Yang Xinguo and his group headed north. The people on the road kept staring at the two new teenagers in student uniforms. Tang Xiaojuan also kept staring at them. Yang Xinguo didn't pay much attention to them because he had extraordinary hearing and perception. He could cope with the challenges of all unknown things and accept all new things.”
"Where will that Chinese person take us?”
"I don't know. Anyway, the military promised us that each of us would have a piece of land.”
"I heard that we are the third batch of immigrants. After us, Japan will migrate to Manchuria.”
"Keep your voice down. Don't let the Chinese people hear you.”
"It's okay. Our voices are so low that they can't hear us.”
A few Japanese people were whispering. They spoke very softly, so no one could hear them, but Yang Xinguo heard their conversation…
"Pioneering group? Full migration?" Because they were all speaking Japanese, and Yang Xinguo only knew a little Japanese, he could only understand a few words. He was puzzled and didn't seem to understand. At this time, he didn't expect that in the near future, the term " pioneer group " would become a pain in the hearts of all the Northeasterners.
Yang Xinguo and Tang Xiaojuan brought the pioneering team to his hometown, Xianghe Village. The endless paddy fields, the endless green trees in the forest, and the faint waterfalls and springs in the clouds were eye-opening for the Japanese who came here for the first time.
"Daddy, look, who's back!”Wu Xiuzhen, who was harvesting wheat at the village entrance, immediately threw down her hoe and ran home to shout to Uncle Wu when she saw Yang Xinguo.
"Who is it? Why are you shouting?”When Old Wu heard this, he stretched and stood up from his bronze armchair. When he saw Yang Xinguo, he was so excited that he almost shed tears."Wolf Child! You're back?" Old Wu shouted excitedly and walked towards Yang Xinguo. Yang Xinguo also quickly ran over and hugged Old Wu tightly,"Grandpa! I've missed you guys for so many years!" Wolf Child was so excited that he also shed tears.
"Not bad, not bad. You've grown so big and you're taller, but your body is still so strong!”Old Wu patted Yang Xinguo's chest hard." Oh right, how are you doing in the county? Did anyone bully you?"
"I'm doing very well. No one bullies me. Grandpa, I have a new name now called Yang Xinguo. You should call me Yang Xinguo from now on.”Yang Xinguo said excitedly.
"Good! What a good name! Xin, Yang Xinguo! The future of the new motherland will depend on your generation!”Old Wu said passionately.
"Grandpa Wu, Aunty Wu, where are Uncle Yang and the others?”Yang Xinguo asked again.
"He…he's been in the forest all day, hunting.”Wu Xiuzhen said shyly.
"That little girl is quite pretty. Did he bring it back to be his wife?”Wu Xiuzhen pulled Yang Xinguo aside and whispered.
"No…"
"Hello, Auntie, Grandpa. I'm Yang Xinguo's friend, Tang Xiaojuan.”Before Yang Xinguo could speak, Tang Xiaojuan said.
"Hello! Look at how beautiful the girl is. Look at how tough you are. It's our fortune that she likes our child. Don't you think so, Dad?”Wu Xiuzhen said to Old Master Wu.
"This, Xiuzhen, you can't speak carelessly. If you do this, you might ruin the girl's innocence.”Old Wu shook his head.
"Grandpa, it's okay. I like Yang Xinguo, so I'm not afraid of others gossiping.”Tang Xiaojuan said with a red face.
" Look, this little girl speaks so well. Come, little girl, let me take a look." Wu Xiuzhen walked to Tang Xiaojuan and patted her head." Aiyo, you're really a little beauty!"”
"Hey! Old man, who is the village chief here?”At this moment, a voice suddenly came from not far away. Yang Xinguo looked behind and saw that it was the Japanese. This Japanese was called Ikeda Shun, a retired Japanese soldier. Two months ago, he came to China with his family to participate in the armed migration (also known as the pioneering group) operation.
"Who are you?" Only then did Old Wu realize that there were hundreds of people dressed strangely behind Yang Xinguo...
At this moment, the Japanese woman in front was called Sugimoto Yumi. She was wearing a traditional kimono suit, wooden clogs, and cloth socks. A white headscarf was wrapped around her head and shone in the sunlight. She walked over and bowed deeply to the old village chief Wu. Then, she said, We are the people of the Yamato race. We have just entered your territory and do not want to disturb you. Please forgive us!”
"Are you Japanese?" Old Wu asked with hostility.
"Yes, old man, we are Japanese civilians.”The Japanese woman bowed again.
"Japanese, please go back to your homeland in Japan. You are not welcome here!”Old Wu turned around and left." Wolf child, little girl, let's go home!"”
"Alright." Yang Xinguo and Tang Xiaojuan replied at the same time. Their tacit understanding made Tang Xiaojuan blush a little…
"Baka! Don't be ungrateful!" A few Japanese people standing at the back cursed at the same time, but they were persuaded by Sugimoto Yuumi.
"Alright, Chinese people, just you wait!”Ikeda said fiercely…
When they got home, Yang Xinguo told Old Wu everything he had heard from the Japanese…
"What is it? Pioneering team? What is that thing?" Old Wu was also confused.
