Chapter 88: The Whereabouts of the Villagers of Chenjia Village

Chen Aiguo listened to Huzi's question, and he was also very worried in his heart, but he couldn't care about it at this time. His team of thirty people went out, and only thirteen came back alive, and there were three minor injuries and two serious injuries. What's more, don't think about it, the mountains and forests in front of you must be full of Japanese soldiers.

Sasaki Taro is also a fierce person, this clean-up operation, his subordinates have died a lot, and the most important thing is that he has not caught the people of Chenjia Village, the anger in his heart must be suffocated, who knows what kind of vicious things this person will do in addition to setting fire to the mountain?

The more Chen Aiguo thought about it, the more anxious he became, and it seemed that he had to hurry back to the station to report the matter to the captain and instructor to see if there were any preventive measures! Because of Huzi's words, Chen Aiguo made everyone speed up.

Xiao Ju guessed from the conversation between these two people that the Japanese soldiers who came to Chenjia Village this time were not as simple as the capture of Ding as Patriarch Chen said, but he did not make a sound, and at the same time secretly warned himself in his heart that after arriving at the station of these people, he should listen more, talk less, ask less and watch less, after all, this is an extraordinary time.

Although Chen Aiguo and his subordinates did not have the slightest suspicion of their own family, it didn't mean that Chen Aiguo's teammates in the station were also like this? If there is any misunderstanding caused at that time, and he is killed on the charge of being a traitor, it will be really wronged! The most important thing is that traitors have a reputation for generations!

The further you go in, the more difficult the mountain road becomes, and there are no roads at all in some places, and I don't know how Chen Aiguo and those people know that they are going there, but in this way, there is no need to worry about those Japanese soldiers being able to find them.

Because the road was difficult to walk, Zhuang Zhuang had already climbed onto Liu Zhu's back, and Xiao Ju did not stay by Chen Aiguo and Huzi anymore, but went to take care of Xiao Ju Niang.

Xiaoju's family retreated, and where did Bao's family, who had fled behind Xiaoju's family, go? According to Old Man Jiang's idea, he wants to die on Xiaoju's family.

If the other person doesn't want to go with them anymore, that's fine, just follow the other person. Anyway, the road is everyone's. The other party can't stop them from leaving, right?

From his point of view, Xiaoju's family is not simple, in his heart, he always feels that in this chaotic day, a woman with two children, although followed by a young man who claims to be his younger brother, but look at the man's simple appearance. How can he not be like a person who can protect this woman and children so nourished!

He Yuanyuan agrees with his father-in-law's opinion, although Grandma Zhou is not happy, but one person's opinion still can't reverse the overall situation after all.

But when they drove the little donkey full of things and wanted to follow Xiaoju's family, they didn't expect that there was no serious road in the mountains and forests, not to mention that Xiaoju and their speed was many times faster than ordinary people, and they turned three times and two. disappeared from Xiaoju's family.

In desperation, Bao's family had no choice but to follow the villagers of Chenjia Village who came later towards the depths of the mountains and forests. As for Patriarch Chen, he didn't see Xiaoju's family, and he didn't ask much.

After all, the most important thing now is to organize the villagers to evacuate in an orderly manner, and not to fall for the Japanese soldiers' tricks and run away indiscriminately, otherwise, as Captain Liu, the guerrilla who came to respond, said, escaped the mountain fire. He will also be caught by the Japanese soldiers guarding outside the mountain. Or wait until the fire is extinguished. He was captured by the Japanese soldiers who continued to search the mountain.

The fire quickly spread into the recess of the mountain where the villagers were retreating, and clung to the back of the villagers as they fled. Although everyone was very scared, under the command of the people led by the patriarch, they threw away some things that were not used for the time being as much as possible, and tried to light up as much as possible in order to escape from the mountain fires that spread over.

After fleeing for most of the day, the mountain fire still followed closely behind the villagers, and even the patriarch Chen was a little depressed, it seemed that the Chen family village was going to die every day. Although he did not die under the sword of the Japanese soldiers, he died under the fire of the mountain that the clear-eyed person knew at a glance that it was the masterpiece of the Japanese soldiers.

If I knew this, I should have taken the whole village and those dog days to fight, at least I could make a profit and come back. It's good now, he was burned alive in the mountains and forests, and he died a suffocating death. Patriarch Chen covered his mouth and nose with the wet cloth in his hand, and felt remorseful.

Yes, all the villagers had to cover their mouths and noses with a damp cloth, because with the fire on the heels, the smoke from the mountain had already filled the mountain, and if they didn't cover their mouths and noses with a damp cloth, they would not have been burned to death by the fire, but they would have choked to death by the smoke.

Just when everyone was a little desperate, the smoke in the mountain suddenly faded a lot, and slowly, you could see the figure clearly, and then the shadows around you could also see it clearly.

