At the crossing, the busiest place on weekdays, there were more people coming and going, but in the middle of the street stood a dwarf dog with a white light—a bayonet.

This white light taught pedestrians' eyes to close extremely quickly, leaving only a small slit to look at it.

As glaring as the white light, it is the most demanding and decent shop at the crossroads, and they have all been converted into Japanese shops.

Inside the shop is lined up with Japanese goods in the brightest colors and worst in nature, and there are plaques with characters and phonetic letters on the outside.

There is a shop that is running a gramophone, and it is playing monotonous, desolate Oriental songs that cry more than they sing.

Here, there are the most colors, the most dazzling, and the most bleak. The white light of the bayonet had the same cold air as all the colors, like a big grimace, the more fancy and ugly, the more vivid and intriguing.

In this silent, bleak and colored place, people did not dare to stand, nor to sit down, or even to think about anything.

Death is everywhere, and even going out to buy a piece of tofu will cause disaster for yourself, and you may be sent to prison for life.

On the cart were sick aunts, and the dogs pulled the cart and walked past the small shops, some of which smelled of opium smoke and some hung bright red lanterns.

Some middle-aged and elderly people who are like ghosts come out for a while and go in for a while; When he came out, he was still standing outside the door, as if he was ready to go in again.

There were also some young ghosts, some of whom were only fifteen or sixteen years old, and they were also crowded with the older ghosts, talking and laughing.

It's the only place where you can talk and laugh, as if it's some kind of special zone where people are allowed to talk and laugh casually.

A female ghost in a small red jacket, with the sharpest and most dissolute laughter, ran out with a cloud of mist, slapped a young man, and then ran in with the sharpest laughter.

This is a safe place, and Master said that if there is anything wrong, he should go to the small shop - opium and prostitutes, the devil is conniving and advocating, and usually does not come to harass and trouble.

The dog was still walking slowly, and his heart had become cold. It's really hard to change something on your own.

But doing nothing is even more terrifying. Seeing such a world, seeing dwarves doing evil, those who have a conscience and ability will not stand idly by.

And he, both of these already have them, and they were given to him by the Master.

Therefore, he does not have to be like the fallen leaves of the wind, like most ordinary people.

Wherever the wind blows them, they get where they go, whether it's a puddle of stinking water or a dung pit.

Turning into an alley, I was a little farther away from the unsightly ghosts and shrill laughter, but closer to the target.

Xiaoping carried a small burden and followed the cart closely, getting closer and closer to the devil's checkpoint, and her heart beat harder.

Looking back from time to time, my father and sister-in-law are not far away. Looking at the dog again, Xiaoping felt a little more settled.

After all, it's not a person, and it's different from that time when I was bullied. Xiaoping prayed in her heart that she would pass the jam smoothly and never see the damn devil again.

Maybe the prayer really worked, the dog pulled the cart, and Xiaoping passed the jam smoothly. Only a pseudo-policeman came up and searched briefly, then waved his hand and let him go.

Away from the clip, Xiaoping let out a long breath, her heart was still beating fast, and she had to wait for a while to completely calm down.

After walking one hundred and eighty meters, the dog pulled the cart to the side of the road and turned his head to wait for his uncle and sister-in-law.

Walk separately over there, and when you get here, you're basically safe. My sister-in-law still has a strong stomach, and she can really stand it all the way.

Seeing that his uncle and sister-in-law had also passed the card, even the dog was relieved.

He pulled up the car again, walked to a slightly secluded place, stopped the car, got under the car and slashed for a long time, and when he came out again, he already had a few more bills in his hand.

Waiting for the uncle and sister-in-law to come slowly, the dog handed over a bill and said, "Uncle, I will call you a rickshaw and let the driver pull you to the place." Xiaoping and I, as well as my aunt, will be there soon. ”

The uncle thought for a while, and before he could speak, the sister-in-law had already spoken: "Dog, you don't have to spend this money, I can walk." ”

This is a young woman of twenty-five or sixteen years old with big black eyebrows and big eyes, and her big bright eyes are beautiful, but there is a hint of sadness in them.

Although the clothes are coarse cloth, they are well tailored. From the upright nose and slightly downward curved mouth, you can see that she is an ambitious woman.

