The cellar was pitch black, Zhou Xiang clenched her fists, and a thin layer of sweat appeared in her palms, she tried her best to hold her breath, and the shopkeeper and Xiao Er on her side didn't dare to breathe, just listening to people walking around overhead, muttering some incomprehensible Japanese. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

They seemed to be coming in at the sign of the inn, probably looking for something to eat, and Ding Lingdang rummaged for a long time before he gradually lost his voice.

Zhou Xiang and the shopkeeper nested in the cellar and didn't dare to move, there was no light in the cellar, I don't know how many hours had passed outside, and there was no one talking and footsteps in private, Zhou Xiang boldly mustered up his courage, raised his hat, and wanted to go up to take a look. Who knew that before his body moved, there was movement outside, boom, boom, as if thunder and lightning had started out of thin air.

When Zhou Xiang heard it, it was clearly the sound of guns, and she was suddenly surprised, and secretly said Isn't it the Zhang family defenders who came out to fight?

She hurriedly asked the shopkeeper in a low voice, "How many defenders are there in the city?" ”

The shopkeeper was so stuffy in the cellar that he almost held his breath, and when he heard her question, he was stunned for a moment before he said, "If you defend the city, there should always be 30,000 horses." ”

30,000 is not a few, if the Japanese army comes with some remnants of the defeated generals, it can be resisted in the past, that is, I don't know who is commanding the army in Huludao now, don't run away without a fight like Zhang Jingzu.

She prayed silently in her heart, and the gunfire outside rushed for a while, thinking that the battle would be fierce.

When had the shopkeeper seen such a battle, he had already been frightened by the guns, and he and Xiao Er shrank in the cellar, trembling and said, "How long will this be fought?" We didn't get killed, and we thought we'd be suffocated in this cellar. ”

After hearing this, Zhou Xiang thought that it was not a way to hide all the time, so he said to the shopkeeper: "You two stay here for the time being, I'll go out and have a look, and if there is nothing to do, I will call you out." ”

The shopkeeper was frightened and hurriedly said, "Don't go, don't go, expose us carefully." ”

Zhou Xiang was silent, reached out and lifted the lid of the cellar above his head, revealing two eyes to look out.

It was pitch black outside, and it was already night, and I didn't think they had spent the whole afternoon in the cellar, but fortunately there was a small eye on the edge of the lid on the cellar, otherwise they would not have survived this time.

In the faint moonlight, the mess in the courtyard was faintly visible, which was the traces of being smashed by the Japanese army.

Zhou Xiang sighed slightly, then lifted the lid and climbed out of the cellar, tiptoed around the wall, walked all the way to the front, leaned straight and looked, and there was no one in front of him. On the street, however, there were still a few bursts of gunfire.

She breathed a sigh of relief, Fang turned around and opened the lid of the cellar and said to the shopkeeper: "The Japanese have left, you guys come out, see if you can escape from the city, if not, you have to find a place to hide for a while." ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he hurriedly took Xiao Er to climb out of it one by one and said, "What about you, brother?" Won't you come with us? ”

Zhou Xiang shook his head: "If we can go out of the city, we can go along the way." If we can't get out of the city, I'm afraid we'll have to go our separate ways. ”

They met at the time of the disaster, and although they knew each other very late, they became very close after this accident. The shopkeeper saw that she was not very tall, and she was not strong, although she was bold, she spoke very Sven, not like an ordinary person, so he said: "Brother is alone, it is inevitable that it is dangerous to walk outside, and if there is one more person, you will take care of it more, or act with us." The world outside is so chaotic, the Japanese say that they will come in if they come in, and they will meet it wherever they can't keep it. ”

He still can't believe that the Japanese will break into his home, looking at the debris and debris on the ground, he can't stop crying bitterly and said: "The hostel that our family has inherited for three generations is about to be destroyed in my hands, this dog/day devil." ”

Zhou Xiang also felt very sorry for him, but when it came to Japanese soldiers, she always felt very strange in her heart.

Huludao opened the door to thieves had already surprised her, but when she turned around, the Japanese came, and the two things were connected, as if the city gate was open for the Japanese army.

However, what did the defenders of Huludao do when they led the Japanese army into the city?

And those gunshots outside, what's going on?

Her thoughts were in a mess for a while, and the shopkeeper saw her standing still, and when she heard her words, she said again: "Now I am reluctant to give up, and there is nothing of value in the Hengzhu family, why don't we take advantage of the chaos to escape from the city?" ”

Zhou Xiang glanced at the street outside along the crack in the door, except for a few people in the distance, there was no other movement, so he also said: "Okay, I'll play the striker, you follow me, if there is any case, everyone will take care of their own lives." ”

"Okay." The shopkeeper nodded, tied the burden tightly on his back, and followed Zhou Xiang step by step.

A group of three or four people went out at night, and the street lamps on the street may have been hit by guns, and the covers were shattered, but this was a cover for their whereabouts.

Zhou Xiang and the others walked all the way forward, and halfway through, the shopkeeper behind him saw that there was no big problem, so he pulled her sleeve and said: "Brother, you are an outsider, you are not familiar with the road in the city, I am a local, I know that there is a small road that leads to the city gate, you better follow me." And as he spoke, the man flashed and went ahead.

Zhou Xiang didn't have time to stop him, so he had to follow him into a deep alley, twisting and turning, as if he couldn't go to the end no matter how he walked.

Zhou Xiang was afraid that he had made a mistake, and he wanted to ask him several times, but seeing that the store was very familiar with it, he was afraid that he would think too much, so he had no choice but to keep going.

Fortunately, after walking for less than half an hour, the shopkeeper finally spoke: "It's almost there, turn this alley, and there is the city gate in front of you." ”

Zhou Xiang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly looked up ahead, and at the moment of turning the intersection, he saw a ray of bright light reflected from the alley, shining brightly, almost dazzling people's eyes.

Zhou Xiang was shocked, and hurriedly opened his mouth to call the shopkeeper: "Don't go forward, there is an army in front." ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, half of his body was already out of the alley.

The man who was guarding the entrance of the alley saw him in the bright light, and immediately shouted and squeaked and ran towards the alley.

The shopkeeper unexpectedly went out to see such a picture, half of his body was paralyzed with fright, Zhou Xiang stretched out his hand to pull him back, but heard two gunshots, and the shopkeeper running in front of her seemed to be a landslide, falling suddenly, leaving only two black rumbling muzzles behind him, gurgling out with blood.

Zhou Xiang was so frightened that he lost his voice, and he was about to go forward to see the store again, but Xiao Er behind him exclaimed and ran away: "Murder, murder!" ”

She was awakened by Xiao Er, heard the footsteps getting closer and closer, looked at the corpse of the shopkeeper with tears, and had to run back with Xiao Er.
