Under One Person: One Person Goes

Chapter 448 Sisters
As time gradually came to late December, Wang Yi, who was in the safe zone, gradually realized the effect of the connection between heaven and earth under the rule of this man-made blessing city.

The true Qi that he used to open up the temporary space and the Qi that the people emitted out of fear to maintain the existence of the temporary space were rapidly dissipating, as if there was a vortex in the city that was sucking away the invisible Qi.

However, the rate of loss is still within the range that Wang Yi can tolerate.

"Shrinking the circle? It seems that you still can't determine where I hid these people. You only know that they are in this area. So you want to force me out like this? Don't worry, I will find you."

Wang Yi knew the plans of these Japanese aliens, and his response was to gradually take back the Qi that he had dispersed to maintain the temporary space, and gradually move the refugees hiding in the temporary spaces around the safe zone into the safe zone.

The safety zone, which was already overloaded with people, is now overcrowded and unable to bear the burden.

This is also a helpless move. Since the other party wants to cut off the connection between them and the Qi of heaven and earth by severing the connection between heaven and earth, then every bit of Qi in their body must be carefully calculated.

The fifty temporary spaces originally set aside for refugees to hide were reduced to twenty by Wang Yi.

Similarly, although the Japanese strangers in the city did not know what Wang Yi was doing, they could guess that Wang Yi was fighting a desperate battle.

Their response was to send Japanese troops into the safety zone every day to arrest people in the name of searching for prisoners, from once a day to three or four times a day.

Hundreds were arrested today, thousands tomorrow, and then there were frequent gunshots outside the safe zone.

They used this method to force Wang Yi and the explosions hidden by Wang Yi so that they could surround and kill him and turn them into nutrients for the construction of Fucheng.

As more and more people were taken away from the safe zone, the uncooperative refugees who had previously been hiding in the temporary space realized that they had no choice.

Even though the safety zone is protected by the Germans, they still dare to come in and arrest people. No one can guarantee that these invaders will be able to arrest enough. If all the people in the safety zone are arrested, it will be their turn next. At this time, can we still expect these inhuman beasts to show mercy?
It’s better to give it a try while you still have the strength to move.

So they no longer resisted, but on the issue of who goes and who stays, there will always be people who refuse to cooperate. In the face of life and death, not everyone can face it so calmly.

"No! Why should we stay? Why shouldn't these female students stay? You know what those Japanese will do. Why should we? Captain Zhou, please be kind and let us go. I will warm your bed and sleep with you for a year, two years, or even a lifetime. Please don't let us sisters stay..."

In the safe zone, Yuzhu, the queen of prostitution who had been rescued by Wang Yi and sent to a temporary space to hide together with Zhou Weiguo, was kneeling and kowtowing to Zhou Weiguo.

Hiding for so many days had made her lose her former gorgeous appearance, and now she looked just like a village woman with dishevelled hair and dirty face, but her pretty face could still be seen.

But at this time, in order not to be left behind, she disregarded her image and begged Zhou Weiguo to take her away. When her begging failed, she began to tear off her clothes, revealing her naked body.

Zhou Weiguo couldn't bear to see the other party humiliating himself like this, so he could only bend down to stop him.

"Don't be like this. Even I can't guarantee that I can lead people to escape. You may not survive if you follow us."

"That's better than being abused by the Japanese! Why are you all standing there like idiots? Come and help me! Do you really want to stay and serve the Japanese? Are you so cheap?!"

Out of the corner of her eye, Wang Yuzhu saw that the sister who had come in with her to seek refuge was still standing there like a wooden man, and she cursed her in frustration.

"Sister Yuzhu, don't be like this. Let's just accept it. This is our fate."

"What do you mean by our lives, Wu Xiuli? You've been selling yourself out at the age of seventeen, and that's your life? And you, Lin Ruomei, stop pretending to be noble. Let me tell you, the Japanese like people like you. Let's see how many Japanese you'll have to serve!"

"Don't worry about it. If they really catch me, I will drag a Japanese to be buried with me when they make a move on me."

Hearing her former good sister scolding other sisters and even involving herself, Lin Ruomei retorted and showed the sharp knife hidden in her hand, which was enough to cut a person's throat.

"You are so noble, you are so great, but you are just like me, a person who has been ridden by thousands of people and slept with by thousands of people, and you are still pretending to be a heroine. Is it wrong for me to want to live? And you, Wu Xiuli, you don't need to pity me. Do you have the guts to seek death? If you don't want to die, kneel down with me!"

In order to seek a chance to escape from the city, Wang Yuzhu turned into a shrew and scolded the sisters who chose to accept their fate, represented by Lin Ruomei, and also encouraged those sisters who also did not want to be abused by the Japanese to make trouble here.

For a moment, Zhou Weiguo and the others didn't know what to do.

