"Boss, is this all right?"

Lao Dao sat in the back, and said with some trepidation pointing to the old man who was lying on his lap.

The old man was still in a semi-comatose state, but he was able to open his eyes, but he only opened them for a while and closed them, and his speech was intermittent.

He woke up,

Awake indeed,

But this awakening,

In fact, strictly speaking, it should be regarded as a return to the light.

He woke up,

It's almost gone.

He has been alive and holding on to his breath, before Zhou Ze felt that it might be because of his tenacious vitality or better medical conditions plus some divine favor, but now that he thinks about it, maybe he does have something that he can't let go of, and this incident makes him unwilling to close his eyes like this.

Xu Qinglang was driving the car, he was driving fast, and at the same time he was also very steady, and he had to be steady, because maybe with a sudden brake or a big turn, the old man behind him would directly carry it in one go.

It was a crazy thing to kidnap a patient from the sanatorium, and it was a patient who had been in a dying coma for a long time, but Zhou Ze did not regret it, and he did not have the slightest psychological burden.

Although the old man didn't explain it, his attitude had already been expressed,

Three villages,

It has always been in his heart, and it has never been erased.

In fact, people are forgetful animals, and everyone always subconsciously blurs what they don't want to see and erases the memories that make them painful.

Many people are unfazed and indifferent to the departure of the old people who were comfort women one by one, but they do not know that their departure one by one is tantamount to slowly sealing that period of history to us.

There are some things, in fact, that cannot be forgotten.

When he arrived on the street of Xingren Town, Xu Qinglang got out of the car, and then carried the old man out with Lao Dao.

"Brother, if you hold on a little longer, it's almost there, it's almost there."

Lao Dao encouraged the 99-year-old brother.

Xu Qinglang felt the old man's hand pressing on his shoulder, and exerted a slight force.

And the old man's half-open eyes also looked at Zhou Ze, his eyes were very cloudy, as if covered with a layer of gauze, his body was already exhausted, he was going down to rest, he also needed to rest.

"The villagers are here." Zhou Ze said seriously, "I don't know what they are waiting for, but since you woke up because you heard me say the words 'Three Villages', it means that I didn't find the wrong person, and you are also worried about them." ”

Saying,

Zhou Ze stretched out his hand, combed the old man's already small hair, and then helped the old man tie the buttons on the patient's gown.

The old man has returned to the light,

The merits and demerits of the demerits will be said by their descendants,

The disturbances of the past are difficult for modern people to substitute and evaluate.

At least, there is one thing that can be proved that when the old man was a soldier in the Tongcheng Security Regiment, he did not go to be a deserter, nor did he become a traitor, and when a Japanese division landed in the harbor near Tongcheng, there was no Chinese regular army in Tongcheng.

However, relying only on the spontaneous resistance of the local armed security regiment and the residents, the Japanese army also paid a lot of losses, and even, the local local armed forces have planned more than once to counterattack the city gate, when the large army and the center of gravity are shifted to the southwest.

In this isolated Japanese-occupied area, there are still people resisting, and there are still gunshots.

The old man was still looking at Zhou Ze, looking at it, he started to cough, his teeth were about to fall out, and he looked very weak when coughing, but he was laughing.

And then

He stretched out his hand with difficulty, as if he wanted to reach Zhou Ze.

Lao Dao looked worried for a while, thinking to himself, brother, you should be calm, don't toss yourself outside before you go in.

Zhou Ze stood there and didn't move,

Let the old man's wizened hand gently grasp the clothes on his chest,

The old man grasped it very reluctantly,

Then, Zhou Ze sensed that his chest was lightly pressed twice,

there

It is the position of the heart.

After the old man finished this action, the whole person drooped, as if all his strength had been drained, and his breathing began to become disordered.

"Let's go in, hurry up."

After speaking, Zhou Ze began to circle around this position, and then rushed towards the road, and then the whole person disappeared directly.

Xu Qinglang took out a piece of talisman paper and pasted it on his forehead, and for a while, his Yin Tang began to turn black, and then he drew a scoop according to the gourd, and he also turned around a few times in that position and rushed over.

Lao Dao also followed a few laps at the end, and then rushed forward,

hey

didn't go in,

Hey, hey, hey.

