Yulai's favorite place to play is the river. Every summer, Yulai and his friends, Tietou and Sanshuanger, would play in the river with their bare bottoms. The most important thing is that he can lie on the surface of the water with his face facing the sky, exposing his black belly to the water.
When Yu Lai was 12 years old, his parents sent him to night school. Yu Lai asked his mother for a piece of red cloth, wrapped a small oil-printed book in leather, and wrote the word "Yu Lai" with a twisted pencil.
Dressed in a green cloth coat, the female teacher gave them their first lesson: "We are Chinese, we love our motherland." Yulai learned quite carefully, following the female teacher word by word. He knew that his poor family had no money to send him to a school, and that he had to learn a few words in night school, so he couldn't be a blind man.
This day from the night school back, Yu Lai lying on the bed reading, reading reading fell asleep, I do not know when to open his eyes, saw his father came back.
Dad was dressed differently than usual: a bullet pouch draped over his shoulder, a grenade in his waist, and a rifle on his back. Dad was going to fight the devils?
Only Dad whispered to Mom, "The ghosts are sweeping again, and this time it will take a month or two to come back."
Yulai climbed up and asked, "Dad, is it far?"
Daddy said, "That's not accurate! You go to sleep!"
Dad said to mom, "Tomorrow you go to his grandma's house in Dongzhuang and tell his uncle to bring the militia to the district to gather."
The next morning, Dad left, and Mom went to his grandma's house in Dongzhuang, leaving Yulai alone in the house.
At noon, Yulai ate some leftover food and read on the bed. Suddenly, he heard someone running outside, and the sound got closer and closer, and the windowpane rattled.
Yulai hurriedly jumped off the bed, hid his book in his arms and ran out. As soon as he stepped out of the threshold, a man ran and collided with him. He was startled, and looked up to see that it was the district's transportation officer, Uncle Li, who usually stayed at Yulai's house.
Several Japs were chasing after Uncle Li.
The Japs were in the back of the room, and they were chasing after him. Uncle Li didn't have time to say anything, so he hurried to the corner of the wall to move a tank away from the wall, jumped into the hole, and said to Yu Lai, "Quickly move the tank back to the original place, and don't say anything to anyone."
The tank was half a tank of chaff, and it took a lot of effort to move the tank back to its original place. By this time, the Japs had already broken in. Yu Lai did not stop, the ghosts fired, bullets flew over his head.
There is no door in the backyard, what to do? Yu Lai hurriedly climbed toward a peach tree under the wall, trying to jump out of the yard. But the ghosts had already come after him, and reached out to yank down on Yu Lai's feet, and Yu Lai fell to the ground, where the ghosts grabbed him and tied him up with a rope.
Yulai was thrown into the house by the ghosts. The ghosts were rummaging through the house, which was turned upside down, even the pillows were pierced with bayonets.
A flat-nosed Japanese officer sat on the edge of the bed, his two rat eyes looking straight at Yu Lai's breasts. Yu Lai looked down, and it turned out to be his textbook exposed on his chest.
The ghost officer untied Yu Lai and touched his head with his hand and said gently, "Kid, don't be afraid, the book, I don't care, just now a man ran in, saw it or not?"
Yulai wiped his nose with his hand and said, "I didn't see anything!"
The flat-nosed officer heard, with his hand to pull out his pocket, Yu Lai thought, is it pulling out a knife? However, the ghost officer pulled out a handful of Japanese sugar cubes, into the hands of Yu Lai, said, "This is greatly good! Yours, say, where is the Eight Road's, the golden ticket is greatly available!"
Yulai did not answer, nor did he take the handful of sugar cubes.
One of the ghost soldiers got impatient and drew his knife to slash at Yu Lai's head. The flat-nosed officer stopped it, and patiently added, "No dead pulling, I like children, speak quickly, have you seen that man?"
Yulai shook his head, still saying, "I saw nothing!"
The flat-nosed officer was furious, he stared at the fierce eyes, suddenly stretched out his hands like eagle claws, grabbed both of Yu Lai's ears and pulled them to the sides, then, with another hand, he opened his hand on the left and right side of Yu Lai's face, and also twisted his face hard. Yu Lai's face was white, blue and purple, the pain was unbearable. The ghost next to him also punched Yu Lai's chest so hard that Yu Lai took a few steps backward, hitting the wall cabinet, and then was dragged over and pushed to the edge of the bed. Yu Lai's head was dizzy, and his nose was bleeding, splashing drop by drop on the two lines in his textbook, "We are Chinese, and we love our motherland."
