One: December 13

Wang Mingming was walking anxiously in the alley, she kept judging the direction, and she wanted to get home before the devil broke the city.

She was hungry and tired and wanted to find a family to order food, she ran from house to house, and the doors of the alleys were closed.

She didn't call the door, she knew that the people here were either in exile, the house was empty, or there were people who did not dare to open the door in these chaotic years.

She was bobbling up and down the alley, and she couldn't figure out where she had gone. The gunfire grew farther and farther away, and gradually subsided. It was already dark.

She felt the darkness and walked slowly forward, she saw a house that had been blown down by a devil's plane, she tentatively went in and saw a haystack in its backyard, she got into the haystack and fell asleep.

Early in the morning, she woke up from the cold, and after a cough she felt very tired and her whole body ached. She remembered that she hadn't eaten dinner yesterday. She was hungry and cold, and she didn't want to move.

She looked at the hoarfrost all over the floor, and her surroundings were quiet, as if she were cut off from the world. There was no gunfire and no wake-up calls from the army.

If she was at home, she would have had an early roll call. What can she say to everyone? Said that the army had retreated, and the devils were going to enter the city. Nanjing has since fallen. From today onwards, we will live the days of slavery in the country.

The terrible name of the slave fell on the heads of the people of Nanjing. She shuddered. To keep warm, she hugged the thatch around her body.

She thought back to the dense gunfire and deafening explosions on the battlefield yesterday, the battles she had participated in, the experiences of blood and fire that seemed to have happened in the distant past.

She had a hard time remembering the details now. She thought of Hadron and his comrades. They fought with the devils to defend Nanjing.

They no longer thought that what they exchanged for their blood and lives was retreat, that Nanjing was given to the Japanese army, and that Nanjing fell. They will never be seen on the battlefield.

She remembered Liu's mother, when her mother-in-law was at home, she was doing chores in the backyard, and she heard the eldest sister say that there was a very diligent handyman in the backyard.

Wang Mingming laughed when he heard this. Her energy at that time was all focused on Kiko's safety. She never paid attention to her. When the mother-in-law left, he arranged for her to serve her,

The old housekeeper took her to the hospital. She entered the ward, and the landlord looked around, and everything felt fresh. It was evident that she had never been to the hospital.

After reading everything in the ward, she said to Wang Mingming: "I am doing odd jobs in the backyard. Now I can serve my third aunt, and I have been given a dress and a salary increase, and I have been promoted. ”

She laughed first. After laughing, he said, "The hospital where the third aunt lives is really good." Such bungalows have been seen on the outside in the past. ”

"It's not that I'm waiting for the third aunt, I'm afraid I won't be able to come in this life. Look at the white walls, and the windows are high and bright. It was so comfortable to stay in.

"When I came, the old butler gave me a lesson for the day. Teach me how to serve the third aunt. There are rewards for doing a good job. If you do something bad, you will be punished. I promise to do a good job. ”

She usually doesn't talk much, she only knows how to do things vigorously.

Wang Mingming saw that she looked very white and clean, with a thin stripe, and the clothes were worn on her body, which was a little shorter and a little fatter. But it's very impressive. In the words of a foreigner, it is very sexy.

Wang Mingming asked her why she didn't go with her mother-in-law. She said that her man was injured while working on the dock outside Shuiximen, and the person collapsed on the bed with no way to leave.

She had a son who died.

The person who died on the battlefield yesterday should be Wang Mingming, Liu Ma blocked the devil's bullet for her, and Liu Ma saved her. Tears welled up in her eyes as she thought of this.

For Mama Liu, for Hadron and Chrysanthemum, for the dead soldiers and volunteers. She couldn't control her grief and wanted to cry, so that she would feel more comfortable.

She endured it anyway. Now is not the time to cry. She had to hurry home as soon as possible, and the old butler didn't know what was going on. It is necessary to arrange for the old housekeeper to visit Liu's mother's family.

She moved, touching the pistol in her arms. She remembered that she had killed a few devils. avenged Qiangzi, Chrysanthemum, and Liu's mother.

