Cao Shanhu didn't pay attention to Zhu Junyi's face, and continued to narrate: "Later, the hall master came to Bacheng, opened a fragrant hall, collected congregations, and taught us a lot of truths. The Han people must have their own backbone, if they are robbed, they will be snatched back, and if they are bullied, they will be beaten back, and calming things will only fuel the arrogance of the bad guys, and the bad guys will be more rampant and more unscrupulous. Those stupid words about how the priests of Tessie had to give the other half of their faces to others after being beaten were fooling us honest people, in order to make us slaves and horses for them. ’…… Well, he said a lot of things, and what I remember most clearly is these few sentences, which are so right! It was because we were too timid that we were deceived by these natives in the first place! ”

"He said that?" Zhu Junyi couldn't close his mouth in shock, this rhetoric and insight are not something that ordinary people can tell. At the very least, this person must have a good understanding of the situation of Chinese laborers, and he must have a deep understanding of the doctrine of the Christian church. Zhu Junyi suddenly had a very strange idea, could it be that this hall master would be a real traverser? He suddenly became intrigued by the master of the Blackshirt Society.

Cao Shanhu still talked to himself, and continued: "The hall master is afraid that our group of honest people will suffer, and specially arranged for Cai Jiaquan and Brother Cai to teach us martial arts, so that we can strengthen our bodies and defend against bandits, although we have only learned a little bit this month, but we are not as scared as before when we see bandits again, hehe!" ”

Zhu Junyi smiled and praised sincerely: "Well, Brother Cao's courage and skills are quite powerful. ”

Cao Shanhu laughed, said a few words modestly, and said: "A few days ago, eight or nine people from that gang of bandits came to fight the idea of the sugar cane field, but they were driven away by those brothers with hoes. Their leader was a ghost, and he heard him say that the cattle of the Pattaya sugar factory were poisoned, and he suspected that we Han people did it, so he had to rob our cattle to do their work, this is not too much of a deception! It's still the hall master who said that the old man is right, for these people, they really have to be tough, and they have to do it with real knives and guns. ”

Zhu Junyi nodded, thinking of those injured Chinese workers, and couldn't help but ask worriedly: "There are a lot of dead and injured today, right?" ”

Cao Shanhu grimaced and replied, "Yes!" Three of them died, more than forty were wounded, and Wang Dajiao's face was opened from top to bottom, which was broken! Li Ergou was covered with injuries all over his body, and no place was good, not even the place where he gave birth to his son...... A few others are half-dead, and it will be difficult for them to make a living in the future. ”

"What are the natives doing now?"

"Alas......" Cao Shanhu sighed and said, "Today, for the sake of these local affairs, several eldest brothers in the club are very unhappy. ”

"Oh? Why? ”

Cao Shanhu said with a little dissatisfaction: "What else can I do, do you want to kill or let go!" Some big brothers think that although the other party is here to make trouble, the two sides have killed and injured each other, so they should have a good talk, let the other party go, and then the two sides make peace. ”

Zhu Junyi listened and shook his head.

Cao Shanhu said again: "There are also a few big brothers who think that the other party has come to fight three or four times to make trouble, if we release people weakly, we are only afraid that the other party will be able to look forward to Shu in the future, and we will be arrogant and unpopular, so we will simply slaughter all the people on the spot." ”

Zhu Junyi shook his head when he heard this.

Cao Shanhu said curiously: "This is strange, the hall master's head is shaking like this today, you are all shaking your head and sick?" ”

Zhu Junyi was amused by Cao Shanhu, but he didn't know what to say, and only asked, "How did your hall master decide in the end?" ”

Cao Shanhu was silent for a long time before he said: "The hall master has no good way, and finally decided to temporarily detain people in the warehouse and talk about it in a few days." ”

Zhu Junyi secretly worried that this problem is more tricky, it is not a good strategy to kill or release people, if you kill people quietly, if the matter is revealed, it will be a genocide, which will directly cause a direct contradiction between the two ethnic groups in China and Turkey, and may also lead to a wider range of disasters, and then the lives will be greatly disgraced. Of course, it is not possible to release people, just let people go, and they will not be able to explain to the dead and injured internally, which will cause the internal alienation of the Chinese trade unions, and even all the efforts made by the Black Shirt Association in the past few months have been in vain. No one believed it. Moreover, that group of natives are not good at stubble, and if they don't succeed this time, it doesn't mean that they won't come to make trouble next time, and even the scale of the next time may be thousands. When you can't run and can't feed everyone, that's the last moment.

