Since Xiao Wuzi was sentenced, he has returned to a state of being ignored, but his living conditions have changed a little.
There is an extra blanket for sleeping, and an extra piece of pickle in the nest. The injuries on his body were typical skin injuries. They looked bloody, but in fact they didn't hurt any muscles or bones at all.
Xiaowuzi has been in an extremely low mood these past few days, and he can't get out of this way. Although his impression of Ji Hua was not very good, he had no doubt about his words, because Xiao Wuzi's intuition and various signs showed that Ji Hua was telling the truth.
But Xiaowuzi just couldn't accept that Sister Yun would betray him. Xiaowuzi has grown up in the team since he was a child. Whether in the gang or in the Anti-Japanese Alliance team, he treats the people around him as relatives, and these relatives are disappearing from him one by one. Unexpectedly, the person closest to him would betray him for another person. Xiaowuzi felt the heartache of being abandoned by his relatives again, just like when he was abandoned by his own mother when he was a child.
A few days later, it was still evening, when everyone else was getting off work, Ji Hua came and took Xiao Wuzi to the yard again, but this time it was sunny and Xiao Wuzi was not beaten.
Ji Hua said: "Your new mission is to go to Jilin. A dam is being built on the Songhua River in Jilin. Among the workers building the dam are our people. Your mission is to contact this person and tell them the location and time of the response. If you have the chance, help them escape." Then he asked Xiao Wuzi if he was familiar with the mountainous area in southern Jilin. Xiao Wuzi thought for a while and said, "I haven't been there, but I know some place names and general directions." Ji Hua gave Xiao Wuzi a note and said, "Remember it as soon as possible, and then destroy it." Xiao Wuzi unfolded the note and just After reading it once, he chewed it and swallowed it, and then said: I know this place, I remember the password. "
Ji Hua was a little surprised and asked Xiaowuzi if he needed anything else. Xiaowuzi said that there were some clothes and money in the house I rented that might be used by then. Ji Hua said that he would bring it to you tomorrow, but he could not bring weapons. You would have to find a way by yourself then. Xiaowuzi nodded in agreement.
When Xiao Wuzi walked back, he stopped again, turned around and asked, "What should I do about Sister Yun?" Ji Hua was silent for a while and replied with two words, "Get rid of her." Then they both turned around and walked away silently.
The team was walking eastward in the morning light. Everyone had their hands tied behind their backs and strung together by a long rope. There were about a few hundred people, all strong laborers, because they were eliminated because they were too old and too young. Xiao Wuzi is the youngest here, but he has grown again in the past six months. He has exceeded the height of ordinary people and has become a tall and slender young man, although he still has a baby face. No one treats him as a child anymore.
The policemen in black police uniforms were all riding horses and carrying guns. If anyone in the team walked slowly, they would whip them. The person who was beaten did not dare to speak and could only endure the pain and follow.
When the road conditions are bad somewhere on the road, the escorting policemen will untie some people and ask them to move rocks and dig soil to repair the road. There is a carriage in front, which is equipped with tools such as shovels and picks. When building roads, they will stop and hand out the tools. When the work is completed, they will take them back and count the quantities to prevent these people from hiding them secretly.
According to regulations, you must walk forty miles every day, because there is a special camping site at forty miles. The Japanese are very strict in everything they do and do not allow any mistakes. Originally, forty miles or twenty kilometers was not too far, but these people were prisoners, and they were afraid of resisting or escaping, so they had to be tied up and walked, and roads had to be constantly repaired, which slowed things down.
The so-called campsite is a village whose original residents were moved away by the Japanese merged group tribes.
Xiaowuzi discovered one thing. The people being escorted were all Chinese, not even the Korean Japs. This shows that there are not many people in the Japanese Kwantung Army, and they are not here. So where have the Kwantung Army gone?
These escorting policemen did not even dare to beat people to death, because they were afraid that they would die. It seemed that the Japanese devils' big projects required a large number of laborers, otherwise they would not be used as prisoners.
There was a young policeman in front of him. He was not very old, only two or three years older than Xiao Wuzi. Although he kept a straight face all the way to maintain his dignity, his every move revealed his childishness.
Before leaving, Ji Hua did not give Xiaowuzi's money directly because they were tied up the whole way and were afraid that the money would be stolen. Quietly tell Xiaowuzi that the money is with the new policeman and he will give it to him somewhere.
On the third day, he saw the rolling green mountains. Xiaowuzi breathed a long sigh of relief. For him, reaching the mountainous area was like going home. All worries and pressure disappeared without a trace when he entered the mountain.
After entering the mountain, Xiaowuzi had many opportunities to escape, but Xiaowuzi was always hesitant. Should he run away first and then sneak back quietly to complete the mission, or should he endure it for two more days? However, where he went, the Japanese were even more protective. Now, it will be difficult to escape.
