Tie Zhu hit his helmet hard, trying to come up with a good plan.
“Helmet, helmet, helmet! Got it!”
Tie Zhu was so excited he almost jumped off the ground; he finally thought of a good idea, and it was taught to him by Shunliu Brother!
Wang Shunliu slowly took his helmet off his head, moving carefully because the pillars he was dodging were very narrow. Just a slight mistake could expose Tie Zhu, who was hiding behind them. In the distance, a Japanese Soldier was watching closely for any sign of weakness.
“Bang!”
Another muffled sound echoed as the Japanese Soldier's bullet hit the pillar again. Tie Zhu successfully took off his helmet and let out a long sigh of relief; now it was time to see if the enemy would fall for his trick.
Tie Zhu slowly pushed his helmet out with his gun, revealing just a little bit before quickly pulling it back, as if accidentally showing a flaw, waiting for the Japanese Soldier to shoot.
He extended the helmet again, but this time Tie Zhu quickly pulled it back. The Japanese Soldier did not fire.
Feeling a bit frustrated, Tie Zhu had already prepared himself; as soon as the Japanese Soldier fired, he would take advantage of that moment to dash out from behind the pillar and run into the nearby house to plan further.
“Maybe it's because he didn't react in time; that must be it! One of those Japanese Soldiers definitely didn't react quickly enough!”
Tie Zhu found an excuse for why the Japanese Soldier hadn't fired, calming himself down and adjusting his mindset. He slowly let his helmet peek out again and then quickly pulled it back.
The helmet was hit by a bullet, and Tie Zhu's weapon nearly slipped from his hands!
“Now's my chance!” Successfully drawing fire from the Japanese Soldier, Tie Zhu quickly stood up and ran out from behind the pillar, diving into the nearby house.
“Bang!”
The heavy gunshot rang out again. Once inside, Tie Zhu hurriedly checked his body; he wasn't injured—the Japanese Soldier hadn't hit him!
Feeling a sense of relief, Tie Zhu leaned against the door, holding a gun while sitting on the ground, tears streaming down his face once again.
"Shunliu Brother, what should I do?"
Tears unknowingly flowed from Tie Zhu's eyes. At that moment, he resembled a helpless child. Just moments ago, in order to survive and seek revenge, he had shown extraordinary resilience and calmness. Now that he felt somewhat safe, his emotions erupted completely.
"Hey, kid, from your accent, you're from Dabie Mountain?"
"Yes, sir. Are you also from Dabie Mountain?"
"Don't call me sir. My name is Wang Shunliu. What's yours? Where in Dabie Mountain are you from?"
"My name is Tie Zhu. Hehe, if I don't call you Wang Shunliu, what should I call you?"
"You can call me Shunliu Brother. You don't look too old; I'm definitely older than you. Calling me brother won't put you at a disadvantage!"
"Alright, Shunliu Brother!"
"Good! From now on, you're my little brother. If you have any problems or if anyone bullies you, just tell me. I'll make sure to beat them up!"
"Okay, okay! Shunliu Brother!"
······
"Tie Zhu, come here. Do you smoke? Look at what I brought for you!"
"What good stuff is it, Shunliu Brother?"
"Top-quality Xiaodongyang Cigarettes! I won them in a bet with the Company Commander yesterday. They're Sakura Brand. Want to give them a try?"
"Wow, Shunliu Brother, you're amazing! You can win things from the Company Commander! Cough cough cough... cough cough cough..."
"You brat, if you can't smoke, why are you pretending? Watch me, this is how you smoke!"
...
"Tie Zhu, Tie Zhu, come here quickly, I got something good again!"
"Shunliu Brother, you didn't win cigarettes from Company Commander again, did you? I don't smoke those little foreign cigarettes; they have a weird taste!"
"No, look at this, ta-da!"
"Wow, a can! What's inside? Shunliu Brother, where did you get this?"
"Hehe, I bet with that Li Datou from the supply unit today. That guy is a total gambler and loses every time. I won two cans; I figured you've never had this Western stuff, so I'm giving one to you!"
"Shunliu Brother, this is too precious; I can't accept it!"
"You brat, I'm your brother and you're my little brother. It's only right for an older brother to give something to his younger brother. Just take it!"
"But... but!"
"No buts, just take it!"
"Alright then, Shunliu Brother, can we eat it together? I don't even know how to open this thing."
"Sure, watch me!"
"Shunliu Brother, you're really amazing!"
...
"Tie Zhu, Tie Zhu, come here quickly; I got something good again!"
"This time what is it, Shunliu Brother, how do you always manage to get good stuff?"
"Hehe, let me show you!"
"Meat? Where did you get this, Shunliu Brother?"
"I'm telling you, yesterday our unit passed by Liu Family Village, I went for a stroll and saw a house that was empty. There was this hanging on the wall, so I took it!"
"But, Shunliu Brother, this is stealing! You can't eat it!"
"Are you silly? Liu Family Village hasn't had anyone living there for a long time. How can this be called stealing? This is called taking! Are you going to eat it?"
"I'm not eating it!"
"Really not eating?"
"Really not eating!"
"It smells so good!"
······
"Tie Zhu, come here, I brought you two apples!"
"Tie Zhu, come on, I got you two buns!"
"Tie Zhu, don't be afraid on the battlefield, just follow me closely!"
"Tie Zhu, don't be scared, I'm here!"
"Tie Zhu······"
Scenes of spending time with Shunliu Brother continuously flashed before Tie Zhu's eyes. In Tie Zhu's view, Shunliu Brother was an omnipotent existence. Even when the entire unit hadn't eaten meat for a week or two, he could always find a way to bring meat to Tie Zhu. Whenever there was something delicious or fun, it was always delivered to Tie Zhu first.
"Shunliu Brother, I miss you!"
The more Tie Zhu thought about it, the more tears flowed, and he had already turned into a crying mess.
The gun he was holding had been thrown aside. Tie Zhu tilted his head back and cried loudly, his voice filled with sorrow and despair.
"Shunliu Brother! Where are you? Please come back!"
Tie Zhu felt like he was about to break down. His mind was filled with various beautiful memories of Shunliu Brother, but the last memory remained at the moment he said goodbye to Shunliu Brother before going to sleep on the second floor of the hotel.
"It's all my fault, all my fault! If I hadn't gone to sleep, Shunliu Brother definitely wouldn't have gone out. If he hadn't gone out, he definitely wouldn't have..."
"Bang!"
Another muffled sound followed by a thud reached Tie Zhu's ears. In a panic, he scrambled up from the ground and peeked outside from behind the door. He saw another corpse on the street—a Kuomintang Soldier lying not far from Liuzi, blood slowly pooling around him.
