1252 Chapter 1252-seeing people again

Gu Xin pointed somewhere,’second white, is that a human figure? I saw him come out of the cave. Let’s go, let’s catch up!”

This time, second white also saw it clearly. It was indeed a person, but it was a little far away. Also, the horses in the forest were not moving so smoothly.

However, he did not refute Gu Xin. He followed Gu Xin on her horse to the forest and chased after her.

Two hours later, Gu Xin and second white lost their way in the forest. They had long since disappeared.

Gu Xin took out a bamboo tube from her bag and threw it to second white.

This was her habit. She would carry two buckets of water when she went out and put them in a bamboo tube every night.

Second white took it and drank it all. He wiped his mouth and asked, ” “Third young lady, are we still going to chase? This forest is getting deeper and deeper, I’m afraid that person would have already escaped.”

Gu Xin finished the water and took a deep breath, ” “I miscalculated, I should’ve brought more people. If they took a few people and walked around the mountain, they might be able to meet. When I turned my head just now, that person really did come out of the cave.”

Second White’s face was serious. This was a serious matter.

Lord Gu had been in office for more than a year. Since the first month of last year, when his manpower was gradually sufficient, he began to plan for people to travel around the territory. As long as there was a place where people lived, it would be recorded.

There was no sign of human habitation within a radius of five hundred li of this cave. Third young lady had seen someone twice. Where did this person come from and what was his purpose in this cave?

Since they couldn’t catch up to them, Gu Xin and second white could only look for a way back.

The forest was overgrown with weeds. Other than the traces of animal activity, there was no obvious path. They had been chasing people in the forest for two hours, and now the only way back was to find the traces that they had left when they came.

Fortunately, Gu Xin was careful and would make a mark after walking for a while so that she could return to the place where they had tied the horses.

After walking out of the forest, Gu Xin looked up at the sky. It was almost noon and the sun was just right.

She then looked at the cave and pursed her lips. “Second white, let’s go and see the cave again!”

Even though they had thoroughly checked the cave yesterday and there was no danger, second white was still worried about someone who had just come out from there.

If the third young lady was injured, he would be in trouble.

Gu Xin took out a small bamboo tube from her pocket and handed it to second white, ” “I’ve improved this poison based on several of grandma Xiao’s poisons. We’re not afraid of humans or animals when we hold it in our hands. It’s not like we don’t know the exact appearance of that cave. We stayed there for so long yesterday.”

Seeing that she had made up her mind, second white did not try to persuade her.

The two of them placed the bamboo pipe where it was most convenient for them. Second white walked in front with his sword, while Gu Xin walked behind with her dagger.

Since she was only going to send Lu Zheng off, Gu Xin only had the dagger tied to her leg with her.

They entered the cave safe and sound, but the stone in their hearts could not be put down.

This cave was different from yesterday.

In addition to the water jar, there were dried grass, wet grass, scattered all around. It was as if someone was playing a prank by soaking the dried grass in the pool and then taking it out to throw around.

Gu Xin thought for a moment and said, ” second white, guard the entrance of the cave. I’ll go back and tell uncle Peng. He’ll send his men over immediately. This scene made me feel that someone was deliberately trying to hide something. They’re in the dark while we’re out in the open. We don’t have many people, so we can’t take any risks.”
