Chapter 183: Saving People

Some common folk also packed up their baskets and cloth bags, preparing to go to the grain depot.

Ever since the little devils captured Zhuozhou City.

All the grain inside the city had been confiscated by the devils to be used as military rations.

Anyone who did not hand over their grain was killed by the devils.

In this Zhuozhou City, people are starving to death every day now.

Now that the Republic of China Army has fought back and opened the granaries to distribute food, the common folk have also opened their doors.

Seeing the doors open, many Sichuan Army soldiers in the unit led by Yu Hua also breathed a sigh of relief.

With a "Click..." sound, the door opened.

The sense of estrangement between the troops and the common folk would thus disappear, further deepening their familiarity.

"What happened outside?"

"Go find a cotton-padded coat and drape it over this little girl."

She did not reply.

Standing at the doorway was a little girl of eleven or twelve years old.

"Don't hit me!"

Xiao Ningxin saw that she had something on her mind and said softly: "Xixi, if you have anything to say, say it now."

Outside the room, Yu Hua heard Xiao Ningxin's loud cursing, and he also knew what kind of scene was inside the room.

Yu Hua discovered that this little girl might have suffered many hardships, and her wariness was still quite high.

"This big brother is a good friend of your big sister, don't be afraid."

"Where are your parents?"

Several Sichuan Army soldiers entered the residence and found it empty.

Upon hearing this, Xixi took a few deep breaths, "Big sister, can you go and save my second sister?"

She was very furious: "Abominable!"

"We will take you to find your second sister right now."

"I found a big sister and a big brother to save you."

After seeing this scene, the Sichuan Army soldiers brought by Yu Hua all began to jeer.

After Wei Dayong reported to Yu Hua, Xiao Ningxin took Xixi toward the residence.

He draped the cotton-padded coat over the little girl; at this moment, the girl's fearful emotions clearly diminished a lot.

When the little devils attacked Zhuozhou, her father's Police Force was assigned to defend the city.

"Are you hurt?"

At this time, the little girl was already clutching Xiao Ningxin's hand, as if she had taken Xiao Ningxin for someone close.

Xiao Ningxin, who was taking photos, leaned against the door frame.

At this moment, Xiao Ningxin also discovered this girl.

After Xixi finished speaking, Yu Hua walked up and smashed the lock with his gun butt.

Coupled with the marks on the other person's body, Xiao Ningxin was also clear that Tan Yu had likely suffered a great deal of torture.

"We are good people, we won't hit you."

Hearing Yu Hua call him, Wei Dayong immediately ran over, "Battalion Commander!"

This made Xiao Ningxin curse them as beasts in anger!

Yu Hua squatted down and said very gently: "Xixi, where is your second sister?"

At the entrance were two stone lion statues, only the residence's door was open at this time.

Xiao Ningxin nodded; only after she lifted the quilt did she discover that Tan Yu was not wearing any undergarments.

"Sister, can you help me put on some clothes?"

"These devils are just animals; they are forcing the common folk in the city to their deaths."

Seeing the heavy lock shattered, Xixi rushed forward quickly and pushed open the door.

To ease this awkwardness, he took the initiative to look toward this dilapidated courtyard.

The walls had already turned yellow, and even the rubble on the courtyard's door was scattered.

This room was locked with a heavy lock; Xixi could not get in and could only shout.

All the common folk in the city rushed toward the grain depot.

Now that the common folk are lacking food, as long as the grain is taken out and distributed to the common folk.

Yu Hua had Wei Dayong and the others stand guard and report immediately if they discovered any abnormal situations.

When the devils were about to breach the city, Tan Yu's father had originally arranged for his subordinate Wang Feng.

"Are you alright?"

Xixi's dark, bright eyes blinked as she looked at Yu Hua: "Big brother, I know where my second sister is."

It could be seen that Xiao Ningxin's conversation with the little girl made the girl's heart gradually open up.

"Our troops have fought back, and now the troops are opening the granaries to distribute food."

