Chapter 47 Past Life
Wei Hu is in front, and Wei Wu is one step behind.
Wei Hu didn't say anything, and Wei Wu couldn't ask more questions.
"Xiao Wu, on the way home, let me tell you a story!"
"good!"
Seventy or eighty years ago, after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, a big day came to a remote mountain village. Two anti-Japanese heroes were born in this village. These two heroes were still brothers. That day was the day when the two heroes returned to their hometown.
On that day, the whole village was decorated with lights and colorful, beating gongs and drums in preparation to welcome them. However, on that day, the two brothers began to embark on the road of becoming increasingly estranged and eventually turning against each other.
The villagers greeted the two heroes at the entrance of the village. However, when the two anti-Japanese heroes appeared at the entrance of the village, the gongs and drums stopped ringing, and the villagers' laughter disappeared.
The two brothers didn't understand why the villagers were like this. Then an old man standing among the villagers shouted: "Beast! I don't have a son like you, so get out of here!" After saying this, they walked back to the village in shame and anger.
At this time, another old man among the villagers stood up: "Second brother, come here!"
The younger brother of the two heroes heard the old man's cry, glanced at his older brother, and walked towards the villagers.
After his brother passed away, he still didn't know what happened.
But he could no longer think too much, because the villagers threw everything in their hands at his brother. Those who had nothing in their hands picked up the gravel on the ground and threw it at his brother.
The elder brother didn't understand why the villagers treated him like this. He didn't understand why the villagers who had cared for him since childhood hated him so much. Although he had a gun in his hand, he couldn't bear to hurt the villagers and could only keep retreating.
"Stop fighting! Stop fighting! If you want to fight, just hit me!"
An old woman ran out and protected her brother while shouting. This old woman was the mother of the two brothers. The younger brother also ran towards his brother and protected him.
"What are you doing? My brother is an anti-Japanese hero. How can you treat an anti-Japanese hero like this?" the younger brother shouted.
"Ah! Bah! What a bullshit anti-Japanese hero. How many of those wearing that skin are human?" a villager shouted.
"You two, get out of the way, we're going to beat that beast to death!" I don't know how much hatred there was, even the old woman didn't care about her brother, and started picking up stones to throw at him again.
How could a mother allow others to hurt her son like this and protect her son tightly, even if a stone hits his head and the blood bleeds?
"Bang bang bang!"
The brother fired three shots into the air, causing the villagers to retreat in fright.
"Don't shoot!"
"Mom, why do the folks hate me so much?"
"Mother will send you out of the village first!"
After leaving the village and hearing what my mother said, my brother understood the reason.
It turns out that what the villagers hate is not the elder brother, but the people who wear the same clothes as the elder brother. They think that the elder brother is the same as the group of people who wear the same clothes as the elder brother.
Two years ago, a group of big-headed soldiers came to the village. They claimed to be the troops fighting the Japanese ghost army. As soon as the villagers heard that they were the troops fighting the Japanese ghost army, they entertained them with delicious food and drinks. Unexpectedly, the big-headed soldiers came to see them after drinking too much.
They revolted, humiliated and brutally killed the three girls who brought them wine and food. Later, they were discovered by the villagers, and they shot more than ten villagers, and then Tao Zhiyaoyao died.
And among those three girls, one of them was the half-sister of the two brothers.
In fact, among the three brothers and sisters, only the younger sister is the biological father of the two brothers. Their father is actually the stepfather of the two brothers, and the mother was originally the stepfather's cousin. Only because the stepfather's cousin, the biological father of the two brothers, died of illness.
She died early, leaving her orphaned and widowed with no one to take care of her, so the folks in the village often helped them. Later, through the help of the village elders, her mother married her current stepfather.
Although the two brothers had a father again after their mother married their stepfather, their stepfather regarded them as his own children and loved them very much. They felt their father's love and regarded their stepfather as their biological father, and the whole family regarded their sister as their biological father.
Be pampered like the apple of your eye.
When the two brothers heard their mother's tearful cries, they felt like a thunderbolt from the blue. They returned to the village and still didn't know that their beloved sister had been brutally raped and was no longer alive. It was really heartbreaking!
Mother continued: "These damn big-headed soldiers are wearing the same clothes as you, and there is also a black sun on their big-brimmed hats. The leader is wearing exactly the same clothes as you."
According to what my mother said, my brother guessed that these big-headed soldiers might also be members of the Paper Tiger Army of the Dark Sun Party. He was immediately filled with hatred, annoyance, shame, anger and helplessness. In fact, these big-headed soldiers were a group of bandits recruited by the Paper Tiger Army.
Because he was afraid of death, he became a deserter and passed through the village. The nature of a bandit is like a dog that cannot change its habit of eating shit. It was only when he saw that the three sisters were handsome that they committed such evil deeds that were worse than animals.
The younger brother didn't have so many worries. After hearing this, he wanted to avenge his sister and the innocent villagers. However, according to his mother, they neither left their names nor knew where they went. How should they avenge this revenge? Who should they seek revenge from?
.The world is so big, the Paper Tiger Army is said to number five million, and it is not an ordinary difficulty for him to find it with his own efforts.
Brother: "Brother! We must avenge our sister and fellow villagers!" After saying that, he did not go back to the village. He carried his rifle and headed out of the village.
Brother: "Come back! Do you know what they look like? Where are they?"
Afterwards, their mother described the appearance of the paper tiger army, and the two brothers remembered what their mother said deeply in their hearts.
But there was no reason not to enter the house when he arrived at the door. The younger brother returned to the village, but the older brother did not. He did not explain anything to the villagers. He only said that he was different from the paper tiger army who were inferior to beasts, and he wanted to kill them.
