Chapter 055: Keeping the "Roots" of Big Willow Village
Xi Menglan touched her face and looked at Kou Juncheng and raised her eyebrows: "Did I laugh?" ”
"Look at the corners of your mouth, it's almost to the root of your ears, and you still say that you don't laugh, what are you happy about, share it with everyone."
Xu was thinking about what was in his heart just now, and couldn't help laughing that he didn't pay attention, seeing Kou Juncheng joking with him, Xi Menglan raised her eyebrows, pretending to be angry and turned her face, so she could be regarded as hiding from this.
It is too early to say this, and there will be an opportunity to tell you later.
Looking at Lao Mengtou and Kou Juncheng, Xi Menglan thought in her heart, her mood was suddenly much happier, she had covered her head for several days, and now she finally had a way.
When she got home, Xi Menglan didn't mention anything about Yinggou Dasha, but Kou Juncheng and Lao Mengtou started chatting about the two of them, and Xi Menglan just listened carefully and didn't interject.
Lao Mengtou drank a little drunk, pinched the wine glass, sighed long, looked at him with a misty look in his eyes, looked at a square place and did not move, with his understanding, Xi Menglan knew that he was about to start telling stories, so he simply sat next to him and listened to it.
Sure enough, within a minute, Lao Mengtou looked at Kou Juncheng and said that he wanted to tell him about the past, Kou Juncheng also wanted to know, and nodded along with Lao Mengtou's words.
It was September of the 19th year, and he remembered clearly that in the second year of Japan's surrender, although the little Japanese devils went back, the domestic war did not stop all at once, and there was a struggle with the Kuomintang.
Dasha was a forest ranger in 1936, and the conditions offered by the Nationalist Government at that time were to go home five times a year, but at that time, the little devil came in, and he looked at the rain of bullets outside, so he simply hid in the eagle ditch, and never came out once in ten years.
Suddenly, one day, a guerrilla army came and was stationed in Daliushu Village, which gave the villagers a little opportunity to breathe.
But the good times didn't last long, the guerrilla leader received an order to support other teams, the situation was urgent, and he didn't make it clear that he took people to evacuate overnight to support, and he didn't know who was revealing the news or because he was staring at it, and on the night of their withdrawal, a group of Japanese devils came, burning, killing and looting the village, and carried out a massacre, and that massacre, there were more than a dozen people left in the village, and one of them was Lao Mengtou.
When he said this, Lao Mengtou choked up, the corners of his eyes were moist, he raised his hand to drink the wine in the glass, the wine glass was heavily placed on the table, looking at the hatred in his eyes, Xi Menglan understood why he reacted so excitedly.
After a pause, he continued.
The dozen or so people who survived did not dare to stay in the village, so they simply sat together and discussed where to flee to hide, and then some people thought of Dasha, and a few people pondered that Yinggou was a good place to go, and they packed up their things one by one, and they were ready to touch into Yinggou after dark.
To say that people are unlucky, drink cold water and stuff their teeth, a few people did not wait until dark to go to Yinggou, just waited for the Japanese devils to sweep for the second time, fortunately, they did not enter the village to slaughter this time, but went straight to Yinggou, in Yinggou this stay is three days, as if looking for something, but in the end there is nothing, angry, set fire to Yinggou.
The mountain fire burned for two days and two nights, and if there was not a storm, it is estimated that there would be nothing left in the entire Yinggou, and all of them would have to be burned completely.
A few people gathered around again, thinking that Yinggou was not a safe place to go, so they wanted to find another place, but at this time, Dasha came back, which shocked everyone.
The mountain fire was violent, everyone thought that Dasha couldn't get out, and when he stood in front of everyone alive, no one was not surprised, and some people still checked whether it was a person or a ghost.
Just when a few people had nowhere to go, he appeared like this, it was like a savior, and they looked at each other, and the old Mengtou said to Dasha that he wanted to follow him to Yinggou to hide.
Dasha didn't speak at that time, he took out his gun and banged it, and fired five shots in a row, and five of them fell in a pool of blood, their eyes widened, which scared Lao Mengtou and the rest of the people a lot.
Dasha told them that these five people were traitors who turned against the water, and that the clothes they were wearing were proof of this, and as he spoke, he ripped off their coats, and the lining inside was sewn with the Japanese flag, and everyone was amazed.
Dasha also said that the guerrillas who came to the village were not guerrillas at all, but also elites selected by the Japanese, and they were stationed in the village disguised as guerrillas to find out the news of Yinggou, which was the road led by these five people at that time.
When Dasha said yes, everyone was dumbfounded, and everyone opened their mouths, but no one knew what to say.
The five men took the fake guerrillas into Yinggou and wanted to find out the location of Dasha, just to find the artillery shells hidden by the Nationalist Government in Yinggou.
Dasha didn't elaborate on other things, he gave everyone a black cloth strip, saying that when they got to the place, they should blindfold their eyes, and there were things they didn't know that was best for them.
Lao Mengtou knew what Dasha meant, so he happily agreed, what he wanted to do at that time was just to live, as for other things, he was not interested in anything at all, and he didn't want to know.
Several people were covered with black cloths and dragged the same wooden stick, and they were taken to his residence by Dasha, which was a three-room wooden house, not simple, and had all the furniture in it, even if it was not available in the village.
The five of them looked around, and they were full of praise for the wooden house, and they didn't know where the forbidden place was, so they simply didn't go back and forth, and just stayed in the wooden house.
Dasha saw that several people were also honest, and after a few words, he divided the place to live and prepared a table of meals to entertain them.
When eating, I learned the reason why Dasha went back to the village to save them, he said, everyone is a village, I really can't bear to see the people in the village die, the village is gone, risking their lives, brought them here, just to save the roots of Daliushu Village, as long as people are alive, Daliushu Village has always been there.
The people who said these words had moist eyes, their hearts were sad, they couldn't swallow the food in their mouths, and they didn't know what to say to express their gratitude and respect in their hearts.