She was relieved to think of this. She touched the gun in her arms, and it sat quietly in her arms. The devil is also afraid of this thing, but unfortunately she has too few bullets.

An old lady who had come to fetch firewood and grass saw her. The old lady was surprised and said, "Oops! Girl, how can you hide here. It's too dangerous. ”

Wang Mingming said, "Grandma, help me." I'm tired, I'm hungry. You can just let me have a meal. I'm not going to bother you. ”

The old woman said, "Come with me." ”

The old woman picked up the firewood and motioned for her to come with her. They came to a courtyard and went into the kitchen. The old grandmother asked her to sit, and she sat down on a small bench.

The old grandmother lit the stove for a while and the water boiled. She filled the thermos bottle, poured washing water for Wang Mingming, and said, "You wash your face and comb your hair first, and the porridge will be fine for a while."

Wang Mingming took off her coat and bounced it clean in the yard, she washed her face and felt much better, but her stomach was even hungrier.

When she saw the pickle pimple in front of her, she couldn't help but swallow. The old grandmother lifted the lid of the pot and filled a bowl of potato porridge for Wang Mingming, and Wang Mingming said thank you and ate it in a big gulp.

The porridge was sweet and delicious, and she ate two large bowls in a while. She had never eaten so much. She still wants to eat. However, she was embarrassed to put down the bowl.

The old grandmother saw that she was not full and filled her with a bowl. He said, "Girl, when you are full, I can see that you have not eaten decently for a few meals."

"As the saying goes, you don't have enough for ten hungry meals. I burned a lot. It's good to be full. Wang Mingming took the rice bowl and said thank you, and ate again.

After eating, she took out the money and said, "Grandma, give you the money for the meal." ”

The old lady turned her face and said, "Girl, what are you doing?" Don't do that, put the money away. In this time of chaos, who has not been in trouble. ”

Wang Mingming said: "How can there be a meal without money." Even if I honor your old man, put it away. It's almost morning. I have to go, thank you. ”

The old woman said, "I am not short of money, you take it." You're going to use the money. The grandmother next door came here just now, and she talked to me here for a long time.

She said that yesterday afternoon, the devils from the east hit Tongjimen, and the devils did not know the situation in the city and did not dare to fight inside, and in the evening the national army drove the devils out.

"This morning the trumpets of the defenders of Nanjing City were gone. The national army retreated, and they all went to Xiaguan overnight, and the common people knew that Nanjing was gone, and they all ran to the safety zone.

"All night, the streets were in a state of chaos.

"Now the gates are guarded by officers and soldiers who have volunteered to stay. Their numbers were so small that they could not hold the city. Today, the devil is going to enter the city. You go west. In front of me, the west is still the place of the national army.

You can go to the safe zone when you get there. You can't deal with devils in a girl's house, so it's important to go to a safe zone to save your life.

"If you can't go to the safe zone and have nowhere to go, you can come back to me, and we'll be company,"

Wang Mingming said: "Thank you for your concern, don't worry, I will pay attention to safety." You also have to pay attention to safety.

"Devils are not a good thing. You can do any bad thing about killing people and setting fires, so be careful. I also want you to close the door and go to the safe zone, and come back when the situation calms down. ”

The old woman said, "Thank you, girl, my children and grandchildren are gone, I will not leave, I will guard the family property left by my ancestors here."

"The little devil is here, what can he do with me, an old woman, he can't kill me. But it's not so easy for the little devil to kill me.

"As the old saying goes, it is good to die first, but it is difficult to die later. God is fair in doing things, and devils will not end well when they fight China. ”

Wang Mingming said goodbye to his grandmother and walked quickly. The alley in front of her was an alley of things and things, she thought about it, and the old grandmother asked her to go west first, and listen to the old woman's words to go west.

If she encounters an alley to the south and then goes south, she walks briskly and suddenly coughs twice, she wakes up in the morning and coughs, she doesn't take it to heart.

She touched her head, it was very hot, it must have been frozen last night. She had to rush home as soon as possible, and there was medicine at home.
