Chapter 12: Final Strike Twelve
Since Qin Tai couldn't speak Hokkien too fluently, and because Qin Tai was not very familiar with everyone, several villagers who had fought with Qin Tai took Qin Tai's family to recognize the villagers one by one. These people have stayed with Qin Tai before, and they can speak some official dialect more or less, and it is relatively convenient to translate for Qin Tai. They took Qin Tai to know everyone one by one along the street, and if there were old people in the family or those who had fought with Qin Tai, they would especially point it out and let Qin Tai know.
Qin Tai really saw an old acquaintance at a street corner, an old acquaintance who Qin Tai couldn't even get out of. The roots of the tree, a name, sound like a proper villager. Because four of the seven members of his family died at the hands of the Japanese invaders, he still took up arms and joined the militia organized by Qin Tai. At that time, the tree roots were not the most active one, but they were also the one that impressed Qin Tai the most. Shugen is a proper villager, because the conditions of the family are average, so he is almost thirty years old and still has not started a family. Not only did he kill his relatives, but he also harmed his fiancée, so he and the Japanese had a bitter hatred. This fiancée is a hard-working person, her first husband died just after they got married, and her in-laws said that she was a mourning star and kicked her out of the house. She had to live a hard life alone, and met a man who was better to her, thinking that she could live the life of a normal woman, but she didn't expect that the other party was not only a bad person, but also cheated money and sex on her. After the bad guys abducted her here, they took the money from selling her and left, never to be seen again. Fortunately, the man who bought her was a little older, but he was not bad to her, and just when she made up her mind to live with this man for the rest of her life, the Japanese invaders came over. The husband was killed by the Japanese in order to protect his wife, and the woman lost her man again. A middle-aged woman saw that she had a difficult life, so she introduced the roots, and the roots did not dislike the woman and decided to take care of the woman for the rest of her life. Just as they decided to find a place to start their lives again, and just as the roots were decorating their new home, the pirates attacked the village again. The roots of the tree crawled out of the pile of dead people, and found the bodies of their relatives, as well as their fiancée, who was brutally murdered by the Japanese after being humiliated by the Japanese invaders. The roots of the tree finally broke out, and he wanted to avenge the villagers, his family, his loved ones, and his fiancée. However, Shugen alone could not deal with the Japanese invaders, and it was impossible to kill a few Japanese robbers, so the tree roots decided to join the militia group.
In the militia group, it is important to cooperate with each other in pairs, and it is impossible for Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao to be together all day. Because at that time, Zhan Xiaoxiao not only served as a martial arts instructor of the militia group, but also was responsible for liaison with Qi Jiajun. Therefore, Qin Tai and the tree roots are separated, the tree roots are relatively strong and honest, and they can cooperate with Qin Tai very well. The tree root didn't know who Qin Tai was, but everyone reminded the tree root to take care of Qin Tai. The roots of the tree take care of Qin Tai as his own brother, and the roots of the tree do all the physical work, and try to protect Qin Tai when he is against the enemy.
Qin Tai didn't talk much in his memory, but he did what he said, and Shugen was a real person. The roots of the tree did not eat immediately when they ate, and everyone did not have enough to eat at that time due to the difficult conditions. Two meals a day, dry at noon, thin at night, dry at noon, one person mixed with half of the wild vegetables, plus a small piece of pickles, only one person and one bowl of porridge can be used as a mirror to look at people. At this age, Shugen's physique couldn't eat enough at all, but he still managed to make Qin Tai eat enough before he ate himself. Because Qin Tai had to read documents at night, he could get a vegetable dumpling for supper at night. Every time Qin Tai divides the vegetable dumplings into two portions and gives half to the roots, the roots will take a bite in front of Qin Tai to represent themselves to eat. In fact, the roots of the tree were secretly hidden every time, and when Qin Tai needed food or Qin Tai needed to fight, they were taken out so that Qin Tai could be full. The tree root is not only a good helper for Qin Tai, but also a good big brother and good comrade-in-arms.
The clearest thing in Qin Tai's memory is that the roots of the tree hugged Qin Tai and killed the layers of the Japanese invaders. At that time, Qin Tai and some of the people of the militia group encountered the Japanese Kou, which was a sudden encounter, and no one on either side expected this. Qin Tai led a group of militia groups to transport supplies for the Qi army, and happened to encounter a group of Japanese robbers who had ransacked the village and scattered the large army. When everyone met, a fierce battle broke out immediately, because both sides were red-eyed. When the militia saw the property in their hands, they knew what they had done, and they went crazy when they thought of the people who had been killed by the Japanese people. The would-be robbers, who had not yet woken up from the blood, saw that the militia would certainly not let it go. Although the number of both sides is not large, the fierce battle is no less bloody than any major battle.
