Chapter 133: The Past
Lao Wu raised his hand with a cigarette and knocked on the table and said, "Hey, you be quiet, if people hear you say this kind of thing, then won't you be deducted for promoting cows, ghosts, gods and snakes?" Don't talk nonsense! ”
But Pinpin looked at Lao Wu and said, "Why? Isn't it just storytelling? What do they care? After speaking, he turned his face to look at Hu Dajiao, and said with some surprise: "Second uncle, why is there something strange in the textile factory, is there really a ghost?" ”
"I don't know if there are ghosts, but strange things happen not only in textile factories, but also in meat factories." When Hu Da was talking nonsense, he used gestures to make a gesture, and he swayed sideways with a body of fat and flesh, Lao Wu sighed and continued to smoke with his head suffocated and ignored them.
The strange thing that happened in the meat factory was similar to that of the textile factory, and it was also because of the accidental death of a worker, which led to many scary things. But it was not until later, many years later, that the revelation of many secret underground operation archives revealed the truth about the strange things that had happened in puppet Manchuria. There are no ghosts at all, what happened at that time was related to the machine, what textile machine, machine tool for pressing cans, and meat grinder and the like, put aside the strange things first, one of the common points is that the machine is broken, unable to produce normally, resulting in a shortage of materials, affecting the normal dispatch of the army.
Ghosts can't do this kind of thing, it's actually the secret sabotage operation of the underground party, but because the effect did not meet expectations, so it gave up halfway, strange things only appeared sporadically, it may be that it is precisely because of this that those things are passed on to the gods, let Hu Dazhu speak to the night, and let Pinpin listen to him until the night.
After holding the tea jar and drinking a few large sips of herbal tea, Hu Dabao raised his hand and wiped it and continued: "Oh Mom! You don't know, the meat grinder turned on itself in the middle of the night, booming and booming, waking up many people, when the big guy came to the side of the machine and looked into the pile of meat that was being minced. The mother was dumbfounded, the ground meat there was actually the owner of the factory, and most of his body was minced meat, do you think it's scary? ”
Pinpinting's eyes lit up, and he urged Hu Dabao to continue, Hu Dazhu grinned: "You kid." It's gone, so where can I talk about it? ”
"Second uncle, didn't you say the mine at the beginning? What about textile mills and slaughterhouses? And what about the mine? What's wrong? What are you talking about? Pinpin chattered a little unwillingly.
Before Hu Dabo answered, he saw Jiang Nan start to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, hung his head and whispered: "Okay girl, go to bed, it's not early!" Pin Pin raised his eyes to look at Jiang Nan, blinked his eyes and walked away, and before going out, he turned around and stuck out his tongue at Hu Dawei. Hu Da smiled with his teeth.
Lao Wu has obviously aged in the past two years, his temples have become gray, and his originally strong body has become thin and hunchbacked, all in all, it is not as good as before. The relationship between Lao Wu and smoke is almost tied, if he doesn't hold a cigarette, it feels like four eyes are missing, and after the smoke is clear, he can only feel when he speaks.
Spit out a cigarette, Lao Wu frowned and said, "What this kid looks like when he listens to the story." It's really like Qi'er. ”
Jiang Nan heard the meaning of Lao Wu's words, but she didn't speak. After putting away the dishes and chopsticks at once, he left, making room for the two of them to talk.
"Hey, I said, you have to talk about Qi'er several times a day, he just has to let you talk about something if he's fine, don't talk nonsense, think about something serious!" Hu Da patted the food residue that fell on his pants and said to Lao Wu.
Lao Wu listened to Hu Dabao's words. He raised his head and said with a wry smile, "Serious? Do you still know the that word? I've known you for so many years, and it's the first time I've heard you say that, oh my God, it's not easy! ”
Hu Dabao took the cigarette that Lao Wu put on the table. I took out one, and I didn't order it, so I held it dry, and said a little unhappily: "Hey, I said, who are you laughing at?" Anyway, Master Hu, I am also a person who has seen the world, why can't I say this word? What do you mean? ”
Lao Wu ignored him, got up and patted his pants and walked out, Hu Da pulled his neck and shouted at it: "Hey! Where are you going? I haven't even finished my sentence! ”
"! Stay on your own. After Lao Wu replied, he left with a cigarette in his mouth.
Hu Da Arm took out a pack of matches from his pocket, lit the cigarette that had been holding his mouth, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled out, in the dim light, the original happy figure of Hu Da Arm also became a little blurred, and half of his face was illuminated by the light with a sense of loneliness, he was going to talk about the mine just now, but he suddenly thought of the past that he had almost forgotten, and he turned the conversation away, he didn't want to talk about his own things, those things that made people think of the past that were faintly sad.
