Perhaps it was because he was afraid that he would step into the ambush circle of the Eighth Route Army when he pursued Mo Tianliu and Yang Chao and others, or maybe he felt that it was more secure to wrap the Eighth Route Army in the encirclement steadily......

No one spoke, everyone just ran wild under the leadership of Mo Tianliu and Yang Chao. Except for the martial arts team members who served as the rearguard, who reported from time to time that there were no pursuers behind them with brief passwords, only heavy footsteps could be heard in the team of more than 100 people.

Raising his eyes and looking at the mountain road shrouded in twilight, Yang Chao, who had always been running beside Mo Tianliu, hesitated for a moment before whispering to Mo Tianliu: "Tianliu, ahead...... It's almost time to Dawu Village......."

raised his head a little dazedly, Mo Tianliu's eyes that were usually smart and abnormal, but at this moment they were all at a loss: "It's here...... Dawu Village? This...... Can't go to Dawu Village...... Can't go......."

Seeing that Mo Tianliu stopped consciously, Yang Chao waved his hand to signal the team to stop, and whispered to Mo Tianliu: "Tianliu, I know....... sacrificed so many comrades, even Sha Bang Qu ....... But there are still so many villagers in Dawu Village, we can't be ......."

Sighing heavily, Mo Tianliu seemed to have aged dozens of years in a moment, and shook his head a little dejectedly: "They are all gone, but I am still alive...... Why didn't I die? Why....... It's not like I'm going to die......."

grabbed Mo Tianliu's arm, and Yang Chao's voice was rarely a little harsh: "The comrades who have sacrificed, the comrades who survived will remember them, and the people will never forget them!" Tianliu, you yourself said that the devils are endless, and they will never seal the knife! Now the devil hasn't been killed yet, not far behind us, and he is about to harm the villagers! Now is not the time for us to be cranky! ”

Perhaps because Yang Chao was in a hurry and his voice had risen a lot, from the side of the mountain road shrouded in twilight in the distance, a slightly shrill question voice suddenly sounded: "Is it Brother Tianliu?" Brother Tianliu, are you back with the team? ”

Looking up in surprise, Mo Tianliu suddenly saw a half-grown man carrying a red tassel gun flashing out from behind a big tree next to the mountain road, jumping and running straight towards him.

Looking at the half-sized boy who was running straight towards him, Mo Tianliu was very surprised and shouted, "Little Niuzi, why did you run out of the village?" And run out so far?! ”

Holding a red tassel gun that was taller than himself, the little cow jumped up and ran in front of Mo Tianliu, and shouted at Mo Tianliu seriously: "Brother Tianliu, you are fighting in the Dysentery Ridge, and the aunts who sent you food have said when they come back, the battle is very fierce!" As soon as the adults in the village summed up, they said that they would not be able to help you for a while, so they could only ask the children's group to put the sentry far away, and the village would have enough things to eat and drink. As long as I can inquire about your news, the village will be able to quickly support what you need! Brother Tianliu, you are back with the team, so hurry back to the village! Let's go......"

Pulling Mo Tianliu's slap, the little cow couldn't help but drag Mo Tianliu towards the mountain road back to the village. And behind Mo Tianliu, Yang Chao also waved silently to greet the team, keeping up with Mo Tianliu's pace......

Stumbling on the mountain road and being dragged by the calf, Mo Tianliu only felt that his steps were getting heavier and heavier. And the little cow who was pulling Mo Tianliu to trot all the way was very excited, and he couldn't walk the Erli Mountain Road, so he stuffed a bamboo whistle into his mouth and blew out a series of crisp sounds.

One after another, the crisp sound of the bamboo whistle spread through the mountain road. With the transmission of the whistle, every time he walked forward for a certain distance, a half-sized man hiding on the side of the mountain road suddenly flashed out from behind the big tree or boulder, and happily ran in front of Mo Tianliu and the others. When the archway at the entrance of Dawu Village was impressive, the half-grown men who ran in front of them were already impatient to shout: "Brother Tianliu is back...... Brother Tianliu is back......."

In the shouting, from behind the archway at the entrance of Dawu Village, a large black crowd immediately poured out, and they greeted Mo Tianliu and the others. Some of the villagers in Dawu Village, who were faster-talking, had not yet walked in front of Mo Tianliu, and the loud shouts of the high gate had already been heard: "Tianliu is back?" My second son? Okay, right? ”

"Embolis...... Big bolt, mom is here......"

"Tianliu, what about my second child? Why haven't you seen my second child? ”

As the crowd pouring out of the village entrance got closer and closer to Mo Tianliu and the others, finally some villagers in Dawu Village noticed the abnormality, and the tone of questioning towards Mo Tianliu gradually revealed a bit of anxiety and sadness.

With a pale face, Mo Tianliu looked at the villagers in Dawu Village who kept asking him about his family, squirming his lips, but he couldn't say a word......

A low choked sob, gradually resounded among the villagers who gathered around. It was only a moment, and the choked voice became a howling voice......

