Ten: Despair

When the whole country reveled in the occupation of Nanjing, the capital of China, the follow-up troops of the Yue army poured into Nanjing from all sides. The soldiers in the city of Nanjing swelled rapidly.

The army occupied the presidential palace, and in the huge banquet hall, the generals and officers of the army were gobbling up, raising their glasses and shouting long live the emperor.

Outside the presidential palace, it was said that the army was killing people and setting fires, and forcibly exterminating women en masse. They robbed shops and houses. It is said that Nanjing under the iron heel of the army is already a city of terror and a city of death.

Those who survived fled to safety, hiding in schools, temples and other places where they could hide. Those who did not escape hid in their homes and waited in horror for the arrival of death.

These young and middle-aged people walking beside Wang Mingming, from their demeanor and hurried steps, it can be seen that they have experienced nine deaths and lives in the occupied area.

They don't feel safe in the safe zone, they are looking for a way to survive. Find a place to escape from the city of Nanjing

Wang Mingming walked quickly with the young adults around him, and it was much safer to have these people in front of him. If they survive, she has hope of being alive.

She asked the man next to her, "Where are you going?" Can you take me with you. ”

The man said, "Escape." Just keep up. ”

Wang Mingming said: "I am also a person in distress, and I am escaping. I hope you can help me. Get out of here with me. ”

The man looked at him and said coldly, "I don't know if we can save our lives." A large number of devils have already entered Nanjing, and they will come to the security zone to stir up trouble.

"What are you afraid of, find a place to hide."

The man in front of him turned around and said, "Don't speak, keep your strength and keep up." ”

These people walked too fast, and Wang Mingming couldn't keep up after a dozen steps. Maybe she walked too hard, and her eyes suddenly became black and white for a while.

She felt so uncomfortable that she wanted to fall down and sleep. She told herself that she couldn't, that the man just said that the devil would come to the safe zone, it was too dangerous. It can't fall under any circumstances.

Wang Mingming was fortunate that he didn't cough. If she coughs, she will walk more slowly, and even where to hide, the sound of coughing will also alarm the devil.

She insisted on staggering forward desperately. After all, it's a downhill and it's much easier to walk. She saw that the men had gone down the slope and were gone.

The exhausted Wang Mingming was desperately rushing alone, and if she met a devil, she could only deal with it on her own. Because there was no one around her.

She barely quickened her pace. At this time, the sound of a car horn came from behind her, and she broke out in a cold sweat. The sixth sense told her that no car dared to go out at such times.

It must be a devil's car. She suddenly perked up and looked around smartly, she saw no people and no devils. She hurriedly dodged to the side of the road and hid in the corner, turning around to look over.

The car slowly went up on the south side of the slope, and Wang Mingming was surprised to see a devil with a steel helmet standing on the truck. A carload of devils, she broke out in a cold sweat nervously.

She turned around to find a place to hide, but there was no place to hide around her with a slippery wall and closed doors and windows.

She saw as if there was an alley in front of her, and although it was too late, she bent over and ran desperately towards it. Survival made her full of strength.

She ran a few steps and heard a "Ugh, aw. Shouts. She saw a monk sticking his head out of the temple door and calling out to her. She didn't think about it, and she walked to the temple gate.

The monk hurriedly opened the temple door and said, "Quick, come in." The devil is coming. Don't let the devils see it. ”

Wang Mingming saw that the temple was already full of people, and it was difficult to insert a single foot. They all looked at Wang Mingming with frightened eyes. As if she would bring disaster to them.

Wang Mingming desperately stretched out one foot, and her body was still outside the door. The people in the temple silently squeezed out a foothold for her. Wang Mingming flashed in, and the monk immediately closed the temple door.

The sound of cars came from far and near, and everyone was so frightened that they couldn't breathe. An old man beside her covered the child's mouth vigorously, afraid that the child's crying would alarm the devil.

The monk stretched out his hands to the people and signaled that they should not panic. Don't make a sound. The monk rubbed his hands together and calmly walked over to face the door.

If the devil comes, he will come forward. Use his flesh and blood to keep the devil out of the temple gate. The Bodhisattva gave him infinite wisdom and strength, and he wanted to protect the people in the temple.

A car full of devils drove slowly past the temple. The rumbling of the car faded away, and there was silence outside the temple, except for the unsettling sound of gunfire in the distance.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, glad that the devil hadn't discovered it. They whispered in unison: "Thank you Bodhisattva for blessing, thank you Bodhisattva for blessing." ”

A tall, thin man sighed deeply and said, "Hey! When the political axe left, I saw that the army was not afraid in my heart, and I finished talking when the army left suddenly. We are finished in Nanjing.

"I rushed to Xiaguan, and no one could cross the river in a crowd of people. A lot of people drowned. I had to run back. I thought for a moment that the safe zone was safe, and I fled.

"It is said that this devil swaggered into the city of Nanjing, and we have lived a life of slaves from then on. It is said that this devil will kill if he wants to, how will he live his life in the future. ”

The woman next to him said, "I never believed that I would become a slave overnight." They became sheep and cattle to be slaughtered. My life and death will fall into my hands.

"I pinched my face and it hurt a lot, and I believed it wasn't a nightmare, it was real. But it was too late, and the devil broke into the house with a gun.

"My man came up to them, bowed to them, told them that this was the people's home, and asked them to leave. The devil didn't say a word, and shot him to death. ”

The woman choked up at this.

Swallowing her tears, she continued: "I was in the back room, and I was so frightened that I hid behind the box under the bed when I heard the gunshots, and the devil went into the room and looked under the bed with a flashlight.

"They saw the box, but they didn't see me. They dragged out the box and poured out the clothes inside, they didn't want the clothes, and took the ocean from the box.

"I saw that the devil was gone, so I hurried to call my son to flee together, and I went to my son's room and saw my two sons stabbed to death with a bayonet by the devil in their sleep.

"I screamed and passed out. When I woke up, I didn't dare to cry, for fear of alarming the devil. I wrapped the children in a quilt and buried them in the backyard with their father.

"I escaped to safety before dawn. I didn't expect that the devil would come here, and my life would be no longer guaranteed, and I would be worried every day from now on.

"I escaped the devil just now, but how long can I hide in the temple, I can't hide from the fifteenth day of the first day, and I will have to die in the hands of the devil sooner or later. I'm afraid I won't live long.

"I want to live, people want to live when they die, and my survival is very strong." She bowed to the Bodhisattva and said, "Whether I can live or not depends on the Bodhisattva's blessing." ”

"Leave it to fate, there's no way." She cried in despair. She covered her mouth and tried not to let her cry come out.

The girl beside her comforted her and said, "Sister, don't cry. My home was destroyed by devils, and my relatives were killed by devils. I grieve, I hate.

"In the face of all evil devils, our disaster has just begun, and the suffering is still to come. It's useless when our tears run dry. No one can help us.

"My family of six, my dad wanted to take our whole family into exile, my grandmother didn't want to go, so the whole family stayed.

"Last night my dad saw that the situation outside was not good, and he asked my mom to take us to the safe zone, and we were just about to leave to rush into my house. My grandmother stood up to stop the devil.

"My grandmother said that we are ordinary people, what are you doing when you come to our house, you should leave quickly, leave my house quickly. The devil didn't say a word, raised a knife and hacked my grandmother to death.

"My dad touched the guy and pounced on it and fought with the devil. He killed a devil with a flat shoulder, turned around and shouted to my mother, take the child and run. ”

"My mom pulled my brother and ran through the back door."
