"Beast, beast, how can there be such a cruel person." Xu Kai gritted his teeth and cursed.
One word caused a thousand ripples, and more and more people joined in the cursing.
Zeng Zhipeng saw that both sides were extremely emotional and clasped his fists in a martial arts salute towards Lu Changgong and the others. "Thank you all for speaking out for justice. We have been harassed and slaughtered by the Japanese for decades. Our brothers and sisters have been brutally murdered by the Japanese slaves, and our homes have been destroyed by those beasts. There is no safe place on earth."
"In such a vast country like Dai Viet, there is no place for us to settle down. All the villages within a radius of five miles have been invaded and harmed by the Japanese."
"Day after day, year after year, our numbers dwindled. If we didn't find a way to protect ourselves, we might be wiped out. So my father, the previous head of Meijiang Village, had the idea to build our home underground."
"My father felt that underground was safer than above ground, so he led men, women, and children to dig day and night."
"It's just that the brute force of digging has resulted in many uncles being buried."
Zeng Zhipeng was still young at that time, but the memory is still deeply imprinted in his mind.
He even remembered that his uncles, aunts and uncles ignored their sadness, wiped away their tears and continued digging.
He once asked his father in ignorance, "So many people have died, why do we still need to dig? The more we dig, the more people will die."
He will always remember his father's wailing face, sad expression, and eyes full of hope.
He said, "Even if it means sacrificing many lives, we must dig a shelter underneath. We cannot retreat because we are afraid of sacrifice. If we retreat, our race may be exterminated by the Japanese."
"If the tribe that we sacrificed can continue, even if only a few people are left, we still have hope, we still have hope of making a comeback."
Although he was still young at that time and didn't understand much, as he saw his ancestors risking their lives to dig the cave, and as he grew older, he finally understood the meaning of the old village chief's words.
If the sacrifice can save the younger generations from harm, or even use them properly to kill the Japanese invaders, it is worth it.
The old village chief led the villagers to learn lessons from the failures and sacrifices of their predecessors, and to adjust, improve, improve and adjust again.
After countless sacrifices, the shelter was finally dug.
It was not until the old village chief died that Zeng Zhipeng took over the position of village chief. Under his leadership, the shelter was improved and became safe, solid and unbreakable.
He built the underground shelter into a network of tunnels with numerous exits, with the aim of ensuring that when the Japanese invaders came again, they would be killed in Dai Viet.
To pay tribute to our ancestors who sacrificed their lives.
Sure enough, since the underground shelter was improved by Zeng Zhipeng, the Japanese invaded again and they were all killed in a mysterious way.
From then on, the Japanese invaders never had a good time in Meijiang Village again. Zeng Zhipeng explained the origin of the shelter and tunnel from beginning to end.
Zeng Zhixuan's eyes were red as he choked up, "Before the Japanese invaders came, my eldest brother took us to train. We went up mountains and down rivers, through cold and heat, even when we were hungry, and we never stopped training."
"My brother said that only with a strong physique and agile skills can we not only protect ourselves but also make sure that the Japanese invaders will not return when they come again."
Upon hearing this, Lu Changgong patted Zeng Zhixuan in appreciation.
He looked at Zeng Zhipeng again, with more admiration in his eyes.
Zeng Zhipeng has surpassed most soldiers in terms of his knowledge, his mind, and his intelligence. As a person in power, he is undoubtedly successful.
As a man, he is also a real man who stands tall and upright.
Su Sijin naturally admired Zeng Zhipeng and the ancestors of Meijiang Village. As a man of great righteousness, his clan would surely rise rapidly and continue to grow.
The conditions here are just a little bit difficult, but fortunately, the people here are honest, kind, loyal and brave.
Zeng Zhipeng left an 80% good impression on her when they first met, and the remaining 20% was due to her curiosity about the underground shelter and tunnels, as well as the overgrown weeds that looked like a wasteland.
Who would have thought that although it looked like a wasteland, there was actually another world underneath.
Su Sijin couldn't wait to find out what was going on, so she ignored her reserve and said, "Village Chief Zeng, can we visit your shelter?"
She knew that what she was doing was a bit unreasonable, but as a military doctor in her previous life, she had seen a lot of tunnels.
I thought Zeng Zhipeng would refuse, but unexpectedly he agreed readily.
"Of course, but not everyone can go down. It's okay to take a few people with you."
Although Tang Peng looks a bit straightforward and simple-minded, he was able to lead his people to improve the shelter and defeat the Japanese invaders, and he also made his people respect him. He is not as simple as he seems.
Therefore, seeing is not necessarily believing.
Use your heart to understand your inner self.
"I'll go with you! Yunyu and Tang Jieren will wait for us." The underground shelter is for others to save their lives, so it's not convenient to let more people spy on it.
As a soldier, Lu Changgong was also curious about the structure of the underground shelter and their elusive disguise.
Zeng Zhipeng waved his hand, and the people around him walked away, and then disappeared from Su Sijin's sight out of thin air.
Su Sijin widened her eyes in shock. She disappeared out of thin air because of cheating, but the villagers of Meijiang Village were different. They did it with their own abilities.
Even if she didn't get a glimpse into the structure of the underground shelter, her curiosity was already piqued.
She couldn't wait to urge, "Village Chief Zeng, why don't we hurry up."
Zeng Zhipeng walked in front with a smile, leading the way and giving instructions.
