Years of the Republic of China 1913

There are quite a few Japanese in the Northeast. In addition to the hundreds of thousands of Japanese in Kanto Prefecture, there are hundreds of Japanese expatriates and employees serving Japanese institutions such as Manchuria Railway in Fengtian area, plus the Japanese of the Manchuria Railway Guards. There are thousands of soldiers, family members, Japanese businessmen doing business in the Northeast, idle Japanese wanderers, etc., and many places in Fengtian City are mixed with Chinese and Japanese. They all live in the same alley, or even in the same compound, with the Chinese.

Ordinary neighbors sometimes have conflicts, let alone Chinese and Japanese living together?Usually, the Chinese and the Japanese themselves look down on each other. Although the old saying goes that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, such a close neighbor relationship is not much better. It does not mean that all Japanese residents and local residents have conflicts, at least There are only a very few people who have a good relationship, and most of them either pretend that they don't know each other and never go out, or they fight each other tit for tat for three days and quarrel over trivial matters.On the second day after the porcelain shop incident, several ordinary households happened to gather together in the compound to chat about the incident, and they were particularly angry at Ri's rascal behavior, and couldn't help but curse a few words.This time, Matsumoto, a small Japanese businessman who lives in the courtyard, has been living in China for a long time. Although Matsumoto doesn't speak Chinese fluently, there is no problem at all, so he immediately went out to help himself. The compatriots argued.When the two sides met in this way, they happened to be in the middle of a fire, and the words inevitably smacked of gunpowder. After a few words, they quarreled, even to the point of punching each other.

Of course, most of the residents in the compound are Chinese, and because of the porcelain store incident, they share the same hatred.Matsumoto is not an opponent no matter whether he is talking or using his fists.After a few blows, Matsumoto fled in embarrassment after receiving a few old punches, and all the victorious Chinese danced happily.

Matsumoto, who suffered a loss, fled back to the house and couldn't get rid of the anger in his heart. He was so angry that he didn't sleep well all night.When he woke up the next day, when he came to the courtyard to wash, he was pointed at by a few little dolls and laughed, his face was livid with anger.The roots of the teeth were gritted.

Two fists are no match for four hands, and a fight is definitely unbeatable, and all the people living around are Chinese.If you do it yourself, you will definitely be beaten into a pig's head.But if he quarrels, he can't talk about so many Chinese people with one mouth, not to mention the proficient and profound Chinese.With his stammering and speaking of uncommon Chinese, he had to be scolded bloody by the other party.The breath in Matsumoto's chest was suffocating and uncomfortable, and he didn't recover all day, thinking about how to get revenge all the time in his mind.

Not to mention, after thinking about it for a day, Matsumoto racked his brains in the evening and finally came up with a coup. He searched the store, took a bottle of stuff in his pocket, and closed the door to get off work.When he returned to the compound, it happened to be dinner time, almost all the adults and children in the compound were there, and Matsumoto stepped into the compound.Uncharacteristically, he ran in front of the crowd and bowed again and again, his head lowered into his trousers, his expression was very sincere, and he kept saying that he had a bad attitude towards him yesterday to express his apology.

"Forget it, forget it, it's all from the neighbors. Is it necessary for such a small matter? Besides, we were also involved yesterday. I said Mr. Matsumoto, did you hurt you yesterday?" Ordinary people are like this, with a knife mouth and a tofu heart , seeing that Matsumoto actually apologized so sincerely to them face to face.The elders who quarreled with him yesterday felt embarrassed all of a sudden, and felt that today I have to distinguish between good and bad, not to mention that it was not Matsumoto who smashed the porcelain store, and everyone usually lives in a large courtyard, bowing their heads and not seeing each other. Look up, why do you have to be like an enemy for such a fart?

"It's all right, I'm causing you trouble." Matsumoto bowed again and again with a smile, expressing that he was fine.

"It's fine as long as it's fine. Mr. Matsumoto just came back and hasn't eaten yet? Well, it's just right, let's have a makeshift meal together today?" The more Matsumoto was like this, the more embarrassed everyone felt. He didn't have to go back and start the fire, he could just eat something together.

"No, no, it's too much trouble, it's too much trouble..." Matsumoto quickly refused, shaking his head like a drum.

"Oh, why are you polite when you are all neighbors? Come, come, my family cooked pork vermicelli today, can I bring you a bowl?"

"This...then... Aliado..." Matsumoto hesitated for a while, and finally nodded in agreement.

Pulled Matsumoto to the side and sat down, the adults who called Matsumoto to eat just now went to the house to help serve the meal, a few children were playing around the table, and the women were holding their youngest children and feeding them mouthful .

"Kids, come here, uncle will give you sweets." As soon as the adults turned around and entered the room, Matsumoto squinted at the children and raised his hand to greet them.

When the children heard the shout, they turned their heads and saw Matsumoto taking out colorful candies from his arms, and immediately couldn't take his eyes off, and ran over happily.

