Xia Yuan didn't know how long they were going to stay in the cellar, at least until the Japanese devils left Jinling completely.

As for the current situation in the outside world, he does not know.

Did the group of female students publicize what happened in Jinling City to the outside world, and did the people outside believe what they said?

None of this is known.

The Japanese army slaughtered the city, which was too unbelievable for people outside.

You must know that after the end of the First World War, international law became more and more perfect, and gentlemen were pursued in Europe, strictly observing international law and humanitarianism.

So, in the eyes of Europeans, the massacre would not have happened.

Many foreigners simply do not believe the Chinese media's rumors of the Japanese army's massacre of unarmed civilians in Jinling City.

They may forget that they don't see Africans as human beings at all.

In particular, the United States massacred the Indians.

While massacred unarmed civilians in Jinling City, the Japanese army began to destroy evidence.

Now, Xia Yuan's only hope is to pin on the intervention of external forces and expose what the Japanese army did in Jinling City in advance, but what happened in Jinling City will not be intervened by the outside world, all of this is unknown.

Right now, the most important thing is to wait.

But every time he waited, he was accompanied by the death of a large number of Jinling people, and all of Xia Yuan's methods had been adopted.

This catastrophe is inevitable, and one person's strength is too weak after all.

In the middle of December, the daytime temperature is also below zero, and even when the sun comes out, it is like a huge light bulb hanging in the sky, which only emits light, but does not bring warmth to the earth.

Xia Yuan stood on the second floor and looked into the distance, Japanese trucks were passing through the streets, and there were checkpoints along the way to check passing vehicles.

The church is still intact and is surrounded by ruins.

The Japanese army has penetrated deep into Jinling City, slaughtering, plundering, and setting fires, and a large area of buildings in Jinling City has been shrouded in flames and turned into ruins.

Fortunately, the location of the church is relatively remote, and the surrounding houses have been turned into ruins in the Japanese air raids early, and the Japanese troops in this area rarely come to visit, and only the Japanese soldiers along the way will choose to camp in the church at night.

However, there was nothing in the church, and the location was remote, not suitable for use as a station, so most of them left early the next morning.

The church is indeed a rare safe zone.

At least in Xia Yuan's opinion, if there is no accident, at least he can hide until the end of the Jinling Massacre.

The cellar had enough food for two people, and every time he went out, he brought back a large number of cans and a Japanese army's marching kettle, and the stored water was enough for two people.

The cellar is warm enough, and there are a lot of wooden shelf beds, the previous priest used the cellar as an air raid shelter to build the specifications, Xia Yuan brought back a lot of bedding and military coats, and he didn't feel cold at all.

It can be said that the cellar is safe and warm enough.

Zhou Xiaoli cleaned the cellar, arranged the bedding completely, and sorted and sorted the canned food and water, which was Xia Yuan's solid backing.

There was nothing to do during the day, Xia Yuan stood at the window on the second floor, and after observing, he returned to the cellar.

There are a lot of bullets and grenades, all of which he has obtained from his night operations and night attacks on the Japanese devils in the past few nights, so he does not need to worry about ammunition.

Xia Yuan lay on the bed, had nothing to do, and soon fell asleep.

Zhou Xiaoli sat at the door with a book and read.

The church was empty, impervious to sunlight, and the wind blew in, getting colder and colder.

In the evening, someone approached the church again, with messy footsteps and heavy breathing.

"There are no Japanese devils here, quickly call Koizumi and the others in, and I'll see if there's anything to eat in the kitchen."

"Hey."

Hearing the movement outside, Zhou Xiaoli closed the book, stared wide-eyed, and looked out through the gap in the entrance of the cellar.

I can't see the figure, but I can hear the voice, it's Chinese.

Zhou Xiaoli woke Xia Yuan up, and the two squatted at the entrance.

Xia Yuan used the advantage of listening to the sound and distinguishing the position, listened to the voice transmitted from the outside world, and lowered his voice and said: "There are four people outside, and one of them is breathing a little weakly. ”

Because the church is quiet enough and the kitchen space is relatively closed, his auditory position can be used to the fullest.

"Be careful, put him down." The voice that spoke was probably a middle-aged man in his forties, and he sighed and said, "This injury is too serious, alas." ”

"It's all my fault, if I hadn't insisted on going, Han Yang wouldn't have been injured by the Japanese devils, it's all my fault." A girl said with a sob.

"Xiaojuan, don't blame yourself, it's not your fault for this matter itself, the Japanese are so strict about the search around, many people hiding in the cellar have been found, if we don't go out, sooner or later we will be found by the Japanese, and none of us will be able to escape by then."

