Chapter 689: Kyoko's Little Luck

The maid suddenly became a maid for the Manchurian army, and this difference was not a change in the object of service, but a change in the nature of the work. Maids are just servants, and being maids for the Manchurian Army is a special worker, and they never have a chance to go home. Moreover, among these 70,000 people, there are very few special occupations, most of them are women from good families, and now let them debauch their bodies, and a few people can do it.

"Don't, no...... We're going home...... Go home ......" As soon as the official told the truth, the women immediately cried and cried, and they clashed left and right to escape.

"Alas!" Several officials sighed, did not speak again, and all turned their heads and left. They couldn't bear to see this human tragedy, but they couldn't help it, if they didn't sacrifice 70,000 women, they were afraid that more people would suffer.

The Japanese soldiers guarding nearby couldn't bear it, but their duty was to do everything but to drive back the women who wanted to escape. With great helplessness, thousands of soldiers drove these poor women to the barracks of the Manchurian army. The women struggled and wept, but they could only be driven to the end of their fate like lambs. The Manchurian army on the lookers was very happy, with evil smiles, and with the cries of the women, they let out bursts of laughter.

The Manchurian army gave grain and rice and reduced the indemnity, so that these women had already repaired the camp for them, and even the tents and beds were ready. As soon as the women entered the barracks, they could start working immediately, and the delicate people even prepared water basins, towels and other things. Japanese soldiers were not allowed to enter the Manchurian barracks, and the Manchurian Army specially sent a regiment to meet them at the camp gate. When the women saw that the Japanese soldiers who escorted them were gone, and they completely fell into the hands of the Manchurians, they cried even more loudly. The Manchurian soldiers received were at the other extreme, you pinched it, I touched it, and they all laughed.

More than 50,000 people are divided into 70,000 women, and each person has a surplus, so the soldiers are naturally happy. But in Acton's view, this is a bit of a waste. These soldiers are venting*, and the scourge is counted as one, not to mention 70,000, even 700,000, they can do it. And this is not a daughter-in-law, there is no need to count by head at all, an average of ten people have a woman. The reason why Acton asked the Meiji government for so many people was actually an accident, and he didn't expect the Meiji government to get so many people at first. But now that people are here, he also has a way, and North Manchurian is actually very short of women now.

After the Xingye immigrants, there were more and more immigrants from Manchuria. At first, due to the continuous war in the Guan, there were many refugees in the Guannai, so a large number of people moved to North Manchuria. However, as the war in the Guanzhong subsided, the natural disasters gradually stopped, and the Chinese felt more and more rural, and fewer and fewer people moved their families. However, after all, there are people who have no place to stand, and they still go to the gate one after another, but these people have no family to drag, and most of them ride alone. There are also single women, but there are very few, most of them are bachelors, and these people have been unable to find a wife for a long time, but it is a factor of social instability. In order to find a way to solve this problem, the government has sold women from Kannai, North Korea, and even Nanyang. But the cost of buying and selling human beings is not low, and the cabinet has always had a headache about this matter, and Acton has come to tens of thousands of women this time, which can be regarded as a useful place.

"Take your pick! Leave those who were originally secretly born, those who are older, those who are tough and scheming, and the others who are placed in other places, and take the time to arrange for them to be transported back to the mainland and handed over to the cabinet to deal with! Acton was very happy to see that there were many people coming, and he could also take the opportunity to make a good relationship with the cabinet.

After the women were driven into the barracks, the Manchurians did not rush to let them into the camp. One is that the Manchurian Army did not know that so many people would come, and the number of camps arranged was a bit insufficient, and there were not so many beds. The second is that these people also score three, six, nine, etc., especially beautiful score first, generally beautiful also score first, those who are eye-catching also score first, and whoever sees who is disgusting also scores first, so they have to be kept and they are graded.

After entering the barracks, everyone was encircled like a flock of sheep, and Kyoko was afraid of abnormality, but after all, there was no choice but to sit on the ground and cry silently. The Maeda sisters who were brought together were by Kyoko's side, but the two sisters didn't think about how Kyoko could be honest. Sister Hanako has been crying all the time, and she wanted to rush out several times, although she was driven back every time, but she kept making trouble. Although her younger sister Haruko is very scared, she is not as strong as Hanako, but every time her sister makes a fuss, she follows behind.

"Hanako, don't make trouble, they have a lot of people and guns, you will suffer!" Kyoko saw that Hanako was making a fuss for a while, and was beaten again, and her face was swollen, so she hurriedly reached out and grabbed her and comforted her.

"No, no, we must not accept our fate like this, we can't suffer such an insult when we die, we must go out!" Hanako is an optimistic character, but she has an extremely strong temperament and is an unyielding person.

