Donkey Er frowned and walked into the village.
The village was quiet, with traces of fire everywhere.
Suddenly, Donkey Er saw two corpses hanging from the branches of a tree on the street, swaying in the wind.
"Ah, what's going on?"
Donkey Er was shocked and ran over to watch.
I saw that the body was full of gunshot wounds.
At this time, he saw again that there was a pile of corpses piled under the tree.
These corpses were old and young, male and female, several young children, and pregnant women whose stomachs had been cut open. The death was so tragic that it was unbearable to look at.
Donkey Er was shocked. His palms suddenly clenched and he gasped.
"What's going on? What's going on? What's going on? Who is so cruel that he even kills babies and pregnant women?"
It's not that Donkey Er has never seen dead people before, it's just that he's never seen so many dead people, and the death was so tragic.
He has always lived in his own little world, playing cards, having fun, and hooking up with women every day, and never cared about the outside world.
His father, Carpenter Lu, was a carpenter and his family was well off. He always won money playing cards, so he had always lived a happy and comfortable life.
He had also heard how cruel the Japanese were and how they massacred the people since they came, but he had not seen it with his own eyes, and he chose not to care about these things. He just wanted to continue living a happy life in his own little world.
Now, he finally saw this tragic situation with his own eyes. Although he did not see the Japs, he already guessed that the crimes were committed by the Japs. Ordinary bandits would not be so cruel and would even kill babies and pregnant women.
At this time, an old farmer timidly poked his head out from behind the wall, saw Donkey Er, and said quickly:
"Young man, go quickly, go quickly----"
Donkey Er held back his grief and anger and asked:
"Uncle, what happened here? Why were so many people killed?"
The old farmer said sadly:
"It's all done by the Japanese! These beasts, inhuman dogs, when they entered the village, they killed people and set fires. They are a bunch of dog robbers!"
"And those traitors! They are more affectionate than their own fathers when they meet the Japanese, and they are more ruthless than jackals when they meet the common people!"
"Several villages nearby have been raided by Japanese soldiers, and all the villagers have fled. If I hadn't been too old to run away, I would have left too."
"Young man, please leave quickly before you meet the Japanese and risk your life."
Donkey Er suddenly clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and cursed:
"Japs! Traitors! These bastards!"
In the past, Lu Er also hated the Japanese traitors, but his hatred was not strong. Now that he has seen with his own eyes the crimes committed by the Japanese traitors, his hatred for the Japanese traitors is extremely strong.
If there were a Japanese traitor in front of him now, he would rush forward and fight with all his strength, even with his bare hands!
At this time, the old farmer saw that Donkey Er was only wearing a single piece of clothing on his upper body, so he quickly took off his old cotton-padded jacket and handed it to Donkey Er.
"Young man, let me put on your cotton-padded jacket."
Donkey Er knew that ordinary farmers often only have one cotton-padded coat for winter, so he quickly said:
"Uncle, give me the cotton-padded jacket. What will you do?"
The old farmer smiled bitterly: "I only have this cotton-padded jacket. If I had put it away before, I would have been reluctant to give it to you. But now——"
He looked at the corpses on the ground, with a look of sorrow, anger and sorrow in his eyes, and said: "So many people have died, some of them are wearing cotton-padded jackets..."
Donkey Er understood what the old farmer meant. He was going to strip the dead man's clothes and wear them...
Donkey Er's heart felt sour, his eyes were hot, and he almost shed tears. He suppressed his grief and anger, reached out to take the cotton-padded jacket from the old farmer's hand, and quickly left the village while wearing the cotton-padded jacket.
He felt that if he didn't leave, he would suffocate. The strong smell of blood and the horrific corpses strongly stimulated his brain and impacted his soul.
At this time, he remembered Yingzi's words again.
"If you want to still be a man, go fight the Japanese and kill the traitors! You eat, drink, whore and gamble all day long, and spend all your energy on women. What kind of man are you? Bah, I despise you!"
Donkey Er took a long breath and thought:
"Yingzi is right, the Japanese invaded our land and killed my compatriots, and the traitors worked for the tigers and did evil. As a man, I only know how to play cards and play with women. What kind of man am I?"
"Yingzi is a woman, and she has this realization. As a man, I am not as good as a woman. I have lived in vain for the past eighteen years!"
"This time I beat Ding Jia, the traitor, just because he touched Yingzi. If it were another man touching Yingzi, I would have beaten him as well. To put it bluntly, I was jealous for the sake of competition and did not regard Ding Jia as a traitor. beat."
"Next time I meet traitors like Ding Jia and the Japanese again, I will definitely kill them to avenge my compatriots and let the Japanese and traitors know that we Jiaodong men are not easy to mess with!"
Donkey Er left the village and walked aimlessly in the fields.
He was not familiar with this area. He had been running all night, and he had probably traveled forty or fifty miles. He had never been to such a far place.
Because several nearby villages had just been raided by the Japanese, there were almost no human beings in the fields and roads in the countryside. People were either hiding at home or going out to seek refuge.
"Thumping, pounding----"
Suddenly, there was a burst of fierce gunfire from the front.
Donkey Er was startled. He looked up and saw dust flying in front of him. In the dust, there were shadows of strong horses and motorcycles.
Donkey Er looked at the formation and realized that if he stood still, he would be sucked in. He didn't want to be sucked in for no apparent reason, so he wanted to avoid it temporarily.
The donkey looked around and saw a small hill not far away and a big stone halfway up the hillside.
Donkey Er quickly ran up the hillside, hid behind a big rock, and looked out to observe the situation.
Soon, a war horse galloped over, followed by several motorcycles, with more than a dozen Japanese and puppet troops sitting on the motorcycles.
The Japanese and puppet troops chased the riders and fired at them at the same time.
The rider on the horse fled, turned around and fired.
Donkey Er saw that the rider on the horse was a strong man about fifty years old, with strong skills and excellent marksmanship.
The man didn't fire many shots, but every time he fired, one of the Japanese and puppet soldiers was shot and fell off the motorcycle.
He fired three shots without missing a beat, hitting three Japanese and puppet soldiers.
Soon, the bullets in the man's pistol ran out. He threw away the pistol, picked up the rifle from behind, turned around and fired two more shots, hitting two puppet soldiers, and continued to gallop.
Donkey Er was behind the stone, watching with excitement. He couldn't help but secretly applaud the man:
"Good marksmanship, good skills, this is a pure man!"
