I really don't want to be a novelist

Chapter 307
"There was a famine in the early years. I was still young at that time. I couldn't bear it anymore. The leaves of the mulberry tree at the door of the house were all eaten up."

"First my mother died, and then my younger sister. When it was my turn, my father couldn't stand it anymore, so he sold the last piece of land in the family and sold it to the landlord."

The oldest soldier was less than 30 years old, leaning against the temple wall of the dilapidated mountain temple, he gave a brief talk to the strange visitor.

"...my mother held my father's hand when she died, and told my father that the last land must not be sold. If you don't sell it, if you survive it, there will be some people living in the house this year. If you sell it, you can live I can’t survive this year and next year... In the end, it was sold. A little food was exchanged... Relying on that little food and grass roots and bark, I survived that year... And then, without land, my father and I became A tenant who has become a landlord... It's okay to be a tenant, and you can barely survive... But at this time, wars broke out. We also had a commander and marshal in our place, who collected taxes and grain from the land, and then the commander was defeated. Now, another commander came, and then there was another tax to be paid. The half of the food left in the house was also searched and taken away.

My father fell on the bed, his whole body was very swollen, the sides of his face were swollen and shiny, his eyeballs were also swollen, and he was confused.

I didn't have the energy anymore, I didn't even have the energy to peel the bark, and I didn't have the bark to peel... It was still autumn at that time, and there was still a thick dress in the house.I just wanted to exchange it for something to eat, at least let my dad have something to eat before he left. "

The strange visitor covered the old military uniform, leaned against the temple wall, and listened.

The older warrior scratched his hair before continuing.

Beside, the platoon leader sitting at the gate of the temple, and the two soldiers leaning against the wall also listened.

"Before leaving the village, those beasts came to arrest the strong men. The landlord led the way, pointed at me, and arrested me."

"I said my father was still in the house. If it is impossible, let me go back and bury my father. No one responded to me, as if no one heard it. It was indeed noisy, and the other strong men who were arrested were almost crying of."

"And then, it was like driving a pig. They were driven away all the way to the place where the strong men gathered. On the way, they had no food or clothing. Those who were sick, those who were not acclimatized to the environment, were beaten to death, and more than half of them died on the way... I At first I looked like I was going to die, but I survived hard... Then I was sent to the battlefield, I shot when others shot, and I followed others when they walked, luckily I didn't die... Followed those people to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army once , probably being anti-surrounded.

The army was defeated and I ran away.

But after running not far, he was caught again by the Eighth Route Army.

Then in the prison camp, I learned what the Eighth Route Army is and why we are fighting!
I don't know anything else, I just recognize one thing.There is a base in our hometown, and the land in our hometown is allotted... Although my parents are dead long ago... It would be great if my parents were still there. "

"...I have to fight for the Eighth Route Army! It doesn't matter if I die...the land in our hands can't be taken away!"

In the end, the elder warrior's eyes lit up, showing an unusually firm belief.

Then he paused, then leaned against the temple wall with the gun in his arms, and did not speak again.

The strange visitor paused, looking at the look in the eyes of the older soldier just now, he seemed to be shocked,
I didn't speak for a long time.

Another soldier next to him will speak again at this time.

Previously, he rarely spoke.

Even if the platoon leader talked with the elder and the youngest soldier one after another,

He just listened quietly most of the time.

"Then let me say it too. Before I joined the army, I was a student. I believed in our doctrine, so I joined the army."

The soldier's words were short and crisp.

"At first I was a clerk in the regiment headquarters, and then I applied to become a soldier myself."

"There's no reason. It's just that I firmly believe that we can win the final victory. It's not the beasts opposite us."

"If there's one team that can come out on top and create a new, better world, it's us.

Not those who put ordinary people in front of them and let ordinary people take bullets for them. "

"I am willing to fight to create a new world and sacrifice everything, including my life!"

"We have nothing! But we must be the masters of the world."

The warrior's words were not heavy, but they were extremely firm, as if he was repeating a belief that had been confirmed countless times.

"must!"

The strange visitor also said this with an inexplicable affirmation.

The warrior looked at the strange visitor again, closed his eyes, and leaned against the temple wall.

"...Well, I'm not that complicated. I was my father who was killed by the devil. My mother said that the Eighth Route Army is the real army. Let me work hard with the Eighth Route Army, and I'm here."

