Chapter 588: The Darkness Before Dawn

The bell of the court rang leisurely, and the two people with their own thoughts nodded to each other tacitly, and then straightened up their clothes together and walked towards the main hall of the court.

It's just that the official Yan is smiling brightly, but Xiangchenghou didn't notice that in the crowd, a middle-aged official looked at him with a particularly playful look.

Today, it has been almost a month since Xiao Han's disappearance.

After such a long time of not seeing a person in life and a corpse in death, it is inevitable that some strange thoughts will not appear in people's hearts!

Before the earthquake, the ramp that Xiao Han walked was repaired by the Ministry of Industry and could already accommodate people to pass by.

But since the fat cook was found that day, the search team has not found a single living person! Even if it was a corpse, only a handful of them had been found.

Originally, the people of the Sixteen Guards did not look for Baoshui, because if they fell into Baoshui in this season, it would basically be no different from boarding the book of life and death of Lord Yama!

But now, almost every day, they have to send people down to both sides of the river to look for them, and everyone knows what they are looking for.

The hinterland of the Qinling Mountains is the same place where Xiao Han was camped on the day of the earthquake.

Covered in dust and bloodshot eyes, Liu Hongji sat on a boulder that rolled down from the top of the mountain.

Around him, several soldiers with knives were digging through the gravel and dirt on the ground from time to time.

Everyone is covered in mud and dust, just like Hanako!

They haven't known how many days they've been in Qinling, and they've never walked out since they came in!

So many days have passed, and everyone knows in their hearts: a person who does not have any supplies and does not bring any warm clothes has a slim chance of surviving in the Qinling Mountains!

But their boss Liu Hongji stubbornly believes that Xiao Han will always have miracles, just like the miracles he brought in the past!

"Don't look for it here, those grandsons in front of you have already turned it over once! You all think about it for me, where can Xiao Han, this rabbit cub, go? ”

With an irritable roar, Liu Hongji jumped onto the stone and looked far away, hoping to see a little hope.

Several of his own soldiers were already tired at this time, and when they heard this, they immediately threw down the rocks and wood! Together, they found a place without snow and sat down to rest.

Two of them carefully unwound their trouser legs and rubbed the wounds on their feet.

This wound is not serious, in fact, those who are seriously injured have already been sent out of Qinling! Since the heavy snowfall, people have been injured in various search teams, and some serious ones have fallen directly into the cliff and disappeared again.

The Qinling Mountains are no more dangerous than other places, not to mention the dangerous terrain, this snow falls in it, and the place where it can reach the sun will melt, but the snow on the sunny side and down to the forest is estimated to not melt until the beginning of spring next year.

Ziyi also fell from a boulder a few days ago and injured her leg, but fortunately, a ranger nearby heard the cry for help, rushed over in time, and sent her to the Xiao family's temporary stronghold in the Qinling Mountains.

For example, this kind of stronghold was built by Zhang Qiang along the way, and a lot of them were built in Qinling! Each one has all kinds of supplies and medicines in it, the Xiao family said, but anyone who comes to look for their family master can take the things inside!

The ranger sent the purple clothes to the Xiao family, and he didn't think about asking for a reward.

As a result, Xue Pan happened to be there for a while that day because of the wind and cold, and when he saw this person send the purple clothes back safely, he immediately took a hundred percent worth of gold and silver as a gift, and the startled young ranger almost fainted directly.

Only then did he save a housekeeper and be able to exchange so much money! If you find the right one......

The young ranger didn't dare to imagine it anymore, and wrapped himself in a cloth of goods, and he decided to go home at once, and let his mother hide these things, and he would continue to come in to find that glimmer of opportunity!

Save one person, and get the news of a hundred times.

When the Ranger Hunter, who had been a little tired after so many days, heard about it, he was full of energy again, and rushed into the vast no-man's land with a roar like chicken blood.

Sanyuan County, since getting the news of Xiao Han's accident, it has suddenly become lifeless from vibrant!

The young men in the Zhuangzi all went to Qinling without exception, and the rest of the old men and women looked at the Zhuangzikou from time to time, hoping that the owner of the village, who had never had a shelf, would appear there with a smile.

At the beginning of the lanterns, Steward Lu returned to his home in Sanyuan County from Qinling with tired steps.

These days, he is constantly running at both ends, and the money in his hand is spent like flowing water!

Invite the master to go into the mountain, provide food and various tools for the ranger hunters, and eat, wear and live for more than 100 people in their own Zhuangzi in the Qinling Mountains, each of which requires a huge amount of financial support!

It is only now that outsiders can see the wealth of Mihara County!

With so much money to spend every day, it's enough to bankrupt a lowly family!

Even a medium-sized family can fall into a financial crisis as a result.

But the Xiao family in Sanyuan County! This is no more, no less, there is only one clansman's family, and there is no half of the power! The money spent every day makes many people blush!

"Squeak......

After a sore tooth sound, the door of Steward Lu's room opened.

Master Cao, who had a heavy expression, walked into it, and there were still a few meals on the tray in his hand.

"How? Yes... Any news? ”

Closing the door, Master Cao put the food on the table again, and then asked Steward Lu the question he would ask every day.

"Hey......" Steward Lu didn't speak, just glanced at the food and sighed deeply.

The room fell silent all of a sudden, and Master Cao pursed his lips, and the expression on his face became more and more solemn.

After waiting for a long time, he sat down next to Steward Lu, and said in a stiff tone: "Don't worry, Hou Yeji has his own natural appearance, and he will definitely be fine!" But there are some things for you to know, that is, there has been some unrest at home recently.

Zhang Qiang is not at home, and some people in the northern industrial zone are not very peaceful. Someone came up to me today and told me that he had overheard our people muttering to the guys outside, and he didn't know what to do......"

"Smack......

There was a loud bang, but it was Steward Lu who slapped the table heavily without waiting for Master Cao to finish speaking, and the force was so great that the dishes on the table seemed to jump!

"Damn it! I don't want to think about who took them in and gave them a bite to eat! Lao Cao! Why didn't you just arrest people and beat them to death! ”

Steward Lu, who suddenly got up, was furious! The originally pale face was immediately dyed with an unnatural flush! This is a sign of his rage!

Now that the head of the family has an accident, they don't hurry up to look for it with all their might, but have different intentions? If this kind of person is not killed, do you have to wait for the New Year?

"Hey, Lao Lu! Don't get excited. Master Cao saw that Steward Lu's chest on the other side kept rising and falling, and quickly stood up and pushed him back into his seat.

"Don't worry, I've got people looking at these two! Nothing could go wrong! And I have already started to prevent this kind of thing, our family is developing too fast, and the staff are all newcomers, such a situation is inevitable! When Hou Ye comes back, all these small snacks will be left to Hou Ye to dispose of! ”

Steward Lu was obviously angry, his lips were shaking, and he said for a long time: "When Hou Ye comes back, the old man must personally pick the skin of these beasts and then ask Hou Ye for guilt!" Rather lack than indiscriminate, rather lack than indiscriminate, Hou Ye has said so many times, but Lao Lu I am ashamed of Hou Ye's trust! ”