He had the nerve to return to the village, so he returned directly to the army, hoping to use the power of the army to find the group of moths lurking inside the army.
The Japanese army surrendered, and the people thought they could live a good life. But who would have thought that the Japanese party tore up the cooperation treaty, refused to establish a coalition government with the Kuomintang, and launched an attack on the Kuomintang. The younger brother had no choice but to return to his unit and resist the Japanese army.
Japanese attack.
After two years of fighting between the two sides, the Kuomintang troops entered the counterattack stage. On this day, my brother led a small force to attack the county town where the village was located, and the soldiers defending the city were the same group who had insulted his sister.
The beast paper tiger army, my brother led the troops to attack the county town regardless of life and death. Just when they were about to capture the county town, reinforcements arrived to reinforce the county town, and the leader of the reinforcements was my brother.
Finally, the younger brother was captured alive by the defenders. The younger brother recognized that the commander of the defenders was the beast Paper Tiger Army. The younger brother was tortured and asked to reveal the location of the base. The younger brother vowed to die unyielding, so the Paper Tiger Army could only temporarily take his younger brother into custody.
When the elder brother saw the commander of the garrison, he also recognized the beastly paper tiger army. At the same time, he also knew that the commander of the Kuomintang army that attacked the county town was his younger brother. The younger brother was imprisoned in a cell in the county town. He went to the cell to see his brother.
, after retreating, the two brothers recognized each other. The younger brother asked the older brother to kill the city guard chief and lead the troops to revolt. The older brother hesitated repeatedly and refused to betray the Dark Sun Party, but he could not watch his younger brother being killed with his own eyes, so he could only secretly
My brother was let go.
Later, it was revealed that the elder brother had secretly released his younger brother, and the person who reported the matter was the commander of the city defense force.
The special commissioner of the Dark Sun Party came to the county to investigate the matter. The younger brother finally admitted that he had released his brother privately, but he did not admit that he had betrayed the Dark Sun Party and was only seeking personal favors.
Seeing what his brother said, the special commissioner wanted to send his brother to a military court. However, under the circumstances, his brother had troops in his hands. The special commissioner was afraid that arresting the commander of the troops would cause a mutiny in the troops, so he asked his brother to lead the troops to attack the area where the People's Army was located.
village, and this village is the hometown of the two brothers.
After the younger brother was released by his elder brother, he returned to the village overnight. He knew that the troops might have been exposed. In order to preserve the effective strength of the troops, he immediately organized the transfer of troops after returning to the village. However, the troops had not been completely transferred, and more than 20 people were still besieged in the village.
, the younger brother could only lead these twenty people to hide in the tunnel.
The paper tiger army besieged the village, but failed to find the Kuomintang troops. The commissioner became angry and asked the county defenders to gather the villagers in the village square and force the villagers to hand over the Kuomintang troops. The villagers refused to comply and did not recognize the people.
Several beastly villagers were even more indignant and wanted to fight the beasts. They also called their brother ungrateful for leading troops to besiege the village in order to gain promotion and wealth. The unarmed villagers were directly shot dead by the beasts.
The special commissioner asked the paper tiger army to tell the villagers that if they did not hand over the Kuomintang troops, they would kill a villager in two minutes.
My brother gritted his teeth angrily when he saw what the special commissioner had done. He tried to stop him once, but was pushed back by the special commissioner's words, and asked him to kill a villager in two minutes in order to prove that he had no connections with the Kuomintang.
Refusing to execute the plan on the grounds that he would not shoot unarmed people, the commissioner clamored that his brother would be sent to a military court when the matter was over, but he was helpless at his refusal.
The villagers regarded death as if they were dead, but the younger brother could not stand it anymore. If the Kuomintang troops could not be found, the paper tiger army would even massacre the village. In order to save the villagers, in order to prevent innocent villagers from being killed, and for the sake of the remaining twenty or so Kuomintang troops
The younger brother walked out of the tunnel resolutely without hesitation. His parents who were hiding in the tunnel with him tried to stop him, but failed.
In the end, the younger brother who came out was arrested again. The younger brother still said nothing. When the Dark Sun Party retreated a year later, he was brutally killed.
The elder brother also tried to save his younger brother again this time, but failed this time.
A year later, the Kuomintang troops defeated the Dark Sun Party and established the people's power.
The elder brother saw that the Dark Sun Party had completely failed, and then saw his younger brother being killed with his own eyes, and his heart completely collapsed.
At the last moment, he pulled out his gun and killed the paper tiger army who was trying to escape by plane, thus avenging his sister.
But his heart is still full of guilt, and he doesn't know where he will go in the future if he retreats with the Dark Sun Party. He knows that the People's Party can lead the people to live a good life, and he knows that his brother's choice is the right path, but he chose the wrong one.
.
Although he woke up at the last moment, he was unwilling to surrender. It was not that he did not want to, but that he did not dare to accept the people's trial.
But he was unwilling to retreat with the Dark Sun Party. Even if he could successfully escape, he didn't know how to live the rest of his life under the endless torture in his heart.
Finally, he pulled out the pistol and pointed it at his head, thinking, maybe this is the best ending! The second before he pulled the trigger, time seemed to have stopped, and he seemed to see an old man.
As he walked towards him, he was still saying, "You thought you died like this, can you be worthy of your sister? Can you be worthy of the villagers who died because of you? Can you be worthy of your brother? You owe me
Don’t you have to pay back your debt? Can you really settle it once and for all if you die?
Then the faces of his younger brothers, sisters and those villagers who died tragically floated in front of him. He shouted: Who are you? Stop talking!
