The setting sun hung in the western sky, where a rare large area of fiery clouds appeared, like galloping horses, like flames, as if to burn the whole sky to ashes, and people couldn't help but think of blood and fire when they looked at it.

On the land of China today, isn't it just bleeding and setting fire? It was the 40,000,000 Chinese compatriots who shed blood, but it was the Japanese devils who ran over from the East China Sea who set the fire.

Although the sun rises in the east, it still sets in the west.

Xiao Linghu sat by the river, looking at the sky in the west, looking at the seemingly beautiful, but treacherous and unpredictable fiery clouds, which seemed to be the current battle situation in Shanghai, and it was impossible to predict the outcome until the last moment.

Yang Gensheng came to his side, also sat on his side, handed him a reed root in his hand, chewed it, and said, "Taste it, it's very sweet!" "I saw him eating with relish, as if he were eating sugar cane.

Xiao Linghu took the reed root from his hand, and also followed his example, chewing it in his mouth, but he didn't think it was very delicious, but there was still a little bit of sweet water.

When he was a child, he would drive the cattle to the water's edge when he had nothing to do, and then dig up a few reed roots, wash them with water and chew them, but because he was too poor to afford snacks, he ate them as snacks. At that time, not only reed roots, but also thatch roots could be eaten.

"Isn't it?" Yang Gensheng asked innocently.

Xiao Linghu didn't want to ruin his interest, nodded with a smile, and said, "Yes, it's quite sweet!" ”

Yizhimei also held a reed root in his hand, which Yang Gensheng dug out for him, but after he took two bites, he spit on the ground and scolded: "What the hell is this? It didn't taste at all, and I ate a mouthful of mud! ”

Yang Gensheng blushed a little, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

Zhang Shun said angrily: "Do you like to eat or not, don't eat it for me!" As he spoke, he snatched it from his hand and chewed it in a big gulp.

Yizhimei touched her belly, looked at Xiao Linghu, and said, "Company commander, why do you want to get something to eat?" We'll have to wait until the evening, when it's dark, and we'll have a few hours to go! ”

This time, the mission was just to reconnoitre, so Xiao Linghu and everyone didn't bring a bag of fried rice, and besides, that kind of fried rice was indeed not delicious.

"Bear with me!" Lin shuddered and said, "We can't be like devils and go into the village to search, right?" ”

Zhou Lao Liu said: "As far as you can eat, at noon, count how much you eat, people eat two bowls of rice, but you rush to eat three bowls!" ”

Yizhimei said: "From noon to now, I have walked such a long way, fought a big battle, and was chased by devils for an afternoon, even if I eat a cow, I can't afford to consume it!" ”

Sha Wenhua also chewed on the reed root, but said, "Yes, this thing can also fill the stomach!" "It seems that I haven't heard Yizhimei's complaints.

Yizhimei was stunned, but still snatched another one from Yang Gensheng's hand, ran to the river, washed it carefully, and chewed it up.

Xiao Linghu also felt that his stomach was indeed hungry, almost all of them were in the midst of physical exercise this afternoon, and now sitting by the river, he was even more tired, hungry and tired, he really had to eat a good meal, and then lay on the bed and slept a lot.

"Xiao Yang, what kind of place is this?" Xiao Linghu asked Yang Gensheng while chewing.

Yang Gensheng pointed to the other side of the river, about a mile or so there, there was a village, which seemed to be faintly smoking, and he said: "There is Zhulou Village, ten miles away from Luodian!" ”

"Huh? We've all run this far, huh? Yizhimei let out an exclamation.

In fact, when they were nearly three kilometers away, they got rid of the devil's pursuers, but for the sake of safety, the group walked two kilometers east along the Lianqi River.

Xiao Linghu nodded, this place is very close to Yuepu Town, there are more than 20 miles from Luodian to Yuepu, Zhulou Village is in the middle of the two towns to the north, and the two towns can form an isosceles triangle on the map. However, because the Jiabao Highway built did not go along the Lianqi River, but in the direction of due east, through Luodian Town and Yuepu Town, so Zhulou is a little far away from the highway, but it is still in the water transportation, because of the existence of the Lianqi River, so it is also the only way for Luodian to go to the mouth of the Yangtze River.

"Why don't we go to the village and get something to eat first?" Yizhimei proposed to Xiao Linghu.

Xiao Linghu looked at Yang Gensheng and asked, "Xiao Yang, are you familiar with that village?" ”

Yang Gensheng said: "I have been to that village, I have a cousin who lives there, and there is a stone bridge in the north of the village to cross the river!" ”

As soon as she heard this, Yizhimei immediately threw the reed root in her hand to the ground and said to Xiao Linghu: "Company commander, let's go to the village, I have money, I invite everyone to dinner!" ”

Xiao Linghu was a little hesitant, although it seemed that the village was very peaceful, but here, there were already battlefields everywhere, who knows, if there are any devils in that village?

As if he had guessed Xiao Linghu's thoughts, seeing that he was hesitating, Lin was shocked and said, "Why don't we go to the edge of the village and take a look first?" If there are devils, we won't go into the village; If there are no devils, let's go in again! What do you think? ”

Xiao Linghu thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay!" So let's go over and have a look! ”

At the moment, a group of people walked along the Lianqi River, less than a mile, sure enough, there is a big stone bridge across the river, this bridge is connecting the north of Zhulou Village, it is also the north entrance of this village, there are tall trees planted on both sides of the bridge, especially at the north entrance of the village on the other side of the river, there is a big camphor tree that five or six people may not be able to hug together, and it has a history of hundreds of years.

They carefully crossed the river along the stone bridge and came to the big camphor tree, and Yizhimei was about to break into the village, but was stopped by Xiao Linghu.

"This village is so quiet!" Xiao Linghu obviously felt that something was wrong.

"Yes!" Lin Jinghan also felt a little strange, why didn't anyone enter or leave the village? And there is no chicken crow, no dog crow, it seems to be a dead silence.

Yang Gensheng thought for a while and said, "Maybe the people in the village, like other villages, heard that the devils are coming, and they are all looking for a place to hide!" ”

Xiao Linghu nodded, this explanation is reasonable.

"If there are no fellows, where can we go to find food?" Yizhimei was worried.

"Shall we still enter the village?" Zhou Lao Liu asked.

Xiao Linghu hesitated again.
