When Shen Yuyu woke up in the early morning of August 5, 2006, he saw a huge head and a pair of red eyes.

She looked blankly at Zhang Datou and muttered, "Where am I?" ”

Zhang Datou saw her wake up, and his eyes lit up: "Yuyu, you finally woke up!" You're in my house, I'm Zhang Datou, don't you know me? ”

Shen Yuyu's tears flowed out: "I'm in your house? Are you the head of Datou Village? ”

Zhang Datou nodded vigorously: "That's right, you are in my house now, I am Zhang Datou, you can see clearly, a person with a big head like me can't find a second person in Phoenix Village." It was we who carried you back from the peak of the plum blossom tip, and when we found you, you were so scary, with a high fever and talking nonsense. After we carried you back to the village, fortunately, Zhang Beifeng's kid's medical skills are good, and he boiled herbs and fed them to you, you finally had a fever, and now that you wake up, we are relieved. ”

Shen Yuyu smiled tearfully: "Datou Village Chief, it was Xiuxiu who asked you to go up the mountain to save us, right?" ”

Zhang Datou's face was gloomy: "Xiuxiu she-"

At this time, Zhang Hongliang, who was sleeping on the table in the hall, woke up, heard the sound of Zhang Datou and Shen Yuyu talking, and hurriedly walked into the room.

He looked at Shen Yuyu and said, "Yuyu, you're awake, you're scared of us!" It seems that what Zhang Beifeng said is not wrong, he did not misdiagnose! ”

Zhang Datou nodded.

Shen Yuyu asked Zhang Datou: "Datou Village Chief, what happened to Xiuxiu just now?" ”

Zhang Datou didn't speak, and went out with a gloomy face.

Shen Yuyu looked anxious, could it be that Zhang Xiuxiu had something wrong for her? She looked at Zhang Hongliang with a puzzled look: "Xiuxiu, what's wrong with her?" ”

Zhang Hongliang sighed and said, "Xiuxiu, she's missing." ”

Shen Yuyu said in surprise: "How could she be missing?" ”

Zhang Hongliang said: "I don't know where she has gone now, we estimate that she went to the plum blossom tip alone to find you and disappeared." She must not go to the tip of the plum blossom alone, Zhang Chang has been hunting all his life before the incident, his courage is one of the best in Phoenix Village, and he did not dare to go to the tip of the plum blossom alone to hunt, everyone in Phoenix Village knows that the tip of the plum blossom is dangerous! You didn't know, we should have stopped you at that time, and didn't let you go to the tip of the plum blossom, we are responsible! ”

Shen Yuyu's mood became very gloomy.

She should have listened to Zhang Xiuxiu's words, Xiuxiu dissuaded them from going to plum blossoms, blaming her curiosity, and it turned out like a nightmare.

Now Zhang Xiuxiu's life and death are uncertain, and Zhong Fei and Zhu will be in the future - Shen Yuyu said: "Have you found Zhong Fei and them?" ”

Zhang Hongliang shook his head: "We only found you in a coma with a high fever in the tent on the top of the mountain, and no one else found out." Zhong Fei, why aren't they with you? ”

Shen Yuyu's heart sank into a huge ice cave.

She said: "On the first night we went up the mountain, Zhong Fei disappeared, and that night was very terrible......

The next day, Zhu Future went to find Zhong Fei, and after leaving, he never returned to the top of the mountain......"

Zhang Hongliang was shocked when he heard it.

Zhang Datou walked in with a bowl of stewed chicken.

At night, after they came back from Zhang Changfa's house, Zhang Datou killed a little hen, stewed it, and waited for Shen Yuyu to wake up and eat it.

Zhang Datou thought, Shen Yuyu needed to replenish his body after this cold and fright, and he really couldn't get other good things at home, so he had to kill this little hen.

Zhang Datou brought the bowl of stewed chicken to Shen Yuyu and said, "Yuyu, you sit up and eat this bowl of stewed chicken, you must be hungry, and there are no other good things at home, don't dislike it." ”

Shen Yuyu said with tears in his eyes: "Datou Village Chief, I'm not hungry, I can't eat." ”

Zhang Datou said: "How can there be a reason not to be hungry, if you burn like that, your body must be very weak, how can you do it without eating something!" Sit up quickly and eat it while it's hot. ”

Shen Yuyu was so enthusiastic that he had to sit up and take the bowl of steaming, fragrant stewed chicken.

After Shen Yuyu took the bowl of stewed chicken, he looked at Zhang Datou and looked moved.

Zhang Datou said to Zhang Hongliang: "Hongliang, let's go out, let's look at her, she will be embarrassed to eat." ”

Zhang Hongliang nodded and exited the room.

Zhang Datou said to Shen Yuyu: "Yuyu, you are delicious, there is still it in the pot, after eating, you will say something, I will serve it to you." ”

With that, he also exited the room.

Shen Yuyu looked at his tired back, tears flowed down, what simple and kind people these are, she has burdened them and added unnecessary burdens to their peaceful life, and now Zhang Xiuxiu has disappeared because of them, and like Zhong Fei and them, I don't know if they are dead or alive......

Shen Yuyu's heart was in great pain, could she eat this bowl of stewed chicken full of true feelings? When I was in the city, there were always people who said how cunning and ignorant the peasants were nowadays......

If she hears something like this again, she'll spit in the face of the person who said it! Zhang Datou and Zhang Hongliang sat in the hall, both of them worried and worried.