The ghosts kept hitting Yulai, and were tired of it, but Yulai still said through clenched teeth, "I didn't see it!"
The flat-nosed officer stormed out, wailing, "Dead pullers, pull them out and shoot them!"
Several shots rang out, cutting through the sky, then silence fell around them, and the rain came and disappeared.
Transportation officer Uncle Li did not see Yu Lai come to move the tank in the hole in the ground, so he drilled out from another tunnel entrance. Inside and outside the house, Uncle Li couldn't find Yu Lai, so he ran to the street and asked, and someone told him that Yu Lai had been killed by the devils.
When Uncle Li heard this, he was in tears, but there was no sign of Yu Lai anywhere, not only did he not see the body, but he couldn't even see a drop of blood.
I don't know who said, Yu Lai was not thrown into the river by the ghosts, so people all followed the river to look for it, after half a day of searching, everyone was disappointed, suddenly, Tiehou shouted, "Isn't that Yu Lai?"
People saw, among the reeds, from the water a small head, shaking the water on his head like a duckling, wiping his eyes and nose with his hand, blowing out of his mouth, and shouting, "The devils are gone, aren't they?"
Everyone was overjoyed and rushed over, dragging Yu Lai to shore.
Originally, the Japs were just about to shoot when Yu Lai dove headfirst into the river, and the ghosts fired a few shots into the river, thinking Yu Lai had been killed.
Leading the devils into the minefield
The devils were coming to sweep again, and the people in the village panicked and drove their cows, donkeys, and pigs, and shouldered and carried their belongings to the ditch.
The militia also gathered. Shen Junfu, the head of the armed squad, led fifteen or six militiamen, each carrying a landmine and holding a shovel, and hurriedly ran to the avenue outside the village to bury landmines.
Yulai and his buddies followed the militiamen's asses, shouting as they ran, "We're going to bury mines, too!"
Yulai caught up with Shen Junfu and pulled at his lapel, saying, "Uncle, we can dig a pit!"
Shen Junfu shouted without looking back, "Don't pull me, you guys go back." A militiaman chimed in, "What's the mess!"
Yulai and a few of his buddies discussed in whispers, and they all resolved not to go back, and Yulai said to Uncle Shen again, "We're here to help bury the mines!"
Shen Junfu, seeing that they were dead set on not going back, said to one of the militiamen, "Give them some slips of paper and chalk, and let them draw camouflaged mines!"
Yulai and his buddies got excited and got busy "laying mines" on the avenue. They wrote on slips of paper things like, "Hey! Watch out for mines!" "Invite the Japs to eat snacks!" "Invite the Japanese Imperial Army to fly in an airplane!" ...... Pressing each note down with a lump of earth and drawing a circle around it with chalk, the task was quickly accomplished.
Yulai lifted his pants, which were about to slip down, and looked at the hard ground, frowning as he wondered if he should write a few more words on the ground. Write what? Right, let's just write that line from the textbook. So, with a crooked stroke of chalk, he wrote: "This is the land of China!"
The task all done, the militia and Yu Lai they all quickly hid.
Yulai jumped down to a dirt road, and waited for half a day without seeing the ghosts, and was really anxious, burying half a day in vain.
Yulai decided to go to reconnoiter. They held their breath, slowly rubbing towards the village side, came to a section of the earth wall. Yu Lai pricked up his ears and listened carefully, there is no movement in the village, probably the ghosts have gone.
There is a poplar tree at the base of the wall, straight and straight, Yu Lai asked his friends to hide, dabbed a few times and climbed up the tree, a foot step to the wall. He saw no one walking in the village, the yard pigsty door is open, there is no pig inside, messy, what rotten thread ball, flower coats, empty cigarette cases, thrown all over the place. It looks like the ghosts really left after robbing things.
Yulai said to his partners, "The ghosts are gone, you wait, I'll go open the corner gate of the yard."
Inside the wall was a haystack, Yu Lai wanted to jump from the haystack to the courtyard, his foot just reached down, he felt that something was wrong, what he stepped on was not like a haystack. What is it? It turned out to be a human head, it is a secret agent hiding there!
Yulai hurriedly shouted, "There are enemies inside, run!"
