He Daqing, do you know how I've lived these past years?

Brother, the river is just ahead. Should we follow the river or continue north?

Leyou hesitated for a moment and said:

"Continue north, I have one more thing to take care of."

Chen Si nodded, and the troops continued their rapid march.

Leyou pulled out a bloodstained suicide note from his pocket and sighed with complicated emotions.

Three days later,

"Brother, the village you mentioned is just ahead. The brothers have been scouting it for a long time."

"Yes, the entire army will set up camp and rest."

Chen Si, go to the village and find out about Yang Sanwa's home.

"yes, Sir"

Leyou dismounted, lit a cigarette, and slowly walked towards the village.

Black-backed Old Six also quickly led the guard battalion to follow.

Because many soldiers in the guard battalion had their faces scratched and scarred by Victor, Lao Liu contacted the other eight sects and obtained a batch of bronze face shields. After all, his appearance had frightened many civilians during the previous march.

Soon the group arrived in the village and saw more than two hundred men with hoes and pitchforks surrounding Chen Si.

"Fellow villagers, we're on the same side! Lay down your weapons!"

Seeing this, Leyou hurriedly shouted,

However, many people in the crowd retreated in panic.

A middle-aged man came out and shouted:

"Fellow villagers, they are definitely bandits and soldiers. Don't be fooled. If we don't resist, they will surely rob us of everything, including our wives."

Upon hearing this, the crowd, who had initially retreated, shakily stepped forward again, forming a standoff with the guard battalion.

Seeing that everyone's attention had been diverted, Chen Si hurriedly used his Nine Claws to hook onto the roof, quickly climbed up, and shouted to Le You:

"Brother, there's something wrong with these people."

I asked many people about Yang Sanwa before, and they all hesitated and said that there was no such person.

Later, I asked an old man, who said that Sanwa was suffering, and his daughter was suffering too. Before he could finish speaking, a group of people rushed out and surrounded me.

That old man was also dragged out and beaten.”

Upon hearing this, Leyou immediately raised his hand.

"Everyone, put down your hoes and pitchforks, or you'll die!"

The guard battalion immediately raised their machine guns and aimed them at the crowd.

"It's none of my business, don't kill me."

Several people in the crowd immediately dropped their hoes and ran to the back.

Leyou tilted his head towards Lao Liu, who then hurriedly divided his forces to capture the fleeing men.

Along the way, they found an elderly man lying on the ground. When the soldiers went to help him up, they discovered he had already been shot dead.

Upon learning of the situation, Leyou clapped her hands repeatedly and said:

"Okay! Okay!"

Looking at the man kneeling on the ground, Le You asked expressionlessly:

"Yang Sanwa is from your village, right?"

The people kneeling on the ground immediately turned to look at the middle-aged man from before, then slowly turned back and said:

"We don't have this person here."

Leyou laughed when he heard this. The old man had been beaten to death and he was still saying that such a person didn't exist.

Without further ado, he drew his pistol and fired five shots in quick succession.

Screams erupted from the crowd:

"Murder! Soldiers and bandits have committed murder!"

The five people who died from being shot also stared wide-eyed at everything.

"Bring five more people over. If they don't tell the truth, it's one word: death."

As the five men were pulled over, the sixth brother kicked each of them to their knees.

"I'll ask one more time, is Yang Sanwa from around here?"

"Yes, yes, sir, please let me go. I promise I won't do it again."

Leyou looked at the crowd who were constantly kowtowing and begging for mercy and said:

"Looking at all these people, it seems there aren't many young women. Where is Yang Sanwa's daughter?"

Then the five people who were begging for mercy kept kneeling and kowtowing without saying a word.

Leyou nodded to Lao Liu, who immediately raised his machine gun and fired a few shots before pulling over five more people.

The five men pointed directly at the middle-aged man and shouted:

"Sir, don't kill me! I'll talk, I'll talk!"

"When the enemy entered the village, they burned, killed, and looted. Many of us fled to the mountains."

However, Sanwa's parents were disabled and could not walk fast, so they were quickly captured and killed by the enemy. After Sanwa's wife and our wife's mother were raped by the enemy, Sanwa ran out of the village like a madman.

After the enemy left, we went down the mountain and found her daughter hiding in a vat inside a pig manure pit.

It was because Yang Gousheng, relying on his younger brother's position as a garrison officer in the city, wanted to bring Sanwa's daughter along to bring good fortune to his mentally challenged son.

When the village chief refused, he killed the village chief's entire family and became the village chief himself.

On their wedding night, he himself took the place of his mentally challenged son as the groom.

The next day, when the village women discovered this, they came to his door demanding an explanation, and he killed them all.

Sanwa's daughter also took out a pair of scissors, intending to kill Yang Gousheng. In response, Yang Gousheng summoned all the able-bodied men in the village to be his groom, breaking the legs of those who refused and driving them away.

Later, Sanwa's daughter was also thrown out to be fed to the dogs.

Upon hearing this, Le You's anger surged to his heart, and he gritted his teeth, asking:

"What's the name of Yang Gousheng's younger brother?"

"Sir, his name is Yang Gou Dan."

Leyou nodded and said:

"Tie up all the able-bodied men except the elderly."

I'll break every bone in your body and hang you at the village entrance.

Chen Si, send a telegram in my name to the county town and tell them to bring this Yang Gou Dan over. Even a whole bunch of beasts must be brought here, not one less.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Gousheng hurriedly pushed through the crowd and ran to the back.

Chen Si on the rooftop quickly swung his nine-clawed hook, which caught Gou Sheng's collarbone, and pulled him back.

At this moment, several elderly people with white hair came out:

"Sir, we don't know what your relationship is with Sanwa, but we secretly collected the body of Sanwa's daughter, Shan Chu, and buried her with her mother and grandparents."

Leyou suppressed his anger and said:

"Can you take me to see him? I am Sanwa's superior."

And so, Leyou followed several elderly people to a mass grave about a mile outside the village, a place filled with graves of all sizes.

Soon they arrived at the grave of three adults and one child.

Leyou lit three cigarettes and placed them in front of the grave, saying:

"Sister-in-law, little sister, uncle and aunt, I am Sanwa's superior. Sanwa has a letter for little sister, which I brought with me."

Let me tell you, Sanwa was very brave. He always took the lead in battle and killed many Japanese soldiers. He was a truly upright and honorable man.

Little sister, I hope you won't blame him. Your father also regrets it; he was thinking of you before he died.

He then used a lighter to light the bloodstained suicide note, silently gazing at the grave. He held on even as the flames burned his hand, continuing until the letter was completely burned.

At this moment, Chen Si walked over and said:

"Brother, we've brought that beast from the county town."

Leyou nodded and said:

“Castrate those beasts, cut out their tongues, break every bone in their bodies, and then throw them here.”

I want to watch them die here.

"It's the eldest brother."

As screams rang out, hundreds of people were quickly brought to the graveyard, where they lay on the ground moaning and groaning.

Leyou watched quietly as well.
