Chapter 30: A Chance Encounter with the Dead
It was dawn when Zhu Ge arrived in Yangjia Town, and the Eighth Route Army guarding the entrance of the town had seen Zhu Ge, and directly brought people to Company Commander Liu, who had just gotten up.
"Mr. Zhu, what's wrong with you?"
Liu Dashan looked at Zhu Ge, who was soaked, his face was pale, and he was embarrassed, and his heart was full of doubts.
"Company Commander Liu, it's a long story, can you bother to find clothes to change into first."
"Okay, come in."
Liu Dashan was strong, and his clothes Zhu Ge couldn't wear them, so he had to find a platoon commander of a similar figure to borrow a military uniform and change it in. Zhu Ge felt that he was suddenly in a lot of energy, and his joy was beyond words.
"Yikes!" As soon as Red Sleeves heard that Zhu Ge was coming, he freshened up and hurriedly came over, and when he entered the house, he saw Zhu Ge standing there in a military uniform, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "Mr. Zhu, you ...... It's so pretty! ”
Red Sleeves said with a red face.
"Red-sleeved girl." Zhu Ge nodded, as if he had said hello.
"Mr. Zhu, it's too appropriate for you to wear a military uniform, company commander, or let Mr. Zhu join directly. Didn't you say you wanted him to be our instructor! ”
"This ......" Liu Dashan looked at the red sleeves in embarrassment, "Although we even have the position of the instructor been vacant, we need someone to fill in, and I also hope that Mr. Zhu can stay, but the instructor is going to send someone from above, I think otherwise, I will make a report to the head of the regiment and see what he says." ”
"No, no," Zhu Ge hurriedly waved his hand, "Company Commander Liu, I am really incompetent in the next place, let alone ...... I want to go to the county seat first. ”
Although he successfully escaped, the bandit leader went down the mountain to fight the puppet army for him, and if he didn't inquire about the situation last night, he would definitely have trouble sleeping, not to mention, along the way, his heart had been faintly uneasy, and he always felt that something would happen.
"It's okay, while you go to the county seat, I will report to the regiment, and you can wait for my good news in the county seat with peace of mind, how about it?"
Zhu Ge actually couldn't hide his excitement in his heart, he was a literati, and if a literati wanted to serve the country, he had to use the way of a literati, although he didn't know the specific work of a teacher, but there was only a word difference between a teacher and a teacher, and if he could do a good job as a teacher, it would not be difficult for a teacher.
Zhu Ge had lunch and was about to change into his clothes and go on the road, when he heard someone running into the yard in a hurry, he knew that in such a critical period, something must have happened, so he hurriedly ran out and followed him to the gate of the commander of the high company.
"Company commander, the county town came to report, saying that more than 1,000 puppet troops arrived in Wuji Town last night, and the bandits in Wuji Mountain set up an ambush and killed half of them!"
"Good!" Liu Dashan slapped the table and was happy, Zhu Ge, who was hiding outside the door, let out a sigh of relief, turned around and was about to leave, when he heard the man coming: "But the remaining puppet army attacked Wuji Mountain, wiped out the entire cottage, killed everyone, and was showing the public in the courtyard of Wuji Town." ”
"What?! Fuck these grandchildren! ”
Zhu Ge didn't hear what the people in the room said, he only felt as if he had been stabbed suddenly, straight into his heart.
He pushed open the door in a panic, grabbed the arm of the signal soldier, and asked anxiously, "Are they all dead?" Are they all dead? ”
The signal soldier was stunned and replied, "Listen...... I heard that there was not even a single one alive on the mountain. ”
Zhu Ge took two steps back and sat down on the stool.
What a sin he has done! The entire cottage was destroyed, more than a hundred people were killed, and there were so many children, all because of their own lies?
He still remembered the majestic roar in the courtyard before Wu Gong went down the mountain: "Teach, wait for Lao Tzu to come back......"
I didn't expect it to be the last sentence.
He stood up on the table, walked back to the room, locked the door, and lay on the bed, his eyes blank, but his head was full and about to explode.
All this ...... They all blame themselves for being too selfish.
If you want to kill devils, you can't do it yourself, so you force others to do it, why bother?
It's all because that bastard listened to his lies and led people to war, so he got into trouble......
He Zhu Ge had never felt that he was so bad, he felt that he was a heinous person, he thought of Tie Dan and the children, he thought of the veterinarian, the second master, the little six sons, the beard, and ...... That bastard, tears welled up in his eyes.
He hoped that that person would be punished for what he had done, but the cost of the total annihilation was too great, and he Zhu Ge couldn't bear the torture of so many unjust souls!
No way!
Mr. Teaching got up suddenly, wiped away his tears and rushed out the door.
He had to go back, back to the town of Wuji to have a look. He owes more than 100 lives to the bandits on Wuji Mountain, and even if he loses his life, he has to bury more than 100 corpses.
He changed into his clothes, ran to the stable, took out a horse, snatched the hand of a nearby warrior, and galloped away in the direction he had come.
The person who was robbed reacted and hurried to find the company commander, Liu Dashan heard that something was going to happen, and beckoned a few people to chase after him.
The closer he got to Wuji Mountain, the more uncomfortable Zhu Ge's heart became, and he grabbed the reins, slowed down, and prepared to swim the river.
Several soldiers chased after him, and when they saw him in the water, they didn't know why.
"Comrades, please go back, I know the road below, I just want to go back and see."
"Mr. Zhu Ge, now there are hundreds of puppet soldiers, and they are loaded with guns and live ammunition in Wuji Town, it is too dangerous for you to go like this."