"We can move, but we still have to hurry." The dog forced the money over and said, "Otherwise, call a car again and let Xiaoping and her aunt go together." I'm pulling a cart, and I can't go as fast as I want. ”

"Let's go first!" The aunt stretched out her hand from the broken quilt and said in a weak voice: "I sit in the dog's car, and he pulls steadily." ”

The dog didn't have to say more, he had already waved to stop a rickshaw, told his uncle and sister-in-law to go up, and told the driver the address.

The rickshaw drove away, and the dog turned around and smiled at Xiaoping: "You can also sit up, and I won't sink if I pull it." ”

Xiaoping pursed her lips and smiled, sitting sideways on the side of the car, holding her mother's hand, as if this was the first time she smiled today.

…………..

Shen Chen has a Japanese certificate, he can speak Japanese, he can wear makeup, and he will reprimand Japanese soldiers in a dignified tone.

Therefore, he walked outside as a Japanese spy, and there was not much danger.

Yes, as long as you are Chinese, the Japanese devils will scrutinize with suspicion, and no matter how seamless your words are, how flawless your performance is, you are very likely to be arrested.

Because, there is no need for a reason for Japanese devils to catch and kill people.

And Shen Chen asked himself more than once, what has changed after he has done so many things?

At first, he always thought that he could change something by fighting, but it seemed that nothing had changed. And he has to continue this Don Quixote fight.

The course and outcome of the war? No, he can't change it. For the stubbornness of the Japanese devils, only the atomic bomb can make them bend their knees and surrender.

But he did change the fate of many people, and if one more devil or traitor is killed, fewer Chinese may be harmed.

The most important thing is that Shen Chen realized that he had changed. Robust, agile, and enhanced sixth sense......

All these changes are proving to him that he has chosen the right way and path.

The road is correct, and the methods are becoming more and more ruthless, Shen Chen doesn't feel that there is any problem. In the face of the ferocious Japanese devils, and in the face of the blood of his compatriots, he attributed all these to instinctive reactions.

On the night when the dog brought Xiaoping's family into the concession and lived in the Shikumen house, Shen Chen met with his eyeliner in a tavern.

Du Laosheng is obviously old, witnessing the cruelty of the devil and the suffering of the common people, but he can't do anything, he is under a lot of psychological pressure, and he is tortured almost every day.

Speaking of which, Du Laosheng is only seven or eight years older than Shen Chen, and Wu Laoliu and others are fellow villagers. It's just that he didn't stay in the patrol room, made a mistake and was fired.

That was before August 13, Du Laosheng left the patrol room and left the concession and got a job as an ordinary policeman in Nanshi.

This work lasted for several years, and when the Japanese came, they still used some police officers who were familiar with the place. Du Laosheng changed his clothes and continued to live together.

Last year, Shen Chen saw Du Laosheng shopping in the concession, so he invited Du Laosheng to eat and drink.

The two have established contact since then, and Shen Chen knew that Du Laosheng did not have enough money, so he often gave some money to help and inquired about the situation in some Japanese-occupied areas.

Of course, Du Laosheng also knew that Shen Chen and the Japanese, as well as No. 76 were opponents, and he admired this. What information he gets, he also takes the initiative to send it to Shen Chen.

In other words, Shen Chen also has eyeliner in the Japanese-occupied area, and only he knows about it.

"If you can find a way, tell the people in Chongqing to stop killing the Japanese!" Du Laosheng drank the wine bitterly and sadly, and said to Shen Chen: "For every Japanese who dies, some ordinary people are killed. The Japanese knew that they did not do it, but in retaliation. ”

Shen Chen pondered for a moment and said, "Just for this?" Did you know that you take a lot of risk when you meet me? ”

Du Laosheng shook his head and said, "You used to ask me to get the information of the Japanese living in Nanshi or Hongkou, and I have almost done it, do you still want it?" ”

Shen Chen pursed the corners of his mouth, his smile was very cold and hideous, nodded slightly, and said, "Yes, give it to me as soon as possible!" Some people want to make it difficult for Japanese people to sleep, and this is their deserved retribution. ”

Du Laosheng took a sip of wine and said in a muffled voice: "You are not involved with the group that killed Lu Ying, right?" Two of them have been caught, and although there is no movement yet, it is possible that the Japanese are making preparations."