The little friends ran away, and Yu Lai's feet were yanked by the agent, fell down, and landed in the hands of the enemy.
The agent was very happy to have caught Yu Lai, and said triumphantly, "It's good to catch one!"
Yulai sat on the ground and thought to himself, "I have to think of a way to run, but if I let him take me back, I'll be dead". He looked around and saw that there was only one agent, he stood up and tried to run. The agent tripped over his feet, and Yulai fell to the ground again.
Yulai was escorted away, but he was still not satisfied. As he walked, he suddenly stretched out his leg and tripped the agent to the ground. The agent rolled up and went up and hit Yu Lai twice in the mouth, saying, "Little brat, you know this hand too, run again and I'll shoot you dead!"
A bearded Japanese officer, staring with two rat eyes, yelled fiercely at Yu Lai, "Kid! Lead the way!"
Yulai stood still, and the officer, thinking he had fainted from fear, pulled a handful of Japanese candies out of his pocket, "Don't be afraid, lead the way for the Imperial Army, dead pull, no!"
Yulai thought to himself, running is not running away, not to lead the way? I'll take them to the minefield, yes, that's it!
Yulai thought again, if I lead the way smoothly, the ghosts will be suspicious.
Yulai thought again, "If I take the road smoothly, the devils will be suspicious. The Japanese officer drew his sword and put it on Yu Lai's neck: "Lead the way quickly!"
The ghosts pushed and shoved Yu Lai, who said angrily, "If you push and shove me like that, you'll push me into a mine!" The ghosts let go.
At the eastern avenue of the village, the ghosts saw the red and green papers and said, "There are really mines here?"
Yu Lai said, "If you don't believe me, try stepping on it!" But none of the ghosts dared to step on it.
Yulai led more than 200 ghosts around the fake minefield for half a day. Yu Lai intentionally scared the ghosts: "Be careful of the mines!" A ghost stepped on a soft ground, thought he stepped on a mine, scared quickly on the ground, several ghosts also followed on the ground, screaming.
Turning around, finally to the minefield. The company's business is a very important part of the company's business, and it is a very important part of the company's business.
Yulai led the ghosts up the embankment, in front of the embankment, the road are buried mines. It was not far from the first mine, but Yulai yelled, "Ahead, there is no minefield!"
Two feet away from the first mine, one feet away, further ahead will step on the mine. At this time, Yu Lai deliberately took a step and planted himself in the river. He floundered in the water, deliberately sticking his head out of the water and shouting, "Help!" Within moments, it seemed as if Yu Lai had been swept away by the water and was nowhere to be seen.
The ghost officer thought he had really reached a mine-free zone and took a big step forward. Within a few steps, the mine went off. Boom! Boom! Boom! A mine went off, like a chain of cannons, one after another, this is a minefield ah! It didn't take long, more than 200 ghosts were dead, wounded, and a lot of them became our prisoners, only 30 or so escaped.
The battle was won, and Yu Lai emerged from the water, mixed with water, and ran in holding his wet clothes.
The clever plan to escort the Eighth Route Army
A group of Japanese devils arrived in Luhua Village, and the devils lived in Yulai's house.
The ghosts live in the east house of Yulai's house, and Yulai and his mother live in the west house.
This day in the middle of the night, Yu Lai was sleeping soundly, suddenly felt a big hand, a cold hand, touched his head, he was startled, woke up, but there was no one in sight. He wondered if he had dreamed it, so he quietly told his mom. Mom said, must be your dream, go to sleep. After a while, mom also felt a big hand, a cold hand, touched her face. Mom opened her eyes, the room was dark, there was no one to be seen, and after a while, the hand reached up from under the edge of the bed and touched MaMaDe's face, Mom climbed up and took a look under the edge of the bed, and was shocked. Under the edge of the kang, in the dim darkness, there is a person, and then look again, a person holding a gun, powerless Kao on the edge of the kang, take a closer look, it is not the Eighth Route Army, is a wounded Eighth Route Army.
Mom gently got off the kang, closed the door, and woke up Yu Lai again. Yu Lai looked, this is not the a few days ago in their house stayed in the eight-way army uncle with two dimples on his face? Yu Lai also asked the uncle, the two dimples is how to come, the uncle said that one time to beat the staff, the enemy's two bullets from the left to the right in front of him shot over, he opened his mouth to try to hold the bullets, did not hold, from his cheeks, from left to right through the past.
