"Ah! Mother, mother!!!!" The Japanese officer looked at the Japanese soldiers killing each other in front of him, and the remaining reason in his mind was overwhelmed by fear. Now he just wants to return to his mother's arms.
There was a sudden bang, and a shell fell around the Japanese officer, immediately blowing the officer to pieces on the left and right.
Obviously he can't see his mother anymore and can only wait for his mother to see him. The child who was leading the way was hiding behind a pile of sand not far away and shivering.
"Master didn't lie to me, there really are ghosts in this desert, there really are ghosts!"
The child's face was full of horror, but after seeing the Japs slaughtering each other, his face was full of excitement, these damn Japs! And you have cannons? It's a good thing you have cannons, otherwise the explosion wouldn't be so fragmentary.
The excited child did not notice that with the death of the Japanese, the sky gradually turned blood red, and the child's eyes gradually filled with red light.
Finally, the clarity in the child's eyes was swallowed up by the scarlet light, and he immediately stood up and rushed towards the Japanese without hesitation...
"Master, Master! It's not good, Brother Gouzi took the Japanese to that desert."
A little girl with a ponytail hurried into the yard, crying and shouting to the old man who was discussing guerrilla strategy with the guerrilla leader in the yard.
"What!?" The old man almost lost his teeth, but he still stood up in shock after hearing this.
"Didn't I say that you can't go to that desert no matter what? Where did the Japanese come from? How many people are there?"
It was the first time that the little girl saw her grandfather being so excited. She was trembling with fright, but she still hurriedly replied: "Brother Gouzi said he would take me to guard for everyone, and then he met the Japanese in the desert. There are so many of them. , the mountains and plains are full of Japs.
Then Brother Gouzi asked me to come back to report the news. He pretended to meet the Japanese, told them there was a treasure in the desert, and lured them in. "
As soon as the guerrilla captain heard that the mountains and plains were full of Japanese soldiers, he immediately became vigilant.
"Thank you, old man. I have to go down quickly to get the soldiers ready to fight."
The old man waved his hand feebly: "Don't worry, Erya, have you seen the dog lead the Japanese into the desert with your own eyes?"
"Ang, Master, I was hiding behind the rocks. I saw the Japanese following Brother Gouzi into the desert before I dared to run back." Erya looked at the old man crying and said, "Master, let's go see Brother Gouzi for the last time. Just one side."
"Yes, Mr. Xie, the dog can't delay it for long. When the Japanese realize that something is wrong, it will be too late for us to prepare." The guerrilla leader was also a little anxious. The Japanese were about to come, but Mr. Xie still told himself not to be anxious. If we don't hurry, we'll let the Japanese take over.
"Don't worry, once the devil walks into that desert, it's impossible for him to come out again." The old man sighed, feeling proud of Gouzi and feeling sorry for this brave child.
"Mr. Xie, what do you mean? You have always emphasized that our guerrillas must not enter that desert. Will that desert still eat people?"
"It's a long story. Let's go to the desert together and have a look. We'll talk as we walk and call your soldiers. If you don't let them see it with their own eyes, they won't believe it.
Erya, go and call everyone over. Let's go see Gouzi for the last time. This will save everyone from forgetting the horror of this desert. "
After saying that, the old man took the lead and walked out. Erya immediately rang the big bell in the village. The guerrilla captain also called all the members of the guerrilla team. After all the villagers of Xiejia Village and the guerrilla soldiers arrived, they all headed towards the village together. Head towards the desert.
"Thank you, old man. Don't we need to hide? If we encounter the Japanese in such a swaggering way, we probably have no chance of winning."
"No need to hide, just walk there together, and let them listen to the story of this desert together, otherwise something will happen sooner or later."
The guerrilla leader hesitated for a while but chose to believe the old man. The old man was the most senior and oldest person in Xiejia Village. He was also highly respected in this area and would definitely not make fun of everyone's lives. He immediately signaled the guerrillas to gather over.
"Ever since I was a child, I have been told countless times by adults not to enter that desert. But one time, children from several nearby villages competed for courage. A foolish young man proposed to go to the desert. Several little boys I don't want to lose face, but I just go ahead and go, no matter who is afraid of me.
I was timid at that time, and they laughed at me a lot because of this. I also wanted to prove myself, so I went with the bullet, and the rest who didn't dare to go went home.
When I almost reached the desert, I regretted it. I was really scared when I thought about the desert. I backed down eight times in ten minutes. The leader, the stupid young man, thought I was disturbing the morale of the army, so he arranged for me to wait outside the desert for them to come out. Go back together.
In fact, they didn't plan to go very far. The desert was so big. How could they really walk all over it? They just wanted to take a walk around the outermost area and then go back so they could brag.
I watched them walk into the desert with my own eyes. Fortunately, everyone was in high spirits at first, but as they walked in, the desert and the sky above the desert began to turn red, and everyone began to feel restless.
I noticed something was wrong and called them out loudly. I remember clearly that they had only walked in for two or three hundred meters at that time, but no matter how loud I shouted, they didn't seem to hear them, and they were not aware of the changes in the desert and the sky. Turn a blind eye.
Later they started fighting, yes, they were fighting! One by one, they picked it with their hands and bit it with their teeth, doing whatever they could.
At that time, I was so scared that they seemed to be possessed by ghosts. Even if their ears were bitten off and their eyes were gouged out, they seemed to feel no pain.
