"Buzz ......"

The sound of the car came from afar, and the startled passers-by who were walking on the side of the dirt road hurriedly stepped aside, and no one had the slightest intention of competing with the car.

You must know that in the current Japanese society, none of the people who can drive a car will be simple, and the worst person will be the director of an important government department.

If there were Americans in the car, it would be even more remarkable, and if they were scratched by such a person, there would be no reason at all, and when the time came, not only would they not get any money, but they might also cause trouble for their own families, which is the consensus of all Japanese ordinary people.

In this era, the speed of cars is not faster than that of trains, and Kento Higashidai took over the mission from Tokyo and drove all the way, except for the necessary rest and replenishment along the way, he drove almost all the time.

In this way, it took almost two days for Kento to enter the territory of Okayama Prefecture, and then it took almost a day to drive into his hometown of 'Sorghum City'.

Sorghum is a very poor city in Okayama Prefecture, far from some of the seaside towns, and although the fishermen on the seashore do not have much land, they can at least make a living by fishing and keep themselves from starving to death.

However, Sorghum City not only does not have much land, but it is also not connected to the coast, which makes the life of Japanese civilians living here very difficult.

In the years of the war, it was common to eat the last meal without the next meal, and now although the war has stopped, Japan has also been defeated, and what is even worse is that the whole of Japan is now experiencing the largest famine in history.

The combination of so many negative factors has made Sorghum City, a poor place that is already underfed, even more difficult.

Although the famine did not cause people to die of starvation, it was completely late in the cities, and now the refugees are lying in the streets and alleys every day waiting for food relief.

All kinds of negative situations have squeezed the lives of the people here in Sorghum City to the lowest level.

Not to mention other necessities such as clothing, pants and shoes.

Here, the whole family usually only has one set of clothes and pants, and the children have no chance to wear them at all, and they run outside with their bare buttocks when they go out. Only the man who is the head of the family wears precious clothes and trousers when he goes out to run errands, and as for shoes, he can only wear home-woven rattan straw sandals.

Although he was a little tired after three days of driving, when he entered the scope of his hometown, Dongtai Kento still felt a shock and invigoration, after all, this is the hometown where he was born and raised, although he has a lot of bad memories here. But he still remembers the beauty of his hometown in his heart.

After driving the car onto a dirt road. Todai Kento slowed down the speed of the car very slowly, and scratched the walking fellows, but when he saw that the fellows were far away in his car and began to hide in the grass under the dirt road, he knew that he was worried in vain.

"The conditions of the villagers are still so poor, they are not stronger than when I left, they are all thin, and the life in them should be difficult, but I don't know how our Gao Village is now, and I don't know if those monsters have gone down to harm the villagers. If they dare to attack the villagers, I, Dongtai Jianren, will never let them go. ”

Touching the scene, Dongtai Jianren The thin people on the dirt road in the village immediately walked to the people in his village, and at the same time thought of the monsters who forced him to leave his hometown in the first place, and when he thought of this, he immediately stepped on the accelerator of the car.

The car quickly disappeared on the country road, and a group of people hiding in the grass beside the road were all relieved. Without the hustle and bustle of the mechanical 'monster', everyone is back to their old ways.

Gaocun is located at the foot of Gaocun Mountain in Gaoliang City, and because of its proximity to the mountains, the land here is even scarcer than the rest of Gaoliang City, which leads to a large proportion of the Gaocun people living here are landless and destitute households.

Although there is no land, fortunately, there is a high village mountain behind Gao Village. Usually be diligent and get some mountain mushrooms, wild vegetables, wild fruits and the like.

If you are lucky, maybe you can get a little game to taste, which can be used to improve your own food, and the principle of relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and the sea to eat the sea has been greatly carried forward by the villagers of Gaocun.

But I don't know exactly when it started. Gao Cunshan, who has been raising villagers, has become less tolerant.

About five years ago, some villagers in Gao Village went into the mountains to look for food and never returned, and then many villagers disappeared into the mountains one after another, which made the villagers of Gao Village have a lot of fear in their hearts about this Gao Village Mountain.

The incident that happened two years ago made the villagers of Gao Village no longer dare to enter the mountain, and now the villagers only dare to move at a distance of 200 meters at the foot of the mountain.

Even if they couldn't stand the hunger, the villagers only dared to pick up a little wild vegetables at the foot of the outermost part of Gaocun Mountain, and as for going deep into the mountains, everyone didn't dare to do this kind of thing, after all, they had seen those terrifying existences with their own eyes.

"Hey...... This year's harvest is coming to an end, and if we cut off the five and a half layers of Jiaogong, I'm afraid we'll be starving again this year!

(During Japan's Warring States period, the agricultural tax was very severe, and some harsh daimyo sometimes made farmers hand over perverted taxes such as Gongjiu Minyi, but even this did not starve the peasants to death at that time.) And some good-hearted daimyo will at least make farmers pay a tax rate of more than six gongs. ）

(And these are just the public taxes paid by the daimyo, and usually some local elders will also ask farmers to pay some local land taxes.) Such a high tax rate Japanese farmers usually did not have enough to eat in ancient times, which caused the Japanese people to crave food, usually ordinary people only eat one rice ball a day, with a radish strip, they will eat very happy. ）

(This situation of ultra-high agricultural tax did not change fundamentally until the Meiji Restoration, when the agricultural tax rate paid by Japanese farmers was reduced to the lowest point in history, but there were still some discrepancies when it was implemented in various places, such as the commission of the scallop handed over to the old man, which became the local land tax, and the amount of the land tax was determined according to the local situation.) ）

(In general, after the Meiji Restoration, the life of Japanese farmers became much better, but in the years during World War II, the pressure on Japanese farmers was still very high, and even after the end of World War II, it was not able to ease up because it caught up with the largest famine in Japanese history.) ）

Tian Zecunyi bent down to pull up the weeds in the field, while whispering about his current life. It seemed that he felt too empty in his stomach, so he stood up and tightened the straw rope around his waist to resist the tumbling in his stomach.

