Yang Yi walked silently in the snow.

In fact, he has been very silent and has very few words.

But many times his silence is gentle, like a light and tasteless boiled water.

But now, Yang Quanlin clearly felt that Yang Yi was now like a silent volcano, which would erupt at any time, which was what he wanted, and it was also the ultimate goal of him to ask Yang Yi to send him over.

It was another half of the day's rush, and the two finally had the opportunity to sit down and eat something to accumulate strength for the next rush.

Yang Yi looked for firewood as usual to prepare for a fire, and when he traveled in the ice and snow, drinking some hot water and eating some hot food was often the greatest enjoyment.

But Yang Quanlin interrupted Yang Yi's move to prepare a fire: "Now that we are almost close to the actual control area of the devil, we can't regenerate the fire, if we don't have a good citizen certificate and are caught by the devil, then we will die!" ”

Yang Yi silently stopped the act of lighting a fire, nibbled on the frozen pancakes like stones, and looked at the surrounding large tracts of land, his eyes were unusually affectionate.

He knew that when the snow and ice melted, the land under his feet would be a large fertile field, capable of growing a large amount of food, rice, wheat, corn, and sorghum, which would feed countless people.

But now, the devil is coming, and the people here have to be driven into that circle.

He knew too well what it was like for a common man to be forced to lose his land, which was definitely worse than death.

Just like his father, he would rather hang himself than sell his land to save his life.

Yang Yi finally began to be afraid, afraid that if the devil called, he would not care, but his younger brothers and sisters, would they also be driven to that so-called place like a human circle?

Yang Quanlin usually talks a lot of nonsense, but in fact, when he needs to shut up, he will definitely not say a word.

Just like now, he didn't say a word for most of the day, because he knew that Yang Yi needed to think about it and accept the reality that he had to accept - in case the devil called, would he be desperate or accept enslavement?

Or, from now on, try your best to prevent it before it happens!

On the snow line in the distance, there are tall buildings rising from the ground, erected with machine guns, even if Yang Yi has never seen a devil, he knows that the building is a devil's watchtower.

Under the watchtower, there is a small group of puppet Manchurian troops led by devils, surrounded by Japanese soldiers wearing khaki uniforms and puppet Manchu troops are active, and the Japanese soldiers riding tall horses are showing off their might in the snow.

Around the perimeter of the camp, there are scattered villages of various sizes.

Because it was so cold, there were hardly any people in these villages, and the only thing that could be seen was the heating smoke coming out of the rooftops.

"This is what you call the circle of people?"

Yang Yi asked, he felt that this so-called circle of people seemed to be no different from ordinary villages, except that the houses were denser and the population was larger.

Yang Quanlin was obviously a guy who knew how to fight a fantasy guy, and he asked with a strange smile: "Do you want to go in and have a look?" If you want to know if it's any different from the village you used to live in, why don't you check it out? ”

It was dark, and those Japanese puppet soldiers withdrew to the camp, and in this weather of dozens of degrees below zero, not many people were willing to suffer outside.

"If this circle of people is really as terrible as you say, why don't these villagers run away?"

Yang Yi asked, because he had seen that not only did the Japanese puppet Manchu army withdraw to the camp very early, but there were also no decent measures to prevent these people from escaping.

He felt that either this circle of people was not as terrible as Yang Quanlin said, or all the people here were stupid.

But obviously, there are thousands of people in the scattered circles around here, and it is impossible for everyone to be stupid, so the conclusion is undoubtedly the latter.

"Go in and see, you'll understand!"

Yang Quanlin is still saying this.

So Yang Yi and Yang Quanlin entered a circle of people farthest away from the watchtower, there was no common rooster and dog barking in normal mountain villages, and the whole circle was quiet.

The houses are very simple, but they are scattered, and the sanitation is very clean, and even there are public thatched houses, which are completely different worlds from the dirty and messy livestock shed that Yang Yi imagined, even cleaner than his hometown village.

This made him doubt the authenticity of everything Yang Quanlin said, after all, people who have the strength and love cleanliness often live not too badly.

However, Yang Yi also noticed that there is a big difference between this place and the village where he lives, that is, there is no door on everyone's house, only an empty doorway!

Because it is winter, thick straw curtains are hung on these doorways to shield them from the cold wind.

"In order to facilitate the entry into the house to check suspicious people, etc., the devils do not let people enclose the house to open the door, so that they can enter the house to check at any time!" Yang Quanlin Road.

Yang Yi's brows furrowed tightly, he was thinking, if there are two people in the family, but there is not even a door on the house, won't the man have to be worried about sleeping with his mother-in-law?

"Worried?"

Yang Quanlin sneered: "It's good to be scared, if someone's daughter-in-law is good-looking and is taken by the devil, he can occupy the magpie's nest at any time, but the man can't even say a word, otherwise ......"

He didn't say anything, just gestured with his hand in a pistol posture, pointed a little at Yang Yi's head, and lay down silently in his mouth!

"I don't believe it!"

Yang Yi snorted, these words seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth, and in the next second, he suddenly opened a straw curtain and got into a family's house.

There was a fire in the house, and there was a fire kang, but the cold wind was pouring into the house through the cracks behind the grass curtains, and the temperature in the house was still very low.

At this moment, a family of men, women and children in the house were huddled on the kang in the house, shivering and falling asleep under the dirty bedding, and when they heard someone come in, the men and women on the kang woke up and shouted in a daze: "Taijun, is there anything you need to serve, Taijun?" ”

Obviously, these people are used to someone breaking into their home suddenly, so they are used to it, but when they found out that it was not the Japanese army or the puppet Manchu army that broke in, but two strange men, they were stunned and looked at Yang Yi and Yang Quanlin blankly.

"Why don't you call it?"

Yang Yi looked at this skinny-looking family and asked strangely.

After all, even if they were used to the Japanese army and the puppet Manchu army breaking into their house, it was two strangers who came - what if it was a bandit who robbed something?

"Do you think a family that doesn't even have a door is worth robbing by bandits?"

Yang Quanlin pointed to the house with four walls and said with a smile: "In this circle of people, the grain harvested by everyone must go to the devil's warehouse, even if the rice is milled and the noodles are milled, the devil's permission must be obtained, and the rations will be received once every two or three days...... If you don't even have enough to eat, where is there something for people to grab? ”

As he said this, he took out some dry food from his bag and put it on the kang, and at the same time told the man and woman of the family that he had passed by to have a look, and there was no malice.
