Japan Surrender
After the third Battle of Changsha, the battlefield between China and Japan in Hunan was silent for a long time. The Xinqiang River was still the boundary river. The Japanese army did not come to Henan, and the national army did not go to Hebei. The two sides of the boundary river were in peace.
In October of 1931, the Japanese army went crazy again. They committed murders in Hongshan, Luoao, Kunshan, and Shanqi Harbor, killing more than 1,800 civilians, raping more than 600 women, and burning more than 2,000 houses. Many people couldn't understand why the Japanese army was so crazy. These places were on the north bank of the Xinqiang River. They were already occupied by the Japanese army and had been enslaved for many years. Why would they go crazy here?
After the Japanese army went crazy, the two sides of the Xinqiang River fell silent again.
Days of peace were always relative. When it fermented to a certain stage, war would brew and erupt. As long as there were war maniacs in this world, this would be the inevitable outcome.
In May of the 1933rd year of the Republic of China, the Japanese army's guns and cannons tore through the peaceful sky on both sides of the boundary river. The artillery shells roared and flew to the south bank of the Xinqiang River and flew to the land of the lower lotus pond. The Japanese army began to advance south again. This time, the Japanese army was determined to win. 360,000 regular troops stepped on the land of northern Hunan with neat steps. They crossed the Xinqiang River, the Miluo River, the Laodao River, and the Liuyang River. Their spears were aimed at the city walls of Changsha.
The national army resisted while retreating. Where was the end of the retreat? Changsha was the capital city of Hunan. The retreat of the national army should have reached its end. They could only stop and fight for a while in Changsha. The resistance in Changsha started on May 27th and ended on June 19th. The Chinese army failed, and the remaining troops withdrew from Changsha. The Japanese army occupied Changsha, and their first strategic goal was achieved.
The Japanese army continued to push south, but when they reached Hengyang, they encountered tenacious resistance. With the strength of a single army, the Hengyang garrison withstood the attack of several Japanese divisions without any foreign aid, blocking the Japanese army for 48 days, making the Japanese army pay a heavy price.
When the Japanese army passed through the lower lotus pond to the south, they almost did not encounter any resistance. They passed like a gust of wind, and many villagers in the lower lotus pond did not even realize it. It was different when the Japanese army passed through the upper lotus pond. The national army still had troops to resist there, and Sun Yunqing's plainclothes team was also active here.
One day, more than 200 people from a squadron of the Japanese army entered the Zou family's big house in Shang Hetang. Someone from the Zou family's big house slipped out and told Sun Yunqing the news. Sun Yunqing thought, I only have 30 plainclothes players in my hands. If I use them to fight more than 200 Japanese regular troops, wouldn't that be like hitting a stone with an egg?
At this time, there was another report saying that a search company of the 90th division of the national army had retreated from the antlers and had arrived at Yulan, which was in the mouth of the Ming Dynasty. Sun Yunqing was overjoyed and brought two followers to ride to Yulan. When he saw the national army commander, he told the situation and the national army commander decided to fight the Japanese army. The National Army's search company had four platoons of troops, about 150 people. Including the plainclothes team, they had about 180 people. Compared to the Japanese, they were still at a disadvantage.
The commander of the national army saw this disadvantage, and Sun Yun Qing also saw this disadvantage, but their thoughts of fighting the Japanese army did not retreat. The commander of the national army said," We have fewer people, but we are prepared and have a purpose. We can catch him off guard. From this point of view, we have an advantage.”
"That's right, that's right. We still have the support of the villagers. They're all alone."”
The commander of the national army said," It is impossible for us to completely destroy the Japanese army. We can kill as many of them as we can. If we can avoid death, we will not die. We will not fight recklessly."”
The commander of the national army and Sun Yun Qing discussed for a while and came up with a plan. The four platoons of the national army would be divided into two groups, each with two platoons. The plainclothes team would also be divided into two groups to join in. The plainclothes team led the way, and they split into two groups to enter the Zou family's house.
The Japanese army did not expect that there would still be a national army left here, so they relaxed their vigilance a little. They were eating, guns and cannons were piled up, and while eating, they were talking about the story of their southward march. At this moment, the national army rushed in, and after a fierce fight, many Japanese soldiers fell into a pool of blood.
The Japanese soldiers were well-trained. They didn't panic. They threw down their rice bowls and went to fight back with their guns, blocking the national army outside the village. At this time, the Japanese soldiers 'steel cannons also sounded. They roared and flew to the path of the national army outside the village.
