Chapter 207: All the People Are Soldiers II
"Xiao Xiguang has a good life in Muling. His own sister was sent to a comfort station in North China, where he was comforted by other Japanese women. Xiaobao said unscrupulously.
Li Yongzhe saw Xiaobao talking so freely, and his courage also increased.
"Actually, His Excellency Hikaru Konishi went to Liangzi River this time because he had an urgent matter temporarily." Li Yongzhe glanced at Xiaobao and said.
"Is there any other story in this?" Xiaobao asked.
"There is a woman in Liangzihe who is pregnant, and her husband is still fighting in North China. Therefore, His Excellency Hikaru Konishi is going to deal with it urgently. Li Yongzhe looked at Xiaobao meaningfully.
Xiaobao understood. The people in front are not afraid of death in the war for the sake of bullshit kings, and the people in the back play with his woman, and they also play with a big belly!
"Actually, it's not easy for Japanese women either. Being able to farm here in the pioneer group, although it is a little harder, it is also very good for them to be tired. ”
"Looks like I can't stay here tonight. I don't know how many people have covered the bedding on this bed. Xiaobao shook his head and said.
"If you need it tonight, you can talk to Takeda Ko. If you can't say it, I can say it for you. Li Yongzhe said to Xiaobao with a smile.
"No," Xiaobao flatly refused. Only Feng Zhi's mother regards broken shoes as treasures, and he will not pick up Xiao Xiguang's broken shoes to wear.
"You speak Chinese well, where did you learn it?" Xiaobao asked Li Yongzhe.
"Our home is right on the edge of the Yalu River. From my grandfather to my father, what I did was to sell things from North Korea to Andong, and then buy things from Andong and sell them back to North Korea. That's why almost everyone in our family speaks Chinese. Li Yongzhe replied.
"Tomorrow, when Konishi returns, you tell him to wait for me here. I'll come back tomorrow afternoon. You tell him that, and he understands. I'd better go back to Whetstone. Xiaobao said to Li Yongzhe.
"Okay, that's what I'll tell him. So, I send you. Soon after the establishment of the pioneer group, there were very few livestock, so I will help you go to the place where the Han people live and hire their carriage to pull you around. Li Yongzhe said.
Li Yongzhe took Xiaobao out of the gate of the pioneer group and walked to the foot of the mountain in the west.
"All the flat land was requisitioned by the Pioneer Regiment. Originally, the Han people who lived here moved to the foot of the mountain. In the spring of the next year, Konishi Guang asked them to farm for the pioneer group. Li Yongzhe explained to Xiaobao.
It's better to have land to grow than to be driven around by the Japanese and not even have a place to stay. At least not starvation.
The two men walked forward, from the black earth to the sandy land, and then to the place that was half sand and half gravel.
"That's where the Han people live." Li Yongzhe pointed to the right with his hand.
Xiaobao turned his head and saw more than two dozen roofs suddenly appear on the ground. The roof is covered directly on the ground.
Isn't this a manhole? When Xiaobao was in Toad Mountain, he lived in the ground. If you walk unintentionally, you will walk on the roof, and then you will fall into the house by stepping on the roof.
The manhole is to dig a pit in the ground and build a house on top of the pit. Just open a small window under the canopy. From the outside into the house, go lower and lower. It is cold and damp to live inside, and only people who really have no way to live in such a house.
There are several tall bud rice buildings next to the manholes. From the outside, you can see that there are mostly corn cobs piled inside.
"Is there anyone in there?" Li Yongzhe squatted on the ground and shouted to a manhole. It was like shouting into a well.
After a while, the small door of the manhole opened. A gray head poked out and looked up, and saw two men in Japanese military uniforms squatting on it, and shrank back in fright.
"Do you have any livestock at home? Take me on a trip to the whetstone and give me a dollar! Xiaobao shouted.
After a while, the gray head was revealed again. "There is only one small donkey in the family, can you use the donkey to pull the cart?" A hoarse voice shouted.
"Okay! Just don't push the donkey down! Xiaobao shouted.
The doors of the manhole were all opened, and an old man with gray hair in his sixties was desperately pulling a donkey out with his face turned in.
It turned out that the old man had also pulled the donkey into the ground and raised it.
"Uncle, you are so patient. You eat and sleep in it, and the donkey poops and pees in it. Can you stand this? Xiaobao exclaimed.
The old man was startled when he heard a man in military uniform call himself uncle. Stumbling and saying, "No way." Being tethered outside beckons both thieves and wolves. My wife and I are pointing to it for life. Donkey dung is okay, but I can't stand donkey urine. ”
The old man tied the donkey outside and pulled out a small cart only one meter wide from the firewood.
Xiaobao looked at the poor old man and then at the poor donkey, and said to Li Yongzhe, "Thank you, go back." Tell Hikaru Konishi to wait for me tomorrow. ”
Li Yongzhe looked at the thin donkey and smiled bitterly, he nodded and turned back.
The old man put the donkey on the small cart. He brought another bundle of bud rice stalks and put them on the cart. Xiaobao and the old man both got into the trolley, and the two of them filled the trolley.
"Uncle, why don't you sell the food at home?" Xiaobao asked.
"We were kicked out, and we all knew that we were short of money, and we were desperately trying to keep the price of food down. I tighten my belt and just don't sell! "The old man was stubborn.
"I will come to collect the grain in a few days, and the price will be higher than theirs. Uncle, you can sell it to me. Xiaobao said to the old man.
"That's a good idea. But you have to see the real chapter. These days, they're all bastards who use their mouths to coax people. The old man said unmoved.
The two men sat on a squeaky cart that was about to fall apart and headed for Whetstone. When he arrived at Whetstone Town, the old man happily took a dollar and went back. Xiaobao became embarrassed.
Xiaobao is wearing a military uniform and cannot go to the big car shop to live. He inquired for a long time before he was pointed out to find a small inn next to the train station. This place was a resting place for employees on the railroad when Tsarist Russia was in charge of the railway. It has now been converted into a small inn.
What surprised Xiaobao the most was that Zhang Luo, a small hotel, was a young and beautiful young woman.
"Little brother, what's the mix?" The young woman asked, taking a puff on her cigarette pouch and puffing on the smoke ring.
In these years, the professional question is where you mix, what you mix, and where you mix. Because only fools do it, and smart people are bastards.
Xiaobao did not say that he was from the Ministry of Intelligence. He thought for a while and said, "I have a few friends in the pioneer group, and this time I want to go around with a few pioneer groups to collect some food." ”
The young woman's eyes flashed with light. "Which way are you going to go to harvest the grain?" The young woman asked.
Xiaobao's eyes also lit up. "Naturally, it is best to transport it by rail." Xiaobao hurriedly said.