Ask them to choose again? But who here doesn't want to live? If they are asked to choose again, it will be unfair to others.

They are not in a position to allow them to elect again.

"Girl, you are not the only ones left behind. We are left behind too. Just accept it."

"Yes, Sister Yuzhu, let's admit it and stop making a fuss..."

The sister next to Wang Yuzhu, Wu Xiuli, was trying to persuade her sister, but she was also sobbing quietly. She was only twenty years old, how could she not be afraid of death? How could she not be afraid that she would be abused?

Among the crowd watching the fun, there were also people with bad intentions who fanned the flames.

"You are such a shameless woman. Since you are afraid of being abused by the Japanese, why not let us brothers have a chance to live happily before we die?"

"Let me see which one of you dares to touch her!"

Some people were making sarcastic remarks, while others were eager to try. Naturally, some sisters stood up to defend them. Lin Ruomei, who had just been ridiculed by Wang Yuzhu, stood in front of her sisters with a knife in her hand, pointing at those guys who were showing obscene smiles.

For a moment, the atmosphere was tense and a riot was about to break out at any time.

"what happened!"

Wang Yi, who came rushing over after hearing the noise, spoke with a voice as loud as a huge bell, shocking everyone's minds and suppressing the atmosphere on the scene.

Seeing Wang Yi coming, Zhou Weiguo hurried forward to explain the reason.

"What's going on? Didn't we say women, children and the elderly are given priority?"

"Wang Yi, you know what they do. Their bodies are not clean anymore, so everyone thinks that if they escape, they will just sleep with others, so why not just leave them here and give them to other strong people..."

At the end, even Zhou Weiguo himself couldn't continue and didn't dare to look Wang Yi in the eye.

While the two were talking, there was another commotion in the crowd. Wang Yuzhu, who had just been throwing a tantrum to save his life, fell to the ground uncontrollably, twitching continuously, and his consciousness became confused.

Seeing the other party's reaction, the ruffians who had caused trouble just now quickly distanced themselves and loudly indicated that they were not the ones who did it.

"It wasn't us who did this. This woman just had a craving for cigarettes!"

Of course Wang Yi knew that the other party was addicted to smoking. This kind of thing has been commonplace since he came to the Republic of China.

"Zi Zhong, take a look."

Wang Zizhong, who came with Wang Yi, walked quickly forward with a medical box on his shoulder. He first felt the patient's pulse and then gave her acupuncture. Even after stabilizing her condition, his brows did not relax. He suddenly reached out and pulled off Wang Yuzhu's collar, and saw the red rashes on her neck.

Seeing the red rash on her sister Yuzhu's neck, Wu Xiuli beside her was also frightened. She covered her collar and was about to walk away, but Wang Zizhong quickly grabbed her and pulled off her collar, revealing the same red rash on her neck.

Seeing that both of them had similar symptoms, Wang Zizhong also stood up and stared at the prostitutes surrounding him. Most of the prostitutes did not dare to look at Wang Zizhong at this time.

She also made similar actions to Wu Xiuli, either covering her collar or hiding behind other sisters.

"Zi Zhong, what's wrong?"

"Brother, why don't you just let them stay? Even if they leave, most of them won't live long."

"What do you see? They all have the same disease? An incurable disease?"

"Yes, syphilis."

"syphilis?"

"should be."

When Wang Yi and Wang Zizhong mentioned the words venereal disease and syphilis in their questioning and answering, the people watching the fun immediately distanced themselves from these prostitutes for fear of being infected.

They don’t understand syphilis, but when it comes to venereal disease, they understand what it is.

Before the advent of the specific drug, penicillin, people believed that syphilis was an incurable disease and anyone infected with it could only wait to die.

Those men who had just said that they wanted to be happy ghosts before they died were now even more frightened and were glad that they had only talked and not done anything.

Seeing that everyone around him was afraid of the mention of plum blossoms, Wang Yi saved himself the trouble of speaking and quickly called Zhou Weiguo over.

"Captain Zhou, please take these sisters and female students to another place with your people. I will handle it. Zizhong, you and your colleagues will follow. When we get there, take a good look at these sisters. If there are any fools who come to join in the fun, teach them a lesson."

Carrying a medicine box, Wang Zizhong also followed Zhou Weiguo. As Zhou Weiguo led his troops to take away the female students and hundreds of prostitutes, the farce came to an end.

Wang Yi stayed here and looked at those hooligans who almost caused trouble by talking without thinking, but he did not get angry.

"Gentlemen, can you calm down now?"

"Boss Wang, you are a full man who doesn't know the hunger of a hungry man. We are all people who have no tomorrow but today. We have never touched a woman in our lives. So what if we get sick? Isn't that what they do? Have fun once. We will die anyway."

