340, War Horse's Wish (22)

is worthy of being a literati who has read books, and his association is rich, although this is not the case, but he guessed that the Japanese army was coming, and Tong Xinlan arched the old Xiucai, which means, go quickly.

"Is the Japanese army really here?" asked the old pedant, staring at Tong Xinlan's eyes.

Tong Xinlan nodded, stepped in front of him hurriedly, and turned around twice, meaning to run away quickly.

"You told us to run?" asked the old pedant, seeing the horse doing this.

Tong Xinlan nodded again, only expecting the old scholar to be superstitious and believe her.

"Then, let's hurry up and retreat into the mountains. "I didn't want a cigarette stick, and I turned around and went home to inform my family to evacuate together.

"The Japanese army has also come before, aren't we okay if we are obedient? This time, Lao Xiucai, why are you so cowardly and still running away?" Mazi felt that he had found an opportunity to attack Lao Xiucai, so he said.

Lao Xiucai paused, looked back and pointed to the bloodstains on his hat and said, "Mazi, look, the bloodstains on the hat of this Japanese army show that the man and the Japanese army who stopped him have fought and lost both, and even you are alive or dead." ”

"Housheng, you don't understand, since it is the intelligence that others have to send at the risk of their lives, it means that the Japanese army is not simply passing by here this time, or searching for soldiers in the base area, as long as we are good citizens and do not resist and do not harbor soldiers, they will not harm us. ”

"Some time ago, didn't some people who fled say that their village and the village next door were robbed, killed, and burned by the Japanese army? As the saying goes, two soldiers fight and food and grass go first. But the Japanese army is fighting in our country, and they don't do anything about production, how can they survive this winter? There must be only one to rob us, you stupid boy, read more books, this time, we can't hide, let everyone run away quickly. ”

Tong Xinlan really admires Lao Xiucai now, she is not an understanding person, and it is really difficult to associate these things.

The villagers listened to Lao Xiucai's explanation. I panicked in my heart. They had also seen the refugee who had fled the other day, and the man said that if he hadn't been hiding in a dung pit. He was also killed by the Japanese army.

He hid in a dung pit. Listen to the screams outside. I think that's the end of the world.

When the Japanese army was gone, and when he came out, he found that the screams were made by the villagers when they were driven to the pit and burned alive.

If it is killed, it will be burned. The corpses' postures will not be so distorted, and the villagers' expressions will not be so hideous.

The man said that he covered the pit where the villagers were burned to death, erected a tombstone for the whole village and ran out, and he did not dare to continue to live there alone, it was too terrifying and lonely.

On the way out, he encountered several villages that had similar experiences to his village.

Everything was scorched, I don't know if anyone survived like him, he didn't dare to stop for a moment, so he thought about going to the base area and joining the army to avenge the villagers.

Now, is the Japanese army really going to attack their village?

Thinking of this, the villagers didn't want to be the person who was burned alive as the man said, so they followed Lao Xiucai one after another, went home to pack their things and prepare to run away.

Tong Xinlan was in a hurry, when did it come, these people went back to pack their things.

However, she couldn't speak, so she could only follow the only old show who could understand her meaning and had rich associations before returning home.

Lao Xiucai was busy settling the food, and she didn't rush her, Tong Xinlan rushed into the house, bumped the daughter-in-law of Lao Xiucai, who was packing up the grain, and stepped on the grain again.

"What are you doing, you brute, this is food! "If a woman is distressed, she has to pick up millet.

was said to be a beast by a woman, and Tong Xinlan was not angry, who made her a beast now?

Besides, food is indeed the lifeblood of farmers, and it is normal for her to be said to be wasting food.

It's just that time is pressing now, and there is no time at all! If she hadn't been running wildly on the mountain, where would she have arrived at the village in advance, and if it was a little later, maybe the Japanese army would have entered the village!

Tong Xinlan went to pull Lao Xiucai with her mouth again, pulled him to the gate of the courtyard, nodded in the direction of the village entrance, and stepped on the military hat of the Japanese army.

The old man patted his head and came to his senses, "I'm confused, I'm confused, I don't even have a beast to understand, the Japanese army is about to arrive, where can I take this food away, and if it drags on, no one will be able to leave!"

"Siyuan, Siyuan's daughter-in-law, don't clean up, come with me. Lao Xiucai still has a lot of say at home, and as soon as he gave the order, although his son and daughter-in-law felt sorry for the food, they immediately put down the dustpan and bag in their hands and followed Lao Xiucai and left home.

Lao Xiucai knocked the gong he brought out of his house as he walked, and shouted, "Villagers, don't clean up, run for your life, the Japanese army is about to arrive, where the food can be life-important, you can't go far with the food, run, run." ”

Tong Xinlan praised Lao Xiucai's behavior, and when she ran for her life, she didn't forget the villagers, she was a good old man.

It's just that, after listening to the old man's shouting, there are still some villagers who are unwilling to leave, and there are still some villagers who are unwilling to give up their food and leave alone.

Besides, no matter how the dynasty changes, as long as they are good citizens with peace of mind, they will not kill them if they want to come to the Japanese army, anyway, who is the emperor is not the emperor, as long as they can farm in peace, they are not very opposed to the Japanese army.

Tong Xinlan can't do much, Lao Xiucai can only do it here, persuade one by one, time is simply not enough, who would believe the unclear information brought by a horse.

Therefore, without following the villagers who left the village, Tong Xinlan had no choice.

She just glanced at the village sadly, and then took Lao Xiucai, and people who were willing to believe in her and Lao Xiucai, to the mountains, the mountain road is difficult, but the villagers are more familiar with the mountain roads here, into the mountains, the villagers are also easy to hide, and the Japanese army may not be so easy to catch up with everyone.

Soon after Tong Xinlan and the others left, the team of the Japanese army arrived, and the village was ablaze and wailed.

Because the Japanese army came to grab food, rape/adultery was for pleasure, killing people was incidental, and burning them all for convenience, they naturally did not deliberately count the number of villagers, so they did not chase Lao Xiucai and his party who left early.

The villagers who entered the mountain could not hear the screams, but they could see the fireworks in the sky.

Needless to guess, everyone knows that what they feared has finally happened. (To be continued.) )
