Twenty-one: Twelve nights

There are six families in the mountains. The houses are lined up along the side of the hill, and in front of them is a very clean dirt road. Poplar trees are planted on the roadside near the fields. The road made a bend in a wooded area.

Wang Mingming went up the mountain along the mountain road. The woods completely separate the noisy traffic and horses on the road, and the mountain road is quiet, and the mountain breeze blows in the face, which is cool and comfortable.

The sound of birds chirping in the forest made her forget her troubles just now. She watched the birds flying in the woods quicken their pace, and from far away from the village came the chirping of chickens and dogs.

The barking of the dog alarmed the people of the village, and they knew that there was a living person, and the work in the fields stopped, and they looked out into the road. The people in the house ran out, and they guessed who was coming.

The people in the village were afraid that the devils would suddenly come over, but the devils would not come, and they were also afraid that refugees and defeated soldiers would come to the mountains. They ask you to eat and drink, and they buy you openly, and they take yours with their hands.

This can't be blamed on them, people will only be strong when they are hungry. These people are also desperate. But so many people can't help them if they want to.

The people of the village looked down the hill with a restless heart. A daughter-in-law was the first to see it, and she said curiously: "How can it be a woman, dressed very foreignly." Who is this? ”

Miss Lan Ying recognized Wang Mingming at a glance, and she shouted to the villagers in surprise: "Do you know who is coming?" It's her, it's Sister Wang Mingming. ”

She ran towards Wang Mingming with a smile on her face. She shouted as she ran: "Oh, it's Sister Wang Mingming who is here, you haven't been here for almost a year." ”

Wang Mingming quickly stepped forward and took her hand and said, "Miss Lanying hasn't seen you for a few days, and you're about to catch up with me." Look at the way you look, it's so delightful. ”

Miss Lan Ying said, "Sister, seeing that you are dressed so foreignly, you really look like a doll." I envy you so much. A few dogs barking at Wang Mingming stepped aside.

Wang Mingming and Miss Lan Ying walked hand in hand to the village, and the old people and daughters-in-law of the village surrounded her, and they happily praised her for her good looks and beautiful clothes.

Wang Mingming said: "You old people don't look old, and the children are white and fat. The water in the mountains feeds people. I envy you for being so happy. It's a paradise. ”

Miss Lan Ying asked her: "Sister, how did you come here in this chaos, today Uncle Wang came down from the mountain to say hello, saying that the devil has entered the city, killing people everywhere and setting fires.

He saw with his own eyes that the devils had killed the men and children of the family and then annihilated their women, and he was terrified, and he fled back from Jinchuanmen with his life.

"He said that the devils will occupy this place sooner or later, and they must prepare early. But we don't know how to prepare. The villagers who had been laughing just now put away their smiles, and their faces sank.

Wang Mingming said: "It is true that the devils killed the people and set fire to the people's houses. I saw it with my own eyes. I came along the road, and there were piles of corpses on both sides of the road. Devils do all kinds of evil.

"Devils spoil women, women die the worst, and many women are disemboweled."

The villagers were amazed, "Ah! "Yes. They talked about it. An aunt sighed and said, "It's miserable." Why are the devils so unrefreshed. A thousand cuts at something. ”

Miss Lan Ying asked, "How about the safe zone?" On the afternoon of the 10th, the devils launched a general attack on the city of Nanjing. The command ordered the army to prepare for street fighting. The people of the whole city panicked.

"We've heard that people are pouring into the safe zone like a tidal wave. A lot of people have gone here, and we have to go to the safe zone, and my family won't let me go. ”

Wang Mingming said, "Why. ”

"The family said that this is what the devils of the barren mountains and mountains are here to do, and this place is safer than the safe zone. We listened to what our family said made sense and didn't go.