Now that Shen Yuyu has woken up, she doesn't know where Zhang Xiuxiu is, and she hasn't seen Zhang Xiuxiu, Zhang Xiuxiu's whereabouts are the most anxious thing for them now, and Zhong Fei and them, if they can't find it, this is a big deal, they are all college students! Zhang Datou handed a cigarette to Zhang Hongliang, Zhang Hongliang shook his head: "I smoked too much this night, my mouth is as bitter as Coptis chinensis, I can't smoke anymore, you can smoke it yourself." ”

Zhang Datou lit a cigarette by himself, sighed and inhaled heavily.

Zhang Hongliang said: "There is no way, we still have to go to the tip of the plum blossom to find someone!" ”

Zhang Datou said: "Yes, you have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death, otherwise how can it be good." ”

The seventh sister-in-law walked out of the bedroom with red and swollen eyes and asked Zhang Datou: "Datou, Yuyu is awake?" ”

Zhang Datou nodded.

The seventh sister-in-law asked anxiously, "Does she know Xiuxiu's whereabouts?" ”

Zhang Datou shook his head.

The seventh sister-in-law's tears rolled down again, and she said while crying: "If Xiuxiu has three long and two short, I don't want this life, and I won't live anymore!" ”

Zhang Datou glanced at her and whispered: "You fucking want to cry back to the room to cry, Yuyu is eating stewed chicken, how bad it is for people to hear it!" ”

The seventh sister-in-law stopped talking, and was stunned and burst into tears.

Zhang Datou said to Zhang Hongliang: "There is no way, I have to go up the mountain again to find it!" Now you go and call everyone up, let them eat first, bring a stretcher, by the way, bring the gong too, and go up the mountain! ”

Zhang Hongliang said: "What do you do with a gong? ”

Zhang Datou said: "The gong is ringing, if they are all alive, but they are lost in the mountains and forests, and they can't get out, they will react when they hear the sound of the gong!" I'm afraid they won't hear our shouts, and it's not in vain. ”

Zhang Hongliang said: "The village chief is still knowledgeable and thoughtful. Then I'll go, you can eat something too, things are like this, and you can't rush to come! ”

Zhang Datou waved his hand: "Go, go-"

The soldier who had a bullet in his knee was called Ichiro Ozu.

After he was dragged into the hole, he did a simple bandage.

He lay in a corner of the cave, moaning.

Captain Itada ordered the soldiers to strengthen their vigilance, preparing to wait for the fog to clear before attacking.

However, the fog could not be dissipated.

They didn't dare to go out of the cave because they always felt that a gun was aimed at the hole.

The gun seemed to be elusive and omnipresent.

A day passed......

Two days passed......

Three days had passed, and the fog still shrouded the jungle, as if frozen in the jungle.

During these three days, Captain Itada sent two soldiers out of the cave in an attempt to reconnoiter the situation, but as soon as they came out of the hole, they were hit by flying bullets in the center of their eyebrows and fell on the hole.

Is this a ghost gun? The soldiers were terrified.

They can't help but be afraid, they can't eliminate that ghostly gunslinger, but they can be eliminated at any time.

On the fourth day, Ichiro Ozu's suppurated gunshot wound on the back of his knee was getting worse and worse, and he had a high fever and was talking nonsense.

The soldiers sat by the fire and looked at Ichiro Ozu with a staggered look at him, and the nonsense he said sent chills down their hearts.

Itada's face was gloomy, and he really wanted to go over and solve Ozu Ichiro with one shot, so that he would not be in pain and would not disturb the morale of the army.

But he didn't do it, he just gritted his teeth and looked anxious.

If it continues like this, his mission will be an impossible one.

Yataro was soft-hearted, he walked up to Ozu Ichiro, unscrewed the lid of the kettle, and fed water into Ozu Ichiro's mouth.

It was dusk, and it was already dark outside the cave.

Darkness will soon consume the fog as well.

Itada got up in an irritated mood, walked up to Yataro, snatched the kettle from his hand, and slammed it on the ground, screaming in rage.

His face was the color of pig liver, and his eyes glowed with a terrible light.

The soldiers looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

They were afraid that Itada would send one of them out to scout again, and they knew that death awaited them at any moment.

Itada gasped for breath after yelling.

He drew his saber, waved it, and then muttered, "Is it that an officer of the Imperial Japanese Army is trapped and died in this cave like this?" Is there no place for me anymore? Soldiers should die on the battlefield, how can I die here! ”

Itada suddenly rushed out of the cave in a frenzy, and in the gray twilight, brandished his saber and shouted, "If you are a warrior, you and I will fight a duel face to face!" What kind of hero is hiding in the shadows! Come out wow, come out wow, come out wow-"

Itada's roar hadn't fallen yet, and what the sweaty soldiers had feared had happened.

A bullet whizzed from the jungle and hit Itada's eyebrows, a hole the size of peanuts appeared in Itada's eyebrows, and blood flowed out of the hole, Itada's eyes were wide open, and the saber in his hand fell to the ground with a "clang".

He shook a few times and fell to the ground, whimpering for his life......

The soldiers were stunned.

Over the next few days, hunger began to torment the invaders.

The caller sat at the walkie-talkie, waiting for a voice to surprise him.

But what he heard was not a rustling murmur, but a rich baritone singing in Chinese, which was destroying what little bit of will he had left.

