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

"Brother Ma, let's leave this matter at that. I really can't do this." Xu Fan said seriously. His face was tense and there was no room for negotiation.

At this moment, Jiang Jiyun noticed that the girl put down the bag on her shoulders without hesitation. She widened her eyes and shouted angrily: "Do you think I'm fat, so you don't want to do it?"

Xu Fan quickly waved his hands and shook his head to explain: "No, no, no, don't get me wrong. You are not fat at all, you are blessed!"

However, Dong Duoyu did not seem to be convinced. She still asked excitedly: "Well, if it's not because of this, do you think I'm too strong? Or do you think I eat too much? Let me tell you, I can fully support myself with my own abilities. I don't need you to support me at all!"

When she said this, her voice trembled slightly, and it was obvious that she was beginning to panic.

Jiang Jiyun looked at Dong Duoyu's eyes full of grievance and couldn't help but sigh softly. Then he turned to look at Xu Fan and asked, "Brother Xu, why are you unwilling? Are you worried that if you die on the battlefield one day, it will delay the girl's life?"

Hearing this, Xu Fan remained silent. He just raised his head and glanced at Jiang Jiyun silently, then nodded slowly to indicate his agreement.

Seeing this, Jiang Jiyun suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "If everyone thinks like you, then by the time the war is over, our country will not even have the next generation. This is definitely not a legitimate reason for you to refuse to get married!"

Faced with Jiang Jiyun's righteous words, Xu Fan was speechless for a moment. He could only lower his head silently and continue to remain silent.

At this moment, Jiang Jiyun suddenly remembered an important thing as if a light bulb had flashed in his mind.

She suddenly turned her head and looked straight at Xu Fan, then asked again: "Brother Xu, do you already have a wife in your hometown?"

This sudden question made Xu Fan stunned for a moment, his face full of confusion and bewilderment.

After a long while, Xu Fan finally came back to his senses from the shock. He shook his head vigorously, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and he said: "Hey, Xiaoyun, don't talk nonsense! That's impossible!"

"Back then, in 1937, I left my hometown when I was only 17 years old to venture out to explore the world. Now I am already 22 years old, and it has been almost five years since I left home."

"I haven't been back for so long. I don't even know if my family members are still alive. Where can I find a wife?" After saying that, Xu Fan sighed helplessly, his eyes revealing his deep longing and worry for his hometown.

When Ma Chao heard this, his curiosity was completely aroused, and he couldn't help asking, "Since you don't dislike this girl, what made you refuse so resolutely?"

Xu Fan looked helplessly at the captain who was obviously gossiping, and responded unhappily: "Captain! We are carrying out an important mission now, what are you thinking about? Can you concentrate a little bit!"

Ma Chao laughed dryly, scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Hehe... I just asked casually, out of pure curiosity. Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."

After he said that, he quickly stood up and slipped into the room as if he had greased his feet, even taking away the little guy who had been standing nearby and trying to join in the fun.

Xu Fan looked at Ma Chao and the others quickly disappearing from his sight and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

He turned around, only to find Dong Duoyu in front of him with his cheeks puffed up, glaring at him angrily, looking exactly like an angry pufferfish.

Xu Fan took a deep breath, trying to keep himself calm, and then slowly said: "Ms. Dong, please understand that our operation this time is too dangerous. You really can't follow us and take risks together."

However, Dong Duoyu was not moved at all, and retorted with an unusually firm attitude: "I don't care about that. Anyway, I won't follow them. I just want to follow you! Don't forget, when you were at my house before, you promised to take me out!"

After hearing this, Xu Fan suddenly felt a splitting headache.

He quickly stretched out his hands to cover his forehead, and explained to Dong Duoyu earnestly: "Miss Dong, when I said I would take you out, I only meant to help you leave Dongjiabao, not to take you with me wherever you go. We have to be reasonable, right?"

Jiang Jiyun, who was hiding at the door of the room and eavesdropping on the noise outside, couldn't help curling his lips after hearing the conversation outside, and muttered softly: "What a fool! He actually tried to reason with a woman who is angry. It would be strange if this could make sense!"

At this time, Dong Duoyu was sitting steadily on the stool, with no intention of getting up and leaving. She crossed her arms and said firmly: "I don't care. Anyway, you said it, and I believe it. So, don't even think about leaving me and walking away!"

"How can you be so unreasonable? If you are worried about not having money, I can..." Xu Fan said helplessly.

"I'm not unreasonable. Even if I go to your leader, I'm right. You promised me that. You're not turning your back on me!" Dong Duoyu retorted.

Ma Chao in the room noticed the few people who were leaning against the door and craning their necks to watch the fun, so he asked, "Hey, have you guys packed up everything you need to pack?"

After being discovered, everyone was a little embarrassed, but soon Chen Meng came over and asked Ma Chao curiously: "Brother Ma, do you think Xu Fan will compromise with Dong Duoyu this time?"

Qi Feng frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head and replied, "In my opinion, it's unlikely. Xu Fan has a very stubborn temper. Once he sets his mind on something, he usually won't give up easily."

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but feel sorry for the girl, and wondered in their hearts, how could such a good girl fall for Xu Fan, a stubborn guy?

However, Jiang Jiyun held a different view. She shook her head slightly and retorted, "That may not be the case! As the saying goes, if a man pursues a woman, there is a mountain between them, but if a woman pursues a man, there is only a layer of gauze between them. In my opinion, our brother Xu is not completely indifferent to Miss Dong."

Hu Dahe, who had been standing silently by the side, nodded repeatedly at this time, expressing his agreement with Jiang Jiyun's point of view, and added: "That's right, as the saying goes, a strong woman is afraid of a clinging man! With Miss Dong's persistent personality, I guess our Brother Xu won't be able to hold on for long!"