The Eighth Route Army uncle with dimples on his face asked for water to drink, and his mother told Yu Lai to bring two eggs from the jar on the window sill, so that the uncle could drink them first, and then told Yu Lai to go to the hall to boil water.
Yulai had just lit the wood fire, a ghost who came back from work came into the house to go to sleep in the west room, and Yulai hurriedly pointed his hand to the east room and said, "Taijun! Sleep over there!" Seeing that Yu Lai was burning the fire, he asked, "What is this for?" Yulai replied that a Taijun wanted to drink water. The ghosts didn't find anything suspicious, so they went into the east room. The ghost was very satisfied and praised Yu Lai as "very good".
The dimpled Eighth Route Army uncle, under the careful care of Yu Lai and MaMaDe, recovered quite quickly, and in a few days, he was going to look for troops. But the village is surrounded by ghost sentries, it is difficult to get out of the village. What should we do? After thinking about it for half a day, I couldn't think of a good way.
Suddenly, Yulai saw his father's sheepskin jacket, where the wool was fluffy, and thought that the three diamonds were herding sheep for the landowner Yu Dabu, and the sheep pen was in the landowner's yard next door to his house. Yu Lai brain turn, came up with a good way to send the Eighth Route Army uncle out of the village: let the Eighth Route Army uncle turn dad's sheepskin jacket over and drape it over his body, sandwiched between the sheep out of the village.
Mom said that this method would not work, and the enemy would easily find out. The Eighth Route Army uncle thought about it, turned the sheepskin jacket over and draped it over his body to try it, and said, this method can work. There was no other way, it was decided to take the rain to come.
Late at night, Yulai went to the backyard of the landlord, Yu Dabu, to look for Three Diamonds. The landlord's backyard, Kao two sides is the sheep pen, Kao two huts on the east side, one put things, the other is the three diamonds live.
Yu Lai in the three driller's window root called several times, three driller only woke up from the dream, heard that it is Yu Lai, hurriedly down the bed to open the door. The two sat opposite each other on the kang, and San Driller, still rubbing his eyes, asked, "In the middle of the night, what's the matter?"
Yulai whispered the story of the Eighth Route Army's wounded being sent out of the village, and Sandrill said worriedly, "What if the Dongjia asks me for a sheep?"
Yulai said, "When the devils are gone, you'll go to my uncle's house in Dongzhuang to catch them, won't that be enough!"
Three Diamonds thought for a moment and said, "All right! Saving the Eighth Route Army is important, let's go!"
The two quietly touched the sheep pen to open the door, the sky is still light.
Dozens of sheep were still sleeping. It took a lot of effort to get the sheep out of the pen, with Yu Lai and San Zhan Er smacking this one on the buttocks and kicking that one on the feet.
Mom and the Eighth Route Army uncle were already waiting outside the door. The uncle leaned on a wooden stick, put on his sheepskin jacket, walked into the sheep and crouched down, hey, you can't really tell.
It's getting light, and there's not much on the streets. Yu Lai drove the sheep to the outskirts of the village.
Yulai asked in a low voice, "Uncle! Is it okay?"
"Don't talk!" Uncle Eighth Route Army's voice was weak, and in the faint morning light, Yu Lai couldn't see the beads of sweat breaking out on his face as he endured the pain.
Outside the village lit a pile of fire, the ghosts are on sentry duty, squatting all night are holding the gun, drooping head, some asleep, some head a little bit of a snooze.
Yulai thought to himself, they are asleep good, hurry up. Maybe it is too early in the morning, the sheep are reluctant to go. Rain to use the whip to drive, the sheep still swing tail slow, a step can not move half a day.
Badly, the sheep passed by the fire, the sheep were scared to run away, all hiding from the fire to run. Rain came and lashed twice with the whip so hard that one sheep was hurt and bleated.
The snoozing ghosts were awakened, and one of them barked with his rifle at the end of his hand, "What's work?"
"The sheep herders!" Yulai replied, pointing his whip at the sheep.
"What's herding sheep, not allowed! Get back!"
What can be done about this, Yu Lai was in a hurry.
Yulai thought for a moment that the landlord, Yu Dabu, had become a regimental commander in the city and was working for Japan. So he pointed his whip at the door of the landlord's house and said, "This sheep belongs to Mr. Yu, the regimental commander. :"
"What's that, Mr. Tuan, go back!"
