Chapter Fifty-Six: Another Crisis

Ying Ji cried loudly and chased after her, she just begged the team leader not to do anything, stopped in front of their team, and dragged Liang Guocheng to prevent them from taking them away. Because Young-hee has always been regarded as a demon in the village, and even thinks that she will be unlucky when she sees her, not only does not arouse sympathy, but instead attracts a burst of laughter. The soldier who set up Liang Guocheng was in a hurry, and smashed Ying Ji with a snatching support, and smashed it on her head, Ying Ji didn't come to snort urgently, and her head fell to the ground.

Liang Guocheng was held by two soldiers and limped out of the village. He didn't explain too much and followed them very obediently. He felt that he couldn't make sense with these ordinary soldiers and small cadres, and besides, they couldn't understand Chinese. He hoped that they would send him to a higher authority, where there might be an interpreter who could understand Chinese. can explain the reason for living in Yingji's house, and hope that they can investigate clearly, at least restore the innocence of his volunteer soldiers, and hand him over to the volunteer army.

Out of the village, the two soldiers asked the two Han traitors who were tied up to come over and put Liang Guocheng's arm around their necks; The two of them were tied with their hands, which made it inconvenient for them to walk, and it was even more difficult to walk with him around their necks. The squad leader saw the soldier's masterpiece and praised the warrior for his good method, no matter which of the two escaped, Liang Guocheng would inevitably fall, causing a lot of movement, and they couldn't run away from the prisoner even if they closed their eyes. The soldier was praised by the squad leader, and he was even more proud. Tilting his head, he said, "It's scrap." ”

By noon, the road was much smoother. In front of you have to pass through a small village, and the road passes through the village filler intersection. Just in time for the temple fair in the village. Because the war had just ended, the masses of the people were extremely poor and urgently needed to recuperate and develop production, although it was a bazaar, most of the old farm tools sold were old farm tools and tattered old clothes. The soldiers escorted Liang Guocheng and others through the bazaar, and it seems that there are often soldiers escorting people here, and the North Korean masses are used to it, and they just consciously get out of the way.

They walked to the head of the village, and there was a big locust tree growing on the left side of the road out of the village, and two separate rooms on the other side, with the old Chinese restaurant hanging at the door. North Korea was extremely short of grain just after the war, and the grain was mainly imported by the Soviet Union and China; The government strictly prohibits the operation of private restaurants, and the few restaurants opened by the government are all run by the government, and are exclusively used by public officials to take special meal tickets for business trips. They came to the bottom of the tree, and the captain told everyone to rest under the tree, and the soldiers gathered in a circle to surround the prisoners in the middle. The team leader stood on a ridge and looked anxiously into the village alleys, as if waiting for someone. At this time, the people who rushed to the market once again consciously flashed a way.

There were a dozen or so soldiers, escorting four people, and one of them looked to be only a teenager, and he was trembling with fright. A soldier pushed him, the child did not stand firm and fell beside Liang Guocheng, the child got up and knelt and walked a few steps, came to the feet of the team leader, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and muttered that he was not a traitor. The squad leader didn't twist his head, probably to discuss meeting here, the two shook hands and exchanged a few words, named half of the soldiers, left half to take care of the so-called prisoners, and entered the small restaurant while talking.

After half an hour, the two of them spewed wine in their mouths, and they came out with toothpicks between their teeth, and then followed by the well-fed and well-fed warriors. Another wave of warriors went in to eat, and this wave sat on the ridge and chatted casually. The child-like man just now, with his hands tied, struggled and trembled, and came to kneel in front of the team leader.

No one noticed that after only one meal, the child was frightened and anxious to foam at the mouth, and his mouth was swollen with only one seam. He begged the squad leader to give him a bowl of water, and the squad leader was chatting with another small leader, but the head didn't reach out and knock him to the ground. "Damn Han traitor, go to the underworld and drink again!" When he came back, he pointed to a soldier and said, "You go and urge them to hurry up and eat, we should be on our way?" ”

After a while, the warriors who were eating came out in twos and threes. The squad leader sorted out the team and set off with the prisoners. When the team dragged on until it was almost dark, they foresaw a team of Han traitors arresting them, and they were also holding four Han traitors. Liang Guocheng noticed that uniformed soldiers all carried out their tasks in squads. They knew each other as if they had been sent from a unit, and the arresters were all reported by wire.

It was because of the U.S. military uniform he wore and the fact that he lived in a house that the whole village didn't like, so he was reported as a Korean traitor and arrested. At the beginning of the liberation of North Korea, as long as he participated in any South Korean government organization, he was regarded as a Korean traitor; Including a group of soldiers, civil servants in the government, so like the child who was a policeman, would be regarded as a traitor.

Three waves of soldiers and more than 30 people came, sandwiching the prisoners in the middle in four directions, and three squad leaders followed behind. They did not reach the village until dark, and everyone from the soldiers to the prisoners was hungry and thirsty. Barely walking to the side of the road is a slope on one side and a place to climb the hill on the other. The squad leader asked the soldier prisoners to sit on the slope to rest, and he felt that if the prisoners escaped, they would go up to the dirt ridge, and they would never be able to go up with their hands tied, so everyone could rest assured.

