Chapter 012 The Tomb of Thirty-One Heroes
Dusk gradually appeared, and the rain actually stopped.
As the two of them walked through the woods, the originally silent Lushan Ridge gradually began to sound like frogs croaking, and several unknown birds flew up in the trees.
Accompanied by the croaking of frogs and the croaking of birds, the clouds cleared and the sky cleared. The sunshine from the Western Mountains lazily penetrated through the leaves and fell on them, leaving long shadows in front of them.
Chen Lisong and Lin Sancai walked on their own shadows towards the small gorge in the north. In the setting sun, they saw heroes one after another in the jungle and beside the rocks, some leaning against the trees.
, some were lying on their backs on the ground looking at the sky, some were leaning in the grass, some were sitting upright... Chen Lisong saw Mayor Wang!
The bodies of these heroes are projected on the ground under the setting sun, leaving long shadows!
Chen Lisong and Lin Sancai held back their tears and counted from west to east for a full two-quarters of an hour before checking the heroes one by one and arranging them in the woods.
Chen Lisong said to Lin Sancai: "Thirty-one! They are all gone. All the guns and bullets they brought have been picked up."
Lin Sancai's eyes turned red: "It would be great if I happened to run into them. At least I could let them know that there are hundreds of Japs. Mayor Wang and the others are only thirty-one, how can they resist them!?"
"In addition to Mayor Wang, there are a few people I know. This is Chen Kaiming from our Chenzhuang, this is Huang Jinwang from Huangzhuang, and... some people are from Fengshan. I met them when I went hunting in Fengshan!
Didn’t Huang Daming say they are bandits?”
Chen Lisong thought to himself that when Mayor Wang showed up at Zheng Yijing's house, he didn't care whether there were people from Fengshan among the people led by Mayor Wang. Fengshan was said to be a base area, and he didn't understand many things. He always felt that this
Don't let the relationship get out of hand: "This matter is related to the reputation of Mayor Wang who serves the country and the people. Should we inform the people in the town to deal with the aftermath?"
Lin Sancai said: "Let them bury them in peace first! When we call the people here, they will be eaten by wild beasts." He suddenly became very excited and said: "Don't go, Mayor Wang is dead, I
I’m a murderer, and you don’t want them to capture me, right? I have to send these heroes away, so come with me!”
Chen Lisong was also infected by Lin Sancai and said: "We have to borrow a hoe, and by the way, we can call a few strong brothers from nearby villages to help. They don't know Mayor Wang and will not tarnish the reputation of a hero."
"Well, these heroes all sacrificed their lives for the country, and the villagers should come to help! But it's okay,"
Lushan does not belong to Daofeng Town, but to Songlin Township on the edge of Daofeng Town.
With extremely sad hearts, they ran down the mountain to find someone and borrow a hoe.
Lushan Village.
We were almost walking from the beginning of the village to the end of the village, but we didn't meet a single person in the whole village! It seemed that we couldn't call the able brothers to help.
Chen Lisong said: "Maybe they all ran away after hearing the gunfire."
Lin Sancai didn't say anything, and knocked hard on the door of a farmhouse, but no one responded. He couldn't wait any longer, so he kicked open the door of a farmhouse.
"Let's go in and look for it."
They found two hoes and two loads of dustpans in the yard. Chen Lisong picked up the dustpans with the pole he carried, and he and Lin Sancai each took a hoe and returned to Lushan Ridge.
A large pit was dug at the top of Lushan Mountain, and the two of them carried Mayor Wang and others in one by one, and then buried it.
After the burial was completed, they built a heroes' grave big enough for these heroes to rest underneath.
The moonlight was like water, using the shadows of the trees as quilts to cover the thirty-one heroes.
They noticed that since they found the bodies of these thirty-one heroes, in both Tiancheng and Daofeng Town, except for a few occasional gunshots, there were no intensive gunshots.
Lin Sancai cursed: "Grandma, Tiancheng must have fallen! I can't go back to Tiancheng either."
"What are your plans?" Chen Lisong knew that since Mayor Wang had already sacrificed his life for the country, it would be impossible for Lin Sancai to be pardoned for killing Zhao Dacai.
Lin Sancai said: "I'll go to Fengshan. You said that the people in Fengshan also followed Mayor Wang to fight the Japanese, which means they are not bandits, and Huang Daming and the people in the town don't dare to mess with them. You can follow me up the mountain."
"
"I'm not afraid. Mayor Wang can kill the enemy with the people on Fengshan Mountain, so I can rest assured that you can go to Fengshan Mountain. You also know that I just got married, I have two elders at home, and..."
"I understand! It's late, I'll just sleep here, and I'll go up to Fengshan Mountain when I get up tomorrow morning. Come back and stay with Jinzhu."
"Don't sleep here. It's late at night, and I feel starved. We had a drink in the town at noon, and we haven't had anything to eat until now. Let me follow you back to Chenzhuang quietly, and I'll ask Jinzhu to give it to us.
Make two dishes, eat well and get some sleep. Tomorrow morning it will be closer to Fengshan from Chenzhuang than from here."
"Okay! Let's go!" Lin Sancai was not polite and left immediately.
The two of them hurried on at night, passing through the woods and wading through mountain streams, and soon arrived at the entrance of Chenzhuang Village.
Thinking of his newly married wife Lin Jinzhu, who was waiting for his return at home, Chen Lisong immediately changed from the sadness and anger just now to a gentle look on his face.
Under the moon, Chen Lisong and Lin Sancai entered the village and not long after walking, they saw their home.
When he was approaching the door of his house, Chen Lisong stopped and signaled Lin Sancai to stop too.
"Be careful!" Chen Lisong pointed to his house and reminded Lin Sancai to keep quiet.
Lin Sancai looked towards the door of Chen Lisong's house. The clean floor had no holes or depressions. What was Chen Lisong afraid of?
Chen Lisong whispered in Lin Sancai's ear: "Get out of here quickly, or run to Fengshan now, quickly."
When Lin Sancai took another serious look at the ground, he realized that as a hunter, Chen Lisong was more sensitive to changes in the surrounding environment than ordinary people.
On the ground on both sides of Chen Lisong's house are several human heads projected on the ground.
Those heads can move and whisper to each other.
"What will you do if I leave?" Lin Sancai was also worried about Chen Lisong's safety.
"Get out of here quickly. Leave first and don't ask too many questions." Chen Lisong reminded Lin Sancai again.
"Well, remember to tell me if you have any trouble, I must be on Fengshan Mountain." After saying that, Lin Sancai dodged, passed through several buildings and disappeared into the moonlight.
After watching Lin Sancai leave, Chen Lisong was thinking about how he could get into his house under the eyes of these people, because in this house, there was a wife Lin Jinzhu who was as gentle as the moon. He had experienced what many people had experienced in their lifetimes today.
Something impossible to experience.
"Chen Lisong is back!"