The ghosts didn't know what Tuanzhong, or not allowed to go.
Yulai pretended to cry and yelled, "Great Grandma Yu had to tell me to come out and herd the sheep, she said that when she met the interpreter of the Imperial Army mentioning the Generalissimo Yu, it would be fine!"
The interpreter asked, "You said the sheep belonged to Generalissimo Yu's family, where is it written?"
"You ask around, besides Generalissimo Yu's family, whose family has so many sheep?"
The interpreter mumbled a few Japanese words to the ghost soldier, and the ghost waved his hand as the interpreter said, "Get lost! Little brats!"
Yulai waved his whip and cracked it, and the sheep spread their four hooves and ran ╠╠ the wounded Eighth Route Army soldiers safely out of the village.
Night delivery of chicken letters
This night, Yu Lai and Tie Tou, two members of the Children's League, stood guard at the west end of the village. Both of them held red tasseled rifles in their hands, their two eyes flickered as they looked around, and their two ears listened carefully to the movements on the main road.
Late at night, the village was quiet, with only a few stars blinking in the sky in the darkness, and a cold wind blowing.
There was a high hut built of straw and broomcorn on the edge of the village. Yu Lai and Tie Tou were so cold that they stood in the hut. After all, they were children, and both of them got sleepy as they stood there. Yu Lai's head drooped to his chest, his body swaying, Iron Head pushed Yu Lai a bit, said, "Don't sleep ah!"
Yulai woke up, but not long after, Iron Head sleepy again, put his head Kao on the red tassel, body also swaying. Yu Lai pushed Iron Head with his arm and elbow.
Both of them didn't dare to sleep anymore, staring up with big eyes, carefully monitoring the main road.
Suddenly, they heard someone walking, and a figure came closer and closer. Yu Lai extended his red tasseled spear and shouted in a low voice, "Who? Stop!"
The visitor also whispered first, "It's me!"
The two men heard the voice and knew it was the armed squad leader, Uncle Shen.
Shen Daxue took out a chicken feather letter and said, "Which one of you two will deliver it? Along the village to the west, pass it quickly!"
Yulai jumped ahead and said, "I'll deliver it, Tietou has already made the trip."
Yulai took the letter and looked at it, there were three matches on the chicken feather letter, it was a letter of 100,000 fire.
Yulai handed the red tasseled spear to Tiehou and drew his legs and ran, this letter had to be delivered quickly!
Yulai has been going west, not to take the road to take a small road, dripping through a small river, around a clump of short trees, only to hear the soles of the shoes clicking.
Where to send it west? In those days, when there was a war, there was no certain address for the recipient of the letter, so you could only look in a general direction.
The sky was dark, with only a few stars blinking, and Yulai thought of wolves. I've heard people say that wolves come out at night. You walk in front, the wolf follows you, and as you walk, the wolf puts its two front paws on your shoulders, and when you turn around, it bites your throat. Alas, really scary! Yu Lai rambled on, and then felt a fox following him, the fox's furry mouth seemed to touch his face. It's true what they say, the smaller the guts, the more scared you get.
Yu Lai strengthened his courage, and said to himself in his heart, "I don't want the wolf and I don't want the fox. It's really strange, the more courageous you are, the less scared you are.
Yulai was no longer afraid, and he ran with his head, not feeling the cold. Running, suddenly heard a gunshot, someone shouted: "Stop! What's going on?"
Yulai was startled, in the darkness, only to see a wall in front, and the dark shadow of a tree, could it be that he ran into the enemy? However, it was too late to run back. What should we do? There is still a hundred thousand urgent chicken feather letter on the body.
Only heard the man shouted again: "No running! If you dare to run, I will shoot!"
Yulai hadn't answered when the man ordered again, "Clap your hands and come here!"
What can we do about this! What to do about the chicken letter! Yu Lai's hot sweat turned into a cold sweat.
While Yu Lai was at a loss for what to do, the man shouted again, "Come here or I'll shoot!"
Yulai could only clap his hands and walk forward. After a few steps, Yu Lai suddenly crouched down and quickly buried the letter in the ground. The man asked : "What are you squatting for?" Yu Lai said : "I dropped my shoes, where's the shoe lift!" Yu Lai clapped his hands together as he kicked a bit of dirt with his foot and buried the letter.
