Section XVII

The village seemed very quiet, the lively scene of the past was long gone, and the news of the impending arrival of the devil had already spread like a plague, making the listeners change color and the listeners were shocked. After listening to the murderous and bloody methods of the devils, the villagers finally overcame the fear of leaving their homeland and went all the way north, compared to their lives, displacement and starvation seem to be relatively better, after all, there is only one human life, and when there is still a glimmer of hope, who is willing to stay here and wait for death!

Now, a village that was originally vibrant, but in an instant, it has become deserted, as if it has suddenly lost its vitality, bringing people a deep sense of depression.

The icy north wind continued to blow, making the trees that had already lost their leaves make an unbearable sound in the cold wind, and occasionally there was a crisp sound of "crackling", which was the sound of the branches that had long been dry and could not bear the wind, full of unwillingness and helplessness. This situation also makes the seven or eight national soldiers walking in the village look extremely thin.

Cloth shoes and military boots made a slight rustling sound on the fallen leaves, but other than that, they did not make any sound, and seven or eight people, led by the stones, went from house to house to inspect the houses with closed doors, as if they were looking for something, not fast, and seemed quite cautious.

As Li Wenguang walked, he felt a tingling and pain on the back of his hand holding the gun, and he didn't have to look down to know what was going on, the damn chilblains began to torture his nerves again under the cold wind. This made Li Wenguang sigh helplessly, but he didn't dare to reach out to scratch at will, he had already suffered a loss, at first he didn't pay much attention to the situation, he reached out to scratch once, but the itch was not itchy, but then the piercing pain made him tortured, and he still has palpitations when he thinks about it, this kind of situation that can only be endured makes him quite uncomfortable, and unconsciously retracts his hand back, wanting to reduce a little pain by rubbing against the cuffs.

Shi Yuguang, who was observing the situation on the side, saw Li Wenguang's strange movements, and the continuous swing of the rifle in the other party's hand attracted his attention, although the swing was not large, but this strange situation was not common for them veterans, which made Shi Wei frowned slightly, and involuntarily looked at Li Wenguang's hand along the body of the gun.

The team stopped without warning, everyone in the four classes on the side was a little puzzled, but no one spoke, and the good sense of discipline and the calm atmosphere in the surroundings made them restrain the idea of opening their mouths.

Li Wenguang was embarrassed and wanted to grin, but the itching on his hands was very uncomfortable, which made the expression on his face involuntarily become a little hideous, and he hurriedly explained softly: "Company commander, no...... It's okay, it's just a little itchy! ”

Shi really didn't pay much attention to other people's hands, but now when he looked at it, his expression became solemn, and he saw that on the back of Li Wenguang's originally dark and rough hand, there were red and swollen blisters and lumps bulging at the moment, and there seemed to be some pus oozing out vaguely.

Shi sighed lightly, stared at Li Wenguang's face with a slight reproach, frowned and said, "It's all swollen like this, why don't you look for a military doctor!" ”

Li Wenguang embarrassedly shrank his hand back, letting the sleeves cover the back of his hand, as if this would make him feel a little more relaxed, and then said: "Company commander, it's just a few chilblains, and it's not a big deal, compared to those brothers who have broken arms and legs, what am I worth!" ”

Hearing this, Shi Shi's expression froze, as if he thought of the situation of many wounded and lack of medical treatment, which made the reproach that swelled up in his heart turn into a trace of emotion, and then the muscles on his face trembled involuntarily, and his eyes involuntarily looked at the hands of everyone, and asked: "What kind of brothers do you have such frostbite?" ”

Li Wenguang nodded helplessly, and said an astonishing answer, "Basically, this thing grows." ”

The stone was startled and said incredulously: "Why hasn't anyone mentioned it to me?" ”

Li Wenguang said helplessly: "It's useless to say it, even if this thing is a military doctor, there is no way, I can only wait until the winter is over, and it will be fine!" Saying that, Li Wenguang looked up at the sky, and the gusts of cold wind made him shrink involuntarily, as if only in this way could he feel warm, and continued: "Speaking of which, it is also the ghost weather in the south, which is not only cold but also humid and heavy, which is really unbearable." ”

It was the first time Shi had heard of chilblains today, which was the sequelae of losing his memory, he didn't know anything about this kind of thing, and now when he heard Li Wenguang say this, he could only shake his head helplessly, and asked in disbelief: "Is there really no way to cure it?" ”

"Unless you go to a warm place to stay, but that's not possible!" Li Wenguang looked down at his hands and said.

