Before dawn, Jiang Lian went to check Bai Shuixiao's movements. After returning, he greeted Meng Qianzi on the way.

Tracking during the day is better than night, and there are advantages and disadvantages. The advantages are visible at a glance, and the disadvantages are also visible at a glance - it is convenient for you to track her, and it is not difficult for her to find you, so you have to be more careful and widen a distance.

Meng Qianzi settled breakfast along the way and rested overnight. She had no major problems with her feet, but she still couldn't raise her strength, and only recovered 60% to 70%. At the same time, as the night passed and the day came, her kindness towards Jiang Lian, which was easily sprouted by the night and amplified by listening to stories, shrank a little more: the night blocked Jiang Lian's face, which was easy to make people emotional and emotional, but the sun was bright and bright, so he made his eyes and eyes that had repeatedly opposed her.

One code is converted into one code, and the Mirage Bead can still be lent, but her cold attitude cannot be changed. Okay, I was shaken when I heard a story. I looked down on myself a little: if this matter spreads, someone asked her for this in the future and told her tragic stories. Can I still do my best?

Jiang Lian naturally noticed the subtle changes in Meng Qianzi's attitude, but the boat of friendship finally swept away the oars, and the passengers' attitude was a little cold, so he didn't care: after last night, things were already eight to nine points, and he was very content with seeking kindness.

that is……

He felt that Meng Qianzi's words "First follow, then try to contact Meng Jinsong" were not feasible. This was obviously becoming more and more biased and gradually disappeared. It was not easy to contact people outside.

***

It is difficult to walk on the mountain road, especially in this kind of mountain that is rarely visited. After half a day of travel, I was exhausted and had only crossed one or two hills. I became more and more confused as I walked, and I didn’t know where I was.

Meng Qianzi was also confused: she was not familiar with western Hunan, and the older generation of mountain ghosts could tell the way through the mountain tops and mountains, but in recent decades, everyone has been accustomed to relying on various electronic positioning equipment. Without the support of equipment, they basically looked at it.

Near noon, Bai Shuixiao stopped for the third time to rest, and Jiang Lian and Meng Qianzi also stopped immediately.

Bai Shuixiao seemed very alert. Every time she rested, she never sat in the same place, always walked around, looked around, sometimes stood up, sometimes squatted down, and several times, even though she was obviously crouching on the ground, she would suddenly jump out, as if she was catching something.

It was too far away and could not see it in detail. Jiang Lian was alert. He had learned some Bai Shuixiao's methods from Meng Qianzi: this woman was mixed with Tian Yapo, and might also use some poisonous insects. If he really started, he would be extremely careful. After all, the insects and beasts in the mountains would sell Meng Qianzi's face, but would not recognize Jiang Lian's face.

...

In the afternoon, the mountains changed.

With a darkness above my head, the forest becomes even darker. Meng Qianzi's temperament is the most unbearable. Whether it is "undercover" or following, it is best to achieve results in half a day. Now, there is no progress from night to day. In addition to walking, it is inevitable that he is impatient.

Jiang Lian saw it and comforted her with words: "This trip shouldn't be running for nothing. As long as you follow her and follow the clues, the person behind her will not be able to escape. Also, your chain is full of ** on her."

The second half of the sentence was really exciting, and Meng Qianzi felt aroused: "In her body... in her hair?"

Jiang Lian nodded: "I rescued her back that day, bandaged her, and checked the items she carried with me, but there was no chain. She had the habit of hiding things in her hair bun, and the chain was not big. If she was sure that she took it away, it would probably be hidden there. So we have to have a backup plan. If the tracking fails and is discovered, she will immediately stop her and grab the things. If she can get it back, she will not be busy."

This is, Jin Ling can come back, which means that most of the matter has been done. Meng Qianzi was about to say something, but suddenly stumbled slightly on her ankle.

It suddenly broke like a very thin line.

Jiang Lian also felt this way. His expression changed and he whispered: "Be careful!"

Meng Qianzi reacted quickly and quickly rolled down to the ground. Jiang Lian rolled away nearby. As soon as he hit the ground, he heard a flapping sound, as if a bird was flapping its wings. Then there was a ringing ring, jingling, extremely chaotic.

The mountains are quiet, and the sounds are quite harsh. In addition, the terrain has hidden echoes, which are repeated several times, and are endless like death.

Jiang Lian thought it had triggered some fatal chain mechanism, and his scalp was slightly numb. After lying on the ground for a few seconds, he realized that there was no other abnormality except the ringtone.

He raised his head and Meng Qianzi felt something was strange not far away. The two of them looked at each other and stood up one after another.