"I have no contact with them, but you, working under the Japanese, should be very careful." Shen Chen asked with concern: "If there is a little possibility of exposure, you should also evacuate immediately, money, I have some here, enough-"

"It's not about the money." Du Laosheng shook his head and said, "I'm an old qualification, and I have nothing to do with the messy organization, so it shouldn't be fine." ”

"It's better to be careful." Shen Chen told again, took out a wad of banknotes from his pocket, and said, "You take this money, if there is a disturbance, you can leave quickly." ”

"Thank you very much." Du Laosheng was not hypocritical, picked up the money and put it in his pocket, and said with a wry smile: "I have wanted to leave here for a long time, but - forget it, if there is fate, we will meet again." ”

"And fate, are you a pretty big girl?" Shen Chen teased: "I'm not interested in you. ”

"You stinky boy, you have to find fault with my old man's speech." Du Laosheng laughed, picked up the wine glass and said, "Come, have a drink." I've never seen you drink happily, so I'll give me face today. ”

Shen Chen raised his glass with a smile, touched Du Laosheng lightly, raised his head and drank it all.

………………

It was already dawn, and it was still dark in the room with the curtains closed.

Several times, when the tears reached her eyes, she opened her big eyes vigorously and cut them back, she knew that it was useless to cry.

Gently ** slightly bulging lower abdomen, her face has a strange red.

The scars in her heart have not subsided, but for the sake of the child in her womb, she has decided not to cry casually or worry secretly, so as not to hurt the fetus.

There was a slight knock on the door, Yunlan got up to open the door, Xiaoping stood outside with a smile and beckoned, "Sister-in-law, come to dinner!" ”

Yun Lan smiled reluctantly and walked out.

To be able to live in such a house, Xiaoping's family simply couldn't dream of it.

I can't see the vicious devils, and the traitor spies who are fake and mighty; I couldn't hear the sudden sound of people shouting and dogs barking in the middle of the night, and the sound of big leather boots rattling, and the family had a rare good sleep.

sent Xiaoping's family over, and the dog told Shen Chen.

Shen Chen wouldn't come over to see it, but let the dog take a lot of money from him.

Buying rice, buying vegetables, and hiring a doctor, the dog worked until dark before leaving here.

Early in the morning, the dog came again, and had breakfast with Xiaoping's family.

I don't know if it's because the drug is working, or if it's the relationship between the mood. Xiao Pingniang slept peacefully, felt better, and sat up and drank a bowl of porridge.

The family breathed a sigh of relief, although there were still chains that didn't know whether they were alive or dead, no one wanted to mention it at the dinner table.

This is also reasonable, the whole family ended up so miserable, it can be said that it was all the chains. The kind of fury that the six relatives don't recognize when they commit smoking* addiction also makes the family die.

"Uncle, aunt, you can live in peace." The dog has already obtained Shen Chen's permission, and he can make his own decisions, "The tenants in this house, you will pay all the rent in the future, and you don't have to worry about running out of money." ”

"This, this is your house?" Yesterday, I was busy settling down, and I didn't ask in detail, Xiaoping's father wants to ask now.

The dog hurriedly shook his head and said, "This is what the owner asked me to take care of, he is very rich, only the house is there, and he doesn't care about the money." ”

Xiaoping is so envious of the dog's good luck, she doesn't have to work hard, and the rent alone is enough to eat and drink.

"Brother Dog, you are dressed shabby, it turned out to be pretended." Xiaoping was envious, but also remembered the dog's outfit and appearance yesterday.

"Hey, hey." The dog scratched his head and said, "Dress like that and don't attract attention, I'm helping, and sometimes I have to do things for the gang." ”

Xiaoping's father opened his mouth, wanting to warn the dog not to do anything bad. After all, many gang members are doing things for the Japanese, and there are many things that oppress the common people.

But he smiled bitterly and kept his mouth shut. At this time, it is really inappropriate to say this. If you have a chance in the future, let's persuade slowly!

And judging from the dog's performance, he hasn't learned badly yet.

Yunlan sat there, not talking much, looking up at this and that from time to time, and more often drinking porridge and eating steamed buns.

Now, she had to abandon all politeness and politeness, for she was pregnant. She didn't live for herself, and she had an unborn son or daughter in her womb, that's all she had.

It doesn't matter whose house this is, no matter what the dog is helping, only she must live so that there can be another life.
