Wen 丨 sighed into history
Editor丨 Sigh for history
In early 1943, winter had just passed, spring had not yet arrived, the weather was still cold, and Ming Deying looked in the direction of the mountain, waiting for the return of her husband.
A month ago, I learned from the villagers that his husband was captured by the Japanese Kou and is now being held captive by the Japanese Kou and serving as a coolie with the army.
The Japanese conscripted laborers
The Japanese Kou exterminated humanity and lost their conscience, and no one knew whether they would release the captured villagers back, nor when they would be able to return.
The neighbors in the township are pessimistic about this matter.
In this regard, Ming Deying was also very uneasy in his heart.
She did not have any good feelings for these Japanese thieves who invaded their homeland, and she was even more angry at their cruelty.
Regarding the arrest of her husband as a strong man, she has no bottom in her heart and her views are not optimistic.
However, every day at this time, she will still wait here, looking up at her husband's way home on weekdays, looking forward to and praying for his return.
She had been disappointed again and again, and this time.
“！！！”
Ming Deying couldn't help but widen her eyes, in her field of vision, that familiar figure was walking towards here with a shake,
Her husband, Li Kaitian, returned.
Ming Deying rushed forward, and as soon as he approached, Ming Deying suddenly found that her husband had not returned alone, but was also carrying a young man who was seriously injured and weak.
A couple who looked at each other and had a tacit understanding had already exchanged the identity of this young man.
The young man was the Eighth Route Army.
In this area that has been occupied by the Japanese army, especially in this critical period when the Japanese army is being liquidated on a large scale, behavior like Li Kaitian's behavior is absolutely very dangerous.
Once the Japanese, traitors, and beasts hear the sound of the wind, then it will be a disaster.
Elves
These beasts don't care about any kind of reason!
They would rather kill the wrong person than let it go, and they are very mad.
But Maung tak-young immediately cooperated with her husband, hiding the warrior in his hut and simply dealing with his injuries.
Speaking of which, this is not the first time they have done this kind of thing, in the early years, they also rescued many soldiers who were injured in the sweeping of the Japanese puppet army and were in danger.
The Japanese puppet army swept up
For example, two years ago, when Ming Deying was going up the mountain, he accidentally found a wounded little soldier, who had been seriously injured and fainted, and at the same time heard the sound of the Japanese puppet army shouting.
She hastily hid the little warriors and misled the pursuing Japanese puppet army.
After the Japanese puppet army left, she quickly observed the situation of the small soldiers, and found that she was not optimistic, had lost too much blood, had been shocked, and there was no water source around, MingDeying frowned, and thought a little.
She was wondering how to hydrate the little warrior.
My mind turned and I immediately thought of a way.
She resolutely undressed, and Ming Deying, who was nursing, fed her own milk to the little warrior, hung up a life for him, and then took it home to take care of with her husband.
Perhaps it was this little soldier's strong will and strong desire to survive, who survived this crisis, survived, and continued to participate in the revolution.
Therefore, for them, helping these fighters who are fighting with their lives to crush the Japanese army and defend their homeland has become an important thing than life.
Li Kaitian quickly went to close the door, and Ming Deying helped the Eighth Route Army soldier deal with the wound that had been infected with pus on his body and apply herbs to it.
And go to the hot water, cook, and wait for the warriors to wake up.
That's the only thing they can do.
At the same time, during the coma of the Eighth Route Army soldier, Li Kaitian told his wife about his situation this month and the causes and consequences of his encounter with this soldier.
It turned out that a month ago, while he was working, he encountered a large-scale sweep by the Japanese Kou, and in order to avoid the battlefield, he took refuge with other civilians.
On the way, he met Zhuang Xinmin, who was wearing civilian clothes and was injured.
Zhuang Xinmin
Li Kaitian recognized Zhuang Xinmin's Identity of the Eighth Route Army at a glance, and he had rescued many Eighth Route Army soldiers, and he was very familiar with the inexplicable temperament of the Eighth Route Army.
At this time, the Japanese surrounded them and began to search for suspicious elements in the crowd.
Soon, they locked in Zhuang Xinmin, who was somewhat out of place with the crowd.
Li Kaitian immediately helped, claiming that Zhuang Xinmin was his son, who had been injured before going up the mountain to find goods.
This allowed Zhuang Xinmin to escape the disaster.
