Act Two: The So-called Bandit Suppression
"Fortunately, I escaped...that kind of ghost place...fortunately I don't have to go again..."
Roger was lying on the modern, soft and comfortable bed in the single room of a three-star hotel, staring at a pair of dead fish eyes, constantly tossing and turning, and the faces of the villagers were always hovering in his mind. As soon as he closed his eyes, his face would entangle like a ghost, tortured him as if he was useless.
As a pharmacy graduate, Roger did a lot of animal experiments. His first anatomy class was to remove the little mouse from eight pieces and then put pieces of parts in his hands, and roll the list one by one like serving. Even the dead bodies have seen a lot of dead people, and he has long been used to bloody scenes. However, he had never thought about it when witnessing the shooting at close range or shooting innocent people. In addition, he was completely unprepared before, and the sudden shock directly defeated his spiritual defense line.
Although it is no longer surprising to the dark information in society, and various suicides, murders, demolitions and stolen demolitions are common, how could such a blatant shooting of innocent civilians happen? Roger was completely unacceptable for a moment.
At that time, after realizing that he had actually traveled through time, Roger's mind exploded, his thoughts were blank, he was confused, and he almost unconsciously finished taking the photos.
After taking photos, dealing with the bodies, and dispersing the villagers, it was already completely dark, so it was naturally inconvenient to rush to travel. Moreover, the old men from Qiuba were too lazy to go on the night road. The military camp was not as good as them, so why were they in a hurry to go back? More importantly, there were many "welfares" to get when sleeping in the village!
Since we have identified this "bandits" in Zhangjia Village and killed five "bandits" from the village, there is no doubt that there are naturally many "stolen goods" in the things in this village.
As the eight-family coalition army of Hainan government forces (the name of the Hainan warlord faction army) overthrew a nest of thieves, so the stolen goods naturally have to be rewarded according to the current rules - reward soldiers. Without this little bit of oil and water, who would be willing to spend that effort to suppress any bandits!
So, after shooting the "bandits", the soldiers were familiar with the rules and plundered all the living things in the "bandits" village. Judging from the quick posture, it was obvious that they had been doing this for more than a year or two.
Although Zhangjia Village is considered a big village, it is quite poor because it relies on Wuzhishan, with more mountains and few fertile land.
Chen Fengqi's dog legs scraped all over the village and didn't make many chickens and ducks. As for pigs, there were even fewer ones, only six. They were quite conscientious and left behind the only two buffaloes in the village. They did not kill them all, leaving a thought for the villagers.
After the "stolen goods" were plundered, the dogs set up a stove at the entrance of the village and prepared to have a good tooth sacrifice to reward themselves who worked hard in "suppressing bandits".
Roger didn't want to touch the stolen food, but Chen Fengqi repeatedly advised him but refused, so he had to bite the bullet and take a chicken leg and sit in the circle of the officers with Chen Fengqi.
"Brother Chen, what are you doing? What bandits are you suppressing? Do you still need to take photos?" Fighting against the disgust and fear of the murderer, Roger handed Chen Fengqi the wine pot he brought from Modern Times, chatted with him, trying to figure out what was going on and what was going on now.
"You don't know that!? Since you don't know what to do here?" Chen Fengqi took the wine pot and took a sip, and looked at Roger strangely, "Hey, what kind of wine is yours, it tastes good!"
"Since Brother Chen likes it, let's drink it. I have just returned to China. In the past few days, I haven't had much cash on my face, so I found this photography errand to get some money to help me first, so I didn't ask much about what was going on."
"Hey... we also know that you who have stayed abroad and drank foreign ink may not be able to stand our behavior, but, aren't this all the people who are forced to do it?" As he said that, Chen Fengqi took another sip of wine and began to pour bitterness.
From the information Chen Fengqi revealed intermittently, Roger finally figured out the current situation and knew why they shot civilians.
It was June 1924. Feng Zhuoshu, the American pastor of Jiaji Christian Church in Qiongdong County, Qiongya (Hainan), was killed by bandits who fled into the church. After learning about it, the United States attacked Deng Benyin, the warlord leader of Qiongya, demanded severe punishment of the murderer and demanded compensation of 1 million yuan. Naturally, no one wanted to give the money. Besides, it was impossible to raise so much for a while, but severe punishment of the murderer was easier to deal with. In order to deal with the Americans, Deng Benyin sent Chen Fengqi to "clear the countryside" to investigate the murderer, but the bandits hid.
The mountains were full of swaying around, which was difficult to catch, and the Americans were forced to force them. Therefore, in order to give the Americans an explanation, Chen Fengqi played the old trick of "killing good people and taking credit", and took a brigade to Qiongdong, Lehui, Wanning, Wenchang, Anding and other counties, killed more than 180 civilians, burned more than 50 houses, and found some reporters to take photos as evidence of "sweeping bandits", and then prepared to submit a service to the Americans. When Roger bumped into them, it was the last action of Qingxiang.
After Chen Fengqi and his friends had enough food and drink, they drove the villagers from their homes to the entrance of the village to clear the mess of the land. Then the group of military bandits who were even more bandits got into the villagers' houses and fell asleep. Of course, they would inevitably search in the room before formally going to bed. If they met a village girl who was pleasing to her, they might have to sleep later.
Since Chen Fengqi thought Roger was a second-aggressive man, he treated him very well and gave him a single room, but this made Roger even more frightened - the owner of the house was one of the villagers who had just been shot!
All night, as long as Roger closed his eyes, he could see the faces of the villagers who died with his eyes open! Even the sound of the wind blowing the window paper sounded like a ghost cry at this time. The vague cry of the raped village girls kept hitting Roger's ears, scaring him so much that he didn't dare to sleep at all. Even if he was extremely sleepy and closed his eyes, he would definitely be awakened by a nightmare within five minutes!
After suffering all night, he finally survived until the next day as soon as the daylight was dawn. Roger really didn't want to deal with these people, so he lied that he still had something to do and wanted to leave the team and would not go back to the county town with Chen Fengqi and the others.
Because Chen Fengqi mistakenly believed that Roger was a second Japanese devil who had just returned from the United States, he was afraid that he would offend the Americans and would naturally not be embarrassed about such trivial matters, so he agreed happily and paid Roger in advance the salary for taking the photo. As for when to hand over the photos, it would be as good as he liked, and when it was convenient and when to go, there was no need to worry. To put it bluntly, it would be fine if he didn't hand over it.
