The guns are known to the villagers, and so does Gu Jianfeng.

But like all the villagers, Gu Jianfeng was far from being able to tell the difference between the sound of gunfire and the sound of artillery just from the sound, and the reason why he replied that his father seemed to be firing a gun was because in this ditch, except for a few strings of artillery battles in the homes of the villagers during the New Year's Festival, no one would set off artillery battles in this ditch.

What's more, last night in this ditch, there was a sound every once in a while, except for shooting, they don't think anyone would play with artillery like this......

Hearing that it was a gunshot, Gu Xianming's body stiffened significantly, and just as he was about to speak, another gunshot rang out from the ditch a few miles away!

At the same time, there were several sounds like the roar of a wounded beast......

"It's gunshots!"

"There's a ...... down there"

The villagers exclaimed, and involuntarily looked at Gu Xianming, hoping that the backbone of the village would give everyone ideas and what to do next.

"Go down and have a look!"

Gu Xianming suddenly spoke, and for the first time, a certain sharpness appeared on his face that was usually not smiling but was quite gentle.

"Old man, are you crazy?" Mrs. Old exclaimed.

The villagers obviously didn't expect that Gu Xianming, who had always been old and serious, didn't let everyone hide, but let them go down and take a look, and said in surprise: "Old man, if you shoot down, maybe ......you will die."

"A bunch of bad guys!"

Gu Xianming was furious, and he rushed down first!

"Dad, slow down......"

Gu Jianfeng hesitated, but after all, he quickly followed.

The villagers hesitated for a while, but they also followed, rushing towards the place where the sound was heard.

Soon, everything in the ravine appeared in everyone's eyes!

In the rocky ravine, two thin women, who had long been soaked with sweat, carried a stretcher and crawled towards them......

The two women looked so weak and tired, as if they would faint at any moment because they were too tired and too hard, but they still stubbornly persevered, carrying the stretcher that was obviously an extremely heavy burden for them, step by step......

It seems that they will only stop until they are completely dead.

This scene is already shocking enough.

But what was even more shocking was that it was obviously more than ten or twenty meters away behind the second woman carrying the stretcher.

There was a man, covered in blood, holding a bayonet and confronting several people, among those people were the terrified eyes of the landlord dog leg that the villagers had seen before, and those devil soldiers in yellow skins!

The man was obviously seriously injured, and from a distance of fifty or sixty meters, the villagers could see that there was blood dripping from the man's body......

But he didn't back down.

For today's soldiers, they are never afraid to fight and shed blood.

And there is no fear of death.

The same goes for Huang Zhiming.

Ever since he met the landlords yesterday, he has realized that the time he can leave to this country is running out......

Sporadic battles have been going on from yesterday to the present.

The people who came with him to protect the chief are all dead, and the previous ones are now Liu Yinqiang and Li Jin.

In the end, he was left alone, and continued to cover You Xiaoyan, You Xiaoying's sisters, carrying the head of Zero, to continue to transfer.

Along the way, he watched so many warriors sacrifice in front of him, and now it was about to be his turn.

He wasn't afraid of a death he could predict, he was just sad.

What is sad is not the death of his comrades-in-arms or his imminent death, or even the safety of the chief, You Xiaoyan and the sisters.

Even every time he watched the sisters use all their strength to carry the leader forward, it would remind him of a sculpture full of unyielding strength, and that thin but stubborn appearance made him feel distressed.

But he is not sad.

Because he knows that whether it is himself, Liu Yinqiang, Li Jin, them, or the two sisters, everyone has done their best.

No matter what you greet, you have a clear conscience and no regrets.

What made him sad was that he was chased and killed by the devil puppet army all the way, and the villages he passed by along the way, and the villagers who came to watch when he heard the sound.

They just watched.

The kind of villagers who watch their compatriots being killed by devils, but just watch.

Of course, Huang Zhiming knew that those villagers saw them being killed by devils but did not help, and it must not be simply described as these villagers insensitive, or cold-blooded.

He could see the unbearable, scared, and frightened of these villagers when they saw Li Jin being stabbed to death by several devils......

He could understand that the villagers did not help because they were afraid that they would be affected by it.