In the end, the caller frantically smashed the walkie-talkie and screamed wildly in the cave with headphones.

The soldiers, finding that the messenger was crazy, took off his clothes, cut strips of cloth with a bayonet, sat on the damp and cold ground, stuffed the strips of cloth into his mouth, and swallowed them.

The radio announcer choked on the strip of cloth he had swallowed, and his eyes were about to burst.

Yataro walked over and dragged the strip of cloth out of his mouth, which he continued to stuff......

The caller couldn't hold it anymore and stabbed himself in the stomach with a bayonet.

After the death of the announcer, there was a scene where they hunted bats.

……

There was a smell of blood in the cavern.

The skeleton named Yataro suddenly stopped chattering, Zhong Fei sensed his panic, and the skeleton left Zhong Fei in the dark, trembling back to its original place, lying on the ground.

The cave fell silent.

Zhong Fei didn't know what was going to happen in the cave, and he was already unconscious of anything terrible in his daz.

Zhong Fei had another vision in front of his eyes: the Japanese soldiers in the cave were dying of hunger, they were lying on the floor of the cave, the bonfire in the cave had long been extinguished, and the cold and damp cave was filled with a suffocating breath of death.

The soldier, Yataro, had not had time to carve a new line under the stone wall of the cave before he fell to the ground, and he had no strength.

Countless bats flew in from the mouth of the cave, screaming and pounced on them, biting and sucking blood where their flesh was exposed.

Yataro didn't even have the idea of struggling, and lay there, quickly sucking up his blood and dying in pain......

In the moment before he died, he remembered the seaside of Hokkaido, where a beautiful girl stood on the seashore and looked into the distance......

He finally slurred out an incomplete sentence: "This, this is our end—"

……

Zhong Fei seemed to hear the sound of heavy flapping of wings in the darkness, and many bats gathered towards him, and he thought of Song Li, Zhu Future, and Shen Yuyu......

43

Zhu Future had a nightmare.

He dreamed that he had become a little child and had come to a beach alone.

The waves were raging and there was a strong wind blowing on the sea.

With a sharp knife in his hand, he sat on the beach and smiled and cut his wrist with the knife.

He smiled as his blood bubbled up unrestrained, flowing down the beach and seeping into the fine sand.

The waves rushed up and swept away the blood that had flowed from his hands, and the sea turned red in an instant, giving off a sweet smell of blood.

The crimson waves rushed towards him, and he turned blood-red.

He didn't care, and after the waves receded, he continued to watch the blood trickle down his wrist.

At this moment, two women came rushing towards him from a short distance, shouting something as they ran, and he could not hear their shouts, but he could feel them shouting.

He was indifferent to them, he took a knife and wrote a line on the red sand with the blade: "I will die to be a man!" ”

As the two women ran to him, a huge wave struck him, and each of them stretched out a hand to take him, but he was swept up by the wave and carried into the middle of the sea.

At the moment when he was swept away by the waves, he saw the faces of the two women, one was his mother, and the other was Shen Yuyu.

He sank into the blood-red waters, a smile on his face......

The monster dragged into the cave with heavy steps.

He set aside the gun in his hand and added dry wood to the fire.

The dry wood burned and crackled.

Zhu Futures woke up from a nightmare.

He saw the monster, and the monster seemed to be very unhappy, and its strange face was gloomy and terrifying.

After the monster finished adding firewood, he took the gun again, disassembled the Type 38 rifle, and carefully wiped every part.

When he wiped his gun, his expression was focused, as if he was doing something important.

The process of the monster wiping the gun was very long, and the flow of time bit by bit tortured Zhu Future's fragile heart, and he didn't know what the monster would do to him after wiping the gun.

The monster finally finished wiping the gun and reassembled it, and he was so skillful in assembling the rifle.

After assembling the gun, the monster pressed the five bullets into the magazine one by one.

He pulled the bolt of the gun and pointed the gun at Zhu Future.

The monster's mouth spat out a cooing sound.

He seemed to be cursing Zhu Future.

Zhu Future looked at his expression and was really worried that he would shoot at him.

At this time, he thought of his mother and Shen Yuyu, and he suddenly felt how important these two women were to him, and injected some courage into his fragile heart.

Zhu Future suddenly said loudly: "Are you a human or a ghost?" Why are you arresting me? Why! ”

The monster put away its gun.

He looked at Zhu Future in a daze, staring at the two shiny little eyes.

The monster seems to be thinking, what is this prey in his hands talking about? The monster suddenly chuckled twice, and the laughter was full of disdain and contempt.

The monster picked up the bayonet from the ground and walked towards Zhu Future step by step.

The monster walked up to Zhu Future, lifted Zhu Future up from the ground, and made him stand against the stone wall.

The strength of the monster is amazing, and Zhu Future is like a weightless bird in his hands.

The monster's small eyes flashed with cold flames, and he shook it in front of Zhu Future's eyes with a bayonet, muttering something, he was obviously very excited when he spoke, and the muscles on his face kept twitching.

The little courage that came out of Zhu Future's heart just now disappeared without a trace.

The tip of the bayonet in the monster's hand slashed at Zhu Future's face, and Zhu Future heard the sound of the tip of the knife cutting through the skin, and a strange pain took control of his nerves.

Zhu Future felt the blood run down his cheeks all the way to his neck, and then continued to flow down, the blood flowing like a warm caterpillar crawling on his skin, and he was powerless to stop its movement.

