In the afternoon, the sun is shining high and warm.

More than ten days have passed since Wang Mingzhi woke up from a coma, and the wound is gradually healing, and he doesn't want to stay in the house all day, so today he called Tang Yi, Yu Dayong and An Liuzi to come out to breathe and bask in the sun.

Yu Dayong also specially made him a pair of crutches, Wang Mingzhi walked under the apricot tree in the yard step by step with crutches, and looked at the green mountains in the distance, as if the fight in the mountains that day was still in front of him.

turned around and said to Yu Dayong: "Big brother, where is the third brother buried, I want to go and worship him." ”

Yu Dayong and An Liuzi were gloomy after hearing this, and Yu Dayong said: "Your third brother is buried on the slope of the hill near the small lake, and he can see the lake in front of him, and the back is against the green mountain, which is a good place. ”

"I thought that the wound would improve in two or three days, so I would go to the mountains to take a look at the third brother," he lowered his head and thought about it again, thinking about what he said to Yang Wu and Yang Wen, he promised to take the graduation exam, and then said: "Also, the exam is coming soon, I have to go back to Fengtian and go to school to take the graduation exam, I have already promised others so I have to go back anyway." ”

Tang Yi was taken aback, and hurriedly retorted: "Brother Ming, the wind outside is too tight now, there were a lot of people from the garrison a few days ago, no one has ever taken care of this small village, and few people have come, I think it should be for the sake of those devils, fortunately, their bodies are cleanly disposed of, but your current situation is that others have been injured at a glance, and it would be bad if someone else found out." ”

"I'm saying that I heard my aunt say that you left the house to avoid trouble, and now I don't know what the situation is on the Fengtian side, I think it's better for you not to go to the exam."

Yu Dayong and An Liuzi also nodded, and followed Tang Yi to persuade Wang Mingzhi.

Yu Dayong said: "Mingzhi, you shouldn't go now, your third brother has touched me a lot after his death, people can't be resurrected after death, and now the Kwantung Army is dying one after another, how can they be indifferent." ”。

He then lowered his eyes and mourned: "I'm thinking, the third brother is dead, the previous two brothers are also dead, this person is gone, there are too many devils, and it is not safe there now, you, let's take care of your body." ”

After hearing this, Wang Mingzhi turned around suspiciously, looked at them, Yu Dayong and An Liuzi lowered their heads and did not meet his gaze.

He looked at it and didn't continue to argue, thinking to himself: "I can see that the death of the third brother this time has had a great impact on them, and I vaguely feel that the eldest brother and the second brother are a little discouraged, should I go to Fengtian again?" Wang Mingzhi also hesitated.

After a long time, he figured it out and became more determined.

He looked at Tang Yi and asked, "Tang Yi, when are you going back to Beiping?" ”

Tang Yi thought for a while: "When it's almost autumn, it will be time for school to start," Tang Yi suddenly thought of something strange and asked, "Brother Ming wants to go to Beiping with us?" ”

"I planned to go to Peking to study at the beginning, and I had the opportunity to join the army, and now it seems that I should have prepared early, and according to Master's wishes, I also wanted me to go to Beiping, so I plan to go with you." Wang Mingzhi said.

Tang Yi was overjoyed and asked, "Brother Ming, do you also want to join the army?" Why didn't you say it earlier, that's great, when the time comes, the two of us will work hard in the army and strive to become an officer, and when the time comes, we will work with the Japanese, and we will go to the battlefield together. ”

Yu Dayong and An Liuzi heard that Wang Mingzhi was going to Beiping and going to join the army, and they didn't feel good in their hearts, they knew in their hearts that the fourth brother didn't ask them to go together, which was disappointed in them.

Wang Mingzhi looked at the green mountain, sighed and said to Yu Dayong and An Liuzi: "Big brother, second brother, I want to take the third brother's mother over and give her a pension to the end, the third brother is to kill the devil, he is good, so I want to do my filial piety for him, and it will not be in vain for us to form a righteous match." ”

An Liuzi also looked at Qingshan, turned back to Wang Mingzhi and said: "Fourth brother, I have discussed it with my eldest brother, we also think the same, the third brother is ...... to save me" An Liuzi couldn't help but feel sad when he said this: "So I also want to do my filial piety for him and take care of his wife, so that he can go well with peace of mind."

Wang Mingzhi nodded and didn't speak again, and the surroundings suddenly fell silent.

After a while, Wang Mingzhi opened his mouth first.

"Big brother, second brother, why are we fighting devils?" Wang Mingzhi asked calmly.

"This, we are here for revenge, and the Japanese are too bullying." Yu Dayong replied.

"So have we taken revenge? Don't the Japanese bully anymore? ”

Yu Dayong lowered his head and was speechless for a while.

Wang Mingzhi was not pressing, he said sadly: "I suddenly remembered that family of five, they worked hard and lived their duty, but they still did not escape the bullying of the Japanese, and in the end they didn't even save their lives, if they didn't meet us, then who would avenge them?" ”

He paused and said: "Uncle Li's family is so similar to that family of five, they are all good people, they have never done anything evil, ploughing the land in the spring and collecting grain in the autumn, just because others want to harm their girls, they stopped it, and as soon as others got angry, they killed them all, not even for any reason, without any burden, just like killing chickens and dogs, are they miserable?" ”

"And we? Can you just watch? ”

An Liuzi shouted: "Fourth brother, don't say it, we are useless, deflated, fourth brother, the second brother will follow you in the future, you join the army, I join the army, you fight devils, I fight devils, don't say it." After An Liuzi finished speaking, he squatted on the ground and hugged his head and cried. Woo."

Wang Mingzhi suddenly shouted: "No! I'm going to say! And you know! How many compatriots like them are there around us now! In the same bullying! And there will be more in the future! What do they do? You're deflated, but I'm not! ”

At this time, Wang Mingzhi looked at Tang Yi: "Why do we want to join the army, just for revenge, family feud?" Wrong! We want to avenge our country! We are desperately for this country! This nation! No longer be bullied, so that thousands of compatriots will no longer be afraid of dying. I believe that there will be people who, like me, will serve to defend the country and swear to drive away the Japanese invaders, they are the real heroes, they are the backbone of China! This is also my Wang Mingzhi's lifelong belief! ”

Tang Yi's blood boiled when he listened, if he admired Wang Mingzhi and had a little family affection before, then now he worships Wang Mingzhi, he didn't know that Wang Mingzhi had such an idea before, and now he has made up his mind in his heart to follow him for the rest of his life to realize their common ideals and beliefs!

Yu Dayong was already ashamed, his eyes were red when he lowered his head, he was angry at his weakness and afraid of death, and the death of his third brother consumed his sharpness.

"I admire the third brother, although he died, he didn't lose his backbone, he was here to kill the devil, but you were discouraged and scared because he died? Even revenge, you don't plan to take revenge, do you? What's wrong with the eldest brother and second brother? In the eyes of Mingzhi, are you still the same hero who desperately wants to kill the enemy? ”

After Wang Mingzhi finished speaking, he sighed and left them, and walked towards the door, Tang Yi looked at Yu Dayong and An Liuzi, shook his head, and then followed closely behind.

In the courtyard, only Yu and An were left......