"It's just that there are some things that haven't settled down well, so I'll go back as soon as I go, so let's go back first."
After persuading a few soldiers, Zhu Ge went into the water and ran all the way to the back of Wuji Mountain.
There was silence in the cottage, not even the sound of birds.
He entered the martial arts room, and it was still the same as when he left, it seemed that there was still the smell of the bandit's body, and there were large blood stains on the sheets, Zhu Ge felt that the blood stains were very eye-catching, and he must have been injured during the night raid......
He reached out to touch the bloodstain, but the outstretched hand hesitated for a long time, but still took it back. What qualifications does he have...... This blood is due to him.
The conference hall was smashed into a mess, the puppet army took away the tiger skin of martial arts, and the tables, chairs and benches were smashed unsightly.
There was blood and shrenchel everywhere, and the smell of gunsmoke filled the air.
There were no people, not even horses, just stumps and severed arms, and corpses that could not be carried away from the flesh and blood of the bomb.
Who are the bandits? These brutes who kill their fellow citizens! Zhu Ge clenched his fists, they are the real bandits, the real big bastards!
The stone road up the mountain was blown up, and Zhu Ge followed the bloodstains all the way down the mountain.
When he was beaten by martial arts, Zhu Ge's glasses were broken, although his eyes could see clearly, a little farther away, but they were still a little blurry, and he saw someone at the entrance of the town from a distance.
"What for?" Several puppet soldiers who set up checkpoints stopped Zhu Ge.
"Oh, sir, I'm the mayor of this town, I went to visit relatives yesterday, I didn't know that the official entered the town, and I couldn't entertain you, I'm really sorry."
When several people heard that it was the mayor of the town, their attitude was so good, they were immediately defenseless, and one of them directly patted Zhu Ge's shoulder and said with a smile: "Let's go, take you to see our head of the regiment." ”
"Good ......" Zhu Gewei followed behind the puppet army and entered Wuji Town.
Both sides of the road were originally places where vendors set up stalls, but now, all of them are corpses, and Zhu Ge recognizes that these are all brothers on Wuji Mountain.
His eyes stared hard, recognizing his familiar faces, he tried his best to keep his face tight, and he couldn't hold back from crying, he saw the second master, one of his legs was blown off, and he saw the children with blurred flesh and blood......
Zhu Ge's heart was stabbed by these dead souls one by one, stabbing his heart with blood.
Where is he? That bastard. Zhu Ge looked at them one by one, and there was no martial arts.
He hoped that there was not, at least there was a glimmer of hope, maybe he wasn't dead, maybe he had escaped......
Until the compound of the security team, Zhu Ge didn't see martial arts, no iron eggs, and no veterinarians, and he suddenly had more hope in his heart, maybe they weren't blown into pulp, maybe they ...... They ran away?
Zheng Liang is studying a map of the county. He took the initiative to apply for this route and planned to break through the county seat as soon as possible, because he remembered that the most important person in his heart was there.
"Chief, the mayor of this town is back."
Zheng Liang turned his head.
The person with a pale face but still unable to hide his bookish air, his eyes full of fear but still righteous and awe-inspiring, the person he was still thinking about just now, appeared in front of him.
"Zhu Ge?!" He was never so happy to have eliminated the bandits in the entire Wuji Mountain.
"Zheng Liang!?" He didn't believe that the initiator of all this turned out to be his classmate, his best friend.
"How could it be you?" Zheng Liang stepped forward quickly and hugged the person in front of him, "You have lost weight." He hugged Zhu Ge tightly.
"Let it go." Calm, angry. This is the emotion that Zheng Liang heard from the voice of the person in his arms.
"You go out first." Retreating from everyone in the room, Zheng Liang pulled Zhu Ge to sit down.
Zhu Ge did not move.
"Zhu Ge, what's wrong?"
"Zheng Liang, you actually became a puppet army?"
Zheng Liang walked to the door, listened to the movement outside the door, raised his hand and locked the door.
"Zhu Ge, you know best what kind of person I am, I, Zheng Liang, will never give my life to the Japanese."
Zhu Ge looked at his former classmates and friends, who had eaten and lived together for four years, he knew him, and he also believed that Zheng Liang was not a person who could do such a thing as betraying the country and seeking glory. But he couldn't believe all this in front of him.
"You're the mayor of Wuji now?" Zheng Liang saw Zhu Ge's suspicions and planned to take it step by step.
"Acting Mayor. The previous mayor died because of me. Zhu Ge waited for Zheng Liang to explain.
"Well, the people of this town, I haven't moved a bit, and I won't move."
"What are those more than 100 corpses on the road?!
"That's a group of bandits on Wuji Mountain, they attacked my team in the middle of the night and killed hundreds of me, I taught them a lesson, and I also gave the people a breath. Zhu Ge, they are really bandits. Zheng Liang saw that Zhu Ge was angry, and hurriedly explained, "By the way, I also handed over a good tiger skin on the mountain, and I plan to go to the county seat to give it to you as a gift, I remember that you have cold legs in winter, and you can just use it." ”
"You ......" Zhu Ge patted the case, "That's more than a hundred lives, and there are children in it!" Zheng Liang, how did you do it? ”
"I didn't know there was a child, I found it while carrying the body. Why are you so excited, they are bandits who harm people, don't you also hate bandits when you go to school, they rob houses and houses, and make people's lives miserable......"
"You bury the body." Zhu Ge weakly interrupted Zheng Liang's words.
"Why?"
"They're just as good as you, my friends."
