Chapter 1034 Enduring Humiliation and the Dancer of the Republic of China (9)

Xu Jing fell asleep after drinking the milk brought by the servants, but after waking up in Yihonglou, she knew that she had no home anymore. She thought she would die in that dirty place, but she was unwilling to accept that. She was unwilling to be sold by her stepmother and fall into hell, so she resisted and struggled desperately to escape from the hands of the pimp. She ran and ran, but the pimp and his thugs behind her were biting her tightly like hyenas...

She ran so hard that her throat bled, and she despaired that she would never be able to escape the clutches of the devil. However, she did not expect that just when she could not hold on any longer, the people who were chasing her from behind suddenly fell to the ground one by one, rolling on the ground wailing, as if they had fallen heavily and had no time to chase her at all.

She couldn't help but take the opportunity to slow down her pace and take a break, thinking that her resistance had finally moved God, and that God was helping her, causing these villains to fall into a ball, giving her time to escape.

But the moment she turned around, she saw a thin and handsome young man, looking at the villains on the ground with an expressionless face. His toes seemed to accidentally pick up the pebbles on the road, and then those pebbles "happened" to shoot at the hands and feet of those people, making them fall even more messily and unable to get up.

Then she suddenly understood that it was not God who opened her eyes, but someone who helped her, that young man.

The young man did this silently, calmly and calmly as if nothing had happened, and left leisurely. He did not continue to teach those bad guys a lesson, nor did he have any intention of saving her to the end.

But Xu Jing remembered him. While avoiding the people in Yihonglou, she also waited on the avenue in the town. Finally, her benefactor appeared, so she followed him quietly.

The benefactor was indeed sharp-eyed and soon discovered her. She realized that the benefactor did not want to have anything to do with her, so she did not reveal that she knew he had saved her, but only asked him if he could find a place for her to stay.

Although her benefactor was very cold to her, he was very soft-hearted and really found the village chief for her, so she successfully stayed in Huangshi Village.

Even though she lived in a shabby house with leaks everywhere and even though she was hungry, she felt safe and happy because she didn't have to be on guard and try to please everyone like she did in her previous home, nor did she have to worry about being sold to a brothel the next day.

She relied on her own hands to help the villagers with work, such as carrying water, collecting firewood, looking after children, and pulling weeds... These jobs were hard and tiring. Although she was not welcomed in that family before, she had never done these jobs before. Therefore, the first time she did it, she was really tired and hard, but she gritted her teeth and persevered.

She knew that it was difficult to survive in this world and she had no right to hide. Fortunately, although Huangshi Village was poor, the people here were not vicious. Most of them were simple and kind. As long as she helped, they would give her some food, and she survived like this.

"There's a war going on outside, and they need to recruit soldiers. I heard they're recruiting people directly on the street. Fortunately, our Huangshi Village is remote enough that we won't be conscripted." The old village chief was holding a small pipe in his hand, his face full of wrinkles and weather frost was full of sorrow. "This world! Alas, either you starve to death or you get beaten to death."

"Old village chief, is it true that no one will come to conscript men here? What if my big cow is captured? My family is old and young, and he is the only able-bodied man..." An aunt in her thirties nearby asked the old village chief anxiously, hoping to get a guarantee from him that no one in Huangshi Village would be conscripted.

But what can the old village chief guarantee? He sighed and said, "For now, they haven't caught us in Huangshi Village, but who knows what will happen in the future? If the war lasts for a few more years or even more than ten years, it's hard to say. Now we can only hope that there will be fewer wars in the future, and even if there are wars, not so many people will die."

"Village chief, where is the war going on now?" Shi Chu asked.

"I heard it happened in the north, in Heilongjiang Province. The fighting was very fierce. Many people escaped, but some couldn't. Many people died... All of them had to be paid for with human lives..." The old village chief knocked on his pipe and said with a sad face.

Shi Chu thought about it and realized that she was far away from there and couldn't help much, so she had to give up.

Xu Jing frowned and said, "It would be great if I could go to war and drive those damn devils out of our country. Unfortunately, I don't have the ability to do so. If I go to the battlefield, I might be the first to die..."

Then she suddenly seemed to remember something and looked up at Shi Chu. She herself was very weak, but Shi Chu was very strong. She had seen Shi Chu play those people around silently, but those people didn't even know it was her who did it and just thought they were unlucky and had an accident.

It is conceivable how strong Shi Chu's skills are. When Xu Jing thought of this, she became a little excited, and immediately looked at Shi Chu with shining eyes, as if she was expecting her to stand up.

Shi Chu noticed her gaze, looked over, saw the encouragement and excitement in her eyes, and frowned. What did she mean? Shi Chu didn't understand what she meant, so he looked at her indifferently.

Seeing her looking at him, Xu Jing thought she had given him permission to speak, so he said excitedly, "Shi Chu is so skilled, he will surely be able to kill a lot of devils on the battlefield!"

"I've only hunted, never killed the devils." Shi Chu was a little unhappy. What did she mean? "Besides, the prey don't have wooden cans, but the devils do, and they are very advanced."

Although Shi Chu has all kinds of advanced and powerful weapons in the space, any one of which can flatten the Japanese base, she cannot take them out, because interfering too much with the development of the world is equivalent to forcing things to grow, and the consequences are too great, the gains will not outweigh the losses. Shi Chu would be a fool to do this.

Of course, if she went to the battlefield as an ordinary person, it would not hinder the development of the world, but Shi Chu herself was not a great and upright person. She could support her own people behind the scenes to defend the country, such as providing money, medicine, and food, but she would not like to carry the wooden warehouse to the battlefield by herself.

"But you are so agile, you must have a greater chance of surviving on the battlefield than ordinary people!" Xu Jing blurted out.

"So what? You mean that since I'm agile and good at dodging bullets, I'm more likely to survive, so I should go to war, right?" Shi Chu looked at Xu Jing expressionlessly and asked.

Xu Jing saw her cold and ruthless eyes and shuddered. Her feverish brain finally calmed down and she hurriedly explained, "No, no, that's not what I meant. You misunderstood."
