Chapter 296: Thousand-year-old female corpse vs. the last warlord (17)
Without waiting for anyone to answer, Duan Yikai began to talk.
"He was born in a small, unknown mountain village in the south. The village was built in the mountains and was basically isolated from the outside world. The people in the village relied on self-sufficiency, and had lived like this for generations. As far as he could remember, he had been playing in the fields with his family. There was always a little sister who was born in the same month as him. The little sister was called little sister. She always stuck to him like a follower."
"When he was eight years old, the Japanese invaded from the coast. The peaceful life in the village was also broken. The Japanese were not bad, but they were not evil either. They always gathered together to drink and play cards, and occasionally they would catch the chickens, ducks and geese that the villagers raised on the hills. When they were drunk, they would sing songs he didn't understand and dance dances he couldn't understand. The villagers were afraid of them and warned the children not to get close to them or talk to them. He was different from other children in the village. He was brave. He thought these Japanese must be homesick. He would always lie on the stone wall with his little sister to watch them sing and dance. But his little sister was braver than him. When they were drunk, she would run over and hug their legs to ask for candy. His little sister always gave him all the candy she begged for."
"When he was fifteen, the second wave of Japanese invaders came. This wave of Japanese invaders were very cruel, with eyes flashing like those of hungry wolves. They killed anyone they saw and rubbed their hands with a smile when they saw a woman. A group of people surrounded the women in a corner, and then took off their yellow skins... It was in this year that he lost his mother and father. The younger sister was the same as him."
"The two of them who escaped the Japanese invaders' sharp knives relied on each other for warmth. They hid in a dark cave for many years and lived on ferns on rocks. When they were thirsty, they licked the dust and water accumulated on the rocks. After a long time, the living people from other villages ran to this place to set off firecrackers to celebrate, and they dared to come out and take a look. People from other villages told them that the Japanese invaders had surrendered the month before. He asked a lot of questions and realized that a year had passed. This year, they returned to the village, but the people in the village had been massacred by the Japanese invaders. They decided to leave this sad place."
"The world outside the village was not as simple as they imagined. They had just left the cage of the village and soon entered a new cage. They were sad and desperate to find that the outside world was chaotic and disordered. They also found that death was not scary, but living was scary. What was even scarier was that he and his little sister wanted to live."
"In the second year after leaving the village, he had changed many kinds of jobs. He had been an apprentice, a dishwasher, a newspaper seller, and a horseshoe nailer. During this period, he slept on the overpass with his little sister, ate the slop that was about to be dumped in the restaurant, and wore clothes that beggars didn't want. It was during this period that he and his little sister desperately discovered a fact. His little sister was becoming more and more clever. Because there were always many ruffians harassing them around them."
"After killing two ruffians who intended to do something bad to his little sister, he took the initiative to join the army and gave all the silver dollars he got to his little sister. He repeatedly told his little sister to return to the village with the money. When he had done something successful, he would ride back to the village on a horse to pick her up."
"In those chaotic times, wars were continuous. Ordinary people had to flee from one place to another. Soldiers had to obey the orders of their superiors and fight from one place to another. As a private, he was always bullied by other people in the barracks because he was thin and dull. The most memorable time for him was when this group of people buried him alone in an ice hole. It took a whole night before they pulled him out. Later, he developed cold hands and feet. Even in the hot summer, he had to wrap himself in thick fox fur."
"No one is naive forever. He gradually learned how to be scheming and how to please others. He took back the courage he had before to kill gangsters and went to the battlefield. In his eyes, those enemies were no longer scary. But every time he left the battlefield, he would always get himself a basin of water and wash his hands clean. Sometimes he would feel a little scared when he saw his reflection in the water. Because the reflection was always smiling."
"He gradually became famous. His top superior even specifically asked to see him. Before meeting this top superior, he always felt that the leader should be, he couldn't say specifically, but it should not be the person he saw in front of him. What was this person like? A short stature, a mouthful of yellow teeth, vulgar and reckless, and he would spit a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground between words. He thought the man in front of him was disgusting, and he felt disgusting too. Because he knew that if the man in front of him asked him to lick the thick phlegm on the ground, he would not refuse."
"He had second thoughts in September. It was also the third month since he became an officer. It was also the third month since he was going to the village to pick up his little sister. Why couldn't he go? Because he and several of his good brothers were trapped. The top leader specifically asked to kill them, the group of people who used to serve him, but because of the turmoil in the north, he had been hesitating whether to take action against them. How could he die when he hasn't gone to pick up his little sister? He led his men to fight to the death. That year, he was twenty-three years old."
"Then came the next two years of being unable to take care of himself. He had dozens of men under his command, and he not only had to stay alive, but also had to keep these dozens of men alive like him. Fortunately for him, he not only survived, but his team grew stronger and stronger."
"At the age of 25, he became a warlord. He became friends with the superior who once wanted to get rid of him. He could see the contempt in the eyes of his former superior, but he didn't care. He sent people back to the village to pick up his younger sister. They came back and told him that his younger sister had never returned to the village."
"In the third year of looking for his younger sister, he just got a tip that his younger sister might be in Jinwei City. Jinwei City, that was the territory of his former superior, now 'brother'. If he openly led his troops into the city, it would inevitably cause panic. So he humbly handed a letter to his former superior, now 'brother', asking him to find an old friend for him."
"Later, he finally found his little sister. He happily dressed her up and put on the most expensive Western wedding dress for her. Although half of her face was bitten off by a wild dog and the area covered by her clothes was full of scars, she was still so beautiful in his heart. He also knew that in the years after he joined the army, she had been harassed by the gangsters before, and had no choice but to flee with the refugees and became a flower girl in Jinwei City."