Lao Dao smiled so much that his whole face was wrinkled into chrysanthemums, and he was really happy.

The little monkey looked at the old man's stupid appearance and turned sideways slightly, indicating that he didn't know the old pickles.

Entering the Three Villages again, Zhou Ze raised his head and found that the moon in the sky had almost turned blood-colored, and he was not like this when he came forward for half a day.

In this way, it may be that his own killing in the ancestral hall has intensified something, which invisibly made the situation here more urgent.

Therefore, once the old man Xu Qinglang is carrying can't resolve this place and break the game, then Zhou Ze, as a ghost, will probably have to call Xiao Lori to guard the exit position together.

When the time comes, can we successfully guard the pass so that these ghosts will not be left in the world,

Hard.

Xu Qinglang also came in with the old man on his back, and as soon as he came in, Xu Qinglang felt that the person he was carrying on his back sank, Xu Qinglang's eyes immediately widened, and he was a little incredulous:

No way

He's dead?

Grandpa, don't be scary, you haven't lived to be 100 yet?

Xu Qinglang was a little anxious and wanted to look back at the situation of the old man on his back, but he suddenly saw Zhou Zezheng looking behind him with a calm face.

"Put it down." Zhou Ze said.

Xu Qinglang slowly put down the body of the old man on his back, turned around, and saw a young man standing behind him.

The young man was dressed in a black military uniform, carried a rifle on his back, and wore a hat.

is a typical security regiment uniform, and some places even have patches, which look a little shabby, this costume is very common in the recent popular anti-Japanese war films.

He's dead

Is this his soul?

Old man

Oh no

The young man looked at Zhou Ze and Xu Qinglang, nodded slightly, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath, as if he was nostalgic and remembering.

Out of the corner of his eye, two lines of tears dripped down.

He's dead

But the tears did not flow because he died,

In fact, death is a relief for him, he has been lying in bed for too long, and he actually lasted too long before he fell unconscious.

He didn't know what he was holding on, his comrades-in-arms who had come out of the years had left one by one, and in the end, he was left alone.

He is about to live to be 100 years old, but he does not live to live to be 100 years old, he still has people to remember, and promises to remember, and ......

Debt of favors.

What the old man didn't know was that 9 years ago, when he was not in a coma, there was a man named Li Shi, who had planned to drive to the sanatorium to find him, and he could have come here 9 years earlier.

But the landlord who posted it, after all, can't compete with his own fate, and he can enter the three villages, which actually means that he has a short life.

Li Shi, after all, failed to run his life.

Perhaps, nine years ago, the villagers of this village were not crazy enough to this extent, and there were still people who ...... It's something that can talk, it's something that can communicate.

They told Li Shi something, and Li Shi also planned to go out and help them find the person they had been waiting for.

At this time, Zhou Ze saw the old man and the little girl coming over at the entrance of the village.

The old and young walked a little stiffly, the little girl pinched her sugar man, kept pulling, and the old man carried the hoe, his face turned blue.

At the corners of their eyes, there is a red light looming, and the corners of their mouths also have a hara that keeps flowing out.

It's getting worse and worse,

Over here.

The young man stepped forward, followed the ridge, and walked to the road.

He was not afraid, because he had no need to be afraid.

The debt that has remained in the bottom of his heart for nearly eighty years,

today

It's liberation.

The young man was already nearly a hundred years old, but at this time, he still took off his hat, waved it vigorously, and shouted:

"Uncle Xu, Ah Hua!"

Like, eighty years ago!

The old man heard the voice and was stunned for a moment,

The little girl also paused suddenly,

One old and one young,

Straight into stillness.

Xu Qinglang crossed his waist and stood beside Zhou Ze, a little worried: "It's going to be okay, right?" ”

"I can only try." Zhou Ze said.

Shaoqing,

The crimson in the old man's eyes began to fade, and he shouted: "Xiana Kangzi (young man), Xiao Chenzi, hey, you are back!" ”

The expression on the little girl's face also changed from ruthless to innocent, and she ran happily to the young man: "Uncle Chen, you're back!" ”

One old and one young, they all ran to the young man's side, and they couldn't help but be happy.

The young man turned his head and glanced at Zhou Ze and Xu Qinglang who were standing in the distance, then nodded heavily at the old and young in front of him, and said:

"Well, I'm back, I'm back!"

