It's an incredible thing to behave at times!

Because of this, he got the nickname "fool".

They walked out of the remote and isolated village and embarked on a path to the outside world, without passing through the "Magpie Bridge" that they could not pass. Because it can't pass through the Magpie Bridge, it has to detour for nearly 20 miles, and that road is what people must walk when they go out when there was no Queqiao.

Bumpy all the way, far away from the city, uphill and downhill, bumpy and bumpy, and cliffs, sometimes Liu Xingmei and Tao Zhenzong have to come down to push the cart, all in all, it can be described as "a thousand difficulties and dangers"! When it was almost dusk, he entered the county seat of Pingquan, and the black grass donkey was covered in sweat, his limbs trembled, and he was almost paralyzed from exhaustion.

When they entered the city, it was nearly evening, and the sun was shining. I didn't eat at noon, but no one had an appetite and couldn't take care of eating.

When entering the city gate, there are Japanese puppet troops with loaded guns and ammunition guarding, the city wall is pasted with notices, and the Manchurian flag and the Japanese flag are planted on the city gate, and many onlookers gather there. The inspection was not too strict, and the five of them were all worried about the shotgun, which was hidden under Tao Qisheng's mattress. In addition, Tao Qisheng's face is yellow, and he is also depressed, sweating on his forehead in pain, and he looks like he is seriously ill, and he can't pretend to be deliberate, so he doesn't attract suspicion and attention.

In addition, it is very important to note that Liu Xingmei has attracted the eyes of several bichromatic fans.

A Japanese soldier looked her up and down at her appearance, swallowed her saliva, smiled wickedly, and said in extremely blunt Chinese:

"Yo Bang, the flower girl has a big one!"

A few Japanese soldiers laughed unscrupulously.

One of the Japanese soldiers also said in a rather blunt Chinese dialect: "The beauty of China is the Xi Shi of the East and the Venus of the West!" ”

Then there was a burst of ill-intentioned laughter, and she said a few words in Japanese, and the two puppet soldiers also stepped forward and also commented on Liu Xingmei's head-to-ear character.

Others can't understand it, so they can only guess that it's not a good word, but Tao Zhenzong can understand it sentence by sentence, although he didn't learn Japanese in school, he also heard some from classmates who knew it.

In the face of a few perverts who were embarrassed, several people were worried about it, and the various crimes of the Japanese had long been heard.

Liu Xingmei showed that she was not afraid of danger, so she looked at the Japanese soldiers a few more times, and her feeling was not much different from that of the Chinese, except that the yellow military uniform was a little special, and the gun was loaded. There were men with guns standing guard, there were people with guns checking, and men, women, and children who entered and exited the city gates came and went. She had seen the puppet army, and when she was in her mother's house, she had also seen the Anti-Japanese Federation, and at that time, some warlords were like a tug-of-war, and you came and went.

According to her simple thoughts: the Japanese are no longer things, and they don't have animal tails on their buttocks, so how dare they do beastly things in broad daylight in such an occasion in full view of everyone? If she really dares to make a rude violation, she will resolutely choose to fight to the death, and she will also defend the dignity and chastity of a woman!

And Tao Zhenkun, who was also sweating in his palms, also thought in horror: If these beasts dared to do anything wrong to their wives, he would not hesitate to take a gun to resist, put life and death behind him, and never let Liu Xingmei be insulted! So, he went up to his father, and was even ready to take out the shotgun at any moment.

Qiu Lanzhi and Tao Zhenzong also noticed his move, and they couldn't help but panic even more, but they had to pretend to be calm. If you are not careful, you will be exposed, and if you do that, the result will be unimaginable. At the worst, they will be in prison and imprisoned, and at worst, they will die in Huangquan, and none of the five people will want to leave safely.

Qiu Lanzhi held her husband's hand tightly, but her eyes were full of hatred for the Japanese soldiers, her mother's brother and sister-in-law and children were driven out of the village where they depended on for survival, and their whereabouts are still unknown.

In the era of war and chaos, Manchukuo, which humiliated the Chinese!

A prosperous Chinese nation, because of the warlords' separation, will lead to fragmentation, become so many disasters and difficulties, the past generations have endured the invasion of foreign enemies, still do not wake up, the people in power are still for their own selfish interests, can not share the same hatred of the enemy, still rats use the knife in the nest to rebel, this is the sorrow of a country, will let the Japanese invaders wantonly trample on the land and dignity!

A small leader of the Japanese soldiers waved his hand, indicating that he could enter the city. But his two-color eyes still glanced at Liu Xingmei's body a few times, as if he was reluctant to give up.

A few people can be regarded as relieved.

Liu Xingmei didn't step forward to look at the notice, so she stopped a gray-haired elder and asked, "Uncle, may I ask what is written on it?" ”

The old man shook his head and sighed: "Starting next month, all those who enter and leave the city at least the age of fifteen must hold a 'good citizen certificate', otherwise they will not be able to enter or leave!" ”

Sure enough!

Tao Zhenzong said: "The whole city is going to be under martial law, it seems that something big is going to happen!" ”

The Good Citizen Certificate is the identity management system of the Chinese people by the Japanese puppet regime, and the Japanese have carried out a huge project of resident identity management for the security of the occupied areas, and issued a good citizen certificate to every citizen. It can be seen from this certificate of good citizenship, and regardless of the atrocities committed by the Japanese and the false Chinese people, it can be seen from the precautions on the certificate of good citizenship alone: all Chinese people over the age of 15 must bring their own photos to claim the certificate of good citizenship. Compared with the Chinese people under the conditions of social productive forces at that time, what a luxury.

