The soldiers all turned from the north of the village to the south of the village to gather. The political commissar personally led the recruits and listened to the villagers' personal accounts. It was not that the recruits had never seen these tragedies in the world, but they heard that only these ten were left among more than a hundred people. A few of them were hanging up, and the rest of them were going to go...everyone was feeling numb.
Even the ruthless gangster with blood on his hands couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
They had also heard that there was a bandit leader in a cottage in the north who had a hobby of eating people's hearts and drinking wine, but those were just rumors, and what they saw with their own eyes strongly shocked their numb hearts.
"Tell me what you think about this matter?" the political commissar asked with a dark face to the more than a hundred newcomers sitting on the ground.
There was a buzz below, but no one spoke.
"Why, are they all cowards? Are they not human beings? What is the reason that allows them to attack their companions? What do you cowards think?" the political commissar was angry.
"Well, sir, the devils are not fucking human beings. I will be the one who fights the devils from now on. I have to frown. I was raised by a donkey..." No one among the educated people responded, but a sturdy farmer next to him The villagers of Wangjia Village who looked like this were the first to speak.
As soon as he spoke, the person sitting on the ground also came to his senses: "I'll kill those bastards!"
"Count me in..."
"Kill those little devils."
"Yes, even if I die, I will kill a few Japs. At worst, eighteen years from now, I will be a good man again."
"..."
The people sitting on the ground started to make noise. Slowly, all the people sitting stood up and approached the political commissar one after another. They wanted to express their determination and make their position clear.
Someone in the middle had to raise his hands and shout.
Until Ma Liang came back to his senses and shouted a classic: "Down with Japanese imperialism..."
The sound was noisy at the beginning, but gradually became uniform, and the sound that came back and forth was so loud that it soared into the sky...
...
Security group station.
The people in the village are destined to be different from ordinary villages. They have always been oppressed by the security group. Fortunately, rabbits do not eat grass beside their nests. Most of the people in the village are old and weak, and those who are physically strong naturally join the security group.
There were quite a few young women, and they were more or less related to people in the security group.
One of them was Commander Gou's sweetheart.
In the past, she was the most handsome girl in the whole country. She was snatched away by Commander Gou to become his wife and she enjoyed a luxurious life. Now that everything has been lost again, she felt helpless, fearful and desperate at first.
She hated Sun Youshang to death, but she was just a woman, so how could she fight with someone named Sun?
Those who used to be fawning over her gradually became indifferent, even deliberately distant, and some malicious eyes were cast on her body.
She kept worrying until the teenage girl saw her.
She never sheds tears easily, because all the tears that should have been shed a few days ago have dried up.
The girl's eyes lit up. This woman was much more pleasing to the eye than the women in Jiuzhan Village: "What's your name?"
"Zhang...Zhang You." The woman replied softly.
"Zhang Zhangyou? How do you write the word "you"?" The girl wrote Zhang in a crooked way, but she couldn't write the word "you" anyway.
"Zhang You, long bow, long history of You!" the woman quickly added.
"I don't care if you are old or not, you write it yourself..." The girl was helpless. She really couldn't write the word "you". If it were some kind of flower or some kind of grass, it wouldn't bother her.
Zhang You shivered and wrote his name on the paper.
"Your handwriting is pretty good!" Xiao Hongying's eyes lit up. This handwriting is much better than hers: "Where is home?"
"North of An County."
"Who else is at home?"
"After the Japs entered the city, the whole family was killed by the Japs."
"Why didn't you die?" The girl didn't care about her feelings at all.
"Well, my father knew that the Japanese were beasts, so he sent me to a relative's house in the countryside to take refuge in advance, and I escaped." As the woman spoke, tears fell again.
"Don't cry. Then, why did you marry someone named Gou?" The girl frowned. A few people died. What's there to cry about?
The women in our wine station village, when have we ever seen them cry?
"After my father died, I swore an oath that I would live with anyone who avenged me..."
"Did the person named Gou avenge you?" The girl glared and asked curiously.
"No, the person who avenged me was the big boss of the former village here. For me, he went into the city and killed the traitor who led the Japanese to harm my family."
"What happened next?" The girl was disappointed, the show was not exciting.
"The eldest master wanted me to be his wife. On the night of the wedding, Gou led his men to capture the stronghold and killed the eldest master."
"Why did you marry him again?" The girl started to gossip again.
"He killed the big boss and occupied the stronghold. After seeing the little girl and hearing about the tragedy in the little girl's family, he said that he had led people to kill more than a dozen Japs. He also said that he wanted to marry me. I am a woman and I am a woman. What can be done?" Zhang You's pale face had no color at all.
"Then we killed the person named Gou, will you take revenge?" The girl said on a whim.
"Well, he later did business with a traitor, so he deserved it!"
"Hehe, I really didn't see it. If you have the consciousness, let's talk about it. What are your plans? Should you stay here, or should I give you two yuan for travel expenses back to your hometown? Of course, you can also go and join your relatives..." Yatouyan Gulu turned around and said, "Well, I can write, so I have to stay."
"You won't kill me?" The woman's eyes lit up.
"We eight...do you think we killed people randomly? Hehe." The girl who had a ulterior motive almost let it slip.
"Can I stay too?"
"Of course, but you have to stay. What do you know? Can you spin cotton?"
"No, I can learn." The woman seemed a little moved.
"No, don't you know how to write? What did you do at home before?"
"My father is a county official, and I went to private school for several years."
"Okay, I'll go talk to you and arrange something for you later."
Zhang You felt uneasy as he watched the door being closed again. The bad situation seemed to have turned around.
But what's the point of all this?
All her family members died, and she still had a glimmer of hope when she joined the boss. When Gou came to the village to kill her, her heart was broken again.
A few days ago, the person named Gou also died, and her heart also died. How could it be possible to revive the dead heart?
Even though she was alive, she was still a walking corpse. She couldn't recall it, and her memories were all nightmares. Those memories broke her heart. She had no hope for the future, couldn't think about the past, let alone the future.
Living was actually a kind of pain, and the newly aroused hope was extinguished again. Maybe she just wanted to find someone to talk to before she died.
So, she took off her belt, stood on the table, and walked around in a circle across the beams.
From now on, forget the pain of the past, don’t think about the future life, just let it be. There is really nothing in this world worth remembering...
There were some cheerful footsteps in the village. Tian Sanqi and Chen Chong had just finished eating and walked quickly into the headquarters.
The girl stood at the table.
"You said she is still literate?" Su Qing, who was sitting, raised his head and asked, nodding to the two people who came in.
"It's possible to keep an account or something... I guess." The girl sipped the water from the stainless steel cup.
"Can you not use my cup?" Su Qing frowned.
"Nonsense, this belongs to the fox!" After the girl said it, she thought of something: "By the way, when did this become yours?"
"⋯"
Su Qing turned to look at Tian Sanqi and Chen Chong: "Go and bring Zhang You over."
"Who is Zhang You?" Tian Sanqi was confused.
"Commander's concubine, in the stone house where people are detained outside." The girl yelled carelessly.
