? The gunfire had already stopped for a while, and in the mountains and forests where the gunshots were still loud just now, in addition to the slight mountain wind blowing at this time, there was the smoke of gunpowder and the intention of killing that had not yet dissipated. A breeze blew, and the thatch at a corner of the mountain road was blown low, revealing the muzzle of a black hole. After half a firing the muzzle of the gun swished away, and then the sound of a rope sounded in the thatch, the sound of something scurrying through the thatch, and it was not small.

"Sir, they're leaving" A submachine gunner with a steel helmet full of thatch slipped down the dirt slope with a sweaty face, and the place where Zhao Zhi stayed was a big pit, a big pit overgrown with thatch and shrubs, and at this time the old cannon and Zhao Zhi and a few of them were hiding in this big pit. Although there were a lot of insects, locusts, and poisonous snakes, it was better than running out to die, and the two wooden boxes were placed together, and the wounded Zhao Zhi and another submachine gunner were sitting on the wooden boxes, while the old cannon and the others were standing on the ground and enduring the bites of mosquitoes and locusts.

"Go up, go up quickly, Lao Tzu's blood is about to be sucked dry" As soon as the old cannon heard that the enemy had withdrawn, he immediately carried Zhao Zhi on his back and took the lead to climb up. "Look at each other, don't let that grasshopper get into the crotch of his pants" Put Zhao Zhi on the mountain road, the old cannon hurriedly stripped off his military uniform, and grabbed the locusts on his body with others. Originally, the thick American-style military uniform and high-waisted military boots could resist the bites of mosquitoes and locusts, but everyone had been engaged with the enemy for half a day, and the military uniforms on their bodies had already been hung by rocks and branches.

The old artillery found a slightly higher place and looked vigilantly at the mountain road and the nearby mountains and forests with binoculars, and the Japanese troops who came to ambush were indeed withdrawn, leaving only scattered bullet shells and gunpowder smoke that had not yet dispersed on the mountain road. However, Mazi and Lao Wu, who volunteered to stay behind to block the enemy army, disappeared. "Go and find it, go now" An ominous premonition came to his heart, the old cannon went crazy, and arched into the grass and bushes with his gun, eagerly looking for Mazi and Lao Wu, who wanted to see the corpse alive and saw people, and the direct company never left his own people alone.

"Sir, sir, come and see" An exclamation sounded at the bend in the mountain road ahead, and a submachine gunner waved the submachine gun in his hand desperately over there, looking at him as if he had found something. The old cannon with a few blood paths hanging from the bush branches on his face ran over like crazy, and the submachine gunner's voice was something that anyone could hear, and even Zhao Zhi followed the old cannon with the support of others.

"Damn Japanese" Zhao Zhi's face began to distort, and the pain in his body was far less than the pain in his heart, and two mounds suddenly appeared in front of him, which were new soil. Zhao Zhi clearly remembered that when they retreated from here, there were no two mounds here, and at this time, there were two rough wooden planks inserted in front of the mound, which were made of temporary knife cutting, and it was these two rough wooden planks that made Zhao Zhi's face distorted, because the two ugly wooden planks were written with several big characters in blood red ---- Tomb of the Warriors of China.

"Plop" Zhao Zhi sat on the ground, his eyes were straight and his sockets were full of moisture, "Dig it up for me, Lao Tzu wants to see what is buried underneath?" Dig up" After just a pause, Zhao Zhi stood up, pointed at the mound frantically and shouted, and the corners of his trembling mouth had begun to ooze a trace of blood. The fishy sweet blood had already gushed into his throat, and he was swallowed by the stubborn Zhao Zhisheng, but the trace of blood that appeared at the corner of his mouth had already betrayed him.

The old cannon, who had always been brave, was already stupid at this time, and after seeing the blood line at the corner of Zhao Zhi's mouth, he suddenly woke up and threw himself on the mound of dirt with his hands frantically. Tears kept flowing out of the old cannon's eyes, the ten fingers of his hands were bloody due to the constant digging of the soil, and the palms of his hands were marked with blood by small stones in the soil and broken bush branches, but the old cannon did not make any sound, because the mound had not been picked up, and he also wanted to know what was buried under the mound.

