Chapter 168 The only sound left is the sound of rain
God is not good at it.
The rootless water falls down at midnight.
Gradually the rain became heavier.
Knocking on the window lattice, the sound of rain at night is annoying.
Fortunately, Song Shutang slept well and woke up early the next day.
According to the request of 'Mountain Ghost', we need to rush to Xiao'an Village at ten o'clock today, so there is no need to delay.
I didn't see Zhu Yue, Long Hao and others when I woke up early.
Shen Lushui informed everyone that they had already set up an ambush outside Xiao'an Village in advance. Others went into the mountains overnight last night and were still going around the mountain road towards Xiao'an Village.
Had breakfast in the office.
Then he put on rubber rain boots, put on the bureau's standard dark green raincoat, and put on his hat to hide himself in it.
You are not allowed to go together, you can only go alone.
Shen Lushui personally saw him off outside the gate and warned in the rain: "Be more careful."
"My subordinate understands."
Without talking too much, Song Shutang turned around and walked into the heavy rain.
Members of the Red Party were not able to participate in the operation today in order to ensure that the mission could be carried out smoothly without interference.
Heavy rain prevented rickshaws from being seen on the streets.
Song Shutang walked to the pier near Guanyinliang Street. Fortunately, he left early and had plenty of time.
There are no ferries on the Jialing River yet. The Intelligence Department anticipated this situation in advance and contacted an old man to wait here.
Song Shutang boarded the boat to cross the river.
Then walk to Xiaoan Village.
Although he was far away, he was neither slow nor slow.
Heavy rain blocked the road today, so I thought the Mountain Ghost would have some time. Fortunately, it happened to be ten o'clock when he made it all the way to Xiao'an Village.
There was originally a shallow beach in front of the village, but last night's heavy rain made the village entrance now a pool of water, and you have to wade into the water if you want to enter the village.
The water was not deep, so Song Shutang stepped in directly.
As for the people from the Intelligence Department who had come here to ambush earlier, they had not seen them. They seemed to have gone into hiding, and Song Shutang did not need to look for their traces.
After crossing the stagnant water and standing in front of Xiao'an Village, he looked around.
The village was small, with only a few dozen houses, so it was very difficult to search, but it was impossible to search.
He knew in his heart that the "mountain ghost" must have left a signal for him here, so under observation he saw a notebook on the ancient tree at the entrance of the village.
It's not easy to find because of its lush foliage.
Moreover, Kunoki Takashi may not have expected that there was a sudden heavy rain last night, and this notebook would probably be washed away badly. Song Shutang looked up at the tall ancient tree.
The old trees were so slippery due to rain that it was not difficult to climb up, but not easy either.
In addition, wearing a raincoat is even more inconvenient.
Song Shutang picked up a stone that was rounded by the water on the river beach, stood under a tree and threw it towards the notebook. The stone hit the stone with an unbiased hit and the notebook fell from a height.
As soon as he reached out to catch it, he recognized it as Meng Jiaqi's item. He always kept it in his hand for easy recording at any time.
Although it has been exposed to rain, the outside is made of leather and has good waterproof properties.
Take shelter from the rain under a tree and open it to check.
In addition to the content recorded by Meng Jiaqi, I saw the text left by the "Mountain Ghost" at the end.
"After entering the village, go straight for six hundred meters."
The content is very brief.
But Kunoki Takashi is good at writing kanji.
Six hundred meters?
It can be seen that it passes through Xiaoan Village.
He had to pass seven or eight houses on the way, and Song Shutang judged whether there was any danger.
After thinking about it, he did not follow the road into the village.
Instead, he climbed directly to another tree near the roof, and then jumped directly onto the roof. The rain boots were inconvenient and made his movements slow.
Standing on the wall before the roof, the hand-wide adobe wall did not become muddy due to rain, but was solid and solid.
March on top of the wall and head toward the back of the village.
Song Shutang's idea is not to enter the village road, because you can't be sure whether the "mountain ghost" will hide in the house and secretly kill you.
Although Song Shutang analyzed the psychology of "mountain ghost" and felt that he would never be like this.
But if you can avoid danger, there is no need to take risks!
The 'mountain ghost' walking from the roof had no chance to take action even if he hid in a private house in advance.
And he was very observant every step he took.
Naturally, the houses are not closely connected, and there are times when people jump from the roof, but since they are not facing the street, there are no windows to observe the situation here.
It was extremely inconvenient to get up and down, so I simply took off my raincoat.
By the time he stood behind Xiaoan Village, he was already soaked to the skin.
Kunoki Takashi had not yet been seen in the rain curtain, so he continued to move forward.
Not far behind the village is a high mountain. It is considered a slope, but there are not many trees. The situation in front of you is unobstructed.
