Chapter 31: Stay Alive
Li Youde is in his thirties, and his family has been killed by the Japanese, he is very righteous, and his lifeless energy to kill devils impresses everyone. The most important thing is that his age and experience have shaped Li Youde's tenacious character and cautious and steady style.
Song Feng's age of lying did not hide from Li Youde, people in that year got married and had children very early, Li Youde, who was only in his thirties at the time, once touched Song Feng's head and said: "If my baby is still alive, it should be as old as you." As he spoke, his eyes moistened, and then he quietly wiped away his face.
Perhaps for this reason, Li Youde took good care of Song Feng and gave him a nickname, affectionately calling him 'Little Maniac'.
The Savage Mountain is very large, and the terrain is also very complicated, and the remaining dozens of people ran desperately, running desperately, until the next day, when they couldn't run, and everyone was paralyzed on the ground, Li Youde counted.
Nine people.
A team of more than 30 people fled overnight, and only nine people remained.
At that time, the number of people captured by the savages was not so large, that is, there were still some people who should have fallen behind or fainted halfway.
Song Feng was still young, and seeing that there were only nine of them left in the team of 100 people, he couldn't stand this stimulation at all, and wanted to go back to find someone with red eyes.
Li Youde shouted: "How to find it!" ”
The reckless jungle is too easy to get lost and there are too many dangers. A moment ago, a good person may be bitten by a seemingly inconspicuous spider, or it will not be long before he falls to the ground and dies. The entire team that survived was almost supported by a will.
Many people, once their minds are relaxed, and once they fall, they will never be able to get up again.
Song Feng wiped his tears and said, "How long is it going to be and how long is it going to go back." ”
The only woman in the team seemed to be a little unconscious, her eyes were misty, and she said, "Sleep, I want to sleep." "I haven't slept for a day and a night, and I haven't eaten anything but water and some grass.
Physical ailments, mental exhaustion and sleepiness make everyone feel drowsy.
But this is Savage Mountain, can't sleep.
Li Youde stood up and said, "Cheer up, climb the cross-country mountain in one go, and go out and go to sleep." Eventually, the lesbian didn't hold on and fell to the ground.
She is already remarkable, and she is the only one left in the entire team of more than ten women who has survived to the present.
After falling, Song Feng hurriedly touched the pulse of her neck and said, "Not dead yet, she's still alive!" ”
Fall and don't save.
This is already a rule that everyone knows.
It's not that it's ruthless, it's that it's not capable at all.
But now, with a team of only nine people, the only female comrade who survived tenaciously, should she be left alone?
Song Feng slammed the person downstairs and said, "I'll save her!" ”
Li Youde said: "How can you save it." ”
Song Feng said: "I'll carry her on my back." Immediately after, he tried to carry the person on his back, but his tired body and rotten soles made it impossible for him to do it at all, and after falling several times, Song Feng sobbed, and none of the other people in the team felt good.
Everyone was so dirty that they couldn't see clearly, only a pair of eyes.
Song Feng is over ninety years old, and he has forgotten many things, but he remembers his faces and eyes clearly. Those dirty faces, those black and white eyes, tears and helplessness, have been deeply engraved in my mind for many years.
In the end, the last female comrade was not abandoned, and they made a simple stretcher out of vines and tree trunks, and the remaining eight people took turns carrying it in groups of four. It stands to reason that it is enough for two people to carry a stretcher, but the entire team, except for Song Feng, who is slightly better, the rest of the people have already stepped into the ghost gate with half a foot.
What is it that has sustained the people so far? Maybe everyone's reasons are different.
Li Youde wants to live, kill more Japanese, and avenge his family.
Song Feng just wants to live, this is the basic survival instinct of people.
The big bull in the team wanted to drive the Japanese out of China, so that when the days were calm, they could marry their daughters-in-law and have children with peace of mind.
And what about the unconscious lesbian? What has sustained her to the present? She woke up once, Song Feng asked her, and she said, "I'm a doctor." The servicemen of our country, need doctors, I can't die. "At that time, there was a real shortage of military doctors. Traditional Chinese medicine treats diseases and breaks the roots, but on the battlefield, it is not easy for Chinese medicine to cut off hands and feet at every turn, and these things that require first aid are not easy for Chinese medicine to do. And there are very few people who have studied Western medicine.
Every doctor is a very valuable resource.
There were four people left, and Song Feng remembered their names.
Wu Disease, Guo Xiao, Xiong Sanshi, Wei Defu. Everyone took turns to carry it, and then insisted until the afternoon, everyone was confused, their brains were empty, only instinctive, mechanical movements, and the only feeling was that they were tired and hungry.
It wasn't until the rain poured on his face that he realized it was raining.
Everyone's body is already extremely weak, and if they continue to rain, I'm afraid they will have to finish playing, so they have no choice but to find a place to hide from the rain.