"Ribbon candy, it's delicious, don't grab one per person." Matsumoto smiled like a kind uncle and distributed the candy to the children. The adults who were a little further away would smile knowingly when they saw this candy. Good things, especially those sold in Japanese sugar shops are extremely expensive. How can these ordinary people buy this for their children except for the holidays?

A few candies were distributed, and the children who got it first stuffed them into their mouths in a hurry, and they were happy to taste the sweetness, while the children who hadn't got the candies were overjoyed and shouted for Matsumoto to give them to themselves.At this time, the adults put their attention on other places and stopped paying attention to Matsumoto. Seeing that the opportunity finally came, Matsumoto's smile suddenly flashed a hint of viciousness, and he reached out and took a bottle out of his arms.

"Everyone has candies... come, come, everyone has..."

While talking in his mouth, Matsumoto pulled out the cork with a smirk, took the bottle and poured it on the heads of the children around him.

"what……!"

With a scream, several children fell on the ground with their heads in their arms and kept rolling. At the same time, a sour smell accompanied by white smoke filled the courtyard.

"What's going on? What's the matter?" The adults hurriedly turned their heads, and they were all stunned when they saw this scene, shouting and jumping at their children.At this time, Matsumoto had already dropped the bottle, turned around and ran towards the gate of the courtyard. When people reacted, Matsumoto had already run out of the courtyard.

sulfuric acid!

Matsumoto was in the dye business, and in order to retaliate, he took a bottle of sulfuric acid from the store and went home. He first apologized to make everyone relax their vigilance, and then used candy to attract the children in the compound. When he noticed him, he quietly took out the prepared sulfuric acid and poured it on these innocent children.These children, the oldest was only eight years old, and the youngest were only three or five years old. Their heads were covered with sulfuric acid and immediately rolled on the ground in pain, crying miserably.The adults didn't know what was going on. They touched it with their hands at first, but they were burned by sulfuric acid when they touched their hands, and they screamed in pain.

Fortunately, there was a man in the compound who had worked in the dyeing workshop, and immediately recognized that it was sulfuric acid, and hurriedly called for well water to wash the children, but Matsumoto's attack was too poisonous, and the amount of sulfuric acid was too much. Except for the two children who stood far away and didn't touch much, the rest of the children were seriously injured. The adults didn't care about the acid burns on their hands, so they picked up the children and rushed to the hospital.

"Where's Matsumoto? Where's Matsumoto?" When they rushed to the hospital, it wasn't until the doctor took over the rescue that the adults came to their senses and remembered the culprit, Matsumoto.

"I ran away early, and I watched him run away as soon as something happened." The mother of a child said, wiping away tears.

"You...why didn't you stop him?" The father of the burned child scolded, stomping his feet.

"Stop? I was patronizing our baby at the time, why don't you chase him out?" Wiping away tears from the woman, he asked back.

"Aren't I in a hurry to save our baby? Look at this kid, Matsumoto, and won't you stop him? You long-haired but short-sighted bitch..."

The couple almost quarreled, but other people around hurriedly persuaded them to leave.

"Damn it, I said Matsumoto is an ordinary person who ignores everyone, and walks with his nostrils facing the sky. Why is he so polite today? He has been doing it for a long time to spoil the water! You have hurt so many children, you must not let this guy go." The father of one child scolded through gritted teeth.

"Yes! If you catch him, you must beat him to death." One person agreed.

"Fuck you, this person has disappeared." The other cursed and shook his head.

"Run? If you can run to the monk, you can also run to the temple? Isn't this Matsumoto who runs a shop? The shop is still there after he ran away, so go smash his shop." The first person to speak suggested.

"Yes! Smash his shop."

"Go, smash the store!"

"Go! Go!"

As soon as he greeted them, except for a few women waiting in the hospital, the men all turned around and walked away aggressively towards Matsumoto's dye shop.

Of course, Matsumoto who has done great things is not a fool, and it is impossible to go back to the store and wait for them to come to him.After running out of the compound, Matsumoto didn't know where he was hiding. When a group of people found Matsumoto's shop, they saw that the door was closed, not to mention people, not even a hair.

The dolls were injured like this by Matsumoto. The doctor in the hospital said whether the seriously injured could save their lives or not. Xing smashed open the door of the store, rushed in and smashed and beat everything he saw. For a while, all the products in Matsumoto's store were destroyed and turned into piles of rubbish.

The act of smashing the store has attracted the attention of the surrounding merchants. Japanese stores are basically located in this area. Seeing that these Chinese came to smash Matsumoto's stores without saying a word, some Japanese businessmen who were still in the store hurried forward to stop them. , due to the language barrier, and the fact that the fathers of these children were already full of anger at the Japanese, they started fighting every time they came and went. The friends and relatives of the children’s parents who came to help also happened to be there, and now the fights between a dozen or so people at the beginning suddenly developed into group fights with dozens of people, and as time went by, the Chinese who came here, Ri himself There were more and more, and finally this group fight turned into a battle of hundreds of people.
