I want to be a good person

Sitting on the dirt ridge by the roadside, the excitement and passion of the emergency faded away, leaving behind muscle soreness and deep fatigue, as well as a hint of fear and dread.

We have to take action in a busy city because the danger on the street is far less than that in the Special High Police or the Military Police Headquarters. Once you are in the wolf's mouth, the difficulty is no less than escaping from a secret room.

The bullet scars and wounds on your body are inexplicable. Once you are deemed suspicious, you basically cannot survive. It is a happy thing to be able to die quickly and without any problems.

Only people with strong faith can endure torture, so I'd better forget it.

The cruelty and viciousness of the Japanese invaders cannot be described in words. Having experienced it personally, I am no longer able to speak about it.

I repaid evil with kindness, but the Japanese denied history and refused to reflect on themselves. To put it in common parlance, they were wrong. At least you should have pointed it out, but you refused to say anything and treated me like a distinguished guest without any punishment. Was that wrong or not?

Anyone would know how to choose, let alone a ghost!

Zhang Aiguo didn't want to fight back. He could no longer endure it. The two sides fought hastily. The Chicago typewriter was indeed easy to use. No wonder it was the favorite of American gangsters and could suppress the firepower of the US police on the streets.

Thanks to the makeup, all the clothes worn in the incident are kept to one side and in principle will not be worn a second time.

A bag of strong-flavored dry tobacco can relieve and numb restless thoughts, and something will drift away in the wind as the smoke is exhaled.

After finishing puffing away smoke, he felt completely relaxed. He knocked the pipe against the sole of his shoe to clean it, then blew on the mouthpiece, rolled the tobacco bag around the pipe, and inserted it into the cloth belt wrapped around his waist.

He carried the bamboo basket and applied some black ointment on his face and neck.

The farmers are all dark-skinned, with their swarthy faces full of the hardships and vicissitudes of life. They also have a very obvious feature: yellow teeth.

In addition to smoking, there is also not brushing teeth.

Toothbrushes and toothpowder are really non-essential items for the general public. Nothing is more important than filling your stomach. No matter how good your teeth are, it would be a waste if you don't have food.

When he smiles, Zhang Aiguo has very white teeth. The distinction between people's classes can be seen from the small details, and there are loopholes everywhere without even noticing.

Toothbrushes in the Republic of China are different from plastic toothbrushes produced by industrial manufacturers. Most of them are handmade from cow bones and other bones. There are three rows of small holes on the brushing area, and three rows of pig bristles are embedded in the holes. The tooth powder in the glass bottle is light yellow and has a faint fragrance.

Since the Qin and Han dynasties, the ancients have had written records of dental care. The Yuan Dynasty poet Guo Yu once wrote: "The toothbrush from Nanzhou was sent to me on my first day. It is worth a gold coin to remove dirt and troubles."

However, just like books, it is not something that ordinary people can own, at least those from poor families.

Recalling what I saw when I walked through Zhabei City, there were patches of rolling dragons on both sides of the Suzhou River, densely packed and pitifully low, with only an occasional tin bucket.

The colorful neon lights, glamorous dancers, and a variety of flavors of drinks at the Paramount are like heaven on one side and hell on the other.

It is unrealistic to walk to Jiangyin, which is more than 150 kilometers, using a measuring stick.

The Ford Y model car cannot be driven. Although the license plate has been removed, it is a bit difficult to be bothered by its dirty car attributes and the taxes it will be charged on the road.

After thinking for a long time, he took out a relatively small Mongolian horse to use as a draft horse, and hurriedly harnessed it to the cart. He promised the woman that he would keep the black-headed donkey. Some small things can be kept by their words.

Riding a horse hurts the buttocks and inner thighs and is not suitable for long-distance travel.

The Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas are Chiang Kai-shek's base. The road construction and infrastructure there are better than in the northern regions, so life there is relatively better.

