Traveling through the 1940s, the whole village was massacred at the beginning

The tents over there were quickly dismantled under the skilled operation of Liu Meng and others. Their movements were quick and orderly, and every step seemed so methodical.

These tents are not only a means of shelter from the wind and rain, but also a tool for future survival, so they must be properly preserved for future use.

When everything was ready, Lin De'an took out a worn matchbox from his pocket.

He gently opened the box, which contained several matches neatly arranged inside. He stretched out his finger, picked up one of the matches, struck it hard, and instantly a bright spark jumped out.

Then he waved his arm and threw the burning match towards the pile of corpses and cloth like a meteor.

In an instant, the fire was like a ferocious beast, roaring and engulfing the entire scene. The raging flames shot up into the sky, illuminating the surrounding darkness.

Jiang Jiyuan followed them and left quickly. More than an hour after they left, a small group of Japanese troops came quickly from a distance.

"Bagaya Road!"

"Who did it?" (Who did it)

"Tune them and kill them" (find them and kill them)

……

When Jiang Jiyuan and his companions returned to the yard, they left one person on guard at the entrance of the village while the others went back to rest.

After Yan Xuyang finished collecting cotton, he came back with some sweet potatoes and flour. Now seeing that only a few people came back, he understood that some of them would leave by boat.

"Let's have breakfast!" Du Wanqing and Jiang Wanting brought out breakfast.

"I'll take two steamed buns to eat on the way. I have to find the higher-ups and ask them to contact Province Z. Political Commissar Qian and his men need to dock in a safe place, and someone must be there to pick them up." After Jiang Jiyuan finished speaking, he took the steamed buns and pushed his bicycle and ran away.

Jiang Jiyun sat quietly aside today. She saw Sister Wanting holding the pink dress and embroidering on it.

She was sitting quietly in the corner eating breakfast today. The look her brother gave her just now made her sit there obediently, not daring to move.

Lin De'an and the others took a short nap and then went out. They didn't come back until midnight to discuss something.

Jiang Jiyuan asked Du Wanqing to pack up as they would be crossing the river in two days.

Two days passed peacefully like this. Early one morning when Jiang Jiyuan and his friends were getting ready to go out, they saw a half-grown boy staggering towards them.

Everyone in the yard became alert. Lin De'an asked in confusion, "Wasn't Liu Meng on sentry duty today? How come he didn't warn us?"

"There should be only this one child who came. He probably doesn't want to alert the enemy and wants to see if there is anyone else behind him, right?" Yuan Guoliang guessed.

Yan Xuyang looked at the person running over and shouted, "Cai Sidong! Why are you back? Where are the villagers?"

Jiang Jiyun also secretly peeked at the situation outside the yard, and she saw Cai Sidong running to the gate of the yard panting.

"Brother Jiang, please leave quickly! My mother is bringing the devils to catch you!"

Yan Xuyang looked at Cai Sidong who was slumped on the ground and asked, "Haven't you been gone for many days? Why are you still around here?"

"Brother Xuyang, you know that almost everything in our village was burned to ashes by the fire! When we left the village, we had very little with us! The weather is getting colder day by day, but we still don't even have the things we need for the winter!"

"There was really no other way. We had to hide in the land temple where the Japanese captured us last time. The great grandfather of the clan said that in the current situation, the most dangerous place has become the safest place. So we rested there for two days, and also thought about collecting some money to go to the county town to buy some daily necessities."

"The people who went to purchase supplies yesterday came back and told us that they saw my mother running to report you to the Japanese! After hearing the news, I didn't dare to delay for a moment and rushed to inform you overnight. Thank God, I finally found you before them! There is no time to lose, you should run for your lives!"

Jiang Jiyuan and Lin De'an were just looking forward to going to their destination today to join up with Captain Hong and his team to deal with the Japanese regiment.

However, the unexpected changes disrupted their original plan. Faced with such a situation, it seemed that there was no other way but to change the strategy at the last minute.

At this moment, Jiang Jiyuan looked into the distance with worry, secretly guessing the enemy's troop deployment in his heart.

He knew very well that this encounter was definitely not an accident, but a carefully planned encirclement and suppression operation.

His own forces were weak, and if he did not seek reinforcements in time, the consequences would be disastrous. So he turned to look at his wife Du Wanqing beside him, his eyes full of guilt.

"Wife, the situation is urgent now. We don't know how many Japanese soldiers are rushing towards us. You must ride your bicycle immediately and take Wanting and Xiaoyun to find Captain Hong and others as soon as possible, and ask them to come to support us as soon as possible!" Jiang Jiyuan said to Du Wanqing in a firm but helpless tone.

He knew that this decision meant putting his wife and children in danger, but at this moment he had no choice.

Du Wanqing nodded slightly to show that she understood what her husband meant. She took a deep breath and tried to keep herself calm. Although she was also nervous inside, she was clearly aware of the severity of the current situation and the urgency of the task.

"Brother, I won't leave with my sister-in-law and the others. I don't want to get a sore butt from sitting on the bicycle with them. And from what you said, you want to ambush the Japanese on the way! Wouldn't I be the safest in the village?" Jiang Jiyun looked at the bicycle. She hadn't even sat on it yet, but she felt a dull pain in her butt.

Jiang Wanting said to Du Wanqing embarrassedly, "Sister-in-law, you are still pregnant, and it should be me who goes to deliver the letter, but I can't ride a bike, so I won't go with you. You can ride faster that way. I'd better stay at home and look after Xiaoyun!"

Jiang Jiyun looked at Jiang Wanting speechlessly, "Sister Wanting, I reasonably suspect that you are here just to watch over me at home!"

"It's good to have you watch over her. Don't let her run around. Yuan, you two must hold on until I bring people back!"

After saying this, Du Wanqing didn't hesitate at all. She quickly pushed her bicycle and rushed towards the direction where Captain Hong was.

Jiang Jiyuan and Lin De'an picked up their weapons and left the village. Yan Xuyang warned Jiang Wanting, "Sister Wanting, this little girl has big ideas. Follow her and don't listen to her tricks!"

Jiang Jiyun stared at Yan Xuyang with eyes wide open and said in disbelief, "Brother Xuyang! You actually insulted me in front of me?"

"Ahem..." Yan Xuyang cleared his throat and said, "You stay at home and protect Sister Wanting!"
