Fifty-three: Patron saint of wounded soldiers

The old mother opened her eyes and looked ahead and said, "I can't die, I want to see the day when the little devil surrenders." On that day, I will set off firecrackers to celebrate, and I will ask the mage to celebrate for my loved ones. I will bury them in my family's graveyard. ”

Wang Mingming didn't say anything more. She wiped away her tears, took out the money on her body and stuffed it into the old mother's hand. She said: "Old mother, you are right, live well, the devil is a rabbit's tail and can't grow." You will definitely be able to wait for the time to take revenge, and that is the day when we Chinese will be victorious. ”

Wang Mingming walked to the gate. She heard the old mother say coldly behind her, "Who are you! How do you know that girl? Did she call you? I haven't forgotten her, the devil has killed so many people, and I don't feel at ease when she's in the safe zone, I've been worried about her safety. You are here, which means that the girl is safe and sound. I can rest assured. ”

Wang Mingming couldn't stop the tears rolling down. The old mother said, "Go back and tell her that I am fine." Thank you for thinking of me for all these years. ”

Back at Aunt Li's house, Boss Li entered the house and said, "Mom." Do you know who she is? She is the third aunt of Zhang's house. Aunt Li, who was sitting, stood up in surprise, and she said, "As soon as you entered the door, I felt familiar, and I never thought it was you." You are such a beautiful beauty, you were harmed like this by devils. Before she could finish her sentence, tears were already rolling down her face. She couldn't stop crying and said, "This hatred must be avenged." She hugged Wang Mingming and cried.

Wang Mingming bought clothes for Aunt Yang and Sister-in-law Yang and their children, and she bought some snacks that adults and children like to eat. She's done with what needs to be done. She thought about it and went back. She said to Aunt Li: "I have seen the people I should visit when I went into the city, and all the things that should be done have been done, and I will go back after lunch." Aunt Yang, they live in the mountains, and I don't feel at ease. ”

Aunt Li said: "I said that I would leave tomorrow, how can you say that you can leave after a trip." I said don't rush back, play for half a day. I have a lot more to say to you. ”

Wang Mingming insisted on leaving, and Aunt Li was not easy to stay. After lunch, Boss Li drove Wang Mingming.

The car went out of the central gate, and Wang Mingming suddenly wanted to see his mother's house. She said: "Boss Li, my maiden home is in Yanziji, I want to go and see, if it's convenient for you, can you go now?" Boss Li nodded and said, "I have arranged the company's affairs." My task now is to serve you, and if you have anything you need me to do, just ask.

"You are a good friend of my mother, and when we went out just now, my mother told me to take care of you, especially your safety. You can't let the traitors know about you.

"The common people of Nanjing made a great deal of fanfare in the defense of the Nationalist Army, the volunteers, the people and the stretcher team, the people who delivered boiling water to the Nationalist Army, and the people who beat the devils with guns. Some of them died in battle, some were killed in the Holocaust. Others survived in the safe zone and were betrayed by traitors. There are not many people like you who can survive the devil and the traitor.

"Let's go to Swallow Rock. You show me the way. I think you should go to my company before you go. In order to save time, you just need to know where my company is. We don't go into the company. ”

Their car drove past in front of Boss Li's company, and Boss Li said, "Have you seen it clearly?" It's easy to find here. Wang Mingming saw the sign hanging in front of the company's door that read Central Gate Trading Company. "I remember," she said. ”

The porter was standing in front of the door, Wang Mingming knew him, and he went to the mountains to help Wang Mingming grow vegetables. The porter watched Boss Li's car slowly drive by in front of the door. He recognized Boss Li and the car, but he didn't say hello.

Boss Li drove north along the curvy road. On both sides of the road are uncultivated fields and desolate hillsides. Behind the woods is a ruined wall. The village that Wang Mingming was familiar with was gone. The once lively Maigao Bridge was in ruins, and the bus station was a pile of bricks and rubble. The dirt road was overgrown with artemisia grass, and there was a deathly silence all around.

When he arrived at the door slope, Boss Li saw that the slope was too steep and there was a sharp turn, he was not familiar with the road, so he slowed down for safety. The car came down from the hill of Menpo to the street of Yanziji, and the houses on the street were bombed by the devil's plane, and few of them were intact. The roads were cleared, but the streets were deserted, with no shops and no pedestrians to be seen.

The car came to the gate of Wang Mingming's house, and Wang Mingming said, "This is it." Boss Li stopped the car. Wang Mingming saw that the door panel of his house was gone. She got out of the car and walked into the yard and was in a mess. The east wing was blown up. The door to the main house was gone, and there was nothing left in the empty room. Not even the big tables and planks are gone. Wang Mingming stared at it for a long time, and she couldn't figure out what she was thinking, and Boss Li called her a few times before she woke up.

Boss Li said, "It's time for us to go." Wang Mingming walked out of the courtyard like an obedient child, and she saw a middle-aged man walking slowly, she didn't know this person. She asked him, "Excuse me, do you know where the family has gone?" There are no more things in the house. ”

The man looked at her and said, "I have come from exile, and my family was gone when I came." The rich families in this town were gone before the fall of Nanjing. Those who did not leave were the old, the weak, the sick, the disabled and the poor. At that time, Japanese planes often came to bomb them, and the houses in the town were almost all blown up by devils' planes. The house counts good. When the national army retreated, because there were no boats to cross the river, the soldiers took the doors, beds, and beams to cross the river. ”

Wang Mingming said: "I see. I know there were a lot of people in this town, and they might all be gone. I've been here for half an hour and I've seen you alone. ”

The man said, "There were still a lot of people when I came. The local people have not left, and they will die if they have no money to go anywhere. It's better to plant your own land. No one thought that the devil would come and kill and rob. The people fled in all directions, but they could not escape the devil's horse caravan, and the devils drove the people to the river and machine-gun fire, killing tens of thousands of people. Among the people who were slaughtered were locals, refugees who fled from other places and soldiers who were unable to cross the river. The cries of men, women and children are heartbreaking.

"The devil set fire to the corpse, and the corpse by the river pushed directly into the river."

Wang Mingming said angrily: "The devils are too hateful, we must defeat them to avenge the villagers." ”

The man said, "I'm telling the truth, I saw and heard the devil's massacre at that time." You have to believe me, I went to the south hill that day to collect firewood, I saw that the situation at the bottom of the mountain was not for me, I did not dare to go down the mountain, I hid in a dirt pit on the north slope, where I saw the crime of the devil. Most of the soldiers who did not cross the river did not know how to water. They don't have guns, and if they do, they do with devils. They shouted slogans and scolded their mothers for falling one by one under the devil's machine gun fire. ”

Wang had clearly experienced the massacre, and she believed he was telling the truth. The man said a few more things he had seen. There was one thing that Wang Ming was very shocked when he heard it.

It was the third day after the massacre. In a dilapidated room, there is a female military doctor guarding a team of wounded soldiers of the national army, and the female military doctor is their patron saint. She is going to heal their wounds, and she is going to keep them safe. They listened to the words of the female military doctor and lay motionless in place, they were hungry and cold, they did not gnaw or move, they were waiting for the devil to leave.

The devil stumbled upon them and escorted them to a wasteland on the side of the street. The female medic walked in front, and behind her were seven wounded men supporting each other, some on crutches and hanging from their shoulders with bandages. The devil ordered them to stand in a row. The devil's horse team surrounded them.
