When the monkey and Zhuqing arrived in Mawang Town, the sun was already hanging on the northwest mountain. The mountains are bright emerald green in the west and dark dark green in the east.

Mawang Town is just a small village in the mountain pass. From a distance, the town seems to be a small scar at the foot of the mountain against the backdrop of the mountain.

The marks left by the motorcycle on the road are still clearly visible, and the monkey and Zhuqing followed them all the way to this town under the guidance of these marks.

At this time, Monkey and Zhuqing had completely lost contact with the Northwest Branch, and even if there were thousands of troops in front of them, two people were fighting alone.

They didn't dare to rush into the town, after all, in this place that was almost completely cut off from the outside world, two strangers suddenly came, and it was very eye-catching.

Now the question is, why did the devil send Ma Gong to this place? Could it be that there is an even bigger trap here? There is also a question, is Ma Gong really coming? Or was it put somewhere on the way?

These are unanswerable questions.

By this time, the monkey and the bamboo green had already circled to the west of the town. They were still two miles from town. There was a small river that flowed out of the mountains and meandered through the town in a southeasterly direction.

It seems that it is this small river that feeds the town. The monkey and Zhuqing sat down by the creek, washed their hands and faces, filled the water bags, and then took out the food and came to their second meal of the day.

The provisions are still sufficient. When they kill a devil, they have to seize two things, one is a bullet and the other is food.

The stream is babbling. The monkey said, "Sister, it's dark now." There's such good water, you can wash it. I'm here to give you a warning. ”

It really needs to be washed. Hot weather, tense battles. I don't know how many times the clothes have been soaked with sweat, and the body is sticky and uncomfortable.

Monkeys don't look. But Zhuqing is still a girl, a few months away from reaching the age of twenty. Although they have the order of their parents and the words of the matchmaker, they can be regarded as each other's people, but after all, they haven't married yet, right?

Zhu Qing felt a fire on his face. She snorted, "Brother, forget it, it's just that we haven't encountered this small river." ”

The monkey sighed: "Sister, I'm really sorry, we ran to this desolate place, and we couldn't even meet the most basic life wishes. ”

Zhu Qing said: "Brother, you say this again! How can you be blamed for this? We choose this difficult path, no matter how much hardship we endure, we are willing. ”

The monkey said, "But I always feel it in my heart...... It feels like I'm the one who caused it. ”

Zhu Qing said: "Brother, don't say it. Let me hear if there is anyone around. ”

The evening breeze swept through the wasteland, blowing a little unscrupulously, and the mountain stream grew dense barren grass, and unknown small flowers that bloomed quietly at night. In the distance, there are some dwarf old trees that lack fertilizer and water. Those little bushes in clumps resemble a flock of black sheep.

Silent wilderness, without a single human voice.

The monkey held a gun and used his internal strength, listening to whether there was anyone within a few hundred meters. I could hear the sound of water stirring behind me...... Wash the clothes and dry them on the bushes, and the night breeze will blow them dry.

After a while, Zhu Qing said behind him, "I'm fine." Brother, you wash it. ”

The monkey washed his clothes, wrung them out, and put them on his body. Zhuqing, on the other hand, changed into dry clothes, and the damp clothes were hung on the bushes to let the evening breeze blow.

Zhu Qing walked over, tried on the wet clothes on the monkey's body, and said, "Brother, it's uncomfortable to wear like this, you go bare, let the wind blow for a while, and then put it on." ”

The monkey said, "Leave him alone, I don't want to be too rude in my sister's face." ”

Zhu Qing said: "Brother, you have never been rude. You're a gentleman. We are also not like dear ones, like two ordinary comrades-in-arms. All day is a war. ”

The monkey said, "Sister, I'm really sorry. All we think about all day is war. There was a slight mistake, and even his life was gone. Damn the devil, we don't even have time to fall in love. ”

Zhu Qing took off the monkey's shirt and hung it on the bushes, and said, "Brother, this is good." ”

The monkey walked over and gently hugged Zhu Qing, who leaned his face on the monkey's shoulder, touched the monkey's strong chest with one hand, and his body couldn't help trembling slightly.