After killing 30 to 40 Japanese soldiers, the search company and the plainclothes team withdrew. This time, Mei Yu was the bravest. During the attack, he was at the forefront. When they retreated, he was the last to cover them. He was also the first to take down the Japanese soldiers.
The battle north of the Liuyang River quickly ended. The battlefield moved south. The battle for Changsha lasted for more than 20 days, and the defense of Hengyang lasted for more than 80 days. Although the Japanese army had bitten off the hard bones of Hunan, it also hurt their teeth.
The Japanese army had gone south, and the villagers of Shangxia Hetang had resumed their peaceful lives. The Japanese had not established their ruling institutions here, and the villagers were still unfamiliar with the system of the occupied areas. Although the Japanese army had carried out one or two large-scale killing activities in Shangxia Hetang, the area affected was not too large.
Although the villagers were still planting fields, cutting firewood, doing business, and spinning yarn, their hearts could not be at ease. No one knew when the Japanese army would return, and no one knew if their hometown would become an occupied area. People were worried in their panic and had nightmares. They counted the days that passed and prayed for the blessings of Bodhisattva.
In these dark days, the sky would occasionally turn dark. The Alliance Army's planes had flown over Yuezhou City many times and bombed the Japanese soldiers in the city. The Japanese soldiers stationed in Yuezhou City were also a little anxious.
The anxious days finally passed, and so did the nightmare days. The Japanese army announced their surrender in August 1934. This news spread from the headquarters of the allied forces, through the auxiliary capital of Chongqing, to the whole of China, and also to the upper and lower lotus ponds, and into the ears of every member of the plainclothes team.
Sun Yun Qing held a banquet on Shaxi Street to celebrate this victory. The plainclothes team members had tears in their eyes. They held wine in their hands and spoke congratulatory words to each other. Mei Yu said,"We finally completed our mission. We can finally take a breather.”
Nan Heng said," Yes, we've really worked too hard. We've been too reckless. We're still single until now." Brother Meiyu, how old are you this year? You should be 30 years old. If the Japanese surrender, we can get married.”
Mei Yu said," Yes, I'm already thirty years old this year. The Japanese have left, so I can get married next year. The year after that, I can have a boy. I'll have one child a year from now on."”
Nan Heng said," You're thirty this year, I'm twenty-five this year, Chun Yan is twenty-three, and Mei Mao is twenty-seven. We can all get married. It's really not worth it for such an adult to not have tasted a woman."”
Chun Yan said," Brother Nan Heng, I'm afraid you've gone crazy thinking about women. There are also wild chickens on Shaxi Street. Find one and try it. I guarantee that you'll be satisfied."”
Chao Fan said," A house is only like a house if there is a woman in it. Look at me. I already have two sons and a daughter. I'm crazy outside, but I still rely on a woman."”
Sun Yun Qing said," You are all people who have forgotten their country and family. Because of you, the Upper and Lower Lotus Pond suffered less from the scourge of the Japanese. I thank you on behalf of the villagers for your efforts over the past few years."”
Mei Yu said," Squadron Leader Sun, the Japanese have surrendered. Is our plainclothes team going to disband? Without the enemy, there is no need for us to exist. Don't you think so?”
Sun Yun Qing said," I can't express my opinion on this matter. It depends on the county government's opinion. If it's necessary to continue existing, it won't be disbanded. If it's not necessary to continue existing, it will definitely be disbanded.”
The Plum Cat said," It's a pity to disband. I'm used to such a carefree and free life."”
Chao Fan said," Yes, this kind of life is so interesting. Everyone is talking and laughing together every day. Before you know it, the day is over. When you get home, you have to do farm work."”
Nan Heng said," We've become pigs, yet we're still afraid of being killed. We can't possibly carry guns for the rest of our lives."”
Sun Yun Qing said,"Our county has decided to hold a celebration at the east gate of the city during the National Day to celebrate the victory of the War of Resistance against Japan. There are ten places for our squadron to attend." Each team will have three spots, and with me, there will be ten people.”
Chun Yan said," This is really funny. What's the point of dividing the spots? Who knows how many spots each person has? In my opinion, as long as you're willing to go and watch the show, you can go. When you get there, all of you can rush into the venue."”
Nan Heng said," Yes, yes, yes. This is a good idea. Those who are willing to go can go together." Besides, he didn't know who to give the three spots to. I haven't been to Yuezhou for years. You guys should be around the same.”
