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

Jiang Jixue gently patted Jiang Jiyun's back, again and again, as if this could convey all her warmth and care to the sad and crying sister in front of her.

However, faced with such a sad situation, she couldn't say a word that could truly comfort the child, and could do nothing but cry with her.

Jiang Jiyun just burst into tears, as if he wanted to vent all the grievances and pain in his heart through tears.

After a long time, her crying gradually stopped, leaving only occasional sobbing.

She raised her head, her eyes red and swollen, and said to Jiang Jixue firmly: "Sister... I, I, I will definitely find a way to heal your face!"

Although his voice was still slightly trembling, his determination was unquestionable.

However, Jiang Jiyun felt helpless about the fact that Jiang Jixue had lost her tongue.

Even in the high-tech new century where she lived in her previous life, there was no medical technology that could regenerate a severed tongue.

After calming down a little, Jiang Jiyun stretched out his hands tremblingly, gently placed them on Jiang Jixue's wrists, and began to take her pulse.

When she felt that her sister's tendons in her hands and feet had been reconnected, she felt a little relieved.

It seems that Fu Jingming must have used a special medicine on his sister, which allowed her to recover from her injuries so quickly.

Then, Jiang Jiyun raised his head, looked at Jiang Jixue expectantly and cautiously, and asked softly: "Sister, are you willing to go back to our hometown with us? Brother Ji Bai, Brother Ji Jian, and your Ji Jue have all gone back to their hometown with Grandpa Jiancai and Uncle Wenshun. If you are willing, let's go together now, okay?"

When Jiang Jixue heard the news that her brother Jiang Jijue was still alive, her heart was shocked.

She subconsciously reached out her hand and gently stroked her face, her fingers slowly sliding across the tiny scars and rough skin. These marks were not only engraved on her face, but also deeply imprinted in her heart.

Thinking back to that unpleasant experience, her heart felt as if it was torn apart.

She had been tortured by those Japanese devils. If she went back like this, would she become a burden to her brother?

Now, even though she knew her brother was still alive, she couldn't help but hesitate.

"Sister Xue, I will definitely find a way to heal your face! I promise to make you more beautiful than before."

"And if Brother Ji Jue knew that there are still relatives alive, he would be so happy! Aunt is gone, and it was the guerrilla comrades who buried her kindly. As for Uncle Wen Hai... Alas, we don't know where he is now, but if he is still alive, he will definitely find a way to return to his hometown. So, Sister Xue, don't you really want to go back and take a look?" Jiang Jiyun leaned his little head gently on Jiang Jixue's shoulder and persuaded softly.

Jiang Jixue nodded vigorously, "Yeah, yeah..."

How could she not want to go home? That was the place she dreamed of returning to. That was her roots!

Granny Liu and the others also heard the crying, and knowing that they had things to deal with, they lay on the kang and talked peacefully.

It was Ma Chao who went to find Jiang Jiyun to get the things and brought them to Grandma Liu's house.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. We have some things to take care of over there. We'd like to ask you to stay here for a simple meal today. We don't know if we'll have the chance to meet again in the future. This is our thank-you gift to you." Ma Chao handed the small bottles in his hand to them one by one.

They looked at the several pills in the transparent glass bottle, and they could see the liquid inside the medicine flowing as the glass bottle was shaken.

"Is this the magic pill that pulled us back from the brink of death?" Mrs. Liu asked excitedly as she looked at the three pills in the bottle.

"Yes, this is not an elixir, it is a special medicine. Because of the war now, this medicine is very precious. They are all kept for life-saving. These are my gifts of thanks to you for your risking your lives." Ma Chao explained when he heard her talking about the elixir.

"Thank you!"

"Thank you!"

“Thank you so much!”

“It’s really worth our trip this time!”

The other elderly people carefully hid the medicine bottles in their arms. After they looked at each other, Mrs. Hu said, "We can't tell anyone about this. This is our life-saving stuff."

"clear."

"Never tell anyone."

"I won't tell you even if I die."

"Until the day I die, I will never say a word to my successor."

Knowing that Mrs. Hu said this to remind them, several people made the promise one by one.

"Grandma, we all have meat to eat today." Old Mrs. Liu's grandson ran over happily, holding a steamed bun bigger than his face in his hand.

Old Lady Liu looked at her eldest grandson and smiled and said, "Really? Kui'er, did you see it?"

"Well, they are killing big wild boars. There are several big wild boars there." Liu Kui broke the steamed bun and put it in his grandmother's hand.

Ma Chao looked at the tall young man in surprise, wondering why he still spoke like a child.

"Liu Kui is only thirteen years old this year. Old Lady Liu has always protected him very well. The child has never seen those bloody scenes, so he is a little naive." Old Lady Hu saw Ma Chao's surprise and explained to him.

This surprised him even more. "He's so tall and strong at only thirteen? What a great physique!"

Old Lady Liu smiled with satisfaction, "This child's parents passed away early, and he is the pillar that keeps me alive. The terms of my deal with you are mainly for them."

Ma Chao looked at the sturdy young man and said, "Be filial to your grandmother!"

Liu Kui nodded vigorously and said with a smile, "I will. My grandma said that if I marry a wife and have a big fat boy, she will stay at home and help take care of the baby!"

"Hahaha……"

When the people in the room heard that he was going to get married and have a big fat boy, they all laughed.

Liu Kui was a little embarrassed by the laughter. "I, I'm going to go out and watch them kill the pig."

Jiang Jixue held Jiang Jiyun and sat there watching Xu Fan and the others slaughtering the pig. This made the two sisters feel like they were back in the past. Jiang Jiyun chattered in Jiang Jixue's arms, and Jiang Jixue responded with gentle "hmm".

Jiang Wenming squatted beside the two of them, looking at the children from the garrison laughing around the pig slaughtering area with an envious look on his face.

In the past, they were just like these children, gathering around the uncles and aunts in the village to slaughter pigs. The women in the village would cook the pig-killing dishes on the temporary stove, and the whole village was full of harmony and joy.

"We will never see people in our village like this again!" Jiang Wenming's tears fell again.

There are more than a hundred people in the whole village now, but less than twenty of them are known to be alive, and most of them are gone.