At this time, adults from several nearby villages rushed over. It turned out that the other children were afraid that we would cause trouble after returning, so they told the adults about our trip to the desert. When the adults heard this, they immediately went to find the most respected old man in the area. .
At that time, the old man knew as soon as he heard that something was broken and something was going to happen! So he quickly asked the adults in the village to rush to the desert to see if it was too late. The adults also knew how dangerous the desert was, so everyone who could walk rushed over.
When everyone saw the children fighting in the desert, they knew it was too late, so they went in anyway.
There were two families with only one child. Regardless of everyone's dissuasion, they insisted on going in to save their child. They said that if they couldn't save the child, they would die together inside. They couldn't let the child go on the road alone.
In fact, they had been fighting for a long time at that time. Even if they were pulled out of the desert, they would definitely not survive such serious injuries.
Everyone understood what they were thinking and immediately stopped stopping them.
Then the four adults walked into the desert under the watchful eyes of everyone. It was normal at first, but as they got closer and closer to the child, they became abnormal.
In the end, under the gaze of everyone, they easily killed the other children, and then the four of them fought to the death, and finally they all fell in the desert.
The other parents were furious, watching their children being killed, but there was nothing they could do. Those who tried to enter the desert again were held tightly by the people around them.
At this time, the most virtuous and respected old man also spoke. He said think about your remaining children and what you would do if you lost them.
They calmed down after hearing this, but still begged the old man to find a way to get the child's body out so that the child could go away decently.
The old man said that they were not here to save people. When they went to find the old man, the old man knew that it was too late. He came today to make everyone remember.
This desert is absolutely forbidden to enter, but anyone who enters this desert will be treated as dead regardless of life or death. Even if he runs to the edge of the desert, he will be poked back with a stick, and even the body cannot leave. This desert.
The parents who had lost their children collapsed immediately when they heard this, and cried their hearts out.
The old man told me that I saved my life today, but if I dared to put even a foot in, he would throw me into the desert.
Then the old man scolded everyone present, especially those parents who were still crying. I still remember how the old man scolded me.
'How many times have I told you not to enter the desert? Especially the children at home, who are most likely to cause trouble if they don’t know the heights of the sky, so they must be watched carefully, but do you take it to heart?
No generation should allow this desert to take away a few children. These children don't know how powerful this place is. You have to tell them every now and then. If not, just give them a beating every now and then to make them remember. It's better than losing your life in the desert.
The purpose of calling everyone together this time is to make everyone remember it. Again, if anyone sneaks into the desert again, no one is allowed to rescue him. Even if he dies, his body cannot be taken home.
The corpses in the desert will turn into evil spirits when they come out. If anyone releases an evil spirit, all of us will be killed by him! '
When I returned to the nearby villages that day, all the children in the nearby villages were beaten. Even the children who had just learned to speak were spanked. But I, who had escaped from hell for a while, was beaten by my father from the afternoon of that day to noon of the next day. , and then my mother beat me all afternoon, and I lay in bed for three months before I could get out of bed.
So ever since I became the most respected old man in this area, I have always emphasized that we are not allowed to enter the desert, and I have explained the stakes to everyone clearly, so from that time until now, no children have ever entered the desert again. . "
Everyone was silent after listening, and the entire team was deathly quiet, with only the sound of footsteps as people walked.
After a long time, the guerrilla leader asked in a hoarse voice: "That dog?"
Mr. Xie knew what he meant and said hoarsely: "Of course the dog knows that he can't come out again if he goes into the desert."
Everyone's eyes suddenly turned red, and Gouzi's mother started sobbing softly.
"Hold it back! Don't embarrass Gouzi. Gouzi is a good person and is much better than the two of us. We can't embarrass Gouzi." Gouzi's father's eyes were red and he tried not to let the tears fall. She scolded the dog's mother in a low voice.
"The boss is right, I won't cry, I'm happy for Gouzi." Gouzi's mother wiped away her tears and forced a smile.
Gouzi's father held Gouzi's mother's hand and carefully wiped her tears.
"When we get back, we will build a tomb for our son. Then the tomb of the anti-Japanese hero Gouzi will be engraved on the monument."
Gouzi’s mother bit her lips and nodded with red eyes.
There was silence all the way until everyone came to the edge of the desert. They saw corpses littering the desert. Corpse remains, viscera, limbs, guns and ammunition were scattered all over the place. At a rough glance, there were probably thousands of Japs.
Gouzi's body was in the innermost part. His body was torn to pieces by bullets, but his hands were still holding the Japanese's neck tightly.
Everyone was so frightened that they turned pale when they saw the scene that was like hell on earth, while Gouzi's mother shed tears looking at Gouzi's broken body.
"Master, have you seen it? The dog is a hero, and he will still strangle the devil by the neck until he dies."
Women in several nearby villages could not help crying.
"Since I was a kid, I've always looked after dogs, so I said this kid can't be a coward."
"Good boy, he is a man!"
"A bad name makes a hero. A small person has a strong backbone."
"Erhei should learn from your brother Gouzi. If you can be half as good as your brother Gouzi, my mother will have the honor to meet your father."
The guerrillas raised their hands in salute at the same time as if they had a clear understanding.
Soon after, a legend spread that the desert in the northeast contained endless gold and silver jewelry, and even the secret of immortality was buried in the deepest part...
