Chapter 444

In the dead of night, the road was empty.

It was dark near and far, and low Japanese wooden houses could be seen, stretching ahead and undulating in the night.

This kind of wooden house is called Nagaya, which is a good material to start a fire. In the history of Japan, there were many big fires that burned several towns in a row, but the Japanese people still made nagaya because it was cheap.

The poor man’s longhouse and Yamamoto’s mansion were not on the same street, and there was a big empty space between them, which made Zhu Yuyan almost lost her way.

Because there was no streetlight, for fuck’s sake!

It was all dark!

No street lights, no radar or map.

So she is now driving blindly based on her intuition.

Anyway, she remembers which direction her house is in and where she entered the Japanese Concession, but the exact road, when it gets dark, the road looks completely different.

By the time she got to the Longhouse area she knew she was going the wrong way.

It was quite normal!

The Japanese Concession was also quite complicated. At that time, when the Japanese came to ask for the Concession, and after it was allocated to them, the Japanese bulldozed a lot of the streets, drove out all the Chinese who lived here, and then built a lot of their own buildings. A large number of Japanese immigrants also came at this time.

Japanese immigrants were divided into ordinary Japanese, rich Japanese, and poor Japanese.

Ordinary Japanese built their own houses, poor Japanese lived on the streets, and rich Japanese also built their own houses, so the neighborhood could be roughly divided into three areas.

Brick buildings: Japanese intellectuals, Japanese elite, and Japanese businessmen.

Wooden buildings, longhouses: ordinary Japanese, craftsmen, small traders, brothels.

Big houses: Yamamoto and his kind.

Although in the era Zhu Yuyan was born, Japanese craftsmen had blown their bull all over the world, craftsmanship and all, as if they were famous. But here, Japan is the world of machines, craftsmen have long been reduced to a position similar to that of beggars.

Zhu Yuyan used to go into the Japanese Concession, never to the longhouse here.

So when I saw the long house, I know that I went wrong.

Wrong way also can not help, can only continue to walk.

The road of Longhouse is not flat, keep driving.

The road to the Longhouse is too narrow, and along the way, she bumped into wooden doors and bars, and continued to drive.

With all this noise, she suspected that even if the pursuers didn’t react now, it would be easy to find them afterward.

That would have been bad enough.

But worse was yet to come.

The car wasn’t moving.

It ran out of gas!

Zhu Yuyan was so angry that she cursed furiously, but there was no way, speaking of which Yamamoto was also quite smart, the car just added a little bit of gas, so that even if someone grabbed the car and fled, they would still have to lie down on the halfway point, look at this brain, it’s enough to be able to do.

Luckily, he is already dead!

Zhu Yuyan got out of the car, helped Jin Juli down and continued to escape.

She looked up from time to time to identify the direction, can not care about whether there is a pursuer behind her.

But listening to the movement should not be yet.

I don’t know if the Japanese haven’t realized that Yamamoto is already dead.

But it was hard to say how much longer they could escape.

And she went the wrong way. So that even if Mr. Su found over, the two of them would most likely miss.

Jinjuri just stayed silent as she was pulled forward to run.

She didn’t speak, even her breathing was put very softly.

Until Zhu Yuyan realizes that her movements are a little too slow, she remembers that she still has injuries on her body and holds her up and asks, “Is it that you can’t walk anymore?”

She looked around, wanting to see if there was anything in this neighborhood that could be used as a substitute for walking, or else she could pick up a wooden stick to use as a crutch.

She helped Jin Julie walk another half a block and realized that the shoes on her feet ran out, both feet were shoeless, one even had no socks.

Zhu Yuyan helped her to the wall and let her sit down to take a rest, she was also huffing and puffing and breathing heavily, the heart in her chest was beating so hard that it was about to pop out.

She went to look around and found a broom, bringing it over for Jin Juli to use as a crutch.

Then she took off her own shoes again, ready to put them on Jinjuri.

She still had her socks anyway.

When she grabbed Jinjuri’s foot to put her shoes on, she felt a handful of blood, slippery and smelling of blood.

She had thought it was an abraded foot, and by the time she had picked the person up and continued walking, the moon moved over and shone on the ground.

There was a dark colored wet mark on the land.

Zhu Yuyan snapped to realization!

The child in Jin Juli’s stomach!

“Are you going to give birth? How many months?”

Zhu Yuyan couldn’t count herself, she hurriedly recalled in her mind, four or five months? No, it should be six or seven months!

A six or seven month old child has greatly?

Can it be born naturally?

She supported Jin Julie and made her sit down again.

How to do?

What should I do?

She was sweating her head off.

“Are you in pain? How long have you been in pain?”

Zhu Yu Yan went to touch Jin Juli’s hand, her hand had been shaking, the two had been holding hands to escape, her hand was wet and cold.

She went to feel her pulse again, she couldn’t feel it on her hand, her heart was uncertain now, she went to feel the side of her neck, and hastily counted it, around one hundred and five, only more or less.

She went to feel her stomach again – she couldn’t feel it!

