I couldn't see them because I was hiding in the tunnels.

But I could hear their voices.

Two of them were still panting.

"Is Old Chen still alive?"

"Passed out, the bleeding sort of stopped."

"Half dead, right? Put him down here. We don't have a doctor, we don't have a chance to take him away."

"No, how can we sacrifice our comrades for the revolution?"

"Comrade Wang, that's wrong. Just because of the revolution, proper sacrifice is worth it."

"Old Comrade Jin, you can't say that. Didn't old Comrade Chen get blown up like this so that we could avoid the mines?"

"All right, both of you say one less word. Let's sing the votes. Old Chen who fainted doesn't count, we have exactly five people here. Must vote, just how to say it.

....

I didn't move a muscle in the tunnel.

Five people?

I thought about what they said.

No, it was six.

There was also a wounded old Chen.

They spoke Chinese, so it must be the Chinese.

But now that the soldiers did not know the purpose of the other side, I did not dare to make a rash move.

Now in the tunnel, I have two guns and a number of bullets in my hand.

The number of bullets is enough to kill them, but I can not kill five people at the same time.

Thinking if they were mountain bandits fleeing over.

If they found out, I would fight with them.

....

"Raise your hand if you agree to take Comrade Lao Chen away."

"Two votes."

"Raise your hand if you agree to put Comrade Chen here."

"Three votes."

"Then let's put Old Chen here, the man has fainted. We'll leave first thing in the morning to clear the way for the troops."

"Which, it was a little shimmering when I came in just now. I saw meat drying on the door shelf, and no one was here. Let's take it down and eat it, and we haven't eaten for more than a day."

"Comrade Wang is making another low-level mistake, no one here means that people were killed by the devils. There is meat hanging at the door and the devils didn't destroy it. That means the meat was deliberately put there by the devils and must be poisonous."

"Old Comrade Jin is right, almost believed the ghosts' treacherous plan."

"All right, all right. Rest for the night and take turns keeping watch. First thing tomorrow we'll continue exploring and find an area free of mines to go back to. So that we can get our supplies to supply the battlefield to the west and fight our way up to Beiping City."

....

Fight Beiping? Supply lines?

What the hell are these people trying to do.

And mines?

Could it be that they are referring to the area where the devils buried the stuff?

So these people could be the insurgents?

To find an area without minefields?

I thought about it and waited, wondering what they would do with the wounded man.

....

"Which one, I'm so hungry."

"We can't eat, we can't have any more casualties."

"Why don't we let Lao Chen eat first, and if it's not poisoned we're eating it?"

"Go see if Old Chen is still alive?"

"I.... There is still breath. I heard our vote, for the revolution I.... I've had the consciousness of death for a long time. Let me test the poison for them, and die at least. It's a full death."

"Old Comrade Chen consciousness is very high, Xiao Wang go. Here is a pot, with water and dried meat to find a distant place to make a fire to make soup. Here can not have an open fire, will expose our location." Lao Jin said.

....

I was already confused.

Let your own people go out and light the fire, it is not the same as revealing the location.

If the fire is lit, the upper floors will know immediately.

The ghosts came down to capture people, and they didn't know how they were going to die.

I immediately climbed out of the tunnel and shouted, "Wait."

At once six people were startled by me.

I also saw them clearly.

One of them reacted by raising the gun in his hand and aiming at me.

I immediately put down the gun on my own phone and raised my hand.

"The ghosts' clothes." Xiao Wang said.

"Don't shoot, I'm Chinese. See what I say, the ghosts will say?" I shouted.

"Which why wear the clothes of the ghosts." Lao Jin said.

"This, trying to survive here, can you believe it without wearing this?" I said.

The people did not say anything.

I looked at one of them slightly lowered the gun.

I immediately said, "I know we are hungry, but can not go out and light a fire."

"We're hungry, what can we do if we don't light a fire?"

"I did not say not to light, just can not go outside again. We a little ghosts on the high platform to see a clear, immediately someone will come over. Point again far away, caught one will certainly also search a large area." I said.

"But we are hungry ah."

"This is my home, the meat in their hands is also the meat I hunt. I can make them eat, you need to trust me." I said indifferently.

The five men were dumbfounded.

Instead, the ground dying old Chen said, "Sing the ticket."

Xiao Wang was the first to react, holding up his hand with the meat and said, "I agree."

"After all, he's an outsider, and I don't trust him."