"Gollum"

Gently rubbing his screaming belly, Tian Zecun turned his head and put his eyes on the food box on the ground, and smashed his mouth. In the end, I still didn't give up.

Tian Ze Cunichi planned to leave the two rice balls in the lunch box for his wife and daughter at home, because he knew that the two of them ate less than him on weekdays.

"Hey. There are mountains that you can't enter, but it would be nice to be able to enter the mountains of Takamura, and now in the summer of June, there are many wild vegetables in the mountains. ”

After giving up eating the rice balls in the food box, Tian Zecun leaned his head on the edge of the field, and the mountain behind him felt a burst of emotion.

"Buzz ......"

A roar of cars pulled Tian Ze Cunyi's mind back, and following the sound, he looked far away on the road outside the village, and found that it was a jeep, which should be called a jeep.

At the beginning, their village chief went out to run errands. When he came back, he told them a lot of things in the city, including this jeep, Tian Zecun, who had been listening to it at the time, didn't remember anything else, but he remembered this bullish jeep in his heart.

Now this kind of jeep, which is rare in the city, will actually come to their small village, I am afraid that some big man is going to come.

Thinking of this, Tian Ze Cunyi couldn't care about pulling weeds. Carrying his hoe on his shoulder, he quickly ran to the food box, picked up the food box and began to run to the village, he wanted to lift the news that the jeep was going into the village and inform the villagers.

Since the emaciated villagers, Dongtai Jianren's homing has become even stronger, and he drove the jeep as fast as he could along the way. The bumpy path almost knocked him apart, but he didn't care about any of that, because he wanted to go back to the village as soon as possible

"There is still no change outside the village, it is still so quiet, I don't know how the village is now, whether everyone is doing well, whether those monsters have come out of the mountain to hurt people. Huh......"

Through the car window, Dongtai Jianren's hometown, which has not changed much, couldn't help but murmur softly in his mouth.

However, when Kento Dongtai looked in the distance, he found a figure, which made him a little excited.

Because the person who can appear in this realm, then the other party must be someone from their village, and at that moment, Dongtai Jianren stepped on the accelerator under his feet a little deeper, and chased straight towards the figure in front of him.

The location of the field in Tian Zecun's family is very good, it is less than fifteen minutes away from the village, and if he runs quickly, he can enter the village in less than ten minutes.

As soon as Tian Zecun's jeep was there, he began to run towards the village, but before he could run far, he heard the 'buzzing' sound behind him getting louder and louder, which made him know that the jeep should be about to catch up.

didn't have time to wipe the sweat from his forehead, Tian Zecunyi took advantage of the crooked work to look behind him, and immediately got into the grass on the side of the road, and carefully squatted in the grass to get closer and closer to the jeep.

"Oh my God, this jeep is running too fast, and it has only been so long before it has come to me from so far, which is much faster than the ox cart in the village, and there is no hope of being 'fast legs' with this guy. ”

The villagers who were running crazy in front of him were getting closer and closer, and Dongtai Kenren chased after him with one foot on the accelerator, but when he was about to catch up with the other party, what he didn't expect was that the other party actually ran into the grass, and hid directly like the farmers he met on the road.

"Squeak ......"

A screeching sound of brakes sounded on the dirt road, and after Todai Kento stopped the car, he turned his head to the grass on the side of the road, and with his energy-enhanced eyes, he could see a young man hiding inside and watching him carefully.

By carefully observing the platform, Kento recognized the identity of the person hiding in the grass, who should be his former neighbor Tian Ze Cunichi.

"Dididi"

"Tian Zejun come out quickly!"

Tian Ze Cunyi, who was carefully squatting in the grass, first found that the jeep was parked on the road not far from him, and then the people in the car began to move towards the position where he was hiding, so that he didn't dare to move, for fear that the other party would come to catch the strong man.

Tian Ze Chunyi, who has never been far away, has heard the village chief say that during the war a few years ago, people from the army often went to the countryside to arrest these men and send them to the battlefield.

Thinking that he might be caught, Tian Zecunyi didn't dare to make the slightest move, for fear of attracting the attention of the other party, but what he didn't expect was that the jeep called loudly three times, and then the person sitting in the car actually shouted his name at the side where he was hiding, which made him immediately frightened a little overwhelmed.

"How can he know my name, is he really sent by the government to recruit soldiers, isn't the war over? If I am conscripted and left, what will I do at home, Hanako and the child will have no one to take care of, woo woo woo ......"

Three car horns honked, and a call was not answered, but the response was a suppressed sob, which made Dongtai Kenren feel a little strange, and he couldn't help but think: "Is there anything else in the village?"

Thinking of this, Kento Todai no longer expected his former neighbor to take the initiative to come out, but pushed the car door and jumped into the grass on the side of the road, walking towards the place where Tian Ze Cunyi was hiding.

Tian Zecunyi didn't hide too far, and Todai Kento came to the other party in a few steps, but when he came to his former neighbor, he found that the other party had knocked his head on the grass and cried bitterly.

Jing's neighbor cried so sadly, Dongtai Kenren immediately asked: "Tian Zejun, what happened, if there is anything that can't be solved, tell me, if you can help the upper and lower levels, you will definitely help." ”

Tian Ze Cunyi, who was falling into inner fear, suddenly heard the question in front of him, and didn't react for a while who asked, so he replied directly: "I'm going to be conscripted to fight on the front line, what should my wife and daughter do at home, woo woo woo ......"