It was a big tree, and there was a big hole under the tree, and the trees here had grown for hundreds or thousands of years, and some of them were scary. This tree is a 'three-child tree', the kind of tree where several trees grow together and are crowded one after another.
This kind of tree is rare in the city, but there are too many in the jungle of Yunnan and Burma.
There were two tree holes in the connection, and there were some insects and ants in them, and everyone cleared out the insects and ants, blocked the vertical hole with the rain cloth in the bag, and hid in it.
The pouring rain and the warm tree holes make people drowsy.
No one supported it, and everyone fell asleep.
When she woke up, the lesbian slept next to Song Feng. Song Feng stared at her, and suddenly felt that she had slept too peacefully, and the muscles on her face were terrifyingly stiff. A bad conjecture came to Song Feng's mind, and he went to touch the lesbian's snort, and sure enough, the person was already dead.
He hurried to check on the others, but Wu Ying and Wei Defu didn't wake up. This is like what we often call sudden death, insisting on not sleeping for two or three days, and once you fall asleep, you can't wake up.
It was just one night's work, and the nine-person squad became six.
Eventually, they placed the three bodies in a hollow in a tree, and if they could, they might dig a pit and bury them, but the six were too tired to have the experience. Compared with those comrades who died on the road and rotted in the mud, maybe having a tree hole to cover themselves is already the best ending.
The remaining six people continued walking.
Walk mechanically, because people don't know what else to do except walk.
In the process, he even encountered a Japanese squad. However, this team is not much better than them, there are only two people.
The same embarrassment, the same wounds, two groups of people encountered head-on, but they didn't start fighting, at this time, they couldn't fight at all, no one had the strength. Both Japanese and Chinese are faintly aware that this jungle is the place where everyone's bones are buried.
The two groups looked at each other, guarded each other, and then separated into the jungle.
All the way north.
However, this team of six people finally failed to climb the Savage Mountain, and in the middle of the process, the surrounding canopy suddenly trembled, and then several black figures of the Savage were revealed. The guns on the six people have long been out of ammunition, and they are basically used as crutches.
At such a time, what else can you do but run for your life?
The speed of the savage was very fast, and several people were quickly caught up, and at this moment, Li Youde said: "I'll cover, you run." Although the exact number of savages is not true to everyone, the shadows of the fluttering trees show that there are many people.
With bare hands, how to cover?
At this time, the man in the team who was the big bull stumbled a few times, bleeding and pus on his rotten legs, trembling, as if he would fall down at any time, and he said, "I will also cover, and the rest will retreat." ”
Guo Xiao was almost crazy, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Cover up a fart, none of us can run, no one can run!" It's rotten, it's all rotten on me! He tore open his clothes, revealing festering abscesses on his body, and maggots could be faintly seen crawling.
"Nope." At this time, Xiong Sanshi opened his mouth with difficulty, picked up the gun used as a crutch in his hand, and panted like a cow: "There is still one person in our team who can run." ”
At that moment, everyone's eyes were on Song Feng.
Because he was born in a family of traditional Chinese medicine and has a good physical foundation, Song Feng is the only one in this team who has not been eroded by miasma.
"No......" Song Feng knew what they meant, couldn't help shaking his head, and hissed: "You want to run together, Sanshi, Da Niu, instructor ......" Before he could say anything, he was abruptly interrupted by Liu Youde: "More than three hundred comrades!" One has to get out alive! Live and see the day little Japan is kicked out! Run! Run! Run! The sound was stronger than the other, and when the words landed, the savages rushed over, several black shadows pounced, and Liu Youde and others also rushed forward with shouts.
Song Feng ran away.
It's not with any righteous and awe-inspiring feelings, he's just an eighteen-year-old young man who just wants to live.
At the moment when the rest of the people rushed towards the savage, Song Feng ran according to the instructions, he heard the shouts and screams of fighting behind him, but he didn't dare to stop, and in the last scene in his memory, he only saw the figures of bloody fighting.
Song Feng was lucky, with a team of 300 people, he finally walked out of the Yunnan-Burma jungle alive, survived the eight-year War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, and survived until Little Japan was driven out of China, and even survived to the present.
His body is dying, although he looks tough, but he dreams more and more of his comrades who died in the jungle of Yunnan and Burma, and many faces that have been forgotten in memory are alive again after more than seventy years.
Song Feng felt the call of death, and he felt that he was about to die. But there was one thing he couldn't put down, those comrades-in-arms whose corpses were rotting in the Yunnan-Burma jungle, those bodies that fell on the road, and the more than 40,000 ghosts still stayed in that forest.
…………
When I heard this, I already felt that my eyes were a little hot, and asked, "Then, Mr. Song, do you want us to ......?"
The man surnamed Fang: "Many corpses can't be recovered." Mr. Song only hoped to find the three corpses in the tree hole and bring them back, and asked that if he saw the rest of the corpses of the expeditionary force along the way, he needed to bring them back with them. ”