Zhu Future was terrified to the extreme, at this time, neither his mother nor Shen Yuyu could appear, and it was impossible to give him strength.

The monster stretched out his index finger, wiped some blood on his face, and licked it on his scarlet tongue, and the monster tasted the salty smell of Zhu Future's blood.

The monster suddenly said: "Devil, I will defend my dignity with your blood......"

Although the monster's words were slurred and his voice was hoarse, Zhu Future heard it so truly.

Why would a monster suddenly say such a thing? Zhu Future fell into a fog.

Zhu Fufu said timidly: "I'm not a devil, I'm not a devil, I'm not-"

The tip of the bayonet in the monster's hand made another cut on Zhu Future's other face, and Zhu Future felt the hot blood flow down his cheek again......

Zhu Future suddenly remembered that nightmare, blood, blood, full of blood.

Zhu Future was shouting the names of his mother and Shen Yuyu in his heart, but how could they hear it? The desperate Zhu Future shed tears, he suddenly felt that he was so helpless, so weak, at this time, he was a rabbit in the hands of the monster, slaughtered by the monster at will.

The monster grunted as it spoke, spitting out of its mouth.

At this time, Zhu Future couldn't understand a word of the monster's words, as if the monster was cursing him in the most vicious language in the world, venting some anger and hatred in the monster's heart, yes, Zhu Future saw the anger and hatred in the monster's heart from the monster's eyes and facial expression.

Zhu Future is creepy.

Zhu Future thought that the monster must have suffered some great damage, and the person who hurt him may look exactly like himself, and the name of the person who hurt him is called Devil, and the monster must regard Zhu Future as the person who hurt him called Devil.

Zhu Future couldn't justify anything in the face of the monster, and the monster wouldn't listen to him.

Zhu Future can judge that the monster is a stubborn and crazy avenger, he will not reason with Zhu Future, he will cut Zhu Future's skin one by one, until he has no skin, until he sheds the last drop of blood, the monster may be able to relieve the hatred in his heart.

Zhu Future waited in fear for the monster to be slaughtered, he no longer had any psychological endurance.

Zhu Future's legs were weak, he collapsed, and sat on the ground with his buttocks.

The monster kicked him, sneered twice, and then muttered something, as if scolding Zhu Future for being a vulnerable softie, and as if to say: "Now that you have fallen into my hands, you don't want to escape from my palm again, I will slowly torture you into a corpse!" ”

Zhu Future collapsed, and fainted as soon as his head tilted.

44

The morning air was still so fresh, even though the fog shrouded the plum tip jungle.

Zhang Xiuxiu woke up and heard a few birdsongs in the thick fog.

When the blind mother-in-law saw her wake up, she said softly, "Xiuxiu, are you awake?" ”

Zhang Xiuxiu felt that her blind mother-in-law didn't close her eyes all night, hugged her and protected her.

Zhang Xiuxiu's heart was full of gratitude, and she felt that her blind mother-in-law had given her a huge sense of security.

Zhang Xiuxiu said: "Grandma, you are so good. ”

The blind mother-in-law touched her smooth hair: "Xiuxiu, I'm scared of you, grandma can't help it." ”

Zhang Xiuxiu said: "Grandma, you can't say that, if you hadn't come to save me, I might have been-"

The blind mother-in-law still touched her smooth hair and said, "Alas, it's all because of me!" ”

Zhang Xiuxiu asked, "Grandma, why is it because of you?" ”

The blind mother-in-law did not answer her question, but said sentimentally, "What a sin! ”

Zhang Xiuxiu didn't know why her blind mother-in-law sighed like this.

After a while, the blind mother-in-law asked Xiuxiu, "Is it dawn?" ”

Zhang Xiuxiu said: "Grandma, it's dawn, and there is light leaking in from outside the cave, and the birds are starting to call. ”

The blind mother-in-law said, "Xiuxiu, it's dawn, it's time for me to send you home, the tip of the plum blossom is too dangerous to stay here for a long time." Your mom and dad must be in a hurry right now, and you should go back too. ”

Zhang Xiuxiu suddenly said: "I won't go back!" ”

The blind mother-in-law felt very strange: "Why don't you go back?" ”

Zhang Xiuxiu said stubbornly: "I came up the mountain to find Shen Yuyu and them, and I won't go back if I don't find them." I don't know what happened to them, I'm really worried about them, grandma! If something happens to them, I'll be sad for the rest of my life. ”

The blind mother-in-law said, "Good hearted child! Your family has been so good for generations, your grandparents, your parents, and you are all the best people in the world, kind, generous, and sincere......"

Zhang Xiuxiu said: "Grandma, do you know my grandfather and grandmother? ”

The blind mother-in-law felt that she had slipped her mouth, and hurriedly added: "From your parents and you, it can be seen that your grandparents are good people." ”

Zhang Xiuxiu is a smart girl, she found that the blind mother-in-law had something to say, and the blind mother-in-law must have something in her heart that she didn't want to tell Zhang Xiuxiu, Zhang Xiuxiu wanted to know, but she was embarrassed to ask her, because the blind mother-in-law didn't want to say things, it was useless for her to ask, she never made it difficult.

Zhang Xiuxiu said from the moment her blind mother-in-law rescued her from that terrible trap last night, to the words she said when the mysterious man came to the outside of the cave: "He can smell me." ”

I know that the blind mother-in-law has many little-known secrets buried in her heart.

