"Master Eight, there he is. Are you seeing things?”
Adjutant Zhang looked around but didn't see a single ghost. He looked at Qi Tie and asked in confusion.
"There really was someone. I saw him just now. He seemed to be an old man, but he disappeared in an instant.”Qi Tie said with certainty.
"Let's go over and take a look. Won't we know if there's anyone?”
Zhang Qishan also scanned the surroundings, but he didn't find anyone. However, he still chose to believe Qi Tiezui and chased in the direction of the railway.
After the three of them took a few steps, they saw an old man's figure in a corner of the grass, sneakily.
"Lord Eight, you really have good eyesight. There really is someone who even Lord Zeng and I didn't see.”Deputy Zhang looked at the figure that appeared in front of him and gave Qi Tie a thumbs up.
"Why would an old man appear in this wilderness? It was strange that he looked so flustered as if he was afraid of something.”Deputy Zhang said after a moment of silence.
"The spy from the Cherry Blossom Kingdom is dead, so our trail is broken. This old man seems to be familiar with the terrain here, so he should know something.”
Zhang Qishan was frustrated because the few agents from the Cherry Blossom Kingdom had committed suicide by swallowing poison, and the clues had been cut off.
Now that he had finally found a clue, he would definitely not give up.
After saying that, Zhang Qishan saw the old man disappear into the grass and followed him anxiously.
Zhang Qishan and the other two followed the footprints left by the old man. Soon, everyone returned to the town.
Seeing that the old man was nowhere to be seen, Zhang Qishan felt a little dejected. Qi Tiezui, who was at the side, said,"Lord Zeng, look, there's a pile of firewood here. When we first came out, there was nothing here.”
"Looks like that old man is quite familiar with this place. Perhaps we can get some information from him. We must find him. We can't let him leave just like that.”When Zhang Qishan heard Qi Tiexui's words, his originally dejected expression turned into a smile.
"Lord Zeng, I'll go search now."
Deputy Zhang said and was about to set off to search.
However, he was stopped by Qi Tie.
"There's no hurry. Lord Zeng, look. There's an axe in the firewood. It must be hidden here by that old man. This axe must be very important to that old man. Otherwise, he wouldn't have hidden it.”
Qi Tiezui walked in front of the firewood and rummaged through it. He saw an axe hidden inside and said.
Hearing this.
Zhang Qishan and Deputy Zhang also walked forward and saw the axe in the firewood.
"Old Eighth is right. This old man must be a woodcutter. This axe is what he uses to eat. Without an axe, how can he chop wood?”
Zhang Qishan pondered for a moment before coming to a conclusion.
"But if this old man doesn't come for the axe, then wouldn't we have waited in vain?”Deputy Zhang said.
Because that old man had hidden the axe in the firewood because he realized that someone was following him. Perhaps he was afraid and gave up the axe and wouldn't come?
If he waited for a few days before coming back, wouldn't they have to wait here for a few days as well?
This was what Deputy Zhang was worried about.
"Lord Zeng, Adjutant Zhang, please believe me, Lord Qi Ba. That old man will definitely come back for the axe later. If we go to him now, I'm afraid we will encounter some danger. After all, we are not familiar with this place and are afraid of falling into someone's trap.”Qi Tie said confidently.
"Then we'll listen to Lord Myna and wait. If the old man doesn't come back before dark, we'll go to the town and search.”Zhang Qishan saw that Qi Tie was so sure, so he could only agree.
Then, the three of them walked up the hillside and hid in the grass. They watched every move below and quietly waited for the old man to come back and take the axe.
Zhang Qishan and the others did not have to wait for long.
Soon, he saw the old man who was looking around sneakily.
Seeing that there was no one around, the old man flipped over the pile of firewood on the ground, picked up the axe, turned around, and hurried into the town.
When the old man disappeared from the town, Zhang Qishan and the other two walked out from the bushes.
Adjutant Zhang looked at Qi Tie with admiration and said,"Lord Myna, you really have a divine plan. This old man will really come back to get the axe as Lord Myna said.”
"This old man should be living nearby. A woodcutter without an axe is like a fish without water. Without an axe, how can he chop wood and live?”
Qi Tie patted Deputy Zhang's shoulder and said lightly.
"Impressive! As expected of Lord Myna. He could even guess this clearly. He was really impressed.”
"Then Lord Myna, what should we do next?”
Deputy Zhang asked.
"What else can we do? Follow him and ask him. This old man is so mysterious. He must know some secrets.”Before Qi Tie could speak, Zhang Qishan spoke.
After saying that, he walked straight into the town.
Qi Tiezui and Adjutant Zhang hurriedly followed after him.
Not long after, they finally saw the old man in front of a dilapidated house.
The old man sneakily glanced around. Seeing that no one was following him, he pushed the door open and walked in.
Zhang Qishan, Qi Tiezui and the other two followed. Zhang Qishan pushed open the door and everyone walked in.
