Nineteen: She cried in despair

People gathered casually to talk about what was happening in the city, and about the gunboats of the devils on the river. It's just a few miles away from Shangyuanmen. Shangyuan Gate has been occupied by devils.

The devil occupied Shangyuanmen, and he must attack here, and Wang Mingming quickened his pace and walked east. Her aunt's house is on the south side of Shogunate Mountain to the east. She really wanted to get to her aunt's house in one step.

A group of anxious and helpless people gathered on the side of the broken wall. It can be seen that they did not know each other before, and fate has improvised.

Some of them beat their chests and howled without tears, some stomped their feet and pointed at the sky to scold their mothers, and scolded the devils for killing people and setting fire to their conscience. After a while, he scolded the national army that it should not retreat without a fight.

There was a thin man in a robe squatting by the wall, and he suddenly stood up and looked at the sky and sighed, "Oh my God, is this my place!" He shook his head and crouched down by the wall again.

The man in the suit beside him lowered his head and turned his hands on the spot in despair, and said, "I can't think of a way!" Embattled, surrounded by devils, I can't get out. ”

The person opposite him said viciously: "No one can think of a way to escape, what's the use of being anxious, just wait for death." Little devil of dog day! After he finished speaking, he stomped his foot unwillingly.

Under the tree sat two veterans, who were silently eating dry tobacco leaves wrapped in cut paper. They looked apathetic as if nothing had happened.

It may be that they have seen too many casualties on the battlefield, and they have long been numb to life and death. It is also possible that they can be addicted to smoking before they die, and they are already very satisfied.

There were mule carts parked on the side of the road, and the cars had baffles on all sides. Boxes and luggage were placed on the car, and dusty women, old people, and children sat in each other's arms. They were all tired.

They were neatly dressed and the cloth was good. They used to live a life of abundance. The devils ruined their homeland, and they fled to Nanjing.

The devils surrounded Nanjing on three sides, they couldn't cross the river, and the road to Anhui was cut off by the devils, so they had to stay in Nanjing.

They pinned their hopes on the defense of the war, regarded the national army as a savior, and the national army swore to live and die with Nanjing, and with such determination, Nanjing would definitely be able to keep it. They have nothing to worry about.

When the day really comes, let's live and die together. Everything goes with the flow.

Now the national army has given up resistance, and everything has changed overnight. Their hopes have been dashed, bad luck is coming, and the shadow of death hangs over them. They don't want to die.

The sky is about to fall, and no one can resist it. Their men anxiously asked everywhere where there was a way out, how to take their families to escape the devils.

Their women are very calm, they know that thousands of soldiers are looking for a way out, no one can get out, they have no hope of living.

They waited helplessly for the last moment in the car with the elderly and children. Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, this place will be occupied by devils, and their only hope is for the whole family to die together.

Wang Mingming walked slowly, she thought of the corpses on the streets of the city, the disaster of the family on the Xuanwu Gate, and the people who were hacked to death on the cart on the side of the Shence Gate.

She was really worried about the fate of these people in front of her, once the devil hit them, their road would come to an end. A sorrow welled up in her heart. Her good mood for escaping from the occupied zone just now was gone.

A policewoman was talking to the occupants next to a large car. Wang Mingming slowed down and heard the policewoman say, "I have no money on me, please help me." Please. ”

The woman in the car said: "We sold all the clothes that a group of soldiers wanted to buy us. Now it's my kid's clothes that fit your body, you can give you a little bit. ”

The policewoman said: "I came here on a mission, and I didn't expect to be able to go back." I haven't eaten for a day and really don't have any money. I can't do it without changing my clothes. ”

The woman in the car said kindly: "It's not that we don't help you, it's difficult for us to escape." If you give us some money, you're helping us. ”

Wang Mingming understood what was going on. The policewoman was twenty-five or sixteen years old and very beautiful. I haven't eaten for a day, but I'm in good spirits. At this time, I can't help but have a sad look on my face.

If she doesn't change her beautiful police uniform, she will be in trouble. Wang Mingming stepped forward and said, "Boss, tell your kid to give her the clothes, and I'll give you the money." She took out the money and counted a few and gave it to the women in the car.

The woman in the car didn't seem to have seen the money, and she took the money as soon as she grabbed it. He said to his son next to the car, "Son, take off your clothes to this eldest sister." ”

The boy immediately took off his clothes and handed them to Wang Mingming. He said: "This sister is more beautiful and has a better heart, unlike my mother who is unwilling to help others. The devil is coming over, and he's going to pay back the money. ”

The woman in the car said angrily: "Stinky boy, what are you talking about?" See that I don't break your legs, and ask you if you dare to be poor next time. Go to the side. ”

As she spoke, she took a single coat and a pair of single pants from her baggage and gave them to Wang Mingming. Say, "Wear it underneath." ”

Wang Mingming took the policewoman to a dilapidated house and said, "Quickly change it." She gave her a few more pieces of money and said, "Find a way to buy something to eat." To live. ”

The policewoman said: "Eldest sister, you are my benefactor when you see the truth in danger, thank you." She bowed to her and thanked her.

Wang Mingming said: "Don't see outside, don't thank you." At this time, we should unite and help each other to deal with devils together.

"I think you're sitting on the trap, and it's amazing to be able to face the devil alone. You can survive without eating or drinking, which is not something that ordinary people can do. ”

The policewoman said: "The two male policemen who came with me knew how to water, and they found a door panel to cross the river. I didn't go with them because I wasn't good at water.

"I managed to escape here, and I had nowhere else to go. I was desperate and exhausted and prepared a fruit knife, the devil came, I couldn't dodge, so I cut my throat and killed myself.

"I didn't expect that the War of Resistance was not won, the devils were not eliminated, I would be hunted down by the devils, and I would die in the massacre of the devils, I was unwilling."

She cried out in despair. She couldn't be more sad. With heartfelt sorrow, she cried for herself, for Nanjing, and for the fate of the country.

Wang obviously wanted to comfort her, but what could he say. is the same person who has fallen to the end of the world, and he is also unwilling to bow his head in the face of the massacre of devils. She also cried and hugged each other tightly.

A group of unarmed soldiers and civilians rushed from the west in a panic. They hurried east. Someone pulled one and asked, "Sir, where are you going up?" ”

A few people on the side heard someone asking for news, and gathered around and craned their necks to listen.

The man stood down and said, "Fellow, it seems that you haven't heard that the devil has been killed. The devils rushed out of the Rujiang Gate, and several machine guns fired at the crowd.

Women, men, old people, and children cried and cried again, and many fell down before they knew what had happened. Miserable!

"Those of us who were far away, saw that the situation was not for us and fled, and we relied on the pits and pits to save our lives. The people who ran off the road were chased by the devil's motorcycle, and they were all killed.

"The only place where they can survive now is Qixia Temple, where the master is sheltering refugees, and the devils have no way to take them, so they dare not enter the temple to kill people.

"From here, there is a backroad to the east that can bypass the devils of Xiaozhuang, and then from a dirt road between Wulong Mountain and Yaohuamen to Qixiazhi. There are no devils on this road, and big cars can walk.

"There are a few people in front of me who take the initiative to lead the way, this is a way to escape, if you want to live, follow it quickly. In this way, it is better to wait for death here, than to be a dead horse and a live horse doctor.

"It's a clean place now, the devil hasn't arrived yet. When the devil comes over tomorrow, he won't be alive. After he finished speaking, he slipped into the crowd and walked quickly.

One woman thought he was right, and she said to her man, "Hear me, the devil is coming, so let's go with him." It's better to break through than to wait here for death. ”