What is the real identity of the blind mother-in-law? Zhang Xiuxiu, like everyone in the village, knew nothing but that she was a lonely stranger.

Zhang Xiuxiu said gloomily: "I don't know what happened to Shen Yuyu and them?" ”

Listening to Zhang Xiuxiu's words, a trace of imperceptible gloom passed over the blind mother-in-law's face.

The blind mother-in-law asked seemingly lightly: "Who are the Shen Yuyu you are talking about?" ”

Zhang Xiuxiu said: "Grandma, don't you know, they are three college students from Shanghai. ”

The blind mother-in-law muttered, "...... from the sea University student? ”

Zhang Xiuxiu said seriously: "Yes, it is a college student from Shanghai. ”

The blind mother-in-law seemed to see a handsome man, he had a sunny and kind smile, and a beautiful singing voice, as if someone had heard that he was also a college student from Shanghai......

Thinking of that person, the blind mother-in-law was a little sad, how many years have passed, is he still living in the thick fog at the tip of the plum blossom? The blind mother-in-law returned to reality, she said, "Xiuxiu, why do they come to the tip of the plum blossoms? ”

Zhang Xiuxiu said: "They are here to play, and now people in the city like to play in places where no one has ever been." ”

"Play?"

The blind mother-in-law was puzzled, "Is the tip of the plum blossom fun?" Why did they choose to play at the tip of the plum blossom? ”

Zhang Xiuxiu didn't know how to answer the blind mother-in-law, but said: "Grandma, I want to go to them, while it's still early, grandma, can you accompany me to find them?" ”

The blind mother-in-law was silent.

After a long time, the blind mother-in-law said, "I should know where they are!" ”

The blind mother-in-law's tone of voice was very affirmative, which made Zhang Xiuxiu very surprised, how could she know where Shen Yuyu was? Isn't that a fantasy thing? However, Zhang Xiuxiu remembered that her blind mother-in-law magically appeared on the trap......

She believed in the blind mother-in-law's words a little, and Zhang Xiuxiu suddenly felt that the blind mother-in-law had an indescribable sense of mystery, maybe she could really take her to find Shen Yuyu and them.

Zhang Xiuxiu said, "Grandma, that-"

The blind mother-in-law sighed, as if she had some scruples, and said to herself, "I don't know if he will-"

Zhang Xiuxiu said: "Grandma, what did you say? ”

The blind mother-in-law said in a panic, "It's nothing, it's nothing-"

Then she stood up, picked up her crutches, and walked out of the cave with Shen Yuyu.

The blind mother-in-law stretched out her hand, grabbed a handful of the mist floating in front of her, pinched it, and said, "It's still such a thick fog, it's been decades, why doesn't it disperse?" ”

Zhang Xiuxiu still felt puzzled like last night, how could such an old woman as her blind mother-in-law walk freely in the mountains and forests of the plum blossom tip, as if she knew the terrain of the plum blossom tip well, even if it was a grass and a tree.

The blind mother-in-law took Zhang Xiuxiu through the jungle, up and down the hill, she walked like flying, and left Zhang Xiuxiu behind several times, and the blind mother-in-law had to stop and wait for Zhang Xiuxiu.

When the blind mother-in-law took Zhang Xiuxiu through the jungle, her mind rushed through the scenes of the distant times one by one......

Yang Wuping was lying in the jungle, his eyes fixed on the entrance of the cave.

It's been a long time, and he's just lying on his stomach like that.

Hu Cuigu went to the mountains and forests to pick wild fruits, fetched spring water from a kettle, put it next to Yang Wuping, and gave him food and drink.

For Hu Cuigu, he didn't say a word to her, although Hu Cuigu always spoke to him in a gentle and guilty tone, but he just didn't say a word.

After a long time, Hu Cuigu stopped talking to him, and when he was lying there, Hu Cuigu also lay next to him, looking at the entrance of the cave.

Yang Wuping's marksmanship is accurate, and he is well-known in the company, and instructor Jiang Feng often praises him.

When Jiang Feng praised him, Yang Wuping's face didn't have any expression, he just held the Type 38 rifle and looked into the distance intently.

This Type 38 rifle was captured from the Japanese devils in the first battle after he joined the New Fourth Army, and when he seized this gun, he secretly vowed to use this gun to kill all the Japanese devils.

The gun has been inseparable from him ever since.

Maybe Yang Wuping was born to be a sharpshooter, but Hu Cuigu heard Jiang Feng say that since Yang Wuping had a gun, he has changed as a person.

He always practiced aiming with a gun in his hand, and also asked the comrades in the company who were accurate in marksmanship how to better hit the target.

These are not new things for Hu Cuigu, and many soldiers in the troops of the New Fourth Army do this in order to improve their military quality.

But Jiang Feng said another thing about Yang Wuping's marksmanship, but Hu Cuigu remembered it for a lifetime.

Jiang Feng said that one night he was camping in the wilderness, and that night the sky was full of stars, and the comrades were asleep.

Jiang Feng walked over and found that the person was Yang Wuping, who had just joined the New Fourth Army.

Jiang Feng walked in front of him, he still motionless and aimed at the sky.

Jiang Feng said: "Yang Wuping, what are you doing here, why don't you go to sleep!" ”

Yang Wuping didn't even glance at Jiang Feng, but continued to aim at the sky.

