Lost and Spy
Chapter 3440
Chapter 3440
Takeda Etsuo had made up his mind not to leave Manila until the war was over.
Actually, if you think about it carefully, is there anything wrong with what he said?
Not necessarily.
Indeed, the Allied forces were carrying out a massive bombing of the Japanese mainland.
Manila is relatively safe.
It is understandable that Etsuo Takeda wants to stay in Manila.
However, Meng Shaoyuan always had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
where is the problem?
Meng Shaoyuan couldn't explain it clearly either.
There is nothing to fault about the way Takeda Etsuo speaks or does things.
Moreover, it is human nature.
But Meng Shaoyuan just felt that there was something wrong.
Sixth sense?
Maybe.
"Since you insist on doing this, I can't force you to do anything." Meng Shaoyuan sighed, "Although you are safe here for the time being, please take care of yourself. If you need anything, I can leave you the contact information of someone who can help you."
"There is no need for this, Kudo-kun." Takeda Etsuo said silently: "Although my hands have not been stained with the blood of Filipinos, no matter what, now it can be regarded as my atonement.
When my sins are atoned for, I will be able to return to Japan, and then I think we will meet again."
"Then please take care of yourself." Meng Shaoyuan said nothing more and stood up: "I always have a premonition that maybe it won't be long before we meet again."
……
Every time the construction work ended, Takeda Etsuo was the last one to leave.
He must carefully inspect the construction site to make sure there are no hidden dangers before leaving.
His diligent and responsible approach during this period also won the favor of most people on the construction site.
People always talk about emotions.
Initially, every Filipino on the construction site was extremely disgusted with Takeda Etsuo.
Taunting, verbal abuse, and even beatings.
Etsuo Takeda endures this every day.
But after so much time has passed, Takeda Etsuo's silent contributions have been seen by these Filipinos.
Their disgusted hearts began to thaw gradually.
His attitude towards Takeda Etsuo also changed unconsciously.
He even often smiled at Takeda Etsuo.
All of this was achieved by Takeda Etsuo through his own efforts.
A foreman in charge of the construction site saw Takeda Etsuo was about to go back and kindly offered to give him a ride.
But a few days ago, the American was in a good mood and gave the foreman a motorcycle that was about to be scrapped.
Originally, the motorcycle could not be driven, but when Takeda Etsuo saw it, he volunteered to help repair it.
He tinkered with it for three days and actually managed to fix the motorcycle.
This also made the foreman overjoyed.
Although I can't afford a car, riding a motorcycle on the streets of Manila is cool enough.
The foreman was also very grateful to Takeda Etsuo and often took care of him at work.
Takeda Etsuo quickly declined the foreman's offer with gratitude, and said, "I'll go find some bricks for the chickens you gave me. There are still some places in the makeshift chicken coop that need reinforcement."
The foreman laughed when he heard it.
After the motorcycle was repaired, the foreman brought a chicken from his home and gave it to Takeda Etsuo as a token of his gratitude.
Takeda Etsuo regarded this chicken as a treasure. Not only was he reluctant to eat it, he also built a chicken coop for the chicken.
The foreman didn't force it any more and drove away on his motorcycle with a smile.
Takeda Etsuo lives very close to here. On the way back, he would nod and greet everyone he saw politely.
This is the most important reason why Takeda Etsuo is slowly restoring his image.
When he got home, Takeda Etsuo took out the food slowly.
Today's meal is much more substantial.
That day, a chef in the canteen on the construction site sprained his foot. Takeda Etsuo actually knew some massage skills, and he helped the chef with the massage for a while, which greatly relieved the chef's pain.
As a result, the chef was also very grateful to Takeda Etsuo.
Every time dinner was ready, the chef would always leave some food for Takeda Etsuo.
When Takeda Etsuo returned home, the door was always open even when he was eating.
He has a clear conscience and has nothing to hide from others.
There is no door lock either.
Why do we need to lock it?
This house is so poor and dilapidated that even thieves wouldn't even take a second look at it.
Takeda Etsuo ate very slowly, and he didn't finish until it was almost dark.
After a simple tidying up, he lit an oil lamp.
This is the only light he has here.
Time to fix up that chicken coop.
Takeda Etsuo walked outside and took a look. The moonlight was good and he could still see clearly.
The chicken coop was almost repaired, but the chickens that had already entered the roost were driven out again, which made the boss unhappy.
Building a chicken coop is not difficult.
Takeda Etsuo looked around and made sure that there was no one around. He rummaged around in the chicken coop for a while and pulled out something.
