Chapter 28 Twenty-six

You hide!Although Xiaoxie was very calm, he looked extremely concerned, his eyes had never been so bright.Although our soldiers are not brave in battle, they are crazy when they are defeated.Hide away!He was facing west, but he still said to me: "My friend, I entrust the fans to you!"His face was still facing west, but he turned his hand behind his back, as if he still wanted to touch Mi in the midst of his busy schedule. Mi took his hand and said tremblingly: We will die together! I am completely baffled.Should I hide with a maze, or live and die with the two of them?I am not afraid of death; what I want to consider is which way is better.I know that my pistol is useless if hundreds of soldiers are fighting with me.I didn't want to think about it anymore, I grabbed one of them and ran to a broken house behind the village.I don't know how I remembered it, my plan no, it wasn't a plan, because I couldn't care less about it; it was a flash of intuition, and I saw the way: the three of us hid , When the brigade has passed, I can take the risk of catching a scattered soldier, and then I can find out the situation on the front line, and then make calculations.Unlucky enough to be seen by the brigade, say they might rest here for a while, I had to hold off as long as that pistol could do, and leave the rest to God.

But Xiaoxie didn't do it.He seemed to have many reasons for not doing it, but he didn't bother to talk about it; I don't know why.If he doesn't run, nature fans won't listen to me.I don't know what to do.The dust in the west is rolling closer and closer; I know the cat people have powerful legs and eyes; if they see them, it will be too late to hide. You can't die by their hands!I forbid you to do that!I said eagerly, still pulling them both. It's all over!You don't have to lose your life; you don't even have to worry about fans, just let her have her way!Xiao Scorpion is also very determined.

In terms of strength, he is not my opponent; I put my arms around his waist, half-holding and half-pushing to force him;Fan naturally followed me.In this way, I still won the victory and hid in a shabby house behind the village.I used a few broken bricks to build a small screen on the wall, and looked out through the holes in the bricks.Xiaoxie sat under the wall, and Mi sat beside him, holding his hand. Soon, the brigade came over.It was like a gust of strange wind wrapped in gray sand and fallen leaves, moving forward as a whole.There were noisy voices one after another, and suddenly the voice became quieter, as if the waves were suddenly descending. I held my breath and waited for the waves to surge up again.When the number of soldiers is small, you can see all the soldiers running forward as if they were frightened, without sticks in their hands, with their eyes only on their toes.The novelty of the phenomenon terrified me.An army, no horses, no flags, no knives, no ranks, just running on a piece of hot sand. Countless naked cat people, all of them seem to be frightened and almost mad, rushing desperately, like a frightened group , One place, one world savage.Never seen this before!If they go in a whole group, I will never be afraid.

For a long time, the soldiers gradually became scarce.I began to think: the soldiers were defeated, why did Xiaoxie have to go to see them?This is his father's soldier, and he will settle accounts with him because of defeat?This makes sense.But why did Xiaoxie go up to them instead of avoiding them?Can't think of a reason.Emboldened by confusion, I'm going to risk getting a cat soldier.There wasn't a single tree or a single obstacle except some huts; I just had to jump out and be seen!After waiting for a long time, the soldiers became even rarer, but all of them ran extremely fast; probably because they were particularly afraid of falling behind and wanted to catch up with the people in front immediately.It's no use chasing them, I've got to figure it out.

Well, let's see how my marksmanship fares.I know that if I hit one, no one will care about him.The people in front will never turn back when they hear the gunshot.But how could it be so coincidental that I hit someone who happened to be neither serious nor serious and was captured alive by me?Besides, he was shot, although he was not shot fatally, but he was still being interrogated with the bullet in his flesh. I have never been an officer, so I am not so cruel.This strategy is not wise. There are fewer and fewer soldiers.I became afraid: Maybe if I stay for a while, there will be no one left.I decided to go out and capture one alive.Anyway, there are not many people, just besieged by a few cat soldiers, I will not fail completely after all.Without further delay, I drew my pistol and ran out.Things are not always as easy as ideal, but they are not always as difficult as ideal.If the cat soldiers run away when they see me, I can't even catch a shadow of me after chasing me for a day.But there was a soldier who suddenly saw me, like a little frog seeing a water snake, and stood there motionless.The rest was easy, I carried him back like a pig.He didn't yell or struggle; or he was already tired from running, coupled with the fright, he was already half dead.

Putting him in the broken house, he didn't open his eyes for a long time.He finally opened his eyes, and when he saw Xiaoxie, it was as if the most delicate part of his body had been stabbed with a bayonet, meaning to stand up and jump over Xiaoxie.I hold his arm.His eyes seemed to be on fire, and with me beside him, he dared to be angry but dared not speak. Xiao Xie didn't seem to be interested in this soldier at all, he just sat there in a daze holding his fascinated hand.I know that if I interrogate the soldier gently, he may not answer; I must threaten him.The intimidation got to a certain level, and I asked him how he was defeated.

He seemed to have forgotten everything. After staying there for a long time, he seemed to remember something: it was him!Pointing to the little scorpion. Xiao Scorpion smiled. explain!I ordered. It's all him!Bing repeated again.I know the cat man is trembling, so I patiently waited for him to let go of his anger first. None of us wanted to fight, but he tricked us into fighting.The enemy gave us the soul of our country, he, he forbids us to have it!But he can, can only, control us; the red rope army, this army, that army, are all transferred by him, Almighty took over the souls of foreigners and retreated safely, leaving us alone People are so beaten that they don't know where to go!We are his father's soldiers, but he didn't take care of us and put us to death!If one of us is alive, we cannot ask him to die properly!His father has already withdrawn us on purpose, he, he won't do it!Those who retreated safely were not injured, and they could go back and grab some things; we, now that we don't even have a stick, how can we live? !He seemed to say he was happy, and Xiaoxie and I listened to him without saying a word; Xiaoxie might just be silent because he was sad and didn't listen. As for me, every word Bing said was very interesting , I just hope that the more he talks, the better.