Jiang Feng felt that Yang Wuping had gone mad, so he squatted down, approached him, and looked at Yang Wuping.

Jiang Feng got very close, and in the starlight, Jiang Feng saw a concentrated Yang Wuping.

Yang Wuping finally opened his mouth: "Instructor Jiang, don't get so close to me, the breath you exhaled rushed to my face, it's weird, it affects my marksmanship!" ”

Jiang Feng snatched the gun from Yang Wuping's hand, stood up, and said solemnly: "Comrade Yang Wuping, I order you to go back to sleep for me immediately!" ”

Yang Wuping also stood up, touched his head and said, "I can't sleep, so I'll practice aiming here." ”

Jiang Feng said: "Three watches in the middle of the night, which way do you practice aiming!" ”

Yang Wuping said: "I aim at the stars in the sky. ”

Jiang Feng listened to Yang Wuping's words, he was a little surprised, he had never heard of using the stars in the sky to practice marksmanship, this time, he had opened his eyes.

Jiang Feng returned the gun to Yang Wuping, and said to him with a serious face: "Your spirit is commendable, but it is not right to violate discipline, hurry back to sleep for me!" ”

Yang Wuping said: "I can't sleep! ”

Jiang Feng said: "If you can't sleep, you have to go back to lie down for me!" ”

Yang Wuping had no choice but to lie back to the camp, holding the gun and closing his eyes......

Hu Cuigu watched Yang Wuping, who was covered in injuries, lose weight, and felt very sad.

When Yang Wuping was guarding the cave, she secretly went down the mountain and wanted to find some food in Fenghuang Village to feed Yang Wuping, otherwise if it continued like this, Yang Wuping would collapse.

In addition, there was still a faint pain in her heart, and she still wanted to hide from Yang Wuping and secretly go to see the poor child, no matter what, he was also a piece of meat that fell from her body, although if the midwife was not present at that time, she would have thrown him to death......

It was the pain of her life, an indelible pain! However, when she infiltrated Phoenix Village, Phoenix Village was dead silent.

She didn't know that after they left, the people of Phoenix Village listened to the fierce gunfire on the mountain every day, and they panicked and fled in the direction of Qingshi Town.

Hu Cuigu had no choice but to dig some sweet potatoes in the fields of Fenghuang Village and returned to the mountain.

They were guarding the cave in the dense fog of the mountain forest.

I don't know how long it took, but they never saw the devil come out of the cave again.

One day, Yang Wuping came to the entrance of the cave, and Hu Cuigu followed him.

He didn't know if there were any living devils in it.

Yang Wuping held the gun and asked Hu Cuigu to throw a stone into the cave, and the stone rolled in the cave a few times, making a dull sound.

After waiting for a long time, there was a dead silence in the cave, and there was not a sound.

They crept into the cave.

There was a dead silence in the cave, and there was a strong stench of rotting corpses.

Hu Cuigu lit the pine fire.

The cave was illuminated by a pine fire.

They saw the corpses of rotting devils lying on the ground.

Hu Cuigu's stomach churned and she vomited violently.

Yang Wuping stood there dumbfounded, silent for a while, and then suddenly burst out laughing maniacally, his laughter making the cave buzz.

Hu Cuigu walked out of the cave, she really couldn't stay in the cave anymore.

Yang Wuping had been laughing wildly in the cave.

Hu Cuigu listened to Yang Wuping's wild laughter, and her heart tightened for a while......

The blind mother-in-law took Zhang Xiuxiu to the entrance of another cave, this cave was different from the cave where they hid last night, the entrance of the cave was full of vines, if it weren't for the blind mother-in-law who said that there was a cave here, Zhang Xiuxiu would not have found it at all.

They stood at the mouth of the cave, the blind mother-in-law's body trembling, and it was evident that she was terrified.

When Zhang Xiuxiu saw her like this, she was also a little scared in her heart, and the things that could make her blind mother-in-law panic were probably not ordinary things.

Zhang Xiuxiu thought to herself, Shen Yuyu, will they really be in this cave? The blind mother-in-law stood there hesitantly with a cane in one hand and Zhang Xiuxiu's hand in the other.

She may be thinking about it or not.

What happens when you go in? What kind of situation will she encounter? The blind mother-in-law didn't dare to imagine it.

A thick fog fills the jungle, giving off an overcast and cold atmosphere.

Zhang Xiuxiu felt more and more cold in the silence of her blind mother-in-law.

How she wished that her father would come here with the villagers and go into the cave with them to see what was going on.

As they stood silently at the entrance of the cave, there was a terrible scream from inside the cave......

46

The terrible scream came out of Zhu Future's mouth.

Zhu Future's hands were suspended from a protruding stone on the cave wall.

He was stripped of his clothes by the monster, leaving only a pair of black briefs.

Zhu Future's bare upper body was obviously protruding with ribs.

The bayonet-cut wound on his face was coagulated with blood scabs, and his thin face was red and swollen like steamed buns.

His eyelids drooped, and he looked weak.

The bayonet in the monster's hand was drawn on Zhu Future's chest, and a gurgling sound came out of his mouth.

Then, the tip of the bayonet in the monster's hand was inserted into Zhu Future's chest, and Zhu Future let out a terrible scream.

The monster watched the blood from the wound on his chest run out, laughed, and then walked over to the fire and picked up the Type 38 rifle.

He held the gun and pointed the muzzle at Zhu Future.

