Cheng Changshun had a slight stomachache and thought it would be convenient to go out.As soon as he opened the street door a crack, he saw a group of dark figures in front of No. 5 door.He hastily put his hand on the door and closed it tightly.Then, he scratched a small hole in the broken door panel and looked out with one eye.His heart seemed to be jumping out, forgetting the pain in his stomach.It didn't take much effort to arrest people, but Changshun waited impatiently.With great difficulty, he saw those black figures again, and one of them was Ruixuan - he couldn't see his face clearly, but he knew Ruixuan's stature and posture.He guessed what was going on.One of his eyes was a little sore from looking out.His hands trembled.He waited until those shadows were all gone, and he was still standing there.He was short of breath and confused.He only had one thought, to save Qi Ruixuan.How to save it?He couldn't figure it out.He remembered about the Qian family.If Ruixuan was not rescued quickly, he thought that the Qi family would be destroyed like the Qian family!He was in a hurry, and there were two anxious tears hovering in his eyes.He wanted to tell Sun Qi, but he knew that Sun Qi could only boast, so it might not be useful.Putting his hands on his head, he continued to think.Thinking of all the people in the alley, his heart suddenly lit up, thinking of Fourth Master Li.He immediately went to open the door.But hastily withdrew his hand.He must be careful, he knows the Japanese are full of tricks.He turned around and entered the courtyard.Putting a broken bench by the west wall, he went up to the top.With a clap of his hands, his body fell on the ground of No. 2.He didn't expect to be so nimble and light.When his feet hit the ground, he seemed to understand what he was doing. "Fourth Grandpa! Fourth Grandpa!" He stood in front of the window and called in a low voice.The hot air from the mouth blows onto the window paper, making the paper rustle slightly.

Fourth Master Li had already woken up, but he still closed his eyes to enjoy the warmth of the blanket for a while. "Who is it?" the old man opened his eyes and asked. "Me! Changshun!" Changshun said in a low voice, whimpering. "Get up quickly! Mr. Qi taught them to arrest him!" "What?" Old Man Li sat up very quickly, touching his clothes with his hands.Covering his arms, he came out: "What's going on? What's going on?" Chang Shun rubbed the cold sweat on his palms, and the more anxious he became, the more speechless he became, so he said the matter again.

After listening, the old man narrowed his eyes and looked at the locust tree branches outside the wall.He was very sad.He could see clearly: among the old neighbors in the alley, the Qian family and the Qi family were the best people, but even the good people couldn't save their lives.He is confident that he is also a good person, and based on the example that good people have to suffer, it may be difficult to save his old life.He looked at the branches blown by the Xiaofeng, unable to speak. "Fourth Grandpa! What should we do?" Chang Shun tugged at Fourth Master's clothes. "Ugh!" the old man trembled. "There is a way! Yes! Hurry up and send a letter to the British embassy?"

"I'm willing to go!" Chang Shun's eyes lit up. "Do you know who to look for?" the old man lowered his head and asked affectionately. "I—" Changshun thought for a while, "I will find John Ding!" "Yes! Good boy, you are promising! You go, I can't get away, I have to tell the neighbors secretly, don't come Go to the Qi family!" "how?" "They take people, and always leave two people waiting at the gate, so that they can go in and catch one! They thought we didn't know, but actually," the old man smiled contemptuously, "They did that once, and we still don't know ?"

"So, shall I go?" "Go! Climb over the wall! It's still early, if you go out so early, those two ambush people will be suspicious! Wait for the sun to come out before opening the door! Do you know the way?" Changshun nodded and looked at the boundary wall. "Come on, let me give you a hand!" The old man said with strength.Putting his hands together, Changshun reached the top of the wall. "Wait! Watch out for a twisted leg!" Changshun jumped down without making a sound. The sun doesn't know why it comes out so slowly.Changshun put on his coat and looked eastward in the courtyard.Grandma hasn't gotten up yet.He was afraid that she would get up and question him.If he had told her the truth, she would have stopped him—"Little boy! Whatever it is!"

