It's dawn.

Xiaozhong got up very early as usual.

Opening the door, he saw Yak was about to leave.

He nodded to Yak.

Yake forced a smile.

When he and Yak walked downstairs, they were stopped by the hotel owner at the same time:

"Hey, wait a minute."

"Is something wrong?" Xiaozhong asked cautiously.

"It's time to pay," the boss said coldly.

He never had a good look towards such poor people.

Xiao Zhong hurriedly said with a smile: "I am not in good condition at the moment. I will leave it to you tomorrow, tomorrow."

"Tomorrow? Where will you get money tomorrow?"

I originally thought that if I said this, I would be driven away. Unexpectedly, the boss suddenly changed his tone:

"There is an opportunity to make money, do you want it?"

Before Xiao Zhong could answer, the boss said to Yake again: "And you, don't you want to buy medicine for your child? This time you can make a lot of money, and when you come back, I will help you buy it.

Medicine." Ji

Yak's eyes immediately shone with light.

For the sake of his children, he is willing to do anything.

Fool, how can anything be so cheap?

Xiao Zhong thought silently in his heart.

Your money being robbed must have something to do with this boss.

wrong.

Why does the boss let him and Yake do things?

They both have the same status, both have no money, and they are both from other places!

They have no relatives here, and even if something happens, no one will know them.

Could it be that what Brother Shao Yuan asked me to do, he actually figured it out so quickly by some strange combination of tricks?

This can save you a lot of effort.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhong quickly looked flattering, took out a crumpled cigarette from his pocket and handed it over: "I'll go, I'll go, I'll go wherever I can make money."

The boss dismissed his cigarette and pushed away: "What about you, are you going or not?"

Xiao Zhong had already vaguely guessed what was going on. It was very dangerous. Once he went there, he might not be able to come back.

But without giving him a chance to speak, Yak hurriedly said: "I'll go!"

"Okay, then let's wait here."

After the boss finished speaking, he didn't look at them again.

The two people just stood there stupidly.

It wasn't until almost noon that I saw a truck approaching.

The place above was almost full of people.

Like Xiaozhong and Yake, they are all poor people.

The driver, who was also a local, honked the horn.

The boss pointed at the truck and said, "Go on, they will take you there."

Immediately, he shouted to the inside: "Hurry up, too."

What Xiaozhong didn't expect was that the woman whose business he had rejected also walked out.

When I got in the car, I realized that there was more than one woman in the truck.

…

"Where are we going?" Ji

Yak asked in a low voice.

The road we are traveling on is getting more and more desolate, and it is getting harder and harder to navigate.

"have no idea."

Xiao Zhong shook his head.

The woman was sitting next to him.

When we got on the bus, it was almost full, so Xiao Zhong gave his seat to this woman. He sat near the edge of the car, where he would fall off the truck if he was not careful.

This also made the woman say "thank you" to him gratefully.

On the way, Xiao Zhong learned that this woman's name was Kaiya, a local, and she was only seventeen years old.

Kaiya doesn't know why she came either.

Anyway, she does whatever the boss asks her to do.

If you ask more, you will be greeted with a severe beating.

Shaking, Xiao Zhong calculated in his mind that he had been driving for at least five or six hours.

Already far away from Manila.

Along the way, except for stopping once for their convenience, the car was never stopped again.

No water, no food.

Everyone is hungry.

The truck finally stopped, and the driver got out and shouted to his companion:

"Come down, all come down!"

One after another they got out of the truck.

where is this?

Surrounded by woods and valleys, there are few people around.

When we walked into the valley, we suddenly saw Japanese troops holding bayonets and setting up machine guns.

Moreover, there are still a lot of materials piled up.

The driver hurriedly walked up to a Japanese sergeant and said something flattering.

The sergeant gave several orders, and the driver kept saying "Hai".

After a while, two Japanese soldiers came carrying a basin of dark, unnamed food and a bucket of water.

The driver faced his compatriots and immediately said proudly: "It's time to eat, it's time to eat."

These people, who had been so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs, swarmed around for fear that they would not be able to grab food.

Xiao Zhong was young and strong, so he grabbed three pieces, squeezed them out, and summoned Yake and Kaiya to him: "Eat, look at this posture, I guess there is still work to do after eating."

Yake and Kaiya were so grateful that they didn't know what to say.

Under the constant urging of the driver, everyone finished today's dinner in three mouthfuls.

"Hurry up wherever you want to build a place to stay!" The driver pointed at the materials and said, "We can't finish building, so no one can sleep today."

Then, a few more people were asked to come out and be responsible for setting up tents specifically for the Japanese.

While Xiaozhong was working, he was calculating silently.

A temporary and crude shelter can accommodate ten to twelve people.

So based on the number of buildings to be built, I am definitely not the only one who will come here.

Tomorrow morning, more people will come!

A group of people were busy until dawn, and then all the work was completed.

The sergeant was obviously very satisfied and ordered everyone to have two hours of sleep.

Everyone was already exhausted. As soon as they heard this, they quickly got into the temporary tent.

Before Xiao Zhong entered the tent, he saw that the women who came with them were all grabbed by the Japanese soldiers and pulled into the tent with a grin.

And Kaiya became the prey of that sergeant.

Xiao Zhong sighed inwardly.

No one can save this kind of thing, including himself!
