"I'm sure!" Xu Qiang was now afraid they would abandon the letter.
Looking at Lu Yi and Ye Ran, who still looked unconvinced, he hurriedly explained, "It's true!"
You don't know, but back then, Yun Baiyu and his mother lived here in an old house at the east end of the city. That house is still there!
There have never been many people in that area before, and it's probably almost deserted now.
One day, Yun Baiyu called me over and gave me a letter, saying that if I left this letter in the Bai family, they would never be able to recover.
When I took a look, it was all written in gibberish, so I asked him what the words were.
Yun Baiyu looked down on me at the time, saying that those were Japanese characters, which of course I couldn't understand.
Then he gave me a brief explanation and told me where it would be best to put the thing, and then went inside.
Back then, I would usually leave as soon as he entered the house.
But I got so angry at his attitude that day that I drank several cans of cold water. My stomach started to hurt, so I had to use the outhouse at his house for a while.
Their outhouse was right next to the entrance.
As I was squatting in the outhouse, I suddenly heard someone talking to Yun Baiyu.
They were speaking entirely in a language I couldn't understand, which piqued my interest. After listening carefully, I only caught one word: 'Baka!'
As soon as I heard that word, I knew this person must be Japanese.
Those were Japanese! At that time, when things were at their most sensitive, who would dare to deal with them?
But Yun Baiyu just swaggered into his house like that. I knew that if I had dared to make a sound, I would have been dead, so I hid in the outhouse.
That person chatted with Yun Baiyu for quite a while before leaving.
After that person left, Yun Baiyu stood in the courtyard talking to Baiyun, who was lying in the house.
Baiyun asked him what that person had said.
Yun Baiyu said... he said... Yamamoto!
Yamamoto sent word, and he immediately brought the items over.
The white clouds inside were overjoyed. Upon hearing this, they came out and asked when the items would arrive.
Yun Baiyu said he didn't know, but Yamamoto would have someone send it over.
Baiyun didn't ask any more questions. The two talked in the courtyard for a while, and then it seemed like someone came to call them, saying that someone seemed to be unwell again, and then the two hurriedly left.
I squatted in the outhouse for a long time until my legs went numb, and I didn't dare to come out until they had been gone for quite a while.
After I came out of the outhouse, I didn't dare to stay any longer. Just as I was about to leave, I saw the door being pushed open again. I was so scared that I immediately hid back in the outhouse.
I peeked through the crack and saw a man carrying a package. He quietly placed it in the main room and then left.
I was incredibly curious at the time. I thought that someone like Baiyun had seen all sorts of things, so why would she care about something that Yamamoto sent? I wanted to broaden my horizons.
So I quietly opened the package and looked inside. There were only two letters and an ordinary wooden doll.
I originally intended to leave it as is, but then I thought, if they dared to do things with the Japanese, who knows how ruthless they must be.
So, wanting to leave myself a way out, I steeled myself and stuffed those two letters into my pocket and left..."
After listening to Xu Qiang's words, Lu Yi and Ye Ran exchanged a glance. Yun Baiyu had truly been pecked in the eye by his pet sparrow...
They actually lost something so crucial...
Xu Qiang is their lucky star!
I can't believe such wonderful things still remain...