The sky turned red, and Changshun's heart beat faster.The red light passed through the thin clouds and turned into a bright glow, and he ran to the street gate.Stand still and look out with one eye.There was no movement in the alley, only a little light was added to the branches of locust trees.As if his nose was not enough, he opened his mouth, breathing heavily and loudly.He dared not open the door.He imagined that as soon as the door slammed, it would attract bullets!He must be brave, but he must also be careful.He is young and must be old.A year in slavery adds ten years to a man. The sun is coming out!He opened the door very slowly, only opening a crack enough for him to squeeze out.Like a fish diving into water, he slipped out.Afraid of being seen by No. 5's ambush, he walked eastward along the wall.Walking into the "Gourd Belly", the sun had already illuminated the broken glazed tiles on the main hall of the Huguo Temple, shining twinklingly, and he strengthened his feet.At the west exit of Huguosi Street, he got on the tram.The tram only runs to Xidan Pailou, and West Chang'an Avenue is cut off from traffic today.After getting out of the car, he bought two hot sliced ​​cakes and stuffed them into his mouth as he walked.All the guys in the shop are flying five-color flags.He didn't know what it was for, and he didn't ask.There were too many days to hang the flag, and he was no longer interested; anyway, hanging the flag was the idea of ​​the Japanese, so what did it do.Unable to enter West Chang'an Avenue, he took Shuncheng Street to go east.

With no phonograph on his back, he walked very fast.He doesn't look very good when he walks, with his big head protruding forward, and he doesn't know where to put his hands because he lost the big loudspeaker and the gramophone.As he walked faster, his hands became even more chaotic. Sometimes he swung them very high, and sometimes he forgot to swing them, which made him bewildered when he walked. As soon as he saw Dongjiaominxiang, his steps slowed down, and his hands also moved in a certain rhythm.He was a little scared.He was brought up by his grandmother, who was most afraid of foreigners and often taught his grandson to avoid foreigners.Therefore, if Changshun got a gun, he would not be afraid to go to war with any foreigner, but when he met the enemy on the first day of the new year, he would be taken aback before he dared to go forward.Grandma's daily lessons made him inevitably startled.

He stomped the soil on his feet, wiped the sweat from his nose with his hands, and then walked slowly into Dongjiaomin Alley. He made up his mind that he must break into the embassy, ​​but he stomped his feet unintentionally to wipe off the sweat .I saw the British embassy, ​​and of course I saw the guard standing outside the gate as straight as a stick.He couldn't help but stopped.People's fear of xenophobia for decades prevented him from going straight to the court. No, he can't just stand there forever.After so many years of fear, he still has the heart of a young man.A heart unknown to the Japanese.Blood welled up in his face, and he walked over to face the guards.Before the guard could speak, he said in a high voice, to avoid whining, "I'm looking for John Ding!"

The guard didn't say anything, just pointed inside with his hand.He ran to the porter.A porter at the porter was very polite and told him to wait.The blood rushing to his face receded.He didn't feel how brave he was, and he was no longer afraid, and his heart was very peaceful.He began to look at the flowers and trees in the garden—a Chinese seemed to be able to notice the beauty of a garden with flowers and trees as soon as his heart was at peace. John Ding came out.Wearing a white shirt with starched edges and corners, he lowered his head and walked quickly and steadily without making a sound from the soles of his shoes. His movements not only showed the dignity of the British government, but also showed that he could do things here. proud.Seeing Changshun, he lifted his head slightly, and said in a low voice, "Oh, you!" "It's me!" Changshun smiled.

"What happened to my house?" "No! Mr. Qi taught the Japanese to arrest him!" John Ding was stunned.He never thought that the Japanese would dare to arrest people from the British government!It is not that he is not afraid of the Japanese.However, when comparing the British with the Japanese, he couldn't help adding a "big" character to the British and a "small" character to Japan.Between this size, there is a lot of sense.He admitted that the Japanese were powerful, but he never imagined that they were powerful enough to send people from the British government to prison.He frowned and became angry—not for the Chinese, but for the British government. "This won't work! Let me tell you, this won't work! Wait a minute, I'll tell Mr. Fu Shan! I have to tell them to let Mr. Qi go right away!" As if he was afraid that Chang Shun would run away, he added: "You wait!"

