Chapter 2 Finding the Trace
Chapter 2 Find Traces
After leaving Xinghe City, Zhou Cheng went south along Xinghe. Ten miles away, there was a dew-shui stone platform surrounded by weeds and short mountains. The second lady Su Yuexi liked to practice swords on it. Every time, she was the only one who was a personal guard to accompany her, so no one else knew about it.
Zhou Cheng was extremely anxious when he rode his horse.
He was an orphan and had no idea where his parents were. He was picked up from the mountains by an old worker from the Su family while fired firewood in the snow.
The servants of the Su family had to change their surname to Su, but the old worker had been working in the Su family for too many years. The master of the Su family mercied him and asked him to use his surname: Zhou.
Old man Zhou was lonely all his life, without children, and he picked up the baby and handed it over to Su Zhiwu for treatment. Seeing that Old man Zhou was lonely and pitiful, Su Zhiwu asked the child to follow his nature, Zhou, named it the word Cheng, which means inheriting the incense.
Less than a few days after Zhou Cheng was picked up, the two daughters of the Su family were born, and Su Zhiwu hired a nurse to take care of three children at the same time.
Although Zhou Cheng was a servant, he grew up with the two daughters of the Su family, just like a relative. Su Zhiwu treated him well, and even treated him almost as his nephew, so that Zhou Cheng and his two daughters could study literature and martial arts together.
However, although Zhou Cheng was smart, he was not very interested in learning such things. It was okay to practice martial arts. After practicing well, he could show off his power. He was talented and could easily learn it, but he refused to work hard to practice. So much so that Su Yuexi, who was practicing martial arts at the same time, was already in the innate level, while Zhou Cheng was still only at the peak of acquired realm.
As for literacy, it really cost him his life. It seems that he has no chance of being with this thing. Since he was a child, he cried when he saw the book. Su Zhiwu and Old Man Zhou were helpless and could only give up. Until now, Zhou Cheng knew no more than twenty words, two of which were his names.
When Su Yuexi taught him to write his name, she took a lot of effort and used all the coercion and temptation, but she could only barely write the character Zhou. The character Cheng was too complicated for him. The strokes were more difficult than even any martial arts taught by his master.
Fortunately, there is no way to go. He unexpectedly discovered that the word "Cheng" is the same pronunciation as "Cheng", and the strokes are much simpler, and it also has the meaning of success, which is also a good sign. Now he found a savior and coaxed and deceived him, and forced the old man Zhou, who was about to die, to agree to change his name to Zhou Cheng, so he finally learned to write his own name.
Zhou Cheng has a good relationship with the two ladies of the Su family. After all, they grew up together, especially with the second ladies Su Yuexi.
That was a lawless little bully, and Zhou Cheng was also a little bad guy who was a bastard.
The relationship between the two is more like that of a brother and sister than a brother and sister. One is the kind of person who wants to set fire and the other must add fuel to the fire. As for whether this behavior is right or not, it is never considered.
Now that Su Yuexi has truly run away from home, how can Zhou Cheng not be in a hurry?
That is the pearl in the Su family's hand, a daughter who once didn't know that the meat had to be cooked before she could be eaten. Who can rest assured if she was just like this?
Moreover, although Su Yuexi is extremely powerful and is already a master of the innate level, there are heavens beyond heaven and there are people beyond man.
Even the master said that the world is so big that there are all kinds of people. With his cultivation level, he is actually just a frog in the well. Innately, there are masters of Qi training, which are no longer comparable to ordinary martial arts masters. Moreover, there are legendary cultivators in this world, which are terrible existences that can destroy a country in every move.
Su Yuexi made a random mess in Xinghe City for a generation, but when she went outside, no one knew what chaos would happen to such a girl who was ignorant of the world.
Not everyone will accommodate her and dote on her. Once she meets a thief, it would be fine if she is an ordinary bandit. With the strength of the second lady, she can naturally pass it. But with her experience, if she meets some scheming old world, she may be sold and still helping people count the money.
With a quick whip, I soon arrived at the dew stone platform, but I didn't see Su Yuexi, which made Zhou Cheng's heart sank. Even this place was not here, and the last glimmer of hope was shattered.
The second lady who was troubled really left here. The world is so big, who knows where she went.
Zhou Cheng had no choice but to bet on his luck, so he found a direction at will and prepared to move forward. However, as soon as he walked out, he found a row of horseshoe prints on the ground leading to the distance.
Zhou Cheng turned over and got off the horse. After checking carefully, he was overjoyed. The horse's hoof print was different from the ordinary horse's hoof print. There was also a triangle mark behind the two hoof prints, which was the hoof print of the wind-chasing horse.
Wind-chasing horses are rare BMWs, which are very different from ordinary horses. They also have toes behind their four hooves, which are triangle-shaped. Master even said that this is wind-chasing toes, which are unique to wind-chasing horses.
Such a horse is rare. Only the Su family and the royal family have it in the Suyuan Kingdom. The horse hoof prints in front of me are still very new. There is no doubt that it was naturally left by the second lady.
Looking around, there were four discarded leather hoods, quite large, with horseshoes nailed to the bottom.
Zhou Cheng suddenly realized that no wonder even Master and the others didn't know where Su Yuexi had gone. She must have wrapped the four hooves of Zhuifeng with this leather case, and the footprints left in this way were similar to ordinary horses.
It seems that it has been a day or two for the second lady to plan to run away from home, and she doesn't even know about this leather case.
The wind-chasing horse is extremely fast, without the special horse hoof prints, how do people from the Su family know which direction Su Yuexi has gone?
At this time, the leather case was broken by Zhuifeng and had to be discarded, so Zhuifeng's own hoof prints were found.
Look at the direction of the horse's hoof prints, not towards the road to the sky, but running towards the mountains in the distance.
Yes, the second lady must have known that the Su family would send someone to chase her, so she deliberately put down the road and walked towards the forest. As long as she passes through this forest, she can reach other boundaries, stay away from the Su family, and enter the world where she thinks she is self-righteous.
Zhou Cheng thought to himself, and immediately followed the horse's hoof print and chased him wildly, and soon arrived in front of a mountain road.
A light yellow rag was hung on the bushes by the roadside, and Zhou Cheng grabbed the rag in his hand. This was from Su Yuexi's clothes. Such fabrics are not affordable for ordinary people. And everyone knows that the eldest lady of the Su family likes white, while the second lady likes yellow.
There is no doubt that Miss Second must have gone in.
Zhou Cheng rode his horse forward and was about to chase him in, but before he could approach the mountain road, the horse began to spin on the spot and refused to go in.
Zhou Cheng shrank his nose a few times and immediately gritted his teeth: "Damn it, it's a horse that broke his heart!"
A horse's heartbreak is a strange medicine that prevents the horse from getting close. It was once used on the battlefield to disrupt the enemy's cavalry formations to achieve victory. However, this thing is expensive and has few materials, so it cannot be bought with money.
Although this thing still exists now, it is surprisingly expensive and can no longer be used on a large scale.
However, as the uncrowned royal family, the Su family naturally had this thing. It played a big role in scattering it in front of the mountain road. Without the help of horses, it was simply impossible to catch up with Su Yuexi, who was chasing the wind.
This is troublesome.
