Chapter 3440

Etsuo Takeda has made up his mind not to leave Manila until the end of the war.

Actually, if you think about it carefully, are his words wrong?

Not necessarily.

Indeed, the Allied forces were carrying out indiscriminate bombing of the Japanese mainland.

Relatively speaking, Manila is a safe place.

It is not incomprehensible 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 clearly either.

There is nothing faulty about Takeo Etsuo's words or actions.

And, it’s all human nature.

But Meng Shaoyuan just felt that something was wrong.

Sixth sense?

Maybe.

"Since you insist on doing this, there is nothing I can do to force you." Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "Although you are safe here for the time being, please take care of yourself. If necessary, I can help you.

Leave contact information for people who can help you.”

"There is no need, Kudo-kun." Takeda Etsuo said silently: "Although my hands have not been stained with the blood of Filipinos, in any case, now, it can be regarded as my atonement.

When my crime is atoned for, I will be able to return to Japan, and when that time comes, I think we will meet again."

"Then, please take care of yourself." Meng Shaoyuan said nothing more and stood up: "I always have a hunch that maybe it won't be long before we meet again."

…

Every time the construction started, Etsuo Takeda was the last one to leave.

He must carefully inspect the construction site to ensure that there are no hidden dangers before he can leave with confidence.

And his conscientious approach during this period also won the favor of most people on the construction site.

People always talk about feelings.

Initially, every Filipino on the construction site was extremely disgusted with Etsuo Takeda.

Ridicule, abuse, and even beating.

Takeda Etsuo endures this every day.

But after so much time, Etsuo Takeda's silent contribution was seen in the eyes of these Filipinos.

Their disgusted hearts began to gradually thaw.

His attitude towards Etsuo Takeda also changed unconsciously.

Even, he would often smile at Takeda Etsuo.

All of this was achieved by Etsuo Takeda on his own.

A foreman in charge of the construction site saw that Etsuo Takeda was going back and kindly offered to give him a ride.

The Americans were in a good mood a few days ago and gave the foreman a motorcycle that was almost scrapped.

Originally, the motorcycle could not be driven, but after Etsuo Takeda saw it, he volunteered to help repair it.

After three days of tinkering, he actually repaired the motorcycle.

This also made the foreman overjoyed.

Although I can't afford a car, driving a motorcycle on the streets of Manila is quite cool.

The foreman was also very grateful to Takeda Etsuo and often took care of him at work.

Etsuo Takeda quickly declined the foreman's kindness with gratitude, and said: "I'm going to find some bricks for the chickens you gave me. There is still room for reinforcement in the temporary chicken shed."

The foreman laughed when he heard this.

After the motorcycle was repaired, in order to express his gratitude, the foreman specially brought a chicken from home and gave it to Takeda Etsuo.

Etsuo Takeda regarded the chicken as such a treasure that he not only refused to eat it, but also specially built a chicken shed for the chicken.

The foreman no longer forced himself and drove away on his motorcycle with a smile.

Etsuo Takeda lives very close to here. On the way back, everyone he saw nodded and bowed and greeted politely.

This is the most important reason why Etsuo Takeda is slowly restoring his image.

When he arrived at home, Etsuo Takeda took out the food in a leisurely manner.

The food today will be much richer.

That day, a chef in the canteen on the construction site sprained his foot. Etsuo Takeda actually knew some massage and massaged the chef for a while, which greatly alleviated the chef's pain.

At this point, the chef was also very grateful to Takeda Etsuo.

Every time it was time to prepare dinner, the chef would always leave some food and bring it to Etsuo Takeda.

When Etsuo Takeda 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 family is so poor and shabby that even thieves don't want to take a second look at it.

Etsuo Takeda ate very slowly, and he didn't finish eating until it was almost dark.

After briefly tidying up, he lit an oil lamp.

This is the only light he can get here.

It's time to repair that chicken coop.

Takeda Etsuo walked outside and took a look. The moonlight was still good and he could see clearly.

Most of the chicken shed was repaired, but the chickens that had already entered the nest were kicked out again. The boss was not happy.

Building a chicken coop is not difficult.

Takeda Etsuo looked around to make sure no one was there, then he dug around in the chicken shed for a while and took out something.

It was wrapped in oil paper.

After Etsuo Takeda once again confirmed that no one was there, he opened the oil paper bag.

Two gold bars suddenly appeared inside.

Golden gold bars!

Takeda Etsuo looked at the most beautiful woman in the world for a long time, then reluctantly wrapped it in oil paper and put it back in the chicken shed.

This is what he has to do every day.

This is also his greatest happiness every day.

After tidying up the chicken shed and driving the chickens back, Etsuo Takeda 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.

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.

Outside the door, there was a person standing.

"Kudo Shinichi"!

"Kudo Shinichi" smiled with a smile on his face and raised the thing in his hand: "Takeda-kun, you haven't had breakfast yet, I brought it to you."

"Ah, you are so kind to me." Takeda Etsuo quickly adjusted his emotions: "But I don't have time anymore, I should go to the construction site."

But Meng Shaoyuan walked in without any explanation: "Don't worry, I've asked for leave for you. You don't need to go to the construction site all day today."

Takeda Etsuo had no idea what was going on, and a trace of panic flashed across his face, but he calmed himself down immediately: "You are so kind to me, Kudo-kun, I can't even remember how many times you have been so kind to me.
