After the Yunling ambush, the sentiment of the common people in the persimmon bay area to resist the Japanese devils gradually awakened, and the earthen gun, the most common and simplest hunting tool, was valued by the ordinary people in the plains, and more and more young villagers learned to shoot guns, and they went to Liuwan and Yunling to ask for masters and learn techniques.

From time to time, I heard the news that the Japanese were attacked by the villagers, and the devils were afraid to go to the countryside, for fear of losing their lives.

Recently, Liuwan's parents and Bin Wa's parents often quarreled and even sometimes got into fights. Although Quanwa's mother is said to have four sons, it is heartbreaking to lose a Quanwa. Binwa's parents are just this one son, but they died because of the ambush, so the mood is even more mental.

After dinner that day, Grandma Hong'er went to wash the dishes, and accidentally touched a little porcelain on the mouth of a bowl, and Grandpa Hong'er counted it angrily and said: "Oh, it won't be lighter, why are you panicking?" Grandma Hong'er replied without relaxation: "Why are you still flustered, it's not you." "What's wrong with you? like a mad dog." ”

"It's you who killed Ewa. "The more you talk about it, the more nonsense you get, that's the Japanese who beat you to death, dare to beat your baby to death? "Isn't it? If you don't let him learn to shoot, he'll die, but you killed Ewa," as she spoke, Grandma Hong'er cried: "Eh, Bin Wa, why are you scolding this Lao Tzu, oh, poor baby......"

"Oh, you bastard, don't you dare to feel heartache, you are just this kid, and your forehead is still out of business," as he spoke, Grandpa Hong'er himself cried: "Oh, it's better to jump into the ditch, and you will be tortured to death all day long." ”

"You are a lazy worker, you killed Ewa step by step, oh, you shouldn't let Ewa go to send food. also told people that Bin Wa is filial and wants to take care of you. and let Ewa learn to shoot. You are simply a wolf baby, and you killed Ewa step by step, oh, hard-hearted. ”

Grandpa Hong'er slapped himself in the face while crying and said, "Damn it, damn it." ”

Binwa's daughter-in-law couldn't help it, so she ran out of the house and persuaded her father-in-law to go out for a run, which gradually calmed down, and it was over.

This daughter-in-law is called Wang Huiqing, nicknamed Qing'er. Qing'er and Binwa gave birth to three daughters in a row after marriage, but there are no children. The eldest daughter is called Liu Jiahong, nicknamed Hong'er, the second daughter is called Liu Jiaxiang, nicknamed Xiang'er, the third daughter is called Liu Jiayan, nicknamed Yan'er.

Qing'er is quiet, although she has already given birth to three children, but the village has a family early, Qing'er was married at the age of sixteen, and by this time, she was only twenty-four or five years old.

Not to mention that the devil has plagued the woman, and let such a young daughter-in-law drag her three children to be widowed, how can she live in the future? When the villagers think of this, they even have the heart to tear the devil to the ground.

Countrymen are like this, timid, wooden, and uninformed, but if they really want to let go of their hearts, they are more ruthless than anyone else. This is the original driving force of the humanity of the people of Persimmon Bay, where the anti-Japanese wave is higher and higher.

Early in the morning, as soon as it was dawn, I heard someone knock on the gate of Liuwan Village with something hard. Quan Wa and Yongwa rubbed their eyes, came out of the small kiln in the gate of the city gate, opened their mouths and yawned. Kwon Wa opened the small wooden bolt on the city gate and looked out at the small hole: Oh, it's amazing, the Japanese are coming.

It's too late, it's too soon. Quan Wa hurriedly turned around and whispered, "Quick, set off firecrackers." Yongwa hurriedly ran back to the kiln to get firecrackers and put them in the village. Seeing that the devil was coming, Quan Wa picked up the gun and shot it from the small hole. At the same time, two shots were fired on the second floor of the gate tower. I saw that the two or three devils in front of the line fell down in response, covering their faces and rolling on the ground with their faces "whooping".

Seeing this scene, the officer-like hand waved, and the small steel cannon "boom, boom" two loud sounds, and the two heavy city gates fell down with a bang, and smashed heavily on the right baby who had no time to dodge, and the second floor of the city gate tower was also blown down, and suddenly, gunpowder smoke and dust rose everywhere, and the rubble was all over the ground.

Yongwa ran away, only to hear a "pop", was shot in the leg, and fell to the slope on the south side of the city gate tower. With a wave of the officer-like saber and a hoarse "all hands attack", the Japanese devils swarmed in.

Because I have always guessed that the Japanese will come to retaliate, these days, the people of Liuwan sleep in their clothes every night, for fear that it will be too late. Hearing the sound of firecrackers and a loud bang, everyone at home got up and ran into the ditch. The old man who can't walk is ready to fight to the death.

The devil rushed into the alleys like crazy, shooting at the sight of people, entering every door, sweeping inside and outside. The old people who did not leave at home carried earthen guns, machetes, spears, and even milling, pickpockets, and hoes in their hands, hiding behind doors, thatched houses, and behind the walls, and were cold to sneak attack the devils.

As soon as they entered the door, they were cut off by a knife or a small pickaxe, and as soon as they showed their faces, they were beaten all over their bodies by earthen spears, and their faces were full of iron seeds like a sieve. After a fight, many old men fell in pools of blood, still clutching the guys tightly in their hands.

After the fight and robbery, several small steel cannons of the devils "boom, boom" in different directions. Suddenly, the courtyards in the village were full of flames, thick smoke billowed out, and Liuwan became a hell on earth. Even the devil wanted to destroy the faith of the Zhuanghu people, and bombarded the temples in the village with a cannon, the land temple, the dragon king temple, the Laojun temple, the Guanyin temple and the temple groups on the mountain, all of which were all gone, and all collapsed.