There are also good citizen certificates distributed by the maintenance association, the chief of the Bao, and the chief of the armor, and the above are in Japanese and Chinese, and there is a large seal of the North China Command of the Japanese Army, which is one of the evidence of the Japanese invasion of China.

When he arrived at a place where there was no one in front of him, Qiu Lanzhi, who was relieved, said to his son, "Why did you bring this troublesome thing?" ”

Tao Zhenkun said: "It's not safe anywhere now, it's not just in case!" ”

At this time, they didn't know everything, so they rushed to the hospital to find a doctor to examine Tao Qisheng. The street seems to be very depressed and deserted, and in Tao Zhenkun's view, it is not as prosperous and lively as in the past. Because Liu Xingmei entered the city for the first time, she felt that it was an eye-opener. At that time, there were no advanced equipment, and it was almost entirely based on medical experience. I went to a private clinic again, but the results were all heartbreaking: terminally ill, there was no cure!

Some medical terms were incomprehensible to them, and under urgent inquiry, there was no hidden flickering words, that is: there is a malignant tumor in the stomach that has spread!

In fact, it is the advanced stage of stomach cancer! It's not easy to get hospitalized because you don't have that much money!

(In my memory, there was such a saying: Cure the disease but not the cancer, and the cancer is sorry Zhou Enlai!) ）

Cancer, this is a new term and a new disease in their ears. This makes the family like five thunderbolts, like bad news coming, how can they not be sad and desperate!

Finally, in a clinic, an old gentleman with a childish face prescribed a few decoctions.

You have to spend money everywhere, and after several tosses, Qiu Lanzhi doesn't have much money left, and because of the shyness in her pocket, other hospitals don't dare to ask rashly anymore! Even Tao Zhenzong took out a few dollars.

And Tao Qisheng, who has always been observant, has already obtained results from the anxious and sad expressions of his relatives, but the kind concealment can't deceive his keen eyes, especially his wife's crumbling body and the uncontrollable sad expression on her face, all of which explain everything in a wordless way, and everything is so unexpected. Heaven and hell are just a matter of distance!

Hope and disappointment go hand in hand.

In the evening, they found an inn to stay, drove the donkey cart into the yard, and asked the shop men to feed the forage, which naturally had to be paid. There are not many guests here, because everything seems very simple and shabby, and the rich people naturally refuse to succumb here, but the people without money will want to be cheap here!

I only bought a few steamed buns on the street, but no one was in the mood to eat them.

Liu Xingmei bought Tao Qisheng a pound of mutton-stuffed dumplings, but he barely ate a few.

Tao Qisheng looked at every relative as if he was in a state of collapse, and the feeling in his heart was indescribable!

He forced a smile and said, "Your life has come to this, don't force it, and don't be too sad." Let's go to sleep, I'm tired of the day, and I have to go back tomorrow! ”

"Dad, what's not - that-" Tao Zhenkun was a little hesitant.

"If you have something to say, Dad doesn't blame you!"

"Dad, the doctor said, you don't have any major problems, I'll go back and ask for some money, let's be hospitalized!"

Tao Qisheng smiled bitterly and said: "If you have this-this-filial piety-filial piety, I will be content, and I will not support you in vain." If you can cure me, stupid boy, the facts are already in front of you, and it is useless to spend any amount of money, it can only be a waste. If that's the case, I hate to die right away, and I won't have to put you in debt. Even if I die, I will die on the land of my hometown! Don't persuade any of you, I've made up my mind, I'll go back tomorrow. If you don't listen to me, I'll crawl back!" ”

Liu Xingmei listened on the side, and for some reason her father-in-law's mouth stuttered a little.

Tao Qisheng looked at the "son" in front of him, his heart was like a knife, and the unbearable past was a nightmare that he could never get rid of. He doesn't know if Zhenkun is his son or brother, because he has always suspected that he is afraid that it will be the product of the evil created by his father-in-law and daughter-in-law's affair. Over the years, he has fulfilled the responsibility of being a "father" or his brother's care for his brother, so that he can grow up healthy, and he has not shown disgust and discrimination against him, it is nothing more than that he is also afraid of arousing the suspicion of his "unchaste" wife. He had also secretly done a blood test, and the blood that could not be dissolved in the bowl made him miserable, and he wondered if it was credible! He had tried countless times to put aside shame and resentment and ethics and morality to imagine, no matter what, Zhenkun's body was flowing with the authentic blood of the Tao family after all, and he didn't dare to uncover the mystery of the past to peek at the ugly face of the past, that kind of truth would undoubtedly deepen his pain! He loves his wife, and once he learns the truth about his deviance, how will he face her? can only use concealment to press the intense heartache that has never diminished! And his well-dressed father concealed a dirty relationship because of remorse and went out to work, so his whereabouts are still unknown, and life and death are unpredictable! However, for those who don't know the bottom line, this is actually like a trick to hide from the world. But he, the only one who knows the inside story, knows where his father is now, and because he repents of his sins, he really goes to the company of birds and beasts in the mountains and forests!
