A horse-drawn carriage carried a few people who had gone to the mountains to beg for a living, and walked slowly southward along the place where there was no road but only grass could pass.

The people in the car were Huo Xiaoshan and the people he met who went into the mountains to collect medicine.

During the small talk, Huo Xiaoshan learned that Liu Gui actually knew the merchant Li, because most of the medicinal materials collected by the merchant Li were sold to Rong Ji Pharmacy.

And Liu Gui also heard from the merchant Li that there is a nameless mountain village with dozens of families in the mountains in this area, and the medicinal materials collected in this village are particularly good and good, and now he knows that Huo Xiaoshan is a person from this mountain village, so he is naturally overjoyed.

So a cadre of people took a carriage and went to look for the mountain village according to the direction in Huo Xiaoshan's memory.

It's just that neither Huo Xiaoshan nor Liu Gui now knows the news of the merchant Li.

"Why haven't you arrived yet, you've been walking for more than a day, you won't forget your way home, right?" Rong Chao muttered to Huo Xiaoshan.

At this time, the cart happened to climb to a high post.

"After the hill ahead, we will reach our village!" Huo Xiaoshan suddenly pointed to a mountain in front of him and shouted.

Everyone was excited when they heard Huo Xiaoshan say this, and they all looked at the mountain.

The shape of the mountain was very different from the other nearby mountains.

Most of the mountains in the northeast are about a few hundred meters above sea level, and there are few strange peaks and strange rocks in the south, and most of them are round or conical with thin tops and thick bottoms.

However, this mountain looks different, the top of the mountain is more protruding than the bottom, and it looks like a person's high forehead from a distance.

"This mountain is called Ben'er Mountain! Do you see that piece of the top of the mountain is the same as a human run?! Huo Xiaoshan was immersed in the joy of coming home, he had skied to the bottom of this Ben Nuer Mountain in winter, so he was very impressed by this place.

The goal was in sight, and everyone looked at the different Ben Gang Mountain, and they all laughed heartily.

The characteristics of Heilongjiang place names are often very straightforward, except for those strange names transliterated from the Manchus, even people who don't know a few big characters can fully understand the place names of Northeast China.

For example, there must be a lot of bluestone in the bluestone stone, such as the Han family's depression, where there must be a family surnamed Han who lived in the depression first.

And so on, the ant river must be next to the river with ants, the toad ditch must be in the summer is a blister in the croaking of a lot of toads, the most elegant is afraid of the first **** mountain, this is not evasive, it must be the mountain under the circle and there is a small mountain tip like a woman's ****.

Such names are naturally in the process of land reclamation, and the earliest residents who arrived here called them casually, and the image is easy to remember, so they have been handed down.

And the earliest pioneers must be those who were forced to move to this wild place by life, the cultural quality will not be very high, or there is basically no culture, no scholarly family will come here to create a new world, so the Northeast wilderness is unlikely to have such a deep cultural heritage as the south, for example, this **** mountain, if you change to the south with a rich cultural atmosphere, even if the meaning is the same, it is estimated that it will be named Jade Milk Peak or the like.

"When you go to the village, I'll ask my mother to give you steamed pot stickers to eat." Huo Xiaoshan said with a smile, as if he saw the old lady Song Zijun steaming the three-sided pot stickers to the dinner table.

"That's right! Burn the boar's head that was left over from yesterday's eating. The pillar shouted loudly.

"Yes, get some burnt knives and some green onion sauce." After walking all morning, under the temptation of food, everyone became more and more hungry.

In anticipation of everyone, the carriage finally climbed a high hill next to Ben'er Mountain.

"Look, isn't that our village ......" Huo Xiaoshan stood on the carriage and jumped to point to the small mountain village under Gao Gang, but he only stopped halfway through his words, because he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

At this time, it was almost noon, and it was time for the families to cook and the smoke to rise, but there was no trace of fireworks in that small village! It seems to merge with the surrounding mountains, and there is no human fireworks.

Huo Xiaoshan jumped out of the carriage and hurried towards the village a few hundred meters away.

Home is getting closer and closer, but Huo Xiaoshan's heart is getting colder and colder.

Huo Xiaoshan's house is the first one in the north of the village, protruding from the entire outside of the village.

He saw that the roof of his house was gone, not only the main house, but also the wing room where he used to drag mud and build no roof!

Finally ran home, Huo Xiaoshan walked around from the back of the house to the front door with great familiarity. The wooden courtyard gate had fallen and was crooked against the earthen wall.