Our land, house, family, and soldiers continued to say that they were all taken away by you; you have this one today, and that one tomorrow, and you will have more officials and more people, and more people will be poorer.They robbed us and lied to us until we had to serve as soldiers. Even if soldiers helped you become officials, you got the first share. You just gave us a little bit because you were afraid that we would stop helping you.When foreigners come to beat you and rob you of your property, you tell us to die, you blind man, who will work for you!We don't know how to work, because you have turned our parents into soldiers, so that we can only be soldiers since we were young; we have no way to live except as soldiers!He took a breath.I took this opportunity to ask him:

Since you know they are not good, why don't you kill them and handle everything yourself? Bing's eyes rolled away. I thought he didn't understand what I said, but he was thinking about it.After staying for a while, he said: You mean to call us a revolution? I nodded; I didn't expect him to know such two words. Naturally, I forgot the number of revolutions in the cat country for a while. Needless to say that, no one will believe it anymore!After the revolution, we lost some things, and none of them were not broken.Let’s take that time when everyone shared the property equally, everyone was happy; but each person only shared a little land, which was not enough to plant more than a dozen lost trees; They can't help it; they, especially the young ones, try to do it, but they don't care whether we are hungry or not.The methods of relieving hunger are all foolish methods.We no longer believe what they say, and we can’t think of an idea ourselves. We are just whoever eats the leaves and whoever serves as a soldier; now we are not even allowed to be soldiers.Telling us to fight against foreigners means killing us. Can we still serve as soldiers and eat lost leaves if we are killed?They have piles of leaves and wives, and now we are not even allowed to eat the broken leaves, telling us to go to war with foreigners, and we will have to die.

Now you run back just to kill him?I pointed to Xiaoxie and asked. Designed to kill him!He told us to go to war, and he forbade us to have the national soul given by foreigners! So what if he was killed?I asked. He stopped talking. Xiaoxie is the first cat person who understands in my experience, and everyone hates him like this; naturally, I don't have the time, and explain to the soldier that Xiaoxie is not the person he should hate.He mistook Xiaoxie as a representative of the official class, but he had no way to defeat that class, so he just wanted to kill Xiaoxie to vent his anger.This made me understand the real reason for the decline and fall of a cat country: Some clever people want to guide the people to revolution, but they don’t have the necessary knowledge for construction, so they are wrapped in a whirlwind because they want to solve political and economic problems; the people After so many revolutions, they have class consciousness but are stupid and ignorant. They only know that they have been deceived and there is nothing they can do.Confused up and down, confused together, this is the fatal injury of the cat country!Those with this injury will not make them grit their teeth and stand up to resist even if they are stimulated by the pain of subjugation.

How to deal with this soldier?That's a problem.If we let him go, he may go back and send troops to kill Xiaoxie; if we ask him to stay with us, he is not a good partner.Also, where should we go? It's getting late, and it seems we should make up our minds.Xiaoxie's demeanor seemed to tell me: He only wants to die quickly, and there is no need to discuss anything with him.Fans naturally have no claims.I want to try my best to prevent Xiaoxie's death. I know it won't benefit him, but from a human standpoint, I have to do it this way.Where are you going?Going back to Cat City is dangerous; going west?It's just throwing yourself into the trap, how can you know that the enemy is not going here now!After thinking about it for a long time, it seems that going to a foreign city is the surest solution. But Xiaoxie shook his head.Yes, he is willing to die.He also refused to lose that face.He told me to let the soldier go: let him go! I had no choice but to go with him.I released that pawn. It was getting dark; strange, terrible, silence!You must know in your heart that there is no one around, you must know that there are many routs in the distance, you must know that there are enemies attacking in front of you, this silence seems to be waiting for the outbreak of a storm on a deserted island, the more you meditate, the more nervous you feel.Naturally, the cat country is destroyed, I can go to other countries, but for my friend, Xiaoxie, imagine, my heart seems to be broken!How miserable it is to live in a dilapidated house on the night of subjugation.Even for fans, now I can't bear to part with her.Only when the country is subjugated do we realize how important the relationship between a person and a nation is!Naturally, this has nothing to do with me, but I have to think for Xiaoxie and Mi, so that I can go deep into their hearts and share some of their pain; it is useless to comfort them, the demise of the country is the result of national stupidity, what words to use To comfort a person or two?The subjugation of a country is not a tragedy to relieve depression, and the subjugation of a country is not a metaphor of justice for a poet. It is a fact and an iron history. How can we explain the facts purely with some emotional words!I am not reading a book, I am listening to the footsteps of death!My two friends certainly heard it better than I did.They are cursing, maybe sweetly reminiscing about their past; they only have the past but no future.Theirs is now the greatest shame of humanity is crystallizing. The sky is still so dark, the stars are still so bright, everything is still so quiet, only the eyes on the eve of subjugation cannot be closed firmly.I know they are awake, and they also know that I am not asleep, but no one can speak, their tongues seem to be pinched by the fingers of destruction, and people and nations are never allowed to speak again.The world is dumb again with a culture whose last dream is the singing of freedom that is too late.It will never wake up again.Its soul can only go to hell, because its record in life is a blot on history.
