A faint sound of artillery was heard from the southeast. The devil is speeding up the northern offense.

Zong Tao was in a hurry. In the past two days, although dozens of brothers have gone up the mountain to join the volunteers, their strength is obviously weak, and most of them have joined empty-handed with enthusiasm. The cottage is not an army, no one supplies military supplies, and it all depends on its own preparations.

Zong Tao and Liu Song discussed in Wanli, and each sentry was set up with four people and a sentry chief.

"Second brother, the matter of the cottage checkpoint, please, I hope that the second brother will work tirelessly and supervise from time to time. If there is a mistake in the checkpoint, it will give the devil a chance to sneak attack. Yu Wanli nodded frequently: "Brother Zong, you put one hundred and twenty hearts, with me, the sentry card will be worry-free!" Zong Tao turned to Liu Song: "Big brother, there is one more thing." "Brother, please speak." Zong Tao frowned and said: "The devil is mad and harms the innocent. The cottage has a small family of brothers with positions, and if possible, it is better to move to the cottage. Liu Song's eyes widened, leaned over to look at Zong Tao for a long time, and finally slowly shook his head.

"There are not many cottage houses, and we have to recruit new brothers, if we add more than 100 brothers, there will be nowhere to put the mountain cold. Besides, the family members, men, women and children, their physique is not stronger than that of the young, what should I do in case of illness? Food will also be a big problem. ”

Liu Song is not unreasonable to consider this layer. Zong Tao no longer insisted. Only the sixth brother and others, if there is an emergency, they will send the letter separately. How much risk can be avoided, try to avoid it.

While talking, I suddenly heard the commotion outside. The three of them walked out quickly, and saw Li Erhu sweating profusely, and hurriedly crashed into the Juyi Hall with a person on his back.

Li Erhu is carrying a woman on his back!

All three were taken aback. Li Erhu put the woman on the Taishi chair he was sitting on, held it, wiped his sweat and said, "Big brother and second brother, captain, on the way down the mountain, I saw this woman fall to the ground and didn't wake up, and I still had breath when I touched it, so I carried it back." ”

Zong Tao said hello and looked at the woman. Black hair waist-length, dusty, melon seed face, face full of dust, swarthy grits, wearing coarse cloth clothes, but the figure looks slender. You can't tell how old you are.

Zong Tao stretched out his hand in the woman's nose, his breath was even, and it was obvious that he was not sick, but his body was weak. Zong Tao was fierce and hurriedly said: "Hurry up and call the man to take care of the porridge, he must be a person who has fled and is hungry." ”

Li Erhu answered and ran out of the door. Liu Song took over and held the woman, and the three of them looked at each other.

When the devil crosses the river, he will disturb the people along the way. In this way, the refugees will be seen from time to time. The terrain of Zhanqizhai is steep, or it can avoid the chaos for a while, and it may become a concentration of refugees.

Li Erhu brought a basin of clear water and looked at Zong Tao, who was a little embarrassed. Although Zong Tao is running for thirty, he has not touched a female body yet. This woman's age is still difficult to identify, and Zong Tao is inconvenient to make a move.

"I'll come." Liu Song rolled up his sleeves, wrung a handful of coarse cloth towels from the basin, and wiped them on the woman's face.

After some wiping, everyone was dumbfounded.

The wind and dust faded, revealing a young face, in his twenties, especially white. Willow eyebrows have big eyes, and there is a shallow wine vortex on his face. The lips are red and the teeth are white, and they are full of brilliance.

A very beautiful girl!

Zong Tao's heart was pounding. He rarely sees this kind of stunning color, and he looks like a lady.

Yu Wanli also straightened his eyes.

After being stunned for a moment, Zong Tao asked: "Big brother, this girl is obviously a person who has fled, and now she is in the cottage, how to settle down?" ”

Liu Song groaned slightly, and said resolutely: "Just arrange it next to the house where you live, and take care of it." ”

It turns out that the row of houses in the Juyi Hall is the exclusive accommodation of the cottage leader. In addition to the two rooms in the hall, there are more than ten rooms in a row. Liu Song Juyi Hall left room, Wanli Juyi Hall right room, and so on. Zong Tao lives next to Zhang Daniu, there is still a vacant room, and there are two empty rooms on the right.

