Chapter Twenty-Nine: Out of the Jungle
Xiao Ju felt that her mother's idea was very good, so she didn't mention the matter of going back to Hu Zhuang to investigate, after all, she is only a girl less than seven years old now, and she has not learned the martial arts against the sky, and after meditating for so long, it is just that her strength is a little bigger, the five senses of her body are a little stronger, and her body is a little better, and she doesn't feel much change in others!
You must know that these Japanese who came to arrest Ding all have guns in their hands, could it be that she can run faster than the speed of bullets? What's more, if these Japanese don't catch enough strong men, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not take their anger out on the women and children who are caught, and the ferocity and bloodthirstiness of the Japanese are all recorded in history.
So Xiao Ju took Zhuang Zhuang around the cave every day, and Xiao Ju Niang sometimes came out to see, but she was not like Xiao Ju and Zhuang Zhuang, and would go to those temporary residences from time to time to see. Xiaoju felt that her mother didn't want to meet with those people. Although she was a little puzzled, she didn't go to investigate it in detail!
Zhuang Zhuang was having a good time with Hu Dali and Hu Dazhuang, and it seemed that he no longer cared about what happened some time ago. Now not only is my mother and sister by my side, but I also have fragrant bread to eat every day, and from time to time my sister can also get fried Chinese cabbage and artichoke, he feels very satisfied.
On this day, Xiao Ju took Zhuang Zhuang to play with Hu Dali and Hu Dazhuang, but I didn't expect these two brothers to have a sad look on their faces, Xiao Ju often took Zhuang Zhuang to play with these two brothers, originally also had a certain purpose, at this time I saw their sad faces, and at the same time saw that the adults and men of their family were scolding the Japanese soldiers loudly while cleaning up things, while the women were busy with tears and knew that something must have happened.
So he asked tentatively, "Da Da Zhuang, what's wrong with your family?" β
"My second uncle quietly returned to Huzhuang yesterday, and today he came back and said that our house was burned down by those Japanese soldiers!" Hu Dali unconsciously pulled the grass on the ground with his hands, and said with some annoyance.
"Hmmm! My mom and dad and a few uncles and aunts are packing up and getting ready to go home! According to my second uncle, two-thirds of the houses in the village were burned down by Japanese soldiers! These damn Japanese soldiers, when I grow up, I'll fight the Japanese soldiers! Hu Dazhuang stood aside, kicking the trunk with his foot while saying fiercely.
"Did those Japanese soldiers leave Huzhuang?" Xiao Ju was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly asked.
"Yes! This time, the people in the village were almost hidden, and they may not have caught many dings, so when those Japanese soldiers left, they set a fire in the village! Xiaoju, in the future, our family will be as poor as yours! Hu Dali said with some arrogance.
Xiao Ju listened to Hu Dali's big truth, and felt very uncomfortable, but thinking that the other party was just a child about ten years old, saying this sentence was just doing what he wanted, and there was no irony in it. smiled bitterly and didn't answer again.
Zhuang Zhuang only heard what Hu Dali and Hu Dazhuang said, the Japanese soldiers left and left Hu Zhuang. The thought of being able to leave here and go home made him feel happy. You know, he and his mother, Sister Ah have been in this dense forest for a long time, although they are all staying in the cave, and the hole is also very comfortable by Sister A, but after all, it is dark and not very breathable.
Zhuang Zhuang stretched out his hand to pull Sister A, wanting to go back to his cave immediately and tell SΓΉ Niang the good news, but he didn't expect that at this time, the other four families heard that the second brother of Hu Daqiang's family returned to Hu Zhuang yesterday, so they all rushed to Hu Daqiang's house to inquire about the news. When they heard that two-thirds of the house in the village had been burned down, they all scolded and cried, and hurried back to their own places to pack up their things and go back to see if their homes had also been burned down.
Xiao Ju listened to the crying and scolding in the dense forest, imagined Hu Zhuang who was burned by the fire, and then looked at the Hu Zhuang people who were all dressed in tatters, and sighed, Hu Dali and Hu Dazhuang, who were full of worry and trouble, lowered their heads, and took Zhuang Zhuang's hand back to their own hole.
In Zhuangzhuang's heart, as long as his mother and sister are by his side, and then there is food, other things are not very good for him! What's more, in his heart, he doesn't have any feelings for the people in the village!
When his mother was crazy, he didn't see anyone come to help him, and when he was about to starve to death, no one gave him a mouthful of food, not to mention that when his father was about to sell him, there were so many people in the village at that time, except for his mother, no one said a word to him. Therefore, in his little heart, except for his mother and sister, he doesn't care about other people and things in this world!
So as soon as Zhuang Zhuang returned to the cave, he smiled and said to his mother: "Mother, we can leave here!" Listen to Dali and Da Zhuang, the Japanese soldiers have left Huzhuang! β
"Really?" Xiao Ju Niang also asked with some joy. Originally, they had stayed in that trap for nearly two months and could leave, but they had to stay in the soil cave deep in the dense forest for more than ten days.
Although she eats and drinks, I don't know where Xiao Ju got it from, but seeing that she worries about the food of a family of three every day at a young age, Xiao Ju Niang is more and more sad and distressed with the sobering of her brain and the recovery of her memory.
She remembered that Xiao Ju had told her that she had the ability to change things and conjure them up. And she once dug up a jar of silver dollars, and used those silver dollars to buy a small courtyard in the county town.
After remembering this, I was a little impatient to leave this place. I am also looking forward to my future life. In any case, God still treats her very well, giving her such a smart and capable daughter, and a caring son, as for Hu Daring, he will return to the bridge and return to the road in the future!
The five families who lived in the Tudong of Xiaoju's house were worried about whether Huzhuang's house was burned or the things they had hidden were found and snatched by the Japanese soldiers, so they quickly packed up their things and left the depths of the dense forest.
As for Xiao Ju's family of three, they did not leave with those people, but stayed in the soil cave for another night, and after cleaning up the next morning, they went out of the dense forest unhurriedly.
Unexpectedly, when I was almost out of the dense forest, I met the two families of Peach Blossom and Hu Tian. The two families are hiding in the same place, but Xiao Ju always feels a little inappropriate when she sees these two families. In addition to the sadness on everyone's face, it also seems to make people feel that the sky is falling.
Zhuang Zhuang laughed and called Hu Tian and Peach Blossom, these two people responded listlessly, and followed their adults towards the dense forest with their heads down, not showing a happy smile as they often did when they saw their friends.
Xiao Ju felt a little strange in her heart, and after careful consideration, she finally found that Peach Blossom's father and Hu Tian's father were not there, Tian was quietly walked to the dejected Peach Blossom, stretched out his hand and pulled her, and asked softly, "Why didn't you see your father?" β
As soon as Peach Blossom heard this, the tears couldn't help but fall again, and she choked up: "My father was captured by the Japanese soldiers!" With Hu Tian's father! β
"Could it be that your father didn't hide in the jungle with you?" Xiao Ju asked a little puzzled.
"Woo woo woo originally went into the jungle with us, but halfway through, my father said that there were some things at home that he forgot to pick up, and he was afraid that the Japanese soldiers would see it and take it away, so he went back again! Later, I heard from the people in the same village that when I saw my father running towards the back mountain, he was stopped by the Japanese soldiers, and then he was arrested! Peach Blossom said sadly.
Xiao Ju listened and was silent. She guessed that Hu Tian's father might have been arrested for some reason because he didn't have time to escape into the dense forest in the back mountains. Now these two families are missing a pillar, and it is really hard to say whether they will survive in the future.
