234. The honor of being a soldier
In the evening of this day, Li Shijie looked at Su Meimei and Zhu Zi who couldn't walk beside him, and after thinking about it, he asked Qian Dai and Mo Mo to stop and find a place to rest overnight. With-Dream- . lā
There are always planes bombing in the sky, and if you want to spend the night comfortably, you have to find a sheltered place with leeward wind, and even be very careful with a fire to cook.
Mo Mo and Qian Dai searched around and found a leeward hill not far from the side of the road, and the group of five planned to spend the night here.
Looking for food at the end of the day, Li Shijie was digging a smokeless stove, Qian Dai was preparing to build two simple shacks with local materials, and Su Meimei and Zhu Zi were responsible for tidying up the ground in the two shacks, and then laying straw mats and quilts to sleep at night.
"What do you want to do?"
"Soldier, soldier, soldier, soldier, spare life......"
Suddenly, just when they were all busy with each other, there was a hurried exclamation for mercy on the road not far away.
Li Shijie, who was busy, bypassed Tugangzi and looked at the sound, and several people saw that at this moment, on the road not far ahead, there was a group of fleeing people, surrounded by a group of soldiers, and those exclamations for mercy were sent by this group of refugees.
These people with guns pointed at refugees are actually soldiers of their own country!
There were more than a dozen of them, all of them in ragged military uniforms at the moment, all of them with gray faces, holding Hanyang-made rifles in their hands, but they aimed their guns at the two dozen or so fleeing refugees in front of them.
It's a group of routs! Li Shijie and Qian Dai both realized it together.
At that moment, one of them, who appeared to be the leader of the military group, shouted to the group of refugees who were surrounded.
"Don't move, raise your hands, be honest with me!" After warning the refugees present, the man's chin raised towards his companions, and the routs present were signaled, and each movement quickly flicked the bolt, and then the scene only heard the click of a bullet loading.
The refugees present were all silent, and hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Don't, don't, military master, military master, if you have something to say, you have something to say!" We are all ordinary people, not bad people, not bad people......"
Seeing that the people present were all frightened, the leading soldier grinned, and his tone was not bad, "Don't be afraid, our brothers don't want to embarrass you today, it's just that we don't have money at the moment, so we want to borrow a few money from you to spend it, and we don't mean anything else." ”
Hearing that the other party was asking for money, the refugees present looked at each other with a bitter and embarrassed expression.
Those of them who are just relying on the bitterness of digging in the soil, where do they have any money in their hands? If they had money, they would have dragged their families and fled because they had no money, and they had to flee in a hurry because they had no money.
Don't talk about money, it's just the rations you carry with you, whether they can make their family suffer until the beginning of spring, that's all unknown!
These 20 or so refugees are a big family, and the two old men are brothers, and they escaped from the county with their children and grandchildren, and they have suffered here.
The old man, looking at this group of soldiers with a bitter face, begged bitterly, "Master Jun, it's not that the old man is reluctant to give up money, but we really don't have any money, you can do it, let us go!" Otherwise, we still have some rations, if the military master doesn't dislike it, we can share half of it?"
Saying that, the old man hurriedly signaled to the old lady beside him, and quickly divided half of the rations, and the old man took a small half pocket of millet, and carefully moved it to the front of the soldier who spoke out for the head, holding the food in both hands and offering it to the man.
The soldier looked at the half-pocket millet offered by the old man in front of him, he immediately smiled bitterly, his face was strangely distorted, and a trace of struggle flashed on his face, and finally he was ruthless, and slapped off the rag pocket in the old man's hand, and the millet immediately scattered it on the ground.
"Alas, alas! It's a waste, it's a waste......" The old man exclaimed in distress, didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly squatted down to pick up millet.
Looking at the old man who was lying on the ground, picking up millet a little distressed, the soldier closed his eyes, and then threatened ruthlessly: "I don't want food, what we want is money, it's money, don't you understand?" Be honest, hurry up and hand over all the money on you!"
What is the use of asking for rations? Can it save lives? If they are more than a dozen big men, if they are just to make ends meet, where will they be reduced to coming out to rob the people?
If you weren't forced to be helpless, would you when they wanted to rob? They gave up the dignity of a soldier, gave up the honor of a hero, and violated their conscience, in order to get life-saving money!
Li Shijie on the side saw this scene, his good heart attack again, hurriedly rushed out a few steps, and hurriedly shouted: "What are you going to do?"
The second master ran out suddenly, Qian Dai didn't have time to stop it, he didn't have time to think about it, he was also busy following, no matter what, he couldn't let the master take risks.
The two groups of people were facing each other on the road, but Li Shijie suddenly appeared, the two groups were stunned at first, and then those who were soldiers were the first to react.
This bitter common people have no money, but this man who suddenly appeared should be rich, right? Look, he's wearing a thick robe and padded jacket!
"Yo, you've got a bumpy road? That's just right, you can't see it, right? Quite a hero, right? It's okay, if you can't see it, then you can take some money and come out to help them, don't worry, our brothers only want money, don't die!"
Li Shijie, who rushed to them, was already broken, and now he was even more angry from the words of this soldier's mouth, and his angry fingers trembled, pointing at them to teach them a lesson.
"You ...... You soldiers, who do not go to the front line to fight the devils, but bully your compatriots in your own country here, are your hearts black? As a soldier, are you worthy of the uniform you are wearing?"
Li Shijie scolded and scolded, and involuntarily remembered what he had seen in Jinling City, the scene like purgatory.
I think of the corpses that are stacked on top of each other, the river that was dyed red, the countless miserable refugees, and the suffering compatriots who have died one after another because of the lack of medical treatment and medicine......
There are too many pictures, tormenting his heart all the time, seeing the soldier in front of him actually doing this, Li Shijie can't bear it anymore, he can't bear it, and he can't sit idly by!
He excitedly scolded: "You don't go to the front line to defend your home and defend the country and fight devils, but you still hold a gun at your compatriots? Where is your conscience? Do you deserve the skin on your body? Is it worthy of the blood in your bones? Yes? Are you worthy of it?"
Xu was hit by Li Shijie, and the dozen or so soldiers who surrounded the refugees involuntarily put down the guns in their hands.
The soldier who was the leader was also scolded by Li Shijie and his eyes were red, and he also became excited.
looked at Li Shijie's eyes, and yelled at him: "Fuck, do you think Lao Tzu wants to be a bandit and want to be infamous?" What do you know as a common man who can only flee? Fart! Keep your eyes open and take a good look at us! Take a good look there!"