And Batavia is the world of the Dutch, the attitude of the Dutch will also be very critical, not partiality and inaction is already the best result, but this will inevitably weaken the prestige of the Dutch, and at the same time stimulate the escalation of the contradictions between the two sides, each of them adopts an unofficial way to make an appointment, if the Dutch are biased towards the Chinese, it is bound to stimulate the anger of the Turks even more, if it is biased towards the Turks, then it is inevitable to force the Chinese to hand over the murderer, if the Dutch deliberately let go or even push the boat, then it is likely to be a larger-scale ethnic conflict.

So, it's a hot potato.

However, Zhu Junyi, the current practice of the black-shirted hall master, is even more disagreeable, the contradiction does not continue to erupt does not mean that it will not continue to exist, so many people are detained there just to eat and drink Lazar is enough for the black-shirts to suffer, besides, people are most likely to have emotional impulses when they are in solitary confinement, one person is a landmine, such a large group of people...... It's okay if you don't blow it up, as long as it blows up, the sky will fall apart.

If that's me, what should I do? Zhu Junyi pondered this question.

Cao Shanhu took out something from his body, wiped it with his sleeve, looked at it lovingly, and then handed it to Zhu Junyi and said, "Little brother, this is what you left in the warehouse that day, and I will pass it on to you." ”

Zhu Junyi looked up, but it was the jet-black dagger. Zhu Junyi took it, stroked the polished smooth and delicate scabbard, recalled Gao Sheng and Nina, and a strong sourness immediately surged in his heart, Nina and Gao Sheng couldn't do anything when they were suffering, even if they had already stabbed the enemy, the knot in his heart could not be untied, and he felt the need to do something for the two friends.

"Brother Cao!"

"What?"

Zhu Junyi said with a sad face: "I want to set up a well-dressed mound for my two friends, I don't know where it is appropriate?" ”

"Clothed mounds?" Cao Shanhu didn't understand what Zhu Junyi meant for a while, and after Zhu Junyi explained, he patted his head and said: "There is a small hill behind the house, you can go anywhere, I will accompany you tomorrow." ”

Early the next morning, Cao Shanhu found that Zhu Junyi had an extra bandaged wound on his left arm, Zhu Junyi didn't say, he didn't ask, and took Zhu Junyi to the hill behind the coconut grove with a wooden shovel on his back. Zhu Junyi finally chose a breezy location, surrounded by coconut groves and overlooking the entire Gandarya Sugar Factory, he insisted on doing it himself, and refused Cao Shanhu's kindness to help, so he used the wooden shovel that was almost as high as his own to dig two graves very seriously, and then tore off two pieces of clothing from his clothes and buried them separately. Zhu Junyi thought about it all night, he didn't be able to leave anything from Gao Sheng and Nina, fortunately, Zhu Junyi has been wearing the clothes of the Zhu family's slaves, the fabrics are the same, and among the pain and suffering that the three of them have experienced together, the only thought that can be objectified is the clothes on the enemy's mansion, which is really an inexplicable irony.

Zhu Junyi backfilled the soil and took out two wooden plaques carved overnight last night from his arms, which were crookedly engraved with "The Tomb of Brother Gaosheng" and "The Tomb of Sister Nina", and below was a row of small characters "Brother Zhu Junyi stands up".

The moment he inserted the wooden sign in front of the mound of clothes, he seemed to vaguely see the smiles of Nina and Gao Sheng, and saw that the three of them were secretly eating the supper brought back from Zhu Dafang under the wall in those days, Nina was still wearing that coarse linen coat, and her thin face seemed to float a red flush, she finally thoughtfully gave the meat to Gao Sheng and Zhu Junyi, and seemed to forget that Zhu Junyi could eat it at the little master, Gao Sheng always carefully held the thin quilt that the bed grabbed for him and draped it on his body, for fear that he would catch a cold, In those days, he felt not only the friendship between friends, but also the love between relatives. That warm gaze, incomparable to even the brightest moonlight, instantly penetrated all his sorrow and loss, and planted a sincere seed in the heaven and earth at the bottom of his heart, and before he knew it, the seed had grown into a towering tree, covering all the darkness in his heart.

Looking at the two wooden plaques in front of him, Zhu Junyi silently swore in his heart that he would definitely get ahead, would definitely realize Nina's dream, and rebuild Nina's tribe, he didn't have a chance to understand what other wishes Gao Sheng had, but he would build a granary in the name of Gao Sheng, so that all the people he cared for would no longer endure the threat of hunger.