Chao Fan said," You're talking nonsense. Ever since the Japanese occupied Yuezhou, none of us have been to Yuezhou. None of us have." In fact, some of our team members have never been to Yuezhou.”
Mei Yu said," That's a good idea. Captain Sun, you don't have to limit it. When the time comes, as long as you can climb onto the train, go. As long as you're willing to go, go."”
On the 9th of October, Mei Yu brought his entire team to Yuezhou City. They climbed the train and the train attendant asked them for tickets. Chun Yan flashed the gun in her hand and said,""Do you want tickets? How many do you want?”The train attendant was so frightened that he retracted his hand. He suspected that he had encountered bandits, but he did not dare to make a sound.
October 10th was Yuezhou City's celebration. It was really crowded! There was no one doing business on Zhuyin Street, Guanyin Pavilion, Hanlin Street, Meixi Bridge, and Dongting Road. The people from the city had all flocked to the East Gate's sports field, and the people from the countryside had also flocked here. The training field was packed with people, and it was so crowded that not even water could leak out. Two rows of surrendered Japanese soldiers stood below the stage, and the national soldiers looked at them majestically. The county head was giving a report on the stage. No one could hear what he said. They could only see that he was shouting at the top of his lungs, and the veins on his neck were bulging.
After the Japanese army surrendered, the Chinese government's work of returning prisoners of war became a difficult task. Prisoners of war could not be immediately returned, and there was not enough room to hold them. Moreover, even food was a problem. Yuezhou used to be an important rear stronghold of the Japanese army. It was where they stationed their troops. There were many prisoners of war. It was even more difficult for the county government to solve this problem. Later on, they came up with a solution, which was to distribute the prisoners of war to the people to watch over them. They would let the prisoners of war help the farmers do something, and the farmers would support them.
Maple Ridge also sent 20 Japanese prisoners of war. The Japanese army had fought a tug-of-war for six years in the Upper and Lower Lotus Pond. Most of the Maple Ridge people had never really seen the Japanese soldiers. Now that the Japanese army had surrendered, they had really seen the Japanese soldiers.
A Japanese soldier was assigned to Wan Ren's family. His name was Ichiro Hengshan, and he could speak a little Chinese. When Ichiro Hengshan saw Wan Ren, he first bowed and said,""Hello, old uncle. Are you healthy?”
Wan Ren sized him up and circled around him twice before saying,""It's pretty good. You're not vicious or overbearing. You're quite polite!”
Wu Qionggui said," In my opinion, this child wasn't bad at first. He didn't think of coming to kill the people of China. It was someone else who taught him to be bad. This other person is his country."”
Wan Ren said,"Old Lady Wu can see things three feet deep. Your understanding is not bad."”
Wu Qionggui said,"We're all in our fifties. Of course, we're experienced when it comes to problems.”
"What Three Feet Deep Water? What Taoist priest?"”
"Ichiro, my child, what we're saying has nothing to do with you. Just listen carefully."”
" Uncle," Ichiro said," I don't know how long I'm going to stay at your house. I can't eat your plain rice. I have to go to the fields to do something. I have to work in exchange for my food."”
"Of course, it's your fortune to live in our house," said Wan Ren. Look, our house is spacious and there aren't many people in the house. Our daughter is called Miss Bao. She will be married next year. Our son is called Lan Xin. He is also 18 years old this year.”
Wanren called his daughter and son over to meet with Ichiro. Ichiro would bow to each person and greet them. Wu Qionggui said," Yilang's child is so well-mannered. No matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like he's here to kill people from China. Instead, he looks like he's here as a guest."”
Lan Xin said," Oh my god, they're just civilians after they put down their weapons. They might as well be good people." Once they picked up their weapons, they would become enemies. They would become tools for killing. Such a twisted personality was not born. It was tempered by the country of Japan.”
At night, Lan Xin was reading the Chronicles of the First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty with a book in her hand. When Ichiro Hengshan asked what he was reading, Lan Xin said,""I'm reading the Chronicles of the First Emperor of Qin and reading Xu Fu's story.”
"Does your dynasty have Xu Fu Temple? We have many Xu Fu Temple in Japan."”
