Chapter 78

Although the room I went to was still lit with candles in broad daylight, the light was still surprisingly dark. First, all the windows are covered with paper, so the light outside can't get in; Second, it's too little to light a candle in such a big room.

There was only a rickety wooden bed in the room. On the bed lay a young girl with black hair. Maybe because she had been ill for too long, she didn't have any good looking meat on her face. At first glance, she looked like a skeleton wrapped in skin. Pale eyes without any light, so fixed looking at the roof. I would have thought there was a dead man lying on the bed if she hadn't groaned once or twice.

Before I could speak, the door was suddenly pushed open with a bang, and seven or eight uniformed people rushed in from the outside, startling me. I fixed my eyes and saw that the people who came in were all wearing Soviet uniforms. I was relieved, patted my heart and said with self mockery: Fortunately, you burst in like this, but I was scared. I thought it was German. After that, I'll take a closer look. I don't know any of these people.

"Who are you? How can you break into other people's homes so casually I asked these intruders loudly, but they didn't answer me. Instead, they fell on the girl lying on the bed.

"Comrade captain, this girl is still alive. What should we do?" The first two men raised the girl lying on the bed and turned to look at the person behind. The team leader went forward to have a look, and then said in an indifferent tone: "even if you don't die, you can't live for a few days. Let's carry it out first."

"Please, give me something to eat, I don't want to die, I want to live!" The girl pleaded with those who carried her in a weak voice.

"Stop! Who are you and what do you want to do? " Although I didn't understand what was going on, I couldn't see any more, so I stood up to stop them and blocked their way. I didn't know that those people turned a blind eye to me and directly carried the girl out of the room. I found that they walked past me well and walked through my body. Oh, my God! What's going on? I stopped and was stunned.

At this time, the roar from outside attracted my attention. When I looked out of the door, I saw a man suddenly rushing at the uniformed people like an angry lion. Then there was a crackling sound and a hysterical curse.

"Pa! Bang After two clear shots, everything returned to calm. I rushed to the door and looked down. A bearded little old man was lying on the floor beside the door. He was staring at me, holding a stick tightly in his hand. His white shirt was dyed red by the blood coming out of his chest.

I looked up into the distance and saw those people throw the girl into a carriage with baffle. Although it was more than 20 meters away, I still saw that the carriage was full of corpses, all of them were as skinny as girls.

"Comrade captain!" There was a cry from a man on the right. I turned around and saw seven or eight uniformed people with long guns in their hands, escorting more than a dozen bound countrymen to this side.

"What's the matter? Thank you, Liao Sha The captain asked impatiently the man who had just called him.

The man named Xie liaosha came forward to salute the captain respectfully, and then said, "we just caught more than a dozen rich peasants. What do you want to do with them?"

"What else can we do? We'll follow the old rules!"

"But you see there are women and children in it!"

"Xie liaosha, aren't you awake from today's wine? As long as they are rich peasants, even women and children, they must be eliminated mercilessly. Do you understand? "

"Yes Xie liaosha agreed, turned and ran back to his team, and called for people to pull the bunch of rich peasants to the wall of a house and stand. Then the uniformed man stepped back, raised his rifle indifferently, and aimed at the people standing by the wall.

I can't help but rush to stand in the middle of the two groups. Facing the black muzzle, I calmly stretched out my hands and blocked the so-called "rich peasants" who were standing by the wall behind me. I yelled from the people in uniform, "stop, you can't do this!"

No one paid any attention to me. The team leader drove several carriages out of the village. Only Xie liaosha continued to shout the command to his subordinates: "everyone, listen to my command, aim at the enemy in front, prepare ~ ~"

"Mom! I'm afraid! I'm afraid ~ ~! " Behind me came the cry of a little girl. I couldn't help looking back. A young woman with a headscarf was holding an eight or nine year old girl in her arms and coaxing her with a strong smile: "Yiyang Na, be good! Don't be afraid, mother is here. You close your eyes quickly, and you won't be afraid if you close them! "

"Let it go At Xie liaosha's command, seven or eight rifles opened fire together. I saw six men leaning against the wall, first burst out a cloud of blood mist on their chest, then fell back and slowly slid to the ground against the wall. Before the smoke of gunfire left, the second round of gunfire started again. The other five women who fell this time, Yi Yangna's mother, was shot in the back. She used her body to block the evil bullet for her child.

"All right, line up and go." Xie liaosha saw that the shooting task had been completed, and he didn't come to check it, so he called on all the people to catch up with the captain.

I went to Yi Yang Na's mother, who was lying in a pool of blood. I squatted down and carefully looked at the child she held in her arms. Yi Yang Na was closing her eyes, holding her mother's clothes tightly and sobbing in a low voice. I wanted to comfort her, so I reached over and touched her face. I didn't know it was empty. I can't help but wonder what's going on. It seems that no one else can see me, and even pass through my body. Am I out of my body again? But where is this? Why did the Soviet Army shoot and kill its own people?

In order to find out this series of questions, I stood up and ran after the captain and Xie liaosha. After about a kilometer, I finally caught up with this strange team. They stopped in front of a ditch in the wilderness, where several people were still standing. The captain made the others stop, and then he ran alone. Although it's far away, I can still hear him clearly. He is reporting to one of the big eaves hats with the rank of political worker: "Comrade military commissar, the 97th corpse collection team has come to report to you. Please give us your instructions!"