Because it is close to a village, there is a fear of being attacked by wild beasts in the mountains, so the vegetation behind the village is deliberately cleared to facilitate observation.
Walking in the rain, there is mud under your feet.
Touching the rainwater on his face with his hand, Song Shutang vaguely saw a figure not far away.
Look closely and see the "Mountain Ghost" standing on the spot wearing a raincoat.
Song Shutang never thought that the ‘Mountain Ghost’ would appear so straightforwardly.
At this moment, it looked like he was just moving up and down on the roof, a bit like a clown.
Stop and look across the rain curtain!
At this moment, Song Shutang had no worries in his heart. Since the 'mountain ghost' dared to appear like this, he naturally had no intention of firing a dirty shot.
And this distance is quite difficult for a pistol.
But shouting loudly doesn’t seem like a ‘mountain ghost’ style.
Therefore, after saying a word, he kept silent, realizing that talking more would be useless.
The mountain ghost took a step back and showed the device behind him, which was two buckets mounted high on the ground.
The bucket is filled with clean water.
In Song Shutang's eyes, Shangui motioned him to look to both sides.
As soon as I saw the 'Mountain Ghost', my eyes were fixed on him, fearing that he would make some strange move.
Both sides have not been observed yet.
At this moment, I followed the mountain ghost's gaze and saw figures on the left and right in the rain.
There was a person on the left sitting in the mud. From her body shape, she could tell it was Meng Jiaqi. She also tried her best to look this way, but she was tied to the spot and unable to move, with a ball of cloth stuffed in her mouth.
On the right, there are four figures who can be seen as children. The youngest is probably only three years old, and the oldest is only about six or seven years old. They are also tied together and shivering.
Song Shutang suddenly went to see "Mountain Ghost".
I saw him holding two buckets with both hands, which is self-evident.
When the bucket is pushed down and the water begins to flow out, the mechanism below will be triggered. When the water in the bucket dries up, it will fall from a height, thereby pulling the thin wire to pull the fuse and causing the explosive to explode.
This can only be prevented by cutting off the thin wire connecting the fuse before the water in the barrel runs out.
But Meng Jiaqi was on one side with the child.
Very far apart.
You can only choose to save the left or the right!
This is a multiple-choice question given by ‘Mountain Ghost’.
When the 'Mountain Ghost' was about to activate its mechanism, Song Shutang shouted: "This is too childish. I don't even want to save you. What can you do?"
Hearing Song Shutang's call, the 'Mountain Ghost' didn't answer at all, but started to activate the mechanism.
No help?
If you don’t save, don’t save!
What’s the relationship with Kunoki Takashi?
It's nothing more than a design failure.
Then kill these outsiders who are causing trouble first, and then make a break with Song Shutang.
But if Song Shutang saves him, he will be in such a miserable state that he can only save one party and kill the other party.
That feeling should be very pleasant.
Song Shutang cursed inwardly.
He deliberately delayed the opportunity to consider countermeasures.
But Kunoki Taka didn't give him such a chance at all and activated the mechanism directly.
Song Shutang's body was ejected in an instant. Because the water flow was too fast, it would take him time to run over.
If it's too late, he himself will be affected by the explosion and may die.
But could Song Shutang really watch with cold eyes?
Maybe Yan Qinghui can come.
But he can't!
He immediately chose to rush towards the child and ignored Meng Jiaqi, not even hesitating.
There was no time for him to struggle.
Meng Jiaqi naturally saw this scene. Song Shutang's decision was much faster than she imagined, but she agreed with the other party's choice.
She was prepared to be bombed to death.
When Kunoki Takashi saw this scene, his eyes were full of appreciation, and he was enjoying himself mentally.
He is controlling Song Shutang's actions.
This feeling is so wonderful.
The rain affected his speed. Song Shutang rushed towards the child desperately and cut off the thin thread on the ground with a dagger.
The barrel just finished draining the water.
At this moment, the barrel began to fall, and Song Shutang, who was still far away from Meng Jiaqi, seemed helpless.
Everyone is waiting for the explosion.
But at this critical moment, Song Shutang took out the pistol in his arms and raised his hand to shoot without making any further preparations.
This shot was not aimed at Kunomu Taka.
After all, the distance is still far and it is difficult to hit with a gun.
His shot went straight in the direction of Meng Jiaqi.
Kunoki Takashi had a playful look on his face. He naturally understood what Song Shutang meant. He wanted to use bullets to break the thin wire, so that the mechanism could not be triggered and the bomb could not be detonated.
But this distance is not close either.
And in the rain curtain, the thin lines are tiny.
How can you miss if you shoot hastily?
But after the gunshot, there was only the sound of rain falling between the sky and the earth, and the long-awaited explosion did not sound.
