The cold night wind kept waving the withered artemisia on the river beach, and the remaining dead leaves on the shrubs rustled in the middle of the night, and there was silence everywhere.

After a while, Xiaoyu poked his head out of the bushes and waved to them from afar. Fugui and others quietly crossed the bushes and saw Xiaoyu searching a body lying on the ground. Seeing them, Xiaoyu handed a pistol to Liming: "He only has this, nothing else to find."

Liming pointed to the curved path and said, "Chasing, you must not let him run away."

However, when they crossed the ridge, the path had disappeared, and only the barren weeds trembled in the cold wind. They squatted on the ground and looked for their target alertly, but, except for the sound of the cold wind blew the weeds, there was silence everywhere.

After searching to the foot of the mountain, there was an open land. The snow on the ground had melted, and only a shrub was swaying in the dark. The ground was covered with dry fallen leaves, and it made a "whirring" sound when stepped on it.

Fugui couldn't help but sigh inwardly: If the snow did not melt, no matter how alert the person was, he would leave traces that could be traced. But at this moment, the person seemed to have evaporated here, leaving no trace.

Fugui looked up at the treetops, and the dark sky was still shining with a cold light.

Suddenly, a shrill cry of wild birds broke the tranquility of the night.

"You see." Jin Hui, who was searching on the mountainside, made a surprise voice.

The comrades quickly surrounded him. Jinhui looked at a bush with concentration, turned around and said, "There are subtle cracks at the root of this bush, and must have been pulled hard by someone."

Fugui looked at the surrounding terrain. It was a relatively steep hillside. If people climbed up, they would definitely hold the shrubs to save effort. He carefully touched the cracks, the new ones, and it seemed that they had just been dragged by someone.

Liming looked up at the dark mountains and said, "The soil here is soft, don't be alert to the snake. We are rich and noble, you and Xin Yi climb up the ridge and we will climb over the mountains. Everyone must be careful."

Although the ridge is flat, the mountain is very high. When they climb to the top of the mountain panting, everyone was already sweating profusely.

Fugui wiped his sweat and lay on the top of the mountain to observe. When the cold wind blew, the sweaty clothes were like thin ice, and the heart-wrenching coldness. The surroundings were blurred under the moonlight, and the subtle things could not be identified at all. Only the dark mountains stood in the night.

"What is that? It seems to be a cave." Xin Yilie there, holding a gun and pointing at some black dots on the opposite mountainside.

Fugui raised his gun and through the sight, he saw that there were indeed many dark holes arranged on the opposite mountain. Under the pale moonlight, he stared at them fiercely like pairs of hideous eyes.

Xin Yi put down his gun and whispered: "It's a cave, but unfortunately I can't see the mountain under our feet. Do you still remember that poem: I don't know the true face of Mount Lu, because I am in this mountain. I now understand the meaning of this poem."

Fugui smiled: "I pretended to be a literati in front of me..." Suddenly he remembered something and said: "Not right!"

Xin Yi also jumped up: "Those caves are dangerous!"

At this moment, I heard a few crisp gunshots coming from the mountainside.

Fugui and Xin rushed down the mountain, and saw their comrades surrounding a cave. Dawn and Jinhui hid at the entrance of the cave and kept shooting into the cave.

Fugui crawled over the bush. As soon as he reached the entrance of the cave, he shot a few bullets from inside, hitting the hard stone wall at the entrance of the cave, and shining stars emerged in the darkness.

Liming shouted at Fugui who approached: "Fugui, look at it, are you sure to knock out the people inside?"

Fugui rolled on the spot and happened to climb onto the corridor at the entrance of the cave, but it was too dark inside and there was no one to see. He shook his head and said, "It's too dark to see clearly."

Jin Hui thought for a while and said, "I'll help you, you're ready to aim." After that, he fired a shuttle inside, which might have hit the stone wall, and the echoes coming were also dull. But at this moment, a flash of fire flashed inside, followed by the sound of bullets hitting the stone wall. Fugui groped and fired a shot at the flames. The gunshot inside suddenly stopped, and then there was a silence.

"Hit hit?" asked Li Ming.

Fugui shook his head and said, "I don't know. It's too dark inside."

Liming changed the magazine and whispered to Yang Aiguo: "You go to another cave to see it, don't let them run away from other cave entrances."
