However, Ren Chang has already sent people to the area of Tianxing County to inquire, but no one has seen Lin Mengsheng and the hot air balloon, in this case, Lin Mengsheng is likely to have landed in the seventy-mile forest, but this forest is too dense, it is not easy to find someone in it, Yuan Fang is most worried about the beasts and poisonous insects in the forest, Lin Mengsheng is only one person, I don't know if he can be caught by the rescuers.

On the way, Guan Xiaoyun asked Yu Jingqiu beside him in disbelief: "Sister Jingqiu, what is a hot air balloon, can it really fly into the sky with people?" ”

Yu Jingqiu knew a little bit about hot air balloons, nodded and said, "Well, this is my brother-in-law's idea, and I handed it over to Lin Mengsheng to improve it some time ago, but I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen." Alas, I hope that something will happen to that kid's life, otherwise my brother-in-law doesn't know what he will blame. ”

Yuan Fang's more than 200 people were divided into four teams, Sang Rou, Jieyue and Huo Bingyan each led a team, and the remaining fifty people were led by Yuan Fang.

Not long after Yuan Fang and them set off, Ren Chang followed with a thousand cavalry, Lin Mengsheng's whereabouts are unknown, if Yuan Fang has another three long and two short him, it will be really difficult to escape the blame.

Yuan Fang's entourage was not very fast, but they were very careful, and every time they walked, they would stop to find a taller tree and climb it to search for the top of the nearby tree.

As the sun set, the torches in the woods were dotted, like the stars in the sky, but they were blocked by the dense woods, and the forest at night was full of dangers, so Yuan Fang had to stop searching and camp on the spot.

Bonfires were lit to dispel vast areas of darkness, dry branches crackled in the fire, and in the distance, unknown beasts roared and crows chirped.

Throwing away a handful of dead leaves, they were ignited before they could hit the ground and turned into sparks, Yuan Fang said worriedly: "This place has been tossed for two days, and there are so many beasts, Lin Mengsheng doesn't know if that kid can survive." ”

After Sang Rou inspected the camp, she came back with two packed hares and handed them to Guan Xiaoyun and said, "Don't bake the paste, put less salt." ”

Guan Xiaoyun looked at the fat rabbits, smashed them and said, "Just two, not enough to eat." ”

Yuyue glanced at the foodie and said, "How much more do you want?" If you want to eat enough, you can catch it yourself. ”

Sang Rou saw Yuan Fang's worried look, and comforted: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, that kid won't die if he has a big life, and if he were a short-lived ghost, he would have hung up by now." Yuan Fang exhaled, took out the dry food he brought, and stuck his nest head on a branch and stretched it out to the bonfire.

Not far away, there was an exclamation from the female soldiers, and Yuan Fang stood up violently and strode forward: "What's wrong?" What happened? ”

A large group of people rushed from all directions when they heard the sound, Yuan Fang was almost the first to arrive at the place of the incident, the war knife in his hand was already out of the sheath, he glanced at the surrounding environment, did not find any wild beasts, his eyes fell on the pale face of the female soldier, and then, seeing the wound on the female soldier's wrist, two points of red.

Yuan Fang was shocked, this was a wound from a snake bite, and hurriedly went over to check, the blood squeezed out was bright red, and there was no sign of poisoning, but the female soldier's face was a little terrifying, and Yuan Fang didn't dare to carelessly lean over to suck the wound.

Sang Rou and Jieyue were on guard all around, looking for the poisonous snake that had bitten people, and after a while, under the guidance of the female soldiers, they found the murderer who injured people in the tree hole. This is a very ordinary python, with blue-black scales, almost two meters long, and it took Yu Jingqiu and Lin Menghan a lot of effort to get it out of the tree hole.

Beside the bonfire, Guan Xiaoyun was roasting a section of pythons, whistling with indescribable satisfaction. Sang Rou glared at Guan Xiaoyun, looked at the snake meat that was roasted by the bonfire and couldn't help but look away, women generally hate snakes that can't slip out of catfish-like creatures, Sang Rou and they are no exception, no one is interested in this thing if there are conditions, Yuan Fang, I don't know how many mice this python has eaten before, and I lack appetite, so a whole python is cheaper Guan Xiaoyun, a foodie.

Guan Xiaoyun and his brother Guan Xiaofeng used to be hunters in Senshan for a few years, and they didn't dislike this thing at all, and they liked it very much, snake meat was delicious, it could strengthen nerves, dispel wind and dampness, invigorate blood and remove stasis, reduce swelling and relieve pain, detoxification and cleansing, and it can be said that it is the top grade in the ingredients.

There was a noise from the depths of the woods, Yuan Fang frowned and looked in the direction where the sound came from, in the dark night, a large firelight flickered: "On fire?" Yu Jingqiu shook his head: "No, there should be a large group of people coming." ”

Huo Bingyan looked around and ordered, "Be on guard." ”

Hearing this, the female soldiers got up one after another, and set up a defensive formation around Yuan Fang and others, with shields in front and crossbow arrows behind, and a few hands and feet quickly ran to the distance and inserted a few torches on the ground to illuminate. This is the hinterland of the Eastern Sage Empire, not very far from the empire, it stands to reason that there can be no enemy army, but it is impossible to be unguarded. As soon as Yuan Fang's side was ready to meet the enemy, a few war horses came slowly, and they identified themselves from afar, and as expected, the person who came was the cavalry under Ren Chang.

Seeing Yuan Fang, the two cavalrymen were overjoyed, and hurriedly turned over and dismounted to salute. Yuan Fang waved his hand and asked, "Why are you back?" ”

The cavalry replied, "General Yuan, we have found Lin Mengsheng." ”

Yuan Fang was stunned for a moment, and then asked very worriedly: "Found it?" He, how is he? The cavalry scratched his head in confusion.

Yu Jingqiu asked impatiently: "Is Lin Mengsheng dead or alive?" ”

The cavalry suddenly said, "Oh, it's still alive, but." ”

Yuan Fang said anxiously: "But what? You can make it clear. ”

The cavalry replied: "Lin Mengsheng's current state is not very good, he was already dying when we found him, General Yuan, you can help quickly." There was no nonsense, Yuan Fang and the accompanying military doctor strode over.

Lin Mengsheng, who was lying on the stretcher, looked quite miserable, his face was haggard, his face was full of dirt, and his clothes were almost strips of cloth, as if a refugee fleeing the famine had been robbed by bandits on the road.

Yuan Fang asked while inspecting, "Where did you find him?" ”

The commander replied: "It's near a stone stone more than ten miles away, that place is full of huge bluestones, and it's full of vines, it's difficult for ordinary people to go up, Lin Mengsheng is there, so, so the people in front missed it." ”

Yuan Fang had already checked Lin Mengsheng's signs of life, he was very weak, but fortunately, there were no major injuries, only some skin abrasions. After a little water, Lin Mengsheng was still unconscious, and Yuan Fang had to have someone carry Lin Mengsheng to his camp on a stretcher. Lin Mengsheng found this living treasure, found that his cavalry troops were scattered, and notified the various search teams to return, while Yuan Fang and them stayed in the camp, preparing to wait for dawn to return.
