Chapter 78: Blending in with the Enemy Army
Usami Yuki knocked on the door of Kanna's office and walked in. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
At this time, Kannayu was resting on a chair, and when he saw her come in, he asked, "Yuki, what are you looking for me?"
Usa saw Yuki bow first before saying, "Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, the rebels who came out of the forest today have all been dealt with. It's just that the two people who suddenly broke in in the morning don't care?"
Shen Wuyu supported his head with one arm against the back of the chair, his thumb gently rubbed on his temples, his face showed a little tiredness, and he was a little weak to speak: "Although the strength of those two people is not weak, they are not to be afraid. Leave them alone for now, settle the rebel affairs, and I'll go back and explain to my father. As long as he is satisfied, our plan can continue or even expand, and that's all it matters. As for these so-called god worshippers, if I don't go to them, they will find them sooner or later, and then they will be wiped out in one fell swoop. ”
"What Your Highness is talking about is how they, the reckless men who think they represent justice, are worthy of being enemies of Your Highness. ”
"I'm a little tired and want to take a break, so you can go and do things first. The No. 2 machine is a bit badly damaged, and someone will be sent back tomorrow to repair it. ”
"Yes, fortunately. Your Highness, rest well, you can't be too tired. ”
"Ahh ”
――――――
When he entered the village with Takahashi, the village was already lit up with sporadic lights. At this time, I'm afraid that every family is cooking dinner.
Looking at the familiar scene, there was suddenly a strange feeling. Recently, there have been so many changes that it seems that the whole world has become a different thing. Standing on the side of the road for a long time, I didn't know where to go.
"Seven stars, are we going to stay here like this?"
Takahashi looked around, and felt that it was too suspicious to wander on the side of the road like this, and if he was caught by the army, it would be hopeless to sneak in.
"Hmm...... I figured out where to go. Otherwise, let's visit the village chief first, the army should be received by him, maybe you can get some inside information. ”
As they spoke, a man hurried past them and came back to a halt in front of them.
"Isn't this a small break!"
This person is the village head, Kurata.
"Ah, village chief. "I was going to visit you at your house." ”
Kurata hurriedly walked over and grabbed his shoulders, laughed a few times, and said, "Oops, just right." Come back with me, and eat at my house tonight. ”
"Yes, thank you, village chief. Well, I brought a friend, can you go with me?"
"Okay, good, all gone, welcome. ”
Warmly invited by Kurata, Broken and Takahashi followed him to his house with confidence. Kurata is over sixty years old, but his body is very healthy, and he walks like a fly, even more youthful and energetic than Takahashi Kazuma.
On the way, he first inquired about the situation after cutting off the imperial capital. He only said that he couldn't get along in the imperial capital, and it was not easy to find a job, so he would come back first and find another way out for the time being. And Takahashi was a friend he met in the imperial capital, and the two of them agreed to go out together in the future, so they came with him this time.
Kurata also sighed when he heard it, it is not easy for young people to go out and wander, so if they can't do it, they still go home, and they will echo it all the way. In a short time, the three of them arrived.
Kurata is the only one in the family, he and his wife, and his son does not live with them.
There were two more guests today, so he asked his wife to cook more delicious food to entertain. He sat in the guest room with Broken and Takahashi to chat, mainly Kurada and Broken said, Takahashi sat silently the rest of the time except for answering Kurata occasionally asked him questions.
After chatting, he began to try to inquire about the army.
"Village chief, I just saw several soldiers walking on the road, where did they come from?"
"Oh, you don't know yet. Recently, there was a rebel army hiding in Tamagawa County, and they were ordered to exterminate the rebels. Have you ever seen the forest across the Tamagawa River burned?"
When Kurata said this, his tone was full of pity.
"See, they did it? I thought it was a fire. ”
Although he knew the cause and effect of the incident, in front of Kurata, he still had to pretend that he had just returned from a long trip and had no idea about the affairs of his hometown.