Zhao Zhi sat on the ground in a daze, and sat on the ground like this and looked at the old cannon, the only dog leg by his side at the moment. The mound was finally picked up by Lao Cannon and others, through the gap in the thatch under the mound, the old cannon covered in dirt stared at the corpses of Mazi and Lao Wu, who were covered in blood but still tried to open their eyes. "Brother, brother, I shouldn't have let you stay, I'll take you back, let's go" Lao Pao whispered tremblingly, leaned over and took out the bodies of Mazi and Lao Wu from the shallow pit.

"Clean them up, my brother Zhao Zhi, even if he dies, he will be clean" A kettle was thrown at the feet of Lao Cannon, it was Zhao Zhi's kettle, it was their last pot of water. Lao Cannon was very surprised that he didn't talk back to Zhao Zhi for the first time, just silently picked up the kettle, tore off a strip of cloth from his military uniform, dipped it in water, and wiped their lifeless faces, bloodstained hands and all the bare skin outside the military uniform for Mazi and Lao Wu.

I don't know how long I sat like this, until some cat-waisted figures appeared on the mountain road in front of me, and it wasn't until the sad cry echoed over the entire mountain that Zhao Zhi finally determined that Mazi and Lao Wu were indeed ...... Let's go! The cold corpses of Mazi and Lao Wu fell to the ground, on the ground in front of Zhao Zhi. Lao Cannon and a few other soldiers collapsed to the ground crying, and even the machetes and daring fruits who rushed to answer them were all miserable.

Still being carried on the back by the old cannon, Zhao Zhi was silent with a blank face, just lying on the back of the old cannon so honestly, his unusualness made the old cannon and the machete a little overwhelmed, after all, the trace of blood at the corner of Zhao Zhi's mouth had not been wiped off. The procession walking on the mountain road was a little dull, except for the occasional sound of people falling and deliberately suppressed cries of pain, there was no other sound, and the whole army walked through the mountains and forests like a ghost.

Sitting in the corner of the cave, Zhao Zhi still looked sluggish, the wounds on his body had been bandaged, but Zhao Zhi was still very painful and distressed. The bodies of Mazi and Lao Wu had already been carried back, and the careful Daguo brought water, and the older uncle washed the bodies of Mazi and Lao Wu and put them on two neat-looking military uniforms, which were stripped from the other brothers. For the sake of his own robes, not to mention military uniforms, even his life can be taken.

Originally, they were going to be cremated before nightfall, but Zhao Zhi was unwilling, he had to keep them for one night and wait until dawn tomorrow before cremation. At this time, Zhao Zhi sat in front of their corpses, Zhao Zhi didn't want to make himself so miserable, but he couldn't pretend not to see the corpses of Mazi and Lao Wu, especially the brothers who died in battle to cover themselves.

Uncle Guo and they dodged and walked around more than ten meters away from Zhao Zhi, they were not idle and had nothing to do, they were just worried that Zhao Zhi would vomit blood again, and his current physical condition was very dangerous. The old cannon covered with the smell of sweat and blood was forcibly pulled away by Yan Shijun to wash up, and there was a Zhao Zhi who was already very annoying to everyone, if this strong man in the Northeast was added, it would not be enough to toss everyone to death.

A deliberately light footsteps came into Zhao Zhi's ears, different from Uncle Guo's big opening and closing when they walked, this step was very light, and only one person who walked like this in the cave --- dared. At this time, Dangguo was carrying a lunch box and greeting Uncle Guo, and Dangguo was here to deliver food to Zhao Zhi, which was also what Uncle Guo meant. Especially at a time like now, when Zhao Zhi is injured, it is best to have someone by his side.

"You, let's eat" A lunch box stretched out in front of Zhao Zhi, and in the steaming lunch box was half a box of egg custard, and I didn't know where Daguo got more than a dozen bird eggs, and the egg custard with wild vegetables smelled very fragrant, but Zhao Zhi had no appetite. couldn't bear to refuse the kindness of Daguo, Zhao Zhi took the lunch box and put it aside, "I'm not hungry, have you eaten?" Would you like to sit with me for a while? Zhao Zhi's gentle tone made Daguo's heart feel a lot more steady, smiled, and sat down against Zhao Zhi.

