Chapter 1503 Fairies in War (Second update, please subscribe)
War brings death and pain, but also inadvertently changes the fate of many people.
During the war, men went to fight, but what about women?
A woman can become a bride overnight, or a widow overnight.
However, in many cases, women are struggling for life.
In order to make a living, Juliet came to her aunt's house, but the environment at her aunt's house was not very good. In order to make a living, they could only start a small business - selling pies.
Who can I sell the pie to?
Obviously, they were not ordinary people without any money, but only those Ming people. As a result, dozens of Ming soldiers in green military uniforms would always appear in the front yard of old Willy's house, waiting for the two aunts to bake the pies.
As for Old Willy, he would drive an old truck to the Ming army camp every day to sell cakes, pies and bread. Business was surprisingly good. After all, for most Ming soldiers, they had no way to spend money - at most they could go to bars and brothels, but they didn't spend much.
Of course, apart from that, only snacks like pies can attract the soldiers' attention.
Although the profit was only one or two dollars a day, in Ellie's opinion, the profit was still considerable. She even decided to open a bakery in the city when she made more money.
Unlike Aunt Ellie, Juliet felt it was a torture every time she sold things to the Ming people, or so she said.
"I would rather starve than do this kind of business with the Ming people."
She even made it a point to look contemptuous at Ming soldiers whenever she met them. In short, she ignored them to show her contempt.
Of course, this was all she could do, even though it would affect business. But Juliet could see that the Ming soldiers didn't seem to care about it. They didn't even tell dirty jokes to the women like the American soldiers did, regardless of their status as ladies.
In comparison, these Ming soldiers are undoubtedly more gentlemanly.
Of course, their gentleman had nothing to do with Juliet. For Miss Juliet, what she needed was to express her resistance and loyalty to the federal government in this way!
Any sacrifice, even if it means selling two fewer pies a day, is acceptable.
Of course, he couldn't sell too little or too much, after all, people need to eat. Of course, he would never try to please the Ming devils like those cheap women did.
Now there are many women who shamelessly become mistresses of those invaders. They are just like those surrendered soldiers, simply shameless.
How can they compare to me?
Even now, I still resist stubbornly - in my own way.
Once again, while showing no regard for the Ming soldiers and admiring her own patriotism in her heart, Juliet looked at the Ming soldiers talking and laughing in the yard, and she once again missed her only brother.
"Billy, my brother, how are you now? Are you in any danger? God bless you, you must survive safely..."
Her brother Billy joined the guerrillas after the city fell, and now no one knows where he is, or even whether he is dead or alive.
Just then, Juliet saw two "black dogs" in black uniforms approaching.
Black Dog is the security team.
"Excuse me, are you Miss Juliet?"
The leading black dog walked forward, touched the brim of his hat towards Juliet, and said.
"Hello, Miss Juliet, I am Captain Justin from the Security Team, and I have something to talk to you about."
"We have nothing to discuss, sir."
Juliet said unhappily.
Justin said, ignoring the contempt in the woman's eyes.
"Miss, I came here specifically to talk to you about your brother, Billy. I believe you would be very happy to talk to us."
…
As for Justin, he is undoubtedly one of the lucky ones, at least he thinks so.
"If there were no empire, I, Justin, would be a nobody! It is the empire that gave me everything..."
Therefore, in Justin's view, serving the empire and helping it win the war is his only choice to retain power, and even his only choice to survive.
He could feel what was behind people's awed eyes; it was hostility!
Yes, he was also their enemy, and of course they also despised and looked down on him. In the eyes of many people, he, Justin, was still the Irish boy that everyone looked down on.
Anyone who has tasted the beauty of power will not give it up, even if it is a very small amount of power. In order to grasp or gain more power, people will sometimes do anything.
"Where are you taking me?"
In the dark corridor, Juliet looked at Justin nervously.
"Take you to see your brother."
Soon, they arrived at an interrogation room. As soon as she entered, Juliet saw a man tied to a rack. He was tied there with his head down, and his body was covered with scars and blood. When she saw him, Juliet's heart suddenly tightened, and she shouted nervously and tentatively.
"Billy..."
Although he didn't answer her, Juliet ran over and raised the man's head, and a familiar look came into her eyes.
"Billy, Billy, ..."
While calling her brother's name, Juliet tried to put him down.
"Put him down, put him down, you devils..."
Justin asked, ignoring the woman's curses.
"Did he confess?"
"Before I could make a move, I fainted again."
Justin sneered at his men's answer.
"Pull that woman away and throw a bucket of water!"
After a bucket of water was poured, Billy woke up. He heard his sister's voice and saw her.
"Sister, sister, why are you here..."
"Why is she here..."
Justin said, staring at Billy who had just woken up.
"She is your weak spot, so of course I invited her."
"Billy, don't cooperate with them, they can't...ah..."
Before Juliet could finish her words, she felt someone grabbing her hair, and the pain on her scalp almost made her cry.
"Let me go, let me go, you devil..."
Justin, who was holding the woman, ignored Juliet's struggles and Billy's shouting.
"Billy, you have two choices now. One is to reveal the location of your camp, and the other is that I will kill your sister right now!"
After saying that, Justin pointed the gun directly at Juliet. Juliet, who was still struggling, suddenly stopped moving. She looked at the black muzzle of the gun in horror. She seemed very strong, but she felt that all her courage had disappeared. She looked at the muzzle of the gun in horror and murmured and cried.
"No, don't kill me, please, please, no, don't kill me, I, I..."
"Whether I kill you or not depends on your brother!"
Justin said as he pulled the trigger on his pistol and hammered it, then stared coldly at the woman who had originally looked down on him. Woman, isn't she very brave? Where is her courage now?
“Sister, sister…”
Juliet cried to her brother.
"Billy, save me, please, save me..."
