Chapter 2, Section 6, Women are the worst

Six: Women are the worst

The business of Jinling Silk Village is very light, the second sister and the people in the company go to work on time every day, and there is nothing to do when they arrive at the class. Everyone chatted about the battle situation at the front.

The second sister listened to the news broadcast every day, and the radio broadcast the battle situation on the front line and the retreat of the army every day. She told the guy the news.

After lunch, the second sister took advantage of the lunch factory break to go to the textile factory to meet with a worker leader of Aunt Sun. They haven't known each other for a long time and have already made friends.

The second sister likes to tell Aunt Sun the news she heard. She prefers to listen to Aunt Sun's analysis of the front-line battle situation and her judgment of the situation.

Sometimes Aunt Sun would ask her to attend workers' meetings, and the second sister would hear some news and things that she couldn't hear, and she was very excited to hear them.

Since the second sister was with the textile worker, she no longer felt lonely and lonely. No longer be afraid of the coming war.

The sisters got together to engage in propaganda, sing anti-war songs, and listen to the workers' leaders talk about the situation and the truth of the anti-war war. These are extremely fresh and meaningful to the second sister.

The culture of the workers is not as good as that of the second sister, but they know more than the second sister and stand tall and see far. They told the second sister a lot of truths about resistance.

also often talks about the international and domestic anti-Japanese war situation to the second sister. The second sister had never heard of these things in the past.

The second sister often watched groups of people fleeing from the occupied area at the door of the foreign bank. Among these people are the poor and the rich are large. They are dusty, adults and children are exhausted.

A family from the occupied area stopped their car at the entrance of the foreign company. The man of his family walked up to the second sister and asked the second sister for food.

The old Li Tou, who was guarding the door, came over and gave him a piece of baked cake and sent him away. He said: "There are so many people fleeing that we can't control it." Let's get out of here quickly. ”

The second sister saw that the young hungry woman sitting on the cart had straight eyes, yellow face, and bent waist, and she looked at the second sister with begging eyes.

She seemed to be saying to the second sister, "Beautiful young lady." Your kind heart is as merciful as a bodhisattva. Help us who are desperate.

"We managed to escape from the ghost gate of the Japanese army, and now hunger is about to take our lives. Give us a hand. ”

Standing next to the car was a boy of seven or eight years old. He looked at the second sister with a dull gaze, and he could see that the second sister was the master here. As long as the master speaks, he can eat his stomach.

The man tore the biscuit into two pieces and gave it to the child and the woman. The boy shook his head and asked his father to eat, but the woman took the half of the bread and did not eat it, but put it in the pocket of her clothes.

Their demeanor touched the second sister. Hunger has not changed their good nature. are willing to sacrifice themselves to protect their families. They are caring for each other and getting through this together.

The second sister sympathized with them very much, and a piece of baked cake couldn't help them. The second sister said to Lao Litou: "You go to the room, tell them that I said it, and bring the leftovers to them."

"Don't forget to bring two bowls to them. Feed them enough for two days. ”

Old man Li complied. The boy saw that his father had taken the meal, and he came to the second sister and knelt down and kowtowed three times to the second sister to express his gratitude.

The second sister said: "Don't thank the good boy, it's not something delicious, you can only fill your stomach." Go eat it. ”

The boy filled a bowl of rice for his mother, and he saw that his mother had eaten him before he filled the rice for himself. The man nibbled on the baked cake that Old Man Li gave him.

The second sister watched the child gobble up, she remembered that she and her brother were in exile, and they were both fallen people at the end of the world, and she couldn't help crying.

The child and the woman finished the bowl of food, and seeing that they were not full, they still wanted to eat. They put down their jobs and stopped eating. Obviously, it's to save money.

The man thanked the second sister again and again, and he said to the second sister: "That day, I took my wife and children to the mountains to open up wasteland, and I returned to the village after dark.

"We saw from afar on the hillside that our beautiful village was gone. We ran towards the village. Gradually, we were amazed to see that the village had been burned to the ground.

"Fear is coming at us. We cautiously walked into the village. My wife suddenly screamed in fright, and in the starlight she was the first to see a dozen headless corpses.

The corpse lay on the ground. It was a man from the village who was beheaded with his hands tied. Their heads were thrown far away.

"I helped my wife to my house, and I always had to go to the house. It was dark, I was flustered, I tripped over something on the ground and almost fell. I looked back and saw that the hairs on my body stood on end.

"It was a man who had been buried alive, leaving his head outside. I tripped over that head. My legs went limp. It wasn't for holding my wife, I almost fell down.

"It occurred to me that I couldn't shout no matter how scared I was, I was afraid of scaring them. I plucked up the courage to calm myself down. I helped my trembling wife to continue walking.

"When we arrived at the old locust tree in the village, my wife was stunned for a moment, then suddenly gasped and turned around and hugged me, she was so frightened that she trembled. The child jumped over and hugged my leg.

"I held my wife in one hand and the child in the other. Before my eyes was a bleak scene. Villagers hung one by one on the old locust tree, and under the tree was a large corpse of Bai Huahua.

"Women, young and old, naked [***] all die here. Some were dug up alive and died of pain, and some were broken by the army. More were annihilated with their backs facing the sky with their legs apart.

"There is not a single living mouth left in the village. The bustling water town has turned into a ghost in the blink of an eye. I hated and feared it, so I took my wife and children out of the village and told them to sit down on the side of the road.

"I can't stay here anymore because I don't have a home. I went back and wanted to find some food or something to eat. As a result, nothing was found. All the food in the village was robbed.

I was disappointed and ready to leave. There was a snort from the foot of the wall. I was taken aback. I looked around and couldn't hear any movement, so I mustered up the courage to run over and found that it was an old man named Shuisheng in the village.

"He was stabbed in the stomach and was dying. I shouted at him, telling him who I was. I asked him what was going on in the village.

He seemed to come to his senses, and intermittently said that it was a devil, and that this devil did it. Run away, stay alive, and take revenge in the future. With that, he died.

"My kid saw that the uncles and aunts he usually knew, and the children he played with were all dead. He was stunned. When my wife saw that all the women were forcibly killed by the devils, she was stupid.

"They were so frightened that they didn't know how to cry or shout. I dragged them over the mountains and mountains overnight to escape. They are only now relieving.

"Villages along the way were razed to the ground and people were slaughtered. We have no money, no food. There is nowhere to beg. We can only eat the wheat seedlings in the field and the weeds by the ditch to satisfy our hunger.

"On the road, we were bombed by Japanese planes, and many people like us were killed, and our family escaped in the cemetery.

"We picked up a cart and futon and it was our only possessions.

"I just arrived in Nanjing and saw that Nanjing was retreating, and I had to take my wife and children with me again. I don't have the money to cross the river, and I don't have any relatives in the mainland. I went to Zhonghua Gate and from there to Anhui.

"I've thought about it, as long as I still have a breath, I'm going to take my wife and children away. Where there are no devils, I will go. Death of starvation cannot fall into the hands of devils.

"This good sister go quickly, this army is about to fight, they are not an army, they are the devil who eats people. It's a nine-headed bird.

"It is said that once the army enters the city, it will kill people first, and if it stays in Nanjing, it will be dead."

After the man finished speaking, he pulled up the cart and left.

The guys from the foreign bank were frightened, and they left several times that day. Everyone wants to save their lives.

The second sister said to the employees who did not leave: "If you have the conditions to go, it is better to leave as soon as possible." We all have to go, and we won't stay in Nanjing and be captured by devils. ”
