Ren Laifeng was busy from dark to dawn alone, and spent the whole night digging a big hole in his yard. This is also where the trench-digging technique learned in the outer positions of Texas comes in handy. The whole family was wrapped in a quilt one by one and carefully put into the pit to bury it, and a long bench was taken to remove the legs as a tombstone. The top carved a slip of words with a bayonet: The curtain of the Ren family. The lower head is embellished with the descendants of the Ren family.

After the affairs of his own family are dealt with, there are still so many people in the whole village, no matter how young Ren Laifeng is, there is only one person, and he doesn't know how many days it will take to finish the work of burying hundreds of people. But if you don't let the villagers settle down, can you let these blind dates and violent corpses of the same village and clan be in broad daylight?

After thinking about it, I finally had an idea. After finding a trolley in the village, Ren Laifeng found the corpses of the villagers one by one and pulled them all to the threshing floor, which was a spacious place. After putting the corpses in order, he went to each house to collect lamp oil, and he prepared to give the villagers a collective cremation.

These days, lamp oil is a valuable thing. After searching the whole village, I only found a few bottles, and it was obviously not enough for so many people. Ren Laifeng went to each house again, moved some tables, chairs, benches, brooms, baskets and other burning things, placed them around the corpses, poured lamp oil and lit them with matches, and the flames suddenly covered the entire threshing floor.

Looking at the flames that were burning more and more, Ren Laifeng sat in a daze, and his mind just repeated over and over again the happy times with his family when he first came to this world. The fire burned for two days, and Ren Laifeng also sat on the edge of the fire for two days. For two days he did not eat, drink, or move his place, like a dead man. It wasn't until two days later that the fire gradually went out, and Ren Laifeng seemed to come back to life.

Ren Laifeng, who stood up again, although this face was still sixteen years old, his eyes were already full of vicissitudes, and there were sporadic silver strands between his black hair.

After the fire was extinguished, a layer of grayish-white substance was left on the ground, which was ashes. Ren Laifeng dug a small pit on the threshing floor and buried the ashes in the pit. Set up a sign to write which year, month, and day, and how many villagers were buried here by the Japanese invaders.

After doing this, Ren Laifeng let out a sigh of relief as if he had lost a burden, washed his face, took his gun and strode out of the village. The large army retreated south, and Ren Laifeng hurried south to pursue his troops.

From Dezhou to Yucheng, about 70 kilometers, there is a Jinpu line in the middle. If you went to Yucheng a few days ago, you could still take the train, but now the train can only exist in the imagination. Two days ago, the Japanese invaders basically occupied Texas, and the Texas Railway Station was undoubtedly the top priority, but now it has long fallen into the hands of the Japanese. Ren Laifeng went there to take the train purely for himself. You can't take the train, so you have to walk!

Just like the good soldier Shuai Ke written in the book, Ren Laifeng carried his luggage and a gun on his back and embarked on the road south to find the troops.

Along the way, he has met refugees, Japanese criminals, and of course, **. Although the two-day journey was full of twists and turns, Ren Laifeng still successfully reached the barracks on the outskirts of Yucheng with his tenacious will, and after leaving for a week, he returned to his troops.

"Ren Laifeng is back?"

"Oops, it's really a little wind back!"

When the comrades-in-arms saw Ren Laifeng, some were surprised, some were curious, and more were looking at him with a strange gaze, and they looked at Ren Laifeng inexplicably. "What about the smoking gun? Where's the bong? "When I returned to the barracks but didn't see the smoking gun, Ren Laifeng's heart sank, could it be that the old smoking gun didn't come back?

The answer he got from his comrades made Ren Laifeng breathe a sigh of relief, and the smoking gun came back two days ago, because he had to report on the battle of the Texas defenders, the smoking gun went to the regimental headquarters and was temporarily not in the squad. I went to the regiment headquarters for two days and didn't come back? Although this answer is a bit outrageous, after all, the life of the smoking gun is worry-free, and Ren Laifeng always does not have to worry about the safety of veterans.

"Ren Laifeng, do you still know to come back? Where have you been these days? Just when Ren Laifeng was talking cordially with his comrades-in-arms, an unpleasant and familiar voice sounded, it was squad leader Zhao Yongsheng.

After Ren Laifeng experienced the pain of extermination, he no longer paid attention to the small difficulties of the squad leader, how can he say that this is also a comrade-in-arms in the trenches, what is a little contradiction? Thinking about this layer, Ren Lai stood up and raised his hand to salute the squad leader, "Squad leader, I'm back." I went home these days, and it turned out that my family was ......."

"Let the wind blow! Did you know that this is the army? Did you know that the army has discipline? The squad leader directly interrupted Ren Laifeng's explanation, pointed to his nose and reprimanded him sharply: "You are a soldier, not a common man!" If you dare to leave the army without an order, and leave for several days, if you are not punished, you will never know the military regulations and military discipline! Come on, put Ren Laifeng in the confinement room! ”

When the squad leader roared angrily, the soldiers in the squad hid far away, but none of them came when he called out. In the end, the squad leader was annoyed, so he simply designated someone directly, "Wang Erniu, you put Ren Laifeng in a confinement room!" ”

Wang Erniu, whose name sounds like a sexy girl, is actually a black and strong Hebei man, I don't know what his father and mother thought at the beginning, so she gave him a boy's name as a girl. This Wang Erniu is also strange, they have grown so big, he doesn't say to change his name, and continues to use this feminine name.

Wang Erniu has a big shoulder, a round waist, a short neck, and a thick neck, and she doesn't look like a good person, but she is a first-class honest. Hearing the squad leader's order, he immediately asked the situation with a bitter face: "Squad leader, where is the confinement room?" ”

"Stupid! Wouldn't you find yourself without a confinement room? The annoyed squad leader pointed at Wang Erniu with his hand and roared angrily, "That tree is a confinement room, take him to the bottom of the tree, you look at it with a gun, and you are not allowed to leave the old elm tree without an order!" If you dare to ask me knowingly, Lao Tzu will shut you up too! Just go! ”

Now it's Wang Erniu's turn to be embarrassed, this black strong man looked at Ren Laifeng with an embarrassed face, pouted his lips and wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, "Ren Laifeng, look, why don't we go over by ourselves?" "Is there such a guard? Did you go into the confinement room and discuss it with the detainees?

"Just go." Ren Laifeng had never been confined, but he had heard in his previous life that the confinement room was a small room, and it could not be under the old elm tree. "Squad Leader Zhao, how long are you going to lock me up, you have to give me a clear word, right?"

"I'll lock you up for as long as I want, what do you want to understand? Take! Zhao Yongsheng waved his hand impatiently, and Wang Erniu looked at Ren Laifeng helplessly again.