Lan Xin said," The Xu Fu of your Japan is the Xu Fu of our China. The Xu Fu of China lives in the Laoshan area of Shandong. During the Spring and Autumn Period, there were rumors that there were three immortal mountains overseas: Penglai, Fangzhang, Yingzhou. King Wei of Qi once sent Xu, a native of Langya, to lead a ship out of the East China Sea to search for the Immortal Mountain. They also brought back rare treasures and legends of immortals. After that, Xu Pu, the son of Xu, became an official in Qi.”
Ichiro said," Isn't that a very long time ago? I thought it was a recent event.”
"This is a story from more than two thousand years ago. In 221 B.C., after the State of Qin destroyed the State of Zhao, it invaded the State of Qi from the west. The King of Qi, Jian, was captured. Most of the officials and people of the State of Qi fled to Jimo City in the east to take refuge. In the past, when the five countries attacked the State of Qi, only Jimo and Jucheng held out. Tian Dan also defeated the Yan army in Jimo. However, as more and more people gathered, the Qin soldiers chased them all the way. They captured the officials of Qi and escorted them to Beihuang to build the Great Wall for the King of Qin. Jimo City was also lost. Most of the royal nobles, civil and military officials, and family members who were with Xu Pu were prepared to run towards Xu Pu's hometown Langya. Xu Pu could only lead everyone to the southeast and hide in Mount Lao. Only then did they escape the war and temporarily settle down there.”
"Does Qin's invasion of Qi have the same meaning as Japan's invasion of China? The people of Qin made the people of Qi miserable, and we, Japan, also made the people of your country miserable. I'm ashamed, I'm really sorry!”Ichiro bowed as he spoke.
Lan Xin said," What you said should be right. Qin State invaded Qi State and he succeeded. Qin State became Great Heaven Dynasty. Your invasion of China failed, and the Great Japanese Empire was not established.”
"Actually, we can just live on the top of the four islands in Japan. Why do we need you, China?!"”
Lan Xin continued," The King of Qin destroyed the six kingdoms and called himself the First Emperor of Qin. He began to tour the world and arrived at the State of Qi in 219 B.C. When they arrived at Jimo, Xu Pu heard that Qin Shihuang was going to climb Mount Lao. He was so scared that he moved the men, women, and children who had escaped from Mount Lao and its vicinity to the largest island below Mount Lao. Unexpectedly, Qin Shihuang stayed in Laoshan for three months and did not leave. This made Xu Pu anxious. He was on tenterhooks all day. He personally went to inquire about the news and learned that Qin Shihuang met An Qisheng, who was known as the Thousand Year Old Man, on Laoshan. He gave him all the gold and silver and talked to Qin Shihuang for three days and nights. He left a letter saying that he would beg him in Penglai Mountain a thousand years later.”
"Is this Xu Fu?" Ichiro asked.”After saying that, Ichiro Hengshan wrote the word 'Di' on the table and asked Lan Xin.
Lan Xin said,"They are the same person. This Xu Pu is that Xu Fu." Besides, Xu Pu had closed his door for three days and had an idea. Fu and Pu had the same pronunciation. He changed his name to Xu Fu, dressed up as an alchemist, and went to see Qin Shihuang. He said that there were three immortal mountains in the East Sea, called Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou. The King of Qi once sent my father to the East Sea to seek immortal medicine, but he did not get immortal medicine because the Sea God asked for many boys and girls and hundreds of workers to be sent. Qin Shihuang was very happy to hear that. Xu Fu had just hit the nail on the head. He immediately ordered Xu Fu to be responsible for the construction of large ships and to select young boys and girls and all kinds of skilled craftsmen from all over the country to go out to sea as soon as possible to seek medicine. Then, Qin Shihuang went to Langya Terrace recommended by Xu Fu and happily returned to Xianyang.”
"If that Qin Shihuang leaves, Xu Fu will be free, right? Why do you still work for him?"”
"You only know one thing about this, but you don't know the other." As for Xu Pu, he had publicly used his identity as Xu Fu to build ships, collect food supplies, and send his trusted aides to various places, especially to the north to search for the royal ministers and descendants of the Qi royal family in the name of recruiting boys and girls. Now, there was a Qiantong Town in Yanshan County, Cangzhou, Hebei Province. It was named after Xu Fu gathered the children he found there. The island to the south of Mount Lao became a special island for Xu Fu to search for immortals and medicine for Emperor Qin Shi Huang. People called this island Xu Fu Island. Xu Fu gathered the men, women, old and young, as well as living materials, under Mount Lao. People no longer had to live in fear. Those who were not used to island life lived ashore, forming a large village. Later, there were more and more people. Some of the young people waved knives and clubs all day long, vowing to revive Qi and return to Linzi. Xu Pu gathered them on a small island south of Xufu Island. People called the big island Dafu Island and the small island Xiaofu Island. Because there was no farming at the foot of Mount Lao, Xu Pu began to send ships out to the sea to fish. He made a living by fishing and announced to the government that he would go out to the sea to search for the immortal mountain. Days passed like this.”