"They are all my good brothers" Zhao Zhi looked at Mazi and Lao Wu who were lying on the ground, the tears in his eyes finally flowed, and he let out a long breath silently. When she came, Uncle Guo specially looked for her and asked her to make Zhao Zhi cry no matter what, only when she cried, the anger in Zhao Zhi's chest would dissipate, otherwise, Zhao Zhi would vomit blood again. Seeing that Zhao Zhi's tears finally flowed out, he was secretly happy, this is a good start, at least Zhao Zhi will not vomit blood.

Zhao Zhi lowered his head, his shoulders kept shaking, he was crying, crying silently. Daguo was a little overwhelmed, so he simply opened his arms and took Zhao Zhilan in his arms, this man who never complained in the face of the Japanese army was as fragile as a child at this time. Daguo didn't look down on Zhao Zhi in the slightest, but in her heart she was a little happy, she finally saw the fragile side of this man, which shows that this man didn't treat him as an outsider, at least now.

"You go and bring me a cigarette" Zhao Zhi, who cried in Kangguo's arms for a while, was a little embarrassed and wanted to find an excuse to avoid Kangguo, but Kangguo didn't eat Zhao Zhi's set at all, when she came over, she brought cigarettes and lighters, and it was Zhao Zhi's favorite cigar. With a helpless wry smile, Zhao Zhi took the cigar handed over by Daguo, this cigar is Zhao Zhi's last one, and it has always been kept by the steamed buns.

"Okay, I'm fine, you all go rest" Zhao Zhi turned his head and shouted into the darkness of the cave, just when Daguo was still wondering, a burst of laughter suddenly sounded in the darkness that he had only heard, obviously it was the situation where Lao Cannon and Uncle Guo had been lurking over there to spy on Zhao Zhi. "Oops" Daguo, who has always been down-and-out and generous, also blushed at this time, it turned out that the way he was holding Zhao Zhi just now had already been seen by them, and Daguo lowered his head and launched a flute against the flashlight under his feet.

Looking at Daguo's blushing neck, Zhao Zhi couldn't help laughing, this girl is so interesting, the courage to tease herself last time on the side of the hill has gone there. Xu felt Zhao Zhi's gaze, Daguo's head drooped even lower, and her two little hands also covered her face tightly, it seemed that she resolutely didn't want Zhao Zhi to see her face. Zhao Zhi simply calmed down, just silently looked at Daguo to see what kind of performance this girl would have.

Daguo's little ears slowly faded red, and her little head began to swing from side to side, and she listened to Zhao Zhi's movements. But Daguo was disappointed and didn't hear any movement from Zhao Zhi, could it be that he had already left? Dare was a little disappointed, his father often said that he was the most beautiful girl in several nearby villages, and he must find a man who stood up to the sky in the future. At the first sight of Zhao Zhi, Daguo was deeply attracted by this young Chinese officer, but now he has left him, is this the fate that his father often says?

Daguo regretted it a little, did he usually quarrel with him and annoy him, but if he hadn't always deliberately gone to his trouble, there would be a chance to stay with him. Daguo's hands hung down weakly, his eyes turned red in an instant, and his shoulders were shaking uncontrollably, and he still had no fate with him after all. After a long while, Daguo stopped crying and wiped the tears from his face and eyes, and Daguo decided to follow Zhao Zhi, as long as he could see him every day, even if he didn't like himself.

"Ah" turned around and was stunned when he was just thinking about leaving, because the one in his heart he was standing 2 meters away from him at this time and looking at himself, it turned out that he had been looking at himself all the time and had not left at all. Since he saw the crying just now, he simply showed the fierce side of the girl in the mountains, and threw himself into Zhao Zhi's arms, regardless of Zhao Zhi's injuries, he just hugged Zhao Zhi's waist tightly and hid himself deeply in Zhao Zhi's arms. At this moment, Daguo felt that Zhao Zhi's arms were the safest place in the world, and it seemed that he was not wrong, this man was the man he was looking for.

Zhao Zhi's stomach suddenly gurgled, and the warmth between the two was broken by this sudden sound, and Daguo hurriedly broke free from Zhao Zhi's arms, "Look, this custard is cold, I'll give you hot water" Daguo concealed his shyness, picked up the lunch box on the ground and turned around to leave. Zhao Zhi's movements were even faster than her, and when he grabbed the lunch box, he used a wooden spoon to put the custard in his mouth, and ate most of the custard in just a few big bites. Dare to breathe a sigh of relief, Zhao Zhi finally started to eat, and it was not in vain that his father helped him steam this egg custard. ~