Not long after, John Ding came back again.This time, he walked faster, but also more silently.There was light in his eyes, and he hooked his finger to Changshun calmly and excitedly.He was happy for Changshun, because Mr. Fushan wanted to ask Changshun himself. Chang Shun followed John into a small office like a fool. Mr. Fu Shan was walking back and forth in the room, stretching his neck as if he was choking.Mr. Fushan's heart is obviously very restless.Seeing Changshun come in, he stood up and cupped his hands.He didn't like shaking hands very much, and thought it was more respectful and hygienic to hold hands.As for Changshun, he didn't need to surrender, Changshun was just a child.However, he likes pure Chinese.If Chinese people in suits would never be respected by him, then those in coats, regardless of their age, would always be valued by him. "You came to deliver the letter, Mr. Qi was arrested?" He asked in Chinese, his gray-blue eyes turned bluer, and he really cared about Ruixuan. "How did you get it?" Changshun stammered and told the story.He has never talked to a foreigner, and he doesn't know how to speak the most appropriate way, so speaking is particularly difficult. Mr. Fu Shan listened with great attention.After listening, he stretched his neck, his face turned red several times. "Hmm! Hmm! Hmm!" He nodded again and again. "You're his neighbor, huh?" Wang Changshun nodded, and he said "hmm" again. "Okay! You are a good boy! I have a solution!" He puffed up his chest. "Go back quickly and try to tell Mr. Qi, don't worry! I have a solution! I will bail him out myself!" After a moment of silence, he seemed to say to himself: "This is not arresting Ruixuan, but beating the old Englishman." Mouth! Kill the chicken for the monkeys to see, hum!" Chang Shun stood there, he wanted to talk, but he had nothing to say, and he was embarrassed to say goodbye.He was very happy in his heart, he did a "very" thing today, enough to shut up Sun Qi's mouth and stop bragging! "John!" said Mr. Fushan. "Lead him out and give him some fare!" Then he said to Changshun, "Good boy. Go back! Don't tell anyone about us!" Ding Yuehan and Changshun walked out very proudly.Changshun stopped John Ding from giving him the car money: "Do something for Mr. Qi, and I can..." He couldn't find the right words to express his enthusiasm, so he just smirked. John Ding stuffed a dollar into Changshun's pocket.He was commanded to do this, and he was compelled to do it. After leaving Dongjiaomin Lane, Changshun really hired a car.He had to take a car, because Mr. Fushan had hired a car for him with that one yuan.Sitting in the car, his heart boiled.He was going to grandma, Sun Qi, Fourth Master Li, and tell everyone how he broke into the British mansion.Immediately afterwards, he warned himself: "Don't say anything, keep your mouth shut like a clam!" At the same time, he had to plan how to report to Old Man Qi so that the old man could rest assured. rescued, and how grateful he is.Thinking about it, the cool wind lowered his head.The fear, excitement, and fatigue of the morning made him close his eyes. Suddenly he woke up and the car had stopped.He yawned so loudly that he seemed to swallow a whole street. When he got home, he made up a whole set of lies to perfuse grandma, and then lowered his head to think about how to tell Old Man Qi about his tricks. At this time, all the people in the alley got the sad news of the Qi family from Fourth Master Li.Fourth Master Li didn't dare to go door-to-door to notify, but only told everyone in a low voice when everyone was shopping around a vegetable picker.After getting the news, everyone opened the street door to express their composure.Their hearts beat fast.It's just that in such a small alley, they have already seen the misfortune of the Qian family and the Qi family.They all want to do their best to help the Qi family, but no one has the means and ability.They could only secretly look at the door of No. 5 with the corners of their eyes.They still started the fire to cook, made tea and poured water as usual, but there was an indescribable sadness and injustice in their hearts.At noon, everyone's hearts beat faster, which is another way of beating.They almost forgot about Ruixuan because they heard the news that two special envoys had been assassinated.Sun Qi didn't even care about his work, he had to go home and drink a few sips of wine.It had been so many days that he hadn't heard a happy thing; today, his heart opened: "Okay! Let go of your hatred! Who said we don't have heroes in Beiping!" He said to himself as he walked home.He forgot about his nearsightedness and bumped his head against the pole.Touching the big bag on his head, he was still full of joy: "That's right! If you