On the east side of the Ufa city, one kilometer close to the Ufa Station of the Siberian Railway, there are endless green camp tents, and a wooden tower will be erected in the middle of several camp tents. This is an observation post, each camp has an observation post, and two hundred observation posts are erected among the 170,000 Chinese soldiers, which is spectacular. From time to time, airships and planes land, transporting diesel and cans, compressing biscuits, etc., which aroused the curiosity of the recruits.

The Zhong** Battalion, which was beyond the limit, closely protected Ufa. The 700,000 Ufa citizens looked at the army and the Chinese every day very curiously.

In fact, not only Ufa citizens looked at the Chinese soldiers curiously, but many Chinese soldiers also looked at the Ufa citizens curiously. These tall Russians are not as tall as the legendary ones. Many people are even more sloppy than the Chinese. Although they are tall, they don’t look big. Their thin bodies support their wide clothes and are loosened by the wind. They waited in horror and curiosity to stare at themselves. The Chinese soldiers held the rifle in their hands tightly. When they were nervous, they could only feel at ease with my weapon.

A little girl looked at the steamed buns in the hands of a Chinese soldier, suddenly pulled her mother and said, "mama, гoлoдhыn." (I'm so hungry)

Zhao Ajiu looked at the steamed buns in his hand and then looked at the little girl. Although she couldn't understand what the little girl was saying, she could see what she meant. He walked to the fence next to the battalion commander, and a sentry guarding the fence shouted: "Get back."

"It's me."

"Oh, it's Platoon Commander Zhao." The sentry said, "Platform Commander Zhao, hurry up, don't do this in the camp, be implicated by the arrested brothers."

Due to the Russian civil war this year, coupled with natural disasters and drought, Russian families were very poor, and some Russian girls who were not full came to the Chinese interfering army to do flesh-and-skin business. Although Wang Mao ordered the Chinese soldiers to ban the rape of Russian women, one side was willing to buy and sell. With the addition of a 170,000 army, there were always so many opportunities. Those in the military police could only catch one. After coming to Ufa, the situation became more serious, as if the more we were heading west. The situation in Russia became more deteriorating. The sentry thought that Zhao Ajiu wanted to exchange food with Russian women with children, which was too normal, so he just warned him.

Zhao Ajiu is a person with a mental obsession with cleanliness. He smiled at the sentry. He walked to the fence, handed the steamed bun to the little girl, patted her head and smiled at her.

“cпacn6o.” (Thank you)

The Russian woman quickly whispered a few words to Zhao Ajiu, and pointed to the house over there, meaning that she could serve him. She only needed food. Zhao Ajiu shook her head and turned around silently to walk back. However, the woman started crying and said something in a pleading tone.

Zhao Ajiu knew what a woman meant. A woman’s family must be very hungry. But now Russia is in war everywhere, and even Ufa, the temporary capital of Tsarist Russia, has implemented a food distribution system, so her family must be very hungry. Zhao Ajiu still couldn’t bear it. She walked back to the fence, patted the little girl’s head, nodded at the woman, and said, “I’ll get some for you, wait.”

The woman couldn't understand his words, but looked at his sincere eyes and knew that he would definitely do good deeds to him. So she hugged the girl who was eating voraciously. Zhao Ajiu returned to the camp and said to his subordinates: "Who has extra steamed buns? Give it to me."

"What's wrong with the platoon leader?" asked a soldier.

Another soldier Yu Erchuan suddenly thought of something and smiled. He said, "Okay, platoon leader, I will give it to you." Someone wanted to ask, but he kicked them and said a few words in a low voice. Everyone laughed and took out the compressed biscuits and steamed buns in his pockets and gave them to Zhao Ajiu.

Compressed biscuits are not used to eating them. They are hard and are made of flour, fish, soybeans, and salt. They taste so unpalatable and are more convenient to carry and bear hunger.

Zhao Ajiu walked back to the fence with a bag of food. The woman was still there with the child. Zhao Ajiu carried the food, about four or five kilograms. He suddenly realized that the public security in Ufa was not very good recently. If a woman brought food with it, it would be very dangerous, so he got out of the fence.

The sentry on duty at the outpost looked at it, smiled, pulled another sentry beside him and said, "Look, see, have you seen it? Platoon Commander Zhao went to eat pheasants."

"The Russian ladies are pretty, and Platoon Leader Zhao has vision."

"The butt is so big."

“** is also big.”

"When one day we will find two of them, too?"

"Come on, Platoon Commander Zhao is a fighting hero. If something happens, it's a big deal. If the platoon commander is the squad leader, what about us? If something happens, it's enough to be shot. Be honest."

"That's right, when I'm the squad leader, I'll find a few Russian women."

