Years ago, a cinema opened on the street.
The introduction to "Tunnel Warfare" was placed in front of the door, attracting Qiuhua's attention.
In fact, she had seen this movie before. It was shown in the open-air cinemas in the village before, and she could not forget the inspiring scenes in the movie.
The villagers lifted up the stove and hid inside, leaving the Japanese with nothing to hide.
When the Japanese soldiers hid in the tunnel, the villagers caught them off guard, surrounded and intercepted them, and beat them so hard that they fled in panic!
It’s so exciting!
Look, Qiuhua and Zhao Meiying came out of the cinema again, discussing the plot enthusiastically, laughing and having a great time!
When they came out, it was already dark. The two little mermaids walked together, chirping and not at all afraid of the coming night.
"It's so beautiful! How could they dig the tunnel so well and so skillfully?" Qiuhua didn't feel cold at all after just coming out of the warm movie theater.
"This is called... the wisdom of the people!"
"Haha, it's Zhao Meiying who has studied after all!"
The two of them talked and laughed as they walked, and soon they turned from the main road to the small road on their bicycles.
The road was lined with mulberry trees on both sides. It was narrow and uneven. It was dark and the road was difficult to see clearly, so Zhao Meiying had to get off and push the cart.
Originally, Mom didn't agree with Qiuhua going out to see a movie at night, but Zhao Meiying said she wanted to go together, thinking that it should be fine for the two of them to go together.
"Meiying, you will graduate next June. What are you going to do after graduation?"
Qiuhua walked beside her. The shadows cast by the mulberry trees on both sides made it impossible for her to see the road clearly. She walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
"Well... I'm planning to come back to teach, and..."
"what else?"
"What did you say? Haven't Xu Guoqing and I been engaged for almost three years?"
Zhao Meiying laughed at Qiuhua for being silly and chuckled to herself.
"Is the date set?" Qiuhua was happy from the bottom of her heart.
"Yeah, it's settled. We'll just have to wait until the weather gets cooler, in September."
Qiuhua witnessed Zhao Meiying's entire love period!
"That's great..." As she was speaking, a rustling sound came from the mulberry field. Qiuhua stopped talking and a feeling of fear rose in her heart.
"Meiying, did you hear any sound?"
She asked with a trembling voice.
"Oh, you're such a coward! Maybe a rabbit ran by in the mulberry field!" She leaned closer to Qiuhua and said, "It's okay. We'll be home soon. We know everyone around here. What are you afraid of?"
Qiuhua thought what Meiying said made sense and felt relieved. Then a rustling sound came from the mulberry field again, and there seemed to be a dark shadow.
This rabbit is quite big!
But are there rabbits in such a cold day?
"Ah--" Qiuhua almost stepped into the ditch, lost his balance, and staggered forward.
Zhao Meiying tried to support her with one hand, but was almost pulled down as well.
Suddenly, she felt two hands on her calves, and before she knew it, she fell forward, hitting her forehead on the bicycle handlebars.
With a thud, Zhao Meiying felt a warm liquid flowing down her forehead, and a dull pain spread to her entire head.
"Meiying! Mei... um..."
A dark shadow appeared beside her, covered Qiuhua's mouth with one hand, and hooked her neck with the other hand and dragged her into the mulberry field.
There are two of them!
The man was very strong and gasped for breath. His arms, like iron clamps, made it hard for her to breathe. She was dragged all the way to the mulberry field, and her legs were scratched by the tree stumps and stones in the field.
Qiuhua felt like a chicken waiting to be slaughtered, with no power to resist.
Bang—she was thrown to the ground, two legs pressed down on her stomach like a mountain, and a hand reached out to pull her collar.
At this moment, Qiuhua's mouth was free!
“Help! Help!”
She screamed desperately and slapped him with all her strength, a huge sense of fear enveloping her.
“Pah!”
Two slaps hit her face, and the world spun around her. She felt despair and trembled all over. Tears and snot flowed uncontrollably.
“Sizzle—”
There was a void in her chest, and the coldness invaded her, causing her to shiver even more violently.
At this moment, Qiuhua kept repeating in his head: Where is Meiying? Where is Meiying?
She seemed to vaguely hear Meiying's cry for help and crying. The weight on her stomach made her almost vomit. Without clothes on her chest and shoulders, she was shaking like a sieve.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, the man paused and fell heavily towards Qiuhua.
She was pinned down, so frightened that she couldn't even cry.
"Qiuhua! Qiuhua! It's me!"
The person on her body was turned over and rolled to the side. She could not see clearly who it was. The person called her name and helped her pick up her clothes.
"Pa!" Qiuhua slapped him in the face and yelled, "Get out! Get out! Help! --"
"Qiuhua! It's me! Look carefully, it's me! Wu Xin!"
He shook her shoulders vigorously, and when she calmed down, she looked at him again and again, and the next second she threw herself into his arms.
"Why are you here... wuwuwu... Why are you so late... I thought I was done..."
Qiuhua cried breathlessly, trembling in Wu Xinli's arms. He held her tightly. A dull pain raged in his heart.
Suddenly, Qiuhua pushed Wu Xin away and said in horror: "Where's Meiying! Meiying was with me, where is she?"
"Don't be afraid. Xu Guoqing and I came here together. We saw the bicycle and heard your shouts. He went to look for Meiying."
When the two men walked out of the mulberry field, they heard Xu Guoqing's shouting.
"Meiying! Meiying! Where are you——"
Qiu Hua grabbed Wu Xin's arm in fear and asked, "What happened? Why didn't he find Mei Ying?"
As she said this, she was about to go to the mulberry field. Wu Xin knew that he couldn't stop her, so he supported her and went to look for it together.
After a long time, the three finally found Zhao Meiying behind a pile of weeds. She was trembling with fear, like a little rabbit that had just been rescued by a hunter.
Wu Xin was guarding not far away, while Qiuhua and Xu Guoqing walked forward.
Her face was covered in blood, and you could smell the smell of rust as soon as you walked in. Her pants had dropped to her knees, and she was like a piece of wood, neither crying nor laughing.
"Meiying! Meiying!" No matter how Qiuhua called her, she did not respond.
Xu Guoqing squatted down and used his sleeve to wipe the blood off her face. Zhao Meiying looked at him blankly, her eyes full of brilliance.
She hugged Xu Guoqing and cried loudly, while Qiuhua also burst into tears beside her.
"Meiying, what did he do to you? Did he..."
The two separated, and Zhao Meiying looked at him in disbelief. Was this the only issue he cared about?
“Bang!”
A slap hit Xu Guoqing hard in the face.
