The more Master Cheng thought about it, the happier he felt. Therefore, he didn't mind Jiang Yao urging the driver to speed up.
Old Master Liang and Liang Yueze weren't as relaxed as Master Cheng. To them, Lu Xingzhi was like a grandson and a brother. All the soldiers in the mountain had been sent out. The entire mountain had been turned upside down. Other than the bodies of soldiers who had been dead for many days, no other living people were found.
Moe lay on Liang Yueze's shoulder. His cat face was scrunched up.
Lu Xingzhi's scent was very faint in the mountain, but it couldn't find his scent outside those run-down houses.
The strongest smell in the mountain was the smell of animal feces, followed by the smell of rotting corpses. There were many dead people buried in the mountain. There was also an empty burial platform. Many vultures were pecking at the corpses of the local ethnic minorities.
Some ethnic groups here believed that the vultures could bring the souls of the dead to heaven after swallowing them.
Moe raised his paw and touched his nose. The smell of the mountain made him feel uncomfortable.
"Leave a team and the herdsmen to continue searching the mountain. If we can't find Lu Xingzhi, we have to bring the soldiers who died here back to their hometown. Let their souls return to their hometown, and let them return to their roots. We don't want them to become a lonely mound without a tombstone. We don't even know when a wild beast dug up their graves."
Old Master Liang's body swayed. Fortunately, Liang Yueze reacted quickly and supported Old Master Liang in time. "Let's go down the mountain and continue searching."
"In short …" Old Master Liang nodded. If he was alive, he wanted to see the person. If he was dead, he wanted to see the corpse.
At this moment, someone suddenly ran in with a jacket and said, "Old General Liang, we found a jacket. We found Young Master Lu's watch inside."
"Let me see!" Liang Yueze quickly walked over and took the jacket and the watch. The jacket was an ordinary combat uniform, but the watch could prove its owner.
Lu Xingzhi's initials were engraved on the back of the watch. Liang Yueze and the other Wu brothers each had one of these watches. It was custom-made by an old master who made watches that Lao Wu met when he was studying design abroad. When Lao Wu returned to China after graduation, he brought it back as a gift for them.
Liang Yueze wiped the blood off the watch and put it into his pocket. He nodded at Old Liang and said, "It's Third Brother's watch." After that, he asked the warrior, "Where did you find it?"
"It's a very hidden path. The clothes were buried in the soil. Maybe because they were buried in a hurry, a corner of the clothes was exposed, so our warriors found it. The path leads down the mountain, and there are faint bloodstains on the road," the warrior said.
"Looks like he has left the mountain." Old Master Liang looked at the blood on his clothes and said, "He's lost so much blood. His injuries aren't light, so it's unlikely that he escaped by himself."
The fabric of the clothes was almost stiff. It was obvious how much blood was stained in the clothes.
"Follow that path and chase him down," Liang Yueze ordered. Then, he told the news to Master Cheng, who was in the town.
Master Cheng was in the car when he received the news. Jiang Yao was close, so she heard the content of Master Cheng's phone call clearly. After Master Cheng hung up the phone, before he could say anything, Jiang Yao said directly, "Go down the mountain and take a look."
