Chapter 4: The Hunt for Ruoyu: XXIII. Ruoyu is gone
I silently calculated it in my heart, and felt that Ruoyu was the most likely to choose the third, fourth, and sixth ways. But no matter which choice she makes, there is no way for her to escape. She would not have imagined that I would be so determined to arrest her, nor would she have thought that the entire tribe would act against her alone. After ruling out the three possibilities, among the remaining three possibilities, Aya is now leading people to investigate the fourth way. I believe the results will come out soon.
I thought about it carefully to see if there would be anything missing, to see if there would be a way that I hadn't thought of right now.
It wasn't until Aya came back to report the results of her search that I finally stood up for my judgment. Aya said that all the surrounding areas had been searched, but no rain had been found. Even clues and traces related to Ruoyu have not been found. This rain seems to have disappeared out of thin air.
Obviously, Ruoyu is deliberately hiding her whereabouts. She was careful to keep all traces behind her clean. It seems that I still underestimated this Ruoyu. She is by no means as simple as an intellectual woman, because in such an environment, erasing all traces of herself is something that an ordinary special forces soldier cannot do. In any case, there will be some clues left behind. And these clues will not escape the tribal people who have lived here for generations and are familiar with every grass and tree here. What's more, there is no shortage of these people who are good at concealment and tracking. Ruoyu did it, so that all trackers, including those excellent hunters, could not find any trace of her.
I shared my analysis and thoughts with Aya and asked her to go along with them. Aya felt that my analysis was already comprehensive and specific, and she had nothing to add.
I pondered for a moment, feeling that this time the battle to defend Bogda was over. I told Aya to let all of them rest well today and return to their respective tribes early tomorrow morning. Before that, one thing they had to do was to set up a temporary checkpoint at the pass outside the forest behind the village on the side of the ancestral hall, and at the same time, at the exit on the other side of the sea of flowers, they also set up a temporary checkpoint. These two makeshift posts are on duty day and night, blocking the way for Ruoyu to slip in. Beginning early tomorrow morning, all those who returned to the tribe searched carefully in both directions. It is believed that the rain is in one of these two directions.
After saying this, I want Aya to tell the leader of the wolf clan again that he will send someone to the side of the Gongbrazan Snow Mountain every day to investigate, so as to prevent the mercenaries from giving up and making another sneak attack like this. In addition, the position leading to the valley mouth slope outside the mountain was taken over by the wolf clan, and it was still forbidden to enter and exit. Those who want to enter and exit will be seized. Until Ruoyu is caught, this position can be withdrawn.
After Aya went to implement my arrangements, I thought of Ruoyu again. Where will this rain be now? When I think of this, I can't help but feel secretly funny, I've never thought of a person like this. It's still a girl, a girl who fills me with hatred.
I think I've always been too careless about Wakayu. If you want to pay more attention to her and understand her a little more before, now you may be able to make a detailed analysis and judgment from her behavior habits and real personality factors. It's a pity that because she doesn't know the truth, such an analysis and judgment can't be done.
Aya soon returned, and she brought back a message. The Bogda 9th Department sent people to confirm the people stationed in the village, including the temporary ambulance center, from all tribesmen. No outsiders were found. For the wounded person who was pretended to be Ruoyu, the tribes also confirmed that there was no such person. When confirming the identity of the injured person, one of the ambulance personnel said that he remembered that there was such a person, and after leaving the ancestral hall, he walked in the direction of the forest behind the village. Later, someone looked into the forest and found traces of someone staying.
Aya said, "Now it's certain that Ruoyu fled in that direction. Are we organizing manpower now to conduct a large-scale search in that direction? ”
I thought about it for a moment, shook my head, and said, "I think this trace is a little obvious, and it is a little inconsistent with her behavior, more like Ruoyu deliberately left it for us to see." She wanted us to think she was going in that direction. How so, it is more likely that she is not in which direction. Now, we don't bother with her and do it on our own schedule. Regardless of which direction she is really in, as long as she is not given a chance to slip back, she has no way out. Tomorrow, I will tell the tribe who will go back in that direction, and search carefully all the way to see what tricks she can play! ”
Aya nodded and said, "That's fine, she misses hers, we'll do ours, save yourself from always following her ass and letting her lead her." ”
I said, "Isn't she playing with us?" We don't care about her kaleidoscopic changes, we just hold an exit. Let her play by herself. When there is no food, see how she can toss?! See who can survive whom? "At this point, I paused." To be on the safe side, you bring in the Thousand-Faced Beast, the Little Demon, and the Little White. Let the Thousand-Faced Beast and the little demon go to the pass outside the forest to move, and let Xiaobai go to the sea of flowers to patrol, so that they can break the idea of slipping back like rain. I think she can do anything?! ”
When Aya turned to leave, I stopped her again. "You let the Thousand-Faced Beast, the Little Demon and the Little White go back to the temple by themselves early tomorrow morning. I'm afraid we'll have to rush back to the temple overnight today, and there are still some people waiting for me to treat them, and if it takes too long, their bodies will deteriorate, and I won't be able to go back to heaven by then. "Then, I thought of the captive Kane, and I asked Aya to arrange for someone to look after him. I told Aya that there could be no accidents with this Kane, and that I was going to keep it for a purpose.
Shortly after Aya left, a few of the people returned. The wolf people have taken over the position at the mouth of the valley, and they can finally relax. Looking at these people, I feel that this battle is over, and I should find a time to have a serious chat with them, listen to their thoughts, and see their future arrangements and plans. Ryukawa had decided to stay, and Bogda was now in need of someone who could teach Bogda the use of modern weapons, as well as conduct regular military training. Xiao Shu, the old man, and Faceless will leave with Xiao Ni and Xiao Di first, and then escort Ah Mei's corpse back. I will resurrect Ah Mei in the real temple.
After the others put down their packs, I told them that I was going back to the temple overnight. They can go to the temple with Dole tomorrow.
Xiao Shu asked, why don't you go together? I smiled and said, "You're walking too slowly, I can't afford to wait." ”
