Chapter 3, verse 11, there is a god on the head
Eleven: There are gods three feet above the head
The girls and women in the temple cut off their hair and wore men's clothes. The face was smeared with pot bottom ash. No one was angry except the girl who spoke.
The girl said, "My grandmother was hacked to death, and my father was fighting with the devils, and my brother rushed out of the back room and rushed forward to help my father by touching the guys."
They knocked down a devil. The other devils shot. My dad and my brother were killed. Two devils rushed to the back door, and the gun went off. They killed my mom and my brother.
"I went to the next room to get one of my clothes, and I could see it clearly in the wall. I was terrified and hurried to hide under the small table in the middle of the room.
"The devil went into the room and rummaged through the cabinets, and the tablecloth on the table covered me. The devil didn't notice me, and I covered my mouth and didn't dare to breathe. I didn't come out until the devil was gone.
"I'm the only one in our family, what will I do in the future." She cried.
The people around her thought of what happened to their family, and they cried one after the other. There are old people in their sixties and seventies, and there are men in their thirties and forties. There was nothing but despair and tears.
Faces contorted in pain. Kind hearts are dripping blood. They struggle with death and fear, and their only hope is to survive in the safe zone.
But the devils did not take the international security zone into account. The safe zone is not binding on devils. The safe zone is not as secure as advertised.
Wang Ming looked at the refugees in the temple, and everyone's faces were covered with gloom. Although he escaped the devil just now, everyone is worried about their fate.
Wang Mingming's heart tugged, she lowered her head and couldn't bear to look at the painful faces again. She knew she was struggling with life and death like their fate.
Wang Mingming is worried about the safety of her aunt and eldest cousin, and she must go to her aunt's house as soon as possible. She couldn't let them fall into the hands of the Japanese. She was going to help them get out of the way.
She said to the monk: "Master, thank you for saving me, now that the devil is gone, please open the door, I am on my way." The people in the courtyard all looked at her in amazement.
The monk shook his hand at her and said, "Donor, you can't go, there are devils everywhere, here is in the safe zone, you are in the sacred temple, there are gods three feet above your head." It's safe here. ”
The old man next to Wang Mingming grabbed her clothes and said, "Girl, don't go, here is the blessing of the Bodhisattva, and the devil doesn't dare to come here to do evil."
"Yesterday, the devil went into the city to kill, and I was shopping for vegetables on the street and saw the devil shooting at the people all over the street. I was terrified, my home was in Tangfang Bridge. I hurried home
"My old man saw that the situation outside was not right, and he said that the devils had started to slaughter, and now he could not get out, so he took his granddaughter and hid in the attic of the kitchen.
"I took my granddaughter up to the attic of the kitchen, and my old man moved the ladder, and he said don't make a sound, don't come down, and wait until it gets dark to go to the safe zone.
"It was dark, and I heard no movement in front of me, and I came down from the attic to the front, and I saw my old man being killed by devils in the hall, and the house was turned into a mess.
"My family has nothing of value, not even rice. I couldn't stay at home, so I took my granddaughter from a small alley to Zhongshan Road, and there were no street lights on the road, and it was very dark.
"The devil set fire to a few houses, they were far away from me, and I pulled my granddaughter across the street. The devil saw it and shot me a few times, but it didn't hit me.
"Pity my old man who died to protect me and my granddaughter, and I didn't even collect the body."
She wiped away her tears and said; "Girl, you don't see the cruelty of the devil with your own eyes, it's too late for you to see it with your own eyes. Devils do all kinds of evil.
"I have men's clothes here, and I bring them to keep you warm at night, and you wear them outside. At this time, you are not safe here wherever you go.
"This is a safe area and in the temple, and there is a master here to protect it. When the devils come, they will give their lives to protect us. Don't go. ”
Wang Mingming said gratefully: "Thank you, grandmother." I still have things, I have to go. I'm going to a long way away. ”
The old man said, "If you look at this small place, there is a school on the opposite side of the temple, and there is a priest there who is organizing refugees. The school is a large area, and there are already many refugees gathered in it.
