Chapter 338 The Judgment of Fate (first update, please subscribe)
What is waiting for them?
It is the judgment of fate!
At four o'clock in the morning, as the siren sounded, Haradazawa and others got up from the Taitong made of wooden planks. Although the thatched shed was well ventilated, because he could not take a shower, he had to finish his work every day. In the end, people who were sweating profusely could only cover their sweat in bed. This cycle compounded, leaving a strong and pungent smell in the thatched hut.
But people must learn to adapt.
Without washing his face or brushing his teeth, as soon as he got up, Haradazawa rushed towards the cafeteria like everyone else, then lined up in front of the cafeteria to sing first.
"The broadsword cuts down on the Japanese... Get ready, sing...!"
As soon as the guard's song ended, Haradazawa started singing along.
"The broadsword is slashing at the enemy's head, brothers armed across the country, the day of the war of resistance has come..."
The loud singing broke the silence of the morning, over and over again, to sing until the guards are satisfied.
Finally, after singing five times, Haradazawa's squadron could enter the cafeteria to eat. There were no seats in the cafeteria, and everyone had to stand up to eat. The quality of the food...it was sweet potato porridge, and the salty porridge was mixed with some shredded rice. Vegetable leaves.
It’s not delicious, but at least they can eat enough. From this point of view, it is definitely better than staying in Japan. After all, they are likely to starve in Japan.
People who had finished breakfast then lined up to fill the bamboo tubes with water in the water tank. Like others, Haradazawa also had two bamboo tubes to fill with water. In the next day, this was their only Some clean water.
The water in the rainforest is not drinkable. It is full of various parasites. Drinking it may kill someone!
Actually, people die here every day.
In the silent rain forest, it seems that the sun will never be seen. After arriving at the reclamation area, the prisoners used saws and axes to cut down trees, just like in the past. The sound of logging and people's shouts broke the silence of the rainforest.
Suddenly, a scream came from not far away.
"Saten was bitten by a snake, bitten by a snake..."
Haradazawa ran over in a hurry. Of course, he was not there to save people, but to catch the snake. When When he passed by, a venomous snake with a thick arm had been beaten to death.
“Haha, I ate some snake meat... I’m in a good mood today!”
Although the people around him helped Zuo Teng suck out the poisonous blood, whether he can survive or not depends entirely on fate.
More people looked at the snake with envy. Today, their team is in good luck. They can cook snake soup for lunch... Someone will care for the injured. After all, if you are bitten by a snake, There are two outcomes, either life or death.
However, people soon returned to the arduous work. They had a quota for reclamation every day. If they could not complete it, dinner and breakfast the next day would be cancelled.
While people were working hard, the people around Haradazawa suddenly fell down.
"Komatsu, Komatsu..."
When they were helped up, everyone noticed that Xiaosong was posing.
“Hey, I’m infected with malaria again!”
Malasia!
It is the most common disease in prisoner-of-war camps, ranging from mild chills and fever to severe malignant malaria, which can cause high fever, coma and convulsions, with a high mortality rate. Sometimes 20 to 30 people get sick every day in the camp. There are no other anti-abuse drugs except quinine and Adipine in the camp. Comatose patients cannot take it orally, so they have to grind Adipine into powder and use it. Dissolve in distilled water, then boil with alcohol lamp for intramuscular injection. The most embarrassing disease is black water fever. A large number of protozoa in this disease block the patient's renal tubules, resulting in high fever, hematuria and coma, and the patient is almost certain to die.
After watching others send Komatsu away, Haradazawa couldn't help but complain.
"Baga, those Tang people are going to kill us all here. Dozens of people are crowded together. There is no screen window, no mosquito net, we will die sooner or later..."
Haradazawa's side As soon as he finished speaking, a cold sweat broke out on his back!
He looked around, the others seemed not to have heard, okay, okay, no one heard, no one paid attention...
Harada, who was lucky, immediately started doing it When I got a job, I worked even harder, for fear that I would be reported for not working hard.
Here, not working hard is called inactivity. Verbal complaints are called resistance to transformation. If someone reports you, you will not be fined with two meals, you may even lose your life.
But for whistleblowers, by reporting those around them for resisting reform, they can get a day's rest in the ward and three meals in the ward. In fact, it was just rice, but there was more oil and water in it
That afternoon, when he returned to the camp after work, Haradazawa was called out. From the moment he was called out, he knew I'm done for.
"Baga, you actually betrayed your compatriots!"
Haradazawa looked at his teammates with angry eyes, but he was too angry to speak out. If he really said it, Then he will definitely die.
"You said that there are no mosquito nets or screens in the barracks to deliberately kill you, right?"
"My nonsense, sir, please forgive me!"
A deep bow ninety years ago Haradazawa, who was saved, had only one thought, that is, he could suffer less punishment.
“Very good, knowing your mistakes can make a lot of improvements!”
After looking at it, he nodded and said,
"Follow the rules! If you are dissatisfied with the reform and complain, you will be punished with five lashes and three days of solitary confinement in a cage!"
Haradazawa, who had his hands on the rack, stood there nervously. When he was about to be executed, the executioner stuffed a wooden stick into his mouth.
Then the executioner's cane whip was raised high, and then came down hard. "Bah!" His buttocks were whipped to pieces in an instant!
"Ah..."
With just one whip, Haradazawa almost fainted.
One time, another time... I don't know when, Haradazawa fell into a coma.
I don’t know how long it took, but the severe pain spread to all the limbs and bones, and penetrated deep into the bone marrow. The burning pain awakened Haradazawa’s vague consciousness, and he suddenly opened his eyes - he found that he had been stuffed. "Chicken Cage" - the cage is located on the edge of the playground, with no cover and no barriers. People cannot stand up or lie down in it.
When he woke up, it was already the second day, and the scorching sun shone on his body, even causing a burning sensation. Haradazawa, who was curled up, could not even move, sweat was flowing. time, which made the wound on my butt hurt even more.
"Baga, you don't know how to keep your mouth shut?"
Now full of regret, Haradazawa has only one thought...Rain! It would be nice if it rained. At least I could drink a few mouthfuls of rainwater.
In the chicken coop, whether you can eat or not depends entirely on the mood of the guards. Under normal circumstances, they are not in the mood to deliver meals.
On the first day, there was no rain and no food.
The next day, there was still no food, and there was no rain until the evening.
Hungry and thirsty, Haradazawa was like a corpse. He curled up in the cage and let flies bite his butt. He even had an illusion that maggots had grown in the wound.
Haradazawa, who had not had a drop of water for two days, began to hallucinate. He thought of his wife at home, his mother and children who starved to death, and what happened to him and other people in the winter last year. A day that survives by eating human flesh.
Live, I want to live, I want to live... No matter what, I have to live, return to Japan alive, I must not die here.
Thinking of this, Haradazawa seemed to have the courage to live again, but the pain in his body continued to torture him, making his will relax little by little.
On the third day, the scorching sun was still scorching him, and Haradazawa, whose lips were chapped, felt a little blurry in consciousness, but he still didn’t want to die, he really didn’t want to die!
"I want to live, I must live..."
The will to survive gave Haradazawa some energy again. He vaguely saw a guard passing by not far away. , so he shouted with all his strength.
"Sir, I want to confess, I want to make merit, I want to make merit... I want to atone! I want to atone!"
