Chapter 1124: Japanese September 18 Incident
She had probably use up all the good fortune that she had in this lifetime, which was why she hadn’t been able to live until Zhu Yanqiu achieved success.
After Mother Zhu was buried, Ning Shu didn’t send Zhu Yanqiu anymore telegrams. Even if Zhu Yanqiu sent telegrams, she’d read them, then rip them. Sometimes she would bring them back for Zhu Siyuan to fold airplanes with.
Right now, she was still making tofu to sell. However, a restaurant had taken a liking to the dougan she made, so they’d buy some from her every day. This made their quality of life much better compared to before.
She accumulated a bit of money and used over half of it to buy and stockpile rations.
After a while of being fed by Ning Shu, Zhu Siyuan finally got a bit chubbier compared to before and his hair was no longer as yellowish. Ning Shu had been trying to make her body healthier as well and with the help of the Unsurpassable Martial Arts, she had a lot more energy compared to before.
She had been trying to find a suitable weapon for herself. The most powerful weapon in this era was the gun, but she didn’t have the means to get her hands on a gun right now. Did this mean that she’d have to carry a machete around on her back and be an female ancient era hero?
A concealed weapon was better after all. It’d be convenient to carry around as well.
Ning Shu had an ironsmith make her a lot of needles that were about the size of a nail but much sharper. Whenever she had free time, she would practice throwing needles in the courtyard. This world would only become Increasingly chaotic.
Once Japan’s iron hooves landed on this nation’s oil, the entire nation would howl in grief and struggle in pain.
Ning Shu went to the pharmacy to get some medicine and created some poison powder and medicinal powder that could stop bleeding and treat external wounds.
Women and children were disadvantaged groups that could easily be bullied after all.
So whenever she had free time, she would have Zhu Siyuan run around the courtyard and practice the horse stance in order to strengthen his body. However, Zhu Siyuan was just a child and didn’t understand things very well, so Ning Shu could only focus even more on making herself stronger.
Ning Shu would still go sell tofu every day, but the atmosphere hovering around the village was starting to change. There was now a hint of panic.
The Japanese September 18 Incident occurred. Because of the central government’s nonresistance policy, Manchurian warlord Zhang Xueliang didn’t resist at all and simply retreated, causing the three provinces of northeast China to rapidly fall into Japan’s hands. Public opinion started criticizing Zhang Xueliang and the Nanjing central government.
To ordinary people, these were matters that were too high above them. Due to the three northeast provinces falling into Japanese hands, a lot of people escape from the northeast and poured into other areas.
Meanwhile, after the Japanese took over the three provinces, they continued to expand into the surroundings. It was very likely that they’d soon get here. Furthermore, the influx of refugees would cause a lot of disorder.
Everyone’s fates were outside of their own control in this great migration and everyone was living from hand to mouth. In this world, Ning Shu vividly felt how small humans truly were.
Several people in the village had already moved away. With someone being the first, others soon followed and started moving, fearful of being too slow.
