Section 7: Sun Juan II
The leader of the seven women who survived the Mengshan brothel village was undoubtedly Sun Juan. The other six all regarded her as the eldest sister. Sun Juan is thirty-three years old this year, but only she knows her age, and she hasn't even told her best sisters. Unfairly, she knows the situation of the other sisters, and from this point of view, Sun Juan is a scheming woman.
Prostitutes care most about their appearance, but appearance and age are always a pair of inseparable good friends, if in the Begonia Pavilion in Mengyin, she is over thirty years old to do this line of work is already difficult, but in the cottage is an exception, in this place where robbers gather, women are a scarce resource, the horses don't care much about the age of women, they only need a woman's body, used to vent their desires.
Sun Juan's background is her biggest secret. Three years ago, a wealthy family sent someone to hire her and Huang Yu, who could sing songs, to go to Zhuangzi to entertain guests, two cars, two women and livestock were hijacked up the mountain, but the man who escorted the car was killed.
Then she and Topaz became the women of the Mengshan prostitute.
The sisters only know that Sun Juan is righteous, but they don't know that Sun Juan was born in the family of the eunuch, her ancestral home is Jiangsu, and she is an authentic daughter of Jiangnan. Her father was sentenced to be beheaded, and his wife and concubines and children were confiscated into slavery, when she was only five years old, the age when she had just formed her skills. She only remembered that her mother told her that her father was framed by his colleagues, and her mother couldn't tell her the specific circumstances.
Sun Juan, who grew up in a special environment, has an extremely complex personality, her mother and aunt were separated one after another, and she was sold into a prostitute to learn the skills of a high-class prostitute. She studied this very seriously, but her strong personality was not suitable for her profession. In the twenty years between when she was thirteen and broken to when she was thirty-three, only she knew the beatings, insults and torture she suffered.
On the one hand, he accepted his fate, he was trampled on by thousands of people, but on the other hand, he was unwilling to live his life in such a humble way, hoping that one day he could live like a normal woman, even if it was only for a year, a month, or even a day!
Sun Juan was glad that she responded to the request of Team 8 that day and went to the kitchen of Dudu Village to help Song Jinguo and others burn dry food. If it weren't for that, she would undoubtedly die under the knife of that scoundrel Qiu Zhicheng. Thinking of those unfortunate sisters after a while, they were slaughtered by those gangs of black-hearted villains, even though more than half a month had passed, Sun Juan was still drenched in cold sweat.
I called a few obedient sisters to the kitchen for what I wanted, and it was completely subconscious at the time. She knew the news of the call from the official army, and faintly hoped that falling into the hands of the official army would be better than the current day, which was their common feeling. Who would have thought that Sun Deming's shameless old dog would kill a defenseless woman?
If it weren't for the respect for the Dragon Captain of Team Eight, she might not have accepted Song Jinguo's invitation, then, she would have now fallen into the cold dirt, turning into a senseless corpse, decomposing until it turned into dirt. Who knows the story of her thirty-three years of life? Even if she went to help with the so-called respect for Captain Long, if it weren't for Captain Long's righteousness and bravery, she would have died under Qiu Zhicheng's knife, and the result would still be the same!
Therefore, since Long Qian saved her, she decided that she would definitely follow that man in the future and do everything she could to repay him. Not only that, but she also hopes that the other six sisters will realize this and should have the same thoughts as her. Therefore, after Long Qian returned to the mountain, everyone chose to leave or stay, Sun Juan found that Huang Yu and the other had the intention of leaving, she immediately stopped it, she made their heads, she handed them over with a look, they completely understood and would implement it unconditionally.
The days that followed completely proved Sun Juan's judgment, only under Long Qian's wings could they gain the self-esteem that they didn't have at all!
Now, because of Sun Juan's role, the women have completed the errands assigned by Long Qian with an uncompromising attitude. Let them take care of the wounded, they take care of the wounded, let them clean the clinic, they clean the clinic. Sun Juan successfully eliminated the stigma and bad habits of prostitutes that had been branded on them, and Sun Juan wanted everyone to be diligent, clean, and no longer a bitch but a female soldier.
Because of Sun Juan's influence, they became more and more serious about what Long Qian taught and worked hard to complete it. The change is that everything in the clinic is becoming more and more regular. The most satisfying thing for the sick and wounded is that the infirmary is getting cleaner and cleaner, the clothes are changed frequently, the bedding is often scented by the sun, and the house is getting cleaner and tidy.
They looked forward to what Long Qian had described to them: in the future, regular hospitals would be established, with a variety of surgical instruments and nursing tools with a clear division of labor and perfect functions, such as disinfection, such as eliminating inflammation, such as blood transfusions, so as to save countless lives that should be saved.
In their spare time, they like to talk about Long Qian quietly. Discuss everything Long Qian said. Although when Long Qian came to the infirmary, he told them mostly about medical care. But Long Qian occasionally talks about some unexpected medical things, such as the customs and customs of various places. When he chatted with the injured and sick, he talked about the hometown of the injured and sick the most. The vast majority of Mengshan's soldiers were from Shandong, and most of them were from Yizhou and Caozhou. But there are still a few people from other provinces, such as Zhili, Shanxi, and several Anhui people. Most of those Anhui people went up the mountain with Liu Yucai, the second master.