The strange thing is that the bottom floor of the thick city gate tower, the stele tower on the north side, and the old big wall in front of the city gate are still standing motionless in the smoke of gunpowder.

But just when the devil felt that he had won a great victory and was about to evacuate Liuwan, he suddenly realized that there were all the old people in the village? Where did the young and middle-aged people and their children go? Just when the devil was wondering, suddenly, a few kilometers north of the village, there were several loud noises and flames.

In addition to the shock, the devil hurried to Qingxi, not only was he ambushed halfway, but also returned to the Qingxi stronghold to see that there was a ruin in front of him, and there was nowhere to stand.

It turned out that Yong'er and Fanwa united with the Zhuanghu people in Qingxi, and the soldiers were divided into two groups, one group ambushed the devils, and one group destroyed the devils' lair in one fell swoop. A few days later, in Longhu Town, more than 30 miles west of Liuwan, news also came from the destruction of the devil's stronghold.

In this way, the devil temporarily withdrew from the persimmon bay area in Fennan, and the villagers who ran out to hide returned to the village one after another, of course, there were also some people from other towns. No, I heard that a family fled from somewhere in Liuwan Village, saying that the man of that family was named Wu You, and the couple had two children. Because the village has been abused by devils, it is a mess, everyone is too busy to take care of themselves, and no one cares about this matter for the time being.

It is said that not long after, that is, when the devils entrenched in the county seat and Fenbei had not yet launched a counterattack, the first part of the Eighth Route Army went north along the line of Ronghe, Jinpu, Fenwan and Pingyang to resist the Japanese invaders, and the devils were defeated all the way and withdrew from Fenwan. The devil, who didn't have time to retreat, committed suicide by caesarean section.

In response to the fortune teller's proverb that "the sun rises in the East Sea and sets in the West Mountain", the Japanese devils have not been able to cross the West Mountain, which lies on the land of China, that is, the Luliang Mountains, let alone our mother river, the Yellow River.

Persimmon Bay is located on the Loess Plateau. Although this area is vertical and horizontal, ravines and ridges, but patches of fields along the ravines to the south bank of the Fen River stairs distribution, the vast fields are endless, since ancient times Shanxi important agricultural area. It is said that the folk in the persimmon bay area have spread some beautiful legends so far:

It is said that in ancient times, the ancestors of the Yellow River Valley, in order to reproduce and prosper the tribe, the tribal leader ordered one of his courtiers to lead the people to run around to cultivate millet. The courtier went to many places, but he could not find a suitable place to grow millet.

But when they came to the lower reaches of the Fen River, on the yellow earth called Persimmon Bay in this book, they were magically cultivated into millet. So, they went down at sunrise and rested at sunset, gradually expanding the area of millet cultivation. This piece of yellow earth has gradually become the granary of this tribe.

Later, in order to commend this courtier, and to encourage more people to actively cultivate the land and agriculture, in order to strengthen the clan, the tribal leader canonized this courtier as the "King of Ji", and the hill south of Persimmon Bay was canonized as the "King of Ji".

When King Ji died, people buried King Ji on King Ji Mountain according to his last wishes. In order to express their reverence and nostalgia for King Ji, the descendants built a temple on King Jiwang Mountain, called the Temple of King Ji, and went to worship during the New Year's Festival.

Moreover, since then, there has been an unwritten rule that all those who are officials in this place must go up to Jiwang Mountain every year to worship Jiwang.

But with the passage of time, those who sit in this place feel that it is too tiring to go up the mountain, and it is too far, so the Jiwang Temple moved step by step from the mountain to the foot of the mountain, and then moved from the foot of the mountain to a place called Xinmiao in Persimmon Bay, and finally moved from the new temple to the county seat on the north bank of the Fenhe River, which is now the county seat of Fenwan.

The temple is so large that it is actually a complex of buildings. Even during the Anti-Japanese War, the temple was not fatally damaged. Because the Zhuang people in the persimmon bay area and even the entire Fenwan County regard this temple as the root in their hearts and swear to protect her. For her, I don't know how many children endured humiliation and sacrificed their lives, but they did not leave their names. Their blood either seeped into the yellow land where he was born and raised, or sprinkled into the Fen River, merged into the Yellow River, and rushed to the sea.

As for where King Ji was buried, no one has researched it, and no one has made it clear, let alone done archaeological excavations. Because he is the ancestor of the national farming civilization, he is in the blood of the Zhuanghu people and in the hearts of the Chinese people.

Miraculously, there is also a pagoda on Jiwang Mountain, which has not fallen for thousands of years, and even the artillery fire of the Japanese has not damaged her. Maybe it's because she's too tall, or maybe it's because she's far away from the devil's stronghold, anyway, she still stands on Jiwang Mountain, overlooking Persimmon Bay and even several nearby counties.

What's even more peculiar is that after the death of King Ji, there were mythical patches of "grain gems" around the pagoda. The beautiful and lovely little stone seeds, smooth and round, some like grains, some like millet grains, some like wheat grains, some like bean grains, some like corn grains, some like sorghum grains, very wonderful.

But no one can say exactly why these grain gems are made, when they appear, and what they portend.

When the sun is about to set, standing on the yellow earth of Persimmon Bay, looking up at Jiwang Mountain, thinking of those beautiful legends, the pagoda on the high mountain seems to be so majestic and harmonious in the afterglow of the sun, which makes people have to admire the wisdom of the ancestors who built the tower scenery.
