Back at the camp, Murong Mian asked Cao Tianming to bring the nearby topographic map, sat alone in front of the desk and watched quietly for a while, in the afterglow, Bai Qianfan sat on the other side, with his back to him, he didn't know what he was messing with, he was a little curious, walked around the table and walked behind her, and found that she was cutting branches with a knife.

"What are you doing with this?"

Bai Qianfan didn't raise his head, "I'll find someone to make a few traps in the nearby mountains to see if I can stop the blind bear, it's not a matter for the old man to come down the mountain to harm the people." ”

Murong Mian smiled hoarsely, "Yo, the queen really has the world in mind!" ”

Bai Qianfan glanced at him, "What you said is good, the emperor will go in person." ”

Murong Mian took the knife in her hand and said, "Don't get it, you don't need to make a trap, I suspect that it is not the blind bear who came down the mountain." ”

Bai Qianfan was taken aback, "It's not a blind bear, what is that, King of the Mountain?" ”

Murong Mian shook his head, "I don't know, but I don't think it's a blind bear." He sat down next to her, "I have spent my youth in the north, and I know that the blind bear will find a cave to sleep in the winter, and will wake up when the spring flowers are blooming, and there are those who wake up halfway, and who cannot find anything to eat, and will go down the mountain, but easily without hurting others." The blind bear here is strange as to why he came down before the heavy snow closed the mountain. Bears are omnivores, mostly eat grass leaves, buds and stems, as long as there is food on the mountain, it will not go down the mountain easily, which is not in line with its habits. Besides, it's rare for a blind bear to eat people. ”

"What does the emperor suspect?"

"I think there's something strange about this," Murong Mian stood up and pointed to the topographical map spread out on the table, "There are a few villages near here, and I want to go and see them." ”

"Okay, I'll go with the emperor," Bai Qianfan put the knife away in his boots, stuffed the sleeve dart into the sleeve, wrapped the soft whip around his waist, looked left and right, and then hung a sword on his waist, like a chivalrous woman who was going to walk the rivers and lakes.

Murong Mian was a little amused, and took off her sword and soft whip, "Let's go into the village, not up the mountain, there is no bear blind, don't be nervous." ”

Bai Qianfan said, "I am the deputy staff general, and I have to protect the emperor." ”

Murong Mian sneered, "Be careful to let Thirteen hear it, he should be embarrassed." ”

Bai Qianfan also knew that he was a little overbearing, so he smiled and went out with him.

Cao Tianming didn't understand why the emperor was not in a hurry to march and wanted to go to a nearby village to take a walk. Thinking about it, the emperor probably wants to do something romantic with the queen's mother, take a look at the scenery here, but in the winter, there is a depression, what is there to see?

He wanted to send someone to escort him, but the emperor refused to let him, so he took five guards, still two bright and three dark, pretending to be a passing merchant, and rode into a village.

Seeing a stranger come in, the villagers watched from a distance, and saw that the person immediately looked noble, and they didn't dare to come around, Murong Mian found an excuse to ask for water to drink, chatted with people, and talked about the bear blind man coming down the mountain without saying a word, the villagers here are the same as Dou'er's grandfather, they are very afraid of the bear blind man, and told Murong Mian that there are people in their village who are patted on the shoulder by the bear blind man every year, mostly women and children, and a few middle-aged men, and also warned them to be careful of the bear blind man at night, if there is something on the shoulder, Don't look back, the blind bear will have a charming mind and shoot people to the mountains to eat.

Murong Mian asked, "Since the blind bear comes out every year to harm people, why don't you report to the official and let the officers and soldiers go up the mountain to kill the bear." ”

The villagers said, "The government has also sent people up the mountain, looking for more than a month, but nothing has been found, this radius of hundreds of miles, the mountains and forests are big, it is really difficult to find, can not be found, the government is not in a rut, in winter, the bear blind man still comes out to scourge." ”

"Has the village around here ever suffered?"

"They have all suffered, no one has been spared, every year is like this, everyone is used to it, so you can only be careful, don't let the women and children in the family go out, let alone be alone, as long as you are single, you will definitely be photographed away."

Murong Mian looked at the rolling peaks in the distance and said, "The nearby villages have suffered, and it seems that there are a lot of blind bears here." ”

"There are always several," said the villager, "and one winter, all three villages lost people on the same day." ”

"It also came down before the heavy snow closed the mountain?"

"Yes, they all come down before the heavy snow covers the mountain, and when the snow falls on the mountain, the village will be safe, not to mention people, not even livestock."

Murong Mian asked, "Have the animals been thrown away with the people?" ”

The villager nodded, "Yes, too." ”

Murong Mian said, "A blind bear can't get so many things, right? ”

The villagers thought for a while, "Maybe they came together, and they worked together." ”

Bai Qianfan couldn't help laughing, "This blind bear still knows how to divide labor and cooperate, and he is smarter than everyone." ”

Murong Mian asked again, "Has anyone ever seen a blind bear?" ”

The villager shook his head, and his tone was the same as that of Grandpa Dou'er, "Everything I've seen has gone into the belly of the blind bear." ”

"Since no one has ever seen a blind bear, why is it that the blind bear has taken the person away?"

The villagers were stunned for a moment, "Except for the blind bear, who else can shoot people away?" This has been rumored for decades, and I have had it since I was a child, and I can't be wrong. ”

Murong Mian, "......" seems to think that the bear is blind, but whoever loses someone will find the bear blind to take the blame.

"Is there any evidence that the blind bear has come down the mountain?"

The villager squinted his eyes and thought for a long time, and suddenly slapped his thigh, "I remember, I have seen a blind bear, it was more than 20 years ago, the blind bear came down the mountain, and before he reached the foot of the mountain, he was bombarded back to the mountain by the guys." ”

"What did you see with your own eyes? What time is it? ”

"In the evening, it was just dark," the villager pointed to the mountain beam not far away, "the bear blind man is there, so tall, so strong, walking slowly, someone saw it, knocked on the basin and shouted loudly, the guy ran out, and as soon as it was a random bombardment, it was blown away, but the next night someone disappeared, it was a woman, everyone said that it was taken away by a blind bear, and this happened every year, and most of the missing were women and children," he kindly suggested, "The lord should hurry up to the town to find a home inn to rest, Don't rush at night, although a few of them are gentlemen, you still have to be careful, it's not like the blind bear hasn't photographed men. ”

Murong Mian was silent for a while, and said, "The blind bear only comes down the mountain in winter, right?" Have you ever lost anyone in the village at any other time? ”

The villagers sighed, "There are not only blind bears in our mountain forest, but also mountain kings, and there are many people who have lost their lives in the forest." ”

"Is there anyone looking for a corpse?"

"It's been eaten, and there are no corpses, and it's good to be able to find a shoe."

"Have you ever counted how many people have been lost over the years?"

The villagers shook their heads, "Who counts that, year by year, how can you remember!" ”

Murong Mian asked again about the robbery of the Mengda army in Chisha City.

The villagers said, "This matter has spread all over the country, but Chisha is away from us here Chengzi Road, I didn't see it with my own eyes, how many people were robbed, no one can tell, anyway, it was robbed, and the robbed people were left with the old man and his mother-in-law sitting at the door crying and complaining, but unfortunately the garrison arrived to no avail, and the Mengda army ran away early." ”

"Nothing like this has happened before?"

"There is a robbery of food, and the Tartar soldiers, like the blind bears, come to harm from time to time, but this is the first time to rob people."

Murong Mian touched his chin and looked thoughtfully at the mountains in the distance, his eyes long.

The story has unfolded, and the emperor and queen have no time to fall in love, and they have to do serious things.