Yulai clapped his hands and walked toward the base of the wall. The man poked his head out of the wall and asked again, "What do you do?"
Yulai heard the voice and thought it sounded familiar, so he said, "Who are you?"
The man said, "Who do you care who I am!"
Now, Yu Lai heard it and said happily, "Hey! You're Wang Erge!" Dare I say that he is from the same village as Yu Lai.
"What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"
"I came to deliver a letter! A chicken feather letter."
What? Where's the letter?
Yulai remembered that the letter was buried in the ground.
Wang Erge slipped down the tree from the wall and anxiously asked, "Where is the letter?"
"It's all because of you, when you shouted and screamed, you scared me so much that I buried the letter in the earth."
The two of them followed the path of the rain and looked for the letter. Where to look for it. Wang Erge's two hands felt around on the ground, freezing cold and icy, and Yu Lai's hands also froze and hurt. Fortunately, Wang Erge touched the letter, and plowed it out of the earth, well.
Yulai happy, 100,000 urgent chicken letter delivered, it turned out to be a military intelligence

Famous children's literature writer Guan Hua has written a book <Little Hero Yulai>, which describes Yulai's deeds in detail, vividly and specifically, and I'll pick up a few clips here to tell you a few stories about the little hero Yulai.
Yulai did not die
Yulai's home is in the village of Luhua, on the edge of the river. It was a small village in the Jinchahi border area. What a beautiful name! Originally, there are many reeds growing in the river, and when the reeds blossom, when the wind blows, the goose feather-like reeds will fly all over the sky, covering the small village in the soft reeds.
Yulai's favorite place to play is the river. Every summer, Yulai and his friends, Tietou and Sanshuanger, would play in the river with their bare bottoms. The most important thing is that he can lie on the surface of the water with his face facing the sky, exposing his black belly to the water.
When Yu Lai was 12 years old, his parents sent him to night school. Yu Lai asked his mother for a piece of red cloth, wrapped the oil-printed book in leather, and wrote the word "Yu Lai" in pencil in a crooked way.
Dressed in a green cloth coat, the female teacher gave them their first lesson: "We are Chinese, we love our motherland." Yulai learned quite carefully, following the female teacher word by word. He knew that his poor family could not afford to send him to a school, and that he had to learn a few words in night school, so he could not be a blind man.
This day from the night school back, Yu Lai lying on the bed reading, reading reading fell asleep, I do not know when to open his eyes, saw his father came back.
Dad was dressed differently than usual: a bullet pouch draped over his shoulder, a grenade in his waist, and a rifle on his back. Dad was going to fight the devils?
Only Dad whispered to Mom, "The ghosts are sweeping again, and this time it will take a month or two to come back."
Yulai climbed up and asked, "Dad, is it far?"
Daddy said, "That's not accurate! You go to sleep!"
Dad said to mom, "Tomorrow you go to his grandma's house in Dongzhuang and tell his uncle to bring the militia to the district to gather."
The next morning, Dad left, and Mom went to his grandma's house in Dongzhuang, leaving Yulai alone in the house.
At noon, Yulai ate some leftover food and read on the bed. Suddenly, he heard someone running outside, and the sound got closer and closer, and the windowpane rattled.
Yulai hurriedly jumped off the bed, hid his book in his arms and ran out. As soon as he stepped out of the threshold, a man came running and collided with him. He was startled, and looked up to see that it was the district's transportation officer, Uncle Li, who usually stayed at Yulai's house.
Several Japs were chasing after Uncle Li.
The Japs were not able to say anything, but they rushed to the corner of the wall to move a tank away, jumped into the hole, and said to Yu Lai, "Quickly move the tank back to the original place, and don't say anything to anyone."
The tank was half a tank of chaff, and it took a lot of effort to move the tank back to its original place. By this time, the Japs had already broken in. Yu Lai did not stop, the ghosts fired, bullets flew over his head.
There is no door in the backyard, what to do? Yu Lai hurriedly climbed toward a peach tree under the wall, trying to jump out of the yard. But the ghosts had already come after him, and reached out to yank Yu Lai's feet downward, and Yu Lai fell to the ground, where he was grabbed by the ghosts and tied up with a rope.
Yulai was thrown down to the house by the ghosts. The ghosts were rummaging through the house, and it was so disorganized that even the pillows were pierced with bayonets.
