From the attack just now to the end of the battle, it was only more than an hour. It ended with the indifferent conversation and discussion of the crowd. In just one short hour, it changed the fate of a large group of families. Their men died, the village was burned, and the property that originally belonged to them would be occupied. Their homes were completely destroyed, and the life of their clan came to an end.

He Ximei was not in a good mood, and she couldn't stand these behaviors very much. But she knew that she could not change anything at all. This area was almost always tragic, but the difference was that they happened to encounter it today.

Zheng Qi turned to look at He Ximei and said, "Stop watching, let's go, we can't do anything about these things."

Zheng Qi's persuasion was powerless, and he also didn't know how to persuade He Ximei. However, it was the first time he had seen the cruelty of war that had already twisted people's hearts. Thinking about those teenage children and those helpless women, their begging eyes... Zheng Qi shook his head. Here, sentimentality is not a good thing!

He felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart, but with it a stronger sense of crisis. What would he do if the government forces did not attack here today, but their village, faced with fierce army, and their burning, killing, looting, and what could he do?

Although he is strong in his personal strength, he is only a person. He can deal with five equally empty-handed men. He can deal with ten soldiers with guns alone with guns, but what about fifty people? What about one hundred people? And the other party is not only guns, but also cannons. Can he stop it? With his flesh and blood body, a shell comes over, and he will still be like ordinary people, like those who were killed by shells just now.

What should I do? This is the biggest doubt in his heart at the moment, and it is also the thing that bothers him. According to the situation just now, there will be no law here at all. The gun is always the only regime here! In the cruel and realistic world, the truth is only within the range of the cannon!

After this, they were not in the mood to continue to see the Kokang Casino, known as "Little Macau". The two returned to the same path, and they were in a heavy mood. In addition to the touch just now, Zheng Qi was also accompanied by a sense of confusion and confusion about his future life.

After returning, He Ximei left for something, while Zheng Qi was strolling around. Although green mountains and clear waters are the environment that people like, if they are too green mountains and clear waters, they may be bored. Zheng Qi is like this now. The communication here is not well developed, and he can only learn about the outside world through a radio all day long. People who do nothing usually gather together to chat. Zheng Qi and them had no topic, so he walked to the side alone and found a seat to sit down.

Looking at the women and children in front of them, especially those children, the young children were naughty and they would never be able to calm down for a while, and the toys in their hands surprised Zheng Qi.

A child about seven or eight years old was showing off in the group of children with a black Type 64 pistol. Looking at the envious eyes of other children, he seemed very proud, while the mothers on the side did not stop their behavior and allowed them to continue playing.

Zheng Qi looked at it a few times and felt a lot. The childhood of these children was spent in the smoke of gunpowder and war. They developed such a habit since childhood, which would definitely have an impact on a person's personality. Perhaps in their eyes, this guy in his hand was just a special toy, so special that he could smash a person's head! In the long run, when they grew up, they were destined to carry guns to fight for the government or anti-government forces.

But if they don’t do this, what can they do? After simply reading the book, there is no place to work here. Without a job, there is no income. Either they grow opium or join the army. He can earn some money for himself like the farmers in front of him, but this is not a person’s territory. Competition among drug dealers is also common. Or they can join the army or receive one or two hundred yuan, which is enough for their lives. Perhaps if they do well, they can become a small leader. If they don’t do this, the result they face is starvation!

Zheng Qi looked at the blue sky above his head, and a figure blocked his sight. He tilted his head and saw that Hong Ming had come over at some point, holding a small stool in his hand and sat next to him.

"Brother Hong, don't you go to find your old friends?"

"It's gone!" Hong Ming shook his head, and a trace of sadness appeared in his eyes.

"Sorry!" Zheng Qi said.

"It's okay, this kind of thing happens here almost every day." Hong Ming smiled and looked at the children who were having fun in the yard. "Nothing is strange, but I just thought of my family."

"Oh? Your family?" Zheng Qi didn't have a deep understanding of Hong Ming, only knowing that his fighting skills and flying knives were very good. He once fought with Chen Mingsheng and Hong Ming, and the two of them only supported him for five minutes at most. I have to say that if it were about boxing and kicking skills, Zheng Qi might not be able to walk a few moves alone in Hong Ming's hands. In addition to these, he also knew that he was particularly respectful to He Ximei, and sometimes it gave Zheng Qi the feeling that he was He Ximei's housekeeper.

"Family..." Hong Ming whispered, then smiled bitterly, "Do you want to hear a story?"

Zheng Qi nodded and signaled Hong Ming to continue.

"Like everyone else, I turned out to have a family. A gentle but nagging wife and a lovely daughter. In order to let them live a better life, I joined the popular Mengtai Army at that time. With my whole body of kung fu, I also gained some promotions. I brought some people under my hands..." Hong Ming took out a cigarette and handed it to Zheng Qi. He shook his hand, and Hong Ming lit it for himself again.

"Later... I could have given my wife and daughter a happy life, but Kunsha finally got into trouble with the military government and the Wa State Army. They fought hard, and with the joint of the two forces, we naturally couldn't deal with it. In fact, the most dangerous thing at that time was not the government army but the Wa State Army. They were really too strong. In this war, most of the troops in Kunsha were lost under the command of Wa State, and the government army only played the role of clearing the battlefield..."

"At the back, you also know that when Kunsha surrendered, our troops under us were naturally suppressed by the Wa State Army. When I had some money, I planned to take a few good brothers back and take my family away from this turbulent area. But we were attacked by the Wa State Army and the government army. Just near my home, I even saw my wife and daughter running over, but everything was too late, my eyes turned bloody and a familiar fishy smell smelled at the tip of my nose. I don't know if I was shot or my brother was shot. At that time, my attention was all on my wife and daughter..."

Speaking of this, Hong Ming choked up and his eyes turned red. He took a sip of cigarettes and coughed a few times. Then he said in a slightly hoarse voice: "The bullet penetrated their bodies, and blood spurted out from their bodies. I even heard my daughter's yelling hard at 'Dad'. She was only fourteen years old at that time, but I was powerless. I fell down and watched them kill to the ground by the rushing army with bayonets..."

"When I woke up, I found that I was not dead. I was lying in the pile of corpses of my brother, but I wanted to die immediately. I couldn't move. After a long time, a group of armed forces around me discovered me. At that time, a woman, who was about nineteen or twenty years old, or their leader. When I saw her, I almost cried. Her eyes were exactly the same as my daughter, with a hint of weakness, and when she was more determined. Although she was much older and looked much more beautiful, their eyes were surprisingly consistent. I even thought it was my daughter who came to save me..."

"That woman is..."

"Yes! She is Sister He. She was only twenty years old at the time, but she was the local armed leader. Although I was in my early thirties, my identity was incomparable to her. Haha... It's amazing!" Hong Ming blinked his eyes and then laughed.

"No wonder!" Zheng Qi nodded. It turned out that Hong Ming regarded He Ximei as his daughter. However, because He Ximei's temperament, he must hate these things very much, so Hong Ming could only call her Sister He. This is why the two are so different in age but Hong Ming is so respectful.

"But don't talk nonsense to her. She hates these sensational things the most..." Hong Ming smiled. He probably didn't say these things to many people, and maybe even to them. But after that, Zheng Qi felt that he felt much more relaxed.

"Of course, I will keep it a secret for you!" Zheng Qi patted Hong Ming on the shoulder, "Although I am not a party member."