So he has no resentment against these villagers, only sadness.

Sad that they just watched, just couldn't bear to be just scared and scared, but did nothing.

But because of his understanding, he never asked these villagers for help along the way.

But now, Huang Zhiming knew that he had to ask for help from the villagers who had just appeared, who were still watching......

Because he knew that he really couldn't hold on, and he no longer had the ability to continue to protect the second daughter and the safety of the chief.

At this moment, he had been skewered on the tip of the knife by two bayonets, and the sharp pain of the blade stirring in the flesh and blood made him sober for a moment, and he looked at the villagers who were watching, such as Gu Xianming and Gu Jianfeng's father and son, clasped their hands together, and made a pleading gesture!

Then, at the strange screams of the devils, he was kicked out of the tip of the knife like a broken sack, and fell to the ground, without a sound......

The devil was pointing at the surrounding villagers and screaming.

Although these villagers are just watching like the previous villagers, it is obvious that in the eyes of the devil, they are still some kind of threat.

However, the two or three puppet soldiers who followed looked unscrupulous, translating the words of the devil: "The imperial army said, it's none of your business, don't be nosy, otherwise you will die, die, die, ......."

The roar of these puppet soldiers made the villagers of No. 70 or 80 subconsciously retreat in exclamation......

Seeing this scene, the three devils were relieved, and rushed towards You Xiaoyan and You Xiaoying, who were on the front hand and foot and used it forward, with a strange scream......

As if they didn't know that the little devil was rushing towards them with their bayonets, they were still crawling forward on the stretcher......

In fact, they were so tired that they had long since lost the ability to judge the situation.

It's not so much that they are crawling on stretchers, but that they are just holding their breath, and they don't want those who die to protect them, such as Huang Zhiming, Liu Yinqiang, and Li Jin, to die in vain......

That breath, as long as they don't die, they will definitely move forward, take one more step, count one step!

The blade of the little devil's bayonet stabbed into the back of You Xiaoyan, who was arching her thin back and trying to push the stretcher up, and the villagers screamed at this moment, and someone shouted: "Sister, let it go......"

It's just obvious that these cries can't stop You Xiaoyan from being stabbed in the opposite end!

Ahh......hhh

But at this moment, a stone roared and smashed into the head of the devil with the knife!

For a while, blood splashed, and the devil fell to the ground without saying a word, and the bayonet also slipped down against You Xiaoyan's back!

"Eight Tooth Road!"

The remaining two devils roared wildly, spears and angry at the villagers, and shouted in vigilance.

Several Imperial Cooperative soldiers followed the roar of the fox and the fake tiger: "Who threw the stone? Stand up for Lao Tzu! ”

"I threw it!"

Gu Xianming stood up with two fist-sized stones, and said coldly: "A group of old men are dealing with two girls with long guns and short cannons, and they also stab knives from behind, do you want to be ashamed?" ”

"That's it!"

The villagers were terrified and angry at the same time.

"Gu Xianming, Lao Tzu recognizes you, don't make trouble!"

"If you offend the imperial army, don't even think about ...... you whole village," shouted several puppet soldiers.

Gu Xianming sneered, but Gu Jianfeng, who was connected by father and son, pulled Gu Xianming and shouted at several puppet soldiers: "I don't want to provoke the imperial army, but if people know that the two girls were killed by you at the entrance of our village, and the people of our village will ignore it, what will the villagers of ten miles and eight towns say about our village when the time comes?" If you want to kill and scrape, you will talk about it after you pass our village......"

"Yes, yes, this is going to get out, whose girl is still willing to marry our village!"

"We don't care what you want, but we can't kill people at the entrance of our village," a group ......of villagers shouted.

A few puppet soldiers looked at the second girl who was still crawling, and then looked at the dozens of villagers who were shouting, and then thought that after this fierce battle, they and others didn't have much ammunition, so they turned their heads and wanted to discuss with a few devils, or wait for the country to go to the entrance of the village before they started!

"Yaga, you group of pigs, how dare you threaten my Imperial Japanese soldiers? Dead, dead, dripping......"

It's just that the devil soldiers are used to being arrogant, and when they heard this, they felt a great insult, wow, it was a ghost scream, the bolt was flicked, the bullet was loaded, and it was a shot!

