Chapter 1177: Finally Found Human Habitation

Zhang Ming's words made everyone happy. Although Shi A was also very happy, he was not like the others. Instead, he asked Zhang Ming more cautiously about what he saw.

According to Zhang Ming, what he saw on the mountain should be that on the other side of the mountain, in a valley a few miles away, there was a small village with more than ten households, but what was there in the village? How many people there were and what the situation was in the village was still unknown. Zhang Ming asked another ranger to continue observing on the mountain, and he went down first to report to Shi A.

Upon hearing this, Shi A turned to look at Tian Zhe and said, "Chang Tian Qu, you and I will go to the top of the mountain to have a look. The rest of you will stay on guard and wait for my group to return before making arrangements!"

"Promise!" Everyone agreed in unison.

Shi A didn't care about the others, and under the leadership of Zhang Ming, he took three steps and two steps at a time, and quickly ran up the mountain. After a while, the group of people finally climbed up the mountain, only to see another ranger climbing up a big tree on the top of the mountain. When he saw a few people going up the mountain, he slipped down from the tree.

"General!"

"How's it going? Do you see any problem?"

"You can't tell. This is a small village with about ten families. They have cultivated a small field around the village. It seems that food has been planted in the field. You can vaguely see people working in the field, but I only saw about ten figures, and judging from the figures, there should be women and children..."

Shi'a nodded and looked in the direction they were pointing. Sure enough, there were about a dozen thatched houses scattered at the foot of a mountain a few miles ahead. There seemed to be a small stream at the foot of the mountain, and there was another stream beside it. There are some fields, and it can be seen that crops have been planted in the fields, which are now slightly green. Several figures can be vaguely seen working in the fields, but the figures inside do look like women. People and children.

The few people observed for a while, and suddenly saw a few more figures emerging from the creek at the foot of the mountain. Judging from their appearance, they should have come from the east of the mountain where the village was located. Then they heard vague cheers. Seeing this, Shi'a was basically sure that they were now at the boundary of Shangdang. It was estimated that this should be the westernmost village of the Hyun family.

Shi A made a visual inspection and found that the distance between the two peaks was about three or four miles. However, if they did not climb the mountain, they would have to go south around the peak at their feet, and then turn north to reach the opposite village. The mountain peaks, it seemed, were at least ten miles away.

After thinking about it, Shi Adao said: "Let's go down the mountain and camp here for the time being. At night, a few of us will go to the village to have a look. Zhang Ming, you two will continue to observe here and wait. I'll send someone to take your place next time."

"Promise." After hearing this, several people quickly agreed in a low voice, and then Shi A and Tian Zhe left the mountain, went down the mountain and returned to the resting place.

Seeing everyone looking at the four of them eagerly, Shi A smiled and said: "If my guess is correct, we should have arrived at the boundary of the Xu clan in Shangdang County. However, we are not sure yet. We will be around here tonight. Find a place to rest, and at night, send someone to the other side of the mountain to investigate again. "

"call!"

"Very good!"

When everyone heard this, they all lowered their voices and cheered. Seeing Shi An's serious eyes, they lowered their voices again. However, everyone's happiness is self-evident.

Everyone walked back for a while, and then found a slightly higher but relatively flat place in a mountain col, and cleaned up the surrounding area a little.

Then he spread out a felt blanket and sat down. Then he took out pieces of dry food from his carry-on package and ate the food slowly with the cold water in his kettle. New 81 Chinese website is updated the fastest. Mobile version: https:/

Now that there are people living several miles away, my group cannot light a fire today, and can only eat dry food and cold water. However, seeing that my group's mission is about to be completed, everyone does not care about this. I hope that the investigation tonight will help me determine where I am.

After everyone had dinner slowly, they lay there quietly. Seeing the sky getting darker and darker, Shi A and Tian Zhe led several rangers and soldiers to leave the camp and headed for Zhang Ming and the others. On top of the mountain where he is hiding.

Soon the group of people arrived at the mountain. Seeing several people coming up, Zhang Ming and the others quickly retreated to the west side of the mountain. Then the other three people came to the hiding place where Zhang Ming and the others were observing.

"How?" Shi A asked; ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм

At this time, curls of smoke were already rising in the village, and it seemed that preparations for dinner had begun.

"There are about fifty or sixty people in the village. Just now, another ten or so people came out of the mountains to the south. It seems that they should be hunters in the village..." Zhang Ming then introduced the two of himself to Shi A in detail. Some of the situations people just saw.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, Shi A looked at the sky and said, "Zhang Ming, you two should go back to the camp to rest. We will bring someone to change in the middle of the night. Remember, the camp must be well guarded. Qian Don't be careless. Tian Quchang and I went to the village in front to have a look. Fortunately, the weather was fine today. Although the moon was not big, it could still light up the road. It was just a little difficult to walk. We would be there at the latest. Will return at midnight.”

After hearing this, Zhang Ming and the other two returned to the place where everyone camped with one of the four people who had just come with Shi A, while Shi A and Tian Zhe quietly went down the mountain from the top of the mountain in the afterglow of the setting sun and headed towards the halfway point of the opposite mountain.

As the saying goes, a horse will die if it runs to the mountain. Although Shi A saw that the small village on the opposite halfway point was only three or five miles away from him from the mountain, when the two of them actually walked, they had already walked more than seven or eight miles down the mountain, and then there was another two or three miles between the two mountains, and then they had to climb another two or three miles halfway point. In addition, the two were not familiar with the road and walked at night, so when the two arrived at the village hundreds of steps away, it was almost the first watch.

At this time, most of the families in the village had fallen asleep, and only two families still had a dim oil lamp on. Shi A stood there, but found that he had no good way to enter the village to inquire about the news. In the end, he had no choice but to return with Tian Zhe without success.

When the two returned to the mountain where their soldiers were hiding, it was already past three o'clock in the morning. Zhang Ming had already led his men to take over the sentry duty in the first half of the night. After Shi A gave Zhang Ming some instructions, he and Tian Zhe returned to the place where everyone camped.
