Battalion Commander Zhang Maocai
9 Fragments of Memory II

When Aunt Keiko was saved, although she avoided the most cruel and painful way of dying, the knife had already cut through the carotid artery on her neck. Keiko was rescued by Zhang Maocai along with the fleeing people of various ethnic groups in China. When Zhang Maocai came to Grandpa, Grandpa looked at her and shook his head. There's no hope. I can only bandage it.] When Keiko saw Zhang Maocai's grandfather appear in front of her eyes, tears could not help but flow out of her misty eyes. She could no longer speak. As she sobbed, Zhang Maocai quickly tore off pieces of his sleeves and wrapped them around her neck. However, the cut was too big, and blood continued to flow out of the wound. When Zhang Maocai covered it with his palm, blood kept dripping onto the ground, forming dots.

Keiko passed her last moments in a daze and painlessly in the company of the two, and slowly died as if she had fallen asleep. A few days after her death, she was burned into ashes and sent to the patrol officer of the reclamation team in a box. In Japanese, it was written that the deceased was Kaihara Megumi from the Urban area where the accident happened, and she was called Keiko. The patrol officer and some other patrol officers gathered together to bury the dead.

Shizuko Sahashi's father, Zhang Maocai, had met Shizuko several times in the past three years. However, he had an intuition that this man of the same sex had a cold and heartless heart. As a result, his eyes and face became quiet and he began to avoid it. According to the Japanese rumors, his wife, who was of equal social status, did not get along well. Her face often had some inexplicable stiffness and anger, but Sahashi Shizuko's father had an indifferent and indifferent look on his face. This wife's grandfather found out that the truth of the rumor was that she was hated by Jingzi's father. He felt that she was a boring woman who did not deserve him at all. As a result, he had cheated on many women and secretly let his wife know. However, his wife was not a woman who could not do anything about it. She went to investigate these women in private and found out that even if he had been promiscuous and had children with them, he despised and hated them because they were of a lower background than her. In the end, they would be treated the same. When Zhang Maocai heard the truth, he felt that this man was terrifying. However, he felt that it was not appropriate to say this to Jingzi or her mother directly. The mother and daughter could not withstand the pressure and fluctuations. Mie Zahashi was supposed to have a brilliant achievement in performing as a geisha. She was talented, but she fell in love with Shizuko's father after meeting him. She even threatened to give up everything about geisha and become a housewife who washed and cooked for him. However, Shizuko's father only left behind a message,'If you're a geisha, then so be it. Don't even think about climbing up the threshold of my class.'After a few days, he disappeared without a word. Jingzi's mother gave birth to Jingzi and took care of her. From then on, Jingzi's father never saw the mother and daughter again.

Zhang Maocai's intuition came true within three years. When Zhang Maocai saw Keiko and Jing Zi being dragged to a hospital in Urban area for an experiment while they were unconscious, he knew that Jing Zi's father was the one who signed the experiment. If he did not agree to sign on this matter, Shizuko would never have been dragged up like this. Instead, she would have been safely escorted by the soldiers to a certain area the moment the grenade exploded beside her. After that, she would have met up with the mother and daughter. At most, Keiko would be dragged away like this.

Zhang Maocai rushed in and saved them with his grandfather, but some anger and disgust had already accumulated in Zhang Maocai's seemingly calm expression. However, a Japanese woman with a stiff and angry expression noticed it.

Zhang Maocai returned to the area where he was with his grandfather a few days after settling Jingzi's matter. His grandfather said that someone had gone to their residence to deliver a letter to them. The letter was written in traditional Chinese characters, saying that Jingzi's father would be in Wanping City in Beijing, and that the medical team would spread there. I just hope that you can live until that moment…The Japanese woman only told Zhang Maocai and her grandfather that she knew where Jingzi's father would go, but she was quietly calculating how long she would have to endure this man.

After reading the information provided in the letter, Zhang Maocai felt that it really depended on luck in this matter. But what Zhang Maocai and the rest didn't know was that even Jing Zi's father had the only woman he cared about. She was the good-looking and mediocre chrysanthemum in university many years ago.

She was wearing a kimono and didn't know how to be fashionable. Her face was fair and her single-eyelid eyes were dark. She looked like a passerby woman with an indifferent expression that was common in ancient Japanese paintings. It wasn't that Kikuko hadn't been attracted to him before, and she had even written a note to express her feelings. However, he was not interested in this woman and had thrown her note into the dustbin in front of everyone. However, the woman's mood didn't fluctuate much at that time. She went back and forth every day as usual. She would just sit at a different table from him and pretend that she didn't see him. As time passed, even the women in the class felt that this woman's calmness and coldness were not faked at all. She really did not do anything to him anymore. Some of the women in the class learned from this tactful inquiry that Kikuko said that this kind of thing was not good for me, but since he was like this, it was fine. From now on, I'll pretend that we never met again. The women gathered together and discussed," Kikuko must have wanted to test him before deciding whether or not to invest her feelings in him first…What a smart move. We women should learn from her. She was very broad-minded but not very bright. There was a cold and dark feeling on her forehead…

This made Jingzi's father feel that this woman was different from the other women around her. It was not fun at all. His heart began to slowly grow angry with Kikuko, but Kikuko seemed to have a premonition that he would move to an unknown place in a few days. Only Jingzi's father felt that he was so angry that he wanted to kick somewhere, but since then, no matter how he asked, there was no news from Kikuko. She and the others could never let anyone know her home address and whereabouts. In addition, Japan was also a country with extremely few interpersonal relationships.

However, one should not think that Kikuko's actions seemed to be very powerful. Her nature was that she was a girl who needed someone to comfort her in her heart before she would love someone. Without warmth, a corner of her heart would always be cold, as cold as ice.

A few years later, Jingzi's father saw her find true love. She was sitting on the swing with a man who was pushing her glasses behind her. She was laughing happily, and her eyes and face no longer looked so dark. At that time, Jingzi's father only felt his palms and body trembling non-stop, and his anger was surging up. In the blink of an eye, Kikuko and the man disappeared. Some of the people who had found this interesting back then began to gather around and say,"[So you still care about her more in the end?] Jing Zi's father said coldly,"[That was my fault back then.] With that, he turned around and left. However, this matter had always been hidden in his heart because of this woman, Chrysanthemum.

This was also the kind of woman that a person like him would care about. Zhang Maocai and his Japanese wife's ruthless actions had been brewing behind his back for a few years. He finally tasted the consequences of his actions.
