The Russians will chase after him at any time, and they must get out of here as soon as possible, and Immediately Naomun suddenly picked up Minamino Eisuke's bulky body without a word, led him out of the village, and walked in a certain direction on a pitch-black field. www.biquge.infoEisuke Minamino moved his body obediently and obediently, feeling dizzy and nauseous as if he were drunk.

They didn't bother to look back, but they could hear the cacophony and shouting of panic behind them. Yes, the gunshots are inaudible, but hearing the frightened voices is more anxious than the gunshots. It seems that the Russians have flocked to the edge of the village, or may be following them. Minamino Eisuke was soaked in sweat and blood all over his body, and his camouflage suit made of thick cotton had a large dark blood spot under his armpit, and he was chased with great difficulty. A few times they tripped together, and Naofumi immediately got up and picked up Eisuke Minamino, so the two of them swayed again, stumbling through the cold and dark night, trudging across the windy wilderness of winter.

They didn't use their skis -- they walked straight into knee-deep need, and they dragged each other tightly, moving their tired feet forward, so tired that they almost fell into the snow. Immediately Naowen was exhausted, but he continued to take care of Eisuke Minamino, who was holding Eisuke Minamino in his right hand and carrying a rifle and rifle in his left hand, and the backpack on his shoulder was always falling down. Eisuke Minamino gritted his teeth and forced himself to make an effort, go, go, and get away from this hapless village.

At this time, there was a heavy snow in the night sky, and the surroundings were white and hazy, and the sky was dark and dark, and the snowflakes were all over the sky, and they were all flying, and the cold light was shining, so that they could not raise their heads. But the wind was lighter than yesterday, and it seemed to be a tailwind. They walked blindly through the wilderness, stopping from time to time to catch their breath. Minamino felt anxious that he was becoming less and less energetic, but he still walked tenaciously, hoping to find a place to stay and not die in the wilderness. He is unwilling to die: as long as he is alive, he will fight, even if it is a night, plus a day, even if it is a lifetime, as long as he can not die, he can return to his own people alive.

Probably Naomun was in the same mood immediately, but he didn't say anything to Eisuke Minamino, just supported Eisuke Minamino as much as he could. Far from being a strong man, he used what little strength he had left, and in other circumstances, Eisuke Minamino might wonder how this middle-aged man of forty years old who was frail and exhausted on the outside could still have such strength. But now he is weaker than him, and he has to rely entirely on his strength. Eisuke Minamino knew that if they fell down and couldn't get up, then they had to crawl forward, because no matter what, they would be saved if they went forward, and they would only die if they went back.

In a depression where the snow was quite deep, they hesitated to stop once or twice. Immediately, Shang Wen supported Minamino Eisuke, trying to see something in front of him, but Minamino Eisuke didn't find it right away. After a while, Minamino Eisuke took a closer look through the night that was thickened by the wind and snow, and began to see a blurry black dot as well. How big it is, how far away from them, can't be determined. The black spot could be a nearby bush, a distant building, or a cedar tree on the edge of the forest. Anyway, this black spot aroused their alarm, so Tsumi Naofumi thought for a moment and put Minamino Eisuke sideways.

"You take a rest first, Nongye-kun, I'll go take a look......"

Eisuke Minamino didn't answer, he was having a hard time speaking now, he was snoring and panting, lying on the snow, sullen. His head was drooping to the ground, and his eyes were starring. But his sanity was clear, and this compelled him to continue the fight for himself and for the commander of the guerrilla unit of the government army, the savior in front of him. This life-saver is also about to fall, but so far, Eisuke Minamino has nothing to blame him, because he has behaved very well in the village and in the wilderness. Seeing that Shangwen was calm and confident, and his movements were sharp, Eisuke Minamino was convinced that his vision was not wrong.

I can cooperate with him now, but of course, how they get along with each other after Hokkaido is completely restored is another matter.

Eisuke Minamino collected his thoughts and waited patiently for a few minutes, with Naofumi Tachimi sitting beside him, he thought, it seems that they should lighten their load a little and throw away some of their things. Now there is no need to bring many things with you, only personal weapons, bullets, and thunder bullets are still useful. It seems to be useless anymore. However, he was so exhausted that he couldn't even untie his backpack, so he had to hang his head weakly.

After a while, he noticed that the white figure of Shangwen had quietly appeared in the dim snow, and he said excitedly as he walked, "Nongye-kun, bathhouse!" There's a little bathhouse there, you know? Not a single one. ”

There is a bathhouse, of course this is good, Minamino Eisuke thought of this, silently and laboriously stood up, and immediately saw Shangwen pick up his backpack and rifle, and came over to help Minamino Eisuke, so they dragged their heavy legs again towards the shadowy bathhouse nearby.

This is indeed a small rural bathhouse, made of cedar treetops, and you can smell smoke inside. Immediately, Shang Wen kicked open the top door stick, and the low door opened automatically. Minamino Eisuke lowered his head, grabbed the wall with both hands, and burrowed into the smoke-blackened doorway, he felt his hands in all directions, and touched a smooth little stove, and the broom on the wall was rattled.

