"Yu'er, are you happy to go to town today?"

On the winding country road, the man turned his head and asked the girl on his back.

Eight-year-old Yu'er hugged the man's neck tightly with her little hands, nodding her head like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Yu'er is so happy. My sister helped us teach the bad guys a lesson and even gave me meat to eat..."

The childish voice is particularly pleasant to hear.

The wrinkles on the man's face also relaxed, and he sighed: "Yes, there are still many good people in this world!"

"Yu'er, you have to remember the appearance of that big sister. The days are long, and we must repay her when we have the opportunity." The man warned.

Yu'er nodded seriously.

The man added: "It's all lean meat. Yu'er, do you want to eat braised meat? Or stir-fried meat? How about asking your mother to make meatballs for you?"

After hearing so many ways to eat, Yu'er's eyes suddenly lit up, and her stomach started to growl.

"Yu'er likes to eat the meatballs made by my mother the most, and she eats them during the Chinese New Year!" she said.

The man looked distressed.

"Then let your mother make meatballs at noon, okay?" the man asked.

Yu'er wanted to nod, but shook her head.

"Grandma Wang next door said that my mother is about to give birth to a little brother, so she can't be too tired."

"If Yu'er doesn't eat meatballs, Yu'er will eat fried meat."

Hearing his daughter's words, the man was even more moved.

They say that a daughter is a close friend of her father and mother, and it is absolutely true.

"Yu'er is so sensible. Dad can also make meatballs. Dad will do it. I guarantee that I, Yu'er, will eat meatballs today! Okay?"

"Really? Yeah!"

"Hahaha……"

The whole journey was filled with laughter and laughter.

It's hot, and the village is a long way from Xiushui Town. I have to take the meat home quickly, otherwise my daughter will have nothing to eat if it gets spoiled.

The man walked very fast, and Yu'er, who was carried on his back, hugged her father's neck tightly to prevent herself from falling.

"Dad, look, the village seems to be on fire!"

Yu'er pointed to the place in front of her sight where black smoke was rising and exclaimed.

The man looked up, sure enough!

How could this happen?

The man felt nervous and ran into the village in one breath.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.

Under the tree, on the ground, in the yard...

There are dead people everywhere.

There is blood everywhere.

"Zhang Wang?"

"Ah Cai?"

"Aunt Liu!"

One by one, the men shook the familiar villagers on the ground, and they all died.

Everyone's body is covered with scars, some have bloody holes in their chests, and some have their intestines protruding...

Why, how could this happen?

The man was horrified and fell to the ground, his mind going blank.

"Mother, mother, I want mother..."

His daughter's frightened cries brought him back to his senses.

Wife, where is the wife?

The man struggled to get up, and without bothering to get the meat or things, he grabbed the girl.

The father and daughter staggered among the dead people and arrived at the entrance of their yard.

Before going out in the morning, my daughter-in-law held on to the courtyard door to see them off, telling them to be careful on the road and to go early and come back early.

The man rushed into the yard and immediately saw a crooked trail of blood leading from the kitchen into the main room.

The man's heart suddenly sank, and he couldn't stand still.

Yu'er slipped off him and rushed into the house.

Soon, her frightened cries could be heard in the room.

"Mother, mother..."

…

The man hugged Yu'er and hid in a sweet potato cellar in the woods behind the village.

In the cellar, they met Daming from the same village.

Daming was hiding in the cellar with blood on his head and face.

Seeing that the people coming were Yu'er and his daughter, Daming, who was in shock, howled and cried.

"Uncle Shunzi, Yu'er, the whole village is gone, gone..."

The man's name is Shunzi, and he is a neighbor of Ming Dynasty.

He immediately put down Yu'er, rushed to Daming, and held Daming's shoulders: "Da Ming, what's going on? Is it done by the **** Nanmanzi?"

Shunzi's eyes were full of blood, and her voice had already become hoarse.

Daming shook his head: "They are not Nanbarbarians, they are officers and soldiers, a group of officers and soldiers!"

"What? Officers and soldiers? Are we from Daqi?" Shunzi asked.

Daming nodded vigorously.

"I happened to be carrying a load of firewood into the village at that moment, and I saw a group of officers and soldiers arriving at the village."

Daming recalled, his face full of horror.

"They kill everyone they see, even the elderly and children."

"He went into the house and rummaged through boxes and cabinets and grabbed money, food, poultry and livestock."

"After the robbery was over, the house was set on fire. Everyone in the village was dead. I escaped by being caught in the pile of dead people."

"They robbed our village and then went to other villages..."

"**** officers and soldiers, **** your ancestors!" Shunzi roared angrily, and the boxer smashed his fist into the cellar wall behind Daming.

The dust fell rustling down.

Shunzi's fists were even more bloody.

Yu'er was so frightened that she burst into tears and was out of breath.

Shunzi came back and held Yu'er tightly in her arms.

The father and daughter hugged each other and cried.

In this way, they hid in the cellar until dark, and then the three of them climbed out of the cellar.

Looking at the ruined village ahead, Shunzi and Daming both looked ashen.

Tired and hungry, Yu'er finally couldn't bear the exhaustion and fell asleep in Shunzi's arms.

Even in his sleep, the child was still sobbing softly and murmuring for mother...

Shunzi's heart twitched violently.

I went to town and my home was gone.

My wife is gone, everything is gone!

Several times he had the idea of ​​running him over and killing him.

Seeing the girl in his arms, the man couldn't bear it.

My daughter has no mother and no father anymore, what should I do?

Shunzi gritted his teeth, turned around and asked Daming beside him: "Where do you plan to go?"

Daming also looked confused.

"I don't know either."

"I have a sister who is married near Licheng, and I want to join her," Daming said.

"Uncle Shunzi, where are you and Yu'er going?"

Shunzi shook his head: "I don't know."

Daming hesitated for a moment, "How about we go to Licheng together?"

Shunzi frowned.

"The officers and soldiers ruined my family. I hate them and I hate Daqi. I won't go to Licheng!"

Daming had no choice but to part ways with Shunzi and Yu'er.

The night is hot and muggy.

The moon is hiding behind the dark clouds, and there is no wind.

Shunzi held Yu'er in her arms and walked aimlessly on the dark road.

He didn't know where to go either.

Just let your feet walk, one foot deep and one foot shallow.

The smell of blood lingers in the air.

In my heart, hatred is like a sharp blade, tearing at the man's heart.

Suddenly a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky.

"Rumble..."

The muffled sound of thunder was like heavy stone wheels rolling across the sky.

The pouring rain poured down.

In the vast sky and earth, the father and daughter staggered forward.

Yu'er didn't know when she woke up.

No crying, no fuss.

She lay quietly on the man's shoulder, looking at the village behind her that was getting away step by step.

It rained heavily and the village was very blurry.

The rain hit my face and scratched it painfully.

She tried to keep her eyes wide open and looked straight at the village that was gradually shrinking into a black dot.

His clear and pure eyes were shrouded in hatred.

There is no more light, it is as silent as an abyss or a whirlpool.

She pursed her lips tightly, clenched her little hands into fists, and her nails dug into her palms and pricked her flesh, but she felt no pain.

She heard all the conversation between her father and Uncle Daming.

It was the officers and soldiers, it was the officers and soldiers who killed the whole village.

It was the officers and soldiers who killed her mother and her unborn brother. It was the officers and soldiers who made her lose her home!

They are officers and soldiers...

Officers and soldiers...
