Chapter 518: I had to raise money to bury her
Que Dongjin and the other three entered Langbu City chatting and laughing. Little Wolf entered the city and began to look around. He saw that the shops on both sides of the street had signs hanging on them, and many of the signs had Japanese writing underneath the Chinese words.
"Captain Que, why are there Japanese words on those signs?" asked Little Wolf.
"Little Wolf, have you forgotten again? Don't call me like that, call me the shopkeeper. Is it strange that there are Japanese words on those signs? This place is also a Japanese-occupied area like Gela City. It must be the Japanese devils here who have this rule!" Que Dongjin said.
"Is that so! These little Japanese really deserve to die!" said the little wolf.
"Be careful with your words and don't cause trouble." Que Dongjin said.
"Little Wolf, you have to be careful. Don't think you can talk nonsense just because you haven't seen the Japanese. There are many plainclothes officers here," said Zhang Dahu.
"Oh." After hearing what they said, the little wolf really stopped talking. He just looked at the people and shops on both sides curiously.
"Let's go to my aunt's house in this alley." Que Dongjin said as he walked towards the alley on the left. He thought that his aunt should still be living in his adoptive father's house. The last time he came back, he said that his adoptive father's house belonged to her.
Que Dongjin thought of his aunt's care for his adoptive father and how she pulled him back from the casino. He initially thought that his adoptive father would have a few years of good life under her care, but he didn't expect that his adoptive father would die so soon at the hands of the Japanese.
Que Dongjin was a little excited when he saw his adoptive father's house. He remembered how kind his aunt was to him. She was still quite charming at that time, but she was devoted to him. He thought she was just playing around, but then his adoptive father told him that women are sincere and kind-hearted.
Que Dongjin arrived at the door and saw it was closed. There was a white paper couplet on the door. Didn't someone just die? What happened? My adoptive father had been dead for so long, almost two years. How could this happen?
Que Dongjin said to Zhang Dahu and the other two, "Wait a minute, I'll go ask the neighbors."
"Okay, go ask!"
Que Dongjin had a bad feeling in his heart, but he didn't believe it was true. He went to his neighbor's house, saw Aunt Wang, and greeted her with a smile.
"Are you Que Dongjin? You're finally back! Your aunt, she..."
"Auntie Wang, what happened to my aunt?"
"She, ah! Damn little Japanese!" Aunt Wang cursed.
The Japanese again? My adoptive father was a Japanese, and my aunt was killed by the Japanese?
"Auntie Wang, what's going on with my aunt?" Que Dongjin asked.
"It was a hot night that day. Your aunt was sitting in front of the door to enjoy the cool air. Some Japanese soldiers on night patrol passed by this alley for some reason! The Japanese soldiers never passed by like this before. Two Japanese soldiers saw your aunt. It was a hot day, so your aunt was naturally not wearing enough." Aunt Wang looked at Que Dongjin and said this, feeling embarrassed to continue.
Que Dongjin remembered that his aunt liked to wear short-sleeved clothes on hot days and fan herself with a fan. Her clothes were very thin, and her adoptive father often made fun of her. She was already middle-aged, but still so plump. Could it be that the Japanese were attracted by her?
"Auntie Wang, please speak!"
"You know, although your aunt is so old, she is good-looking. The main thing is that it was hot, and the Japanese soldiers saw her and had evil thoughts. They said they wanted to check her good citizen certificate. Your aunt went into the house to get the certificate, but the Japanese soldiers followed her in. Two of them! Beasts! They actually did that to your aunt! Your aunt was insulted, and when she resisted, she was beaten by the Japanese soldiers. She was so angry that she committed suicide by hanging herself. We neighbors saw that she had no relatives, so we had to pool money to bury her." Aunt Wang said with tears in her eyes.
Que Dongjin gritted his teeth and looked at Aunt Wang: "Thank you for burying my aunt and letting her rest in peace. Who was in charge of the burial?"
"My man." Aunt Wang said.
"Oh. This money is for you. Give some money to other neighbors who helped! And for this house of my adoptive father, I will write a receipt as a thank you to you." Que Dongjin said.
"Que Dongjin, no, no. This house is left to you. We can't take it." Aunt Wang said.
"Auntie Wang, I don't want this house. Don't be polite. My aunt is saved thanks to you. Otherwise, she would have been left dead at home." Que Dongjin said.
"It's our neighbor's responsibility. I really can't take the house. You gave me so much money, and we will distribute it to the neighbors in proportion to the amount they contributed. This money is enough..."
"Auntie Wang, I really don't want the house. You have to accept my feelings." Que Dongjin said.
"That's fine. We'll help you manage it temporarily. When you want to move in again, we'll return it to you," said Aunt Wang.
"Aunt Wang, I won't be back in the future. I have bought a new house outside. You can arrange this house however you want in the future. I want to pay homage to my aunt. Can you take me to her grave?" Que Dongjin said.