There was indeed no other movement, only the ringtones on the trees on both sides of the east and west sides were constantly wandering and gradually weakening.

Jiang Lian first checked the tripwire. There was no broken line there and there was no trace of it. But he was sure that there was a thread across it before: in this deep mountain, in this season, the fallen leaves and branches on the ground were piled up very thickly. Under the cover of the branches and leaves, a thin line was pulled down. Even if he was lying on the ground, he might not be able to see it, let alone walking.

He understood a little why Bai Shuixiao walked around several times when she was resting before: she was arranging the mechanism and arranged more than one, but the previous few times, he and Meng Qianzi were lucky and took a step, but they didn't meet it.

At this end, Meng Qianzi walked to the east tree, looked up at the height of the place, as if he had discovered something, and waved to him.

Jiang Lian also came to see him.

On the low-rise tree branches, there are about a dozen bell-beating columns hanging in a staggered height. They are not hanging with ropes, but are hanging with thin iron chains. The iron chains and the impact columns have been rusted so much, which shows how old it is.

Meng Qianzi looked around and picked up a bird's feather from the bushes not far away: "Before Bai Shuixiao, he should have been catching birds."

Jiang Lian suddenly reacted.

I understood, Bai Shuixiao pulled up a straight thin line on the road, and the two ends were connected by birds. I don’t know what method she used to make the birds lie quietly in the local area and not struggle. Once someone walked by, he accidentally tripped off the thin line, and the entanglement on the birds would be untied, and they would inevitably fly high. The top of the tree directly above was a bell array, and the birds flew from bottom to top, and they would naturally ring the bells when they shook the column.

And together with the ringtone, it is a warning.

Things were going wrong. Jiang Lian looked around vigilantly and whispered to Meng Qianzi: "Hide it first. If she hears the movement and comes back to check, we will do it."

Meng Qianzi didn't say anything, she frowned, as if thinking about something.

Bai Shuixiao must have heard the movement. Fortunately, the distance between the two sides was far apart before, and even if she turned back, it would take a certain amount of time - Jiang Lian grabbed Meng Qianzi and quickly covered herself up behind a nearby tree.

Suddenly, Meng Qianzi murmured: "This is a small side wall."

Jiang Lian was stunned for a moment: "Miaojiang border wall?"

He had only heard of the border wall of Miaojiang, which is the legendary Southern Great Wall.

Meng Qianzi shook her head: "No, it's a small side wall. When the Miao people were afraid of the garrison attacks, they carefully set up different mechanism traps, distributed in a strip shape. They are not a side wall, but better than a side wall, so they are called a small side wall - this is a bird bell array, which is used to prevent garrison attacks and warnings. The positions are staggered and cannot touch each other when the wind blows, and will not make a sound unless the birds fly up from the bottom... Bai Shuixiao used the old bell array, which was made locally and temporarily arranged."

She told Jiang Lian: "You should pay attention to the movements around you first. I have to think about it. I have seen the map of Xiangxi... I should be able to remember something."

She closed her eyes.

Although she is not as good as Jiang Lian, her ability to recognize and record pictures is still far beyond ordinary people: on the night when Liu Sheng was killed, she once asked someone to hang the Xiangxi map in the house, holding the score-recognizing the fire eyes and carefully looking at the small side wall. If she could recall the location of the bird bell array and the surrounding mountain shapes, she could deduce the direction of the two, so as to roughly grasp the direction and not be completely lost in this mountain.

Jiang Lian did not disturb her, and kept paying attention to her surroundings. The more she waited, the more uneasy he became: Logically speaking, Bai Shuixiao should look back and check, because the thin line broke and shocked the bell formation, it might not be a person, or a passing bird or beast. She had not appeared for a long time, and it was very likely that she had noticed it. It would be easy to turn the tables on such things. You were still a tracker before, and you would become the tracker in the next second...

Just as I was thinking, I suddenly saw orange-red fireworks rising in the distance.

It is not accurate to say that it is fireworks. It is more like colored smoke blooming like petals, which set off the dim sky, which is very dazzling.

Jiang Lian is familiar with this scene. When she was following Bai Shuixiao last night, she set off similar fireworks. Soon someone drove a tractor to pick her up: Bai Shuixiao didn't carry too many objects, she should have set up some burials on the route she often takes to facilitate timely accessing along the way.

Bai Shuixiao is really intimate with a wide range of friends and has helpers everywhere.

Jiang Lian whispered: "She is looking for someone to help."