It was wrapped in oil paper.
After making sure that there was no one around, Takeda Etsuo opened the oil paper bag.
Two gold bars suddenly appeared inside.
Golden gold bars!
Takeda Etsuo stared at her for a long time as if she were the most beautiful woman in the world. Then he reluctantly wrapped her up in oil paper and put her back in the chicken coop.
This is something he has to do every day.
This is also his greatest happiness every day.
After cleaning up the chicken coop and driving the chickens back, Takeda Etsuo returned to the house, closed the door that was better than nothing, blew out the oil lamp, lay down on the bed, and closed his eyes comfortably.
……
Its daybreak.
Etsuo Takeda is a very self-disciplined person and always wakes up at a fixed time every day.
He doesn't eat breakfast.
He doesn't have the conditions to eat it.
Be patient.
It will be fine by noon.
It's time to go to work.
Takeda Etsuo opened the door and was stunned for a moment.
There was a person standing outside the door.
"Kudo Shinichi"!
"Kudo Shinichi" smiled and raised the things in his hand: "Takeda-kun, you haven't had breakfast yet, I brought it for you."
"Ah, you are so kind to me." Takeda Etsuo quickly adjusted his mood: "But I don't have time, I have to go to the construction site."
Meng Shaoyuan walked in forcefully without giving any explanation: "Don't worry, I've asked for leave for you. You don't have to go to the construction site all day today."
Takeda Etsuo had no idea what was going on. A flash of fear flashed across his face, but he immediately calmed himself down: "You are so kind to me, Kudo-kun. I can't even remember how long it has been since I last had breakfast."
Meng Shaoyuan brought bread and Coca-Cola to Takeda Etsuo.
Takeda Etsuo ate slowly and leisurely, not in a hurry at all.
"You are really a person who is willing to live in poverty." Meng Shaoyuan looked around the house and said, "If I were to live here, I don't think I would be able to live there for even a day."
"Ah, I'm used to it."
Takeda Etsuo smiled and said, "Actually, it's pretty good to have a place to live now."
"No, I'm different from you." Meng Shaoyuan lit a cigarette: "If it's in China... Have you ever been to China?"
He didn't even need Takeda Etsuo to answer: "I think you have never been there. It is the most beautiful country in the world. You must go and see it, but I'm afraid you don't have the opportunity.
What was I talking about just now? Ah, I said that if I were in China, when I had a mission to accomplish, let alone here, even if the environment was terrible, I would have to stay there, because I had something to do, do you understand what I mean?"
Takeda Etsuo put down the half-eaten bread and shook his head.
Meng Shaoyuan smiled and said, "Any person with a strong will will become extremely tenacious for their goals. They will endure until their mission is completed. Believe me, I am such a person."
"Of course, of course." Takeda Etsuo answered perfunctorily.
Meng Shaoyuan suddenly changed the subject: "However, I don't have any missions now, and I'm used to enjoying myself, so if I continue to live this kind of life, I'm afraid I won't be able to adapt. But you are different."
Takeda Etsuo shuddered slightly: "Kudo-kun, I don't understand what you mean."
"What I mean is that you also have a mission." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "So, you can still endure it. No matter how others humiliate you or insult you, you can endure it.
You can eat the leftovers that are given to you like beggars as if they were delicious fish and meat. You can treat all the sufferings you encounter as a kind of enjoyment. You can smile at everyone because you don't allow yourself to have any problems that would ruin your plans.
You know very well in your heart that as long as you can survive this most difficult period, with your caution, you will be truly released sooner or later. When you are truly free, you can fully realize your dream. "
"Dream, what dream can I have?" Takeda Etsuo sighed: "My only dream is that there will be no more wars, and from now on, I can live the rest of my life without worries."
"What is the rest of your life? Just to enjoy freedom?" Meng Shaoyuan smiled slightly: "I think what you call life is to have wealth that can be squandered by one generation, several generations, or even more than ten generations, right?"
"What did you say?" Takeda Etsuo's expression suddenly changed.
"You understand what I'm saying better than anyone else." Meng Shaoyuan said slowly, "Ever since I heard about you, I've been wondering what your purpose is. Why do you have to stay in Manila? There must be something here that you don't want to give up, so I started to get close to you on purpose.
To be honest, you acted so flawlessly that I couldn't find any flaws in you. This is really rare for me. But I just don't believe in evil. I deliberately made a move to alert the enemy. Since I left the construction site, I sent people to secretly monitor you. "
This time, Takeda Etsuo's face turned pale.