"Anyway, they are all Japanese. They are definitely not good things. Look at those Japanese people today.”Wu Xiuzhen said.
"It's better for us to be more careful. If there's nothing else, don't go out. It's chaotic outside.”Old Man Wu warned.
"Grandpa Wu, don't be afraid. You have me!”Yang Xinguo patted his chest and said.
"That's right! Our Wolf Child has grown up and can protect us women, children, and the elderly. But don't forget, you're still a child. How can you fight against a group of Japanese?”Old Wu sighed." Alright, you guys are tired after a day. Go wash up and sleep!"”
……
"Hahaha!" Early the next morning, with the sound of a rooster crowing, Wu Lil 'Six was about to go out and pluck the new seedlings. However, just as he walked out of the door, a terrifying scene happened. All the new seedlings in the entire crop field had disappeared! All that was left were withered and dead wheat roots…
"Not good, Grandpa Wu, not good!!”Wu Lil 'Six hurriedly shouted.
When everyone heard this, they immediately got out of bed. Old Master Wu opened the door and asked,"Little Six, what's wrong? Why are you so flustered?”
"Grandpa Wu, all our wheat has been dug up!”Wu Xiaoliu said with a sad face.
"What?!" Old Wu walked outside and saw the desolate wheat field. He immediately fell to the ground.
"Daddy!" "Grandpa Wu!" They shouted at the same time…
"The doctor said that Grandpa Wu is fine. He just fainted because he was too excited. As long as he is carefully recuperated, he will slowly recover.”Yang Xinguo said to Wu Xiuzhen as he fed Old Wu the medicine.
"I don't know who was so wicked to uproot all the wheat in our house and cause Dad to become like this!”Wu Xiuzhen said angrily.
"I think it must have been done by the Japanese who came this morning. Last night, I heard some movement in the backyard. I couldn't understand it, so I thought it was an animal's cry. I didn't expect it to become like this the next morning.”"If I had known this would happen, I would have picked up my hoe and fought them to the death!" Wu Xiaoliu said in frustration.”
"Despicable Pioneering Regiment!" Yang Xinguo thought to himself.
……
"Dong dong dong, dong!" The next day, there was another knock on the door. It was a squire named Sun Laosan. Wu Xiuzhen opened the door. When she saw the Japanese behind Sun Laosan, she was about to close the door, but Ikeda stopped her...
"Aunt Wu, don't be so agitated. Let's sit down and talk slowly.”Sun Laosan said.
"Old Sun, why did you bring me a ghost?”Wu Xiuzhen looked at Ikeda angrily.
"Xiuzhen, you can't say that. Mr. Ikeda is Japanese, and Japanese people are guests from afar.”Sun Laosan boasted.
"You say it better than you sing. A guest stole everything from the host's house without even letting out a fart?”Wu Xiuzhen pointed at Ikeda and said angrily,""Let me tell you, I'm letting them off easy by not bringing them to the authorities.”
" Aunt Wu, calm down. Ikeda-san didn't mean it that way. They…"
"Aunt Wu, our arrival has been approved by your government, chief, and county head. Look, this is the contract.”Ikeda took out a piece of paper and handed it to Wu Xiuzhen.
"Sister can't read. Xin, read it to me.”Wu Xiuzhen handed the piece of paper to Yang Xinguo.
"In order to promote the common prosperity of our Great East Asia, the government has decided that from today onwards, 17 villages, including Xianghe Village, Xiangwang Village, and Futian Village, will be given to Japanese immigrants to live in for agricultural production. [Written on January 31, 1919, Decree No. 1, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the National Government.]”Yang Xinguo read slowly.
"What nonsense is this? I don't understand! Xin, explain!" Wu Xiuzhen said impatiently.
"Let me explain. This letter says that from now on, you will live and farm with us. If you are unwilling, then get lost!”Ikeda said fiercely.
"What did you say?" Wu Xiuzhen said in disbelief.
"Think about it carefully. I'll give you three days. If you still have this attitude after three days, I'll have no choice but to get your government to chase you away! Hahaha!" Ikeda laughed and walked out of the door with Sun Laosan.
"You guys!" Wu Xiuzhen collapsed to the ground." I didn't expect that the National Government, which we had so much hope for, would sign such a treaty with the Japanese. How are we supposed to live without land?!"”Wu Xiuzhen pulled Yang Xinguo over and said,"Wolf Child, hurry to the South Camp behind Tianshan and find your Uncle Yang and the others. Now that the government doesn't care about us, we can only rely on them!”
"But isn't Uncle Yang a hunter?”
"Let me tell you, your Uncle Yang is not an ordinary hunter. Go and come back quickly. The lives of hundreds of people in Xianghe Village are now in your hands!”Wu Xiuzhen begged Yang Xinguo earnestly.
"Don't worry, Auntie Yang. I'll definitely bring Uncle Yang over!”Yang Xinguo nodded firmly. He packed his luggage and set off for the South Camp. Of course, Tang Xiaojuan followed him…
