Chai Youde looked at the kind-hearted young soldier in front of him and felt his concern and kindness. Somehow, he was convinced that he had just said that he had killed all the little Japs, and he felt completely relaxed.
Zhou Wen looked at the bruises on the faces of the two people and the traces of mud on their bodies. He could tell at a glance that they were signs of being beaten, which showed that they had been abused by the little devils.
"Old man, you have suffered."
Zhou Wen's gentle greeting made Chai Youde's sorrow and sorrow that he had been suppressing surge out of his heart like a flood blocked by a dam. It finally found an outlet to vent.
His lips were trembling and he was speechless for a long time, but tears poured out of his eyes like heavy rain, and he sat down on the ground and cried loudly.
Zhou Wen's heart sank as soon as he saw it. A relative of this old man's family must have been poisoned by the kid.
Xu Dacheng hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man up, and helped him sit down on a stone bench by the wall. Chai Youxiao, who was beside him, choked up and recounted the story.
Zhou Wen could only sigh after hearing this, while Xu Dacheng was annoyed, thinking that if he had gone a few minutes faster, he might have been able to lure the little devil out earlier, and the old man's wife and son would not have suffered the little devil's death.
The devil's poisonous hand.
Of course Zhou Wen knew what this good brother was thinking, so he patted him on the shoulder and said: "As long as the little devil is still on Chinese soil, this kind of thing cannot be avoided. The only way out is to fight these humanoid beasts.
"
Then he looked at Chai Youde who was still crying and said: "Old man, uncle, you two are great. Your courage to kill little devils is an example for us Chinese. You have avenged your family, and the other little devils have not escaped.
They were all beaten to death by us in the wilderness outside the village. I hope I won’t be too sad and it’s important to take care of yourself.”
Chai Youde raised his tearful face, looked at Zhou Wen seriously and said: "This military master, are all the little Japs really dead?"
"Really, you can go out and take a look later. The corpses are piled high."
"These beasts who have been killed by a thousand cuts deserve to die ten thousand times, but...it's just my poor child!"
Chai Youde cursed and cursed, but another burst of sadness came over him, and he cried bitterly again.
Zhou Wen knew that he had to divert the old man's attention, otherwise he might hurt his body due to excessive grief, so he said to Xu Dacheng: "Go and call Brother Lei and the others over, and use the fellow villagers' stove to make some hot food.
The village cannot wait long."
Seeing Xu Dacheng go out and mount his horse in response, Zhou Wen turned to the Chai Youde brothers and said: "I still need to trouble the old man and uncle to mobilize the villagers. So many little Japs died in and outside the village, waiting for the Japs to grow up."
If the troops come, I'm afraid the whole village will suffer. We have to leave quickly."
"Let's go? Where are we going? Aren't our own troops coming? Are the Japs coming again?" Chai Youde finally stopped sobbing and asked repeatedly.
These few questions made Zhou Wen speechless for a while, and he also felt aggrieved. As a soldier, he could not defend the enemy from the country, but instead asked his own people to flee their homes. No matter what the objective factors were, he would always feel a little embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, we were just passing by here. The Chinese army didn't fight back. Rehe is still occupied by the Japs."
Seeing the disappointed eyes of Chai Youde and Chai Youxiao, Zhou Wen also felt uncomfortable.
Chai Youde has been traveling around for many years, but he still can't see Zhou Wen's embarrassment. He knows that he is too eager and has embarrassed his savior.
He quickly said: "This little military master, you have nothing to do with us. On the contrary, you saved our lives and even avenged the little old man. Where do you want us to go? I will listen to you."
"
Zhou Wen also had some difficulties. Originally, he and Xu Dacheng traveled lightly and could come and go freely within a radius of hundreds of kilometers. Now I am afraid that they have to change their plans.
For him, when he met Lei Dahai and others who were the most sincere anti-Japanese volunteers, as well as innocent villagers like this village, if he did not lend a helping hand, he was afraid that they would not be able to escape the pursuit of the Japs.
As the old saying goes, it may be impossible for Zhou Wen to help every village in China that is harmed by the Japs, and every anti-Japanese army that is hunted down by the Japs. But if he encounters one, he must reach out and do his part.
Zhou Wen thought for a while and said: "Go to the pass. It is not far from the pass. We will escort you to enter the pass through the cold entrance. I will find a way to let the local government resettle you."
If you want to enter the customs, you must be escorted by Zhou Wen and others. Otherwise, let alone the little devils, even the Chinese army will not let people of unknown origin enter the customs in order to prevent the infiltration of Japanese spies.
After all, Chai Youde had seen some things in the world. He knew that the long-distance migration of hundreds of people in the village, old and young, was not a trivial matter, so he immediately ordered Chai Youxiao to go to the village to call all the heads of each family to the threshing floor, and asked him to hide and hide in the threshing floor.
Call the wives and children who are at other people's homes to come back and quickly make some food for these soldiers.
At this time, several people from the village who were close to Chai Youde came to visit. After seeing that there was no danger, a few old people came out to help with the preparations and asked the villagers to carry the bodies of Chai Youde's wife and son to the outside of the village for burial.
, which naturally caused Chai Youde to burst into tears.
At this time, Xu Dacheng had already led Lei Dahai and the others into the village.
As for how to mobilize the villagers on the threshing floor, Zhou Wen left it all to Chai Youde. He didn't know how to do ideological work, and he didn't have the time or patience to understand things rationally or move people emotionally.
The truth is obvious. As long as the little devil comes, the people in this village will definitely be poisoned.
Just for the purpose of warning, the little devil will definitely slaughter this village to pieces.
At this time, Zhou Wen discovered that in addition to a few wounded people, there were also several team members who were being helped into the compound. The person in charge was the yellow-faced man who had devoured the canned food before, but at this moment, his yellow face had already changed.
He is a white man, and he is extremely weak.
Zhou Wen didn't need Lei Dahai's explanation. He knew at a glance that these people were probably hungry, but he didn't expect it to be so serious. Especially the yellow-faced man, who had turned into a weak and feeble person after not seeing each other for an hour.
Critically ill people.
Little did he know that these people had not eaten for three days. For those who have not eaten for three days, if you eat so much cold, greasy, and hard beef at once, you are seeking death.
Of course, Zhou Wen would not have any ill feelings toward this yellow-faced man because of his selfish behavior. With two lifetimes of experience, he naturally knew that there were hundreds of people and all kinds of people.
No matter how selfish this man was, no matter how hard he endured hardship, he was still one of the few anti-Japanese heroes in this period. After all, he never surrendered to the little Japanese no matter how difficult it was.