After completing all this, Zhu Junyi seriously bowed three times in front of the mound before returning the wooden shovel to Cao Shanhu. Cao Shanhu had been silently by his side and did not bother, at this time, he sighed, put one hand on Zhu Junyi's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go!" Child. ”

This is the first and only time he calls Zhu Junyi a "child".

When the two returned to the wooden house, there was already a congregation guarding the door, and when they saw the two, they stepped forward to convey that the main hall was looking for Cao Shanhu to discuss the matter of starting to repair the sugar factory, Zhu Junyi said: "Brother Cao, you wait." After speaking, he went into the house and took out a few rags and handed them to Cao Shanhu and said embarrassedly: "Brother Cao, I know that it takes a lot of time and energy to repair the sugar mill, and I want to help, so I drew some sketches last night, hoping to help everyone, but I couldn't find the paint for a while, so I had to dip it in my own blood to paint, Brother Cao, don't dislike it." ”

Cao Shanhu was moved for a while, and then he understood the origin of the extra wound on Zhu Junyi's left arm. He unfolded the rags and looked at them one by one, and couldn't help frowning, "What does this mean?" Why can't I read it? ”

Zhu Junyi answered word by word.

"Well, this combination design can maximize the juice yield......"

"The advantage of this design is that it does not affect the feeding process, so that the whole power output is smoother......"

"I arranged it in this way because of the safety of the operation, so that two people can solve the problem during the whole cooking process......

Cao Shanhu listened to the eyebrows fluttering, his eyes couldn't take his eyes off, there seemed to be a look of excitement in his eyes, and after listening, he carefully inquired about the handling of some details, and after a long aftertaste, he was embarrassed, and said happily: "Little brother, why are you so smart?" Your method is so powerful, don't you finish all the work at once! ”

Zhu Junyi just smiled, he still had an idea in his heart, but it wasn't time yet.

Suddenly, Cao Shanhu thought of a question, his face immediately changed, and he asked urgently: "Little brother, if you improve it according to your method, only a dozen people are needed in a set of links, what about the forty or fifty people saved?" ”

Zhu Junyi knew that Cao Shanhu would inevitably ask this question, and he asked rhetorically: "According to my method, only a dozen people are needed, but the speed is several times faster, and more sugar will be produced at the same time, is this a good thing?" ”

"So?" Cao Shanhu thought for a while before he said: "This is naturally a good thing, but what about the people who have lost it?" They've got to eat, too! ”

"Why only one production line?" Zhu Junyi said with a smile: "If a dozen people can do what fifty or sixty people did in the past, and there are so many such production lines, how much sugar can your fifty or sixty people produce now?" ”

"Huh? I'll have to do the math. Cao Shanhu crossed his fingers and counted for a long time, and suddenly opened his mind, laughing and said, "I understand!" Little brother, you are really smart! ”

Zhu Junyi watched Cao Shanhu happily rushing away, and silently blessed in his heart: I will leave in a few days, I can help as much as I can, the right is ...... Thank you very much!

************************************

Two days later.

The terrain of the hill is gentle, and the coconut trees along the way have been cut down and cleared. A richly decorated Chinese-style two-wheeled carriage, escorted by more than 30 knights, climbed smoothly up the hill and stopped on a scenic flat ground.

The curtain of the blue cloth curtain in front of the carriage was lifted inside, and an old man jumped out of the carriage, pointed to the two neatly dressed mounds not far away, bowed to the carriage and said, "Young master, these are these two mounds." ”

A pair of eyes in the carriage looked in the direction of the old man's finger, and saw a few lines of words written on the wooden sign in front of the two tombs standing side by side, which were too far away to be clear. The old man moved his eyes, and a knight behind the carriage dismounted and ran quickly to the grave, pulled out the two wooden plaques from the dirt with both hands, carefully cleaned up the remnants, and then ran back to the carriage and handed them to him with both hands.

The man in the car took the wooden sign, and after a long time, he choked up and said, "That child follows his mother, and he is a man of great affection and righteousness, this is ...... Very good...... Very good! Fu handed the wooden sign out of the carriage and said to the knight, "I will insert it back, and I will use it in the future." ”

The old man next to the carriage pointed to the endless sugarcane field under the hill, and smiled at the person in the car: "Young Master Sun is living there now, and he has really done a few interesting things in the past few days, and others are very good to him, the old slave has arranged two masters to protect him secretly, if the master is not at ease, we can take Young Master Sun home now." ”

There was a moment of silence in the carriage, and finally sighed: "Not yet! It seems that this kid has a bigger temper than mine, and for a while, I am afraid that he will not accept it. …… Walk! …… Let's go to the Pattaya Sugar Factory! ”
