After rebirth, I became a national teacher

On Boli Island, more than 1,600 miles away from Songhu Prefecture, the Japanese pirates who occupied the island were reorganizing their ships and preparing to go to the coast of Wei to burn, kill and loot.

Nearly two hundred young and middle-aged men in ragged clothes and thin bodies were taken to an extremely simple thatched hut settlement by a group of Japanese pirates.

"I'll give you a moment to go over and say goodbye to your families!"

At this time, in the hut community, many women who were also dressed in tattered clothes and had numb expressions were driven out of their houses.

They were all people of the Great Wei who were captured by the Japanese pirates.

Since arriving on this island, men and women have been separated.

The men worked as coolies, fishing in the sea, harvesting sugarcane to make sugar, and cultivating the fields on the island. Every day was heavy physical work, but they didn't have much good food to eat, and their lives were very difficult.

The situation of women was no different. They were slaves who wove cloth and cooked during the day, and at night they were raped and taken for fun by those beastly Japanese pirates.

That is to say, they were allowed to reunite with their families for the first time because they were going to go out to sea today.

"Zhong Siniang! Zhong Siniang! Where are you!"

Seeing the group of women coming out, many men in the crowd shouted at the top of their lungs.

Zhong Saburo is one of them.

Since being captured and brought to this island by this group of Japanese pirates last year, Zhong Sanlang has not seen his sister who was also captured here for almost half a year.

He had heard about how the women on the island lived.

It was said that many women committed suicide because they could not bear the torture, and he was not sure whether his sister was still alive.

When the Japanese pirates entered the village last year, his parents and brothers were killed by them. Now he and his sister Si Niang are the only ones left to depend on each other.

No matter what, he wanted his sister to be alive.

A girl covered in wounds and looking miserable was also searching among the crowd.

Hearing Zhong Sanlang's voice, the girl's numb expression was finally tinged with excitement, and she hurriedly stumbled towards the fence where Zhong Sanlang was.

"Third brother! Third brother! I'm here!"

Looking at the girl in front of him with disheveled hair, skinny body and covered with bruises, Zhong Sanlang's eyes suddenly turned red.

"Sister, are you...are you okay?"

The concern from her long-lost relatives made Zhong Si Niang burst into tears.

Not everyone has the courage to commit suicide.

Zhong Si Niang suffered torture every day but still managed to survive. The only thing on her mind was her brother who was captured with her.

"Third brother, I'm fine. I'm fine! How about you? Are you doing well?"

She couldn't use this rare family reunion time to complain.

Complaining is of no use except making my third brother worried and sad.

Zhong Sanlang also only reported good news and not bad news:

"Sister, I'm fine too, don't worry."

The two looked at each other's skinny faces and listened to each other's comforting words, and their tears flowed more violently.

After a while, Zhong Sanlang calmed down, held his sister's hand tightly, and earnestly urged,

"Sister, I'm going to the mainland with them this time. Maybe when I come back, I'll have been promoted to a warrior, and then I'll be able to pick you up!"

The leader of the Japanese pirates promised that as long as they showed bravery during this robbery trip to the mainland, they would be promoted to samurai upon return, and they would be able to protect their families.

"You must take good care of yourself and wait for your brother to come back!"

Zhong Si Niang shook her head vigorously and said anxiously:

"Brother, don't believe their lies. They just want you to block the knife! Few of those who rush to the front can come back. Don't think about whether you have made any merit or not. Protecting yourself is the most important thing!"

As she was talking, a fat, dark-skinned man came over, pulled Zhong Si Niang over, and slapped her hard in the face:

"What nonsense are you talking about, bitch! If you continue to disrupt the morale of the army here, I will kill you!"

After slapping him once, he raised his hand to hit him again.

Seeing this, Zhong Sanlang knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy:

"Brother! Brother! Please be merciful. My little sister was ignorant and said something rash. I won't do it again next time. Please don't hit her! I will behave well!"