The youngest soldier looked a few years younger than the strange visitor,

Seeing his two comrades in arms said one after another, he looked around and said aloud,

"My father used to carry big bags by the water, but he was crushed. One day when he came back, his ears, nose, and eyes were bleeding. He asked the doctor to see him, and he said he couldn't do heavy work any more. How long... But my father still went to work for a while, until he couldn't move, and others didn't want him... Then he grew vegetables and sold them in the city... When he went to sell vegetables on the street that day, he gave The devil drove a car and killed him... People in the village said that they chased my father to play. My father ran to the left, and they turned to the left. My father ran to the right, and they turned to the right... In the end, my father had no place After running away, the devil was still pointing a gun at him, so he could only stand still and get hit.

He was run over by a car and didn't die. After returning home, he was in pain for two days before he died. "

The young soldier squatted up, and said aloud while squatting.

The two fighters next to him, although one was resting with his eyes closed, both of them clenched their fists.

"...my mother cried and went blind...and then she died. Before she died, my mother asked me to join the army and let us follow the army, so I came."

The young warrior crouched and said,

"Hey... Later I killed a lot of devils."

"Comrade, tell me, will we win in the end? Will we win?"

"I don't know if I will win, but I know that if we are gone, there is no hope... So if we can win, I can die."

The youngest fighter also scratched his head.

"Definitely win!"

The strange visitor said inexplicably firmly.

"Hey...you, you don't know what's going on in the future, so why are you so sure."

The young soldier couldn't help laughing at the strange man's affirmative answer.

The strange visitor opened his mouth, but said nothing.

"We can definitely win, and we have no reason not to win."

Finally, the soldier next to him said equally firmly.

"Um……"

The young warrior answered,

Then he leaned against the temple wall with the gun in his hand, raised his head and didn't know what to think.

The last to speak was the platoon leader,
The platoon leader sitting at the gate of the temple waited for the three soldiers to finish speaking,

After being silent for a while, he spoke out.

"I am the son of a bandit."

After saying a word, and then paused again, the platoon leader said,
"In the early years, my father was a farmer, and there were a few acres of land in the house. With intensive cultivation, it was barely enough for the house to eat."

"After natural and man-made disasters, wars, land and food were gone, my father went up to the mountains and became a bandit.

And my mother died before my father went up the mountain.

The bandits on the mountain also robbed the soil below the mountain haha, the peasants below the mountain had no food to eat, and the bandits on the mountain couldn’t get enough to eat. As for the rich landlords, they didn’t need the army of the commander and marshal, and the bandits on the mountain couldn’t rob them.Not to mention guns on the mountain, there are not even many knives. The bandits who rob are all carrying hoes and poles. "

"Later, more and more bandits went up the mountain, and the bandits who blocked the road and robbed couldn't survive anymore.

At that time, I felt a kind of inexplicable strangeness. Obviously, I was also a person who was forced to die, but went to rob other people who couldn't survive.They are obviously the people who are forced to live by the landlords and warlords. They don't resist the landlords, but they rob other people who are oppressed by the landlords and warlords... I can't figure it out...

Then my father died... The bandits on the mountain were so hungry that they rushed into a big family at the foot of the mountain to grab food. They did rob some when there were so many people. People rushed in, and those inside beat out, waiting for the food to be grabbed, and my father was trampled to death on the ground.

After that, I went down the mountain, walked all the way... finally saw our troops, figured it out, and joined the troops. "

After the platoon leader finished speaking, the dilapidated mountain temple became quiet again.

"...Comrade, you ask this, do you want to join us?"

It was the youngest soldier who asked this question, and he asked aloud with some curiosity in his eyes.

"Um……"

The strange visitor paused, then nodded.

"...Comrade, you don't need to listen to his random questions. I think you are also a rich man, and he just asks random questions. If you really have an idea, you can just find our army when you think it over.

Wait for the dawn, see if there is a chance, we will still help you take it down the mountain.But we don't know the way here..."

The platoon leader took the words and said, and fell silent again.

In the ruined temple, calm down for a while,
In the end, it was the youngest soldier who spoke out.

"...Well, comrade, can you tell us again, what will happen in the future? It's what you just said."

"That's right, can you tell me more about what you eat? It's about military rations."

The other two soldiers also opened their eyes again, and looked at the strange visitor.

"it is good!"

Hidden in the shabby military uniform covering his body, the strange visitor met the eyes of the three soldiers and nodded heavily.

"...The kind of car in the city, have you all seen it?"

"We will have more and better ones in the future, and we can make them ourselves."

