Just as Zhang Shouyi discovered Jiang Chenge's absent-minded look, he was about to send a secret code to ask questions, but he was shocked to hear the panic-stricken footsteps outside the door, and hurried over and hurried away.

The chaotic footsteps suddenly aroused everyone's curiosity, and they stopped reading the poems involuntarily, and turned their heads outside the house. Mr. Kong also calmed down from the chanting of the poems, put down the book in confusion, and walked towards the door patrol. At this moment, someone shouted at everyone at the door: "The Eastern people are here, the Eastern people are here..."

Mr. Kong was shocked and nervous so much that his calves were trembling. He didn't know how to deal with it for a while. He looked at the student in a daze and stood there in a daze.

Liuting Town is very small, so small that it has no marks on the map. It is located between Shanghai and Nanjing, on the shore of Liuwang Lake on the side of the Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou. Since the fall of Shanghai and Ningxia, Liuting Town seems to be a place forgotten by the world, even the Japanese devils are no exception, so it is as quiet as a paradise.

Now that the Eastern people are here, this paradise will never exist.

Mr. Kong has heard a lot about the atrocities of the Japanese devils, such as the Battle of Songhu, the massacre in Nanjing, the rape and adultery in Jiangyin, the burial of Changzhou, the suppression of Wuxi, etc. Once these bloody scenes appeared in his mind, his mind was unconscious, and the children looked at each other, and no one knew what to do.

After a moment, I didn’t know who took the lead, so I stood up and shouted, “Run quickly!” I ran out of the house while shouting. No matter what, whenever there was someone taking the lead, others would spontaneously follow up without reason. Everything came from instinct, the instinct of survival.

Since the outbreak of the Japanese war of aggression against China, the war has burned the country, especially for two years, rumors of the Japanese army burning, killing and looting in the county town have been rumored in Liuting Town from time to time. The fear of the Japanese has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the children. Home has always been a safe haven, and going home to avoid disaster is the instinct of survival.

Mr. Kong did not react, and the children scattered, probably running home.

However, only Jiang Chenge and Zhang Shouyi did not run away. They were still sitting there. Although their faces were scared and they could not say a word, they sat upright on the chair as steady as Mount Tai.

Jiang Chenge did not run away because he was waiting for his mother.

Zhang Shouyi did not run away because Jiang Chenge was here.

The boy didn't know the taste of sorrow, and the gentleman was like an ant pot. He knew that Jiang Chenge had nowhere to run, but Zhang Shouyi had a home to go back, so he immediately said in a hurry: "Shouyi, why are you still stunned? Why don't you hide home quickly!" Liuting Town is not old, and the children who come to private schools, except Jiang Chenge, are all children from neighbors and neighbors. They usually come and go without anyone to pick them up. That's what Mr. Kong said.

Zhang Shouyi smiled and said, "I won't leave if Brother Chen doesn't leave."

Jiang Chenge glanced at her and said quickly: "Your home is very close, you can go back by yourself. I am waiting for my mother, and my mother said she will come to pick me up today."

Zhang Shouyi raised her head and replied indifferently: "I don't care."

Kong Xiaoan didn't care about the arguments of the children and snatched out. When he looked around, he saw people running away in panic. The neighbors closed the shops and closed the doors, like Mr. Kong, standing in the threshold with one foot and slapped outside the threshold with one foot, looking around freely.

While Mr. Kong was hesitating, the teacher's wife snatched it out of the inside and shouted at him: "The Japanese are coming, why are you watching the fun? Why don't you close the door quickly?"

Mr. Kong didn't see the Japanese, but just saw the neighbors running back and forth. His scholar had a temper aroused, and he patted his long gown with a ruler, trying to maintain the decentness of the teacher, and said in a hurry: "What are you panic!"

Before he finished speaking, the teacher's wife had already trotted to the door, pulled Mr. Kong back, and said in a fury that he was robbed and said: "I don't care if you want to cause trouble. The child is here. If something happens, I will see how you explain it."

Mr. Kong was pulled into the house, and he remained gentle and explained with a proud look. His master's wife looked deaf, put her hands on the door. Just as she was about to close the door with all her might, Jiang Chenge suddenly shouted: "Auntie, close the door slowly, my mother said she would come to pick me up."

The teacher's wife was stunned for a moment, and closed the door and said, "I'll open it when your mother comes."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chenge became anxious. He finally couldn't sit still. He jumped out of his seat, rolled and crawled to the door, and said, "Let me see if my mother is here!"

Mr. Kong and his wife said in unison: "Hurry up and hide in the inner room, I'll watch here, and I'll open the door as soon as your mother comes."

Zhang Shouyi was a follower and chased after him. Seeing Jiang Chenge kneeling behind the door, his eyes pressed against the crack of the door, he followed suit, pressed against him, and knelt on the ground, asking, "Did you see the messenger?" In the local area of ​​Liuting Town, the child called the messenger. The messenger in Zhang Shouyi's mouth was naturally Jiang Chenge's mother Kong Ci'an.

Without thinking, Jiang Chenge immediately replied, "Not yet!" After pausing, he said, "You want to be blind and not listen to your sir, so hurry up and hide in the inner room."

Kong Xiaoan and his master's wife also repeatedly advised her to go back to the inner room, but Zhang Shouyi refused to obey. Instead, he said: "What's the difference between hiding here and hiding in the inner room? It's not the same."

Jiang Chenge said: "It's different. You hide in the inner room and see the ghosts coming, and you can still escape from the back door!"

Kong Xiaoan and his master's wife agreed, but Zhang Shouyi still had his own opinion. He was next to Jiang Chenge's head, squeezed together, and looked through the crack of the door, saying, "Even if I want to escape, I can't escape the Japanese. So I let me see. I haven't seen the Japanese before! I really want to see what the Japanese look like."

Jiang Chenge said: "The Japanese devils will kill and set fire. Are you not afraid?"

Kong Xiaoan and his wife worked together to take Zhang Shouyi into the inner room. Zhang Shouyi struggled and shouted, "Sir, Master, I don't want to hide! You guys do this again, when I go home and tell my father, I will say you will bully me."

When Kong Xiaoan and his master's wife heard this, they were immediately scared and had to let go, and were helpless for a while.

Zhang Shouyi regained his freedom and immediately replied to Jiang Chenge: "Does the Japanese devil have three heads and six arms?"

Jiang Chenge looked at the movement outside without blinking and said, "I don't know either!"

The teacher's wife's heart was already in her throat at this moment, and she said anxiously: "My lady, my life in Shen Pavilion is not worth much. Your life is precious. What good things are there for the Japanese devils? Why don't you hide quickly? If something goes wrong, I can't afford it!"

Kong Xiaoan seemed to be in lingering fear, and pointed Jiang Chenge's head with the ruler and said, "Speak quietly, you all whisper. You two ancestors, please beg you, hid in the inner room quickly, I'll tell you what the Japanese look like!"

Zhang Shouyi asked without looking back: "Sir, have you seen it?"

Kong Xiaoan hurriedly said, "I've seen it, I've seen it! I've seen it more than ten days ago..." Halfway through the door, on the street, and in the distance, there were waves of uniform footsteps, the sound went from light to heavier, the Japanese did not show up, and the dust was flying...

The Japanese are here! The Japanese are really here. Liuting Town suddenly lost the tranquility of the past and is no longer a paradise.