"This Xu Fu is also addicted to being an official. He has a lot of power when it comes to collecting people and food.”
Lan Xin said,"This Qin Shihuang is still thinking about Xu Fu going out to sea to search for immortals and medicine. In 210 B.C., Qin Shihuang toured the world and specially came to Langya to summon Xu Fu. Penglai medicine can be obtained, but often because of the pain of the big shark fish, so can not go to Penglai, I hope to ask good archer to go with him, see him with a crossbow shot. After returning, he said: I saw a great god in the sea. The god said: Your gift to the king of Qin is too thin. You can see it but you can't take it. Qin Shihuang immediately ordered the transfer of good archers, prepared grain sacrifice heavy ceremony, with Xu Fu boat out to sea. Xu Po knew that he could no longer continue living on the island, so he gathered a fleet, brought the villagers and everyone on Great Fortune Island, and asked for a lot of supplies from the government. He chose an auspicious day and sailed to the east. When the people on the shore left the village, there would be people living in the empty houses. People knew that the people here had gone to search for Yingzhou, Penglai, and Fangzhang, so they called this village Dengying Village and the bay beside the village Dengying Bay. They had been calling it that for more than 2,000 years, which was also a nostalgia for the people who had gone far away.”
"Xu Fu and the others didn't come back?”
"Yes, they never came back." According to the Records of the Historian, Xu Fu led the people to Hiramoto Hirosawa. Some people verified that this Hiramoto Hirosawa was the present day Japan. There, the Qi people planted rice, raised silkworms, weaved silk, made pottery, cast iron, and practiced medicine. They began a life without wandering and war. This is the earliest history of the Japanese.”
"You mean that we Japanese are originally of the Chinese race, and the Chinese are our ancestors. We are only the sons of the Chinese." If we beat up the people of the Celestial Dynasty, it would be like a son beating up his father. We would be ungrateful and disregarding our ancestors.”
Lan Xin smiled and said," I didn't say that. That's probably what I meant. You can interpret it however you want. In short, our two countries are separated by only a strip of water. There's no need for anyone to fight each other.”
Ichiro Hengshan silently chanted," A thin strip of water, a thin strip of water ", and then looked at Lan Xin.
Lan Xin said," Other than the Records of the Historian, there are also records of Xu Fu's deeds in Han Shu, Han Shu of the Later Han Dynasty, Records of the Three Kingdoms, Zi Zhi Tong Jian, and Kuo Di Zhi. Pu Songling, who wrote Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, also wrote famous works such as Taoist Priest of Laoshan Mountain and Fragrant Jade, which talked about this topic.”
"Lanxin, you've read a lot of books. You can be a doctor of literature now," Ichiro said. I only know that there are many Xu Fu temples in Japan. Most of the Japanese think that Xu Fu is our founding father. It's really wrong for us to attack your country now!”
Lan Xin said," It's a pity that you can't decide whether Japan will attack China or not. That's the politicians 'business." Besides, even brothers would have their fair share of fights, let alone two countries. You don't have to blame yourself, and don't always feel guilty.”
Ichiro said," Why shouldn't I blame myself? Why shouldn't I repent? I am a sinful person. Every Japanese is a sinful person.”
Lan Xin said," Alright, alright. Let's not talk about it anymore. Let's go to sleep."”
The next day, Lan Xin brought Hengshan Ichiro to the dry land of Golden Mouth Ridge to dig for fennel. Each of them carried a basket of fennel. Lan Xin was cutting the fennel vines in the ground. After cutting a handful of them, she told Ichiro Hengshan how to tie up the head of the fennel vines and how to leave them hanging on the ground.
"Is this fennel vine delicious?"”
Lan Xin said,"Of course it's delicious. We feed it to the pigs here." However, people could still eat it when they were desperate.”
"Really?" Ichiro said."I'll try."”After saying that, he cut off a piece and put it in his mouth to chew. After chewing for a long time, he finally spat it out. At the end, he even spat out a mouthful of saliva.