It was completely dark, and Liang Guocheng had a dim sense that one of the prisoners had somehow broken free from the rope and was quietly helping the other person untie the rope. Seeing Liang Guocheng looking at him, he put a finger on his mouth and shushed, pointed to his hand with his finger, and then pointed at Liang Guocheng, meaning to untie the prisoner and untie the rope for him.

When he asked the prisoner to untie the rope and want Liang Guocheng to untie it, he shook his head and refused. He will never run away now, and if he runs away now, he will really be a North Korean traitor. He pinned his hopes on clarifying his identity in the county, where an interpreter would be able to explain the situation and hope that the local government would return him to the army. At that time, he may be able to heal his waist and legs, and he may see the light rain that he thinks about day and night.

The squad leader originally thought that the ridge in front of him would prevent the prisoner from escaping, but the prisoner was not able to break free from the rope and escape from behind the slope. Two prisoners hurriedly ran from behind the slope, and one of the prisoners accidentally stepped on the air and rolled down the slope. The fighters were alarmed, and they shouted loudly. The two prisoners knew that they would be shot if they ran away and caught, so they let the shots be fired from behind, and disappeared without a trace while the night was gone.

Instantly, the air became tense, and each prisoner was held to the head with several boring guns. The three squad leaders all scolded their fighters, scolded and scolded, and the arrest of the prisoners was more urgent; A minute later, the prisoner may flee farther, making it more difficult to arrest. The three of them discussed urgently, and one person led six warriors to pursue him, while the other warriors escorted the prisoner on. The prisoners were like being driven out of the mouth, and if they were a little slower, they would be hit with a belt or *.

The war has destroyed the country's public facilities, and the unlit county town is a dark shadow. They walked into the county in the dark, without any urban feeling, just feeling that the dilapidated houses were piled together. When I entered the county seat, I only felt that the alleys were narrow and the door was urgent. The houses were shaded by the moonlight, and the streets were a little darker than outside the city. I walked a little further to the main street of the county seat, and the road was wider, and the moonlight could shine on the road.

They reached the middle of the road, stopped in front of a large black door, and a warrior came up and knocked on it. It was a yamen of the old government and the only tall building in the county, which is now temporarily converted into a prison. Probably because of the night, the gate was withdrawn to the inside of the gate. Hearing a knock on the door outside, the sentry inside opened the small square hole on the top of the small door, everyone was an acquaintance of the army, the people outside said hello, and the people inside closed the kid and opened the door.

The inside looks like it has been newly renovated, but it looks more like a Chinese courtyard house. The main hall was used as the leader's office, and the row of good houses on the right was a military dormitory, and the poor house on the left was a temporary prison house. They were escorted into a small square in the middle of the courtyard, and the squad leader ran to report to the warden. Apparently the warden had already fallen asleep, only turned on the light once, said something impatiently, and then turned off the light, and the squad leader came back a little gray. The soldiers ran hard all day, wanting to wait for his good news, and when they saw that he did not have a good face, they did not dare to speak. The squad leader called the prison guards, arranged the prisoners to the cells, ordered the soldiers to disband, returned to the dormitory in a bad mood, and fell asleep on the bed with a sigh.

The prisoners were tied up and walked for a day, their arms numb and unconscious. Now tired and hungry, especially thirsty throat smoke; I was thinking that if I could get to prison, I would be able to eat. Seeing that the fighters had nothing to eat, they were even more hopeless. They were pushed and pushed into the cell by the guards, untied their ropes and walked away.

Liang Guowei came to feel that if he entered this, there would be a big head of North Korea to come forward. He took the initiative to talk to him, and their interpreter revealed his identity; Although he did not believe it at the time, based on the huge sacrifices made by the Chinese People's Volunteers, during their investigation, they would not wait for him as a prisoner, at least have a full meal, a clean room and bed to rest. I never expected that the North Korean officials would be so bureaucratic, and the soldiers would come back to report to their work after a hard day, and they would not even be able to afford to go to bed and be scolded.

There was no lighting in the makeshift cell, and it was impossible to see anything in the black holes. Liang Guocheng's legs and feet are inconvenient, and his arms that have been tied for a day have just been untied and numb, and he doesn't feel it, and he wants to lean against the wall to let his eyes get used to it for a while. was squeezed by the people who came in from behind, and he couldn't help but step on the person, and his feet fell and fell on the person lying on the ground in a flash, and immediately summoned a group of people to beat him.

He rolled his fist against the darkness until his head hit the corner. Although I was tired all day, I basically didn't sleep that night, and the cell was like a mental hospital, with some crying, some making trouble, and some sighing.

At dawn, Liang Guocheng saw that the prison was more than 20 square meters, because it was newly covered with a damp smell. The newly built walls are not even plastered, and in China it is generally not plastered for livestock sheds, pigsties, and chicken coops. The ground was uneven, and there was not even straw on the ground, and the prisoners sat on the ground.

After a few more moments, the door to the prison cell rattled. Liang Guocheng lived in a prisoner of war camp, and felt that the food delivery had come, and his stomach had to rumble all night. The door opened, and more than a dozen soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition came in, standing in two rows next to the door, and a few of them went in to drive people out.

The spirit of the prisoner who had come in early immediately tensed, which was a signal that the prisoner was going to be executed, and no one knew who would be executed beforehand.
