Chapter Thirty-Six: Born Again and Again

  "Sister, brother-in-law, waaah, waaah..." A 17 or 18-year-old young man ran out of the village crying. "Hey, isn't this Ma Shenxian? What's wrong, Ma Shenxian, did your dad beat you up? Why are you crying?"

  "Get out of here." The young man cursed with his mouth open. "Ma Liang, what are you doing? Why are you scolding people?"

  Ma Liang, Li Shu's brother-in-law, because of the story "The Magic Brush Ma Liang", whenever he comes to visit his sister and brother-in-law, people will tease him for a while, saying things like: "Ma Liang, where is your magic brush? Can you paint us a big fat pig to eat?" or "Ma Liang, why don't you paint yourself a beautiful wife?"

  And every time Ma Liang would smile and say, "You think you're so great, but my divine brush is only used at important times." Today, as soon as he opened his mouth to scold someone, Liu He felt a sudden jolt in his heart, thinking, "This isn't good, something must have happened."

  "Uncle Li, let Ma Liang speak, is something wrong?" "Brother-in-law, Liu Dong's family, our village was slaughtered by the devils, my dad, mom, uncles and aunts were all killed by those beasts, you must avenge them, waaah."

  Ma Liang finally couldn't bear it anymore, changing from low sobbing to loud wailing, "Ah, my dad, mom... uh..." "Mom, mom, Dad come quickly, my mom has fainted."

  It's really a case of misfortunes never come singly, these past few days Auntie Li from Uncle Li's family has been overworking herself and upon hearing the bad news at home, she naturally couldn't catch her breath and fainted.

  "Uncle Li, don't rush, take it easy, lay Auntie Li flat and press the Renzhong point, quickly press the Renzhong point." At this time, Uncle Li was also panicked, on one side his nephew was crying out in pain, while on the other side his wife had fainted from grief.

  "Ah, my dad, mom......" Li Shu woke up and started crying loudly, Da Ni and Dog Egg also followed suit.

  "Li Lu." "Arrived." "Quickly go and check, where did the little devils go?" Liu He's heart was also filled with boundless sorrow and guilt. How could he have forgotten? The little devils weren't human, he should have thought of that. He shouldn't have put all the people in the fields. This scout should have been sent out. If they had been sent out, it might have been possible to avoid the disaster at Ma Jia Village.

  "Ma Liang, come, tell me, how did things happen, how did you escape?" Liu He naturally wanted to understand the situation first. If there were many teams coming, they couldn't just crash into each other.

  "Woe is me, Liu Dongjia. This morning, several dozen soldiers came to our village, being chased by the Japanese army. We all felt sorry for them and hid them."

  A group of soldiers, running and stopping, constantly fighting with the pursuing enemy behind them. Today they arrived at Majiacun village. It seems that these soldiers are both tired and hungry. The villagers looked at them pitifully and also respected these soldiers who were fighting in the war. Naturally, they hid them in the village. The villagers' idea was good, maybe the devils wouldn't be able to see these soldiers and would leave.

  They didn't think that these were devils, what are devils, they are a group of beasts, more than 300 Japanese beasts, when they arrived at the village, first they set up machine guns and grenade launchers, then they went from house to house, rounding up people.

  The villagers gathered together in a large courtyard in the village, and at this time a little devil with a ginseng beard walked out with a command knife.

  "Hello, everyone. Let me introduce myself first. I am the commander of this army, Yamashita Ichiro. We have come for the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere, but you people have greatly disappointed us. You actually hid our enemy away from us. You are not good citizens at all. Tell me, how should I deal with you?" This little devil was speaking hypocritically, his fangs had not yet been exposed.

  "Okay, okay, calm down, I'll get them to hand over your enemy." Just then, the village chief came out with a fawning expression, not a single bone of dignity in his body. Liu He had disliked this village chief for a long time.

  "You, hurry up, didn't you hear what Lord Tai said? Hand over the enemy of Lord Tai!" The villagers naturally had no answer to give. To hand over our brave warrior, that's still something a human would do.

  "You're not speaking up, I'll have to call the roll. Ma Si Xi, that's you! It seems like someone has entered your house before. Tell me, where did you hide that person?"

  "Come out, you!" The Japanese devil pointed with his sword and two fierce soldiers came over and dragged Ma Si Xi out.

  "Yours, tell me, where have you hidden the person? You should know that the one you've hidden is an enemy of our imperial army. Otherwise, you're dead, dead, I say! The little devil's eyes snapped open in an instant."

  Two loud slaps landed on Ma Si Xi's face, "Pfft," Ma Si Xi spat out a mouthful of blood at the little devil, and in the blood was still a tooth, "Little devil, you can give up now, I won't hand them over."

  "Ah, very good, very good." Yamashita Kojirō smiled slyly, wiping the bloodstains on his body with a snow-white glove. "Your consciences are really bad, really bad."

  "Your Highness, Your Highness, calm down, calm down, let me persuade him." "Fourth Joy, why are you so stubborn? What do those soldiers have to do with you? Look, the Grand Master is about to get angry."

  "Get out, you dog traitor! Just because you have a son who's also a traitor doesn't mean you're exempt. Does your master even treat you like a human being?"

  "What did he say?" The little devil was about to get angry, and the village chief hurriedly came forward again, "Your Excellency, I think this Ma Si Xi is looking for death, you can deal with him casually, we are all good citizens."

  It wasn't just Ma Si Xi who was hiding in the village, there were many others. Now everyone glared at the village chief with anger.

  "Dad, wu." Ma Liang had just shouted when a soldier covered his mouth. They still couldn't believe that these little devils would open fire on ordinary civilians, but the devils finally lost their patience.

  "Come on, haha." The little devil was delighted, and the conductor's knife in his hand was raised high. "Let me go." "Dadada...pa pa", machine gun sounds, rifle sounds all rang out at once.

  "You little devil, I curse your mother, you will not die a good death." The soldiers in the cellar were also stunned, they did not expect that this little devil would take action against civilians, otherwise they would have gone out, now it's too late to go out.

  …………

  "It was you who killed my parents, and it was you who killed our fellow villagers in the whole village." Ma Liang's eyes were filled with hot tears as he ran out, at which point the little devils had already retreated.

  They've already finished their trick of killing the chicken to scare the monkey, so naturally they don't need to continue looking for those soldiers anymore, this just gave them an excuse.
