Under the old locust tree, the mountain protection team members from other villages came one after another, and the head of the Li regiment also came, under the leadership of the head of the group, a group of people scavenged the objects on the bodies of several little Japanese children, guns, ammunition, sabers, water bottles, what to take, and even touched out the cigarette rolls on the bodies of a few little devils and smoked them separately, and my grandfather got one without smoking, and there was blood on it. If it weren't for the fact that those yellow-skinned military uniforms were full of blood holes, it is estimated that even the clothes would have to be taken off and taken away from them.

In the end, the head of the regiment Li instructed that from now on each village will arrange sentry patrols, and then inform the mountain guards of several other nearby villages, and the little Japanese died six at once, and they will definitely not give up.

As for the corpses of these Japanese soldiers at the moment, some people suggested that since it was the old locust tree that appeared to save Brother Liu and his family, it is better to bury these little Japanese children under the old locust tree, which is a good fertilizer for growing saplings.

When everyone heard this, although this idea was a bit lacking in morality, it was not bad, and a group of people worked together to bury the corpses of several Japanese soldiers under the old locust tree, which was estimated to be enough for the old locust tree to digest for several months.

In the end, a group of people took the objects they had touched from the Japanese soldiers and happily returned to the village, and my grandmother also helped my grandfather and returned home with palpitations.

After this incident, for half a month, the Japanese in the south did not move at all, as if they had not lost soldiers at all, but my grandmother had a little trouble here, maybe she was frightened, these days, every night nightmares, in the dream always for those Japanese soldiers to chase, every time from the dream shouting to wake up, stirring the whole family all night and all night restless.

Later, my grandfather tried a few methods for her to treat convulsions, but none of them worked, and I went to the doctor to see, and the doctor said that it was a heart disease, and external forces could not cure it, so she could only rely on herself.

My grandfather had no choice, so I asked my grandfather to go to the Nishimura Xiaochang and his wife, and pierced a few Japanese soldiers, with big leather boots, fart hats, and spears on their backs, like real people. Before going to bed that night, a few Japanese soldiers and paper figures were put in the yard, and my grandfather stuffed my grandmother's short sword with his own hair-blowing blade, and asked my grandmother to take the short sword to cut off the heads of the Japanese soldiers.

My grandmother was scared at first, but then my grandfather scolded her a few words, and my grandmother felt aggrieved, screamed, picked up the short sword, clicked a few times, and cut off the heads of several paper people.

From that night on, my grandmother no longer had nightmares chasing little Japan.

A few days later, in the evening of that day, my grandfather took my grandmother, my grandmother, my grandfather, and a family of four to the old locust tree, put incense burners and candles, and the whole family kowtowed to the old locust tree. Actually, I should have come a long time ago, but because my grandmother had nightmares at night a few days ago, the whole family was disturbed, and it has been delayed until now.

At this time, nearly a month had passed, and in early autumn, the corn in the field was almost ripe.

The family respectfully incense and kowtow to the old locust tree.

Before leaving, my grandmother looked up coldly and glanced at the largest branch on the tree, which was the big branch that the middle-aged man in the green robe had sat on after my grandmother opened the magic eye.

At this moment, surprised, as if a new world had been discovered, my grandmother shouted for the whole family to look up at the trees.

My grandfather and the three of them looked up at the tree at the same time, in just one month, under the largest branch of the old locust tree, there was actually a branch with the thickness of an arm, which must not have been there before, three feet long, and it was not like other branches that grew horizontally or upward, the branch head was facing down, the treetop pointed to the ground, and it grew downward, which seemed out of place compared with other branches in the canopy, and it was abrupt and weird.

This is not what surprised my grandmother the most, the most surprising thing for them was that on the branch, there were actually six palm-sized leaves, which looked like the leaves of a plane tree. As we all know, the largest leaves of the locust tree will not exceed the size of the egg profile, and these leaves are already out of number.

My grandmother asked my grandmother what was going on, and my grandfather seemed to understand, but he didn't say anything, and asked my grandmother to pack up her things and go home.

The family of four received the incense burner and candles, bowed to the old locust tree, and returned the same way.

When I got home, my grandmother pestered my grandfather and asked again, and my grandfather thought about it and explained to her that the six big leaves might be the ghosts of the six Japanese soldiers, and this old locust tree may be the immortal family in this area, punishing the evil and rewarding the good, which means that it is similar to the netherworld opened by the red fox in the past.

When the leaves of the old locust tree sprout in the spring, they absorb the evil spirits of the surrounding area. After the ghosts are collected on the leaves, they are punished day after day by wind, sun, rain and frost, and when the leaves fall in the autumn, the ghosts' sins are enough, and the old locust tree will let them go away with the fallen leaves.

This sounds quite mysterious, but the locust tree collects the yin soul, and it is true, and the word "locust" of the locust tree comes from this way. In the summer, the ground in the shade of the locust tree often appears in a dark color, which is completely different from the ground under the shade of other trees, and it is said that it is the tears of remorse shed by the ghost of sin.

After listening to my grandfather, my grandmother seemed to understand something at this time, after opening the eyes that day, I saw that the locust tree was full of small heads, and now I think about it, it coincides with my grandfather's statement.