In the end, Xiaowuzi decided to endure it for a few more days and see how things went.
This place is five or six miles away from the dam. The roadside from here to the dam construction site is full of thatched shacks and simple houses, densely packed with all kinds of strange things.
Taverns, brothels, casinos, opium dens, all the business of this era can be seen here.
The work shed of Xiaowuzi and his family is made of wooden boards, with a roof made of linoleum paper and a lot of broken bricks.
The wooden boards on Datong's pavilion are all wet, and the ground is full of floating soil, which will definitely turn into a mud pond when it rains.
No one lives in their place, and there is not a single thatched shed nearby, because climbing up the east mountain is a corpse dump. I heard that tens of thousands of corpses have been dumped here over the years.
They are the only ones living here because they are prisoners.
The five boys have been here for three days. Their job is to smash the large and small rubble pulled from a distance into small pieces, and then pull it to the dam construction site above, mix it with river sand and cement, and make concrete to pour the dam. At that time, the word concrete did not exist, and it was generally referred to as cement.
They had to get up before dawn every day and were given a bowl of bran porridge for each person, and a bran steamed bun at night. They were really made of corn skins, and there was almost no real grain in them. Drinking the porridge made your throat irritate. The heavy physical work of breaking stones for a day made them suffer from hunger all the time.
On the first night, as soon as Xiao Wuzi took over the hot steamed bun, a hand stretched out from beside him broke off more than half of it. This was because Xiao Wuzi reacted quickly and caught it without letting go.
The person who grabbed his head was a thin, small man with squinting eyes, and he was followed by two guys with big muscles and round waists.
Xiaowuzi looked back at the big man holding a pipe on the chair over there and the horse stick team under him. They didn't even glance here. Xiao Wuzi didn't say anything, just swallowed the half of the steamed bun in several mouthfuls.
Then he watched the three of them steal a few more people's buns and gave one of them a slap in the face. They still ignored them, so Xiao Wuzi knew it.
Today, Xiao Wuzi deliberately waited for those people, and they arrived just when Xiao Wuzi took over the wotou.
So the hand like a bird's talon stretched out again. Xiao Wuzi didn't tolerate him this time. He held the nest head in his mouth with his left hand, grabbed the hand with his right hand and pushed it up. The thin man's scream frightened him. Everyone jumped. Xiaowuzi kicked him in the chin and knocked him over.
When the two guys with big muscles and round waists rushed towards him, Xiao Wuzi jumped back a step to distance himself. When a big hand grabbed him, Xiao Wuzi gathered enough energy to rush forward and kicked the opponent. Under the crotch, the opponent immediately hunched into a ball and screamed like a slaughtered pig. At this time, another guy hugged Xiaowuzi from behind. Xiaowuzi bent his upper body hard and then swung it back hard. The back of his head hit the man's nose, and he heard a crisp "click" sound. , the man let go his hands and covered his nose and fell down.
At this time, everyone stopped eating, and all eyes were looking here, including Da Da Tou and his men.
Xiaowuzi still held the steamed bun in his left hand and took a bite. While chewing, he walked over and kicked the guy in the heart who had just climbed up and covered his nose, kicking out all the food he had just eaten. Then he kicked the crotch-covering guy in the throat, causing his pig-like screams to stop instantly, while the thin man was still unconscious.
By the time the dazed thin man got up, Xiao Wuzi had already finished eating the steamed buns. He walked over and kicked him in the face with a whip kick, knocking him around again, but he didn't faint this time. When Xiao Wuzi stood in front of him again, the guy immediately knelt on the ground and shouted: "Brother, stop fighting, stop fighting, we have surrendered, and we will never dare to do it again. Next time, you will be kicked to death." Me." He said while pulling his two brothers to kneel down together.
Xiaowuzi put his face close to the thin man and said: "If I see you robbing people for food again, I will tear you down. I keep my word. If you don't believe me, just try it and get out!" The three of them helped each other and stood up. , rolling and crawling away in embarrassment.
At this time, Da Baotou lazily walked over with a mysterious smile on his face.
"Young man, you are so damn pissy, this is it." After saying that, he picked up Thumbs up and asked: "What's your name? Where do you live from?"
Xiao Wuzi replied: "My name is Xiao Wuzi, from Huadian."
Da Daotou nodded, raised his voice and shouted: "Listen, everyone, from now on, the fifth son is your foreman, and everyone is at his mercy when doing work. Do you all hear that?"
Everyone responded in unison: "I heard it." Only Xiao Wuzi was still a little confused, how could he still be a good official in a fight?
In fact, it doesn't mean anything to him whether he is an official or not. He just wants to be famous and make people pay attention to him. Because I haven’t seen anyone contact him yet