"Sister, are you cold?"

"Brother, hold me tight......"

The mountain stream sang briskly beside them......

The lights of Mawang Town are lit up, mysterious and psychedelic like a mirage. Far from the town, there are also two lights on the westernmost part of the house. When I got closer, I realized that it wasn't actually a family, just a small shack.

The footsteps of the monkey and Zhuqing alarmed a small dog, and he barked "Wang". A man came out of the shack, saw two dark shadows approaching, and asked, "Who is it?" ”

The monkey said, "Big brother, we are passing by." Looking for saliva to drink. ”

The man said, "There is nothing else, but there is water." Please come on. ”

This is a shack built according to the topography, and it is so small that it can no longer accommodate guests. The man said, "I'm sorry, but I'll have to let you rest outside." He shouted to the house: "Pearl, brush the pot and boil hot water for the guests to drink." ”

A woman put down the child in her arms and boiled the water. A little girl of five or six years old stood timidly at the door. Look at the monkey and the bamboo green.

The man said, "Pearl, take a stool for your uncle and aunt to sit on." The girl named Zhu'er brought two small benches and said to the monkey and Zhuqing, "Uncle and aunt, please take a seat." ”

The monkey suddenly felt a softness in his heart, and hurriedly took the stool and said, "Zhu'er is so good." ”

At this time, the rifle that the monkey and Zhuqing hid behind them was in front of them and leaned on their arms. Of course the man knew it was a gun. Frightened, he stood up.

The monkey said, "Don't be afraid, big brother, we won't hurt you." ”

The man said, "Two military masters, our family has nothing, and we can't show anything to honor you." ”

The monkey said, "Big brother, we are the Eighth Route Army, and we will not ask for things from the common people." ”

Zhu Qing said, "Big brother, why don't you live in the town?" The man said, "If you go back to the military master, we are not from the town, and there is no place for us to live in the town." ”

The monkey said, "Big brother, don't be polite. You just call me brother, just call me my companion sister, don't call me military master. ”

Zhu Qing said: "Big brother, you are not from the town, what kind of place are you?" ”

The man sighed and said, "I can't talk about it." ”

The man said that his name was Qiu Ermao, and he used to live in a small mountain village called Daegu Village in the mountains. One day last year, he and his wife took their children to the mountains to pick mushrooms. When I returned to the village in the evening, I found that dozens of people in the village had been killed in a ravine three miles away from the village. That included his father and mother.

He sneaked back into the village, only to find that the village had been overrun by Japanese devils. He had no choice but to quietly withdraw, escape from the mountain with his wife and children, and finally build a shack here to live.

At this time, the woman had already boiled the water, filled a bowl for Ou Ou and Zhu Qing, and brought it to the monkey and Zhu Qing: "His uncle, his aunt, please drink water." ”

The monkey said, "Thank you, sister-in-law!" Then the devil killed all your villagers, why did they occupy your village? ”

Qiu Ermao said: "I don't know. No one can come near there. As long as you are discovered by the devil, you will not escape your life. ”

Zhuqing said: "No one knows about the situation there? ”

Qiu Ermao said: "Some people found out that there were people practicing there every day. ”

"Drill?"

"Yes, drill. Practice boxing and shooting. ”

The monkey and Zhuqing looked at each other and said, "Big brother, I understand what you said, this is a training base for devils." ”

The monkey said to the little girl, "Pearl, come to uncle." Take my uncle's bowl back."

Zhu'er looked a little scared, and Qiu Ermao said, "Zhu'er, go, take your uncle's bowl." ”

Zhu'er came slowly, and the monkey took the girl in his arms, took out two pieces of ocean, and said to Zhu'er, "Zhu'er, give this to you!" ”