The index finger of the monster's right hand was hooked on the trigger, and as long as he gently hooked his finger, a bullet would shoot out of the chamber of the gun, accurately hitting Zhu Future's eyebrows.

Zhu Future still drooped his eyelids, at this time, he didn't look at the muzzle of his black hole, he felt that his blood was flowing rapidly.

What is death? Zhu Future's mind was empty.

He no longer had any hope of living, just waiting for the moment of death.

When the monster was about to pull the trigger, he heard a shout: "Yang Wuping, you put the gun down-"

The monster heard this heart-rending shout, and he turned his face to see the blind white-haired mother-in-law in black cloth on crutches, and behind her was a trembling girl.

The monster sneered, and then uttered a string of human words: "I smelled you last night, and I knew you weren't dead, you dead old woman, why aren't you dead, what are you doing, what are you doing, I don't want to see you, you get out, get out-"

The monster's voice was a little slurred, but Zhang Xiuxiu still heard the meaning of his words, she never thought that the savage-like person in the cave who was talking to the blind mother-in-law with a gun was Yang Wuping, how familiar this name was to her, she had heard her grandparents and father talk about it many times, saying that he was a hero, and he was also the biological father of her godfather Zhang Changfa.

Yang Wuping is this terrifying monster in the cave? Zhang Xiuxiu couldn't accept the reality in front of her, but she heard it right, her blind mother-in-law clearly called him Yang Wuping.

Zhang Xiuxiu was horrified to see Zhu Future, who was hanging there covered in blood, and her heart was beating.

What about Shen Yuyu? And what about the male college student named Zhong Fei? Did they flee, or did they ......

A layer of fog floated in Zhang Xiuxiu's mind.

She hid behind her blind mother-in-law in fear, not knowing what unexpected would happen next.

The blind mother-in-law whispered to Zhang Xiuxiu behind her: "Xiuxiu, don't be afraid, you go outside the cave and wait for grandma, I will definitely bring out the college student you said." ”

Zhang Xiuxiu didn't seem to hear the words of her blind mother-in-law, and stood there motionless.

Zhang Xiuxiu was very surprised that although the blind mother-in-law was blind, she was like a clear-eyed person who could see everything in the cave! She actually knew that the monster named Yang Wuping was aiming at Zhu Future with a gun.

The blind mother-in-law walked slowly towards Yang Wuping, and said tremblingly as she walked: "Yang Wuping, you can't shoot, he's not a devil, it's not-"

Yang Wuping's hoarse voice was also trembling: "Dead old woman, you get out of here, I don't want to see you!" He's a devil, he's a devil, he's taken our position, I've captured him, I'm going to kill him with my own hands! Our positions will not be lost, never will! Dead old woman, get out of here, it's enough for me alone, I can kill all the Japanese devils alone! ”

The blind mother-in-law said: "Wu Ping, do you know, he is not a devil, he is a college student, a college student from Shanghai, and like Instructor Jiang, he is a college student from Shanghai!" The Japanese devils have surrendered a long time ago, and the Japanese devils at the tip of the plum blossoms have long been wiped out by you, and now there are no devils, the world is peaceful, Wuping! You let this kid go, he's really not a devil! ”

The muscles on Yang Wuping's face twitched, and his hand holding the gun was trembling.

He let out a strange low growl in his throat.

He looked at his blind mother-in-law, and his two small eyes turned red: "Dead old woman, you lied to me, you have been lying to me, he is not Instructor Jiang, no!" He can't sing our New Fourth Army anthem, no! You've been lying to me! ”

At this time, Zhu Future seemed to see some kind of hope.

He saw Zhang Xiuxiu, saw the blind mother-in-law, he knew that they were here to save him, maybe the two women in his dream were not his mother and Shen Yuyu, but the blind mother-in-law and Zhang Xiuxiu.

His body was still bleeding, listening to the conversation between the blind mother-in-law and this monster, Zhu Future really wanted to shout out a New Fourth Army military song loudly, but he had never heard the song that had inspired many heroic children, he couldn't sing it, although he knew very well in his heart that as long as he sang that song, maybe the crazy monster would believe that he was the blind mother-in-law said about Instructor Jiang, or someone like Instructor Jiang, maybe he would put down the gun in his hand.

The blind mother-in-law still walked slowly towards Yang Wuping, and said as she walked: "Wuping, I didn't lie to you, although I have done things to be sorry for you, but I have never lied to you, and I am also a last resort." This kid is really not a devil, you must not treat the people who came to Plum Blossom Tip alone as a devil scattered in the jungle, the devils in Plum Blossom Tip have all been killed by you, and they are all trapped in the cave by you, wake up, Wu Ping-"

Yang Wuping's mouth spit out a gurgling sound.

The blind mother-in-law couldn't understand what he was saying, but she knew he was cursing! He made such a voice as proof that he was going to do something she didn't expect.

The blind mother-in-law walked to a place only three steps away from Yang Wuping and stepped on the bayonet that Yang Wuping threw on the ground.

She heard the sound of Yang Wuping pulling the bolt, and the blind mother-in-law's heart sank: It's not good, he's going to shoot and kill! At this time, the blind mother-in-law knew that she had no way to control Yang Wuping at all, as long as his madness attacked, he could do anything! In an instant, the blind mother-in-law threw away her crutches, grabbed the bayonet at her feet, and pounced like a she-wolf towards Yang Wuping, who was about to pull the trigger.