At this time, Naowen opened another door, and the changing room of the bathhouse emitted a strong smell of soot and birch musty. He walked in, and after a moment of silence in the dark, he beckoned to Eisuke Minamino, "Come here." There are a few benches here...... Now put it together ......"

Eisuke Minamino clung to the doorframe and crossed the threshold, and when he touched the bench, he snorted and gasped and lay straight on it, his boots against the wall.

"Close the door."

"Okay, go right away. There's still a bit of hay here, you can pillow it......"

Eisuke Minamino silently raised his head, asked Naofumi Tatsumi to put the hay underneath, and closed his eyes weakly. For a moment he couldn't tell whether he was asleep or unconscious, Venus was shining in his eyes, his head was dizzy, he was nauseous, he wanted to turn to one side, but his heavy body was no longer listening. He fainted, and it seemed, he was indeed unconscious......

It took him a long and painful time to come to his senses, he felt chills all over his body, and his mouth was very thirsty, but he could not open his chapped lips for water for a long time. When he felt movement around him, he opened his eyes forcefully - from the locker room appeared the white figure of Naomin Immediately, his hood pulled behind his head, his rifle in both hands. The bathhouse was gray, but the small windows on the wall were white, and every crack in the locker room was shining brightly, and Eisuke Minamino knew that morning had come. But immediately seeing that Shangwen was attracted by something outside, he bent down and leaned over the small window, intently observing there.

Eisuke Minamino tried to roll sideways again, a long, hoarse sound in his chest, and he coughed. Tatsumi Naofumi hurriedly left the window and turned to look at the injured Minamino Eisuke.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, nothing ......"

Minamino Eisuke felt that there was something else to ask about Naowen in Limi, but the other party didn't ask anything more, and I don't know why he suddenly stopped talking.

Seeing that Shangwen was still leaning over the small window, he lowered his voice and said softly, "There are Russians in the village. ”

"Which village?"

"That's it. The cottage behind the willow tree at the edge of the village...... The Russians are moving around. ”

"Far away?"

"Maybe three hundred paces away."

Yes, if there were Russians within a distance of three hundred paces who did not spot them, then it can be said that they were lucky to have come across this bathhouse. However, it used to be night, but now that the day has begun, who knows how long they can hide here?

"It's fine. As long as you don't show up. ”

"I've closed the door." Immediately saw that Shangwen's head nodded towards the door, "I put it on top with a wooden stick." ”

"Good. Is there water? ”

"Yes," replied Immediately, "there is water in this barrel, which I have drunk, but it is frozen. ”

"Give it to me."

Immediately seeing that Naofumi was not so dexterous with his hands and feet, he fed Eisuke Minamino with a copper jar, and there was a strange smell in the water, and the soaked birch leaves were stuck to his lips. In short, the water is undrinkable, as if it had been brought from a puddle; Eisuke Minamino's body is also very uncomfortable, the **** is swollen, it is difficult to take a breath, and the cough is not good at all.

After drinking some water, Minamino Eisuke felt a little more relaxed and seemed to be sober. He looked around, and the bathhouse was small, with a low ceiling blackened and walls covered with black soot. In a corner by the door, a pile of stones lay on the stove, and next to the stove stood a wooden barrel with water. On his head hung a thin pole with some abandoned rags. Of course, there will be people who come here at any time to pick up all kinds of things, and when they come, they will be found. The bathhouse may be too far from the village, and the village may also have Russians - why didn't he think of this in the first place?

"What can I see there?" He asked softly about the motionless Tachimi Shangwen next to the crack in the locker room door.

"Someone came out of the yard...... Two, smoking cigarettes...... Where are you going......"

"Russians?"

"Hmm."

"It doesn't matter, just be careful. We're not going to let them catch easily. ”

Of course, he knew how valuable these words of comfort were, but what else could he do? He only knew that if the Russians came suddenly, they would have to fight until there were no bullets...... What if the Russians don't come, or even simply withdraw from the village? It was strange that something new appeared in Minamino Eisuke's senses at this time, something new that was almost unfamiliar to him, a strange composure in the proximity of the Russians, the anxiety and annoyance that had been haunting him for days, seemed to have been swept away, and now seemed to disappear without a trace along with his physical strength. And if you lose your physical strength, you lose your motivation and enthusiasm. Now, he tries to think about and analyze everything accurately so that his actions are not wrong, because any mistake can have fatal consequences. He now clearly understands first and foremost that he must be prepared to wait. During the day, on this snowy field, on the edge of the village, nothing could be done, so I had to wait patiently until it was dark, so that I could try to escape by night.

But waiting also requires physical strength, and you also need to try to maintain your semi-comatose consciousness, and hold on with a tenacious will. It's not easy to oppose a healthy person like Shangwen. It is not so simple to control the nerves in the trap of falling under the noses of the Russians. Minamino Eisuke thought as he watched as Naobun Tatsumi walked up and down the bathhouse—one moment walking towards the window on the wall, the other into the locker room with four leaky walls. His expression was solemn, and every time Eisuke Minamino looked at him, he thought: The Russians are coming!

