Chapter 20: For a bite

I woke up. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The cold wind howled outside the cave, and the snow drifted down without money.

For this kind of weather, for me, a marginal person, it is the most painful.

The reason why I say that I am a marginal person is because I have no home, and people who have no home are duckweed, grass, and I say it is good, and I am a family from all over the world.

The reason why I say the most painful is because such weather is a disaster for a beggar like me.

It was the winter of 1937.

And I, twenty-one years old.

Trembling, I took out the only piece of flint and steel, set fire to the weeds I had prepared, and used the weeds to set fire to the branches, and then to set fire to a few sticks.

And my flint and steel also sent out the last spark, and said goodbye to me completely.

Hunger is my biggest feeling at the moment.

The flint and steel are gone, and there is nothing to eat, if I don't go out to find something to eat, and then think of getting a flint and steel back, this winter, I can't get by.

Gritting my teeth, I extinguished the fire and saved the spark so that in case I didn't get the flint, it could lead to fire.

Tightening my clothes, I stepped out of the cave.

Heavy snow blocked the mountain road, and I basically couldn't walk a few steps before I fell to the ground, and in the middle of the fall, I finally came down the mountain.

There were a few poor families at the foot of the mountain, and I knew that it would be in vain to go, so I simply endured hunger and cold and continued to move forward.

At noon, I finally came to a small town.

It's a town, to put it bluntly, it's almost the same as a village, but it's just a few more streets and a few more shops than the village.

My lips were purple from the cold, and I was shivering all over my body, and I knew it was bad, I had a cold.

There was a blacksmith shop in front of me, which had long since closed, and I looked along the street and knew that there was a hotel not far ahead, and in any case, I would go to the hotel to ask for a bowl of wine to warm up.

The façade of the hotel is not big, but at this moment, it is full of people, and as soon as I see the people inside, I immediately turn around and leave.

It was no one else, but a group of soldiers.

In these days, it's normal to be soldiers, but they are wolves in military uniforms! They don't know anything else, they can only brag and fart, which is actually nothing, the most important thing is that they don't dare to go to the front line to kill the enemy, they will only fish in the country, bully men and women, and do bad things anyway.

At this moment, the owner of the hotel was trembling and hiding behind the counter, and the poor little second was busy breaking his leg and kept bringing wine to this group of soldiers.

"Brothers, listen to what my brother told you," a guy who looked like a platoon commander burped, half-squinted his eyes, and laughed, "You don't know, that devil's plane cannon, oops, that's amazing, my brothers, ouch, it's really a miserable death!" I don't think this will work, I'll be finished if I continue like this, but I have nowhere to hide, who called me a soldier? But fortunately, my brother and I have a big life, and after a battle, I was stunned and unharmed! After the war, I was directly promoted, did you see it? As he spoke, he pointed to his military uniform and shouted loudly, "Platoon commander!" Rise directly to platoon commander! He was talking elatedly, but when he turned his head, he saw me, and immediately pointed with his hand, "That kid, what kind of bullshit do you mean?" Listening to your uncle, you're not upset, aren't you? Mom, I think you're tired of being alive, aren't you? With that, the gun was pulled out, and it slammed into my leg, almost hitting my leg, and my leg was so frightened that I went limp, and I immediately sat down on the snow.

"It turned out to be a! Lao Tzu didn't hit you again, your mother is scared like this, get out! The platoon commander laughed.

I made up my mind and patted my chest, good guy, my little life is almost here, I have to get out of this place quickly.

Hungry and cold, I was more and more sure that I was sick, because I was dizzy, my mouth was dry, and my body was weak.

I staggered on, seeing that I was about to leave the town, I really couldn't hold on, I just felt that my legs were like lead and I couldn't take a step, and my two eyelids were napping, I knew that I couldn't rest, I couldn't sleep, otherwise, I would definitely not be able to get up after sleeping. In these days, it is common for people to freeze to death.

I knew I couldn't stop, I had to keep walking, going all the way.

It was getting dark.

I found that it looked like I was lost.

I came to a mountain nest that I had never been to before.

There's a family in front of me, and I can't do anything at the moment, I have to get something to eat and drink to warm up, or I'll die.

This family is blinded by black lights, and no one seems to be there.

In fact, I know that there are definitely people at home, but, these days, who dares to turn on the lights at night?

I knew that the door could never be opened, so in order to survive, I opened the door of the pot house directly. (Pot house, the dialect of northern Jiangsu, means kitchen.) )

touched the stove, and there was still heat, indicating that the family had just eaten.

So, like a bandit descending the mountain, I rummaged around in the pot house.

"Don't turn it over, there's nothing to eat, there's no more mouthful." An old voice came, and I smiled bitterly, "That's right, okay, excuse me." After saying that, he suddenly felt weak, and the golden light flashed in front of him, and he almost fell down.

"You can go forward, the sailor is recruiting tonight, it's very lively, you go, maybe there will be wine and meat."

This was probably the best news, and I hurriedly thanked him and hurried towards the sailor's house.

In these years, the common people dare not make a noise about any happy events in their families, basically they are sneaky, because the reason is very simple, one is afraid of being a soldier, the other is afraid of bandits, basically all the landlords and old wealth are pretending to be poor, regardless of rich or poor, as long as there are daughters, basically, early is either married or recruited, and the door does not go out of the second door, for fear of being robbed!

So, because of this, I went all the way to the door of the sailor's house, and I didn't feel the atmosphere of a happy event, not even the most basic food, if the family didn't lie to me before, it means that the sailor's house has a secret room, and the happy event is done in the secret room.

After all, the people here are leaning against the mountain, and basically people with a little money and strength have a secret room or something, so that no one can find it, whether it is a soldier or a bandit, hide in the secret room!

The sailor's family seems to be powerful, otherwise it would not be called an outsider, the courtyard wall is two meters high, and at this moment, the courtyard door is closed!

I looked through the crack in the door into the courtyard, and it was empty, and the lights were blinding.

Generally, such a person, in addition to the gate, there are two side gates, I circled around the yard, yes, the side door is also locked.

How do I get in? Over the wall? This is unrealistic, because at this moment, I am sick, tired, and hungry and almost dying, besides, even if I am good, I don't seem to have the ability to climb over the wall of more than two meters, and besides, I want to do it at night for no reason?

I just want to stutter, is that easy?