Wang Mingming said: "I didn't have hope for the security zone before, but now I see that the security zone is much safer than the occupied zone." Ordinary people should still go to the safe zone. To places where refugees are concentrated. ”

Miss Lan Ying said: "We are now worried that the devils will hit the mountain, do you say that the devils will hit the mountain, what if they come to us!" ”

Wang Mingming said: "The devils have not occupied this place yet, and the devils will definitely fight over." Devils don't always stay on the mountain when they go up the mountain, we have to avoid them.

"Regardless of whether the devil will go up the mountain or not, we must be prepared and find a good hiding place. The devil has already killed the red eye. Since the massacre has begun, the devils will not stop for a short time.

"When the devil comes, we hide. If we can't hide from the devil, we will fight with the devil, and killing a devil is counted as one. Remember, you would rather die than fall into the hands of devils. ”

Everyone tightened their faces when they heard her say this. No one wants to die, it's not a simple matter to fight to the death with the devil, everyone is afraid. No one wants to see a terrible scene.

An old woman said sadly: "I'm old, let's die." There is no pity that an old bone is dead. Pity these young people, their lives are just beginning.

"They can't be ruined by devils. I don't have the ability to help them, so I burn incense and kowtow every day to beg the Bodhisattva to bless them. Is there any way to help young people avoid this catastrophe? ”

A young daughter-in-law sighed and said, "Hey, no one can escape the slaughter of devils. Either the devil will not come, and when he comes, no one will escape the doom of death.

"Since the night of the twelfth we were awakened by the sound of people shouting and neighing horses by the riverside, we have been worrying all day long. I'm afraid that the devil will suddenly come over. ”

Miss Lan Ying said: "That night, there was a commotion by the river, everyone got up, and everyone guessed that something big had happened. After the old man finished speaking, it must be the devil who came from the river.

"We don't believe that there are Chinese warships on the riverside, and the devils can't go ashore without a shot. To find out, I propose to go to the back hill to see what is going on.

"We discussed it for a while, and decided to go with a stick and go boldly. When we got to the top of the hill, we could only see the light of the flashlight and torches by the river, and nothing else. ”

The young daughter-in-law said, "We are afraid, no one dares to sleep anymore." Everyone is on the hill and watching. It's cold on the mountain, and we are so nervous that we forget about the cold. ”

Miss Lan Ying said, "It's dawn. We saw that the riverside here was full of [***]. The warship parked by the river is also gone, and we know something bad. This is even more terrifying than the landing of devils.

"Eighty percent of this battle was lost. But we haven't heard of a city gate that has been breached by devils. The devils who came along the river did not dare to fight westward after occupying the fork and Yaohua Gate.

"We don't know what's going on. Why did you suddenly come to the riverside. They could not cross the river without boats, some of them used door panels, and some of them crossed the river with wooden rows. What a mess.

"We always stood on the top of the hill and watched, the wind and waves on the river were strong, the door panel was overturned, and the wooden rafts were scattered. Many soldiers fell into the water and died less than halfway through the river.

Later, I heard that the soldiers of the Wulong Mountain Fort had also quietly left. This means that the warship of the devil is coming.

"In the morning, the devil's gunboats came on the river, and they were rampage on the river, firing and shooting. The dead are miserable.

At this time, the river was full of soldiers' corpses. I told everyone to count and check, thousands. We were all stunned. ”

The young daughter-in-law took over and said, "What we originally thought was that devils are also people, they are armies, and they will not kill ordinary people, and devils will not come to this mountain when they come." What are they doing here?

"We have planted our land and lived our days. Who knows that devils are not human, and beasts are not as good! That's when we know we're afraid, we want to go, we want to go to the safe zone. But late.

"The devil has entered the city. When we heard that the massacre of the common people began in the city, we were in a hurry, and we were even more anxious after Uncle Wang came. ”

Miss Lan Ying said: "The devil will definitely come here, everyone has tried their best to think of a way." We have met too much, we will never give in to the devil, and we will not be ruined by the devil in death. ”
