Chapter 410 Big Man Zhang’s Happy Life (First update, please subscribe)
There is really no hope!
In the third year after the end of the war, Japan still cannot see a glimmer of hope, and all people are still shrouded in hunger and poverty. This can be seen from Tokyo.
It was getting dark, and Zhang Shan went out as usual. Beside a fountain, he saw a ragged woman feeding her own water on the spray of water. child.
Hirayama strolls to Ginza - according to Americans, this is the Broadway of Tokyo. What the hell is Broadway? Haruyama doesn't know, but this is the only lively place in the city. He can Hearing the noise from Japan, they gathered around the display window of the US military consumer cooperative and watched the T-shirts, combat jackets and leather military shoes of American soldiers arrayed inside. Children and young girls pestered the American soldiers and asked them Ask for gum, candy, chocolate or some knick-knacks in exchange for dollars.
The stalls of small vendors occupy both sides of the street. The prices are astonishingly high, and the buyers are all American soldiers.
"Please look at it, the Japanese yen will do."
The Japanese in uniform shouted with red faces, holding some crudely printed postcards in their hands. All kinds of crudely made fake goods are placed in the open space where two department stores were once located, both of which were flattened by bombs during the war. Until now, reconstruction has not resumed.
Going further, a newly opened ballroom has already lit up a large signboard "Allied Soldiers, we are about to open. Beautiful women welcome you." Two people in tacky clothes and heavy makeup on their faces Women in makeup distributed flyers and were thinly dressed. Although they were shivering from the cold, they still greeted Zhang Shan warmly when they saw him.
After all, he is an Allied soldier. In Japan, an Allied soldier is a rich man.
It is even the hope for many people to survive.
Walking like this, passing through several streets - which should be said to be ruins, he came to a house that looked relatively complete, but the wall on the other side had turned into Gravel and rubble, overgrown with weeds. In addition, a faint light flashed in most of the houses that were still intact.
When he walked to the door, the door opened. A twenty-year-old girl opened the door. Her black eyes flashed with joy when she looked at him.
"Ah Shan, you are here! Mom, it's Ah Shan!"
The girl spoke fluent Chinese.
"Mariko, please call me Big Man from now on. I'm used to others calling me that."
Handing the paper bag in his arms to Mariko, Zhang Shan said. Even now, he is still not used to the name "Ah Shan".
For Zhang Dazai, from "deserter" Zhang Dazai to occupation army first-class soldier Zhang San, and then to staff sergeant Zhang Shan, his fate has been changing like a roller coaster.
Unlike Nanyang, which is like summer all year round, it has already snowed in Tokyo in January. Zhang Shan, wearing a dark green woolen coat, stood next to a group of Japanese people. He was nearly 1.9 meters tall and tall. He was like a giant, and all the men and women around him looked up at him.
Zhang Shan has become accustomed to such looks. When facing people's looks, he will even respond to them with a smile.
Four years ago, when he was still working in the reclamation area, he joined the expeditionary force because he came here to take revenge.
But when he set foot on this land, he looked at the skeletons of those who were tortured by hunger. People couldn't bear it anymore.
In the end, with a deep hatred of blood, he still failed to set off the fire, not because many places were burned to the ground by US bombers, but because he couldn't bear it and couldn't bear to kill those orphans and widows. Their shabby shelter was burned down.
“I am a human being, not an animal!”
From then on, he felt relieved. After all, he still did not blame ordinary people for the crime. Later, he even helped Some Japanese people give children some food or candy.
"Well, big man, come in quickly, it's very cold outside."
In fact, it's also very cold inside the house. After entering the house, Zhang Shan saw Mariko's mother, who looked less than thirty years old. Woman, she said with a respectful salute.
"Mr. Zhang, thank you for your trouble again."
Mrs. Xiaocun can also speak Chinese. They lived in China for a long time before the war. Her husband was a diplomat. Three years ago They died together in an air raid. She also had a son who died in Kyushu, so she and Mariko were the only ones left in the family.
“This is what I should do.”
Although he has lived here for half a year, Zhang Shan is still not used to talking to his wife. Last year, when he was shopping, he heard a woman calling for help. Two American soldiers were dragging a Japanese woman to a jeep. Originally, Zhang Shan He didn't want to pay attention to it. After all, no one even bothered the Japanese around him. But when the woman calling for help saw him, she immediately shouted for help in Chinese. Thinking that she was a compatriot, he rushed over and waited until she was rescued. I know she is a Japanese woman who can speak Chinese.
While the woman kept thanking her, he sent her home. On the way, he learned that her name was Mariko. Her father was a diplomat. He had lived in China when he was a child, so he could speak Chinese.
What next?
After returning to the military camp, Mariko's beautiful face once again appeared in Zhang Shan's mind. This was the first time that he felt a male impulse. The next day, he brought two boxes of cans with him Came to Mariko's house with a bag of candy.
Everything that happened next seemed to be natural. Just a few days later, he moved in here. Mariko's gentleness made Zhang Shan fall in unconsciously, but the only thing that made him uncomfortable was Madam's cold and distant attitude. However, today seemed a little different from the past, and her eyes seemed to be a little evasive.
Finally, after dinner, the lady got up and left. When the lady left, Zhang Shan couldn't help but take another look at her. Her steps looked very graceful.
After Mariko packed up everything, as usual, she quickly got into Zhang Shan's bed and huddled in his arms. This was the basic choice for keeping warm.
"There is no winter in Nanyang, right?" "Yeah."
Zhang Shan said, stroking the woman's back with his hand.
"I will retire and return to China in March. Mariko, have you thought about going to Nanyang?"
"Well, I will go with you. It is a very happy thing to be able to go to Nanyang. When they find out, , are all jealous of me."
Lying in the man's arms, hugging him tightly, Mariko said.
"But I don't worry about mom, I'm worried about her being alone..."
While speaking, she raised her head and looked at Zhang Shan and said.
"Shall we take her with us?"
"This, this is impossible. You have to apply for a visa to go to Nanyang. You are a military dependent. As your mother, you definitely don't want to Go to Nanyang as a laborer, and even if you go to Nanyang, you can only stay for two years..."
"That's just the family."
Mariko looked at him and said.
“What?”
Zhang Shan looked at Mariko in confusion.
"Are you talking about introducing someone to Madam? It's such a hurry now, how can there be such a suitable time..."
"You!"
Mariko's words There was a "bang" sound in Zhang Shan's head. He was a little confused and even couldn't react.
“You can take us all away, if, if we are all pregnant, as you told me before, Sergeant Major Liu will take back three women, all of whom are pregnant with his children... …”
Before Mariko finished speaking, Zhang Shan said.
"That's different, they are...you are, you are..."
What did she say?
How can such a thing happen down here?
It's not moral decay, it's not... For a moment, he didn't even know how to describe his mood at this time.
This matter really challenges the bottom line of human morality.
If word spreads, how will we behave in the future?
But the problem is, the problem is...
"She will be my sister from now on. My big man,"
"No, she is clearly, clearly It’s...”
She is clearly your mother, my mother-in-law.
"That's not important..."
Mariko shook her head stubbornly and said.
"If mom stays here, she will definitely starve to death, and there are so many bad people now. How can I rest assured if she stays here alone? Big man, my big man, for me , save her, okay?"
Lying in his arms, Mariko said.
"And I have already made an agreement with her, and she has agreed...and she is coming soon."
As she finished speaking, the sound of the door being pulled came, and in the silence In the dark night, its voice is very clear, and you can hear some obstruction and hesitation...
