More than a dozen grown men, with guns on their backs and cannon barrels in their hands, gritted their teeth and ran to the entrance of the village before they fainted.

The people patrolling in the village found us and shouted for help.

Zheng Yiren heard the shouting outside and ran out, and saw the guerrillas taking guns one after another from the people who had returned.

Finally, they were carried to the medical room, but when it was almost dawn, more than a dozen of them started to have high fevers and talk nonsense.

All He Zheng's mind was filled with the woman's head flying around his body and the weird smile on her face. His body was shaking with fear.

Zheng Yiren changed his handkerchief and saw that his face was getting hotter and hotter. She asked anxiously, "Uncle Lin, is there no other way to reduce the fever?"

Bu Qingsheng looked at these dozen people who had fever at the same time and asked curiously, "What did they do? Or where did they go?"

Zheng Yiren told them everything she knew. Uncle Lin and Bu Qingsheng looked at each other and asked, "Are you saying that you came back to call for help because you saw the Japanese soldiers running away in fear?"

Zheng Yiren nodded and said, "Brother Zheng and I waited until daybreak to check the village. There was nothing inside, not even a single person. We thought the Japanese were so afraid of things, so we didn't go in to check further. Brother Zheng said he would come back to alert Captain Feng that there were Japanese troops nearby."

Uncle Lin finally understood why they had gathered together last night. "Did they go in and see, and were they all scared?"

The old man at the door suddenly said, "How about we try to call back the soul?"

"Uncle, don't be so superstitious. There are no ghosts. If ghosts really exist, why don't those who were killed by the Japanese turn into ghosts to seek revenge?" a young man retorted.

The old man shook his head and went back to work without saying anything.

Captain Feng didn't wake up until the evening. Looking at his brothers lying in the bed, he knew that everyone had reached home safely.

"Lao Bu, Uncle Lin! You must arrange for the people in the village not to go to Luojiazhai. That place has been occupied by the Japanese, and I see that they have quite a number of people, so everyone should be vigilant at all times!" Captain Feng reminded them.

Bu Qingsheng asked him seriously, "What happened there? What happened to you?"

Captain Feng looked at his comrade who was still unconscious and said guiltily, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have coveted those weapons. Otherwise, everyone wouldn't have been so scared."

"What kind of scene could make these people who have been to the battlefield so scared? Feng Guotai, you must explain it clearly!" Bu Qingsheng asked seriously.

"Old Bu! Do you believe that there are ghosts in this world?" Captain Feng said with his eyes closed. His body was still shaking when he thought of what he saw last night.

When Bu Qingsheng was about to severely criticize him for being superstitious, Captain Feng said in a trembling voice, "If I was the only one who saw it, it might be nonsense, but with more than a dozen of us and the hundreds of devils, how could we all be dazzled?"

Bu Qingsheng was shocked by his words. It was impossible for so many people to be dazzled. He hesitated and said, "Is it true?"

Captain Feng nodded and said, "I will never say that there are no such things in the world. They are too scary! Did you see with your own eyes a woman in red taking off her head and holding it in her hand and laughing?"

Bu Qingsheng and Uncle Lin felt a chill down their spines when they heard him say this, not to mention seeing it.

"Let's end this matter here. Let's quickly prepare to deal with the Japanese invaders! There are quite a lot of them!" Captain Feng reminded.

"Old Feng, we can't let what happened in Jiangjiabao happen again!" Bu Qingsheng sighed when he thought of the village where a river of blood flowed.

"There are still two survivors in their village. They are the two children we brought back!" He Zheng had also woken up at this time.

"You said those two children are from that village?" Bu Qingsheng asked in surprise.

"Yes, I was wondering why there was a grave in a yard. I only saw a small footprint and thought the child was still alive. I didn't expect that they actually escaped alive! Where are they?" Bu Qingsheng asked He Zheng.

He Zheng sat up and said nothing. Captain Feng, filled with shame, told him everything that had happened in the past few days.

"Xiao He! The hemostatic medicine we use was left by that child, right?" Uncle Lin remembered that one of his good friends was from that village. His medical skills were superb. He wondered if he was still alive?

He Zheng nodded. "I promised her that I would help her find her brother! Now I don't know where she went."

Jiang Jiyun, who was being talked about by them, was looking at the city gate in the distance with a numb expression.

"How come I came back after taking such a long detour?"

She sighed and decided to go back home! She had nowhere to go as a little girl, and she would wait to find her brother! She was afraid she would not be able to find the way!

She followed the route she remembered and finally returned to the devastated village before dark.

After walking into the village and looking around, she saw a number of new graves in the direction of the back mountain.

Jiang Jiyun thought about it and decided to take the baby out and go to the new grave to kowtow to the villagers.

"Although I am not the Jiang Jiyun here, I will definitely take good care of the baby. Please rest assured and bless us!" After Jiang Jiyun said this, he kowtowed a few more times with the baby.

"We have to find a house that is habitable! What if your father and others come back to find you?" Jiang Jiyun kissed his chubby little face.

Seeing a house that was still relatively well preserved, she was about to walk over when she saw an old man opening the door from the inside, which scared Jiang Jiyun.

"Yun girl, is that you?" The old man was startled when he suddenly saw a child holding something. When he saw clearly who it was, he shouted happily.

"Grandpa Six!"

Memories of the old man emerged in Jiang Jiyun's memory, and she hesitated whether to live with him.

"You...you...why did you come back alive so late? Whose child is this?" Sixth Grandpa saw her holding a fat baby with difficulty.

Jiang Jiansheng came over and helped pick up the child. "Where have you been hiding these days?"

"Sixth Grandpa! Is this Aunt Lan's baby? Aunt Lan is dead too!" Jiang Jiyun looked at the old man with red eyes.

Jiang Jiansheng was stunned and looked at the child in his arms, then took Jiang Jiyun's little hand and walked into the yard.

"How did you run away with the baby?" The old man sat on the stool and touched her head.

"When I woke up, the devils had already left! I searched the village for a long time before I heard the baby crying. When I arrived, my aunt only had time to say a few words before she passed away!"

The old man was in tears. He had only been in the mountains for two days to dig some herbs, but when he came back the village was gone and there were only ruins everywhere.
