The closed iron door was not opened often, but every time it was opened, there would be one less person in the room, some of them were carried out when they died, and some were carried out and died again......

Until one day, a man in a white coat walked into the room, pointed at Nini's mother and said a few words, and immediately two Japanese soldiers picked up Nini's mother and dragged her out of the room.

Nini hugged her mother's leg tightly, she knew that if she went out of that door, she would never see her mother again, just like the aunts and sisters who were carried away before......

But her resistance had no effect, and instead was rewarded with a hard kick from the white coat.

Nini's mother turned her head, her eyes full of love and reluctance, but she struggled to squeeze out a smile and said in a hoarse voice.

"Nini, don't be afraid, mom will be back......"

"Bang!" The iron door was shut, and the sound of dragging faded away.

From that day on, Nini's mother, like everyone else, never returned.

Nini still huddles in the corner every day, delivering food to the rest of the people, but unlike before, she keeps asking the adults every day.

"Auntie, do you know where my mother went?"

"Sister, do you know when my mother will be back?"

And whenever someone came in to change the bucket, she would pounce on the person's leg and ask hard about her mother's whereabouts, even if she was beaten every time, she still insisted.

The adults in the room couldn't bear to watch Nini suffer anymore, and told her while crying silently.

Your mom went out to find your dad and will be back to pick you up soon, so you just have to wait obediently and it won't be long before you see mom again......

Nini believed it, and never asked or cried again, and the most she did every day was to sit in front of the big iron door, softly humming an unknown nursery rhyme, which her mother would hum to lull herself to sleep whenever she couldn't sleep.

She sang over and over again, refusing to stop even when her voice was hoarse and her lips were cracked.

Because she believed that her mother would come back to her, and it was so big that if she heard the singing, her mother would know where she was......

Time passed, and suddenly one day, all the iron gates were opened, and countless Japanese soldiers shouted and drove people out.

Under the pressure of the bayonet, several people who could still move worked together to lift up those who could not move, and under the beating and scolding of the Japanese soldiers, they staggered downstairs.

Nini also walked in the middle of the crowd, looking back and forth with big eyes, trying to find her mother.

The crowd went downstairs and lined up to the lobby on the first floor.

Zhang Cheng took a look and found that the hall was different from now, there was a statue of a Japanese soldier in the center, and a huge sun flag was hung on the wall facing the gate, and a photo of the Japanese emperor was below.

The steps leading to the cave were also not sealed, except for an iron door at the entrance.

The crowd was driven down one after another, and soon it was Nini's turn, but Nini suddenly hugged the legs of the Japanese soldier next to her and pleaded: "Uncle, if I leave, my mother won't be able to find me when she comes back, can I not go down." ”

She was answered by a heavy slap, and Nini's thin body flew out in an instant, her forehead slammed against the wall, and her little face was covered with blood, and she fell to the ground moaning in pain.

And the Japanese soldier who shot was still full of pride, and bent his arm at the person next to him, as if showing off his strength.

A Japanese soldier next to him seemed to be a little unconvinced, walked up and grabbed Nini's little feet, lifted it upside down directly, and kept slamming it in mid-air, laughing uncontrollably, ignoring Nini's screams and pleading.

After picking for a while, it seemed that it was boring, and the Japanese soldiers threw Nini, who had only half a life left, on the ground and forced the two prisoners to carry Nini into the underground passage.

During this period, some people seemed to have a nervous breakdown, crying and trying to escape, but the hall was full of Japanese soldiers with loaded guns, and before they could run to the gate, they were knocked to the ground by a shot.

Seeing such a cruel scene, the rest of the people were silent, and one by one they walked down the steps to the cave below.

Nini was carried and looked a little dazed, but she tried to keep her eyes open, not wanting to miss the opportunity to meet her mother.

There are several shelves in the cave, on which are hung several large searchlights, which illuminate the surrounding snow.

Zhang Cheng glanced at it and found that there was no corpse water in the first cave, it was just an ordinary cave, and there was no water tank in the second cave, and this memory of Nini should be before those villagers were killed.

After following the underground passage to the huge cave where the iron coffin was placed, Zhang Cheng found that there were already many Japanese soldiers standing here, and a wooden platform was erected at the edge of the funnel, and a person wearing a white robe and a high crown stood on it, holding something like a spirit flag.

is an onmyoji again, Zhang Cheng was angry when he saw the appearance of the man wearing linen and filial piety.

All the prisoners were driven to the edge of the circular stone pit, and when they looked at the huge iron coffin below, everyone had a look of horror on their faces.

Onmyoji slowly walked down the wooden platform, and there were five women kneeling under the wooden platform, their heads lowered to see clearly.

Onmyoji took a paper crane from his sleeve, slashed the back of the first woman's neck, took a little blood and put it on the crane, and then threw the crane into the air.

But the crane only spun around in the air a few times, and then fell to the ground in a swaying manner.

Onmyoji shook his head, and a Japanese soldier next to him immediately stepped forward and stabbed a bayonet in the back of the woman's heart, and the woman screamed in pain and fell to the ground.

The next three women were all the same, and the Onmyoji all took a little blood and put it on the crane, but the crane shook and fell to the ground, until the last woman ......

This time, the crane flipped in mid-air, and instead of falling, it flapped its wings and flew towards the prisoners.

When the onmyoji saw it, his face was immediately overjoyed, and he hurriedly followed behind with a group of Japanese soldiers.

The paper crane swayed for a while, and suddenly fell and fell on a little girl who was being carried.

This little girl is Nini......

When the onmyoji saw it, he immediately shouted a few words, and immediately a Japanese soldier stepped forward to bring Nini over.

Nini screamed loudly in fright, and the woman who had been keeping her head down seemed to finally have consciousness, slowly raised her head, and when she saw Nini who was caught in the armpit by the Japanese soldiers, she immediately cried loudly, struggling to rush over.

But as soon as she moved, she was immediately pressed down by the Japanese soldiers behind her.

The Onmyoji's face was full of fanaticism at this time, and he shouted a few words to the sky, and the Japanese soldiers around him also raised their arms and shouted at the same time.

In the frenzied shouts of the Japanese soldiers, the woman was dragged down the stone pit by the Onmyoji, came to the side of the iron coffin, and forcibly stuffed it, and the eight Japanese soldiers next to her lifted the heavy coffin lid together, "Bang! A thud fell on top of the iron coffin.
