Nanjing has been occupied by the Japanese for almost a year, but the shadow of that massacre is still there. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

There are still unfinished ruins on both sides of the street, and when it gets hot in the summer, it is not uncommon for corpses to be buried in the rubble, giving off the smell of corpses.

In order to prevent the spread of the plague, some Japanese soldiers watched the captured strong man with a gun and disposed of the bones.

Although people always have to live, Nanjing is like a sick person who has been greatly injured, and all Chinese seem listless.

But as the Japanese army, they don't care about this, they only care about how many soldiers can be stationed here, and they can use this place as a springboard, and they can step on it to get to Wuhan, which is located in the middle of the stream.

But at about three o'clock in the afternoon, a riverside pier was attacked.

A gasoline storage warehouse suddenly exploded, and people in the distance could see several gasoline cans soaring into the sky like two kicks, and then someone fired machine guns at the Japanese soldiers who came to put out the fire.

This time it was equivalent to stabbing a hornet's nest, and the Japanese troops who rushed to hear the news really began to assemble and attack the place where the shots were fired like dense hornets, including Nagumo Shinobu and his capable men.

Nagumo Shinobu originally planned to go to the riverside, but it wasn't this pier.

He received a report that a small group of soldiers, led by Captain Yohei Yano, had gone to a place by the river to search for the suspected detachment and had not returned.

Nagumo Shinobi, who has been waiting for the news, is still furious about this, why did he notify me now?

The person who came explained that it was Captain Yano who said that he would not be notified.

This really annoyed Nagumo Ren again.

is also a well-known samurai in the army, Nagumo Shinobu knew Yano Yohei, and Yano Yohei would have been promoted a long time ago if it weren't for his short temper.

Nagumo forbears and forbears, and he also killed a lot of people when the city of Nanjing was broken, but when he found that he was able to endure the little extra thing called sympathy or pity that remained in his heart, he stopped killing them.

Because he felt that killing more than his Xiren career would not work, even though he had already killed more than fifty soldiers and civilians in China by that time.

He kills selectively, and he only kills Chinese who he considers representative.

For example, soldiers with good stabbing skills,

For example, civilians who dared to resist the army of the Imperial Japanese Army,

For example, the gray-haired old woman,

For example, a baby who is still breastfeeding,

For example, pregnant women who are pregnant, such as ......

He will never kill the second person of the same kind, unless he feels that he has not practiced the "forbearance" of such people.

Because of this, he looks down on Yohei Yano, who kills people when he sees them, a reckless man who only knows how to kill people, and can't even understand what the "Tao" is.

But Nanyun Shinobu didn't care about Yanodaira, but he cared very much about the team that was probably led by Huo Xiaoshan.

He had already gathered his men to rush to the place where Yohei Yano was going, but at this time, after the news of the pier being attacked by Chinese troops came, Nagumo Shinobu suddenly realized.

I almost fell for the cunning young man again, it turned out that their target was a military dock!

So he immediately led the men and went straight to the dock.

At the time of the attack on the Japanese wharf, a raging fire had already ignited in a remote place on the bank of the Yangtze River outside Nanjing.

The wood on the fire was burning with a crumpet, and Huo Xiaoshan knelt on the upwind place, his hands clasped together and his eyes slightly closed.

Not far behind him stood Kawaguchi Kanichi, and further away was Liu Zhanchun, still dressed as a Japanese soldier, who was holding a 38 cover as a warning, and in the other direction was Peng Yong, who was also holding a gun.

Xiao Shi and another soldier were gone, because the two of them were sent by Huo Xiaoshan to the Japanese dock to "make trouble".

Huo Xiaoshan calmed down after crying after seeing his mother's body.

He naturally understood that his mother-in-law had gone, and that his transparency in learning Buddhism and his long-term military career had already enabled him to face death, although his mother's departure was called death in Buddhism.

For such a thing as the afterlife, there are many unbelievers, and there are also believers, at least Huo Xiaoshan believes in it.