Shi closed his mouth and stopped making a sound, if what Li Wenguang said was right, it would really be an impossible thing, at this time, let alone going to a distant place, without getting an order, they didn't dare to leave this area of Fangshan at all, otherwise they would escape from the battle and be shot!

At this moment, there was a faint coughing sound in the distance, and it seemed that someone was still talking. This discovery surprised everyone, I don't know if there are still people in the village who have not evacuated, or if the devil has arrived!

There is no need for the stone to make any movements, the four classes of people around them are flexibly dispersed, originally in the process of marching, they are quite experienced in opening the formation to guard everywhere, and now they are scattered, as much as possible to expand the team's warning range, as a buffer.

Carefully touched the house in front of him in the direction of the sound, a rather dilapidated house appeared in front of the stone, what surprised and delighted him was that the door of the room was half-hidden at the moment, and he could vaguely hear the sound of talking from inside, it seemed that the previous sound was not the devil who touched it, which made him feel a little more at ease, although he knew that sooner or later he would have a bloody battle with the devil, but if he could fight later, it was still what they secretly looked forward to in their hearts.

However, the headache is also here, at this critical time when the devil may touch at any time, there are still people in the village, this is really not a good thing, these people are too unworthy of their lives, a group of unarmed people have no hope of surviving when they encounter the devil, do you expect the devil to show mercy? Suddenly changed sex? Thinking of this, Shi Shi was also very dissatisfied, waved his hand at Li Wenguang and the others on the side, and touched the room under the cover of everyone.

The voice in the room became clearer and clearer, and a low and eager voice could be faintly heard: "Aunt Zhou, how long will it be, it's too late if you don't leave." ”

As soon as these words fell, I heard a dry voice reply: "It's useless to urge me to do this, if it's fast, it may take an hour, if it's slow, maybe it will take two or three days!" ”

The stone, who was listening to the movement inside through the room, heard these conversations clearly, and suddenly his face changed greatly and shouted: "What two or three days, the devil is coming, and he will withdraw now!" ”

His appearance was too sudden and shocking, and the people in the room suddenly exclaimed in the face of such a situation, and at the same time, the rough voice that had spoken before also came with an exclamation: "Who? Who? ”

Stone unceremoniously pushed open the door and entered the house, the authentic southern accent inside made him unguarded for anything, and then he saw the situation in the house clearly, this is a two-entry room, the inside is not big, but it is quite neatly cleaned, in this case, it can still maintain a clean and tidy situation, showing the diligence and carefulness of the owner of the house, and at this moment, outside the curtain of the inner room to cut off the line of sight, I saw a sturdy man about 30 years old wearing an old cotton jacket and an old woman with white hair looking at him with a frightened look.

Stone was dressed in a military uniform, with the rank of captain very inappropriate for his age hanging from his collar, and a shabby steel helmet buckled on his head, making him look dusty. However, the officer is the officer, especially the weapon in his hand and the bayonet on his waist caused great horror to the people in the room, and after the previous shout, the middle-aged man immediately said a little uncomfortably: "Long...... Sir, what's the matter? ”

His face sank, and Shi frowned and said coldly, "Something?" Of course there is! Don't you know that the devil is coming? The order to evacuate has been given a long time ago, why haven't you left yet? Do you want to stay here and die, or do you want to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country? ”

With a stilted face, a pair of eyes that were slightly larger than ordinary people were full of light, and a cold tone said the words collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and the strong man in the frightened room suddenly broke out in a cold sweat during this cold winter, and waved his hand impatiently to explain: "Sir, no, no, I have an urgent matter at home, and I can't leave if I want to!" ”

The old woman on the side didn't seem to come back to her senses until this moment, and she also said in a dry voice: "Sir, the Ah Niu family is about to give birth, you can't move casually at this time!" ”

As if to reflect the words of this white-haired old woman, a cry of pain suddenly came from inside at this time, the voice was sharp, and the breath was rapid and scattered, as if she was suffering great pain.

This made the stone's face cloudy for a while, as if he was quickly considering the situation in front of him, while the white-haired old woman and the middle-aged strong man on the side were all colored, and they couldn't care about the stone, and rushed towards the inside almost at the same time.

[I'm sad, I've had a cold for the past two days, it's really painful!!] 】