In the crowd, someone suddenly fell to the ground!

"Sister, sister......"

"Girl, my daughter was beaten to death by a little devil......"

The crowd instantly fell into a panic, some people were crying, some people were scurrying......

Gu Xianming, who had already been persuaded by Gu Jianfeng, couldn't hold back any longer, and the two stones in his hand roared out, and at the same time roared while rushing towards the ditch: "What are you doing in a daze, kill them!" ”

Originally, seeing Huang Zhiming and others being killed, and seeing the devil attacking the two You Xiaoyan sisters who were carrying the wounded unarmed, the villagers had already left their anger, but they were just enduring it because they were afraid, and now someone in the village was killed, which completely ignited the anger in the hearts of the villagers!

Gu Xianming's roar directly made the villagers furious, and they rushed down first, roaring: "Kill them......"

"Look for death, you guys!"

Several devils and puppet soldiers also fired one after another!

In the thump of gunfire, several people fell on the way down, and then they were overwhelmed by the crowd......

Ten or twenty minutes later, there was a cry in the small wheat field in the village.

Not only did a dozen villagers fall in a pool of blood, but also because many people were afraid of the possible consequences of killing the devil, and some even regretted that they shouldn't have bothered with this matter......

"Why don't you hand them over to the devils?"

A few people pointed to the You Xiaoyan sisters who were gobbling up food and drinking water to replenish their strength, and said: "Now those devils and puppet soldiers are dead, and there is no proof of death, let's hand over these two women and the wounded on the stretcher to the devils, let's just say that the death of those devils and puppet soldiers was done by them, and we helped to catch their ......."

"Shut up!"

Gu Xianming pointed at a group of villagers and shouted: "Besides, they are all our compatriots, and they will hand over their compatriots to foreigners?" It's up to you to come up with ......"

The villagers obviously don't understand the meaning of the word compatriot too much, but they finally know what it means - Chinese are their own people, and foreigners are outsiders.

"I said, old man, what time is this? We are all mud bodhisattvas crossing the river ourselves, and it is difficult to protect ourselves, do you still care about others? ”

The villagers shouted, and even began to complain about Gu Xianming: "If you hadn't thrown stones at the little devil first, the little devil would have shot us?" After all, more than a dozen people are dead in the village, and that's all because of you? ”

"Because of me?"

Gu Xianming said angrily: "Do you think you would have a good life without me? I tell you, in the hands of the foreigners, we have to finish all the fun—sooner or later! ”

"A mouthful of a foreigner, as if you have seen a foreigner before...... Foreigners are also people, and foreigners can't just treat us as people, right? ”

The villagers shouted angrily: "As long as we don't provoke people, we don't believe that they will have to live and die with us - the little devil has been building a stronghold in front of us for half a year, and when we didn't recruit people before, we didn't see what the little devil did to us!" ”

"That's not the time!"

Gu Xianming said sadly: "Have you never seen how foreigners treat us - I have seen - when the Eight-Nation Alliance Army made trouble in the capital, I was in the city!"

Haven't you always wondered what I've been doing all those years? Let me tell you, Lao Tzu has fought with foreigners a long time ago, and those scars on my body are the result of killing foreigners......

"I know better than any of you what foreigners do to us!"

Thinking back on the past, Gu Xianming cried silently: "Do you really think that if we don't provoke foreigners, foreigners won't be able to drip us?" In the eyes of foreigners, we are not even as good as pigs and dogs......

The villagers were silent, they had long guessed that Gu Xianming had a story, but they didn't know that the other party had such a big secret hidden - the foreigners made trouble in the capital, they had only heard about it in the play!

"Dad, what should we do now?" Gu Jianfeng asked.

"If the little devils dare to come, they will fight with them!"

Gu Xianming roared, went back to the house and took out the box that was already covered with dust, smashed it open, and a rusty big knife appeared in front of everyone.

"Back then, I used this knife to cut the heads of a few foreigners who bullied women, and today, Lao Tzu wants to use him to cut off the heads of a few devils!"

Gu Xianming held the handle of the knife, and his hair flew away, quite a bit of the posture of the return of chivalry,