***

The mountain dogs in Dawuling are indeed very efficient. The next afternoon, they brought all the tools and equipment, and drove straight to the entrance of Bahanzhai. According to the plan, after connecting Meng Jinsong and his group here, they could go straight to Xuandanfenglin.

Meng Jinsong was very satisfied with this efficiency, and when he came out, he saw someone who shouldn't have appeared.

Xin Ci.

Meng Jinsong frowned: "What are you here to do?"

Xin Cixie said: "Isn't Qianzi my boss like this? Don't I care about her?"

Meng Jinsong said it very rudely: "If you put on Qianzi's makeup, no one can do it better than you, but in this situation, I can't see any practical significance except for causing trouble and dragging your legs."

Xin Ci's face felt hot. In terms of force, he was indeed at the bottom, but everyone was busy running around and asking him to stay at Yunmeng Peak for a while. It was really painful: no matter how bad he was, he would always help him to drive, pick up firewood, and guard the equipment.

Just as he was embarrassed, he suddenly saw the charlatan jumping happily not far away. Xin Ci pointed at him: "He is an outsider, and he is still following him."

Meng Jinsong looked in the direction, then withdrew his gaze, and replied coldly: "I have something in my stomach."

After all, Meng Jinsong was not able to drive him back. After all, after the matter was over, the two had to be "colleagues", which was inconvenient to deal with it too much, but he was indeed bored: he didn't think about his own importance and went forward with everything. As expected, the eunuch was in a good manner.

He intended to neglect Xin Ci and reached out to call Liu Guanguo not far away to speak.

In the past two days, Liu Guanguo was really busy. He had to arrange everything in front and behind, big and small matters. Meng Jinsong said something, he had to say something and run apart.

He held his cell phone and trotted over.

Meng Jinsong asked him: "Is there any progress in finding out there?"

Liu Guanguo is a real person who works diligently, but unfortunately he lacks intelligence and is not so capable. He nods quickly: "Something..., aren't our people inquire everywhere? Two groups of people told me that they saw a signal flower coming out from afar in the mountains."

Signal flower?

Xin Ci was excited: "Did we use Qianzi to send a hair?"

Who can tell this? Liu Guanguo answered very steadily: "Some hikers who come to the mountains to inspect or explore have equipment that can send signals to the outside world. It is hard to say that it was sent by Miss Meng, but it is not ruled out that Miss Meng meets them in the mountains and then borrows them."

Meng Jinsong interrupted him: "It won't be sent by Qianzi. If you really meet an inspection team or a hiker, she can borrow better communication equipment. Besides, the signal is sent to the designated person, and she will not send a signal that we cannot interpret."

Liu Guanguo nodded quickly: "Yes, so too."

Xin Ci looked down on Meng Jinsong's righteous spirit: "Don't say it to death. It's not Qianzi's, maybe it's Bai Shui Xiao's? Tell me, you should pay attention to all the abnormalities..."

He asked Liu Guanguo: "Does there often be signal flowers in this mountain?"

Liu Guanguo hesitated for a moment: "This is not, I don't see it often, and it's usually a highlight, and that's a flower."

Xin Ci looked at Meng Jinsong: "I saw it, I didn't see it, but Qianzi disappeared. It put a flower on it... No matter whether it is, you can't pick someone up to follow it up? You don't lack people."

Meng Jinsong was silent for a moment. He had this benefit. He never acted hasty because of his anger. As long as the other party made sense and as long as the matter was beneficial to Qianzi, he could listen: "Can you determine the location of the signal flower?"

Liu Guanguo shook his head: "Assistant Meng, look at the mountain and run to death. A signal from the deep mountains can only know the general direction. The distance cannot be determined. Maybe one day or half a day, maybe three or five days."

There was no way, so I could only keep paying attention. Meng Jinsong was upset and was about to call everyone to get in the car and set off. Liu Guanguo suddenly remembered something again: "Oh, by the way, Assistant Meng, that Po Renling..."

Meng Jinsong was deeply impressed by this Po Renling: "So what's wrong?"

"Didn't someone go to inquire yesterday? Today, just now, another group of people passed by, saying it was strange that there was no one in the village."

"Didn't even go out?"

"No, it's just no one." Liu Guanguo only regretted that he was clumsy and could not make his words clear in a few words. "It was like evaporating in the world. There was no one in front of the village and behind the village. Half of the clothes in the washing bucket were washed, and the ashes under the stove were still soaked. I reached out to touch it, and it was a little hot. There were half of the food on the table, and the rice bowl had not been cleaned yet..."

He muttered, "I don't know if it's a check, but I have never heard of the government going to go into the mountains to check this."

Running inspection? Should we clean up these traces of illegal settlements?