The Kurkova woman was accompanied by a little girl, followed by Zhao Ajiu. The woman lowered her head and covered her and her daughter's face with a gauze scarf. She was born in a wealthy family, and her father was a farmer. However, after the October Revolution, his father and brother were killed by the angry serfs, and his husband died on the front line of the European War. She could only take a pair of children to flee east with other wealthy families whose property had been taken away, and flee to the Tsar's place, and the Tsar would protect them. She never thought she would become a prostitute. She was well-educated and could play the piano, but now she was helpless and could only pray for relief.

But that's the point of relief food. Tsarist Russia took care of the families who sent soldiers at home, so naturally she could not take care of her, who could only consume food but could not contribute. She heard from the woman in her neighbor's house that someone ran to the Chinese battalion commander to do flesh-and-skin business, shamelessly exchanged for food and money. Although the woman in the neighbor's mouth was verbally abused, her tone showed envy and jealousy.

After hearing this, Kurkova became concerned. Her youngest son was too hungry to walk and could only drink water to live. She decided to take a risk for her children. But after all, it was the first time she did such a thing and was still very shy, so she took her daughter to take a walk.

God made the decision. When she took the woman to the Chinese barracks, she had no strength to walk back. The long-term hunger made her a little dizzy. She was a little shaky. Suddenly, a pair of powerful hands held her, and at the same time she hugged her little daughter Orja, who was so tired that she was about to fall to the ground. Kurkova raised her head and suddenly felt grateful in her heart when she saw which Chinese soldier it was.

By the way, she took him to her home. They slowly walked back to the city, walked through the dirty streets and dilapidated city areas, avoiding the disdainful gaze of their neighbors. Finally, they came to their residence. Kurkova opened the door and her son Alyosha shouted weakly: "mama." She looked at Zhao Ajiu helplessly, and Zhao Ajiu handed her food.

Kurkova immediately took out the food and ran to another room. After a while, a little boy's voice started to scream. Kurkova returned to the living room and saw Orja falling asleep in the arms of the Chinese, holding him tightly and unwilling to let go. The manly smell of Zhao Ajiu. The young Orja smelled her father's feeling. She was fragile and needed a father, so she wanted to lie in her father's arms as she was now.

Kurkova felt a little sad. She took Orja and took her back to her brother Alyosha's room. She told him to take good care of her sister, then closed the door and told him not to come out. She walked to Zhao Ajiu, bit her lip and said in Russian: "You go to my room with me, and my children will see it here."

Zhao Ajiu couldn't understand her words, but his responsibility was fulfilled. He helped a poor woman with all his might. It seemed that she had lost her husband. He stood up and said in the Russian language he learned before going abroad: "Goodbye."

Kurkova looked at him in surprise. The Chinese man just left like this? He didn't need anything. He did nothing. She suddenly felt that this man was so majestic. Although he was not much taller than himself, what he did made her feel like relying on. She wanted to say thank you, but when she chased her to the door, she saw the neighbor's contemptuous gaze and closed the door in shame.

That ridiculous look made her very embarrassed. It seemed that she had lost the courage to be a human being. But when she opened the door of the child and saw Alyosha's rosy face because of her fullness, she had infinite courage.

She hid the excess food, then poured herself a glass of water, chewed it slowly and ate it, her body slowly surging heat and strength. At this time, she heard someone talking outside. Did she want to steal my food? She quickly ran to the kitchen and picked up a kitchen knife, walked to the door, and listened with her ear on the door.

"That Chinese man took so much food for her. Could it be that it took only a few minutes to finish?"

"Yes, Chinese people can't do it."

"Then we..."

"What are we doing if a young lady like Kurkova can be a prostitute? Think about your hunger. Is it better to starve to death than to be a prostitute?"

"Okay, but what are we doing with Kurkova?"

"Don't he knows Chinese? I just saw that Chinese man's military rank seemed to be an officer. We can ask her to help us contact Chinese soldiers."

"Okay, you're right."

Kurkova was very angry. She wanted to tell the woman outside that she was not a prostitute, but... would they believe it? Will they believe that they were not a prostitute?

"Olive, I heard that your...little brother is starving to death."

"Yes, he died last night, how did you know?"

"My father told me that last night, I saw your father quietly dropping a bag of things under the bridge. My father said, it must be the poor little Ivan who died."

"My mother had no milk because she was hungry, so she could only drink water, but there was no nutrition in the water. Yesterday he was finally relieved and returned to God's arms, alas."

Kurkova's heart trembled in the room, and another starved child, and just now, her son Alyosha almost starved to death. Yes, who would want to come out to be a prostitute and be pointed at by someone? They are all hungry, they are all this damn war. They are all poor people who don't want to starve to death, and they lose the backbone of their family like themselves.