"Yes, yes. Que Dongjin, when we discussed it, everyone agreed to bury your aunt and your adoptive father together, so her grave will be next to your adoptive father's grave, making it a double grave." Aunt Wang said.
"Is that so! Then you don't need to lead the way. I'll write you a note and we'll go by ourselves." Que Dongjin said as he went to buy paper and pen, wrote a note and gave it to Aunt Wang, and then went with Xiaolang and the others to pay homage to his aunt.
Que Dongjin and Zhang Dahu arrived at the grave, burned incense and paper money, and knelt in front of the grave. He knelt in front of the grave and said, "Father, Auntie, I never thought that you two would be harmed by the Japanese devils! Rest in peace! I will avenge you!"
"I'm not going back today. I killed the Japanese patrolling in Langbu City!" said Jiang Wukui.
"Yes, we killed the night patrol boy to avenge my aunt." Zhang Dahu also said.
"Let's kill the Japs!" said Little Wolf.
"Father, aunt, you heard it, my brothers and I think the same thing. Tonight, we will kill the Japanese to avenge you!" said Que Dongjin.
After paying tribute to his adoptive father and his aunt, Que Dongjin returned to the city. He took Zhang Dahu to a hotel, ordered some dishes and some wine.
"Drink!" said Que Dongjin.
"Are you still drinking?" Zhang Dahu asked.
"I feel energetic after drinking!" said Que Dongjin.
"Okay, but we can't get drunk," said Jiang Wukui.
"Don't worry! The shopkeeper knows." said the little wolf.
Que Dongjin and Zhang Dahu were five levels drunk and stopped drinking. He looked at Xiaolang and said, "Xiaolang, when we move, you must follow me carefully and don't get separated."
"Boss, don't worry! I will be fine." said the little wolf.
"Let's go out for a walk first. Tonight, we will walk around the city!" said Que Dongjin.
Of course, Zhang Dahu and the others knew that Que Dongjin meant to kill all the Japanese soldiers patrolling the city.
"Yes, I've been to all directions," said Jiang Wukui.
Night fell. Que Dongjin looked at Zhang Dahu and said, "Let's split up. You and Jiang Wukui will go north and south, and I'll go east and west with Xiaolang. We'll finally meet up in the alley next to the iron shop near the north gate. How about that?"
"Okay." Zhang Dahu and Jiang Wukui said.
"Be careful and remember to count," said Que Dongjin.
"It's okay." said Zhang Dahu.
"Little Wolf, follow me." Que Dongjin said as he said goodbye to Zhang Dahu and Jiang Wukui.
Little Wolf followed Que Dongjin as they walked through the alley. Que Dongjin said, "Little Wolf, follow me. Don't get separated. You're not familiar with this place. If the Japanese seal the city gates and search, you won't be able to escape by yourself."
"I understand." said the little wolf.
"Did you see that? There are two night patrolmen in front." Que Dongjin said.
"I see."
"It's not convenient for us to take action here. You lead them to the alley on the left. I'll wait for them there." Que Dongjin said as he walked a few steps forward and turned into the alley.
The little wolf walked to the two Japanese soldiers. He pretended to be dumb and shouted "Ah ah", pointing his finger at the alley on the left and making random gestures. The two Japanese soldiers didn't understand what he said. Seeing that he was alone and dumb, they didn't know what happened in the alley, so they asked him to take them to see what was going on.
Little Wolf walked ahead as two Japanese soldiers, guns drawn, headed toward the alley. Once inside, Little Wolf glanced around but didn't see Que Dongjin. He thought, "Didn't we agree to kill the Japanese soldiers here? Why isn't he here? Can I really kill two of them?"
No, is he hiding in the door in front? The house in front also has a door, so I have to lead the devil in. He gestured to the devil with his hands, meaning that someone was holding a beautiful girl. The devil finally understood what he meant and asked him to take him to find her.
Xiaolang led the Japanese soldier for a few more steps, and suddenly felt something flying down from above his head. When he turned around, he saw Que Dongjin's legs clamped around the neck of one Japanese soldier, and his hands clamped around the neck of another Japanese soldier. His hands and feet twisted at the same time, and the Japanese soldier's neck was broken with a snap. When the Japanese soldier fell to the ground, Que Dongjin stood firmly on the ground.
"Quickly drag them to the open space at the corner." Que Dongjin said.
Little Wolf was stunned by what he saw. He dragged the devil along with him and followed Que Dongjin without saying a word. Que Dongjin put the devil away and said, "Let's go! As long as the devil doesn't see us, no one will report it."
"Guns! Let's take them!" said the little wolf.
"We don't want guns. It's inconvenient to carry guns." Que Dongjin said as he took the Japanese's gun and smashed it.
"Boss, you are so awesome! I was stunned. I didn't see you when I first entered the alley. I didn't expect you to be on the wall." said the little wolf.
"This alley is narrow. You can go up and hide by spreading your legs." Que Dongjin said.
