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

The brother and sister asked everyone they met along the way, and finally after a long journey in the county town, they arrived near the East City Gate. However, the city gate was closed at this time, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

The two of them drove the donkey cart to the door of a small restaurant closest to the city gate. Jiang Jiyuan politely asked the shopkeeper standing at the door: "Shopkeeper, do you have any vacancies here? My sister and I would like to stay here for one night."

The shopkeeper answered enthusiastically: "Yes, do you two need a meal? The food supply is tight right now, and we only have coarse grains and brown rice in the store. If you want to eat better food, you can go to a bigger restaurant." After that, the man took the initiative to help Jiang Jiyuan push the donkey cart to the backyard of the restaurant and brought a bundle of hay to feed the donkey.

Jiang Jiyuan smiled and responded: "Boss, please stop making fun of us. We just escaped from the disaster area. How can we afford to spend money in a big hotel?"

At this moment, Jiang Jiyun, who was sitting in the car and looking around, suddenly widened his eyes, stared at the person who was eating under the light in the house, and suddenly shouted excitedly.

Yan Xuyang, who was sitting at the table eating a bowl of black noodles, suddenly heard a familiar voice calling out, "Brother Xuyang!"

He raised his head suddenly, the bowl in his hand fell on the table, and began to look around for the source of the sound.

When he saw a small figure in a hat waving at him from a wooden cart in the backyard, he was so excited that he almost cried.

He rushed over quickly, hugged the little figure, and laughed happily.

Du Wanqing and Jiang Wanting were very surprised to see Yan Xuyang throw down his chopsticks and run away.

They also stood up, wanting to know what happened. When they saw Yan Xuyang holding a child and laughing, they all smiled.

"Xiao Yun!" Jiang Wanting shouted excitedly.

"Brother Yuan!" Du Wanqing also shouted excitedly.

Jiang Jiyuan was also very surprised. He walked over and looked at the two people, one big and one small, with joy in his eyes. He smiled and asked, "Wife, why are you here too?"

Du Wanqing replied with red eyes: "We came into the city this afternoon and wanted to see if we could buy a means of transportation here. The shopkeeper said that they are only sold here once a month at the morning market, which happens to be tomorrow, so we thought of staying overnight." She looked at the man and sister-in-law who returned safely, her heart filled with joy and peace of mind.

"Sister-in-law, I miss you so much!" Jiang Jiyun said while looking at Du Wanqing in Yan Xuyang's arms.

Du Wanqing looked at the dirty child's face and gently wiped her cheek with her index finger.

Yan Xuyang was looking at Jiang Jiyun who was wearing a hat in front of him and thought to himself: Brother Yuan must not know how to braid pigtails for his sister, so he covered Xiaoyun's head with a hat.

Then, he took out a cute little flower rope from his pocket, carefully handed it to Jiang Jiyun, and said softly: "Xiaoyun, do you like this little flower rope?"

Jiang Jiyun looked at the hairband in his hand without any surprise. She slowly reached out and took off her hat, revealing a bald little head.

Yan Xuyang and Jiang Wanting opened their mouths in surprise when they saw the familiar little bald head again.

Yan Xuyang widened his eyes, looked at the bald head carefully, and even reached out to touch it, feeling a little prickly.

"Where's your hair? Why did it become like this again?" he asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Jiang Jiyun pouted and told them honestly: "My hair was accidentally burned by fire, and my brother had no choice but to shave it off with a dagger!"

"Xuyang, please help us move the things into the room first. Don't keep the shopkeeper waiting for too long. We can talk later." Jiang Jiyuan saw the shop owner watching their reunion.

The shop owner shook his head and said, "It's okay. It's not a busy time now. You guys can chat. Fortunately, you can speak some Mandarin, otherwise I wouldn't be able to communicate with you. By the way, do you need to book another room now?"

When Jiang Jiyun heard this, he immediately raised his hand and replied in a baby voice, "Yes! I want to open another one!"

The shopkeeper smiled happily. He looked at the cute child in front of him and found it very interesting.

Du Wanqing was thinking that they had already booked two rooms, and it would be a waste to book another one. She thought that maybe they could squeeze in and spend the night together.

At this time, Jiang Jiyuan looked at the smile on the shopkeeper's face and said, "Shopkeeper, let's get another room."

The shopkeeper immediately nodded and agreed: "Okay, okay. Do you need a meal?" As he said that, he enthusiastically helped carry their luggage.

Jiang Jiyuan then asked, "Let's just eat something casually today. Do you have noodles and steamed buns?"

"They are all black noodles and black buns. There is no white flour for the time being."

"It's all fine, as long as I can fill my stomach." Jiang Jiyuan thought that now was not the time to be picky, as long as he could fill his stomach, it would be fine.

Du Wanqing put the hat back on Jiang Jiyun and said gently, "Let's go. I'll take you to eat first, and let your brothers go and pack up." After that, she took Jiang Jiyun to the table.

As soon as Du Wanqing entered the room, she saw the chapped skin on Jiang Jiyun's face and felt so distressed.

She couldn't help but touch Jiang Jiyun's little face and sighed, "You've lost weight in the past few days. Your brother must not have taken good care of you." Then, she ordered two bowls of steaming noodles and ten black-faced buns.

Jiang Jiyun felt warm in her heart when she heard Du Wanqing's words. She felt that her sister-in-law was really kind to her, so she sat at the table and waited for the food to be served.

After a while, a bowl of fragrant noodles was served on the table. Du Wanqing picked up the chopsticks, mixed the noodles, and then picked up some to feed Jiang Jiyun.

Jiang Jiyun took the bowl and chopsticks and started eating. He ate while mumbling, "Delicious!"

Du Wanqing watched Jiang Jiyun eating with gusto, her heart filled with joy. She put some more vegetables in Jiang Jiyun's bowl and told him, "Eat more vegetables, don't just eat noodles."

At this moment, Jiang Jiyun suddenly remembered that his face was a little painful, so he reached out and touched his chubby cheek, and asked doubtfully: "Have I really lost weight?"

Du Wanqing looked at Jiang Jiyun's actions and replied with a smile: "Yes, look at your little face, it's all cracked by the wind. Let's go see if we can buy some facial wipes tomorrow to make your little face smooth again."

When Jiang Jiyun heard what his sister-in-law said, he realized that he needed to apply baby cream on his face.

She remembered that she hadn't wiped it for a while. The wind here was bitingly cold. No wonder it hurt when it touched her face sometimes.

Thinking of this, Jiang Jiyun decided to remember to wipe his face secretly every day.

After dinner, Jiang Jiyun followed Du Wanqing and Jiang Jiyuan back to the room and briefly told them about their experiences over the past few days.

After Du Wanqing finished telling the story of the three of them, Yan Xuyang said apologetically, "Brother Yuan, I'm so sorry! I thought we could reach Hu City by crossing the river, but we went in the wrong direction. We didn't realize our mistake until we met someone asking for directions. I was planning to go back and row the boat again, but my sister-in-law told me that the boat might have drifted away, so we had to bite the bullet and continue on."

"Don't say that, our situation is similar to yours. Now that I think about it, walking seems to be safer than rowing. During the day on the river, we are simply sitting ducks, and the Japanese can easily spot us." Jiang Jiyuan also echoed.

Seeing Jiang Jiyun frowning, Jiang Wanting couldn't help but ask curiously, "Xiaoyun, what are you thinking about?"