"What about the troops? Is the army back? Yesterday, I heard that the Oriental devils were still killing people in the city, and their bodies were hanging on the city walls. ”

"The troops, the troops are back." The young man yelled vigorously, "We're ready to fight the devil!" ”

"Good!" The old man waved his fist, and then said: "Come, before you leave, you told us to help collect food, and when the army comes back to give the troops food, the food in our village is collected and hidden under the ancestral hall. ”

"Does the big guy have anything to eat at home?" The young man asked worriedly.

"Hey, it's all the big guy's willing, let's get some wild vegetables to fill the hunger, and no one will die if you're hungry for a while, of course you're hungry, but it's nothing."

The old man took the young man's hand and walked towards the village, while the little girl was picked up by the young man and was very happy.

Zhou Ze in the distance heard this conversation,

Somewhat touched,

The old man said that it was okay to be hungry for a few days,

But they had been hungry for eighty years.

If you are hungry for a while, it is indeed okay for people;

But the hunger that lasted for eighty years was enough for even the ghosts to bear, and it was an unimaginable torture!

"Xiao Chenzi is back, and the big army is coming back!"

As soon as he entered the village, the old man shouted.

The entire Three Villages instantly boiled.

The old woman, who was sitting at the door of the house, was holding the soles of her shoes while dripping with a shoe, struck a spirit, stood up, and cried out:

"Xiao Chenzi is back!"

The widow, who was fetching water at the well and chewing her own hair, immediately spit out the hair in her mouth.

Noodles contain spring,

Revealing a touch of her style, she twisted her waist and shouted:

"Xiao Chenzi, if you don't come back, the old lady's chest will be hungry, and when the time comes, I can't find a man, you have to take my aunt and grandmother!"

In the tiled house, the man who was boiling the water immediately threw away the firewood in his hand and rushed out of the house with his wife's hand.

The villagers gathered one after another,

Together, they hugged the young people and walked towards the ancestral hall.

The blind old man sitting at the door of the ancestral hall stood up tremblingly, he heard the voice, and he also heard the movement, Xiao Chenzi, who had been recuperating in the village before, came back.

He said that the army would soon come back,

He said that the little devil can't jump for a few days,

He asked everyone to help prepare food for when the army returned.

The blind old man threw away his crutches and knelt on the floor of the ancestral hall, groping for the tiles with his hands, and then he lifted a few bricks.

Put your hand under the tiles, and when the crowd poured into the entrance of the ancestral hall,

The blind old man picked up the white rice in his hand,

Yell:

"Xiao Chenzi, grain!

The food prepared by the villagers for the large army,

We've been hiding,

The devil didn't find it,

Just keep it for the big army!

You're full, so you can fight devils! ”

The young man stood at the door of the ancestral hall, watching the blind old man keep sliding between his fingers.

Slowly raise your head,

He cried,

At the beginning, he was full of confidence, and when he was recuperating in the village, he told the villagers that the army would soon come back.

The folks believed,

But in reality,

The large army came back after nearly seven years, and the villagers did not wait for seven years later, in fact, less than a week after they had recovered from their wounds, the news of the village taking in the wounded and sick leaked out.

The Japanese army and the puppet army arrived here and slaughtered the entire village, young and old, to set an example.

This is also the reason why he did not want to fight the civil war and finally revolted,

Some people,

Still waiting for him,

Wait for him to go back.

The Japanese have already been beaten away, and he should go back as well.

"Really...... Can you have such a deep obsession? Xu Qinglang was shocked.

"There must be external factors."

Zhou Ze raised his head and saw that the blood moon in the sky was slowly becoming clearer, and the evil qi in the village was slowly dissipating;

At the same time, a crystal thing fell from the sky and fell into the thatched pile in front of it.

Zhou Ze walked over, looked for it, and found a bronze ring from the thatched pile, with strange lines on it, and when he held it in his hand, he felt heavy.

I didn't finish what I said just now,

Zhou Ze, who picked up the ring, continued:

"But foreign objects are foreign objects after all, and some obsessions are deep in the bone marrow, and foreign objects cannot be stopped.

otherwise

Eighty years ago, we were long gone. ”
