A comprehensive overview of tombs: starting with the Yellow Weasel's Tomb

Bai Jing didn't dare to delay and immediately ran towards higher ground. He wanted to see what had happened and why he had this feeling.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Jing saw that all the horses in the distant horse pen were now restless.

Then, first one horse crashed into the fence of the stable, and then more and more horses, until finally, all the horses ran out of the stable.

Upon seeing this scene, Bai Jing was stunned.

He remembered that in the original timeline, it was the weasel that caused the horses to scatter.

But now that the weasel has no grudge against them, why would it do such a thing?

Unable to figure it out, Bai Jing decided to stop thinking about it for the time being and quickly headed towards the tent.

Right now, we should prioritize ensuring everyone's safety.

When Bai Jing arrived at the tent, he found Hu Bayi, Wang Pangzi, Yanzi, and Ding Sitian inside.

Meanwhile, Fatty Wang and Hu Bayi were getting dressed.

Fatty and Hu Bayi both knew that Bai Jing had a habit of exercising in the morning, so they weren't surprised to see him return from outside. However, they still asked, "Old Bai, what's going on? Xiao Ding and the others just came over and said that Old Sheepskin's horses have been involved in a massacre."

Bai Jing nodded seriously and said, "That's right, I don't know what happened either. I was doing my morning exercise when I suddenly felt the ground shaking. I ran up to a higher place and saw that the horses in the stable had all run out of the stable for no reason."

Then Bai Jing looked at the group, sized them up, and asked, "Are they all alright?"

As Hu Bayi put on his clothes, he replied, "We're fine, but we haven't seen Huamei and the others yet, and we don't know how they are doing."

Upon hearing this, Ding Sitian quickly replied, "Yanzi and I were making breakfast when Grandpa Yang's horses suddenly started running wild. We rushed over to find you and didn't have time to check on the others."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jing frowned and then said, "Let's go to the horse pen first and see what's going on."

The group agreed with Bai Jing's suggestion and then left the tent, running towards the horse pen.

When Bai Jing and the others arrived, Old Sheepskin and several herdsmen had already reached the horse pen and were apparently investigating the cause. When the group arrived, they saw Old Sheepskin frowning as he looked at the bolt in his hand.

The rope.

The rope was broken in two, and the cut looked clean and flat, clearly cut by a sharp blade or something similar, definitely by human hands.

Immediately afterwards, several people wearing military overcoats arrived, who appeared to be leaders of the ranch.

These people looked very capable. After receiving the intelligence report, they determined that it was definitely deliberate and then ordered the ranch staff to investigate.

But at that moment, a voice rang out.

"Who saw my dad?"

Upon hearing this sound, everyone turned their gaze behind them, and there stood the thrush.

Bai Jing asked, "I saw Grandpa Qiaoshan riding his horse westward when I was doing my morning exercise this morning. What happened?"

As soon as Bai Jing spoke, a ranch officer ran over and reported to the leader: "After investigation, we found that one riding horse and one hunting rifle are missing. After checking the personnel, the old man who just arrived yesterday is gone."

Well, it's obvious without even thinking that Sun Qiaoshan must have gone to find the Hundred-Eyed Cave.

Upon hearing this, the ranch cadre pondered for a moment before making a firm decision: "We can't worry about that now. The most important thing right now is to find the horses. The Revolutionary Committee recently called on all pastoral areas to learn from us. We absolutely cannot afford any mistakes at this critical juncture."

At this point, the ranch leader's face clearly grew increasingly grim. He continued, "If that happens, our ranch will definitely become a negative example, a laughing stock in the entire region, and everyone will be punished. The most urgent thing is to find the horses!"

Bai Jing could tell that this leader was quite responsible, as he grasped the main contradiction and temporarily ignored the secondary ones.

The main issue now is to find the horse first; we can deal with the rest later.

Bai Jing immediately said, "Sir, leave this to us. There won't be any problem. I saw the direction the horses ran in, and I'm sure we can catch up with them."

Upon hearing Bai Jing's words, the leader did not relax his brows, but instead looked at Bai Jing with some disbelief.

“We’re on the border once we cross the Gobi Desert. If these horses run into Outer Mongolia, it won’t be easy to find them again.”

Ding Sitian then spoke up.

"They won't run to Outer Mongolia. Further north is desert, where the horses have nothing to eat, so they won't go there. The horses will only linger in places with abundant water and grass."

Ding Sitian had been herding horses for half a year and had become very familiar with their habits.

Upon hearing this, another leader said with concern, "What if we encounter a pack of wolves?"

Bai Jing waved his hand and said, "It's alright. Horses are not sheep, especially thousands of them. Ordinary wolves wouldn't dare to attack. Besides, even if we encounter wolves, we're not afraid. Give us a few hunting rifles, and we'll shoot down as many wolves as they come."

Bai Jing's words were so resolute that the leader was clearly persuaded.

