GRANDMA, CARRYING BASKETS of fistcakes on the pole over her shoulder, and Wang Wenyi’s wife,carrying two pails of mungbean soup, rushed towards the bridge across the Black Water River.
Though they had planned at first to head southeast through the
sorghum2 field, they found thegoing too hard. ‘Let’s take the road, Sister-in-Law,’ Grandma suggested. ‘The long way round isfastest.’
They were like high-flying birds making good headway through the open sky. Grandma hadput on a
scarlet3 jacket and oiled her hair until it
glistened4 like ebony. Wang’s wife, a vigorous butdiminutive woman, was nimble on her feet. Back when Commander Yu was recruiting troops,she had brought Wenyi over to the house and asked Grandma to speak to Commander Yu to signhim up as a guerrilla. Grandma had promised she would, and Commander Yu had taken him onfor her sake.
‘Are you afraid of dying?’ Commander Yu had asked him.
‘Yes.’
‘When he says yes he means no, Commander,’ Wang’s wife had explained. ‘Japanese planesbombed our three sons into
pulp5.’
Wang Wenyi was not cut out to be a soldier. His reactions were slow, and he couldn’t tell hisright from his left. During marching drills on the parade ground, he was hit by Adjutant Renmore times than you could count. His wife had an idea: he would carry a sorghum stem in hisright hand, so when he heard a right-turn command he’d turn in that direction. Since he had noweapon, Grandma gave him our
fowling6 piece.
When the women reached the bank of the twisting Black Water River they headed south,without stopping to enjoy the
chrysanthemums7 on the bank or the
dense8 thickets9 of blood-redsorghum beyond it. Wang Wenyi’s wife had lived a life of suffering, Grandma one of privilege.