"Jiangsu and Zhejiang" in the natural geographical scope refers to the area between the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the Qiantang River. It extends to the sea in the east and to the southwest of Anhui and the northeastern end of Jiangxi in the west. The Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the Republic of China are Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai.

Zhang Aiguo sat in the carriage and passed through the village. He slowly drew conclusions from the clothes and lively faces of passers-by.

Occasionally, there are buffaloes grazing in the paddy fields, and the people can at least solve the problem of food and clothing.

The small wooden boats in the river were rowing, some were using poles, and some were casting nets to catch fish.

The road is winding and the water town is well-deserved of its reputation. The people are outstanding and the scenery is beautiful. The beauty of the mountains is completely different from the steepness of the north.

At a roadside tea stall in the distance, Zhang Aiguo stopped the carriage, prepared to drink some hot water and let the horses rest for a while.

"Bring me some tea."

"okay."

The stall owner took out a white porcelain bowl and placed it on the table. He took out a little tea leaves from the tea can on the side and poured hot water from the thermos into it.

Chat while working.

"Are the guests from out of town?"

"Yes, I'm from northern Jiangsu. I'm not asked by the master to go to Jiangyin to pick up the goods for the master."

"Where did it come from?"

"Um"

Zhang Aiguo was surprised when he heard this and wondered why they were still questioning him.

Oh, the baojia system has been implemented, and Jiangxi was the first to implement it. This led to the effect of the fifth encirclement and suppression campaign, which, combined with three parts military and seven parts politics, forced the Red Army to shift its strategy.

“Zhabei.”

"Shanghai is great, a great place to live."

Damn, there is a witty tone in his words.

"They are all rolling dragons, they can't block the wind or rain. It's okay in winter, but it's really painful when it rains in summer."

"I heard it's quite spacious?"

"Spacious? About one meter high, with thatched grass on bamboo strips, it's a nest for people to live in."

Zhang Aiguo said unhappily.

“Ah, life is not easy.”

The stall owner's words were purely polite, but he is just picking on people's scars.

Why should the poor make things difficult for the poor!

"The owner gave me some extra money before I left. I saw that you had rice cakes and flatbreads on your stall."

"Would you like some leftovers from this morning, sir?"

"Please heat up the rice for me. This is the Four Heavenly Kings. If the host wasn't so generous, I wouldn't be willing to eat it on weekdays."

"Hold on."

Watch the stall owner start the pot.

I paid the bill and bought some pancakes, the one with sesame seeds was salty, and the one without sesame seeds was sweet.

The tea stall was left behind after many twists and turns.

The wind was damp and seeped into the cracks between my bones, making me feel extremely uncomfortable.

The sky was blue. After an unknown amount of time, a few white clouds held back the sun that was about to go home, and forced it to give a farewell performance.

The sun emitted its last rays of light, baking the clouds into a blazing glow.

The sunset is infinitely good, just near dusk.

Finding a place to stay was put on the agenda. Sleeping in the wilderness was obviously not a good option, so we could only grit our teeth and move forward.

In the distance, a basket with a red cloth strip tied to a tall wooden pole was visible. It became clearer as we got closer.

It was a cover, the cover of an inn.

There is also a cloth curtain on the pole, which is very rough and has lost its original color due to wind and sun.

"Chen's Horse and Carriage Inn"

Finally finding a place to rest, the horse became excited, sensing its owner's mood.

The Mongolian horse's mane on the top of its head and neck is neatly trimmed and tied with red tassels. The red copper bell tied around its neck sounds deep and distant. The show must be done to perfection.

An errand boy came out to greet him.

"Sir, please come inside."

When I call you sir, I don't mean to take myself as sir. It's just a colloquial title of respect, just like when taking photos in the 1960s and 1970s, people would put two pens in their upper left pocket and hold a rolled-up book in their hands, which showed that they were cultured.

"It's not easy to find a place to stop."

"Sir, what you mean is that the south has abundant water systems, so there are few inns for merchants who travel by ship, while the north has many inns for land transportation."

"But it was fate that I was able to find our store."

"Please come in and take a rest."