At that time, a group of laborers had just arrived at the old mine in Jilin, and they were all dirty, as if they had rolled on the ground. They were forced into a large wooden house by the Japanese bayonets, which was full of wooden beds, the beds were covered with straw mats, and the wooden forks were exposed underneath, and there were no quilts, and many people were driven into the house, and then the door was locked, and they could not get out.
Before coming, many people understood what was going on, it must have been the Japanese who arrested them to work, among these people there was a father and son who were more conspicuous, they were still wearing leather coats and fur hats and rabbit skin shoes, and they looked like the hunters in the mountains, and the father and son were called a big waist and round waist, and the father's neck was as thick as the head, and the two faces were red.
They really haven't seen this, that Hu Dazhu's grandfather is a Mongolian, and he can be regarded as a follower, he is not old, his waist is very thick, he walks horizontally, and his arms are thrown away. Although they were more peculiar, they were captured by the Japanese, and they probably couldn't go back alive, and the people in the room were standing and squatting, with a pair of frightened eyes on their dirty faces, and they were still looking at the devils outside through the crack in the door, and they were all frightened.
Hu Dabang's nickname is Xiaopang, only his father calls him that, and Hu Dabian's mother died when she gave birth to him, and it is not easy for a father to make a living by hunting with a child. Later, when the war broke out, they couldn't hide in the mountains and forests, and they were caught by the devil and sent to work in the old mines in Jilin, and this experience had the greatest impact on Hu Dabao, because his father died in the mine.
In the old days, the mines were dug little by little by manpower, and the consumption was the lives of the people who were arrested at that time, and there were too many people who froze to death and starved to death in winter, so they were directly thrown into the open space of the coal pile next to the mine, mixed with the cinders, and sometimes the coal transportation also pulled away some frozen corpses.
The laborers began their work early in the morning and rested until the sun went down and it was completely dark, and they basically had to work fifteen or sixteen hours a day, but they ate porridge with white water every day. This white water porridge, that is, to make a firewood in the open field to set up a pot, fill the pot with water, and then the cook reaches into the rice bag and grabs a handful of bud rice beard and throws it into the pot, this bud rice beard is the crushed corn kernels, and after the porridge boils, as soon as the lid of the pot is opened, then there is some grain at the bottom of the pot, and the rest is all white water. Eating is to drink water, if you are lucky enough to eat some dry food, if you know how to cook, when you serve rice, rub the spoon against the bottom of the pot to get some granulated soup, and the rest of the people are just like this bowl with a little food smell of the water belly, want to lick the bowl but there is nothing to lick on the bowl, one by one hungry skin and bones, eye sockets are sunken.
If you can eat enough, the person can drink water and live, the labor intensity in the mine is high, and the laborers can't eat enough, it is easy to collapse and go into shock. There are special medical personnel in the mine, but they will not save the laborers, but check whether the fallen people can still get up and work, and if they can't, they will just throw them out and let the soldiers stab them to death with bayonets, or simply let them freeze to death.
That kind of cruelty is simply inhuman for Hu Dabao, his eyes are red with hatred, and he almost rushed up with an iron pickaxe several times, but he was dragged by his father. Hu Dabian has not been in contact with many people since he was a child, and he has seen more things than people, and he is not afraid of blind wolves and bears in the forest, not to mention these devils in yellow uniforms, if it weren't for his father dragging him, he would have been able to carry an iron pickaxe and kill a few at that time.
It is very difficult to escape after being caught in the mine, firstly, because the nearby guards are very tight, and if you do any strange things, you will be shot, which is not a joke. The second is that the devil is too damaged, and he wants to go out to a thatched house at night, and he has to take off his shoes or his shirt before leaving the house.
At that time, the laborers in the mine were controlled by the Kwantung Army, and the people in charge were all officers, Hu Dazhu still remembered that there was a Japanese officer named Matsumoto Suke at that time, that was a very delicate young Japanese, but he was particularly cruel, and regarded human life as a mustard, and there were many laborers who died in his hands, and many of them could not be counted, so Hu Dazhu never forgot him, but that Matsumoto Suke finally died in the hands of Hu Dajiao.
Before, Hu Dabao thought of a mine with a lot of dead people because of the crematorium, so he recalled an object that he had dug up in the mine, and it was precisely because of this object that there was a labor riot in the mine where Hu Dabao was located, but as a result, only Hu Dabao was the only one who really escaped alive, and even his father couldn't come out.
