War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 57: No Way Back (Thanks to 'Sir, You Have Two Aces' for 500 Rewards)

In the dilapidated mountain village, pieces of broken wood were used to build fire racks, and the corpses were placed in rows of four. When night fell, the four fire racks were lit at the same time, like a bonfire, surrounding Xu Chaoyang and others in the middle.

call.

At the moment when the burning corpse oil dripped, the flame on one of the fire racks suddenly rose. Amid the crackling sound of the burning firewood, Xu Chaoyang sat on a wooden stake and said this...

"You guys, go home. I'll have someone take you down the mountain after daybreak."

Wow.

Xu Chaoyang took out a dozen silver dollars and handed them to the woman next to him in the firelight.

This was the latest find they had found from the corpse.

The woman who had been watching the group of men collecting corpses since the afternoon and had only just put on the bandit's cotton pants, looked at the strange man who handed her the money, suddenly lowered her head and sobbed.

“Hmph…ah~~”

The crying sounds seemed to be contagious, making all the women fall into sadness. Some of these women walked out of the wooden house, while others hid in the wooden house and dared not move. There were six women in total, and one of them was about to give birth.

When they started crying, Qu Yong got panicked. He showed an unhappy expression and said the most concerned words: "Why are you crying? My eldest brother wants you to go down the mountain at dawn, not to keep you as his mistresses. You can go home now. Do you understand?"

The woman who cried first responded: "There's no going back..."

Yu Minghao, a young man who had not experienced much in life, asked, "Why can't you go back? Don't you have money?"

Xu Chaoyang pressed down on Yu Minghao's hand and stopped him from asking further questions.

Yu Minghao doesn’t understand, but he can’t possibly not understand, right?

Any woman who was abducted by bandits, even if she was from a wealthy family, would inevitably be criticized when she returned. The spit from the whole village would be enough to drown her!

This is not the era of Xu Chaoyang. At least back then, if you were accused of adultery, you could still sue, and at least you could be comforted psychologically. But now? You have to hold on. If you dare to respond, someone will point at your nose and scold you for being unfaithful to your wife. Someone will also say, "Why didn't that bandit kidnap other people's women, but kidnapped you!"

All kinds of unpleasant words will come like a tsunami. Even if you hang yourself because of these things, someone will scold you: "See, it's her own fault, right? Otherwise, why would she die!"

"Then what are you going to do?"

Xu Chaoyang didn't ask any more questions and just looked at these women.

All the women fell into silence. One of them turned her head and looked at Xu Chaoyang thoughtfully: "Boss, otherwise, just leave us here..."

When she said this, her voice was as soft as a mosquito, barely audible.

There is no need to investigate what the words imply.

The other woman avoided the firelight, as if she could only say these words in a dark world: "You are all grown men. You need someone to take care of you when you wash and rinse your clothes on weekdays. When it gets dark... you also need someone to accompany you..."

This is the way of the world...

This damn world...

In this world where people are ignorant and condemned by God, people of good character have begun to be forced into prostitution, because being a prostitute allows them to survive.

Xu Chaoyang fell silent. He was a military commander. If you asked him to lead troops to fight and seize positions, he would do it. He would also hold his ground and fight to the death. What he longed for was to die on the battlefield.
But if you give him a group of women, he really won't be able to do it!

How should this thing be arranged?
"Big brother!"

"Shut up!"

When Qu Yong shouted the word "big brother" to Xu Chaoyang, except Xu Chaoyang, the other three people including Tong Meng scolded Qu Yong together.

Xu Chaoyang could only decline politely and said, "We are here to establish our own group, not to form a troupe to perform a play..."

But before he finished speaking, a woman retorted: "Li Luanzi doesn't want women?"

Liu Gener really couldn't hold it in any longer and responded, "We have to fight. Our eldest brother hates the Japanese. Who knows, we might fight the Japanese someday. You women..." He no longer called him company commander, but used the underworld name instead.

call.

The flames on the fire rack trembled and rose again, as if breaking the silence when no one knew what to say.

woman.

They would quickly lose their status in a war, not to mention that this was an era when women had little status.

"Brother... shall we follow you to fight the devils?"

"You teach us how to shoot, and we follow you to the battlefield. As long as you don't let us go back, we'll do anything."

"Anything is fine..."

Yu Minghao, Liu Gener, Qu Yong, and Tong Meng all looked at Xu Chaoyang at the same time. The women seemed to know who was the big and small king and looked over. When all eyes were focused on Xu Chaoyang, he slowly said, "We'll talk about it tomorrow. Let's take a rest first."

indecisive?

K.

But what Xu Chaoyang was considering was not humanity, but the cruelest war!
If one day, this group of people and the Japanese become famous, and these men send their families away, what about these women?

The Japanese captured the families of these women and stood at the foot of the mountain. What should they do then?
By then, the battlefield will be filled with crying and wailing, so what’s the point of talking about military morale!
Xu Chaoyang doesn't look down on women, but the battlefield is the battlefield.

Several women turned and walked into the wooden house, mumbling something. At this time, Xu Chaoyang stood up and said, "Do you remember the ditch when we came here?"

Qu Yong asked in confusion: "Remember, what?"

"bath."

The four of them were all stunned.

"Brother, are you going to be the groom?"

Snapped!
Xu Chaoyang was so angry that he slapped Qu Yong on the forehead: "You just moved the corpses, don't you know? What diseases do these bandits have? Do you know or do I know?"

"I've got you covered. Can you cure it or can I?"

"Remember this clearly. From now on, you must take a shower not only today, but every three days. In addition, you must wash your face, brush your teeth, and wash your feet every day."

Liu Gener said, "Brother, I don't need it, right? I am born under the element of fire and I am afraid of water!"

"Stop talking nonsense. If you take off your shoes, you won't be able to be around anyone. Don't say you are afraid of water. Even if you dissolve in water, you still have to wash them off."

Xu Chaoyang didn't know how to explain to them how important personal hygiene was in war, but since he had this nest, he had to establish some rules.

Washing feet, taking a bath, and personal hygiene can help people recover faster after being injured, and can also minimize non-combat casualties when there are more people in the village.

"Let's go."

Tong Meng was the first to stand up.

Xu Chaoyang responded without much haste: "Wait a moment."

"What are you waiting for?"

"After all the bodies are burned, collect them all together."