Because the people on Qin Tai's side were not fully prepared, because the people of the militia forgot to cooperate with each other, because the weapons of the people of the militia were not as good as the Japanese invaders, and because the people of the militia were more experienced in killing people than the people of the militia group, the blood of the people of the militia group was obviously inferior to the momentum of the Japanese invaders. On the battlefield, the momentum and combat effectiveness determine the outcome of the victory, and the combat effectiveness of the militia is not as good as that of the Japanese bandits, and the momentum is suppressed by the Japanese bandits, and a one-sided situation begins. Some sober militia groups knew that they were going to lose this time, so they wanted to preserve their strength, especially to protect Qin Tai and the others from leaving. The leader of the civil team ordered the roots of the tree to protect Qin Tai and kill him, protect Qin Tai to go to the barracks as soon as possible, and transfer the army to rescue him. The roots of the tree pulled Qin Tai to break through in the opposite direction, because Qin Tai was a literati, not only could not help everyone, but would affect everyone. Fortunately, Qin Tai did not wear an official uniform at this time, except for a very few people who knew Qin Tai's identity, everyone did not know the importance of Qin Tai. Neither the Wokou nor the ordinary members of the militia paid special attention to Qin Tai, who was regarded by everyone as villagers who were afraid of death. The Japanese didn't want to let go of Qin Tai and the tree roots, but they didn't expect the tree roots to be so powerful, and the three Japanese who came to intercept Qin Tai and the tree roots were immediately pushed away by the tree roots. When the root of the tree was about to push away the second wolf, an accident happened, and the Japanese who was pushed away by the root of the tree got angry and picked up a knife and slashed at the root. In order to push away the roots of the tree, Qin Tai's left hand was slashed by the Japanese Kou. Qin Tai didn't know if he was fainting or too tired, and he fell down after being slashed by the Japanese invaders. The roots of the tree carried Qin Tai out of the encirclement, and when he came to the barracks, he learned that Qin Tai was not only an official, but also the biggest magistrate here. After Qin Tai recovered from his injury, the roots of the tree were gone, but the roots did not die but went to other posts. Since then, Qin Tai has no whereabouts of the roots, Qin Tai thought that the roots were dead, but he didn't expect to see the roots here.
Qin Tai excitedly kept the roots, but at this time, the roots were no longer conscious. When the villagers saw that Qin Tai knew the tree roots, they told Qin Tai about the tree roots over the years. Shugen was elected as the leader of the civil team because of his courage to kill the enemy in a battle with the Japanese invaders, and became one of the most famous civilian team leaders who cooperated with the Qi family army to fight the Japanese invaders. Soon after, however, the roots of the tree were captured by the Japanese in a battle. In order to deter the Qi family army and the militia group, the Japanese brutally cut off the feet of the tree roots and others, and tortured the flesh of the tree roots and others. A kind cook couldn't stand it and threw the roots of the tree into the sea as corpses. The roots of the tree drifted in the sea for three days and three nights, and finally they were rescued by a fisherman. Not only did the root of the tree become a cripple, but he also lost his ability to be a man, which was all the damage left to him by the Wako. Shugen didn't have the courage to go back and fight with everyone, so he had to change his name and rejoin the militia, and no one knew that Shugen was the famous heroic captain of the militia at that time.
The more and less they killed, the logistics staff like Shugen was gradually disbanded, and Shugen left the militia with the two orphans he had adopted. Tree Root wanders to the village with the child and finds a former comrade-in-arms. The comrades-in-arms recognized the roots of the tree and made sure to let the roots stay, and since then the roots have lived in this village. The roots of the tree have helped and rescued many villagers, so the villagers do not dislike the disability of the roots, and the roots live here quite peacefully. The daughter adopted by Shugen five years ago grew up, and Shugen married the child to her in-law's family as if she were her own daughter. The next year, he found a virtuous daughter-in-law for another child. Just as the roots of the tree were living a good life, a cold wind triggered the old wounds of the roots. The root of the tree thought it was just a wind chill, but he didn't expect the wind chill to cause old injuries on the root's body. The pain of the battle, the aftermath of the torture of the Japanese and the internal injuries that were not treated in time caused the roots of the tree to be paralyzed and gradually lose consciousness. Now the roots of the tree are not only unable to move, but they are beginning to dense into a coma, like a living dead. If it weren't for the daughter-in-law's virtuous and caring for the old man like his own father, the roots of the tree would have died a long time ago.