Huo Xiaoshan stepped over the reclining wooden door and walked into the courtyard, which was already overgrown with artemisia grass that was almost one person high, and with a "flutter", a gray mountain hare kicked its hind legs hard and burrowed into the deeper grass.

The roof was gone, and there were still rare traces of fire burning in the ruins of the wall, and when he walked to the door of the burned house, Huo Xiaoshan saw that the house frame had collapsed, and the black carbonized wood that had not been burned out seemed to silently tell the catastrophe it had experienced.

"Daddy! Mother! The hill is back! Where are you? No one answered Huo Xiaoshan's shout, only the breeze blew the leaves in front of the door and made a rustling sound.

It was already noon, and the sun was still shining hotly overhead, but Huo Xiaoshan had a feeling of pulling out the cold from head to toe in his heart.

Liu Gui and others also rushed up, and they were also facing such a dilapidated village, and their hearts were also extremely heavy.

"What's the matter, why is there no one?" As soon as Zhu Zi muttered a word, he was glared back by Liu Gui, and anyone could guess that something unusual had happened in this small village.

Huo Xiaoshan suddenly turned his head and came out of his yard and walked towards the village, and everyone followed silently.

Layue's family, Gadouzi's family, Liu Ergang's family, Grandma Shi's family, Yadaner's family...... Huo Xiaoshan walked into the yard one by one, and walked out one by one, all the houses had been burned by fire, and there was no one to live, obviously no one had lived here for a long time.

When Huo Xiaoshan walked to the south of the village, he saw a large round mound of earth, which he didn't have at all in his memory.

He slowly walked to the mound of weeds, and saw a wooden board exposed in the artemisia that was nearly one person high in front of the mound, he stepped forward to remove the artemisia and stepped on it with his foot, and Liu Gui, Zhuzi, and Rong Chao behind him hurriedly went up to help step on it, and the wooden board buried in the soil was completely displayed in front of everyone.

This is a pine plank, which has been somewhat blackened after a long period of wind and sun.

"There's a word on it!" Pillar said.

"Hurry up." And all the people should be in peace.

Rong Chao squatted down, recognized the handwriting, and read it out word by word: "In the winter of the 21st year of the Republic of China, 143 people from 35 households in my village, except for three who escaped by luck and one person who went missing, the remaining 138 people were all killed by the Japanese and were buried here. ”

"Huh?! This group of pigs and dogs is inferior to livestock! Everyone was shocked and blurted out scolding.

Huo Xiaoshan was silent with a sad and indignant face, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Don't shout, there's still a word down there!" Rong Chao turned around and waved his hand to stop everyone.

The crowd immediately fell silent.

Then I heard Rong Chao read: "Xiaoshan, my father and mother have gone to avenge you!" ”

"Hill?" The pillar excitedly patted Huo Xiaoshan's shoulder, "Your father and mother are not dead!" ”

Huo Xiaoshan's chest rose and fell, and he breathed a long sigh of relief, but then the faces of the villagers who thought of the dead became solemn again, and the voices and smiles of Layue, Ga Douzi, and Erhuzi flashed in his mind.

"What's the matter, why are there so many people running out of a village, don't those old men go up the mountain during the day?" Liu Guixiang was talking to himself, as if he was asking Huo Xiaoshan.

"It's winter, go up the mountain?" The pillar snatched his father's words.

Huo Xiaoshan still didn't say anything, but he figured it out in his heart.

The day before the devil entered the village, the wolf entered the village, most of the pigs raised by the family were bitten to death, and those adults were at home to clean up the dead pig, although the pig was bitten to death, but after all, there was still a lot of meat left to eat for the New Year, but I didn't expect that at this time the devil entered the village, if it wasn't for his father Huo Yuan and Liu Erpole to go into the mountain to find the reason why the wolf entered the village, they would definitely not be able to escape this catastrophe.

The three of them escaped by chance, so the remaining one should be the old lady Song Zijun, because Huo Xiaoshan heard Hao Cunyi say that the mother ran from the village to the old forest. One person should be missing to refer to me, my father and mother thought that most of them had been killed by the devil, so they must have gone to the devil with Uncle Erpole to take revenge on the devil. Only, where will they go to take revenge? Huo Xiaoshan had calmed down at this time.

"Uncle Liu, can I go to the county seat with you?"

After pondering for a while, Huo Xiaoshan asked.