Someone comforted her, the voice was far away from the kitchen, probably at the door, and it was estimated that it was staring.

There was also a weak male voice: "Xiaojuan, don't be sad, I can still hold on." ”

"Woohoo." The girl named Xiaojuan sobbed.

Zhou Xiaoli grabbed the corner of Lu Jin's clothes and asked him, "Brother Yuan, what's the situation outside, is anyone injured?" ”

Xia Yuan nodded, pulled out the latch, and said, "It's safe enough in the cellar, bring them in first." ”

"Okay, Brother Yuan, I'll listen to you." Zhou Xiaoli clenched her palm.

The floor at the entrance of the cellar was suddenly lifted, and Han Yang, who was lying on the ground, caught a glimpse, widened his eyes, and let out a voice: "Someone!" ”

The middle-aged man hurriedly protected Xiaojuan and Han Yang behind him, and shouted: "Who! ”

The person who was watching at the door also ran over, holding a kitchen knife in his hand, staring at Xia Yuan who ran out of the cellar.

Seeing that Xia Yuan came out from under the table, their expressions relaxed, Japanese devils would not come out of the ground.

The middle-aged man asked, "Chinese?" ”

Xia Yuan swept over a few people and nodded: "You guys escaped?" ”

The middle-aged man nodded: "Escaped from the pursuit of the Japanese devils, little brother, do you have any medicine here?" ”

"Yes, you can bring him in first." When Xia Yuan attacked the Japanese devil's station at night, he not only seized a large amount of weapons, ammunition and food, but also medicines, tobacco and alcohol.

"Quick, Ali, carry Han Yang in with me."

The middle-aged man was overjoyed and thanked: "Little brother, thank you." ”

"It's safe enough here, the Japanese devils have come several times and haven't found out, you can stay in the cellar, but you can't make a sound." While Xia Yuan told them, his eyes fell on the part of Han Yang's hand.

In the lower abdomen, he can see at a glance that the gunshot wound did not hurt the vital point, and the reason why he was weak was also because of excessive blood loss.

"Be careful, the cellar entrance is narrow."

Zhou Xiaoli helped below.

The people went into the cellar.

The middle-aged man, Xiaojuan, Ali and Han Yang were all a little surprised when they saw the situation in the cellar.

On the edge of the top bunk on a wooden shelf bed, several roast chickens hung on the table, a large number of empty canning boxes were piled on the table, and against the table were seven rifles with bayonets.

On the bed were bloodstained Japanese mattresses and overcoats, hanging from Japanese soldiers' magazines, and grenades.

There are too many things, and it is clear that the people in this cellar are not simple.

"The wound was treated in a rudimentary way."

Xia Yuan closed the entrance of the cellar, plugged in the latch, walked to Han Yang's side, tore Han Yang's clothes, and saw a black cloth soaked in blood: "Such a cloth strip is wrapped around the wound, you are not afraid of wound infection, once the wound is infected, it is useless for anyone to come." ”

The middle-aged man showed embarrassment on his face: "The conditions are limited, and we can't find anything better to bandage him." ”

Xia Yuan didn't speak, staring at the wound, Zhou Xiaoli took out the medicine box, saying that it was the medicine box, that is, the ammunition box for bullets, and it was changed to contain medicine.

"You should be glad that you met us, and if you were someone else, you might not have such a complete range of medicines." Xia Yuan opened the medicine box, took out the same medicine, fed him painkillers first, and then put a somewhat dirty towel into Han Yang's mouth: "Bit, it hurts a little." ”

Xia Yuan did not capture the anesthetics of the Japanese army, and most of the anesthetics were available in the field hospitals in the rear of the Japanese army, and even if they were, they were very scarce.

Does not appear in the ranks of the Japanese combatants.

It's pretty good to have some painkillers and anti-inflammatories, as well as clean bandages.

Han Yang opened his mouth, not disgusted at all, so he bit the towel in his mouth, and Xiaojuan comforted him: "It's okay, just endure it." ”

"The bullet didn't penetrate your body, but it stayed in your body, and to take the bullet out, you try to talk to him as much as possible, distract him, and hold his hand."

There is no anesthetic, so this method can only be used, and the pain medicine treats the symptoms but not the root cause, but if the bullet is not removed and continues to remain in his body, it will eventually lead to the deterioration of the wound, and once the wound deteriorates, the consequences are unimaginable.