A flat-nosed Japanese officer sat on the edge of the bed, his two rat eyes looking straight at Yu Lai's breasts. Yu Lai looked down, and it turned out to be his textbook exposed on his chest.
The ghost officer untied Yu Lai and touched his head with his hand and said gently, "Kid, don't be afraid, the book, I don't care, just now a man ran in, did you see it?"
Yulai wiped his nose with his hand and said, "I didn't see anything!"
The flat-nosed officer heard, with his hand to pull out his pocket, Yu Lai thought, is it pulling out a knife? However, the ghost officer pulled out a handful of Japanese sugar cubes, into Yu Lai's hand, said, "This is greatly good! Yours, say, where is the Eight Road's, the golden ticket is greatly available!"
Yulai did not answer, nor did he take the handful of sugar cubes.
One of the ghost soldiers got impatient and drew his knife to slash at Yu Lai's head. The flat-nosed officer stopped it, and patiently added, "No dead pulling, I like children, speak quickly, have you seen that man?"
Yulai shook his head, still saying, "I saw nothing!"
The flat-nosed officer was furious, he stared at the fierce eyes, suddenly stretched out his hands like eagle claws, grabbed both of Yu Lai's ears and pulled them to the sides, then, with another hand, he opened his hand on the left and right side of Yu Lai's face, and also twisted his face hard. Yu Lai's face was white, blue and purple, the pain was unbearable. The ghost next to him also punched Yu Lai's chest so hard that Yu Lai took a few steps backward, hitting the wall cabinet, and then was dragged over and pushed to the edge of the bed. Yu Lai's head was dizzy, and his nose was bleeding, splashing drop by drop on the two lines in his textbook, "We are Chinese, and we love our motherland."
The ghosts kept hitting Yulai, and they were tired of it, but Yulai still gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't see it!"
The flat-nosed officer stormed out, wailing, "Dead pullers, pull them out and shoot them!"
Several shots rang out, cutting through the sky, then silence fell around them, and the rain came and disappeared.
Transportation officer Uncle Li did not see Yu Lai in the hole in the ground to move the tank, so he drilled out from another tunnel entrance. Inside and outside the house, Uncle Li couldn't find Yu Lai, so he ran to the street and asked, and someone told him that Yu Lai had been killed by the devils.
When Uncle Li heard this, he was in tears, but there was no sign of Yu Lai anywhere, not only did he not see the body, but he couldn't even see a drop of blood.
I don't know who said, Yu Lai was not thrown into the river by the ghosts, so people all followed the river to look for it, after half a day of searching, everyone was disappointed, suddenly, Tiehou shouted, "Isn't that Yu Lai?"
People saw, among the reeds, from the water a small head, shaking the water on his head like a duckling, wiping his eyes and nose with his hand, blowing out of his mouth, and shouting, "The devils are gone, aren't they?"
Everyone was overjoyed and rushed over, dragging Yu Lai to shore.
Originally, the Japs were just about to shoot when Yu Lai dove headfirst into the river, and the ghosts fired a few shots into the river, thinking Yu Lai had been killed.
Leading the devils into the minefield
The devils were coming to sweep again, and the people in the village panicked and drove the cows, donkeys, and pigs, and carried things on their shoulders and hands to the ditch.
The militia also gathered. Shen Junfu, the head of the armed squad, led fifteen or six militiamen, each carrying a landmine and holding a shovel, and hurriedly ran to the avenue outside the village to bury landmines.
Yulai and his buddies followed the militiamen's asses, shouting as they ran, "We're going to bury mines, too!"
Yulai caught up with Shin Junfu and pulled at his lapel, saying, "Uncle, we can dig a pit!"
Shen Junfu shouted without looking back, "Don't pull me, you guys go back." A militiaman chimed in, "What's the mess!"
Yulai and a few of his buddies discussed in whispers, and they all resolved not to go back, and Yulai said to Uncle Shen again, "We're here to help bury the mines!"
Shen Junfu, seeing that they were dead set on not going back, said to one of the militiamen, "Give them some slips of paper and chalk, and let them draw camouflaged mines!"
Yulai and his buddies got excited and got busy "planting mines" on the avenue. They wrote on slips of paper things like, "Hey! Watch out for mines!" "Invite the Japs to eat snacks!" "Invite the Japanese Imperial Army to fly in an airplane!" ...... pressed each note into place with a lump of earth, and then used chalk
