Eight: The end of the world has fallen into people

The clerk went to the table and sat down and said: "The battle is defeated, as a soldier, it is always not a good feeling in my heart, and I have no face to cross the Jiangdong."

"However, in the days of defending Nanjing, none of our officers and soldiers on the front line were of a bad breed, and they were all men who could fight and fight. Determined to live and die with Nanjing.

"Take yesterday's battle as an example, the devil broke through the Zhonghua Gate. The ambush of our army in the inner city was immediately killed.

"In close combat, the devil's heavy weapons are useless. The devils were frightened in front of the brave Chinese army, and they left hundreds of corpses behind and retreated.

"The second echelon of the devils pounced, they attacked the second city gate, but they were resisted by our army, and the devils were killed and wounded more than 300 people. had to retreat outside the Zhonghua Gate.

"If we don't retreat, don't think about going into the city today. If you come in, you will be kicked out by us. Judging from the arrogance of the devil's attack, it is not as good as it was a few days ago, and the two armies will switch to the stage of confrontation.

"The base camp did not understand the situation on the front line, and ordered us to retreat, but the pride of the national army's anti-Japanese battle, and the heroic courage of our officers and soldiers who regarded death as home, can be seen in heaven and earth."

The clerk was a little excited when he said this, he was wearing a suit and looked very temperamental. Not at all like a soldier. Much like the CEO of a company.

His godfather said very proudly: "You change into this outfit and your spirit is different, you are mighty in a military uniform, serious in a suit, and you look rich."

"You must be hungry, so let's eat. I'm going to help your mom serve the food. ”

The clerk said, "Godfather, sit, I'll serve the food." ”

He picked up the teacup and drank it in one gulp. He said, "This tea is so comfortable to drink." If there had been no war, we would have lived a comfortable life. ”

He walked briskly to the kitchen with his changed clothes. His godfather looked at his back and said to Wang Mingming: "Young people who have been soldiers are different and sensible. ”

His godfather asked Wang Mingming: "Girl, where is your home?" ”

Wang Mingming thought for a while, his home had become a fallen area, and he was already a fallen person, and he would definitely worry about her if he told the old man the truth. Will persuade her to stay here.

She didn't want to stay, she didn't want to cause trouble to the old man. She said: "My home is in Yanziji, far from here. I don't worry about my family, I have to rush back as soon as possible. ”

His godfather was surprised and said, "Oops! How did you get here, now the city is full of devils, I think it's hard for you to go home. ”

She said, "Don't worry, uncle, I can go back." After eating, leave. I hid from devils on the way. ”

His godfather said, "I see, don't go back, you stay with me first." Although the conditions here are a little worse, I am not short of food here. The home is safer than the outside. ”

His godfather said this because he buried hundreds of catties of grain and a jar of pickles in the back of the house, and there were vegetables growing in the open space in the backyard, and they had absolutely no problem living in the yard.

His godfather said, "You're safe with us." If you're afraid of the devils coming here, we'll go to the safe zone tomorrow. In short, it's too dangerous for you to wander outside alone. ”

Wang Mingming said, "Thank you, uncle." I'm homesick, so it's better to go back. ”

His godfather said: "I can understand that you don't worry about your family, and I can't force you to stay if you have to leave." You eat first, and then you have a good rest. Whether to go or to stay, you can think about it repeatedly. ”

His godfather thought that this girl must go back and not go from the city. The drum tower already has devils. Although the road to the Drum Tower is close, it is too dangerous. In case you encounter a devil, you will be in trouble.

Shuiximen has been occupied by devils. The defenders of the city were all killed. There are no devils in Hanzhong Gate, so you can go west from here, go out of Hanzhong Gate and then walk along the river.

This road is far away, and I am afraid that she will not be able to bear it. The situation in Shimonoseki is not good either. It's messy, it's not appropriate for her to go from there. But there is no way to go anymore.