"Hanako......" Kyoko wanted to persuade Hanako to be patient for the time being, but when the words came to her lips, she stopped again.

It's not that Kyoko doesn't want to run away, she still has a sick mother and a young brother at home, and she wants to go back to take care of her family even if she doesn't care about herself. But it's useless to escape like this, the rafters rot first, and if you make such a big noise, not only will you not be able to escape, but you will also be targeted by the guards. But if you don't make trouble now, it's just as useless, and the women who are picking up guests in the tents not far away, they can already be seen. There were similar tents around them, and the Manchurians seemed to be deploying them, and it would not be long before they would be placed in. As soon as the body enters the tent like a demon cave, it will be too late, not only will there be almost no chance of escaping, and even if you are lucky enough to escape, all that is left is a ravaged body.

While Kyoko was struggling, the Manchurians began to identify them. The faces of those who have been seen will be marked with colored marks, and no matter how much you wipe them, you can't erase them. And people with different colors of markings will be separated, and the Manchurian army will separate them with a long rope, and anyone who wants to cross the line will be beaten. Kyoko and Hanako sisters were also marked on their faces, Kyoko silently endured tears, and Hanako sisters almost bit the Manchurian's hand. This made the Manchurian very angry, and the blue mark on the Hanako sisters' faces, which was originally the same as Kyoko's, was changed to green, and their positions did not move, but there was an extra rope between them and Kyoko.

After a long time, when it was almost dark, the Manchurians began to drive them away. Kyoko really wanted to be with Sister Hanako, but she didn't have this opportunity at all, her hand was beaten from the rope like a trench in the sky, and she could only obediently follow the crowd away, watching Sister Hanako become more and more blurred. At night, Kyoko and his party of hundreds of people were arranged in a place like a horse circle, with no roof and no bedding, and everyone could only fall asleep in a trembling daze with fear and tears.

The next morning, when Kyoko, who was cold and hungry, woke up again, there were only a few dozen people left, and the others were all taken away at some point. A Japanese man with a Kansai accent appeared in front of them, but the man's attitude was similar to that of the Manchurian, and he was also wearing a Manchurian military uniform. He wants to take Kyoko and the others to work, so that the women can earn their own food money. The word "work" frightened everyone, and women's instinctive fear made it difficult for them to even stand up. The same was true of the Japanese in Manchurian uniforms, the woman was slow, so he used a stick to solve the problem, and Kyoko and others had to be driven on the road.

When they arrived at the workplace, everyone almost cheered, and Kyoko cried with joy. Their job was not to take off their clothes, their job was to wash the clothes that the Manchurians had taken off. This is really great news, it turns out that their job is really only to be maids, and the Manchurians do not want to defile them, which is really good. After each person got a rice ball, everyone worked happily, and although the promised 100 yen may have been fake, they all worked very hard, and doing laundry was much better than picking up customers.

The days of laundry passed quickly, they had enough to eat every day, their lodging was no longer a horse pen, and they had barracks and bedding, which made the young girls feel at ease, and the laughter returned to their faces. In the terrifying Manchurian military camp, there are often laughter like silver lings. Although the mood is relaxed, when everyone chats while doing laundry, there are more of them, and Kyoko knows a lot of things. A Japanese with a Kansai accent is their foreman, supervising their work every day. This guy who used to bend Erlang's legs was not a Manchurian who could speak Japanese, he was a Japanese from Kansai. However, he is no longer Japanese, he has participated in the mercenaries of the Manchurians, and because of his good performance in battle, he now has Manchurian nationality. It was because he was injured and knew Japanese that he came to be Kyoko's foreman.

Foreman Yamamoto's attitude was not very good at first, but as he became more familiar, this young guy also began to chat with everyone, and his attitude improved a lot. And he is very good, Kyoko once accidentally washed a gorgeous military uniform, it is said that it is the military uniform of a general who can command hundreds of people, Kyoko is afraid to death, and is very worried that he will be punished recently. But Yamamoto took the blame, saying that he accidentally broke it, and the Manchurians did not pursue anything, which made Kyoko very grateful.

But there are some things that Kyoko will know sooner or later. Another laundry team not far away suddenly left, and Yamamoto said that they had gone to Manchuria and had gone to live a good life. Kyoko didn't want to go to Manchuria, but she couldn't be the master after all. It was something that didn't concern them, but it also affected them, they had more clothes to wash, and there were more messy things, like bed sheets. Kyoko also washed the sheets today, and there were many mottled stains on the sheets, as if someone had wetted the bed, and there were blood stains on them. The blood stains on the sheets made Kyoko feel sick, and at the same time she had a very bad premonition in her heart.