"He's wearing demon clothes and holding a demon gun. Must have killed the devils and robbed them from them. I trust him, guys."

"Who else can you trust now if not him, raise your hand."

"Raise your hand if you believe."

The whole five votes, even the ground dying old Chen raised his hand.

Xiao Wang slowly stepped forward and put the bacon on the ground.

I said, "The flint on the table."

Immediately old Jin handed l over.

"How do you plan to do?" Xiao Wang said.

"Yes, the house ignition is not controllable ah." Lao Jin said.

I smiled bitterly and said, "I'll light the kang."

A long time ago, I used bricks to force-fill the chimney.

This is one of the secrets of my cooking without being discovered.

Then I picked up a flint and struck it.

Once, twice.

The bed under the bed was lit up.

The wood blocks were filled in earlier.

I then laid a layer of small stones.

Because the chimney was blocked, smoke was grabbed all over the house.

Which originally existed doubts said, "What? Is this trying to kill? How to choke."

I helplessly said, "Not blocking the chimney, this bit of smoke will certainly be found."

Helpless, the crowd can only choose silence.

Even the ground dying old Chen are just covering their noses, not dare to say anything.

I slowly said, "What are we here for?"

None of the people answered me, I shook my head with a bitter smile.

Time passed, the kang was burning.

Then got up and went to bring the pot, and used a fire poker to pick out a small stone that had burned red before.

Buried the kang with soil, iron pot stone stir-fry this meat aroma puff.

The crowd's eyes looked straight at the pot.

I put the pot in the middle and said, "Eat slowly, be careful of the stones hot."

The crowd did not wait for me to say, immediately reached into the pot to grab the meat.

Little Wang was hot screaming, but for security considerations hard to endure.

I said again: "What is the purpose of our coming here?"

Old Chen, who was dying, took a bite of the meat handed to him and said, "To find a way to supply the Red Army at the front."

"What do you mean the Red Army? What supplies?" I asked.

"The Red Army that fought the devils, but here mines, not mines we would not want to now ah." Old Chen strained to say.

"We have not understood it, fight the devils? How do you intend to be the Red Army?" I asked again.

"Is the anti-Japanese army ah, we call themselves the Red Army. We all call each other comrades, now help us like this. Also our good comrades ah, right." Xiao Wang said.

"I do not understand these, but I know we have to fight the devils." I said.

The species nodded their heads firmly.

I smiled bitterly and said, "The mines we are talking about, are they things that explode when buried in the ground?"

Xiao Wang nodded again and said, "Yes, the damned devils. They have buried mines in important places so that we can't pass easily. It's not as though the front line is not far from here, but there are mines all over Beiping."

I bent down and looked through the tunnel, took out the metal block in my hand and said, "The mine that they said, is it it."

"It will blow up, what's the point of holding it." Xiao Wang shouted in fear.

The young king then realized the mistake and covered his mouth.

I immediately said, "This has been removed and will not explode."

The young man beside Xiao Wang immediately said, "Will dismantle the mine?"

I thought for a moment nodded my head, although I had only seen which ghosts had dismantled once.

But this mine in my hand I can study for a while.

"Great." Xiao Wang smiled happily.

。。。。。

The next morning, the two left to take care of the seriously injured old Chen.

Xiao Wang and Lao Jin took me to the outskirts of the city.

I threw open a mine in front of them and used my bayonet to cut it from the cross-section.

And placed the scrapped mine in front of them.

Xiao Wang and Lao Jin were a happy mess.

It then took half a day and I was taken to a camp full of Chinese.

They called themselves the Red Army.

I met the army commander.

After Wang talked to him a bit.

The army commander came up to me quickly and looked at me and said, "My last name is Zhou Enlai. I'm told I can defuse bombs?"

A bomb? It's a mine, right? I nodded and handed over the disassembled mine.

The army commander then smiled and gave me the title of bomb disposal expert.

A month later, I dismantled a supply line for the troops.

Old Chen and two other comrades were also saved.

Two months later, I followed the army commander to press from Beiping to Nanjing.

Army Commander Zhou was very kind to me and gave me an official position.

But Army Chief Zhou stayed in Nanking, while I went to Shanghai.

That one was fought for three months and was called the Battle of Songhu by later generations.

And after the first mine from Beiping, I demolished in one breath the day I died.

A total of seven thousand four hundred and twenty-seven.

Six years, an average of three a day.

Ask me my name?

My name is Yang Jie.
