Chapter Twelve Painful Memories
The little devil's vanguard pursuit troops quickly passed from under the mountain slope.
The bandits at the entrance of Eagle's Fort suddenly found a large number of fierce little devils rushing up. The bandit leader, unaware of the situation, hastily ordered the closure of the fort gate, while sending someone to report to the fort master, Old Eagle, and firing warning shots.
The leading Japanese officer saw people moving in the shadows of the gate, and someone was about to close the gate. Many more people gathered on the gate tower, and some were shooting guns. The Japanese officer thought to himself, "It seems that the woman we want to capture has run inside, and if the gate is closed, it will be even harder to catch her." So he drew his command knife and shouted: "Charge! Take down the gate. Can't let the gate close..."
The bandits at the Guan Village Gate were shot down by the devils. Although the bandit leader knew that the village owner, Old Eagle, had dealings with the devils, he could only order the bandits to fire and stop the devils' attack now that they were attacking the gate first. If the gate was lost, the village owner would skin him alive. He was very familiar with Old Eagle's temper.
While the bandits and little devils were exchanging fire, Swallow and Zuo Caiyun walked back along the cliff.
The devil captain Yamamoto finally arrived at the scene of the battle. Faced with the fierce firepower of the bandits, he was still wondering when the guerrilla team had become so powerful. He asked the devil officer who led the pursuit to clarify the situation. After opening the map and checking, he realized that they were fighting against bandits, and they were bandits who came and went. Yamamoto slapped the devil officer several times, and in a state of desperation, ordered the little devils to stop firing.
The bandit leader Lao Ying at the village gate also didn't understand why the devils wanted to attack his Lao Ying Village. Seeing the devils suddenly retreat, he hastily ordered his men to cease fire.
When the gunfire stopped, Yanzi and Zuo Caiyun had already turned around a mountain. The two exhausted people collapsed on a grassland. Yanzi said: "We are temporarily safe."
"Let them fight among themselves," said Zuo Caiyun with a smile.
A brief silence. Left Caiyun asked curiously: "Yanzi, what was the reason that suddenly filled you with power just now?"
"Since my parents passed away, I've become a lonely and injured little bird. Living in fear and uncertainty every day, with no one to care for me..."
The swallow was plunged into painful memories at the thought of sad things.
One day, the little devils raided the village. At that time, Yanzi's father was seriously injured, he fell and broke his leg while picking herbs in the mountain. Due to lack of money for treatment, his leg had begun to rot and suppurate. He was unconscious with a high fever. Yanzi and her mother carried the wounded father to escape into the mountains. Before they left the village, two little devils had already caught up with them. Yanzi could only hide her parents in a haystack and try to distract the little devils herself.
The little devil saw that two people were suddenly missing, so he searched near the haystack. Finally found Yanzi's parents. The little devil saw Yanzi's mother, who was nearly forty years old, and pulled her with a sly smile. He shouted: "Flower girl's work......"
The swallow's mother tightly hugged her still unconscious husband. She cried out in alarm. But how could she resist the strength of the two little ghosts? As the little ghosts pulled the swallow's mother out of the grass, the swallow's father woke up. He held onto Ghost A's leg and weakly cursed: "You beasts......"
The devil B has already dragged the swallow's mother to one side, tearing at her clothes. The devil A raises his gun, and the bayonet pierces deep into the swallow's father's body.
The swallow's father used his last bit of strength to fiercely bite down on the leg of Ghost Armor. Ghost Armor let out a miserable cry and stabbed seven or eight times, but the swallow's father only lost consciousness after releasing his grip. His mouth had bitten off a piece of flesh from Ghost Armor's leg.
Guīzi Yǐ heard Guīzi Jiǎ's miserable cry, pressed down the swallow mother and turned back to look. After seeing Guīzi Jiǎ's wretched appearance, he laughed wildly.
The devilish boy limped his leg and stabbed wildly at Yanzi's father again.
The swallow's mother was desperate. She stared blankly at her husband, whose body was a bloody mess, and tightly grasped the awl in her pocket that she used to sew shoe soles.
The devilish laughter of Gui Zi Yi was cut short as he turned to face Yan Zi's mother once again, intending to commit a beastly act. However, just then, the awl plunged deep into his temple. Yan Zi's mother pushed away the corpse on top of her and stood up, her eyes dull and lifeless as she let out a cold "hmm". Still gripping the blood-stained awl tightly, she stumbled step by step towards Gui Zi Jia.
"Pa Kua" devil yelled and raised his gun, rushing to the front of Swallow's mother. The bayonet pierced into Swallow's mother's abdomen.
The swallow's mother grasped the muzzle, and let out a cold "hmm" of laughter, unaware of the pain.
The devilish soldier tried to pull the bayonet out and stab again. As a result, he couldn't even pull it back with two efforts. The devilish soldier was getting scared. Trembling, he quickly pulled the trigger, and after the bullet broke through the swallow's mother's finger, it shot into her abdomen.
The swallow's mother still hummed a cold laugh, with a hint of comfort on her face.
Guīzi Jiǎ saw Yànzi's mother laughing eerily. A wave of fear rose from the bottom of his heart. He suddenly turned his head, a cold light flashed by, and the severed head on the ground saw a thin figure. A kitchen knife was dripping with blood.
"It wasn't until I met that person that I felt a sense of solidity and security in my heart once again."
The swallow is crying, but it has already dried up its tears.
Zuo Caiyun quietly listened to the swallow's words, and only then softly said: "Sorry, I made you think of sad things."
The swallow bitterly smiled and said, "It's nothing, these are all things of the past. I think my parents also hope that I live a good life. Therefore, I must work hard to survive. Kill more devils, avenge my parents."
Zuo Caiyun suddenly realized. She had always thought she was bravely facing it, but in fact, she had been escaping all along.
The sunset going down the mountain is so beautiful, now in this era who else goes to appreciate it.
A voice suddenly came from the nearby woods and shouted at the Swallows: "You two on the lawn, listen! You are surrounded. Put down your weapons and surrender..."
Swallow heard the sound and knew that Huoyao Ge had arrived. He forgot his fatigue all over his body, got up at once, and waited for Huoyao Ge to appear. The two of them had only been apart for a few hours, but Swallow felt like it had been ages since they last saw each other. Thinking about this, Swallow's face turned red again.
Huo Yao and Liu Tao led the guerrilla troops out of the forest, Huo Yao pointed his gun at Yan Zi and said seriously: "You have been captured, you have the right to remain silent, but what you say will be used as evidence against you."
Swallow rolled her eyes and thought, what is this guy talking about? Hasn't he gone silly again?
Huoyao Ge put his arm around Yanzi's shoulder and laughed: "Yanzi, you've worried your brother to death."
Swallow pushed away Huoyao Ge. With a red face, she said: "That's your own business, what does it have to do with me?"
"Firework Brother muttered: 'I knew you little brat wouldn't be grateful, or I wouldn't have gone hungry and searched all over the mountains for you.'"
Liu Tao and the guerrilla fighters were all laughing. The embarrassed Huo Yao was even more uncomfortable, and Yan Zi's face turned redder. Yan Zi had to run to one side, hiding from everyone's sight.
