On the snowy plains, scattered cavalry patrolled with small squads of infantry, and far on the high ground, you could see fortifications and trenches.

"That's General Song's troops!"

Yang Quanlin pointed to the patrolling soldiers and the fortifications in the distance and said: "In recent years, the Japanese have already digested the fruits of victory brought by the occupation of the three northeastern provinces, and their strength has been further enhanced...... The ground we are standing on now was saved by the blood of thousands of soldiers! ”

Hearing this, Yang Yi's mood couldn't help but be heavy, and he opened his mouth for a while: "Didn't you say that Chairman Jiang, and General Feng and these warlords can't save the country?" Now that you say that the ground under our feet is guarded by them, is it a bit of a contradiction in your words? ”

"Wanting to save the country and saving the country are two different things!"

Yang Quanlin said: "What can really save our country is the selfless and devilish, those who are stumbling to the end by the great powers, just like the soldiers who poured blood here, but Chairman Jiang, as well as General Feng and these warlords, while trying to save the country, there are also political considerations - how can it be a big thing to do things half-heartedly?" ”

"Isn't it the same for you?"

Yang Yi snorted coldly: "You shout the loudest slogan, but don't you have your own considerations, territory, and accumulation of strength?" ”

"We were forced, and we weren't the ones who started the dispute first!"

Yang Quanlin glared at Yang Yi angrily and said: "I can assure you that we want to stop the strife more than Chairman Jiang and any warlord, and everyone unanimously defeats the Japanese invaders first, but we must at least survive first, and now, Chairman Jiang doesn't let us live, we can't even live, what do we have to fight with the devil?" ”

"If you are really as noble as you say, then why don't you give up your ideals and join the chairman of the committee and their troops?"

Yang Yi asked: "In this way, can't you work together to deal with the Japanese?" ”

Yang Quanlin looked at him as if he was looking at an idiot and said: "If you and your neighbor can't eat enough, and your neighbor's house looks better than your family's situation at the moment, but you are confident that you can make your family's life better in the future, then, would you like to leave your own home and follow the neighbor's house?" ”

Yang Yi was silent, the answer was definitely impossible.

"Isn't that it?"

Yang Quanlin said: "National and family affairs, in fact, have something in common, now no one is sure who can make this country better, then the best way is to drive away the external enemy first, and then solve the internal problems, but Chairman Jiang left the external enemy alone, and came to destroy us first - so many compatriots are still suffering, do you think this is appropriate?" ”

Yang Yi also felt that it was inappropriate, but he knew that political things were by no means as simple as they said, and he didn't want to waste this brain.

That is, he needs to wait here until it is dark to cross the border and enter Manchuria, and wait to pass the time when he is really bored to talk, otherwise he will not talk so much nonsense with this revolutionary party.

In Yang Yi's view, is it important for the country to rise or fall? Significant; Is it uncomfortable to see the country like this? Uncomfortable!

But he still feels that these things have nothing to do with him, saving the country or anything is a matter of big shots, and his most important task is to feed his younger siblings, bring them up, make money to marry Song Jiawen, and let her live a good life, this is all his dreams.

As for what will happen if you really die and become a slave to the country?

In Yang Yi's heart, I don't think it's anything at all, thousands of years of dynasties, how many dynasties have risen and fallen, haven't so many people come over?

Thinking of this, Yang Yi closed his eyes and prepared to take a nap for a while, wait for it to get dark and hurry, send Yang Quanlin to the place where he was going as soon as possible, and get the three big yellow croakers he promised, so that he could straighten his waist and tell Song Kangnian that he can make your baby daughter live a good life, and he can also let his younger brothers and sisters live a good life!

That's enough.

But what Yang Yi never expected was that this trip to Manchuria completely subverted his perception of the dead country.

He always thought that the change of dynasty was the desperate work of the army, and although the common people were harder, they could still live in the end, but everything he saw was far from what he thought.

At night, the full moon hangs high.

There are still more than twenty days left until the Chinese New Year's Eve.

The cold moonlight shone on the snowy earth, and two black shadows wriggled across the border like insects and entered Manchuria.

Approaching Manchuria, there was no Japanese garrison, which was diametrically opposed to General Song's troops, which made Yang Yi very strange.

"The Japanese are strong now, if they don't attack us, we will have to burn high incense, are they still afraid that we will attack them?"

Yang Quanlin smiled very bitterly, that kind of expression is like a child meeting a little fat man who always bullies him, he is like a big enemy, and whether the little fat man bullies you or not depends on the mood, but at least he will not take you in his eyes at all.

Along the way, it took several hours, and by the time the sky was twilight, it had already walked dozens of miles.

Along the way, Yang Yi saw a lot of villages, but those villages were in ruins, with traces of being burned by fire, except for the occasional wild dog barking low, there was no figure at all, and there was a dead atmosphere in the air.

"The folks here don't live here anymore, because the Japanese won't let them!"

Yang Quanlin looked at Yang Yi, who had a very ugly face, and said: "Because the devil is afraid that the people here will organize to rebel against them or flee, and implement the policy of merging families and villages, most of the people here have been gathered and lived in the circle of people!" ”

Hearing the word "human circle", Yang Yi's face was extremely ugly.

Circle and circle (juan), although they are the same word, the meanings of these two words are simply very different.

Circle, in Yang Yi's understanding, is for livestock, such as his own piglets, chickens, ducks, yellow cattle, but human circles (juan)? The place where people live should be houses, caves, or villages, but it can't be a human circle, right?

Man is not an animal!

"Don't be upset, the word circle is not what I said, it was said by the people who live there!"

Yang Quanlin smiled very strangely, that kind of laughter can only be laughed at by the dead family, he said: "If you go to see that kind of place, you will understand, the word "human circle" (juan) is not wrong, it is really a human circle, let's Chinese, in the eyes of the Japanese, even livestock is not as good as ......"

"Shut up - I won't believe you!"

Yang Yi roared without warning, at this moment he looked like an angry beast, Yang Quanlin suspected that if he said another word, this guy might tear himself apart!

But he smiled very happily, very happily.

Because he felt that such a fierce beast should not live like Yang Yi before, stay at home and hide his minions.

Fierce beasts should roar in the mountains and forests, to bite their prey, enemies!
