One-six-five, Ma Tsai
On this day, I delivered the supplies to the camp of an expeditionary force, and while they were unloading the supplies, I went to the barracks to meet their commander.
I was stunned when I saw Adjutant Tian. I must have been surprised to see him in this foreign land.
But we didn't clasp our hands together with tears in our eyes like our fellow villagers saw our fellow countrymen.
He stared at me tightly and said, "You came here to get revenge on me?" β
I pointed at his nose and said viciously, "What is the enmity between us, the aggressor is our greatest enemy, and I have brought you supplies." β
I did this just to tell him to let go of our hatred and not just think about dealing with me.
Presumably he understood, so he invited me to sit down.
He told me that he had been defeated by the Red Army and fled to Daejeon, but was surprised to learn that I had married and bought land there. On that day he led his men to the flat land to fight the troops stationed there for territory, and when he passed by our village, he lived in our village.
The next day they fought a battle with those who had come to drive them away, and they won. During the negotiations, the people on the flat side promised to let them be stationed in Daejeon, and the two sides would not interfere with the water from the well. Otherwise, stumble.
But it didn't take long for the party-state to send an expeditionary force here to protect the only port to transport supplies to China.
He said, "I didn't expect you to give up your wealth and glory and come here." β
I said, "I heard that you live in our village and are not leaving, and you want to use it as a base, and thinking about the grievances between us, I have to leave." β
He said: "It's all other people's nonsense, and even if I wanted to, the people on the flat side wouldn't want to." β
I said, "Sister, how is she?" β
He turned his face to the side and did not answer.
Meishu is his woman, he doesn't answer, and I can't ask any more. Who has a large number of men who like their women to chase after and ask about their women's whereabouts? I'm afraid that there will be no one in this world now, and there will be no one in the future.
However, my woman, Yu'er, I don't want to ask about her. Just because I was afraid that I would not be able to control myself and would kill him. At this time of the great enemy, we cannot fight among ourselves under any circumstances.
He didn't tell me any news about Yu'er, not a word.
On the way back, I was in a very bad mood. I don't know what I've done to Yu'er, but I know I've killed another girl.
After seeing Adjutant Tian this time, I never saw him again. I don't know if he sacrificed his life for his country, or returned to China, or went to India with the British army. They did not hold the only port at which supplies were delivered to China.
They were surrounded by the invaders, very passive and powerless. In the end, the lives of many compatriots were lost, and the invaders took the only port to transport supplies to China.
Yangon became the bag of the invaders.
And I followed the transport team back to Yangon and lived in the house that Boss Yuan gave me.
Because the escort materials are very good, Boss Yuan appreciates me very much.
Previously, Boss Yuan was engaged in silk and embroidery. Ran through the transport while fighting the invaders, so get involved in the transport business now.
I became the captain of his transport brigade and continued to transport supplies with the caravan. We transport the supplies from the docks to the inland cities, and then we transport the inland things to the docks.
It's just that these materials are no longer the ones who fought against the invaders, but those who did business.
Previously, these bosses were transported by themselves, but in the war, they were frequently robbed by bad guys. When Boss Yuan set up a transportation team, they handed over the transportation business to us.
The reason why Boss Yuan dared to take over this transportation business also relied on having me as a horse boy under his hands. If not, how could the bad people let him go?
- Before transporting supplies for the expeditionary force, my apprentice and I had already spread fame.
Not only did those bad guys dare not come, but even those Luo Xinya's butchers were also discouraged.
The bad guys are afraid of my fame, but the butchers are because of our little flag. I put up a white flag with a red sun in front of our ranks.
With this little flag, not only did the butchers not dare to touch us, but even the invaders would open a net against us when they saw itβnot only did they give us the flag, but occasionally they would ask us to help them transport supplies to places where cars couldn't go.
I'm not just going to grow old with a flag. Before entering the places frequented by the guerrillas, I would replace the sun flag with our own flag.
The guerrillas will not attack us when they see our banner, for they all know that it has not only helped the expeditionary force transport supplies, but will now help them transport them.
We never asked what we were transporting, and I never let my horses know who we were transporting.
The invaders always disguised themselves as merchants in order to protect their supplies from being robbed by the guerrillas, so when we loaded the goods. The people they pick up the goods over there will always dress up as merchants.
This prevents us from opening their cargo on the way, and also prevents our people from leaking information about their identities and allowing the guerrillas to attack.
Not to mention the people who supplied the guerrillas, not to mention the people sent by the guerrillas to receive them.
People on both sides were all wary of us, and I knew them all, except that I was pretending to be blind.
This doesn't mean that I'm just a traitor lackey, at most I can only be regarded as a wall grass. It's just that in order to deliver the supplies to the guerrillas safely, I want to do this, and I must do this.
Every time I went to see Boss Yuan after the transportation was completed, he would always look at me like a loving father, looking like he had something to say to me, but he felt that it was not the right time.
At this time, I will always report to him and divert his eyes and thoughts.
Our business is booming, so the caravan has to expand its staff. Among the newcomers who came were spies of the aggressors, and there were also undercover agents of the guerrillas.
It was easy to discern them, and the spies of the invaders were fine by their actions, although they rarely spoke and tried to pretend to be a native accent, but I could tell it at a glance from their every move.
It was easier for the guerrillas to go undercover, just look at the look in their eyes when they saw the aggressor.
I remembered their faces and names.
Presumably they all knew that we were cows in the river - eating on both sides.
The two sides have not attacked us, but there is no conclusive evidence, and second, we need to continue to transport them. What's more, maybe they don't really want to know who we're transporting supplies for.
Maybe they just want to know where the other person lives and what supplies they are transporting.
But I didn't allow anyone to take apart what we were transporting, and I didn't allow anyone to unload it a little further away from where they lived. The rest is up to them to send people to investigate.
I told Boss Yuan about the fact that there were spies planted by both sides in our transport team.
For some reason, he pulled me out of the convoy.