Xia Yuan disinfected his hands with alcohol, asked Zhou Xiaoli to light a candle, and put a bayonet on the fire to smoke it.

Tear open the rags of the wound.

The rag has been glued to the wound, tearing the rag, it will drive the wound, the severe pain made Han Yang's eyes widen, his teeth clenched the towel in his mouth hard, and his big hands grabbed the palm of the middle-aged man and Ah Li's palm, because of the force, the knuckles were already blue.

When the rags were torn, blood kept pouring out of the wounds, and the process of removing the bullets was very bloody and accompanied by severe pain.

"Long pain is better than short pain, endure it."

Xia Yuan comforted him and began to move his hands, he used alcohol to clean up the impurities near the wound, and then began to take out the bullet.

His hand reached directly into Han Yang's flesh, making a strange sound, and the others frowned, and couldn't help but gasp.

The blood flowed more and more, but Xia Yuan's hand movements did not stop, and he took out the bullet very quickly, stopped the bleeding, smoked gunpowder, and wound the bandage, and the action was done in one go.

Han Yang was already in a coma due to excessive blood loss at this time, Xia Yuan took the towel handed over by Zhou Xiaoli and wiped the blood on his hands, "Excessive blood loss, let him rest and rest, Xiaoli, take down the roast chicken on it, wait for him to wake up, let him eat it." ”

"Okay."

"Little brother, thank you, what's your name?" The middle-aged man held Xia Yuan's hand and asked him.

"Xia Yuan."

"Thank you, my name is Chen Wenhua, just call me Uncle Chen, I'll take advantage, this is Ali, my workers, this is my daughter, Chen Juan, you saved my daughter's classmate, Han Yang."

Chen Wenhua said to Chen Juan: "Xiaojuan, thank our life-saving benefactor. ”

"Thank you." Chen Juan wiped away her tears and bowed in thanks.

There are Japanese devils outside, and the other party is willing to risk being found and take them to the cellar, which undoubtedly saves their lives.

"It's all Chinese, don't say those things that are outside." Xia Yuan waved his hand and asked curiously, "Why did you come here?" This place has been occupied by Japanese devils for a long time, and I have hardly met other Chinese here. ”

"We used to hide in the cellar, but in the past few days, the Japanese have been like crazy, searching people everywhere, even if the house has become ruins, they will not let go, and many people have dug the cellar have been found by the Japanese."

Chen Wenhua sighed: "My daughter was worried that the cellar where we were hiding would be discovered by the Japanese, so she thought about taking advantage of the darkness at night to move, but she didn't expect that the streets outside were full of Japanese, we were found by the Japanese, and Han Yang was injured by the Japanese with guns, fortunately, we got rid of them." Then run all the way here and see this church. ”

After a pause, he said, "If it weren't for you, I guess we would all be discovered by the Japanese, and there are Japanese people everywhere outside." ”

"You are safe for the time being, Zhou Xiaoli and I have been hiding here for a few days, and this place has been searched many times by Japanese devils, but none of them have been discovered by Japanese devils."

Xia Yuan said to him.

Then introduce Zhou Xiaoli to them: "Zhou Xiaoli, her age should be about the same age as your daughter, and she is also a student, her father was killed by Japanese devils." ”

"After the Japanese entered the city, they killed people everywhere, they were just a bunch of brutes!"

Chen Wenhua said angrily.

"Are you hungry or not, come and get something to eat." Xia Yuan agreed with Chen Wenhua's words, considering that several people had escaped for a day and a night, it was estimated that they hadn't eaten much, so he took out canned food to entertain them.

"Thank you so much." Chen Wenhua said gratefully.

"Let's eat."

Xia Yuan distributed the canned food to a few people: "There are enough beds here, you can choose one, there are some bedding here, I captured it from the Japanese devils, and the blood on it is the blood of the Japanese." ”

"We don't mind." Chen Wenhua said.

"Just don't mind, there's a lot of it." Xia Yuan pointed to the top bunk.

Chen Juan was a little timid, eating canned food, she didn't speak, and when she noticed Zhou Xiaoli looking at herself, she threw a friendly smile.

"You're a soldier?" Eating canned food, Chen Wenhua looked at the guns on the table.

"Hmm." Xia Yuan did not hide it.

"The Japanese are searching for soldiers all over the city, you have to be careful, don't be discovered by the Japanese, once you are discovered by the Japanese, they will not let you go." Chen Wenhua said.

Xia Yuan said with a smile: "It's useless to be a soldier now, the Japanese devils don't even let go of civilians, they have reached the point of madness." ”