However, probably to comfort himself, Lijian Shangwen said out loud from time to time: "Someone came to the path...... It's like going to the well. Right. Like an old woman carrying a bucket ......"

After a while, he said, "Oh! They came out. No, stop. Stand there...... Where did we go? ”

"Where are we going?"

"Hell knows, a wooden room is in the way."

"It's okay, don't be nervous. They're not going to come here. ”

Minamino Eisuke didn't go to Tatsumi Naomi to ask for his rifle, he thought, in case something happened, it would be more convenient for this person to use it, not to mention that he still had a thunder flame bullet left. Now he can't do without such hand-dropped bombs. He untied his belt and placed it next to the bench. Next to his head, a pistol was pressed against the wall. Everything is ready, all that remains is to wait.

From this unforgettable Sunday morning, the world was mercilessly divided into two halves: half life and half death. To avoid it, to hide from it, to overcome it on your own path and to prolong your life requires great effort, exhaustion and pain...... There is no doubt that in order to survive, victory should be won, but victory is only possible if you survive - war exposes people to the fate of this damned cycle of cause and effect. In order to defend one's own life, it is necessary to destroy the enemy, not one, but many, and the more you destroy, the greater the hope of the individual and the whole to live. Survival can only be achieved by destroying the enemy - there is clearly no other way in war.

Is it impossible for him to destroy the enemy anymore as he is now? He only has the ability to destroy himself, and now he is an incompetent warrior. No matter how much he comforted himself, no matter how tenacious he tried, he couldn't help but realize that he couldn't go to war for the time being.

"So what to do? Did he die silently in this bathhouse? ”

No! It just can't be like this! This is terrible, uncomfortable, and even shameful for oneself, against Shang Wen, a famous general of the government army, and for all his own people. As long as he lived, he would never allow himself to do so.

He was even startled by the thought of himself, and he woke up from a brief coma and contemplation. Something should be done, if possible, immediately, and every precious life should not be wasted, because it would be too late to wait......

He thought about it over and over again, and thought for a long time about all possible ways out of danger, but to no avail. Discouragement, loneliness and despair, and helpless, he could only wait patiently for it to get dark.

Damn the village! - How many times did he say this to himself, it was this village that harmed him? God didn't have long eyes, but he ran into the Russian devil who was screaming wildly, so he shot at it, and he was shot in the back...... But there's always something there. That silence, that kind of concealment, is undoubtedly artificial, maintained by strict discipline; This cannot be done without the authority of a senior officer. And the flag...... There are all kinds of indications that there is a large headquarters there, even the military headquarters of the Russian army, and the small headquarters will not be in the big rear. If only I could hit it! …… But how to fight?

What is there to say, it was unlucky at the beginning, and the result was even worse. If it weren't for the fact that the injury actually destroyed his body, maybe he could have figured out something he could have done. You can set up an ambush and scratch your tongue...... But now how do you catch it? Now he himself may be caught as tongues, but there is not much benefit to be gained from him. Then again, as long as he is alive and he still has this thunder bomb, the Russians will not be able to catch him. It seems that all hope is now in this thunder bomb.

But after a while, no one came to alarm them, and they remained safely in this smoky, narrow, dark shelter at the edge of the village.

Now I see Shangwen standing between the two windows more often, occasionally saying a few words about what he sees through the gaps. But he is silent now, and it seems that there is no special situation over there.

"You can't be your general, why do you want to suffer in a place like Hokkaido?" Eisuke Minamino asked Naofumi immediately.

He is actually very clear about the deeds of this famous general of the past.

It's just that Eisuke Minamino never thought that he would meet Naobun Tachimi here.

Tachimi Naowen is the adopted son of the Kuwana feudal lord Ritsumi Naoshi, formerly known as Tachimi Kenzaburo, he served as the boy of the Kuwana feudal lord Matsudaira Dingjing, and since he was a child, he learned the spear technique of "Wind Transmission Flow" and the swordsmanship of "Yagyu New Yin Flow". Later, he studied at the Shoheiza School of the Domain School and Yushima. When Matsudaira was appointed as the director of the Kyoto office, he also followed him into Beijing and entered the 3rd Infantry Wing of the Shogunate Army to learn the French military system. After the outbreak of the Wushin Fall War, he helped Toshikata Suizo to defend Utsunomiya Castle and made war achievements, and later carried out guerrilla warfare as the captain of the "Thunder God Team", repeatedly breaking through the official army, especially the battle of Asahi Mountain, and won the head of Tokiyama Naohachi, the staff officer of the Odd Soldiers. He led the sword drawing team of the Kuwana clan to fight all the famous generals of the emperor's army from the Satsuma and Choshu feudal domains. But in the end, he was left alone and surrendered to the emperor with his army, in the shogunate army. He was the last to surrender to the Meiji government. (To be continued.) )