"Brother, I have to correct you on two points. First, don't involve me in your previous statement. Although I, Wang Yi, have been in the martial arts world for many years and have mastered martial arts, I am just like you, a hungry man, known as a 'virgin' in the martial arts world."

"what?"

"What? At this critical moment, do I really need to bring up this kind of thing to amuse everyone? I, Wang Yi, have been traveling around the world for so many years. I have seen women and touched women, but I have never slept with a woman."

After these words were spoken, the young and old men on the scene burst into laughter, and the air was filled with a happy atmosphere.

"Hey, then Boss Wang, you don't live a carefree life either." "Who says it's not? The second point is, no one is born to be a prostitute or a brothel girl. They are girls, sisters, and wives of someone's family. If it weren't for the world forcing us to die, who could force them to be like this? We are all poor people, give them a way out."

"But Boss Wang, they have this disease and there is no way to survive."

"If you give them the money, they will have a way out. This matter ends here. Everyone, disperse."

Wang Yi said nothing more and turned away.

Looking at Wang Yi's departing back, the ruffians who were just thinking about having a good time before dying looked at each other, and finally shouted in annoyance.

"Alright, let's all go. Let's hurry up and eat and drink something good now. In my next life, I will sleep with three women in my arms!"

"Then I'll hold two."

"I am enough, with a wife, children, and a warm bed. I just want to live a comfortable life."

"Look at your behavior..."
-
A burst of sobbing woke up Wang Yuzhu, who had fainted from her opium addiction.

Only then did I realize that I was in a place that looked like an auditorium. The crackling sound of the burning bonfire brought a little warmth to the crowded auditorium.

Wu Xiuli, the little sister who had been advising and protecting her before, was sobbing quietly, with one hand rolled up at the sleeve, being played with by an ordinary-looking guy who wore a pair of glasses and looked like a weak scholar, and was muttering to himself.

"It's okay. You haven't had this disease for long. You won't die. You can be saved. I'll give you an injection first. After you escape, you need to change your clothes every day, wash them, and expose them to the sun for disinfection. You also need to keep that place clean..."

That’s right, if he had been sick, he wouldn’t have lived to this day and would have died long ago.

As he spoke, Wang Zizhong also took out a syringe from the medicine box and was about to inject Wu Xiuli with a special medicine.

"what are you doing!"

"Sister Yuzhu, don't!"

"Don't be impulsive, Yuzhu."

Wang Yuzhu was about to explode when she was held down by the quick-eyed and quick-handed Lin Ruomei. Wu Xiuli, who noticed the commotion, also spoke up to stop her.

"Sister Yuzhu, Doctor Wang is treating me and other sisters."

"What treatment do you want? If there was a cure for this disease, I would have paid for it long ago. Even the foreigners can't treat this disease, how can a quack doctor treat it? Aren't you just after the little gold and silver in your pocket? Lin Ruomei, get out of here!"

"Foreigners can't cure it because they don't have the ability. We, who are just wandering around and using tricks, may be able to cure it. It's free anyway. It'll only take a day or two. What's wrong with you getting cured? Don't you think the incident is not big enough? When you wake up, find a place to line up and wait for Zi Zhong to give you an injection. Follow the doctor's advice."

Wang Yi sat aside, watching this farce and making fun of it.

It was then that Wang Yuzhu discovered that not only her own sister Wu Xiuli, but also all the sisters by name along the Qinhuai River were lining up behind Wu Xiuli, seeking medical advice from Wang Zizhong one by one.

These sisters, like herself and Wu Xiuli, all had syphilis.

Seeing so many sisters queuing there, Wang Yuzhu still couldn't come to her senses.

"Why, are you trying to cure us so that I, an old lady, will be willing to accompany the Japanese?"

"No one wants you to accompany the Japanese. Fighting and dying is what we men have to do. You sick ones can still run and jump, which means the disease is still in the early stages. One injection a day, and you will see the effect in three days. Then you can go with these female students. You have seen the world after all. When we escape, we will have to rely on you to take care of these female students."

Wang Yi crossed his legs and struck a match to light a cigarette for himself, but found that there was only one cigarette left in the cigarette box. He could only hold the match in his hand and let it burn out.

A Fairy brand ladies' cigarette was handed over and lit just as the match was about to go out.

"Wow, the Fairy card, I've never drawn one before, thank you."

After thanking Lin Ruomei who came over to offer him a cigarette, Wang Yi didn't say anything else. He just sat there, watching Wang Zizhong examining and giving injections to each of the sisters.

Perhaps it was the psychological comfort of not having to stay and be abused by the Japanese, the sisters who had received the injections also felt that they were in better health, and they all flirted, teased, and flirted with the somewhat dull princes.

This made Wang Zizhong, the god of pure love, very uncomfortable. He kept repeating things like "I have a lover, girl, please respect yourself" and so on, which actually amused Wang Yi, who was watching the show on the side.