The two exchanged privately, and Li Kaitian determined the identity of Zhuang Xinmin, and learned that Zhuang Xinmin was left behind because of his injury, so he would meet them, so Li Kaitian took good care of Zhuang Xinmin.
When he was coerced by the Japanese Kou and served as a hard worker, because of Zhuang Xinmin's injuries, Li Kaitian often came to the aid of Zhuang Xinmin and helped Zhuang Xinmin complete the hard work, using the father-son identity he claimed before, and the Japanese Kou did not suspect it.
However, as for Zhuang Xinmin's injuries, although Li Kaitian repeatedly wanted to get medicine from the Japanese or to be able to get rid of the hard work and go to treatment.
But the Japanese did not care about their lives at all, and beat them and scolded them.
There is no way but hard top.
Until the other day, Nikko finally seemed to feel that they were useless and let them go.
Li Kaitian walked all the way back with Zhuang Xinmin on his back.
draw
Li Kaitian said that few people now know that he has returned, and then when Zhuang Xinmin recovers, he will quickly transfer it to a nearby cave.
Otherwise, if they are seen by other villagers, people with many eyes and people's hearts are unpredictable, which may push all three of them into the abyss.
Of course, for the villagers, in fact, they are still very trusting, the main problem is that the Japanese often come to the village to sweep, hiding at home is not safe.
Matilda nodded.
Just as the two were deliberating, Zhuang Xinmin woke up.
The two rushed forward to help.
Zhuang Xinmin woke up from fainting, and in his memory, he was still stuck on the way back before.
Regaining the light, it appeared directly in his eyes that there were two people, a man and a woman.
Ming Deying (left) and Lee Kai-tin (right)
The man he recognized was the benefactor who allowed him to escape from the hands of the Japanese Kou, Li Kaitian.
And women?
"Wife?"
Zhuang Xinmin speculated.
"Are you awake?" Come on, take a sip of water! ”
Li Kaitian helped Zhuang Xinmin to sit up, brought a bowl of water, and brought it to his mouth.
"Hmmm... Thank you..."
The warm water came down from his throat, and Zhuang Xinmin finally felt that he had regained some strength and quickly thanked him.
"It's okay, it's okay, the meal is already being cooked, let's lie down and rest first!"
Li Kaitian was full of smiles and enthusiasm, and his attitude toward Zhuang Xinmin was no different from that of his own son.
"Huh? This..."
Slightly puzzled, he looked at Ming Deying, who was excited, but did not say a word.
Matilda
"This is my wife, I'm sorry, she was seriously ill in her early years, here..."
Li Kaitian pointed to his throat and shook his head,
"Ah... I'm sorry. ”
Zhuang Xinmin understood.
"Alas, this is all fate, otherwise this, you have a good rest, we will go to see the meal."
Watching Li Kaitian and Ming Deying and his wife leave, Zhuang Xinmin was touched in his heart, but he could not help but worry.
He was well aware of his identity, although while in the Japanese camp, Li Kaitian helped him successfully fool him.
But now it is clear that he has returned to Li Kaitian's home.
The nearby township must be clear about how many people Li Kaitian's family really have, not to mention whether someone will deliberately betray it in exchange for glory and wealth.
The group of traitors alone is very cunning, and if it is a cliché, it will come out of the mouth of the villagers.
Traitors
That would doom Li Kaitian's family.
He couldn't stay here, Li Kaitian had helped him enough to bring him any more danger.
Zhuang Xinmin braced himself and wanted to get up and leave.
However, the wound that had been infected with pus had already drained his physical strength, and after several struggles, he could not get up at all.
Ming Deying and Li Kaitian, who happened to be making a good meal, returned and rushed forward to press him back to the bed.
"What do you do?" The wound is not good, so the wound will crack..."
Li Kaitian's face was reproachful, as if he was blaming his disobedient son, but in his tone, he was full of concern.
Although Ming Deying could not speak, he could also see from his movements and eyes that he cared about Zhuang Xinmin.
"Daddy, let me go!"
In January in the Japanese camp, Zhuang Xinmin was already familiar with the title of Li Kaitian.
At this time, I can't help but say it.
"You call me Daddy, my son, how can you just go like this?" Besides, can you walk out of this room? ”
Li Kaitian first reprimanded him sternly, and then gently patted him on the shoulder to reassure: "Rest assured! We have already discussed that we don't have to worry about it bothering us, we know a very secret place, and when your body recovers a little, we will hide you where you are. ”
Every Red Army soldier is the same, and he is not willing to bother them, so Li Kaitian understands Zhuang Xinmin's current situation very well.