School health classes only taught injections, feeding, wrapping wounds, determining if they were dead or alive, not delivering babies!

Julie Kim’s hand tugged at her.

She hurried over, “What’s wrong? Does it hurt? Does it hurt a lot? Are you dizzy? How does it feel?”

Jinjuri lifted her face, pale and sweaty.

She was smiling.

Laughing, she said softly, “The baby is going to fall out.”

Zhu Yuyan froze.

Jin Juli shook her hand, smiling happily and contentedly, as if she had put down a huge stone.

“The child is going to fall, it can’t be born. Haha …… haha ……”

Zhu Yuyan wrapped her arms around her and comforted her, “Don’t worry, this child is definitely dead. With so many things going on, the adults are not well, how can this little thing be well? It’s definitely gone.”

Jin Juli hugged her and kept nodding, “Uh-huh, uh-huh!”

Zhu Yu Yan: “I’ll find a place for you, you pull it out, just like poop, we’ll leave after that.”

Jin Juli hugged her stomach, “Hahaha, good! Good!”

She was sure her stomach was hurting, it was hurting so much.

Zhu Yuyan stood up and looked around.

This was still the longhouse, but the houses in this neighborhood had become much sparser, unlike in front where they were all connected.

They should have almost run out of this area, this was the edge.

Maybe a little further on would be the Chinese place.

But now Jinjuri couldn’t move a step.

There was no Japanese house where they had stopped, there was one in the distance, but surely they couldn’t run there for help.

It would be nice if there was a shed or something nearby.

She looked around, afraid to run too far.

It was all land, the Japanese Concession hadn’t built roads here.

There were fields next to it, pieces of half-and-half-cultivated land with half-beds of greens and whatnot.

The terrain is uneven, so you can’t see far in the distance because of the highs and lows.

The weeds were thick, making the place even more indistinguishable in the dark.

At that moment, a man came over.

He came quietly.

Most likely, he was a Japanese drifter who lived nearby.

Living near the longhouse, without a house of their own, they were the poorest part of the poor Japanese. They may do some hired labor and work as hard laborers during the day, but they are also hooligans, thieves, and robbers.

Whenever there was an opportunity, they would transform themselves into bad guys.

Zhu Yuyan had a gun in her small carry bag, but after being left behind by Yamamoto Strong, the gun was taken away.

She grabbed the broomstick and stood in front of Jin Juli.

As long as this person who came here didn’t have a gun in his hand, she might not lose.

Mr. So taught her fencing, for which she paid the price of the rumor that “Mr. So was beaten to death by Mrs. So”.

For a long time, the grapevine at Mr. Su’s house was down.

That man must have been planning to come and rob the house.

He stood in the darkness not far away, there was no moon, it was hard to see who was coming, but there was only one person.

Zhu Yuyan thought for a moment and said in English, “If you come near, I will kill you.”

It was likely that this man could not understand English, but he must have understood that it was foreign language. Japanese soldiers were not afraid of foreigners, but Japanese civilians were still quite afraid of foreigners.

The man still slowly walked over.

Zhu Yuyan made an instant decision, holding the broom flat and stabbing upwards, striking the man’s head at once.

–He didn’t dodge?

Starved? No strength?

She pursued the attack, and continued to hit the head with the broom.

The man ate several strikes in a row, held his head, and whispered, “Second Miss, Second Miss, it’s me.”

“It’s me.”

Zhu Yuyan heard his voice before he stopped hitting and backed away, staring at the man.

He was wearing a tattered and torn outfit, and underneath it wasn’t even pants, but a crotch cloth.

He looked like a Japanese beggar.

But when he looked up, he turned out to be Yu Yingda, whom he had met only a few days before.

He had been beaten by her and his face was covered in bloody channels and bruises and reds.

Yu Yingda’s expression was eager for her to believe him, “Second Miss, it’s me, Yu Yingda, do you remember?”

Zhu Yuyan didn’t believe so easily.

The main reason was that this person, had only appeared a while ago.

This looked too much like a bureau.

But …… what happened tonight was not planned. It was all improvised.

Even her escape here was improvised.

If someone could really calculate that she would flee tonight and would also flee here, then it could truly be called Zhuge Liang in the world.

Zhu Yuyan backed away, “Mr. Yu.”

She didn’t continue to fight, but she also didn’t intend to dwell on him much, “Mr. Yu, I won’t ask you why you’re still in the city and haven’t left. I have no time to worry about others right now, so please make it easy for Mr. Yu.”

She raised her chin, signaling Yu Yingda to go back wherever he came from.

Yu Yingda didn’t go, he looked behind her and said to her, “Second Miss, I’ve set up a shed over there and I’m staying there. This lady, you can ask her to go to my shed, she is like this, it is better, I see her like …… giving birth soon.”

He tilted his head and looked at Zhu Yuyan, “Second Miss, I have no ill intentions. There’s still food in my shed, and there’s also the water I fetched back today. Second Miss, let me help you, I can help you!”

–He had always, always wanted to prove that he was able to help the Zhu family!
