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

"Xiao Yun, do you miss your mother?" Ma Chao looked at the child in front of him, only to see that he was staring blankly at one place without any reaction for a long time.

After a long while, Jiang Jiyun slowly came back to his senses, turned to look at Ma Chao and said, "Brother Ma, the person my mother was most worried about before was my father. I don't know where my father was taken. There has been no news for so long." As he spoke, Jiang Jiyun's eyes couldn't help but turn slightly red.

"What happened next?" Ma Chao asked softly.

Jiang Jiyun took a deep breath and continued, "Later, my eldest brother insisted on leaving home. He said he wanted to join the army to fight the Japanese and find the whereabouts of my father."

"But this made my mother start to worry about my eldest brother again. She was afraid that he would meet with an accident on the battlefield, and she was also worried that our family would be extinct. So during that time, my mother kept muttering about her eldest grandson all day long." At this point, Jiang Jiyun's eyes revealed a trace of sadness and helplessness.

As Ma Chao listened to Jiang Jiyun's story, he couldn't help feeling a pang of sadness in his heart.

He gently carried Jiang Jiyun to sit on his lap, then patted her back tenderly and consoled her: "No wonder you've always been so concerned about your eldest brother's marriage, urging him to find a wife every day. It turns out that you don't want your mother to know that there might be no successor, so that she won't be sad and upset."

Jiang Jiyun nodded heavily and answered with a slightly choked voice: "Yes, that's right. My mother once said these words to me when she was planting vegetables in the vegetable garden."

"She was particularly worried that she wouldn't be able to see my eldest brother get married and have children. She also told me to take good care of my eldest brother and help him get married and start a family as soon as possible. If I have the chance to find my father in the future, I should also tell him on her behalf that she has done her best to take care of this family."

After saying this, Jiang Jiyun could no longer hold back his inner grief, and tears burst out like a flood.

"Brother Ma, was she leaving her last words at that time?" Jiang Jiyun couldn't understand why a mother would say those words to such a young child.

"Is it possible that she is worried that if she is gone, you will have no reason to continue living. She said this because she hopes that you will do your best to live in order to fulfill her wish. Her greatest wish is for you to be alive." Ma Chao thought of using this reason to comfort her.

Jiang Jiyun's tears burst out like a dam breaking, but no matter how hard she tried, little Jiyun could not escape the fate of death in the end.

At this moment, a thought kept lingering in her mind: Could it be that she was brought here because of the original owner's mother's mysterious wish?

If I had not come into the book, perhaps Xiaobao would have passed away with his mother.

Not to mention Jiang Wenming and Jiang Liuye, Jiang Wanting had already passed away on the day the engagement was severed.

Even Jiang Jiyuan might unfortunately be buried in that dilapidated land temple with his comrades.

Jiang Jibai, Jiang Jijian and Jiang Wentao, who were far away in the Land of Sakura, were also not spared. Their lives were forever frozen in a foreign country.

Looking to the northeast, Tian Guizhi and her son also died tragically in that cold laboratory.

As for Jiang Jiancai, Jiang Wenqi, Jiang Wenshun, Jiang Wenli, Jiang Wenxing, Jiang Jichuan, Jiang Jijue and Jiang Jike who were in the gold mine, it seemed that they could not avoid the disaster and were destined to be buried there.

Even Jiang Jixue will not be able to escape and will die in Fu Jingming's home.

As for Jiang Wenyan, who is still alive, no one knows whether she will have the chance to return to her homeland.

In this case, could it be that his arrival has really become a key turning point in the fate of the survivors of Jiangjia Village? Is all this a coincidence or destiny?

Under Ma Chao's rocking and patting, Jiang Jiyun slowly fell asleep.

When Jiang Wenming and Xiang Xiuying came over with the dishes, they saw Ma Chao carefully stand up and walk into the house holding the sleeping child horizontally.

Xiang Xiuying sighed as she looked at the child with tear marks on his face.

Jiang Wenming guessed that she would definitely cry when she returned home. The death of her sister-in-law was like a huge stone weighing on the child's heart. Now that she has returned again, she will definitely blame herself, right?

"Oh! Even though she usually seems heartless, she likes to keep things in her heart. She must have cried a lot today, right?" Jiang Wenming put down the basket in his hand.

After Ma Chao took off the shoes of the little girl in his arms, Xu Fan had already made the kang. He put the girl down, took off her cotton coat and trousers, and put her in the quilt.

When Jiang Jiancai from the village heard what Jiang Wensong told him, he frowned and asked, "Did it rain before we came back last year?"

"It rained, but not much." Jiang Wensong told him affirmatively.

"Yu Province is the neighboring province. If something really happens, they will definitely come out to flee. Let's make more preparations." Jiang Jiancai said to his nephews and grandchildren.

Jiang Wenzhe and the others looked at each other. What a drought! Fortunately, they had planted a lot of sweet potatoes and corn last year, so much food was hidden under the ancestral hall.

Jiang Wenming talked to Ma Chao there for a while. He knew that Ma Chao and his companions would only rest for a few days and then take Xiaoyun away.

"Ma Chao, when you go to the base, I want to go too. I want to accompany Xiaoyun." Jiang Wenming looked at Ma Chao with firm eyes.

Xiang Xiuying, who was picking vegetables next to her, paused for a moment, then continued working without saying anything.

"Uncle, aunt is still here. Are you really worried about your family?" Qi Feng asked Jiang Wenming while looking at Xiang Xiuying who was lowering her head.

"Let him go. Without a country, there is no home. What he did was to kill the Japanese. I agree with his decision. I have so many relatives here and there is nothing to be afraid of." Xiang Xiuying looked up at Jiang Wenming and told them.

"Wife, you..." Jiang Wenming looked at him guiltily.

"You can go with them. I will take care of the family affairs. You and Xiaoyun are doing a big thing. As your wife, I should support you. Only after we drive away the Japanese devils can we live a stable life." Xiang Xiuying said with a smile.

Jiang Jiyun, who was in the room, had already woken up. She could hear what people were saying outside through the window.

After taking off the hat, he curled up in the quilt, closed his eyes and continued to sleep.

Xiang Xiuying and Jiang Wenming helped prepare the meal outside and then came in to wake up Jiang Jiyun.

I saw a bald head with a little bit of hair growing out from under the quilt.

Jiang Wenming smiled and picked up the hat and put it on her, then helped the sleepy person put on her clothes.

"Uncle, let's go to the old bamboo house in the mountains in the evening and put down the sweet potatoes, potatoes, and some grain seeds." Jiang Jiyun whispered in Jiang Wenming's ear.

"Okay, after dinner we will go to the mountains with Ma Chao and the others. I will inform my father and the others then." Jiang Wenming agreed.

With the new grain, they can grow food, and as long as there are no Japanese invaders coming to raid, they can survive the troubled times safely.

Moreover, after the last massacre in the village, there are now people on guard every day, and only some food is kept at home, and most of the food is stored under the ancestral hall.
