"I don't want it." Chu Hanxing wanted to give it back to him, but he took it back and put it into his jacket pocket.

The captain smiled and touched her head: "Here you go, take it!"

Chu Hanxing silently walked to a big tree in the yard, took a small horse and sat there. Yuanyuan and the others would come here to play after eating because it was lively.

And the people they admire.

After eating, the seventeen people first repaired the leaking part of the roof of the village chief's house, filled the water tank with water from the well, and then divided into two teams, repairing tables, chairs and benches from house to house, cleaning the pig pen, no matter what.

No matter how dirty or tired you are, just do the work you see.

Yuanyuan and the others have water bags hanging on their bodies. If someone is thirsty but drinks all the water, they will rush to hand out their water bags. They will smile and thank them, then chat for a while and continue working.

At this time, Yuanyuan and the others will be particularly happy, just as happy as eating candies during the Chinese New Year.

Goudan was especially excited: "I said I would be a big hero in the future, but my mother said I was a bear, but I didn't listen! That big brother just praised me as a little hero!"

"Yuanyuan, girl, tell me no!"

Yuanyuan was very happy and said loudly: "If you help the big hero, we will all be little heroes!"

These words caused those people to turn their heads and laugh out loud. The captain shook his head helplessly: "You guys..."

He raised his head and looked at the distant mountains, "It is better not to be a hero, but to be a scholar."

"Why?" Goudan didn't understand, "What's so good about studying, but I can't fight with you."

"Why not? If you study more, you can build rockets, cannons, and things that are a hundred times more advanced than them! When the time comes, I'll see who the hell dares to bully us!"

"If they still dare to be shameless, we will use cannons to blast them back!"

Goudan's blood boiled: "Yes! Blast it back! I want to study! I want to build a cannon!"

The captain smiled and patted his head. He was about to say something else, but the bell in the village rang.

Everyone's expressions changed.

"They're coming!"

The captain drew his gun from his waist: "How many people are there?"

"A whole army, two hundred people!" The person who informed him turned pale.

The village chief rushed over: "You guys leave quickly! He won't do anything to us!"

"Quick, everyone hide and go into the cellar!"

The captain, who was well aware of their virtues, shook his head: "It's useless."

"Captain, let's go up and fight them!"

The captain gritted his teeth: "Village chief, let the women and children hide in the cellar, and follow me to ambush the rest!"

After the village chief made the announcement, there were no screams or angry roars, not even an extra word. Everyone went to their respective places.

Chu Hanxing was picked up by the captain, holding Yuanyuan with his other hand, carrying Goudan behind his back.

He ran quickly: "Don't be afraid, I will take you to hide!"

Chu Hanxing was stuffed into a dark place, surrounded by women and children from the village. They did not spread out and hide, but hid in a cellar, because this cellar had two floors and was the most secluded place in the village.

The captain was about to cover it with wooden boards. Chu Hanxing stood up quickly, grabbed his clothes, and said calmly: "I'm with you."

He was stunned for a moment. Chu Hanxing's face was full of seriousness, and his tense muscles slowly relaxed.

The captain smiled and rubbed her head: "This is an adult matter. You are still young. You need to eat more, grow stronger, and study hard."

There was a bang of a gunshot, and he said no more, pressed Chu Hanxing's head down, covered it with a wooden board, and covered it with linen cloth, then got out and restored the floor to its original state.

The gunshots rang out one after another and never stopped.

Chu Hanxing still looked up at him, and Yuanyuan suddenly hugged her: "Girl, don't be afraid."

In order to relieve the tension, Goudan talked about other things.

"Girl, do you want to study?"

"I want to finish reading the book and build the best gun for the captain to use!"

"I hate them standing on our land!"

"After we win, I will go to the mountains to pick the most beautiful flowers and make them into garlands."

"Girl, you think...will we win?"

Yuanyuan bit her lip, tears shining in her eyes.

Chu Hanxing wiped away her tears with the back of her hand and said seriously: "Yes, we will win."

"Really?" Goudan wiped his face and asked in a low voice, "Then, what kind of life will people in the future have after we win?"

Chu Hanxing turned to look at him, "We can eat white rice and white-flour steamed buns every day. Everyone can study, have sweets to eat, and have new clothes to wear. No one dares to bully us anymore."

The people in the cellar listened to them quietly, and at the most depressive moment, they would go crazy if they were stopped from talking.

Listening to Chu Hanxing's words, they were full of longing for the future.

"When life gets better, will everyone forget the suffering we suffered in the future? Will they forgive them?" Goudan asked.

Yuanyuan’s voice became even more subdued: “Just like what adults often say, ‘let the past go’.”

I don't know if it was because the cellar was too closed, but Chu Hanxing felt a little depressed.

She gritted her teeth: "No!"

It's impossible to pass.

"Shh! Stop talking! Someone is coming!"

The gunfire stopped, followed by the sound of slightly messy footsteps.

Chu Hanxing heard the floor above the cellar being opened, and the seventeen people got in and covered the floor again.

"Captain, what's going on outside?"

The captain said: "It's okay, don't make any sound, we are here, don't be afraid!" "Yes, don't talk, no matter what you hear, don't make a sound!"

Through the gap between the wooden boards, Chu Hanxing saw them lying down in rows to ensure that they would not be exposed underneath. The wooden board covering their exit was covered with their arms. When they left, pushing the board away would not be so

Hard work.

The woman below did the same and hid the child behind her back.

Then they heard uniform steps and the sound of military boots hitting the ground.

Someone said something in Japanese, and they divided into small teams and kicked open the door of each house. Then there was the sound of bottles and cans falling to the ground.

There were also chickens, ducks, geese and other livestock that only squawked once and then became silent.

Fortunately all the women gathered in the cellar.

Finally, the door where they were was kicked open.

Those people kicked here and there, smashed whatever they saw, and searched everywhere, under the bed and in the closet.

cellar.

They inserted the bayonet into the gap in the floor, but heard no sound. When they took out the knife, they saw the blood on the tip, raised their heads and laughed.

Once they discover the fun, they start enjoying it.

First, slowly insert the bayonet and hear the sound of flesh and blood being broken, and then stir it clockwise and counterclockwise.

Knowing that they were hiding it, those people smiled even more happily.

Laughing mockingly and proudly.

They protected the people in the cellar, but they did not escape.

Because the village was set on fire, the fire burned half the sky red.