"If you have to walk, there is an alley next to the temple where you can go up the hill, and it is safe to walk along the hillside. Whether you will encounter devils on the road depends on your creation.
The old man's granddaughter looked up and said, "Grandma, I'm hungry." ”
The old man hugged his granddaughter into his arms and said, "The master in the temple is cooking fasting, so it's going to be ready." Bear with me, child. Grandma has reached a time when there is no choice. ”
She said to Wang Mingming: "I haven't eaten since yesterday, and I just stand in this place with a big needle, not to mention children, adults can't stand it." ”
Wang Mingming looked at the seven or eight-year-old child, the child looked clean. In normal times, she must be an innocent and lively child.
The child must have been cold, tired and hungry now after the fright of the previous night, and she bowed her head and stopped talking at the words of her grandmother.
She endured it, endured everything. She knew that this was an extraordinary time, and even grandma couldn't fight the devil came. She was afraid of being killed by devils like her grandfather.
Wang Mingming saw that she was so well-behaved, and her heart swelled with bitterness, and she took out a steamed bun from her arms, which was made for her by the clerk's godmother. She handed it to the child, turned and walked out of the temple gate.
Wang Mingming heard the old man constantly thanking her outside the temple gate. The old man said, "Thank you, good man." The Bodhisattva blesses you with a safe journey. ”
Wang Mingming bowed three times to the temple gate, and she said, "The Bodhisattva of great compassion bless us, thank you Bodhisattva for saving your life." I hope that the Bodhisattva will bless me all the way to Shogunate Mountain safely. ”
She bowed to the Bodhisattva very reverently and bowed to the monk. The monk clasped his palms together and said, "Amitabha, donor, listen to people's advice every time, so let's stay." ”
Wang Mingming said: "Thank you, I know that the road is full of dangers, but I am determined to go." The monk said, "The Bodhisattva bless you with a safe journey." ”
Wang Mingming looked at both ends of the road vigilantly, and there were no pedestrians on the quiet road. The school across the road is quiet. There was no one in the upstairs corridor of the two-story school building, which was covered by tall pine trees.
Classroom doors and windows are closed. The gate of the school is at the mouth of the alley, and in front of the closed gate, a woman with a child in her arms is anxiously banging on the door. I could clearly hear her hoarse voice calling for the door.
A child who was not over her knee hugged her leg tightly. The child stared at the door with wide, frightened eyes. He happened to look back to see if there were any devils on the road.
The child became an adult overnight. He desperately wanted the door to open soon, and he seemed to know that there was no danger when he entered. His mother and brother were safe.
Wang Mingming looked at them very worriedly, if the devil came at this time, she and the child would be finished.
A crack opened in the closed door, and the woman pushed the child in, and she followed it. The door closed again.
Wang Mingming took a breath, and her hanging heart relaxed. She looked at the asphalt road, and if she followed the road to the north, she would not have to go far to the intersection of Shanghai Road and Guangzhou Road.
But she didn't dare to walk the road. She wouldn't have been so lucky if she had encountered the devil's car again. She has to hide from the devil. She followed the alley the old man had told her up the hill.
Halfway up the mountain, she saw the sky covered with billowing black smoke, and she wondered how there could be such a big smoke, but she didn't notice the sky at the bottom of the mountain.
She wanted to find out, and she saw a mound in front of her, and she walked up quickly. She stood on the mound and looked east, and couldn't help but be surprised, Nanjing City was already on fire......
Thick smoke billowed from the sky, and the Purple Mountain in the distance flickered in the smoke. The mountain on Huaqiao Road blocked the direction of the south of the city, and the situation on the Xinjiekou side could not be seen.
But from the south side of the mountain, clouds of black smoke rose into the sky, and the smoke became thicker and thicker, and the area became larger and larger. You can imagine what's going on over there.