Not only Huo Xiaoshan believed it, but now his five subordinates all believed it, has anyone seen that the corpse of someone has been buried in the ground for almost a year after death, and it has not decomposed and is lifelike? No, but they saw it today!

They even felt that only such a magical mother would have a magical son like Huo Xiaoshan!

Huo Xiaoshan decided to cremate his mother's body and bring the ashes before returning, so he ordered the soldiers to get gasoline.

He understood that the Japanese army must have noticed this, but he couldn't carry his mother away, and he could only let Xiaoshi find a key place for the Japanese army to make trouble, and use the method of diverting the tiger from the mountain to buy enough time for his mother's body to be cremated.

The flame was rising, and the wood fire had been burning for some time.

At this time, although Huo Xiaoshan, who was kneeling next to the fire, chanted the Buddha's name, he remembered one scene after another when he was with his mother and son.

Under the dim kerosene lamp, the mother sewed herself a triangular hole in the clothes that she had scraped out of her clothes during the day because she was naughty.

The mother blows the flute in the moonlit night, and the quiet sound of the flute is like water in the mountains.

The mother hugged herself, told herself the story of Su Wu shepherding sheep, and told herself what the festival of the Chinese solar terms was.

My mother opened a soup kitchen shop in Nanjing, and I saw with my own eyes that my mother was medicating and feeding porridge to an old woman with leprosy.

The city of Nanjing was broken, and the mother took a huge golden lotus flower and happily floated to the western sky......

At this time, Huo Xiaoshan was no longer worried about the Japanese army coming here to make trouble, everything that should be done had been done, and the rest was the mandate of heaven, so he was calm.

At this moment, Huo Xiaoshan smelled a faint fragrance that penetrated his nose and body, making him forget both body and mind, and the scorching sensation originally caused by being too close to the fire had turned into a cool feeling like rain and dew.

He didn't open his eyes, but he really saw his mother standing in front of him and fanning himself with a puff fan.

He stared at his mother's kind eyes, and there seemed to be a hint of blame in his mother's eyes, saying, you stupid child

But everyone in the world knows that the blame is distressing, and the eyes are full of a mother's indescribable love for her child.

Huo Xiaoshan experienced it in such a magical realm, and he didn't know how long he had been like this until someone whispered in his ear: "Master, the fire has been extinguished." ”

Huo Xiaoshan slowly opened his eyes and saw Kawaguchi Kanichi looking at him worriedly, and the three soldiers stood behind him.

In fact, his three soldiers stood at the sentry for half the afternoon because they were worried that Japanese troops were coming, and they were not worried about their own safety.

In their hearts, they just silently recited the Great Compassion Guanyin Bodhisattva, and begged the Bodhisattva to bless Huo Xiaoshan to successfully obtain her mother's bones.

Huo Xiaoshan moved his gaze to look at the fire, and the fire had indeed been extinguished.

And the sky was already slightly dark, and there was a wind blowing, blowing up some fly ash, and there were still hot coals there red and shining.

Huo Xiaoshan no longer hesitated, stood up and walked towards the pile of ash charcoal.

He silently took a wooden stick from Kawaguchi Kanichi and began to gently flick the ashes aside.

In the eyes of everyone present, the bones did not see, but they saw that in the dust there were nine crystals the size of apricot kernels that shimmered with crystalline light.

Except for Huo Xiaoshan, the other three people were really stunned!

They are warriors, who have killed enemies on the battlefield and cremated their brothers, so they naturally know what is left of a person's flesh after a fire.

But they had never encountered such a gray-white bone, and there were nine crystals without seeing a single one!

Huo Xiaoshan still stepped forward very calmly, carefully picked up the nine crystals, solemnly wrapped them in a piece of cloth, and put them in the pocket close to his chest.

It was strange that at this moment, he did not feel the touch of the crystal on his chest, but as if he had returned to the arms of his mother and son when he was a child.