If it were a rainy day, standing under this doorway, one would definitely be soaked by the rain.

She immediately stepped forward and untied the ropes.

Xiao Ningxin wanted to expose the evil deeds of the little devils.

With Xiao Ningxin's help, Tan Yu also finished putting on her clothes.

Looking at the girl's figure trembling in the cold wind, Xiao Ningxin's heart felt as if it had been pricked by a needle.

Xiao Ningxin's center of gravity was unstable, and she fell backward, but fortunately, Yu Hua was quick-eyed and fast-handed.

Seeing Xiao Ningxin finish speaking, the girl tremblingly raised her head and glanced at Xiao Ningxin.

She was standing at the doorway of a house.

"Dayong!"

He caught Xiao Ningxin, who was suddenly about to fall.

Yu Hua took the cotton-padded coat, "It's fine, these cotton-padded coats are not easy to find right now."

Tan Yu said softly, "Thank you!"

"Battalion Commander, I searched a few rounds and only found a cotton-padded coat for an adult."

While cursing, she also used the Camera in her hand to record these scenes.

"Second Sister!"

The clothes on her body were very thin; in this cold winter, the girl curled up her body and shivered slightly.

As she spoke, the girl also took a few steps back.

Yu Hua suggested to Wang Zhizhong that the Sichuan Army open the granaries to distribute grain.

After letting go of Xiao Ningxin, he scratched his head in embarrassment.

The girl lowered her head and said tremblingly, "I... I... I didn't mean to!"

The little girl looked at Yu Hua twice, then stared at Xiao Ningxin again, her other little hand constantly twisting the corner of her clothes.

Inside the room, Xiao Ningxin saw a woman with a beautiful face currently tied to a large bed with ropes.

Tan Yu's father was originally the chief of a Police Department branch in Zhuozhou City.

After the battle ended, everyone was still unwilling to come out.

Xiao Ningxin saw these sallow and emaciated commoners; many were already starved to skin and bones.

Xiao Ningxin followed closely behind, while Yu Hua did not enter the room.

The residence was very grand; one could tell at a glance it belonged to a wealthy family.

"Second Sister... Xixi has come to save you."

Xixi responded happily, "Second Sister, Xixi is fine."

Xixi shouted at the doorway of the room.

Holding the cotton-padded coat, Yu Hua came before the little girl.

There were still many items scattered on the ground; one could tell at a glance that it must have been after the Sichuan Army troops entered the city,

the people of the residence fled in all directions, and others began to scramble for the items inside.

When they first entered the city, the Sichuan Army was pursuing the Puppet Army and the Japanese, and the commoners kept their doors tightly shut.

Relying on the memories in her mind, Xixi led Yu Hua and his party to a large residence.

"Oh!" Yu Hua's reaction was a bit slow, "Sorry about that."

Passing through the front hall and arriving at the backyard, Xixi headed straight for the room where her Second Sister was being held.

Wei Dayong nodded and left quickly.

By the time he returned, there was already a grayish-black cotton-padded coat in his hand.

She squatted down and said softly, "Little sister, don't be afraid!"

"My hands and feet are a bit numb, I can't muster any strength."

Her right hand was still tightly gripping a large cloth bag, seeing Yu Hua's gaze approach.

Xiao Ningxin looked at Yu Hua, then nodded blankly.

Instantly, Xiao Ningxin's face flushed red, and she said coquettishly, "Aren't you going to let me go yet."

He asked Xiao Ningxin to get closer to the little girl and open her heart.

The girl's hair was tied up casually with straw, and her face was also covered in grime.

Inside the room, Xixi's Second Sister responded in a rather weak voice, "Xixi!"

This was a rather dilapidated small courtyard, and the courtyard walls were already heavily damaged.

During this period, she also learned of Tan Yu's encounter.

Yu Hua patted Wei Dayong on the shoulder.

He asked him to cover the evacuation of Xixi's mother, eldest sister, and second sister.

But who would have known that Wang Feng, taking a few confidants, surrendered to the Japanese and led people to open the city gates.