Lan Xin asked,"What did you eat in China?"”
" We eat chicken, duck, and pork," Ichiro said." They're all caught in the homes of ordinary people. We even eat rice. We just haven't eaten fennel before."”
Lan Xin said,"Do you have this fennel in Japan? Have you seen this fennel before?"”
" I don't know if we have it in Japan," Ichiro said." My hometown doesn't have it. I've never seen it before, and I didn't know it was delicious.”
Lan Xin told him how to hoe and pick up the fennel when he was picking up the fennel. When he was putting the fennel into the basket, he had to check for the missing fennel and not wipe off the tail whiskers of the good fennel.
On the way home, Lan Xin's load of fennel was about 200 catties, while Ichiro only carried a little, about 50 to 60 catties. The weight of the fennel made him grimace and look ugly. Along the way, he was pointed at by the people of Maple Ridge. Some called him a Japanese devil, while others said he deserved it.
During lunch, Ichiro Hengshan went to scoop rice. His bowl was full of fennel and there were no grains of rice. Wu Qionggui said,"Child, how can you only eat fennel? You need half fennel and half rice.”
"I like to eat fennel," Ichiro said."I've never eaten fennel before, so I want to eat more fennel now.”
Wan Ren said,"Yilang Yazi, how old are you this year? You should be about the same age as our Lan Xin."”
" I'm also eighteen years old this year," Ichiro said." I enlisted in the army last year. At that time, I was still studying in school. The principal told us that our Emperor's career was expanding and needed manpower.”
"There's another fact that your principal hid," Wan Ren said."The war has consumed your soldiers.”
"Yes, yes," said Ichiro Hengshan."I'll know when I get to China.”
The Fuqing couple had been dead for more than ten years, and their five sons had long been separated. The eldest Mei Mo couple was already in their forties, but they still had no children. The second son, Mei Mao, only had two daughters. One had just learned how to walk, and the other was still in his arms. The third brother, Mei Ji, lived alone. He had not asked for a marriage. Mei Tuo and his wife also had no children, so they lived a quiet life. The fifth brother, Mei Xun, went to the army. After the third battle in Changsha, he joined the national army.
This family was also assigned a Japanese prisoner of war. Whose family would they settle down in? The eldest pushed the second, the second pushed the fourth, and the fourth pushed the eldest, but no one accepted it. The third brother, Mei Ji, said," How about this? Leave it to me. I'm a bachelor anyway, and I have a companion. I'll show you how I torture this Japanese."”
"You can't act recklessly. The government knows how many prisoners they have."”
Meggie said,"I won't mess around. I'm just torturing him to make him remember.”
The Japanese prisoner of war who lived in Meiji's house was called Miki, and he could also speak Chinese.
When it was time to eat, Miki went to scoop rice. Meiji grabbed his hand and said,""You can't go and scoop rice now. I'm the master and you're the servant. You have to wait for me to finish eating before you can scoop rice.”
San Mu put down his bowl and sat at the side. Meiji said,""You can't sit. You have to stand and watch me eat. When you stand, you have to be respectful and not casual.”
When Meggie finished her meal, there were still a few lumps of fennel and a piece of burnt skin left in the pot. Meggie said,"Eat it."
When San Mu was eating, the fresh vegetables on the table had already been finished. There was only a pickled vegetable bowl left. He frowned and finished the meal.
"Wash the dishes," said Meggie."After you dry them, we'll go chop wood.”
San Mu had never washed the dishes before. He didn't know how to wash them, nor did he know the procedure. He scooped some cold water and went to wash them. "This won't do, cold water won't dry the dishes," said Meggie.”
San Mu went to boil water. He put the firewood under the kettle and was about to light a match to boil water. Meiji stopped him and said,"You can't boil water. This firewood is very expensive.”
San Mu said,"Hot water, hot water. There's plenty of hot water for washing dishes."”
"Put your hands in the cold water," said Meggie."The heat from your body will be transferred to the cold water. It won't take long for the cold water to become hot.”
San Mu was baffled. He couldn't understand, so he could only do as he was told. After soaking in the water for a while, he realized that the water was ice cold to his bones. He cursed,"Bagelu, your conscience has been greatly damaged!”
After San Mu finished scolding, he took out his hand and stood at the side in a huff, pouting. Mei Ji said," You Japanese devil, you've eaten leopard guts. How dare you scold me? I'll beat you to death."”
