I want to be a good person

Five or six people stood up from the ditches on both sides, covered with weeds.

Four people also stood up behind him and disguised themselves in the same way.

"What a talent! This is how the disguise came about."

Looking at the enemy's weapons, two homemade guns, and the rest were swords, sticks and javelins, the crowd began to surround them.

When shooting a thief, shoot the horse first; when capturing a thief, capture the leader first.

Without further ado, he took out his pistol and shot at the hot weapons that posed the greatest threat to him.

“Snap, snap”

As soon as they saw the other party took out a gun, the people who were using cold weapons ran away.

Zhang Aiguo was too lazy to pay attention to them. Maybe they would become the main force in fighting the Japanese in the future. It would be difficult to survive if they scatter like birds and beasts.

I checked the two men's homemade guns. There was no gunpowder at all, which was scary. There was a hemp rope tied around their waists, which looked very worn out.

The two men were thrown into the ditch. The bodies in the space, the boss and another bandit were stripped naked and thrown in together, and they began to backfill the space with a shovel.

Zhao Xinyu watched Zhang Aiguo's operation and did not feel afraid. Instead, she felt a little excited. However, she was troubled by the fact that a woman had limited strength and did not have a gun in her hand.

In the years of famine, all the kind people were buried in the ground, and some were eaten by the stomach. If a person is not cruel, he cannot survive.

He jumped off the donkey cart and wanted to help.

"No, I'll do it myself. You take a rest and don't sweat. It's easy to catch a cold."

The efforts now are for better rewards at night, and perhaps we will double our efforts.

"Um"

Zhao Xinyu returned to the car.

Zhang Aiguo felt that Zhao Xinyu was much gentler at this moment.

I got back on the donkey cart, and the episode ended.

"Are you hungry?"

“I’m not hungry, I just ate a bun.”

"Oh, I'll go wash my hands."

We passed a frozen river and used a pickaxe to break the ice.

The water was very cold, so I scooped up some water to wash my hands. After more than ten days of treatment, the chilblains on my hands, feet and ears have improved a lot.

After returning to the car, he took out a bun and handed it over.

"Eat, and"

Ordinary people in the Republic of China only needed to eat until they were not hungry. They would never eat enough. Their stomachs would gradually shrink, so they could survive with very little food. If they were full every day, they would actually become less resistant to hunger.

Zhang Aiguo's appetite has been opened, his body is making up for the deficit, and he feels that he can still grow a little taller. Of course, if he has a choice, he hopes to take more care of his little brother. As a man, he will understand.

"Give"

Zhao Xinyu took the gourd and took a sip. It tasted spicy, so she swallowed it.

"liquor"

"Qinghe Laobai Gan is a famous liquor. Drink a few sips to warm your body."

Zhao Xinyu took two more sips and felt much warmer, so she handed it back.

Zhang Aiguo took it and drank a few sips.

In fact, women can drink more than men. They are born with a capacity of 200 grams of wine. Many men cannot drink as much as women.

After crossing the stream you will reach Junying Village.

After noon, everyone likes to bask in the sun, especially the elderly. In winter, they just chat and talk nonsense.

Seeing the donkey cart jingling into the village, everyone pointed at Zhao Xinyu, who was sitting very close to the man's cart.

Zhang Aiguo obviously didn't care. He turned his head and looked at Zhao Xinyu, who obviously didn't take it to heart either. There was great terror between life and death, and there was no propriety, righteousness, or integrity on the road of fleeing famine. Being alive was a great fortune, so why would he care about these things?

We arrived at the three adobe houses at the entrance of the village. The low earthen walls were covered with some thorns.

The sound of the donkey cart did not alarm anyone and no one came out.

“Something’s wrong”

"You wait outside and tie up the donkey. I'll go in and take a look."

Zhang Aiguo took out his gun, tiptoed to the door, and pushed it gently with his hand. The door opened and was half-closed.

The room was dark, the windows were small and covered with rough paper; the glass was only for the rich.

As the light came in, Zhang Aiguo's eyes adjusted.

A square table, a few stools, and a few broken bowls thrown on it.

I looked at the side and saw that the door was a hole specially left on the mud wall. I lifted the curtain, lowered my head and entered the side room. I shone the Fearless flashlight around and saw an old lady with her eyes wide open, staring at the door. She was slumped on the ground, leaning against the edge of the kang. When she saw the kerosene lamp, she took out a match and lit it. The dim light was as small as a bean.

The body had livor mortis, which meant it wasn't just dead.

I exited and came to another wing room. The room was empty, with no sign of the child.

The room was in a mess, obviously having been ransacked, and all the valuables were gone.

Things are not that good, this is the normal world.

He turned and walked out of the room with a solemn look on his face.

When Zhao Xinyu saw the expression on his face, she knew something was wrong. His face turned pale and his eyes turned red.

"them?"

"My condolences"

"My baby"

"The child is missing and the old woman is dead"

Tao Tao started crying loudly, and Zhang Aiguo was not very happy either. As a result, he lost his mood. Who knows how long it would take for him to get over it after Tao Tao calmed down.

The crying alarmed the surrounding neighbors, and everyone rushed into the yard. The brave ones went into the house to check, took a quick look and quickly left.

Everyone had a tacit understanding. Zhang Aiguo felt that everyone knew what had happened and was just pretending to be confused.

No one called for the government to take action. It was the default practice that the entire family would be wiped out. If the people did not report it, the government would not investigate. Even if they did report it, they would have to pay more. Gradually, it became a habit.

"My dear young and old men, aunties and grandmas, I am a friend of the eldest brother of the Li family. We served in the army together. I met the eldest sister-in-law on the way and sent her back. I didn't expect that something happened at home and there was no one to take care of her. We are all fellow villagers and neighbors. I hope you can lend a hand and help send the old lady away first. As for the ins and outs of the matter, I implore those who know to tell me in private. We are all heartbroken when the child is missing. We are all made of flesh and blood. I will pay a lot of money as funeral expenses and reward for information."

Zhang Aiguo stretched out his hand and bowed to all four directions: "Please, young and old, please take care of our family. Thank you."

"How much money can you offer?"

A young man shouted.

"How much do you want?"

Zhang Aiguo gave him a look full of unkindness.

"I"

"I think we should ask a respected elder to preside over the event, so as not to disappoint our fellow tribesmen."

"I come"

A man in his 50s stood up.

"Well, his uncle was right to stand up"

"Yes, the family should come forward."

"Yeah, if our own people don't come out, how can we wait for others?"

“It seems like he died suddenly.”

“Yes, I feel resentful.”

“Neither of them is good”

……

Zhang Aiguo listened to the discussions below and knew that what he had done was enough, and the rest was fate.

He took out two dollars and handed it over.

"Excuse me, is two dollars enough?"

"Enough, more than enough"

"If you can't use it all, give the rest to Sister-in-law Li."

“Okay, I understand.”

"Boss, what's your name?"

"No need to worry about your surname being Ma"

"Mr. Ma, let's start preparing now."

"Well, I'm leaving first. Outsiders can't get involved in this."

"This"

"Don't worry, get the job done. Otherwise, it will be hard. If anyone wants to bully others, bullets don't recognize people, so just be fertilizer for the flowers."

Zhang Aiguo waved the gun in his hand and threatened, saying that you don’t need to bet to know what these people are like.

"Sister-in-law, I'm leaving first. Come back to me when you've made up your mind."
