Chapter 115: The Cruel Reality (1)
There was food, military uniforms, weapons and ammunition, the anxiety in Lu Yuan's heart immediately dissipated without a trace, and before a cigarette was finished, Lu Yuan took out a pistol and shot two shots to kill the two Japanese soldiers who were about to leave. "Quick, go to that alley over there, when we encircled and infiltrated the Japanese army in the city before, we buried a lot of weapons and ammunition here." When Xie Jinbiao and the others, who saw their gestures, rushed to his side, Lu Yuan smiled at each other in a low voice.
The two Japanese corpses shot by Lu Yuan were quickly dragged away and hidden, and the prisoners of war quickly poured into the alley silently, digging two cellars according to Lu Yuan's prompts, just as Lu Yuan said, the cellars were full of military uniforms, food, weapons and ammunition, but many weapons still had the smell of blood and fireworks. Lu Yuan did not enter the courtyard, but only took Xie Jinbiao to guard the two ends of the alley, so as not to suddenly appear at this time Japanese troops and bring trouble to the prisoners of war who were changing their clothes.
"You'd better come and see, we don't know what to do." Lu Yuan had just searched his surroundings with a full-view map, but Xie Jinbiao, who was supposed to be guarding the other end of the alley, strode over, and when he spoke, he was a little stumbling, and his eyes couldn't stop wandering, and he didn't dare to look at Lu Yuan. Following Xie Jinbiao, Lu Yuan walked into a small courtyard at the entrance of the alley, and then walked into the innermost part of the main house, and then saw a baby lying helplessly on the ground and twitching slightly, a small, dirty, fragile, and almost silent baby.
Lu Yuan's pace couldn't help but slow down, like Xie Jinbiao and them, Lu Yuan couldn't get any closer, because he couldn't get any closer. Lu Yuan's hands holding the rifle slowly put down, Mu Ran's eyes had a trace of doubt in them, and he looked at the baby on the ground in a daze, the little life that was about to die, which made Lu Yuan a little overwhelmed for a while. Lu Yuan stood like this, standing quietly and dumbly, his narrow eyes were not shocked, his scarred face was indifferent and detached, but it faintly revealed a trace of panic and helplessness. Xie Jinbiao also walked over at this time, looking at the baby on the ground who had stopped twitching, his eyes couldn't help but reddened slightly, but he just stood in place, as if an abyss boundary had been drawn under Lu Yuan's feet, which could not be crossed.
Following Lu Yuan's line of sight, Xie Jinbiao slowly raised his head, and then saw the big hole on the roof, and the cold wind was pouring in wantonly along the big hole, making people shiver. "The Japanese have fired mortars here." The corners of Lu Yuan's mouth couldn't help but show a mocking smile. Ironic, isn't it? In the midst of war, the death of soldiers is bloody, but what is even more terrifying is that those innocent civilians are also lost with the wind, and no one cares at all.
"It doesn't matter, he's dead anyway..."Lu Yuan continued to say calmly, his expressionless face seemed to be able to clearly see the process of life fading little by little, the shattered pain flickered in his eyes, and an indescribable sadness and despair spread between his lips and teeth. Lu Yuan's expression and reaction at this moment made Xie Jinbiao secretly push back a little, it turned out that indifference is also colorful.
Someone walked in behind him, Xie Jinbiao turned his head to look, it was the lieutenant officer surnamed Sun, looking at Lu Yuan and Xie Jinbiao who were stunned in place, the lieutenant officer surnamed Sun couldn't help but be a little angry, "What are you two doing in a daze!" He stepped forward and carefully took the lifeless baby on the ground into his arms. Lu Yuan himself didn't realize that when the lieutenant officer surnamed Sun leaned over to pick up the baby, he took a step back. He took a step back, and a trace of fear appeared on Lu Yuan's indifferent face, as if the vigorous life would swallow up all the courage and firmness in him, and then once again exposed his softness and vulnerability.
The baby on the ground was carried away with it, but no one didn't notice Lu Yuan's abnormality at the moment, Xie Jinbiao, who came back to his senses, confirmed that everyone else in the room was dead, and then turned around and left, leaving Lu Yuan alone, still stunned to look at the baby's mother - a woman lying on the ground with her chest and breasts exposed, a cold woman without any temperature lying on her back in a corner of the room, as if she was still nursing her child one second, and the next second she was already separated by yin and yang.
Lu Yuan's eyes couldn't take his eyes off the corpse lying in a pool of blood at all, and he watched motionlessly, silently, and just like that. Then, Lu Yuan turned around and left, and his calm mood was just a little ripple, and then he returned to calm again. Lu Yuan left the innermost room, and was about to go out, but he heard a movement, and the hairs on his body stood up, and he subconsciously clenched the rifle in his hand, and the survival instinct made the bloody breath begin to permeate again, and there was an intermittent choking sound behind the "Japanese ......".
