Song Yanan probably guessed my decision. She didn't show any surprise on her face. She hesitated for a moment and asked me, "Would you like to go and take a look?"
"No!"
I waved my hand, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Be quick and get it done in one go. Don't shoot him half to death. He will lie on the cold ground and suffer for a long time before dying."
This is the only thing I can do now.
As for going to see it...
I don't want to, can't bear it, and don't dare to.
Making this decision is difficult enough. If I go to see it again, am I afraid that those angry and desperate villagers will scold me? Even if they are poking my spine now, hearing it with my own ears and pretending not to know are two different concepts. The main reason is that I am afraid that I will be soft-hearted if I go.
"Okay, if you don't want to go, then don't go. You've already taken enough blame for this mess. Let's do the rest!"
Song Yanan sighed softly and said, "If you want to finish it quickly, don't use the gun. Monkey is a blaster. Let him use the bomb. Once the sound is heard, there will be no pain!"
I nodded: "Go!"
Song Yanan didn't say anything else. She nodded neatly and turned away.
As soon as she left, Zhou Jing, who was sitting next to me, said to me: "Brother, don't think about it. Let's go. Let me put some medicine on your wound and bandage it. Otherwise, when they are ready, there will be no time. We have to go on this road. There are many miles of winding mountain roads. If you don't treat your burns, you will suffer a lot in the future."
"Yeah."
I helped Zhou Jing stand up while enduring the pain in my body, and limped into the south room. Zhou Jing was right. I was afraid that there would be more suffering in the future. After the matter of Diantou Village was resolved, we had to continue to explore the matter of Highway 106. The most important thing was to find the mother body of the corpse. Otherwise, the trouble would not be solved. If the mother body jumped to a densely populated area, it would still be a disaster.
Medicine, I have it in my backpack, it is the wound medicine I bought from a friend my dad knew before, it is said that it is a special thing in the army, and the effect is very good, Zhou Jing sprinkled the powder on the wound, and I felt the wound was cool at that time, and it seemed that even the pain was relieved a lot, and then Zhou Jing began to bandage me, wrapping it from front to back, and then I looked at it-wow, even the pants were saved!
When I was almost done with the bandage, Song Yanan and a few others happened to come back, but their eyes were all red.
"It's so miserable! It's so miserable!"
As soon as Dapao came back, he said hoarsely: "Really, this job is harder than being a soldier. I never thought that I would do this kind of thing one day. There are children inside, very small children, their crying... I was heartbroken when I heard it, and they stretched out their white and tender little hands and kept saying to me-'Uncle, uncle, let me go!', I really..."
I looked up at him and said nothing.
I can imagine that scene even with my eyes closed. When facing death, what can't people do? The villagers of Baiyangyu ate each other to survive, and the villagers here are the same. After all, it is human nature. I know with my eyes closed that there must be a continuous cry of begging and screaming at that time, and every sound is heartbreaking!
"It hasn't exploded yet?"
I didn't want to discuss this topic, so I asked Monkey: "When will it explode?"
"The power is too great. If it explodes on the spot, we probably won't be able to leave."
Monkey whispered: "It's timed. It will explode in an hour. Let's pack up and go now. Calculate the time. When we reach the safe area, this place will be razed to the ground!"
I nodded and started to put on cotton pants without saying a word. These down cotton pants have been baked on the kang for a night. Now they are basically dry. When I put them on, they are warm, and my cold heart is finally relieved.
After packing up, a few of us carried our equipment and left the village from another path.
At this time, the sky was basically bright, and we were not afraid of slipping and falling on the mountain road. Then we followed the direction on the map and walked all the way into the deep mountains. This road was the place where the original 106 highway was.
After stumbling in the mountains for about half an hour, the time bomb that Monkey had placed in Diantou Village finally exploded. We heard a series of earth-shaking loud noises of "boom boom boom". We could feel the ground shaking from a long distance. No wonder Monkey said that the detonation power was too great and it could not be detonated without leaving the village.
At this time, several of us were just halfway up the mountain. Looking back, we could see Diantou Village with flames rising to the sky. It had basically become a ruin. The smoke condensed in the sky and did not dissipate for a long time. I knew that the village had completely disappeared. With the earth-shaking loud noise, the village was completely wiped out from Mianshan!
"Dust to dust, earth to earth, close your eyes in peace when you die, don't stay in the world of the living, life is bitter, death is bitter, go to a peaceful and prosperous world in the next life!"
I sighed softly, and then said to the monkey: "Report the situation here to Scarface!"
After that, I was the first to take a step and continue to walk up the mountain.
After the incident in Diantou Village, our mood was not very high. Everyone knew that this was the right thing to do and it was the wisest choice, but it was not a good feeling to watch some villagers who could laugh and talk go into the sea of fire.
The monkey had already reported all the situations here to Scarface. Scarface didn't say much to me on the phone, just three words "thank you for your hard work".
I accepted these three words calmly and I am qualified to accept them. The things here have nothing to do with me. I was entangled by them and dragged into this vortex. All the sufferings were unprovoked. It is an understatement to say that it is hard work. This time, this crappy job is not only physically tiring, but also mentally uncomfortable!
All the way to the south.
We left Diantou Village around 8 o'clock in the morning, and arrived at the Mianshan section of Highway 106 at noon. This highway has been abandoned. After 20 years of abandonment, the asphalt inside has long been cracked due to thermal expansion and contraction. The whole highway is full of gullies and weeds.
The next task was to follow this road to find the place where the problem occurred. I almost never let go of the telescope, and I looked at the mountains and rivers along the way, looking for the most suitable burial site in the Panlong vein of Mianshan. This was hard work and slow work. We ran around for a whole day and didn't find any way. That night, we opened our sleeping bags and rested on the side of the road. I don't know if we slept well or not, but we almost froze to death. Fortunately, there was no emergency, so we set off again at about five o'clock the next day.
After running for about a morning, I finished the 106 highway. The end of the highway is at the foot of a mountain. Song Yanan told me that the designer of the highway originally planned to drill through the mountain and build a tunnel, so as to shorten the length of the 106 highway to the greatest extent. However, before the tunnel was opened, the construction workers began to disappear. Finally, the highway ended here and was hastily abandoned. After the designer redesigned it, the 106 highway was directly diverted at the junction of Hebei and Shanxi, bypassing Shanxi and heading straight to Henan.
Since the construction workers had an accident here at the beginning, if there is a tomb in this dragon vein, it must be nearby!
Unfortunately, this place is desolate and belongs to a low valley. Standing here, I looked around for a long time but couldn't see any problems. Finally, I just waved my hand and climbed the mountain!
This mountain is not low. As long as you climb up, you can see the direction of the mountains and rivers around you. Then you can easily find the most suitable cave point for burying the dead in this dragon vein. Once the problem is solved, this mission will be successfully completed. The remaining mess is Scarface's problem.
I made up my mind, called a few of them and started climbing the mountain. It took three or four hours and a lot of effort to finally get up the mountain. It was almost dark at this time. Then I stood on the top of the mountain and took a telescope to look. I was dumbfounded!