want to kill, choose the big one! Yes!" Xiaowen and his wife were rumored to sing in the South China Sea. Hearing the news, Xiaowen expressed his opinion as an artist: "If you change dynasties, you will die. Those who have money, those who have no money, those who have status, and those who have no status, should be masters." Yes, all slaves must die! There must be an execution ground in a good show, and assassinations and beheadings will make it lively and applauded!" After speaking, he picked up the huqin and played a pass.Although he wanted to be indifferent, the sound of the piano was not very bright and exciting. Wen Ruoxia didn't say anything, she just lowered her head and hummed a few words. Fourth Master Li didn't want to say anything, so he moved a small bench and sat outside the door, facing the door of No. 5.Qiuyang basked on his head, and he felt comfortable.The balance in his heart happened to be equally high on both sides - you take our Ruixuan, and we end up your special envoy.The child in No. 1 was going to pay his respects to the envoy, but ran back home like two rats drowned in the water.They didn't dare to mess around outside the door, but kept running into the house and shut the door tightly.A little smile appeared on the corners of Li Siye's eyes.The old man has always disliked killing, and now he has almost changed his mind—"killing" is useful, as long as it is done right! Guan Xiaohe held back his words and wanted to find someone to talk to.His brows were furrowed, as if he was worried.He was not worried about the safety of the big red bag, but worried that the Japanese would massacre the city.He felt that the assassination of the special envoy deserved a massacre of the city.Naturally, Tucheng might have nothing to do with him, because the Guan family is a friend of the Japanese.However, if the Japanese really want to kill him with red eyes and crazy hearts, who would know that they would also give him a knife in a daze?Those who are overly afraid are the ones who bend their knees first, but often tremble after bending their knees. Seeing Fourth Master Li at a glance, he rushed over: "It's not good to make such a fuss!" His brows frowned even tighter. "Look, isn't Tai Sui breaking ground?" He thought it was a complete nonsense. Fourth Master Li stood up and picked up the small bench.He doesn't like to offend people the least, but today he felt a burst of courage from somewhere in his chest, and he decided to offend Guan Xiaohe.At this moment, a man rushed to Qi's house as if reporting a funeral.When he got outside, he didn't knock on the door, but said some secret signal.The door opened, and he and the people inside touched each other like ants, and the two people inside hurried out.The three of them walked away together. Li Siye could see that: the special envoy was assassinated, probably there were not enough spies, so the Qi family's ambush was also transferred away.He walked into the house slowly.After a while, he came out again, seeing that Xiaohe was no longer outside, he hurriedly called Chang Shun outside the No. 4 gate. Changshun has not been idle for a long time in the morning, and he is still thinking about how to meet Old Man Qi.Hearing Fourth Master Li's voice, he ran out in a hurry.Fourth Master Li just nodded his hand, and he followed the old man to Qi's house together. Yunmei had already given up the job of digging the wall because Old Man Qi did not allow her to continue.The old man’s anger had not yet dissipated, and he said to her in a rather loud voice: “What are you doing? Don’t dig any more. Don't use a broken vat to top the street door again! Humph, people will jump in from the house! It's over, it's over! I've lived more than seventy years in vain! My methods are useless!" Yes, his most precious The experience is not worth a penny.He lost his confidence.He is like an old horse that has been abandoned, allowing the flies and mosquitoes to bully him, but there is nothing he can do. Xiao Shun'er and Niuzi were secretly playing in the south room, not daring to come into the yard.Secret play is the great sorrow of children.Yunmei boiled some dried peas for them so that they could keep their mouths shut. Xiao Shun'er was the first to see Fourth Master Li coming in.He yelled "Mom!" with great excitement. The yard had been quiet for half a day in the morning, and this call made everyone tremble.Yunmei ran over with red eyes. "Little ghost! What are you calling?" Just after she finished speaking, she also saw Fourth Master Li, and she couldn't care less about what to say, so she started to cry. She is not a woman who loves to weep, but the disaster of this half day made her unable to stop crying.The husband's life and death are unknown, and the family are prisoners