Lu Yuan raised his rifle, turned around and approached cautiously, and then saw a young woman lying under the table, her mouth wide open and trying to breathe, her eyes like a pool of stagnant water. When the woman saw Lu Yuan, her beautiful eyes turned slightly, but there was still no light, but she tried her best to say again, "Japanese ......" Then she raised her right hand and pointed to the corpses in the room, as if to say: The Japanese killed all her family.
However, she had no strength, so she could only tilt her head for a long time, she just looked at Lu Yuan blankly, her eyes showed a trace of longing, begging for something, but Lu Yuan was still indifferent. Lu Yuan, who kept a movement and froze in place, just watched quietly. He didn't enjoy it but he didn't suffer either, and there was only a calm on his face. But Lu Yuan's hands were already bruised, and that kind of hunter-like vigilance broke out in an instant, and he could even clearly feel the tightness of his muscles, maybe with just a slight movement, Lu Yuan's whole person could run out wildly and easily harvest the enemy's life.
Perhaps because of seeing Lu Yuan's actions, the woman nodded slightly, and then reached out and lifted her shirt, revealing her torn belly, and bloody intestines and internal organs flowed all over the ground. A hot tear slid down the woman's cheeks, she was begging Lu Yuan to end her life, she was begging Lu Yuan to end her pain.
Lu Yuan was still standing in place, his emotions were not shocked, and even his movements began to slow down, and he looked at the woman condescendingly. The woman stretched out her right hand with all her might, trying to grab the barrel of the rifle in Lu Yuan's hand, but Lu Yuan was still indifferent. Death was too sparse and ordinary for him, like his companion. Finally, Lu Yuan finally took a step, just two small steps, and then stood beside the woman.
The woman grabbed the barrel of Lu Yuan's hanging gun, then aimed at her eyebrows, and closed her eyes in relief, the intention could not be clearer. Lu Yuan put his finger on the trigger, this was the action he was most familiar with, it had evolved into his instinct, and he himself couldn't count how many people he had killed, how many of them were Japanese and how many were Japanese soldiers. Lu Yuan's fingers subconsciously shrunk, and with just a little force, he could end this woman's pain, and for him, it was just a simple small action in daily life, not much different from eating and drinking, but he hesitated.
Seeing that woman breathe a sigh of relief as if she gave up, it seemed that the pain in her body had dissipated like a tide, but Lu Yuan's mind had the appearance of the baby just now. As soon as he thought of this, Lu Yuan's deep eyes were filled with shallow struggle, which made him miserable, Lu Yuan closed his eyes in a panic, hiding his true emotions, and then lowered his right hand, he still couldn't pull the trigger after all.
What the hell is he fighting for? What the hell is he holding on for? Kill for what? And for what is it trying to survive? Where the hell are the gods now? Aren't gods supposed to save the world? Do you love the world? So why is this woman lying here? So why is that baby lying here? Why do their fragile lives fade away, and why do so many innocent people die? How did the gods choose? Why did those people die? Why? Why, exactly?
The woman noticed that the gun was hanging down, opened her eyes again, and then saw Lu Yuan's deep eyes and the painful struggle under his eyes. The woman put down her right hand in disappointment, looking at Lu Yuan sadly and desperately, and after a few seconds, the woman saw that Lu Yuan's indifferent face like an iceberg slowly softened, and a warm light flickered slightly with pain and suffering. Lu Yuan exhaled lightly, bent down and threw the rifle hanging on the gun belt behind him, then squatted down, gently hugged the woman in his arms, and then slowly hugged her head into his chest, the warm breath made the woman show a comfortable expression, and it seemed that the pain was relieved a lot in an instant.
Lu Yuan hugged the woman into his arms, and then looked down at the blood-stained woman, the bitterness danced gently on the tip of his tongue, causing a pain to rise in Lu Yuan's heart. Lu Yuan raised his right hand and gently stroked the woman's jaw with his thumb, as if he was taking care of his lover, focused and serious, and the stiff facial lines slowly melted away.
I don't know when, Xie Jinbiao, who had already left, appeared behind Lu Yuan, and beside him, there were more than a dozen prisoners of war of the national army, but none of them made any noise to disturb Lu Yuan. Xie Jinbiao and the others quietly looked at Lu Yuan, who was close at hand, everything Lu Yuan did just now was all seen by them, at this moment, Xie Jinbiao and the others couldn't help but secretly hold their breath, for fear that they would destroy the tranquility in front of them because of themselves.
