What a beautiful white lotus

Ye Rongqiu was so choked by the thick smoke from the explosion that he passed out, and he didn't know how long it took before he woke up in a daze.The black dog's hand went around his neck to his chest, and he held it tightly. He let go of that hand, pushed the arm around his neck away, and sat up.

The Japanese plane had already left, and there was only a piece of scorched earth left around, and the ground was full of dead people. These corpses were crackling and burning, and burning was the only sound on this quiet plain.

Ye Rongqiu looked at everything around him in disbelief, as if he was in a dream.A few seconds later, he woke up, and rushed over to check the condition of the black dog lying beside him.The black dog lay there quietly, unconscious, not knowing whether it was dead or alive.

"Black dog! Little black!" Ye Rongqiu hugged him with one hand, patted his face with the other, and shouted tremblingly: "Uncle Cousin! Wake up!"

The black dog still didn't respond.

Ye Rongqiu felt that his palms were wet, he let go of the black dog in horror, and then saw that his hands were full of blood: it was the blood of the black dog.

"Ah!!!" Ye Rongqiu screamed and backed away with his hands and feet.The black dog is dead, blown up by the Japanese, he thought.He started sobbing, feeling pain, and crawled up crying.He felt pain in his ankle, twisted when he fell down.

There was a huge burning monster on the road. Ye Rongqiu looked at it blankly for a while before he recognized that it was his car.A Japanese bomb was dropped next to the car, and the flying sparks ignited the fuel tank, and the car exploded. It was a more violent explosion than the Japanese bomb. Ye Rongqiu was fainted by the heat wave and fireworks produced by the car explosion.

Ye Rongqiu stumbled to the side of the car, and through the firelight, he saw a figure inside the car, sitting on the driver's seat with his head bowed, burning with the car—that was A Fei.When the Japanese army dropped bombs, the terrified A Fei got into the car, thinking that he could find a barrier to save his life, but he didn't expect that he was bound in a cocoon in the end.

Ye Rongqiu's mind went blank, he could only stare at the burning car in a daze.

Three or four people slowly crawled out from the dead people and the ditch beside the road. They were the few survivors of the bombing.These people looked at each other indifferently and then parted ways, some headed west, some headed east.When Ye Rongqiu saw a living person, his eyes finally brightened.He caught up with a man and asked the man, "Where are you going?"

The soldier said, "I went home to farm."

Ye Rongqiu became dazed again.Although there are still survivors in this disaster, those people have nothing to do with him.He was alone, in a strange place.It frightened him, worse than seeing the bomb go off.

Suddenly, with a crackling sound, a spark from a burning corpse at Ye Rongqiu's feet splashed onto Ye Rongqiu's trouser legs, and Ye Rongqiu felt his legs burn immediately, and his trousers burned.The fabric of the trousers is not flammable, and the sparks go out quickly.However, the sudden burst of sparks seemed to ignite something in Ye Rongqiu's body, causing him to scream crazily, then picked up a coat from the ground and tried to extinguish the fire on the corpse.

The fire was not extinguished by him, but it burned more and more.

Ye Rongqiu felt angry.Angry and powerless.The most uncomfortable thing was not anger, but powerlessness, which made him even more angry. He wanted to pick up a gun and shoot at the sky, but there was no target in the sky for him to shoot.He couldn't find an outlet.

What should he do now?

Suddenly, a hand rested on Ye Rongqiu's shoulder.Ye Rongqiu turned his head and saw the black dog standing behind him.Ye Rongqiu looked at the black dog in surprise, and then glanced at the place where the black dog was lying just now - it was empty.He froze for a moment, and turned his gaze back to the black dog: "You...you're not dead?"

The black dog thought that Ye Rongqiu was joking, because he always liked to make fun of him like this, but he knew in a second that it was not the case—Ye Rongqiu threw himself into his arms, strangled his neck hard and cried: "You Not dead! You are not dead!"

The black dog was happy, and patted his head: "Nephew, I'm fine."

Ye Rongqiu couldn't care less about airs now, and made no secret of his crazy joy, weeping with joy, tears and snot all over the black dog's dirty clothes.After a while, Ye Rongqiu calmed down, let go of the black dog with some embarrassment, pointed at the burning car and said, "A Fei is dead."

The black dog looked back and nodded.

Ye Rongqiu said again: "Your back is covered with blood."

The black dog took off his clothes. There was a long wound on his back, which was scratched by the iron pieces flying out when the car exploded. It was long but not deep.

Ye Rongqiu didn't realize his dependence, he just kept asking the black dog: "What should we do now?"

The black dog said, "See if there are any alive."

So the two began rummaging through the remains of the body for possible survivors.Ye Rongqiu, who didn't even want to be stained with mud just now, doesn't dislike it now, because he is already dirty enough—not disliked, those scorched earth and bloody pieces of meat made him afraid to vomit, but he knew it was not disgusting when.Ye Rongqiu is actually a stern guy, he likes to show his superiority when it doesn't matter, which makes him feel safe.His sense of superiority comes from the emptiness in his heart, but he is not ignorant.