His godfather shook his head when he thought of this and said, "Girl, at this time, you have to relax and look away. I hope you can stay here first, and then you can hide here before leaving. ”

Wang Ming lowered her head in embarrassment, she didn't want to stay, she had to go, she didn't know where to go. There are devils everywhere, where can she go?

The clerk came in with the dishes and said: "If you want to go, you can only go north from Shanghai Road, pass through Wutai Mountain to Suiyuan and then run to Yunnan Road, all the way to Dafang Lane."

"From Hanzhong Road to Shanxi Road is a refugee area. Devils won't go in. This section of the road should be safe. It's hard to say that it's dangerous to get out of the safety zone. You have to be careful.

"Devils all over the city, you have to be smart, and if you feel in danger you'd better stay in the safe zone. I still have confidence in the safe zone.

"If you want to continue on your journey, you have to see if there are any devils on the Xuanwu Gate, if there are no devils, you can go directly to the Shence Gate. It's hard to say what the situation is when you get out of Nanjing City.

"Your home is in Yanziji, and I don't know what the situation is over there, but the devil has an army along the river. Swallow Rock may have been occupied.

"The devil's navy is also going up the river. There are already Japanese warships on the river in Shimonoseki. I think you'd better stay and wait for the limelight to pass before it's too late. ”

Wang Mingming really wanted to stay, she was very tired, she was sick, although she didn't cough much, but she had a terrible headache, and she felt very uncomfortable. I really want to lie down and rest.

She is so sick that she may not be able to get out of Nanjing City, and she is already tired. Even if you get out of Nanjing City, where can you go? A refugee under the butcher's knife of a devil, it is difficult to survive.

She remembered home, how good it was to be at home. The butler must have led someone into the secret room. They are anxious for her and for Liu's mother. Thinking of Mother Liu, her heart swelled with soreness. The face sank.

The clerk thought she was worried about her family, so he comforted her: "Don't worry, you can sleep for a while after eating, I will call you before dawn, and I will send you to the safe zone."

"You can go home when you can in the safe zone, and stay there if you can't. You went to the safe zone, and we did our duty. We are also relieved that you are there. ”

She nodded in agreement. She felt that she had reached the point of exhaustion, and she could not think of a better way. A fleeing man has no more thoughts. There are no requirements either.

Her godmother's fried food was delicious, but she couldn't eat it. Her appetite was lost. I want to vomit when I eat a little. She knew that her body would be worse if she didn't eat, and she forced herself to eat.

She felt a little more comfortable after eating, she lay on the bed that his godmother had made for her, she didn't feel sleepy at all, and quietly listened to the gunshots outside. She was wondering where she was going when it was dawn.

Go to the safe zone, which is like an island in the middle of a sea of fire, and it is possible to be engulfed in fire at any time. You can only go to the safe zone first and then make plans.

Stay in the occupied zone, there is even more danger that you cannot know. Living in the clerical house not only causes them trouble, but also ends the game if the devil comes.

She couldn't think of a better way to save her life. She realized that she was a homeless person. is a fallen man at the end of the world. A man who survives in the face of disaster.

She thought of the soldiers who had dropped their weapons and taken off their uniforms to go to the safe zone, and she only now understood why they did that. Themselves are slower to react to the situation than they are.

She suddenly remembered her aunt, who lived in Shogunate Mountain and would come to her tomorrow. My aunt is best at home, my aunt is gone, and she knows everyone there. She made up her mind, tilted her head and fell asleep.

Before dawn, the clerk sent Wang Mingming to the street, and he said, "You slept soundly and coughed very badly." Must be exhausted.

"You didn't know anything about the gunshots all night. To be honest, I really don't want to wake you up. Allows you to sleep a little longer. But we must do what we say is good. I never break my word.

"We're on Hanzhong Road now, and it's a refugee area across the road, so you can safely walk north along Shanghai Road.

"There are two big slopes on Shanghai Road, one is the slope of Wutai Mountain, and on the slope is No. 1 Wutai Mountain, which is for foreigners and churches. You can rest there.

"One is Suiyuan Pozi. It's close to Jinling University, and you can take refuge there. ”