in their yard.If she had the freedom to go out, she would have run off her soles to run for her husband, she has so much determination and courage.However, she couldn't get out.Besides, since she can't go out at home, she should make food for the old and the young, no matter how much pain she feels in her heart, she doesn't care whether they eat or not.However, she could not go shopping in the street or outside the door.She was cut off from the whole world and from her responsibilities as wife, mother, and daughter-in-law.Though out of chains, she becomes a prisoner.She was anxious, angry, angry, and there was nothing she could do.She had never heard of the method of arresting one person and putting the whole family in "prison".Only the Japanese would come up with such an outrageous idea.Now, she really understands the Japanese and really hates them. "Fourth Master!" Old Man Qi called out in surprise. "How did you come in?" Fourth Master Li forced a smile, "They're leaving!" "Leaving?" Mrs. Tianyou dragged Xiao Shun'er and Niu Zi over. "The Japanese special envoy told us to kill them, they have no time to stay here!" Yunmei stopped crying. "Special envoy? Dead?" Elder Qi felt that everything seemed to be a dream.Before Fourth Master Li could speak, he made up his mind. "Xiao Shun'er's mother, bring a piece of high incense, I will burn incense for the Japanese!" "Forget it, old man!" Fourth Master Li smiled again. "Burning incense? It's only useful to fire a gun!" "Hmph!" Old Man Qi's small eyes shone with hatred. "If I had a gun, I would have killed those two beasts at the door! The Chinese are helping the Japanese to bully us, you bastard!" "Forget it, listen to what Chang Shun'er has to say." Fourth Master Li pulled Chang Shun who was standing behind him to the front. Changshun got impatient with the wait, so he immediately puffed up his chest and told everyone about the heroic deeds of the morning, like telling a thrilling story.When he first came in, everyone thought he was here to see the excitement, so they didn't pay much attention to him.Now, he is a hero, and even his whining sounds like music.After he finished speaking, old man Qi sighed: "Changshun, it's hard for you! Good boy! Good boy! I think I'm an old neighbor in the old street watching the Qi family's laughter with their hands in their hands. It turns out..." He Can't go on.His gratitude to his neighbors made him forget his anger towards the Japanese, his heart softened, his anger subsided, his shoulders no longer straightened, but relaxed.Groping, he slowly sat on the steps, holding his head in his hands. "Grandpa! What's the matter?" Yunmei asked eagerly. The old man didn't look up, and said in a low voice: "My grandson may not die! God, open your eyes and take care of Ruixuan!" Things were a little hopeful just now, and he immediately returned to his original position, still an honest and peaceful man. , the elderly who endured suffering and oppression. Mrs. Tianyou struggled all morning and was already tired, so she wanted to lie down for a while.However, she refused to leave Fourth Master Li and Changshun.It is inconvenient for her to announce the ugliness of her second son Ruifeng, but she can see that her friends are indeed closer and more reliable than Ruifeng.It made her happy and sad.Suppressing her emotions, she forced a smile and said, "Fourth Lord! Changshun! You are tired!" Yunmei also wanted to express her gratitude, but she couldn't speak.Her heart is entirely on Ruixuan.She didn't dare to doubt Mr. Fu Shan's strength, but she was also worried about whether her husband could have been tortured before Mr. Fu Shan arrived!In her heart, Mr. Qian and Ruixuan merged together from time to time, and she saw Ruixuan covered in blood. Fourth Master Li looked at this and that, feeling very sad.The men, women and children in front of me are all the people with the cleanest hearts, but each one of them has been tortured for no reason.There was little he could do to comfort them.Reluctantly, he opened his mouth: "I think Ruixuan may not be able to bear much grievance, so don't worry!" He coughed lightly, knowing how ordinary and powerless his words were. "Don't worry! Don't make a lot of noise! ​​The British government must have a good idea! Changshun, let's go! Brother Qi, just come to me if you have anything to do!" He walked out slowly.After walking two steps, he turned back to Yunmei and said, "Don't worry! Let's cook something for the children first!" Changshun also wanted to explain a few words, but couldn't think of words.Bored, he patted Xiao Shun'er's head.Xiao Shun'er smiled: "Sister, I, be good and obedient! Don't go to the door!" They go out.The two women sent out as if attracted.Fourth Master Li stretched out his