"Just that kind of electric light, every household can afford it, and every household is lit at night, and it is still on in the middle of the night."

"That's great, there really is such a world... But what are you doing with the lights on in the middle of the night?"

"You're right, eat supper, I heard that some wealthy city people eat four meals a day, unlike us in the countryside who eat two meals a day. Comrade, don't you think so?"

"Uh-huh."

"You said you eat four meals a day, so what should you eat? Comrade, there should be meat."

"Yes, there are duck, chicken, beef, pork, and lamb."

"Beef? Do you also eat beef? You don't like to eat beef. If you eat cattle, how can you plow the land? Our landlord has a cow, which looks like a treasure."

"Hey, you said you, Comrade Xiao just said it. It's such a good time. There must be special beef cattle to eat. The cattle on the cultivated land must be different. Are you a comrade?"

"Well... At that time, cattle were no longer used. Machines, like cars, were used to drive in the field, and machines were used to plow the soil."

"Use a cart to pull a plow?"

"Well, almost."

"That's great, how fast the cart runs, and the ox plows so much faster."

"That...comrade, you don't have to be so serious...Actually, I just want to hear what to eat...Tell me more about the military rations."

"At that time, what should the army eat?"

"The little comrade just said that if you can cook now and have dry food, there must be a lot of food..."

As they spoke, the three soldiers looked at the strange visitor again,

I just want this strange visitor to describe the food to them.

The platoon leader also turned his head slightly.

"Hmm... There's a lot to eat... Braised pork belly in soy sauce, and it's fried in sugar."

"That's not the same as what a chef in a restaurant does."

"Hmm... There are twice-cooked pork, fried pork, roast chicken..."

"Is there any rice? With so many dishes, the rice must be delicious. Do you have white flour steamed buns?"

"Yes, there is a big pot of white rice, and the steamed buns are also picked up, you can take whatever you want..."

"Gollum..."

A soldier's stomach rumbled, and he swallowed again.

The strange person stopped talking.

"Would you like to talk about something else?"

"It's okay, it's okay, just talk about this, hehe, I like to listen... It feels like a dream."

"Little Comrade, what you said is really good! Our future country will definitely be a country where everyone can eat white flour, steamed buns and white rice, and also wear warm clothes!"

"Comrade, you are right... Hey, I feel that there are more reasons for fighting... Our country in the future will definitely be built like this... Although what you said feels quite... that is, it feels far away Yes, but we're sure we can..."

"That... Comrade, go ahead... I feel like I'm about to smell that scent... Although I can't eat it, but listening to you, I will eat it,"

"Okay, let me tell you..."

"There are also fried shredded potatoes, stir-fried with sour peppers, hot and sour potato shreds, stir-fried a pot full... When the training is late, everyone will line up to serve rice, and eat it..."

"You can eat as much as you want."

"Then I have to eat too much! Hey, there are so many delicious foods, I have to eat so much that I can't get up."

"Stupid! Comrade that man said it all. He ate it every day at that time. Do you still have such a big appetite?"

"Yes, also...hehe..."

The three soldiers were leaning against the temple wall, and the platoon leader was sitting at the gate of the temple, all eating seriously.

I can't help but imagine beautifully following the words of this strange visitor.

"...And then... talking about food and clothing, what did the military uniform look like back then, shouldn't it have changed?"

"It must have changed. Is it possible that you haven't changed your clothes for so many years?"

"Well, it has changed... But our star has not changed, the five-pointed star will always be there."

"That's not... the clothes should be beautiful then, right?"

"Well, beautiful! Very good-looking!"

"Hey... Comrade, you say this with such certainty that it's as if you've seen it. We can't even imagine it in our dreams."

"Comrade, you know, in fact, I don't know whether we can win... But I'm not afraid, even if we lose, there will be people who come later... We will win sooner or later, because we are right. Do you think so? Comrade?"

"Yes! Comrade!"

……

"Comrade? Comrade?"

"Why didn't you see that little comrade? He was still there not long ago!"

"Look around! Look around."

"I didn't find it... Maybe it's dawn, I know the way, so I went down the mountain."

"Well... that might be it. Then let's go too, and hurry up to meet the big troops."

"...Do you think that the little comrade said that it is possible in the future?"

……

"Comrade? Comrade?"

"Wake up, wake up...why did you sleep here? It's so late at night, why did you still sleep in front of the grave?"

"It's all foggy and dewy. You'll get sick if you sleep here all night. Get up quickly and go home."
