71 [Blessings are unparalleled, and disasters are not singular]
In the mountains, there are often natural caves that are used as nests by clever beasts. It's just that after the proliferation of guns and other weapons of mass destruction, the living environment of wild beasts has become even worse, and many wild beasts have been unlucky.
The beasts retreated, and the ownerless cave became an excellent shelter for humans. Shelter from the wind and snow can also play a certain role in cold protection, which is not easy in the wild.
At this moment, the four or five women hiding in the cave were unkempt and shivering with cold.
On that day, a small group of Japanese puppet soldiers accidentally discovered the villagers who were being transferred, and they were about to catch up. Chen Hui led more than a dozen militiamen to block the enemy at the cliff and cover the retreat of the villagers.
Blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular.
As soon as he walked more than ten miles, he encountered two bandits patrolling the mountains. After a gunshot rang out, a bandit who didn't know where he learned this passage stood up and swaggered out and said:
"I opened this road, I planted this tree, if you want to pass from here, leave the road to buy money. Dare to say no, go forward and rub your head, die in the wilderness, and don't care about burying it. Send it to the lookout platform and never come back. ”
The militia was also absent, and hundreds of unarmed villagers could only be slaughtered. The chief of the village had no choice but to go to negotiate, hoping to let them go for the sake of making up dozens of pieces of the ocean.
Hundreds of people help the old and the young, with all their belongings, can only make up dozens of pieces of the ocean?
The two bandits were not convinced.
The bandits have guns, and the cottage is not far from here, and they are unscrupulous.
One bandit held a gun to intimidate everyone, and the other bandit said triumphantly: "Old man, it's not that our two brothers don't agree, it's just that there are more than 100 brothers in the stockade, and they are all waiting to be fed, which is not enough!" ”
"Then you make a price, we will not shirk what we can do, I just hope that the two heroes can let us go of the whole village." The chief said helplessly.
The bandit looked at the villagers below and had an idea in his mind, and he said to the security chief, "50 bags of grain, fill the stomachs of the brothers." 200 oceans to earn some pocket money for the brothers. Finally, there will be another lady in the village, and she will live! I promise you to leave in peace. ”
As soon as the chief was about to bargain, the bandit's muzzle was put on his chest, intentionally or unintentionally.
Looking at that look, as long as he dared to say half a word, the bullet would have to be sent into his body, and he could only reluctantly agree.
Liu Ruonan, who was standing in the middle of the team, didn't want to make trouble.
Although he is as brave as a man in love, she is still a novice and doesn't understand anything in this kind of complicated social issues.
It's better to leave this kind of matter to an experienced security chief.
But slowly, she noticed that the bandits and the security chief looked at her a little wrong, as if she was going to be unlucky.
Sure enough, the chief security officer walked up to her and said, "Comrade Liu Ruonan, you have also seen the situation. We can't do anything about these bandits, we can scrape together the money and food.
But this lady of the village, the bandits are right for you, and I also talked to him well, so I bought time to inform you. Look at this .........."
"Sacrifice for the people of the whole village, right?" Liu Ruonan asked rhetorically.
She is a little white, not a fool, and she has this attitude. It's lice on a bald head, it's a matter of plain sight.
pierced this layer of window paper, and the chief was no longer reserved, "Yes, I hope Comrade Liu can carry forward his style and make some contributions to the villagers, of course, the villagers will remember you." ”
"Contribute to the people of the whole village, why don't you go!" Liu Ruonan's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Righteousness is awe-inspiring and generous to others, this matter doesn't fall on you, you are not afraid!"
In the hands of bandits, how good can that be? You made a contribution to the whole village lightly, and you threw me a weak woman out to block the gun, you are really powerful. ”
The bandit saw that there was a quarrel here, and knew that the girl he saw right was unwilling. In his heart, he secretly scolded this chief of the security guard, and stepped forward with a gun, wanting to forcibly take people.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he approached, a black hole muzzle was pressed against his head.
"Spare your life, woman." The bandit knelt down at once, and begged for mercy very quickly: "I have an 80-year-old mother on the young, and a three-year-old child waiting to be fed, begging the woman to spare her life!" ”
With a "snap", a bloody hole appeared in the bandit's head.
"I still want to delay time, and I have something to die of." If he hadn't seen the guy who wanted to act in the distance, Liu Ruonan would have been moved.
The other bandit was just about to raise his gun to shoot, but Liu Ruonan snapped two shots at him. Although both shots missed, they also scared the bandit enough to hide behind the rocks.
People have a herd mentality, some people take the lead in setting off a rebellion, and some people follow suit. More than a dozen people picked up the wooden sticks in their hands and rushed towards the remaining bandits with a scream.
There was a burst of sticks, and the bandit didn't even have a chance to shoot, and was directly beaten to death.
The two bandits were killed, and although the crisis at the moment was solved, they also faced an even greater crisis.
The bandits' stockade is not far from here, and it is very likely that they heard the gunshots and rushed to find that the two bandits did not return on time to search.
The pace of the villagers' transfer has accelerated a lot, but Liu Ruonan has suffered a loss this time and can't believe the people in this village.
pulled a few women who were also from the Women's Relief Association, walked at the back of the team, and maintained a close relationship with the team.
Sure enough, just a few miles away, a group of bandits rushed down from the mountain, trying to rob them.
Killing two bandits is equivalent to turning against the bandits in the cottage, and being caught by the other party and killing them directly is a cheap way to die. If it doesn't work out, there are many ways to dig out your heart and lungs, and cook and torture people.
The villagers immediately scattered and ran away from all directions. Liu Ruonan directly pulled a few women around him and ran towards the road behind him.
Luckily for them, the bandits chased the two men with the guns, and the other villagers distracted them, and the five women managed to escape from the bandits.
Before the sun went down that day, they found an abandoned cave and a shelter from the elements.
Heavy snow fell on the mountain that night, burying their footprints in the mountain and solving one of the biggest threats.
Liu Ruonan and the other four women, relying on the dry food in the baggage, also managed to persevere for three days with the snow water melted by the heavy snow.
It's just that they are in the bandits' sphere of influence, and no one dares to go out to call for help, for fear that the bandits will find footprints and block the door.
On the fourth day, a relatively young woman said with a sad face: "When are we going to wait until now, and the bandits' cottage will not be moved, will we be trapped here all the time?" ”
Another older woman frowned, "Er, his daughter-in-law, it's useless to talk about this." At this moment, we can only wait, otherwise we will go out and fall into the hands of bandits, which will really make the sky unacceptable, and the earth will not work. ”
The other two women were more optimistic, one looked at Liu Ruonan and said: "Ruonan is the mother-in-law of the Yuan battalion commander of the independent regiment, as long as one villager rushes out."
This Yuan battalion commander will come with hundreds of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, and a wave of small bandits is nothing. At that time, let's follow the comrades of the Eighth Route Army, and there will be no problem. ”
Liu Ruonan smiled embarrassedly when she was said, and the two women seemed to have regained their confidence, and their brows furrowed.
Liu Ruonan estimated in his heart that the rest of the dry food would be eaten slowly, and he could hold on for another two or three days.
The big hero in her mind doesn't need to step on colorful auspicious clouds. As long as she can get there in time, she will be very happy.