However, those six big leaves, as my grandfather said, did not fall after the arrival of autumn, even the winter was verdant and verdant, until a year later in the autumn, that is, in the autumn of 1945, the Japanese devils surrendered unconditionally, and those leaves withered and fell to the ground......

Half a month later, the autumn harvest came.

At this time, the Japanese launched an autumn sweep throughout Henan, mainly to grab grain, especially autumn rice, that is, rice, but we do not produce rice here, only sorghum and corn.

As soon as the corn and sorghum were harvested in our village, news came from the south that the Japanese had come over in a big car and were grabbing wherever they went.

At this time, the Japanese army, in the Burma battlefield and the Pacific theater, suffered setbacks one after another, basically lost its elite, and the Japanese army that remained in China to fight was already at the end of its strength, and after a battle, there had been a phenomenon of soldiers surrendering or missing, and missing was to flee from the battle, which had never been seen in the Japanese army before. At the same time, there was a serious economic crisis in Japan, many Japanese people were displaced and starved to death on the streets, and anti-war sentiment was rising throughout the country. This also caused the high-level officials of the Japanese main war faction to become more and more frenzied and vicious, and directed several crazy sweeps.

Straight to the point. The common people in this part of our village, as soon as they heard that the Japanese were coming in a big car, hurriedly packed up their belongings, took away what they could take away, and buried them in an inconspicuous place.

My grandfather's family has a lot of food, and I tossed it with Wang Caoyu's family for two days, and then I hid all the grain, at this time, the members of the mountain protection group came to the house to urge, saying that the Japanese car is less than 20 miles away from us, so it can be said that it will be there in a blink of an eye.

When my grandfather's family and Wang Caoyu's family heard this, everyone carried a big burden as if they were fleeing from the famine, mixed in with the last group of people who entered the mountain, and ran towards the mountain with their lives.

At this time, there are not many people who have entered the mountain, most of the villagers have already entered the mountain, my grandfather is the last group, old and young plus more than a dozen members of the mountain protection group, there are only fifty or sixty people.

As soon as everyone left the village, before they could run a few steps into the north side of the mountain, there was the sound of an iron donkey in the south of the village, that is, a three-wheeled motorcycle, and a member of the mountain protection regiment climbed to a big tree on the side of the road to see that five or six iron donkeys, nearly 20 Japanese soldiers, came down from the iron donkey and entered the village with a gun.

The captain of this group hurriedly greeted everyone and hurriedly ran into the mountain, where the Japanese had already entered the village. When the villagers heard this, they immediately ran into the mountains like frightened sheep, and there were children crying on the road, blocking the children's mouths, and crying with faces, and if they cried again, they would die.

Our village was actually some distance from the foot of the mountain, and when they had just run into the mountain, they looked back condescendingly and saw that the Japanese soldiers had already left the village, and perhaps they had found something, and they chased after them at a trot.

A group of people can be frightened, don't look at the less than twenty little Japanese, that is all loaded with guns, just with those big blades and birds in the hands of the members of the mountain protection team, there is no way to fight with others, if you don't fight, and then run, this large group of old and young will not be able to run fast at all, sooner or later you have to catch up with little Japan, once you catch up, the consequences will be unimaginable.

At this critical juncture, a gunshot suddenly rang out in the east of the village, and it was the Japanese 38 Dagai, and those Japanese soldiers heard the gunshots and immediately turned around and ran towards the east of the village.

A group of people stood on the hill and looked down condescendingly to see clearly, and saw a thin figure running out of the east of the village, and while continuing to run eastward, they fired their guns at the Japanese soldiers, and those Japanese soldiers, some of them chased after them with their guns, and some of them went to ride their iron donkeys, and chased after the man with a fierce look. With that man's two legs, he can't outrun the Japanese iron donkey at all, and sooner or later these little Japanese will catch up.

At this time, someone in the mountain protection regiment said that the person was very similar to Chen Hui, Chen Hui was also in their team at the time, and then looked for it in the crowd, Chen Hui was really gone, and because Chen Hui cut the neck of the Japanese officer last time, Commander Li saw that he was bold, and specially rewarded him with a Japanese soldier's 38 big cover, which made a group of people envious at that time.

At this time, it had been concluded that it was Chen Hui who led away the Japanese soldiers, and the members of the mountain protection team discussed, since the little Japanese led Chen Hui away, without further ado, let's hurry into the mountain. At that time, some people also suggested to save Chen Hui, but this suggestion was quickly rejected. Why, one, the guy in his hand is not as good as others, and second, a fool can see that Chen Hui deliberately lured these Japanese away, it can be said that he has given up his life, at this time, if he rushes to chase those little Japanese, then Chen Hui will not die in vain.

Between emotion and reason, at this time, you can only choose reason, and losing Chen Hui can save the lives of dozens of people.

The gunshots are still ringing in the distance, and you can imagine the hideousness of the Japanese iron donkey and Chen Hui's lonely escape. Everyone was in a heavy mood, especially the people in the West Village, who seemed to have regretted their indifference and contempt for Chen Hui, and turned back as they walked, and a group of people gradually disappeared into the mountains......