arm. "Just don't give it away!" They stopped in a daze. Old man Qi was still sitting there with his head in his hands, without moving. At this time, Ruixuan had already spent several hours in prison.This is where Mr. Qian Moyin came.All the equipment in this place is quite different from what Mr. Mo Yin knew.When Mo Yin came here, everything in it was crude and simple, turning the school into a temporary prison.Now, it is a "perfect" prison, and the "painful management" of the Japanese can be seen everywhere.For any small place, the Japanese have spent great efforts in remodeling and remodeling it, so that anyone can praise it as a crystallization of cruelty.Here, the Japanese fully demonstrated their accomplishments in the art of killing.Yes, killing is their art, just as they are so particular about drinking tea and vase flowers.Those who come here are not only prisoners, but also flowers and plants picked by the Japanese; they have to experience the most patient and delicate artistic method before they lose their breath, dripping blood drop by drop, slowly, skillfully, and finally Painful, drained.Their pain is the joy of the Japanese.The education Japanese soldiers received taught them not only to be vicious and cruel, but to eat the taste of viciousness, and to teach cruelty to become a hobby like loving flowers and birds.This prison is a laboratory for such taste and art. Ruixuan's heart was quite peaceful.On weekdays, he loves to think; even for trivial matters, he has to think over and over again in order to come up with the most appropriate solution.Since the July 7th Anti-Japanese War, his mind has never been idle.Today, he was arrested, but he felt that the matter was over and he didn't have to think about it anymore.With a very pale face and a smile on his lips, he got out of the car and entered Peking University - he could see very clearly that it was "Peking University". The cell where Mr. Qin used to live has completely changed.In the row of rooms downstairs, the front façade has been removed, and dense and thick iron bars have been installed, very much like animal cages in a zoo.The cell was very small, narrowly divided into several rooms, and each room was only big enough to accommodate a pair of wild boars or foxes.However, Ruixuan saw clearly that there were ten to twelve prisoners in each room.They could only stand with their chests against their backs, their mouths against their heads, and no one could move.There was nothing in the room except people, and probably the prisoners could only stand up to defecate and defecate on the spot.Ruixuan glanced over, there were at least a dozen such cages.He shuddered.Outside the cage, there were only two Japanese soldiers standing, with six eyes—four for soldiers and two for guns—that could control everything effortlessly.Ruixuan lowered his head.He didn't know whether he would also be put into that group's "station cage".If he went in, he guessed, he would die after only standing for two days. However, he was taken to the westernmost cell, which was also small but empty.He thought to himself: "Maybe this is the special treatment room!" The small iron door was unlocked.He bent over and squeezed in.On the ground of Sanhe soil, there is nothing, except for patches, which are darker than the soil, smelly, and bloodstained.He quickly turned around, facing the iron gate, he saw the sun and a soldier.The soldier's spear stabbed the sun to reduce its heat.Looking up, he saw an iron bar hanging from the ceiling.A tangle of iron wire was wrapped around the iron bar, and a rotten hand was wrapped in the wire.He looked back, and accidentally saw the east wall, where a complete human skin was pinned stretched out on the wall.He wanted to go out immediately, but immediately saw the iron gate.Unable to go out, he simply looked carefully, his eyes turned to the west wall without any hesitation.On the wall, just up to the side of his head, was a framed banner with the pussies of seven women.There is a red note on the bottom of each one with a number, and there is a small patterned flower that is carefully drawn next to it. Ruixuan didn't dare to look at it any more.Lowering his head, he shut his mouth tightly.After staying for a while, he gritted his teeth.He didn't care to think about his own danger, and a fire burned in his heart.His nostrils stretched out, and he exhaled loudly. He decided not to think about his family anymore.He saw that his fate had been decided by the Japanese.The hanging hand and the nailed human skin were specially taught to him, and his hands and skin will probably be used as exhibits.Well, since the fate has been decided, he will go forward with a smile.He sneered.Grandfather, parents, wife... are all far away from him, and he