone Finally Arrives in the Cave
Lichun then entered the yard, and the group finished their dinner in a lively manner.
As expected, a lot of people came the next day. An Qiao took a look around and found that they were all young and middle-aged people. She was very satisfied.
This is another encouragement, encouraging everyone to work together.
The restaurant here was in full swing, and on the other side, the Dali Temple finally made some progress.
"Sir Shaoqing, it snowed last night, and someone did come to the big cave. I squatted on a tree and watched him. He was a sneaky man, perhaps afraid of being seen... He wore night clothes and behaved strangely. It seemed that he had scattered stones or medicine powder on the road. In short, it was very strange." Shuangxi recalled the man from last night again, looked at Gu Qingyun, and then looked at Wuhuan beside him.
Wu Huan raised his chin, motioning him to continue.
"I just saw a pair of eyes, quite big and cunning, and he reacted very quickly when looking around. Including his actions, he was more like a scout. I don't believe he has no training, his actions look too much like he has been trained." Shuangxi looked at Wuhuan and used many adjectives, but none of them referred to his appearance.
Wu Huan was also worried, "What about other things, height, weight, and body shape?"
"He is not very tall, probably shorter than Zhao Huaiqing, and not very heavy either. He looks very light, more like a six-eared macaque." Shuangxi said again.
Wu Huan scratched his head and began to write with difficulty, "What do you think of his movements last night?"
"Last night, I was squatting on the tree as usual. Later, it snowed. I wanted to retreat, but I remembered what Master Shaoqing said that they might take action on this snowy night, so I huddled on the tree again and didn't move. Later, I heard noises coming from below, but I didn't dare to move because I was afraid that the other party was a master. I just listened until he took out a bag of powder from his pocket. I don't know what it was, but it felt a bit like stone.
He just scattered the garbage downwards, and after he had scattered a whole bag, he looked left and right before walking along the path.
Lord Shaoqing said before that they would come on a snowy night, and it turned out to be true, but it seems that he didn't do this to cover up the traces...
His actions seemed more like an invitation to be followed. I saw with my own eyes that he left a lot of footprints, and then turned around and tiptoed out, following the footprints.
I was afraid that he would see me, so I didn't dare to move. It was snowing and white at night. If something moved, it would definitely be discovered, so I didn't dare to move. " Shuangxi recalled last night. He didn't prepare to follow the footprints until the man walked away.
But just as he was about to do it, he saw a bird suddenly fly out from the man's side. Shuangxi was so frightened that he dared not move. "I was scared. If it weren't for the flock of birds, I would have followed his footprints and been discovered."
Because he didn't know when the man would leave, Shuangxi squatted on the tree without moving. Even when the day broke, he didn't dare to move rashly. He walked a long way before he found the place where the man had been hiding last night.
There was no man there, but similarly, there were no footprints, no trace at all, covered by the white snow, and nothing could be found.
"What about the things on the ground?" Gu Qingyun asked.
Shuangxi took out the pair of scrapped shoes with a bitter face. The soles were covered with sticky glue, as if several kinds of glue were mixed together and then painted.
"It's in a ball, like it's wrapped in flour or sand. It doesn't matter if it has no weight. If it has weight, it will stick immediately and can effectively prevent others from tracking. I suspect that they are either always so careful, or we have been hiding for so long that we might have been exposed..." Shuangxi lowered his eyelids.
"If we are exposed, the other party is just guessing and not sure. Otherwise, they might as well not come or temporarily give up this point. If they are really so careful, then the supplies in this cave must be extraordinary." Gu Qingyun said, touching his chin.
"Supplies are constantly being delivered into that cave, so of course it must be something very important." Shinkai said as he entered.
"No, that's not what I meant. It's... if they were really that careful, they would definitely give the food to people who are not allowed to be known by outsiders. So much food is enough for at least 4000 people for a month. If it were children and women, it might be enough for 6000 people for a month. So much food, so many people, if they don't want outsiders to know, then they are either private soldiers or some illegal organization." Gu Qingyun said seriously.
"We have to follow that man's trail. We'll all go tonight and ambush him from all sides. If he comes, even if we catch him, we can't be without any clues." Gu Qingyun's eyes were sharp. He would rather catch the man and interrogate him than just let it go.
The others nodded and got ready.
During this month, the Tiandi Sect had transported food into the cave at least three times, and several other sects, except the Tianshi Sect, had also transported food into the cave at least once.
I would wait there every day, in different places.
Every sect has a "leader" or "saint" who is like a leader. Their role is usually to soothe people's hearts and give speeches to put a little light in the eyes of those lifeless people who have been controlled.
That night.
The entire Kyoto Prefecture fell into silence. The Dali Temple group went up the mountain in the afternoon. It had been snowing lightly the whole day, and now it was night, it was extremely cold.
Several people were squatting in different places, trying to keep their breath as low as possible.
It would be fine if the person who came was a warrior who could only learn martial arts, but if he was a master, he would probably be able to hear everyone's breathing, so everyone could only try to reduce their breathing to the minimum, disperse, and pretend to be animals in the forest.
By midnight, the snow had begun to fall much heavier, and the dense snow soon covered the road.
Shuangxi described this man as a macaque during the day, but no one quite believed it.
Only when I saw the person coming did I believe Shuangxi's words. He really looked like a six-eared macaque.
This man was thin and small, and he ran very fast. The snow did not affect his movements at all.
I saw him running quickly to the place where he had sprinkled the glue last night. The small particles were intact in the place outside the cave that was not soaked by the snow.
He dug at the nearby snow again and saw that the small particles were lying intact under the snow, with no human footprints.
He nodded with satisfaction and blew a whistle towards the other side of the mountain.
At this time, Gu Qingyun was standing on a tree less than ten meters away from him, holding his breath tightly. Gu Qingyun had a premonition that this was a big fish that he dared not even think about.
The whistle soon spread throughout the valley, and the people from Dali Temple saw a scene that they would never forget in their entire lives.
At the other end of the vast white snowfield, after the whistle sounded, dozens of horses galloped out, with burly men wearing animal furs sitting on the horses. On this small meadow, they actually ran like an army of thousands.