Zhang Xiuxiu's eyes widened in surprise when she saw this scene in front of her.

The gun went off, did not hit Zhu Future's eyebrows, and grazed past his left ear.

Zhu Future was frightened, and saw the blind mother-in-law pounce, pushing the gun in the monster's hand with one hand, and stabbing the bayonet into the monster's chest with the other.

The monster was still holding the Type 38 rifle tightly in his hand, but his body was limp.

Blood poured from his dark, scarred chest.

The blind mother-in-law, with a bloody bayonet in her hand, stood there with no expression on her face.

Zhang Xiuxiu was also stunned, she had never seen such a scene, and she never expected that her blind mother-in-law would stab a bayonet into Yang Wuping's chest.

Normally, when killing pigs in the village, Zhang Xiuxiu would hide far away, and she didn't even dare to kill a chicken.

Now, she actually saw her blind mother-in-law kill Yang Wuping with her own eyes.

Zhang Xiuxiu knew that the only way for the blind mother-in-law to stop Yang Wuping's crazy behavior was to use this only method, otherwise Zhu's future life would not be guaranteed, and the lives of the blind mother-in-law and Zhang Xiuxiu would also be seriously threatened.

Zhang Xiuxiu stood there trembling, she couldn't control the fear and panic in her heart.

The blind mother-in-law knelt down and picked up Yang Wuping, who was slumped on the ground with blood spitting out blood in her mouth.

She held Yang Wuping's head in her arms and couldn't cry.

Yang Wuping stared, looking at the blind mother-in-law, a large mouthful of blood sprayed on the blind mother-in-law's chest, and he let out a last whimper in his throat, and then he lost his breath.

Yang Wuping's eyes didn't close, he was still open like that, as if he was still guarding the tip of the plum blossom......

The blind woman stretched out her hand and wiped his eyes vigorously, and then his eyes were closed forever.

The blind mother-in-law choked up, unable to say anything, and the muddy old tears fell on Yang Wuping's face full of scars.

The blind mother-in-law caressed Yang Wuping's weather-beaten body, she had never touched this man's body so sincerely, even though she had been with him for decades......

Yang Wuping's body lay flat next to the fire, and he still held the Type 38 rifle that had followed him all his life in his arms.

At this time, he was so quiet, everything was already whistling in his ears.

The blind mother-in-law went out of the cave.

Zhang Xiuxiu guarded Zhu Fufu who was lying on the ground, her eyes full of tears.

Zhu Future looked at Zhang Xiuxiu with a smile and asked her softly, "Have you seen Yuyu and Zhong Fei?" ”

Zhang Xiuxiu shook her head: "Their whereabouts are unknown, the blind mother-in-law said, after applying herbs to your wounds, go to them." ”

The smile on Zhu Future's face disappeared, he closed his eyes, and his heart was praying, praying that Shen Yuyu and Zhong Fei were safe.

After a while, the blind mother-in-law returned, her face as solemn as frost.

She collected two herbs, one to treat knife wounds, and the other to treat Zhu Future's eroded hands that were eroded by the poisonous juice of the sumac tree.

The blind mother-in-law asked Zhang Xiuxiu to help her put the herbs on the stone and chop them together, and then applied them to Zhu Future's wound.

They had just dressed Zhu Future's wound when they suddenly heard a dull voice.

At first, it was the blind mother-in-law who discovered the dull voice.

She said to Zhang Xiuxiu: "Don't be silent, you listen-"

Zhang Xiuxiu held her breath.

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

A slow, dull sound came from somewhere in the cave.

Zhang Xiuxiu's heart lifted.

Zhu Future, who was lying on the ground, also heard the dull voice.

Could it be that there is anything else in the cave that frightens them? Zhu Future's heart also rose to his throat.

The blind mother-in-law's ears pricked up and twitched slightly.

She was discerning the direction from which the muffled sound was coming from.

The blind mother-in-law stood up and crept into the depths of the cave.

She came to a cave wall, lay down on it, and pressed her ear to the wall, listening to the dull sound coming from inside.

That's right, the dull sound came from within.

A hint of gloom swept over the blind mother-in-law's face.

I wondered if there were still people alive inside, and those rotting bones were still making terrible noises......

No, it can't be, absolutely not! The blind mother-in-law suddenly thought of the other two college students that Zhang Xiuxiu said, and she also thought of another trap, the trap dug by Yang Wuping, which could enter the cave on the other side......

The dull voice suddenly disappeared, the blind mother-in-law's face changed, and she said in her heart, not good! She hurriedly said to Zhang Xiuxiu: "Xiuxiu, bring the bayonet!" ”

Zhang Xiuxiu didn't know what the blind mother-in-law wanted the bayonet for, but she still listened to the blind mother-in-law's words, took the bayonet, and handed it to the blind mother-in-law.

The blind mother-in-law groped on the wall of the cave, and after a while, she seemed to have found somewhere, so she stabbed into the cave wall with a bayonet.

The blind mother-in-law dug the soil off the cave wall with her bayonet, her expression was very focused, and when she was digging the cave wall, a scene came to her mind: Yang Wuping and her used the red clay on the mountain to make thin mud, and then made pieces of adobe, sealed the part of the cave, and sealed the remains of those devils......

Zhang Xiuxiu thought, what is the blind mother-in-law doing? Is she going to dig up some hidden secrets......
