Wang Maocai walked on the road with a confused look, like a zombie, as if his soul had been lost.
However, if someone could notice his eyes, they would find that his eyes seemed to be looking down at the road, but in fact they were constantly moving, as if he was thinking of something.
In fact, the former Wang Maocai had indeed lost his soul. Ever since hundreds of members of the He Yusheng Company were massacred by the Japanese, his heart was broken because his wife and 7-year-old daughter were not spared either.
The reason why he was forced to work for the Japanese was that after experiencing that nightmare night in the Japanese military camp, he was so frightened that he lost his soul. He did not have the courage to commit suicide, and he was afraid of the cruel methods of the Japanese. He was so confused. He ignorantly led the Japanese to rob He Yusheng of all his assets and hidden wealth.
In the process of searching with the Japanese, Wang Maocai killed many survivors who were hiding. Wang Maocai could no longer remember it. He didn't dare to think about it, and he didn't want to think about it. He forced himself to become numb.
He numbed himself no longer to survive. After his boss's family and his wife and daughter were all brutally killed, he actually no longer wanted to live. There were two reasons why he had to live an ignoble existence, and even now he has turned into these beasts. One of the accomplices is that although he is not afraid of death, he is afraid of pain, afraid of the cold bayonet of the Japanese soldier stabbing him, and afraid of the Japanese wolfdog with its blood-red eyes and long tongue tearing at his flesh.
Another one is unwilling to accept that his old boss, He Yusheng Company, who saved him from the roadside when he was about to freeze to death many years ago and trained him to become a decent person, is just like this, being killed by these wolves in human skin. It's a disaster, and these crazy demons are unwilling to do anything to do evil under the eyes of God without any punishment.
Now he can only believe in the famous saying "The natural cycle of retribution brings unfavorable consequences". It doesn't mean that there is no retribution because the time has not yet come. He has to watch with wide eyes and endure it until he sees these humanoid beasts being punished.
Since he survived that night that he dared not recall, he secretly swore in his heart that even if he was like a dog, he would live to see the moment when the evildoers were punished and justice was served.
However, when he saw the girl with two little knots on her head, these beasts were laughing wildly and shooting at them, trying their marksmanship like a target. He saw the swaying little body as if it was flying in the strong wind. A young leaf is trembling and rolling in the air...
He couldn't bear it anymore, and the inner torment and regret almost completely destroyed him physically and mentally.
He feels that every moment he lives now is painful suffering. He has no courage to live anymore. He is afraid that every more moment he lives, more children like Niu Niu will be killed.
Therefore, when a person who no longer wants to live makes up his mind, his mind that has been engaged in business since he was a child begins to become active.
He watched the Japanese hide dozens of corpses in a yard, and then began to search for the belongings and food of every household, as well as a lot of bacon prepared for the New Year in the villagers' homes, and actually made a sumptuous meal in the bloody village. dinner, and then had a big meal as if nothing had happened.
That Lai Youmao also suggested to the Japanese that the scene should be made to look like the bandits were looting it, so that the Japanese could take away all the looted property.
This sentence reminded Wang Maocai, and he thought, why did Lai Youmao and the Japanese fake the scene? There is only one possibility. They are also afraid. They are afraid of being discovered as Japanese spies and afraid of being chased.
Who are they afraid of? Of course it is the Chinese army stationed at Lengkou Pass.
So, if the Chinese army discovers those villagers who were slaughtered, will they come after them? Do you dare to pursue me?
Wang Maocai no longer thinks about this problem. He is a person who is not even afraid of death. What should he worry about? He just needs to plan according to the idea that there are chasing troops. Anyway, there is no good way now. As the saying goes, everything depends on man and God.
If there were no pursuers, he would just find an opportunity to drag a Japanese to death and that would be it. Anyway, this road was full of high mountains and long roads, and there were a lot of cliffs.
But how to make the hoped-for pursuers catch up with these beasts, then we must find ways to slow down the entire team.
Now, the route of this fake caravan disguised by Japanese spies is different from the route back. When it came, it was reconnaissance all the way from the direction of Chengde. Now it has killed people. In order to avoid being exposed, the route back can only be taken. Go straight to Jinzhou. Anyway, the reconnaissance mission is completed.
As for the way back, neither Lai Youmao nor the Japanese soldiers had walked on it. The only one who knew the way was Wang Maocai.
Last night, a group of people braved the cold winter to rest in a cave on the side of the mountain. Early this morning, someone suggested that it might be faster to abandon the cart and walk in the mountains. However, Wang Maocai tremblingly explained that he In the past, when I led caravans, I always took trade routes and never walked through mountain trails. It would be troublesome if I got lost.
Now Lai Youmao can only believe Wang Maocai's words, but in his heart he has been greeting all the female relatives of Ogura Guixiu's family. If it hadn't been for the impulse of this stupid and arrogant Japanese officer, it would be hard to say that he and the others had already explored the line. You can go straight through the small roads in the pass, and you can also return to the original route without hesitation.
Years of life with swords and blood have always kept him a little wary, and now he still has a little uneasiness.
He is very clear in his mind. Now all the people can only rely on Wang Maocai to lead the way. This person's role will be highlighted, and his harm will also increase at the same time.
In the past, Lai Youmao would not take an ant like Wang Maocai, whose courage was frightened by the Japanese and had no power to restrain a chicken, at all. But now, when a person's role is infinitely magnified, this person will People have to pay attention to it.
Once he started to turn his attention to Wang Maocai, he found that Wang Maocai was a little different from before.
Maybe no one else noticed any changes in Wang Maocai, but Lai Youmao did. He found that Wang Maocai seemed to be a little different from before after he came out of Kouwai Village, but he couldn't tell what the specific changes were. In short, It's a little different.
So along the way, his eyes glanced at Wang Maocai from time to time. Although he didn't think Wang Maocai could do anything to harm the team, it was always right to stay vigilant. This was his experience after escaping from death many times. .
In fact, Wang Maocai didn't realize that he was any different from before. He still looked timid in the team, and he still smiled charmingly and obeyed anyone who told him what to do.
But he noticed the pair of evil wolf-like eyes that were always hanging around him, which made him quietly squeeze something hidden in his pocket.