Yu Wanli's eyes showed a look of envy, and it was fleeting.

It turned out that the leaders of the cottage, plus Zong Tao, only Yu Wanli and him were never married.

Zong Tao has no heart to start a family for the time being. The devil is immortal, and Zong Tao swears to be celibate. Now that Liu Song arranged for this girl to be his neighbor, Zong Tao was noncommittal and smiled faintly.

The man brought a bowl of gruel. Liu Song looked around, took it, and fed it himself.

A bowl of porridge was in her stomach, and the girl woke up slowly. When I opened my eyes and saw strange people, I was taken aback and got up to leave. But one stumbled and almost fell.

It turned out that the girl had been hungry for too long and was tired.

Liu Song hurriedly stretched out his hand to hug the girl, and said warmly: "Little sister, don't be afraid, we are the anti-Japanese volunteers, the team of fighting devils!" ”

When the girl heard this, she threw herself into Liu Song's arms and cried loudly.

"Uncle, you guys beat the devils hard, they ruined my family!"

Zong Tao clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and his eyes were on fire.

The devil is in a lot of blood!

The girl sobbed and spoke intermittently under the persuasion of the crowd.

The girl's name is Bai Ruxin, a native of Nanjing. At the time of the Devil Massacre, Bai Ruxin was studying abroad and returned home after hearing the bad news, but Nanjing City could no longer enter. She had an aunt in Anhui and ran to the past, but within March, the devil hit her aunt's hometown and killed her aunt's family. Bai Ruxin was pushed into the mountains by her uncle to avoid being robbed, but she had no relatives and had to flee.

"Devils of the dog day!"

Zong Tao scolded angrily. Liu Songtie blushed and asked softly: "The Japanese devil is so inhumane, he has no grievances and no hatred, he has to kill them all?" ”

Bai Ruxin said with tears in her eyes: "Uncle, where is the devil human, when he sees a house, he burns it, when he sees something, he robs it, and when he sees us Chinese, he raises a butcher knife." There are also many sisters who have been ravaged by devils. That's a bunch of brutes! ”

Liu Songban tightened his face and looked at Zong Tao, only then did he completely believe Zong Tao's words.

"Xiaobai, don't worry, uncle, this anti-Japanese team, will definitely help you avenge this blood revenge!"

Bai Ruxin wanted to worship, but Liu Song hurriedly stopped her.

Bai Ruxin didn't say which country she was studying in, and Zong Tao and the others were inconvenient to ask, for fear of touching her injuries. Bai Ruxin's mouth is very sweet, and she has an uncle, which makes Liu Song very happy and helps Bai Ruxin arrange everything.

Bai Ruxin had a place to live, and after taking a bath, she ran into the righteous hall and said loudly: "Uncle, give me a task, I will also fight devils." ”

Liu Song laughed: "Fighting devils, you girls are useless." ”

Zong Tao smiled slightly, and was about to speak, when Bai Ruxin pouted and said, "Uncle, you look down on us women." Who said that women are not as good as men, in ancient times, Hua Mulan served in the army on behalf of her father, and there are many female compatriots on the battlefield of resistance against Japan today. ”

Liu Song waved his hand and smiled: "Xiaobai, you are a person who has seen the world, and I can't compare to you." But there's really nothing you have to do. ”

"Then I won't live in a cottage."

Liu Song was stunned: "Where else can you go?" ”

"The four seas are home. Since your anti-Japanese troops won't let me do anything, what's the point of me staying? ”

Liu Song was stunned. Bai Ruxin is young and beautiful, if she walks alone, she is seen through, if she has a bad heart, won't she suffer again?

Liu Song looked at Zong Tao, pointed and said with a smile: "This is the captain of our Volunteer Army, what can I arrange for you, ask him." ”

"Captain?" Bai Ruxin's eyes widened and she stared at Zong Tao tightly.

Zong Tao smiled faintly and said, "White girl, you can live in peace first." It's really not a one-person business to fight devils, and when the time comes, I will arrange for you to do what you can. ”

Bai Ruxin burst into tears and smiled and nodded desperately.