"Hey, this kid, he hasn't even met Yingzi, the wedding date hasn't been set, and there's not even an eight in his horoscope, but he's just reading it, what a..."

"Mr. Wang, why are you helping us?"

"There's no reason why. This is what we should do."

“Is this medicine really effective?”

"It works. I found the secret recipe from the United States when I went there in my early years, and I came back to tinker with it. In recent years, there is a special medicine for treating inflammation that is popular on the market. I made it and sell it. It is the only one of its kind in the entire Republic of China. Even foreigners have to look up to me."

“That’s expensive.”

"For the public, one tube for each small yellow croaker. For the inside, as long as there is enough raw material, it is no problem to produce a hundred tubes a day. I originally wanted to use them during the war, but we didn't win the war and they were not used much. So I used them all on you. It's worth it for me to give all these stocks to Zi Zhong for safekeeping."

"But Mr. Wang, even if you save us, what good will it do? We have no other skills except playing music and serving men. Even if we escape, we will be abused by others. It's better to die here."

"You can't survive here, and there's no place outside where you can live like a human being. Then go to a place where you can live like a human being."

"Is there such a place?"

"Yes, it may be a little small now, but it will become very big in the future, as big as the entire Republic of China. And don't underestimate your abilities. You are not just good at serving men, which is a skill imposed on you by others. You can also read and read newspapers, dance, and sing. These are great abilities. How many people want to learn them but don't have the chance to do so. You can become teachers, and people will respect you very much."

"One is in northern Shaanxi, and the other is in the mountain valleys and woodlands in northern Jiangsu. If there is a chance to escape, go to these two places."

"Shaanxi and Jiangbei? I've made a note of that, Mr. Wang. I, Lin Ruomei, promise you that I will take good care of these female students with my life."

As she said this, Lin Ruomei was about to kneel down to Wang Yi, but was stopped by an invisible force.

"Just do your best. Your lives are just as important. Also, don't kneel down. From now on, no one is worthy of your kneeling except your parents and the world. Remember this."

As he spoke, Wang Yi happened to meet the eyes of Lin Ruomei, who was leaning over and being supported by him.

After a long silence, Wang Yi stood up hurriedly.

"Oh, I almost forgot that I have something else to do. Zi Zhong, I'll leave these sisters and students here to you. I'll be out first."

After saying this, Wang Yi ignored Wang Zizhong who was in dire straits and ran out of the auditorium as if escaping.

Only Lin Ruomei couldn't help laughing out loud when she saw Wang Yi fleeing in a panic.

"What do you mean by supernatural powers? You are just a rookie who doesn't dare to look me in the eye..."
-
"Hey, you're coming out? Why don't you stay in there for a while? Wang Chunan?"

"Wow, good news never travels far, but bad news travels a thousand miles. You all knew about it in just a short while. You're already old, and you still want to make fun of me with this."

"It's strange. When I was your age, I already had two children. I didn't expect that you, Wang Yi, are not a Quanzhen Taoist, nor are you like Zhang Zhiwei who grew up in the Tianshi Mansion. I didn't expect that you haven't slept with a woman for so many years. The girls in my Wang family are all well-behaved."

"Mr. Wang, people with the same surname cannot marry. You are waiting for me outside at this time. Is there something you need my help with?"

"Of course I'm waiting for you here because I need your help with something."

Wang Yiyi, who had fled in a panic, was teased by the old patriarch Wang who was squatting here. He was helpless and quickly changed the subject.

The old patriarch of the Wang family was also unambiguous. He quietly stepped forward and whispered to Wang Yi, "You want to save all these prostitutes in there, right?"

"Yes, many women have been abused. There is no need to make them suffer as well."

"In that case, how about doing me a favor?"

"Please speak, old man."

"Tell them to leave their clothes behind before they leave and put on a good show in front of me. I can be of great use to them."

"Old man, have you made up your mind? Monk Mo Ming is still waiting for you to see how he dies."

"Just help me. The reputation of the four famous families cannot be ruined because of my selfishness at this time."

"In that case, I know what to do."

"Well, I'll go get ready too. I'll let you take a good look at the great work done by the Wang family's magicians."

After watching the old patriarch of the Wang family go away, Wang Yi quietly left.

Three days passed quietly. Just as Wang Yi said, with the help of Lao Meng, who had advanced to the level of a biologist, the penicillin that was developed in advance was a dimensionality reduction attack on syphilis, an incurable disease at this time.

Whether you are in the early or late stages, you can see the effect after three injections.

The good news is that these prostitutes are basically in the early stages of the disease, and after three injections, they are basically cured. Whether there will be a risk of reinfection in the future depends on whether they take good care of themselves.

As these prostitutes were cured, the time for evacuation came to an end.