Sun Juan was surprised to find that (Long Qian did not avoid them when chatting with the injured people), Captain Long seemed to have been to many places, and chatting with people from different hometowns could tell some things about each other's hometowns, such as famous places and food, which was enough to prove what places he had been. Sun Juan was also surprised to find that Long Qian claimed to be from Shanxi (it turned out that he was not from Shandong), but he had been away from his hometown for a long time. This made Sun Juan realize that Long Qian's accent was different from most people, and his accent was obviously not Shandong, and it was ridiculous that they didn't realize this because they could understand Long Qian's words at all.
Sun Juan found that the sisters always whispered about Long Qian when they were resting. Sun Juan herself often involuntarily thinks of the tall and fierce man with a long beard. People will always remember the person who changed their fate, and Sun Juan knew that the person who changed the fate of her and the other six sisters who lived after the catastrophe was Long Qian. If it weren't for Long Qian saving them under the butcher's knife, they would have been buried in the loess mound like those dead sisters, without even a mark. These hard-working women have come to this cruel world and walked for a while, leaving no traces. It's like a breeze that no one will remember them, not even their parents, their siblings. Although they are lowly bitches, they still want to live and fear death. Although I have been ravaged every day, I always look forward to the day when I will be free and my fate will change. Or tell yourself in your heart that the sin of this life is trampled on because you have done sins in your previous life, and you can exchange the suffering of this life for the happiness of the next life. Without this expectation, many of them would lose the courage to live.
Finally, there is a person who has changed their fate, and this person really sees them as human beings. Before the official army attacked the mountain, he was the only leader in the cottage who had the opportunity to go to the prostitute to seek pleasure but never went.
There are indeed a lot of legends about him in the cottage, and all kinds of news will always come to the prostitute, and if they are careful, they are definitely the kind of people who are easy to get more news from the cottage. Some people say that he can't do that, so he doesn't come to the village to be happy, and she was also a believer in this rumor for a while, but since he brought people to the brothel and rescued them from Qiu Zhicheng's knife, she knew how vicious that rumor was to him. Because it is ridiculous to wonder if he can't be a real man, just one glance at his burly body, at his manly features and at Hesse's beard, you won't believe those nonsense.
Ever since Captain Long recruited them to join the army, the word had been coming up a lot lately, and for the first time, Sun Juan felt that the aspiration that she had once thought was nothing more than a wish was so close. When the wounded were chatting with Captain Long, what they were most concerned about was whether the officers and soldiers would still come. Long Qian said to the wounded people, the world outside is very chaotic, and a number of new troops are afraid that they can't take care of us people, they may know that we have returned to the mountain, or they may not know the road, but it doesn't matter. When we have trained our soldiers, we will leave Mengshan and go outside to break out of our own world. I'm not like the old leaders, I'm content to take this mountain. Your main task is to recover well and get back to training as soon as possible.
Sun Juan was horrified to find that Long Qian did not believe in gods and ghosts at all, people died when they died, they had no soul, and they could neither go to heaven nor hell. The so-called retribution for creating sins in this life or retribution in the next life or cultivating goodness in this life is nothing but the deceptive nonsense of officials.
The Sun Juans recently made a literacy decision. The teacher is naturally Long Qian. The reason is that they always confuse the washed clothes, they are all the same military uniforms, and it is easy to get confused. The clothes of the injured and sick are washed by them, but they do not wash the clothes of others, which is also Long Qian's rule. He took the lead in execution, and Sun Juan asked Long Qian several times to bring the dirty clothes, but Long Qian never let the women wash them once.
Long Qian taught Sun Juan a way not to mess up clothes, that is, to pin a strip of cloth with the name of the injured and sick on the washed clothes. But Sun Juan and the others are illiterate, so this method will not work. Long Qian said it doesn't matter, no one is born literate, you can learn.
Can we be literate? Sun Juan couldn't believe her ears.
Why can't you do it? I'll call you, Long Qian found a piece of paper, asked the names of the seven women, and wrote all their names on the paper: Sun Juan, Zhang Hongcao, Huang Yu__
Long Qian said to Sun Juan, my character is simplified, and there are some differences from the words commonly used in society now, and some words look different, but the pronunciation is exactly the same. For example, your grandson. But it doesn't matter, simplified Chinese has advantages, there are few strokes, and it is easy to recognize and remember. Recognize your name, remember, and write it. Then slowly recognize the other words. I'm going to have a literacy class soon, and you can also participate in it, and you can learn a thousand words a year by recognizing three words at a time, and the general problems, like writing a note, are no longer a problem at all.
What's the use of our literacy? Topaz asked timidly.
What's the use? It's very useful! If you are literate, you can read books and newspapers, and you can understand a lot of truths that you didn't understand before, and at least you can write letters to your family, right? I don't know about your original life experience, but no one jumped out of the cracks in the stone, everyone has their own parents and relatives, slowly, will find out the news of your family, write a letter to them, tell them about your situation, in the future, you can go home, how good!
Topaz cried over this. Topaz's cry brought the other women into it, and all seven of them crouched on the ground and cried. Yes, as a lowly prostitute, everyone has a history of blood and tears.