seems to have no idea what they look like.This is the best way to die, to die happily, without tears, without lingering, without worries. He stood there blankly for an unknown period of time; only when a slanting sunlight hit his head did he wake up and move like a dream.His legs were already stiff, but he still refused to sit down, as if standing up could show a little more strength.A very small Japanese in plainclothes, like a mouse, glanced at him from outside the iron gate, then walked away with a smile.His smile remained in Ruixuan's heart, making Ruixuan sick for a while.After a while, the little mouse came back and bowed viciously to Ruixuan.The little mouse opened his mouth, and said in good Chinese: "You don't want to sit down. You are welcome. I will invite a friend to accompany you!" After speaking, he turned his head and waved.Two soldiers carried a half-dead man, put them outside the iron bars, and then moved the man to stand up.The man—a man with a face so swollen that he couldn't tell how old he was—couldn't stand still.Two soldiers tied him to the iron bars with a rope. "Okay! Mr. Qi, this man is disobedient, we ask him to keep standing." The little mouse said with a smile, and then he pointed to the half-dead man's feet.Only then did Ruixuan see clearly that the man's feet and fingers were nailed to the wooden board.The man swayed to this side and to this side, but could not fall because there was a rope around his chest.His toes had turned black.After a long time, the man let out an ouch.A soldier ran over very quickly and smashed his feet with the butt of his gun like pounding rice.One of the rotten toes was smashed off.The man let out a long howl like a hungry wolf, lowered his head, and kept silent. "You shout! Hit!" The soldier looked at Ruixuan and scolded that person.Then, he picked up the broken toe cherishingly, and admired it carefully.After looking at it for a long time, he put the gun in his arms, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, wrapped his toes, and wrote down the number.Then, he smiled at Ruixuan and went back to his post. After about half an hour, the little mouse came again.He looked at the man with the severed finger, and at Ruixuan.The man with the severed finger has stopped breathing.The little mouse said regretfully: "This man is not strong. He died within three days after wearing the wooden shoes! Chinese people don't pay much attention to sports!" While talking, he shook his head, as if he was worried about the health of the Chinese people. .Sighing, he said to Ruixuan again: "The British embassy doesn't have wooden shoes?" Ruixuan didn't make a sound, but understood his crime. The little mouse put on a serious face: "You look down on the British, and look down on the big Japanese! You must repent!" After finishing speaking, he kicked the dead man hard.Words came out from between his teeth: "Chinese, it's the same! Both are bad!" His two glowing mouse eyes stared at Ruixuan.Rui Xuan didn't stare, but just looked at the little mouse indifferently.The mouse got angry: "You are so powerful, yours can wear wooden shoes!" After that, he walked away with great strides, as if he was about to cross half of the earth in one step. Ruixuan stared blankly at his feet.Waiting for nails on the toes.He knew that his body was not very strong, and maybe he could only live for two days after being nailed.Of course those two days were painful, but after they passed, I knew nothing, never knew anything—eternal life without feeling!He hoped that things would be so simple and quick.He admitted that he was guilty and deserved such a tragic death, because he followed the rules and was not able to participate in the war of resistance. The two prisoners silently carried the dead away.There were tears in both of his eyes, but no sound came out.Voice is the language of "freedom", those without freedom can only die silently. There were suddenly more posts in the courtyard.The Japanese coming out and going in are as nervous and busy as ants moving house.Ruixuan didn't know about the assassination in Nanhai, but only thought those dwarfs running around were very ridiculous.To be born as a human being, he thought, was already very pitiful, but to be born as a Japanese and spend his pitiful life on biting and messing around was not only pitiful, but also ridiculous! Groups of prisoners were driven in from the outside like sheep and walked to the back.Ruixuan didn't know what was going on outside, but only hoped that there would be riots in or outside Beiping.Insurrection, even in failure, is honorable.Silently waiting for his skin to be peeled and his fingers chopped off like this, he is just a bug playing in the hands of the Japanese, shame is his eternal posthumous title!