Almost as soon as the howling sound converged into a river, a very cold drink was broken, but it sounded under the archway in Dawu Village: "The strong man went out on the expedition, returned in a bloody battle, the dust was not washed, and the war wounds were not wrapped, but you all just cared about fiddling with this sad and sad family, what kind of system did it become?!" ”

With the sound of the broken shout, the old lady Jiang, who was on jujube wood crutches, had already walked in front of Mo Tianliu along the road that was out of the way in the crowd with the careful support of the housekeeper.

Involuntarily his knees weakened, Mo Tianliu knelt heavily in front of Mrs. Jiang: "Taigong, I ......."

Gently reaching out and touching the top of Mo Tianliu's head, Old Lady Jiang took a slight breath, and then slowly said to Mo Tianliu: "If the crockpot does not break from the well, the general will inevitably ...... Tianliu, my middle school disciple in Dawu Village...... How much is the loss? ”

Raising his head with difficulty, Mo Tianliu replied to the old lady Jiang in a silent voice: "The militia team in Dawu Village, plus the one who originally joined the martial arts team, will come back in total...... Taigong, I can't live with the villagers, I can't take care of ......."

Without waiting for Mo Tianliu to finish speaking, Mrs. Jiang had already preemptively said: "Protect the family and defend the land, die without turning your heels, and the true martyrs are also!" In the ancestral hall of the Jiang family, the spirit of the righteous martyrs should be enshrined forever! God, you get up and ......"

Raising his hand to signal Mo Tianliu to stand up, the old lady Jiang looked around at the many villagers around Mo Tianliu and himself and said: "The Jiang family has always cultivated and read heirlooms, has no grudges with others, and has no quarrel with the world!" However, the Japanese invaded the border, killed my relatives, and destroyed my crops! Such a deep vendetta...... Implacable! From today onwards, and until the day when all the enemies are ambushed, my Jiang clan, when everyone fights bravely, defend the land and chase the Kou! Although the old man is old and faint, he is also willing to be a pawn in the Eighth Route Army! ”

looked at Mrs. Jiang who shouted these words with some surprise, and the housekeeper who was following Mrs. Jiang hesitated slightly, but also let go of his voice and shouted: "The princess is going to fight with Little Japan, I ..... I'm counting one too! ”

Reaching out fiercely to wipe away the tears on his face, a half-sized man crowded in the crowd also shouted in a shrill voice: "My brother is gone...... I'm going to avenge my brother! Count me in, I'm going to fight Japan too! ”

Stamped his foot suddenly, a rather sturdy middle-aged man in the crowd pulled away the woman who was holding his arm tightly, and raised his clenched fist with a roar: "Get out, fight with the devil!" It's a gentleman, stand up! ”

In the roar that sounded one after another, Rulin's arm was raised high in front of Mo Tianliu's eyes......

Busy rushing to take a few steps ahead, Yang Chao greeted Mrs. Jiang and whispered: "Taigong, the villagers have such a high anti-Japanese passion, this is naturally a good thing!" But...... We can't blindly fight with devils! At present, our martial arts team is back in Dawu Village, mainly to replenish some weapons and ammunition stored in Dawu Village, and then ...... with the devils."

Waving his hand slightly towards Yang Chao, Mrs. Jiang said to Yang Chao in a harmonious voice: "As soon as the grain and ammunition are ready, they are already ready to stop!" If you want to recruit soldiers, I will be in Dawu Village, Ding Zhuang, just go there! ”

"But that's ...... It's too dangerous! The militia members in Dawu Village have basically fought out in this battle! If the untrained villagers are recruited into the army, won't it make the villagers sacrifice in vain? Taigong, this is really unacceptable! ”

Slowly turning around, Mrs. Jiang raised her hand and pointed towards the archway at the entrance of the village: "Yang family descendants, take a look, what is that?" ”

Looking in the direction pointed out by Mrs. Jiang, Yang Chao's eyes suddenly widened in surprise - behind the archway at the entrance of Dawu Village, hundreds of coffins were neatly arranged.

Holding the jujube cane in his hand, Mrs. Jiang turned around tremblingly and walked towards the location of the archway at the entrance of the village: "There was a famous general Pang De in ancient times, carrying the coffin and fighting Emperor Guan." Although he was captured by Emperor Guan because of the high waves, he also had to be respected by Emperor Guan for his fortitude and might, and his name did not fall despite his death! Now...... In the bloody battle with the Japanese invaders, the armor is not as sharp as it, the grain is not as rich as it, and the soldiers are not as many as it. ”

Before Yang Chao could speak, Old Lady Jiang had already said to herself: "Don't be afraid of death!" ”

"As the old saying goes, the people are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death! If I am in the land of Yanzhao, the people are not afraid of death, even if the Japanese are stubborn, what can I do? Now my Jiang clan imitates the ancient warriors and fights with coffins. One person was killed, and ten returned; Hundreds of people died, and thousands of people fought bravely. If I am the land of China, everywhere, just Japan, but a small country, how can I be the anger of China and hundreds of millions of people? ”

"Originally, I thought that by following the peach blossom source written by Yuan Lianggong (Tao Yuanming) and living in the mountains, I could seek a pure life, but I was ...... Is it that the old man thinks badly....... The Yang family is born later, and in this life, I am afraid that I will not be able to see the peaceful world depicted by Yuan Lianggong. Children and grandchildren, whether the world can be peaceful or not, it will all be entrusted to you descendants......"