The scene was very tragic, and the Japanese army had enough ammunition. The two platoons dropped more than a dozen bombs, and every three or four people could enjoy one bomb. It was a great honor for these recruits.Ye Rongqiu rummaged for a while, and felt that there would be no living people among these stumps, so he stared at the sky in a daze—except for the sky, he didn't know where else to put his eyes, and the rest were everywhere. An uncomfortable picture.

The black dog suddenly barked: "Come and help!"

Ye Rongqiu ran over quickly, and saw a black dog dragging out a man from under a corpse. This man was covered in blood and mud, and he couldn't see his original appearance, but his hands were trembling, and he was indeed alive.Ye Rongqiu and the black dog worked together to drag the man to the side of the road.

The black dog asked him, "Are you okay?"

The man whispered weakly: "It hurts..." He must have been in pain because everything below the knee on his right side was gone.

The black dog asked Ye Rongqiu: "Do you have any medicine that can stop the bleeding?"

Ye Rongqiu looked at the burning car helplessly: "In the car." Not only the medicine, but also his food, money, change of clothes and other supplies are all in the car, which will soon be reduced to ashes.

The black dog had no choice but to tie up the man's broken leg with the jacket he took off just now.Ye Rongqiu wiped the mud and blood off the man's face with his hands, and was taken aback for a moment: "It's you?"

This person was the officer who ordered the peasant soldiers to push carts for Ye Rongqiu and the others just now.The officer smiled reluctantly at Ye Rongqiu, and asked him: "Is my leg missing?"

Ye Rongqiu bit his lip in embarrassment and didn't know how to answer.

"Still." The black dog relieved Ye Rongqiu.A few seconds later, he added, "Just a little bit shorter."

The officer smiled again: "Thank you."

After the black dog pierced the officer's leg, he ran to another place to look for the living, but nothing was found - those who were still alive had already got up and left by themselves, leaving only the officer with a broken leg who couldn't get up.

No one was found, and the black dog started looking for things again.He tried to pick up a few guns, but he found that among the dozens of people, there were very few guns, and the guns on their bodies had no bullets.In the end, he picked up a few damaged clothes, food and water and came back.

The black dog stuffed things to Ye Rongqiu, but Ye Rongqiu didn't want to pick up those bloody things: "Why do you pick up dead people's things?"

The black dog didn't bother to explain to him, so he forced something into his hand, and then carried the officer on his back: "Master, I'll carry you to the hospital."

However, the officer also objected to his behavior of stripping the dead man's clothes: "They are soldiers."

The black dog said, "They are dead people, but we are living people."

The officer had nothing to say.When he was carried on his back by the black dog, he coughed weakly twice, and then said: "Ouyang Qing, from Tianjin, second lieutenant platoon leader of the [-]th Division's transportation battalion. Thank you."

The black dog froze for a moment before realizing that he was saying his own name.

Another survivor in military uniform climbed out from the field ridge and ran in the direction he had come from.Ouyang Qing called: "Wait a minute." But he was very weak, and the man didn't hear his cry.

The black dog yelled loudly: "Hey, wait!"

The recruit boy stopped and looked at them blankly.

Ouyang Qing asked him, "Where are you going?"

The soldier seemed a little afraid of Ouyang Qing, took two steps back, and whispered, "I want to go back and find my mother."

After a few seconds of silence, Ouyang Qing said, "Then take off your military uniform before leaving."

Hearing that Ouyang Qing was willing to let him go, the man breathed a sigh of relief, took off his military uniform neatly, threw it on the ground, and ran away.

The black dog asked Ye Rongqiu to pick up the clothes that the man left behind. Ye Rongqiu was reluctant, but he picked it up anyway.This time Ouyang Qing didn't express any opinions.

Ouyang Qing pointed to the guidebook and said, "Go there, there is a county town a few miles away."

The black dog didn't say anything, and walked in the direction he pointed.

Ye Rongqiu didn't say anything, just walked behind the black dog with his things.At this time, he no longer thought that Heigou was not with him, nor did he think that Heigou was a big trouble.It's a big problem that needs to be held tight.He has no car, no money, no servants, and only the black dog is left.If there is no black dog at this time, wouldn't it be the life of a pampered young master like him?

The black dog glanced at Ye Rongqiu, who was drooping his head and lowered his eyebrows, and asked amusedly, "Second Young Master, what's the matter with you? Are you injured?"

Ye Rongqiu looked up at him pitifully.In fact, his sprained ankle was very painful, but he looked at Ouyang Qing's broken leg and couldn't open his mouth, so he shook his head and lowered his head again.

The black dog smacked his lips and muttered: "Turtle son, you are really..." When there is nothing to do, Ye Rongqiu is arrogant like a peacock; but once something happens, he immediately becomes obedient like a little rabbit, full of arrogance. No, it makes people want to take this opportunity to go back to the sarcasm and sarcasm they usually suffer, and they are a little bit speechless.That's what Huang Sanye did that time, and it's still the same this time.

The black dog sighed, carefully lifted Ouyang Qing onto his back, and walked forward.