Corpse team?! I'm at a loss. What's going on? Am I in another era? In order to find out what happened, I had to listen patiently.

"How many bodies have you collected this time?" Asked the big hat.

"There are 49."

The big eaves hat nodded, then said to a soldier with a book and pen in his hand beside him, "write it down. The 97th corpse collection team has collected 49 corpses today. According to the standard of 200 grams of bread for each corpse, they should be rewarded with 9800 grams of bread." Then he told the captain, "unload the bodies and throw them into the pit."

The team leader agreed and ran to his teammates quickly, shouting: "unload the bodies and throw them into the pit." When the members of the corpse collection team heard the captain's cry, several people climbed onto the carriage one after another, lifted the corpses inside and threw them to the ground like wood. The people standing below lifted the body up from the ground and carried it to the ditch to throw it away.

In the process of carrying the body, I clearly heard the girl pleading with them in a weak voice: "please, I'm not dead. Don't throw me into the pit. I want to live." But they didn't pay any attention and threw the girl into the body pile in the ditch.

I didn't have the ability to stop this human tragedy. I couldn't even save the innocent girl. When I thought about it, my heart was like a knife. I burst into tears.

I don't know how I got back to that small village. As soon as I got outside the original house, I saw a middle-aged woman with a headscarf crying on the old man who died at the door. I stopped in the same place, silently looking at the crying woman. At this time, in the pile of corpses beside the wall came the voice of Xiao Yi Yang Na: "aunt ayuna! Is that you? "

The woman raised her head from the body and looked at the sound. At this time, the little girl's voice rang again: "Auntie ayuna, is that you?"

"It's me, it's me!" The woman stood up, while wiping tears, while quickly walking to the corpse pile past, loudly promised each other: "according to Yang Na, where are you?"

"I'm under my mother's body. Please come and help me."

The woman went to her mother, carefully turned her body over, pulled her from her arms, and held her tightly in her arms. "Poor child, my poor child!" he said Then she looked up at the sky and cried out, "Virgin Mary! What evil have we done? Why do you punish us like this? "

When she looked up, I could just see her face from my point of view, which surprised me. It turned out that this middle-aged woman was ayuna who led the German people to the village during the day.

I suddenly sat up from the bed, only to find that I had a strange dream, and everything in the dream is so real. I sat on the bed with my knees in my hands. After thinking about it, I found that this dream did not appear for no reason, but was related to the village Soviet committee member I met at night.

As soon as the middle-aged woman saw my face, she began to nag. She had been telling me about ayuna and iyana. Nine years ago, ayuna fled to this village with a nine-year-old yiyangna. They were pitiful, so they were taken into the farm. At the beginning, ayuna was quite honest. Over a long period of time, she often spread some reactionary remarks in the village to bewitch people.

I remember when she said this, Lu Jin interjected and asked, "which side of the reactionary speech?"

The middle-aged woman said: "what else can we do? She said that her family was originally in Ukraine. At the end of the year 32, there was a food shortage. The government organized a grain collection team to collect all the food left in the countryside. If anyone refuses to do so, he will be directly designated as a new rich peasant, and the members of the task force have the right to execute the death sentence on them. " Speaking of this, she added her own opinion: "Comrade commander, do you think our army will do such a thing? It's not her dissatisfaction with society that makes her vile. "

"What else? Go on. " I didn't want to pick up on her, so I urged him to continue“ Ayuna also said that because the grain was robbed by the grain collection team, people went to the forest to dig grass roots and bark to eat when they had no food. In winter, they began to starve. At first, only one or two people died. Later, families starved to death. So the government organized a corpse collection team to collect corpses from door to door and send them to the wilderness to bury them. At that time, her daughter was just dying of hunger and was dragged by the corpse collection team to be buried alive. The reason why the corpse collection team does this is that they can get 200 grams of bread for each corpse buried. " Lu Jin said at this time: "I've heard about the organization of corpse collection teams. However, shortly after the beginning of starvation, the government adopted a strict rationing system throughout the country, which soon helped us tide over the difficulties."“ It's true, comrade soldier. I know the same thing. It's said that Ukraine was the worst hit area of the great famine, and more than 100000 people died before and after it. But this evil ayuna made a rumor that the government concealed the real death toll. According to what she saw and heard on her way to escape from famine, it is estimated that thousands of people starve to death every day. Almost a quarter of the people in Ukraine starved to death during the whole famine“ To make a rumor is to make a rumor Lu Jin said indignantly, "such a person, why did the Soviet in your village ignore her?"“ Lukin, stop it. " I interrupted Lu Jin and prevented middle-aged women from trying to speak. So far, I have fully understood that the famine in my memory should not have happened in 1946, but at the end of 1932. In that great famine, nearly 10 million people in Ukraine were starved to death. In this way, I can understand why Yiyang Na and the Germans got mixed up so quickly. When ayouna found out that Yiyang Na was dead, why did she run to inform the Germans and take them to try to destroy us. What's more, during the whole Patriotic War, why there were so many Ukrainians in the puppet army? It seems that they were all caused by this damned famine. I was sitting in bed thinking, when there was a knock on the door“ Who is it? " I asked aloud“ Comrade commander, I'm Pavlov“ What can I do for you“ Let me tell you that the troops are assembled and ready to leave at any time. "“ I see. I'll be right there With that, I turned out of bed and began to dress.