Immediately, the leader seemed to have made up his mind and said, "Alright, go and get your guns and enough bullets later. If you can bring the horses back safely, I will personally recommend you to the higher-ups for commendation."

Bai Jing smiled when he heard this.

Following this, the Horse-Finding Team was established.

Team members: Bai Jing, Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan, Yanzi, Ding Sitian, Huamei, and Lao Yangpi, a total of seven people.

Now that everyone is here, let's get started.

Chapter 48 Farewell to the Fenfeng

First, everyone began preparing their own supplies.

At the same time, Bai Jing also borrowed a hunting knife from the herdsmen for self-defense.

Actually, a hunting knife is a short knife, somewhat like a dagger.

It wasn't that Bai Jing didn't know how to use or didn't want to use a longsword, but rather that there weren't any decent longswords available here.

The longswords here are mostly curved, which Bai Jing wasn't very good at using, so he had to settle for a hunting knife instead.

Soon, everyone had prepared their food and supplies and were ready to set off.

It's still winter in Kerenzuo Banner. Everywhere you look, there's yellow grass and white snow, not a trace of green in sight. Naturally, it has nothing to do with the vast, boundless grasslands that everyone imagines, where the wind blows across the grass and you see cattle and sheep.

By the time Bai Jing and the others had finished preparing, it was already mid-morning.

The ranch provided three hunting rifles to the group of people.

After discussion, it was decided that Old Sheepskin and Thrush would each receive one of the three hunting rifles, since both of them were excellent hunters.

The last one was given to Fatty Wang.

Although Fatty Wang is useless at everything and eats everything, his marksmanship is exceptional.

After the hunting rifles were distributed, the group rode away from the ranch.

At this time, the grass on the ground was very short, so the traces of a large number of horses passing by would be very obvious.

The group immediately followed the tracks left by the horses.

As the group drew closer to the depths of the grassland, the ground was gradually covered with snow. According to Ding Sitian, the grassland had also experienced a heavy snowfall some time ago, but due to the previous 'Foehn wind,' the snow in the pastures had mostly melted.

As the group ventured deeper, they saw snow again.

At this moment, the group arrived at a raised snow-capped mountain, and then they were surprised to find that the herd of horses had suddenly stopped here, as if they had evaporated into thin air.

The group immediately dismounted to check the situation and discovered that the hoofprints on the snow were messy and disorderly, and the yellow-green grass covered by the snow also showed signs of being eaten.

All signs indicate that after the herd of horses ran to this place, they seemed to have recovered from their state of panic and started looking for food.

But for some reason, the entire herd of horses has now vanished into thin air.

Moreover, what kind of force could so easily abduct such a large herd of horses?

Just as everyone was wondering what was going on, Old Sheepskin suddenly knelt down on the ground.

Seeing this, the fat man quickly stepped forward and asked, "Grandpa Sheepskin, Old Bai and Old Hu haven't even spoken yet, why are you kneeling on the ground?"

Hu Bayi glanced around and then took out a compass from his worn-out military backpack, seemingly wanting to determine his current location.

But the next moment, Hu Bayi was surprised to find that the compass needle was spinning rapidly, and as time went on, even the horses that the group had ridden were restless, as if they had sensed something terrifying.

At this moment, Bai Jing's innate senses also erupted.

Without thinking twice, Bai Jing immediately shouted, "Get out of here quickly, it's dangerous!"

Others

Upon hearing this, they immediately realized what was happening and mounted their horses.

Swallow, who had just mounted her horse, suddenly cried out, "Ah, what's wrong with my ears?"

At the same time, Bai Jing could see that Yanzi seemed to be in a daze, and even almost fell off her horse.

Bai Jing dared not delay and immediately shouted, "Go! Go!"

Bai Jing's voice was loud, instantly waking everyone up.

Immediately, everyone cracked their whips, sending the horses galloping at breakneck speed.

The horses seemed to sense the danger as well, and without anyone having to exert any effort, they carried everyone away at breakneck speed.

They had only run a mile or two when they heard the whooshing sound of wind behind them.

Bai Jing knew that the Fenfeng wind had started blowing again.

Fortunately, they ran a short distance before finding a ditch. They immediately took cover in the ditch. The next moment, the raging wind arrived at their location. With the howling wind, it swept the swallow high into the air. Luckily, Old Sheepskin reacted quickly and grabbed the swallow, preventing it from being blown away by the wind.

Immediately afterwards, the thrush was also swept into the sky by the strong wind, but fortunately Hu Bayi happened to be nearby and caught it.

Seeing this, Bai Jing quickly stepped forward and grabbed Lao Yangpi and Hu Bayi. Then, he used the Thousand-Pound Drop technique, causing himself to fall to the ground like a nail.

However, as the wind grew stronger, Bai Jing could only hold onto Hu Bayi with his right hand and Lao Yangpi with his other hand, while the others held onto Bai Jing.