"Just recuperate from your injuries, and then you'll bring us a good life!"
Li Kaitian, who had helped many Red Army soldiers, knew how to appease them.
Sure enough, at this point, Zhuang Xinmin fell silent and nodded.
"Okay, hurry up and eat your food, raise your body well, the situation is fine, and we will send you to the cave."
In order to be able to entertain and supplement the nutrition of Zhuang Xinmin, Li Kaitian and Ming Deying can be said to have shaved out the bottom of the family and made a hearty meal.
For this, Zhuang Xinmin knew at a glance that he was also a child of a poor family, and he was running around with the Red Army, and this chicken alone was not necessarily willing to eat for the New Year.
However, he did not say anything, just silently remembered it in his heart, and asked the two to enjoy it together.
After that, Li Kaitian and Ming Deying took good care of Zhang Xinmin, helping him clean his body every day, and using herbs to help heal wounds according to some ancestral recipes.
After a slight relaxation of his body, zhuang Xinmin was hidden at night, but the two still went to the mountain every day to take care of Zhuang Xinmin on the pretext of looking for mountain goods on the mountain.
Day and night, there is always someone around to take care of it.
During this time, Rikou also searched the village and the mountains many times, but fortunately could not find a hiding place.
In a few months, the relationship between the three people was more really close to the family.
Li Kaitian and Ming Deying are well-deserved regeneration parents for Zhuang Xinmin.
Although he wanted to stay and help Li Kaitian and Ming Deying and his wife, Zhuang Xinmin knew that only when the revolution was victorious and the Japanese were beaten back could the people really start to live a good life.
Therefore, he must return to the ranks and dedicate his strength to the War of Resistance.
Again, it's not the first time.
Every Red Army soldier saved by Ming Deying and his wife will eventually return to the ranks of the War of Resistance and shed their blood for the liberation of the Chinese nation.
Zhuang Xinmin returned to the team and continued to fight the Japanese Kou.
However, he never forgot Li Kaitian and Ming Deying in his heart.
After the victory of the War of Resistance, there was a civil war.
The flames of war are still raging on the land of China, and Zhuang Xinmin is constantly fighting for the faith in his heart and for the future that can make the broad masses of the people live happily.
Finally, October 1, 1949.
Founding Ceremony
Zhuang Xinmin heard Chairman Mao's proclamation: "Chinese people, starting today, stand up!" ”
The heart is full of excitement, and the goal that has been spent for many years with his life has finally been achieved today.
He did not know his "regenerative parents", And Li Kaitian and Ming Deying heard whether they had heard it or not.
Are you proud of him?
However, at this moment, the world is at peace, and it is also time to do filial piety for "parents" as a "son".
He kept searching, inquiring.
Zhuang Xinmin, who was already a bureau-level cadre at the moment, was still crying like a child after seeing the couple.
"Father, mother, son come to see you two old."
After Mingdeying's death in 1995, Zhuang Xinmin set up a spiritual hall in his home to worship and asked his son to go to Yinan County every year to visit the tomb of Mingdeying.
Before his death, he was still constantly urging the children not to forget to be grateful, to always remember this great and selfless "red sister-in-law", and to remember the kindness of the people.
The term "red sister-in-law" does not refer only to Germany and Britain, but to those Yimeng women who rescued the wounded and supported the front line during the war years, they are the most trusted relatives of the children and soldiers of the Red Army, and they are great figures born in the ordinary.
The Shandong red sister-in-law who rescued the wounded of the Eighth Route Army with milk, the mother of the Eighth Route Army who risked her life to hide materials for the troops, the people who used a cart to push out the victorious Chinese revolution, and the Shajiabang people who relied on reeds to cover the wounded, every step of the Chinese revolution was driven by the people's firm will and selfless spirit.
Ming Deying and Li Kaitian are such great people.
About Mingde Yingna's act of saving the soldiers in danger with milk, and the act of desperately protecting and caring for Zhuang Xinmin, it was written into the novel "Red Sister-in-law", and was compiled into the Peking Opera "Red Yun Gang" and the dance song "Yi Meng Song".
The story of Ling Yimeng Hong's sister-in-law saving the wounded with milk spread throughout the country, and it became a household name and awe-inspiring.
Ming Deying is also recognized as the prototype of art forming Yimeng Hongjie, which has won people's love and respect, and people have sung for it.
