"What do you do?"
"Boss, my mother is sick and is waiting for me to go to the city to get medicine."
"What the hell are you talking about? Do you have the money to go into town and get medicine?"
"Boss, I only have three dollars. Please have mercy on me! This is my mother's life-saving money. I kowtow to you!"
After saying that, the man knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the "yellow dog" at the city gate, hoping that he would show mercy and not take away the life-saving money.
"Fuck you, there's no point in you kowtow to me. Stop talking nonsense and take out the money. If you piss me off, I'll shoot you!"
The "yellow dogs" at the county town gate were the Imperial Army. Their sentries were responsible for checking whether the people entering the city were carrying weapons.
Taking advantage of this opportunity to extort money from the people is their basic operation.
The people queuing up were wearing clothes with patches on top of patches, and they all looked pale and thin. It was easy to imagine how difficult their lives were.
It just so happened that the Imperial Army was plundering the people, and even the little money they had to save their lives was taken away.
Jiang Cha was also in the long queue. She ran out of Shanghai, took a train and headed north to the vicinity of Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei.
There were simply too many things in her space, and it was useless to keep them there, so she caused a scene at the dock.
The Shanghai market is currently in a tense situation, and the wound on her face is too obvious, so she bought a train ticket to the north.
The other bases are a bit far away, and there are too many people watching over the old area. If a large amount of supplies is suddenly taken out, it will be difficult to explain where they came from.
Now is not like the future, when logistics are so developed that anything can be delivered to a place in a few days.
Such a batch of weapons and equipment, as well as a lot of gold and jewelry, could easily be stopped by bandits if transported by land.
So she just came here with supplies to try her luck. Who told her that she had no way to get to know the team?
The man with glasses was one of her own, but he couldn't possibly reveal his identity to her. After all, it was just two people who had just met by chance, so why would they start opening up to each other?
He dared to say that even Jiang Cha couldn't believe it. After all, the experienced old comrade would not even utter a word about torture and sacrifice.
How could he reveal his entire identity just for doing a small favor?
"What do you do?"
"I'm going into town to buy some delicious food. I've eaten all the snacks at home. I heard the donkey meat here is good, so I came here specifically to check it out."
With his chest puffed out and his chin held high, he looked like a spoiled brat.
"Stop talking nonsense and take out the money you have, or I'll kill you!"
"Yellow Dog" held a gun and looked at Jiang Cha with a fierce look on his face. They guarded the city gate every day, waiting to plunder some oil and water to save for drinking and having fun at night.
"Look at what this is! Are you blind? You dare to stop me? I'll go back and tell people to kill you!"
He shook the resident ID card in his hand, which was the one he exchanged for three big yellow croakers at the dock that day.
This certificate is only issued to the families of the Japanese devils, so her money was well spent that day!
"Who are you trying to scare? Resident ID cards? Ask the people in the queue behind you if they have one. Show them your good citizen ID cards, too—show them—"
"Young Master, look at my broken mouth. It is my blindness that has blocked your way. Please forgive my faults and come in!"
After saying that, he quickly opened the wooden fence blocking the road for Jiang Cha, and led the way in front like a servile person. His behavior was completely different from before.
"Young Master, if you keep walking along the main street, you'll see a restaurant with a particularly grand facade. Their donkey meat is truly exceptional!"
After that, he pointed to the location on the main street for her. His service attitude was very good.
If it weren't for the skin on his body, Jiang Cha would have wanted to give him a tip. No wonder they were called lackeys because of their fawning attitude.
With his hands behind his back and his chest puffed out, he walked in a square step towards the main street he pointed to.
So this is what it means to be a fox taking advantage of the tiger's might?
This is clearly our own country's territory, but the Japanese devils are allowed to do whatever they want. This is simply intolerable.
"Hey, how do you walk, old man? Don't you watch your step? Why are you howling on the street in broad daylight? It's unlucky. Get out of the way quickly. I'm not happy to see you like that!"
After saying that, she pushed the man with such force that he staggered.
"Master, please spare me! Master, please spare me! I really didn't mean to do that. It's just that my mother is seriously ill and all the money she has on her was stolen. I had no choice but to—"
The man with a haggard face had tears in his eyes and was bowing his head to apologize to her. No matter whose fault it was, ordinary people could not afford to offend anyone and could only bow their heads and admit their mistakes.
"I don't care whether you are rich or not. Who told you to block my way? Get out of here!"
After saying that, she pushed the man again and left in a dignified manner, completely ignoring what people were saying about her behind her back.
The man stroked his face with his rough big hands, then hunched over and quietly left.
It was not until he left the area that he excitedly touched the bulging purse in his arms. When the young master pushed him, he took the opportunity to stuff a purse into his arms.
It must be a heavy sum of money, and with this money he can buy medicine for his mother.
Who says rich people are bad?
Let him meet a kind-hearted person today. I scold him so as not to attract other people's attention and prevent thieves from targeting him.
The man went to the pharmacy to get the prescription and drank ginger tea in the restaurant.
There is dragon meat in the sky and donkey meat on the ground. What the ancients said was definitely right.
She had never tasted dragon meat, but she had experienced the taste of donkey meat.
The restaurant’s specialty is the donkey meat banquet, which includes donkey heads, donkey scorpions, donkey chops, donkey offal and even donkey skin, all stewed until they are sticky and glutinous.
There were some more popular parts left, but she didn't have the courage to taste them. They were too strong and not suitable for a girl like her.