Everyone was pleasantly surprised, and soon, the person sent by Patriarch Chen to investigate came back and reported: "Patriarch, the wind has turned!" Blown towards the side of the fire! ”

When Patriarch Chen heard the news, he burst into tears on the spot and exclaimed: "The sky has eyes!" It seems that he can't bear to kill the people of my Chenjia Village! When the catastrophe passes, my Chenjia Village will fight to the death with the Japanese soldiers who destroyed my homeland! All the people in Chenjia Village whispered: "Don't die!" Never die! ”

Captain Liu of the first guerrilla team, listening to the oath of the people of Chenjia Village, also felt in his heart: Did these Japanese, who burn, kill, and loot on Chinese soil, never think that this would arouse the anger of the people? Didn't you ever think that the power of the people was terrible?

After Captain Liu sighed in his heart, he was full of joy in his heart, so the day when these Japanese were driven out of China should not be too far away! Then sooner or later the occupied Wuhan will also return to the hands of the Chinese. And they don't have to worry about being slaves. You must know that the instructor of the station often explains and describes the miserable life of the slaves to the team, and no one in the team wants to be a slave.

Different from the joy of the villagers, Bao's family hugged each other and cried together at this time, thinking that they were going to die here, but they didn't expect to escape death in the end. This moment from despair to hope finally broke the last bearing line of several people in the Bao family.

At this time, as soon as she learned that she had finally escaped the fate of being burned to death by a mountain fire, this week her grandmother began to grab Old Man Jiang and cry and scold.

"You old immortal, when the second child of the Jiang family asked you to help the puppet government organize the 'Peacekeeping Self-Defense Force', you insisted that you would not be a traitor, if you agreed at the beginning, how could you flee? Now, look, let's follow you on what day? Grandma Zhou still remembered Patriarch Chen's threats in her heart, and these cries and scolding were not loud.

But when Old Man Jiang heard this, he was startled, and quickly reached out to cover Grandma Zhou's mouth tightly, and scolded in a low voice: "You old woman, you want to kill our family, you roar out like this, you want to be a traitor, a traitor!" Don't bother me and Po! Don't you look at the people around you? I just know that everything will be poured out! You're getting more and more confused! ”

Old man Jiang also regretted it a little at this time, after more than half a year of difficult escape and undignified life, in his heart, it no longer matters whether he betrayed the country or not, what is important is how to live, live well and with dignity.

But in his heart, he thought of the letter from his son Jiang Wei, in which he repeatedly told him not to get involved in the ranks of the Japanese and do things for the Japanese, and sooner or later nothing good would end well.

Old man Jiang sighed in his heart, these days, it is difficult to be patriotic or not, what should I do? It's a pity that I can't get to Beiping, otherwise, the problem would not be a problem. I believe that Weier has been reading books for so many years, and he must have a good countermeasure.

He Yuanyuan didn't have much complaints in his heart at this time, but his heart ached his son, who was almost smoked to death by the smoke just now, and was sad that his life was bitter, and at the same time regretted that he didn't go to Peking to accompany him early, if he listened to his mother's words and went to Peking early to accompany him, instead of staying in his hometown to take care of his in-laws for the so-called filial piety, then Ah Bao would not have so many disasters, and he would not have fled with himself at a young age!

The three adults of the Bao family have three thoughts, and this family has begun to further crack because of these three thoughts. It's just that at this time, they are still hidden in their hearts, except for Grandma Zhou, the other two people did not show it.

Patriarch Chen and Captain Liu discussed it, and agreed that Chenjia Village could not return for the time being, and those Japanese soldiers must still stay in the village and wait for the people in the village to automatically send them to the door. In this way, I had to go to the depths of the mountain forest, according to Captain Liu's construction, and then turn over the mountain in front of me, there is a lake surrounded by mountains, let the villagers first build some shelters on the mountain wall by the lake, and hide for a while.

Patriarch Chen informed the villagers of his plan after discussing with Captain Liu, and no villager had any objections, because everyone knew that if he returned to Chenjia Village now, he would be sent to death. No one wants to die, so naturally they are at the mercy of the patriarch's arrangement.

Soon, the villagers began to be led by Captain Liu's people in an orderly manner, heading towards the lake that Captain Liu said. Bao's family didn't have any ideas at this time, Xiaoju's family didn't know where to go for a long time, they could only follow the villagers of Chenjia Village, otherwise in this mountain forest, even if they were not captured by the Japanese, they would be taken away by wild things in the mountains and forests as food.

Don't look at the lake that Captain Liu said, as long as you climb over this mountain, it is easy to say, and it took these villagers more than a day to really reach the destination. When everyone arrived safely at the lake, they were dazzled by the wild animals on the lake.

Originally, there was no other dazzling scenery in winter except for snow and bare trees, but on the surface of this lake, there were flocks of wild ducks, and the most surprising thing was that the lake was not frozen on such a cold day.

In addition to the wild ducks, the villagers could see schools of fish swimming around through the clear surface of the lake. This made the villagers who escaped the wildfire look forward to the days when they were hiding from the Japanese soldiers. (To be continued......)
