Transmigrating To Ancient Times With A Kitchen-Chapter 70 - 70 Traces
70 Traces
Ming Zhiyan lightly gestured, “Look at the shadow under the wall.”
“Huh?” Jian Qingqing was puzzled and followed his gaze.
It was still early, and the shadow of the house was slightly facing east, forming a small shadow under the wall.
There was nothing wrong with it.
!!
No, why was there a shadow under the house?
Jian Qingqing walked over quickly and found a slightly dented ditch between the house and the wall. The shadow of the house fell into the ditch, and from afar, one would not be able to see it.
This ditch was very narrow and could only accommodate one person. At this moment, a few messy footsteps appeared on the wet mud surface of the ditch!
Ming Zhiyan looked down at the footsteps on the ground and slightly raised his head to take a few pieces off the rough wall.
Jian Qingqing asked with a trembling mouth, “Are… are these the footprints of Xiao Hu and Xiao Ye?” ƒ𝔯𝗲𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oѵℯl.𝒄𝑜m
Ming Zhiyan glanced at her, she said, “These footprints are still very fresh. It looks like they haven’t been formed for long. There are also a few on the wall. It is speculated that someone climbed over the wall from here. The largest of these footprints is that of an adult man. It weighs about 100 catties. The remaining two are around 70 catties and 50 catties respectively.”
...
It matched Xiao Hu and Xiao Ye’s weight. They had measured their weight a few days ago.
However, who was that adult male? Why would Xiao Hu and Xiao Ye climb the wall with him?
Ming Zhiyan was slightly pumped up, he quickly climbed up the wall with both hands and extended a hand towards Jian Qingqing. “Let’s go. What happened? Let’s go and investigate.”
Jian Qingqing looked at him in a daze. How could he climb up such a tall wall so easily?
She collected her thoughts and placed her hand in his. The next second, she felt her wrist being grabbed and her entire body being lifted up.
Before she could react, she was standing on top of the wall.
Jian Qingqing silently struggled her hand out and secretly swore that she would eat more to grow taller and fatter!
Ming Zhiyan did not care. He jumped down from the wall alone. “Let’s go. They shouldn’t have gone far.”
Jian Qingqing also jumped down. The ground here was much higher than the other side, so she could easily jump down.
This should be the outskirts of the county. The ground was full of weeds. At this moment, they could see some traces where the grass had been stepped on. Jian Qingqing and Ming Zhiyan followed this path and chased after them.
…
...
In a dark and shabby thatched cottage in the countryside, two men were cursing. Xiao Hu endured the pain and tried to open his eyes from the darkness. Unexpectedly, he was kicked. He grunted.
The two men did not realize that he had woken up. The man who kicked Xiao Hu had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, he spat angrily. “Ergou, what do you think we should do now that we’ve captured them? There are people looking for them everywhere outside. Who knew that wretched girl would react so quickly? If we hadn’t taken the small path, we would have long been discovered by them!”
The man known as Ergou had a sinister look on his face. After a moment of silence, he said, “Brother, go and contact someone. We’ll sell them as soon as possible.”
Hearing this, the Dagou was shocked. “Are we really going to sell them? Didn’t we say that we captured these two boys and threatened that wretched girl to hand over the recipe? If we sell them, we won’t be able to sell them for much money.”
Ergou kicked the stool fiercely, and the originally broken stool immediately shattered into pieces.
He roared angrily, “Then what do you think we should do!? That wretched girl realized that they had disappeared and called so many people to look for them. She even called the officials. Sooner or later, they would find us here. If we don’t get them out as soon as possible, we would be the ones who will die! If there’s no one here, so what if they find this place? No one will know that we caught them.”