"Yes, it was the army that set fire in order to force out the rebels hiding in the jungle. ”
"It's really ......"
The two of them sighed at each other, and then asked, "Then the army is stationed in our village?"
"Well, I lived in the orphanage where you used to live, and I arranged for a dozen people to do temporary reception and service. ”
Speaking of the former orphanage, I was even more emotional.
Twenty years ago, an old gentleman who moved from the county to live in this village built the orphanage at his own expense, and his wife continued to run it after his death.
This kind old woman is the one who adopted the broken ones. At its peak, there were more than 40 children in the orphanage, most of whom were adopted from nearby villages, and everyone always called her Grandma Kondo.
Nine years ago, Grandma Kondo also passed away due to illness. Because the couple had no children and no daughters before their deaths, the orphanage suddenly fell into an embarrassing state of no one to manage.
At first, they all relied on the help of the villagers and the older children to take care of the children, but as time went by, there were fewer and fewer people to help, and the older children left one by one to find their own way out, and the orphanage became more and more clean and declining.
Until more than seven years ago, there was basically no one in the orphanage. When an army was stationed nearby for a few days, it requisitioned an orphanage with only six or seven children, and asked the remaining orphanages and their companions to work for them.
For more than 10 days, several children were always bullied by the army, beating and scolding them at every turn, refusing to eat, and even using them as live targets for gun training. One of the children was injured in the leg when a soldier accidentally misfired while playing with a gun, resulting in irreversible lifelong disability.
In addition, he also witnessed the scenes of their trials, tortures, and shooting of prisoners, all of which are memories that are difficult to recall.
After the army left, the children moved out of the orphanage, and the orphanage was completely abandoned.
He moved to a dilapidated hut abandoned in the mountains alone, and began to live an independent life alone, when he was less than nine years old.
This time the army lives there again, and I really don't know what to say when I think about it. But he's going to get in and get in, and he can't just back down here.
"Won't the people who help be bullied?"
Kurata shook his head and returned: "This army is relatively well disciplined, not particularly arrogant and domineering. ”
"Oh, that's right. So, village chief, do you think I can go over and help?"
Unconsciously rolled his eyes from side to side when he stopped talking, to relieve tension.
Kurata didn't seem to notice his little move, but just asked, "Are you going?"
"Well, there should be a salary, it's always good to earn some money, which can be used as a travel expense for the next trip. ”
Cut off staring at Kurata with longing eyes, if he arranged it, it would be much easier, and it would not be easy to be suspicious.
Kurata lowered his eyebrows and thought for a while, and said, "Okay, you kid is really hard-working, you can go to the kitchen to help, it just so happens that they are short of manpower over there." ”
"Okay, thank you village chief, thank you village chief. ”
Broken was so excited that he rushed up from his chair and bowed to Kurata like pounding garlic, which made Kurata laugh.
Takahashi saw that he had successfully "sold" himself, but he didn't say anything to him, so he whispered, "That, what about me?"
If he didn't speak, Kurata would have almost forgotten him.
At this time, hearing him ask, he hurriedly asked Kurata again: "Village chief, can I bring my friend?"
Kurata was very cheerful: "Okay, okay, it's not too much for both of you to go, and generally no one takes the initiative to apply for this errand." ”
Receiving his affirmative answer, Broken and Takahashi tacitly glanced at each other while breathing a sigh of relief.
Whew, smoothly approaching the enemy troops.
That night, the two had dinner at Kurata's house, and Kurata stayed with them for another night.
The next morning, when it was not dawn, Kurata came and told them to report to the army's kitchen.
The army does not do much to inspect the people arranged for them in the village, and generally only the person in charge is satisfied with it, anyway, it is just a temporary helper. God Wuyu will not take care of such trivial matters.
Kurata took Broken and Takahashi to meet the head of the army's kitchen. The man saw that the two of them looked good-looking, Takahashi even looked a little weak, and they were both teenagers, so they couldn't do much bad things, so they were immediately put in the kitchen, which happened to be too few people.