Mei Ji raised his fist and went to hit San Mu. San Mu's grappling and fighting skills were first-class. Mei Ji threw his fist over, and San Mu caught it gently. He pinched Mei Ji's wrist so tightly that Mei Ji could not move.
Meggie said,"Alright, you should go boil water."”
At night, when they were sleeping, Meggie said,"You sleep inside the bed, I'll sleep outside. You go to sleep first and warm up the blanket.”
Meiji boiled a pot of water. He prepared two teapots, one for himself and one for Sanmu. First, he filled his teapot with boiling water and poured the remaining water into Miki's teapot. Then, he scooped a ladle of cold water and poured it into Miki's teapot. Then, he took the urine jar and poured the urine from the urine jar into Miki's teapot. While he was doing all this, Miki had already fallen asleep and was snoring on the bed.
The next day, after having breakfast and drinking tea, Mei Ji explained the two teapots to San Mu. San Mu poured a cup of tea from his own teapot and drank it. After drinking two mouthfuls, he felt that the taste was not right. Why did it smell like urine? He said,"Piss, pee, this tea is bad.”
Mei Ji said," Why are you so nosy? I clearly made this tea last night. Where did the urine come from?" I'm afraid it's a little bitter with too many tea leaves!”
"Is that so? Is it because the tea leaves are bitter?”With that, he finished his tea.
Mei Ji took San Mu to the field and said,""We don't have cows at home. When we plow the fields, we rely on people to pull the plow. Today, you will pull the plow.”
San Mu had no choice but to pull the plow in front while Mei Ji drove him like a cow. The mud of the winter ploughing fields was very moist. Miki's feet were covered in mud when he stepped on it. He simply took off his shoes and socks and walked barefoot in the furrow, stepping on mud all over.
When he got home, Meiji went to relieve himself. San Mu opened the door and first drank tea. He poured a cup of tea from Meiji's teapot and found that the taste was normal. It was very different from what he drank. He drank another cup and then swapped the positions of the two teapots. They were identical teapots, and Meggie wouldn't have noticed if she hadn't marked them.
When Meiji got home, he also drank tea first. His mouth was too dry. He poured a bowl of tea and drank it all. Then he poured another bowl and drank it all. Then he burped and said,"Why does this tea burp smell like urine?”
San Mu chuckled from the side. Mei Ji understood and scolded,"You little Japanese devil, your conscience has been greatly damaged.”
San Mu laughed loudly." You, role model! You have a good conscience!"”
By the end of the year, the Japanese prisoners of war had not been sent back. The big houses in the upper and lower lotus ponds were playing with lions and dragons again. It was the same in Maple Ridge. The young people were full of energy when they said they wanted to play with lions. The prisoners of war were also eager to try. Ichiro Hengshan and Miki even played with a big lion.
The second son of Huimin's family, Qi Zhen, was 12 years old this year. He was still studying under Mr. Rain. He wrote a compliment to the young men of the Lion Dragon Team. Every time they played with a lion, they had to praise it once. Of course, his compliment came in handy.
Qi Zhen wrote: The Japanese army surrendered to the Chinese Dynasty to eat drought fennel. If you don't peel the skin, you don't wash the water. If you defecate, you'll make a tombstone. One or two lumps were sent out, and three or four lumps were a pile. The chopsticks were strung together like the sun as the national emblem. The anise was really delicious. It was sweet without sugar. It was sweet and delicious, and it was more delicious than the Japanese strawberries. The anise could be boiled into sugar, sweet enough to make the beautiful eyebrows of Japan. Open the anise into petals to see, one petal after another in the circle. Only the anise piled up and crushed the Japanese army into ashes. Petal petal drought fennel even into a piece, Japan Japanese soldiers into the iron siege. A pot of fennel was boiled, and the Japanese army was happy to see it. It was hard to win on the battlefield. Eat more anise, defecate more, set up a machine gun, do nothing. Pulling up my trousers to look for a thatched hut, I can't find a drapery to defecate. The officer ate my fennel and snored as he slept. The soldiers ate my anise, and their stomachs were bulging. The secretary ate my fennel and felt tired when he picked up his pen. Okamura Yasuji ate my fennel and became a bandit with his soldiers. Burn them all, rob them all, kill them all, clear the lotus pond up and down the ramparts. It was still the drought fennel that was so wonderful. In the blink of an eye, the Japanese army had turned into ghosts.
