Chapter 66: Hiding

  Remember in one second

  "Chirp, chirp... " "Why does this sound so familiar? Is there some connection between me and this sound?" Liu He muttered to himself as he heard the bird's cry outside.

  "Hey, Big Brother Liu, what are you thinking about? You're teaching me how to shoot a gun." "Ah!" Hu Zi's sudden exclamation interrupted Liu He's train of thought. If he hadn't interrupted Liu He, and had just casually imitated a few bird calls, the guerrilla fighters might have found him. But because he didn't respond, the bird calls slowly faded away into the distance.

  These guerrillas were also stubborn, Liu He let them try not to disturb the masses on the road, and they really followed suit, would rather use bird calls in the wild to contact Liu He than go into the village to ask about Liu He's whereabouts, but it was their caution that allowed them to escape danger time and time again.

  Although there are many good people among the villagers, there are also die-hard Han traitors. If they rashly enter the village and are reported by these traitors, they may be annihilated by the devils in this unfamiliar territory.

  "Dong dong dong, fellow villagers, the devils are coming, run quickly......" Liu He was just about to teach some knowledge of firearms to Hu Zi when an alarm sounded from outside.

  "Hurry up, Da Man, and you too, Liu brother. I heard the devils are less than ten miles away from here." Since several villages were massacred by the devils, each village has formed a small village guard team to monitor the devils' movements from afar.

  When Liu He and the others were fighting a blocking battle, the village alarm team also discovered the devils, but they thought someone was fighting the devils, so they didn't report it. This time, however, they couldn't stop the devils, and those who ran fast came back to report the alarm.

  "Hmm," looking at the villagers' commotion, with their families and luggage, wearing tattered clothes, adults shouting, children crying, who knows when they will enter the mountains.

  Look around and see that Hu Zi Da Man had a small bundle on his back, while Yang Shu Te had an iron pot on his back.

  "Yang Shu, what are you doing with this pot?" "Big brother, you don't know, this is the only valuable thing left in my family." These words made Liu He suddenly blush a little, he really hadn't noticed that Yang Shu's family didn't have anything good, it seemed that this pot was indeed their most precious possession.

  "Liu brother, what did you carry on your back? When I and my sister carried you, it felt very heavy." "Hehe, Tiger, I was carrying some food. You guys have eaten them before too."

  Liu He opened all the packages to find his memories, but it was clear that this was a luggage of an outsider, with dry food, bullets, and those devil's clothes with bloodstains on them. Was he the one who killed them? In fact, these were all supplies for their march, as well as some personal items that they had hidden before the war to be carried again after it was over.

  When they came out of the village, Liu He was surprised again. The people who were slow in action inside the village suddenly sped up after leaving the village. Children cried, but no one took care of them, and they just walked with their children in their arms or on their backs. Even the old ladies with bound feet carried a bundle on their backs and walked very fast. It seemed that this village had experienced such things several times before, otherwise there would not be such speed.

  "Villagers, villagers, you walk and listen to me chatter a bit. We can't always run into the mountains like this, it's not a solution." "Tiger, who is this?" "He's a wealthy man from our village, surnamed Sun, but nobody remembers his actual name, just his nickname, Sun Ma Zi (Sun with freckles). Haven't you seen the freckles on his face?"

  "Oh, I see. What's his reputation like in your village?" "Not good, greedy and lustful, and now who knows what other bad ideas he'll come up with."

  "Sun Ma Zi, what kind of trouble are you up to again? Speak up." "Hey, hey, you guys, how can you do this to me? I just have a few pimples on my face, but I'm a big shot. My name is Sun You Cai, listen carefully, I'm saying that we should organize a team together, the name is already decided - Sun Zhuang Protection Team. Those with money can contribute some funds, those with guns can donate them, and those without money can join as team members. This way, we won't be afraid of the devils anymore."

  It's a good idea, but what Sun Ma Zi thinks in his heart is unknown. Besides, what can an untrained team do? "Go, we thought you had some good suggestions. Gun, first take out the few guns from your home."

  Someone immediately started booing, it seems that this Sun guy has proposed several times already. "Liu brother, don't listen to him, he just wants to be the team leader, fighting devils, he can't even fire a gun."

  "Oh, Hu Zi, are we going to hide in that mountain ahead?"

  "Yes, every time the devils come, we go into the mountains. The devils don't dare enter the mountains."

  Liu He estimated that it's not that the devils didn't dare to enter the mountain, but rather this mountain only has some ordinary old folks, they naturally wouldn't care about them. If there were troops here, they would also dare to come in.

  "You little devils, I curse your ancestors! You beasts have actually set our home on fire!" At this time, someone with sharp eyes looked back and saw that thick black smoke was already rising above their village, which was a clear sign that the village had been set on fire.

  When everyone found out, the village was already engulfed in red flames. "Ahh, you little devils, where do you want us to go and live now......"

  Suddenly, a commotion broke out among the villagers. Some were crying, some were jumping with rage, and others were cursing loudly. "We're not leaving, damn it! This little devil has burned down our homes, what's the point of running? We'll go back and fight those devils to the end!"

  "We'll fight them, we'll fight them." For a moment, public outrage was stirred up, and it can be said that all the men were shouting to go back and fight them.

  "Go on, let's hurry back and fight the devils to the death." Even Huzi and Yang Shifu were like this. "Yang Shifu, Huzi, you're coming back, isn't going back like this sending yourselves to death?"

  "Liu Ge, aren't you a hero who fights against the devils? Come back with us and fight against the devils together!" Hu Zi exclaimed excitedly. "What are you shouting about? Who here has weapons? How can you use just your heads and hoes to fight against the devils? Isn't this just going to get you killed? You must understand, our Chinese lives are much more precious than those of the little devils. Even if we could exchange ten of their lives for one of ours, it wouldn't be worth it. So what if the village is burned down? We can always rebuild, but once a life is lost, everything is lost."

  Although Liu He was talking to Yang Shu and his son, he was also speaking for everyone's benefit, including the hot-blooded young people who were immediately stopped by Liu He's words.

  "Then, hero, let's fight the devils with you." "Me too, me too." This triggered another wave of enthusiasm to follow Liu He in fighting the devils.

  "Hey, you guys, I'm recruiting soldiers here too, come over to this side." Of course, Sun Ma Zi's eyes turned red with anger on the other side. This wouldn't do, how could all these people go to that outsider?
