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

Jiang Jiyun lay on Jiang Wenming's back, and as Jiang Wenming walked forward step by step, he kept chatting with him about Xu Fan's gossip.

Xu Fan, who was walking not far behind them, had a face that became increasingly gloomy.

He heard every word of the conversation between the uncle and nephew in front of him.

He only heard Dong Duoyu indignantly say: "That's right, he is simply a man who doesn't know a gold inlaid jade! I am a typical virgin, not only beautiful, but also very strong, just a little fat, but fat is a blessing, I am sure I can kill the enemy in the battlefield. But he is so dissatisfied with me, it's really unreasonable!"

Hearing this, Jiang Wenming nodded repeatedly to show his agreement, and smiled and comforted: "Miss Dong, don't take it to heart. When these little devils are wiped out one day, you can come back with us. I have several nephews who are not married yet. When the time comes, we can become relatives, how wonderful it will be!"

Dong Duoyu nodded without thinking and agreed: "Okay, uncle! But you have to help me choose carefully. I must find someone who won't beat or scold me. Otherwise, if he dares to touch me one day, with my temper, I'm afraid I will accidentally hit him too hard and kill him!"

After saying that, she burst into laughter first.

"Puchi...hahaha..." Jiang Jiyun laughed so hard that he fell backwards.

Her eyes narrowed into slits, and tears even appeared in the corners of her eyes.

Ma Chao and the others heard Dong Duoyu's words. Although they were not as exaggerated as Jiang Jiyun, they could not help but laugh softly, trying not to make their laughter too obvious.

Looking at Xu Fan again, he was staring at the fat girl in silence.

Not long ago, this woman was very attentive to him and kept saying that she would not marry anyone else but him, but now she didn't even look at him and completely ignored him.

Xu Fan muttered to himself, "This woman's heart is like a needle in the sea. She is so fickle that it's hard to understand! She was so faithful to me before, but now she has turned her back on me. She is even more unpredictable than the weather in June!"

They stopped and walked along the way, passed through several cities, and finally set foot in the land of Heze in early April.

When Chen Meng and his friends arrived here, their eyes were immediately attracted by the surrounding scenery.

All I saw were fields that were yellow and withered, lifeless as if they had been burned by the scorching sun.

The soil in the fields dried up and cracked into deep cracks, like the open mouth of the earth, longing for the nourishment of rain.

Chen Meng couldn't help but frown and said, "Looking at this, it seems like it really hasn't rained here for a long time."

Ma Chao and the others all nodded in agreement, with a feeling of worry rising in their hearts.

The river in the distance, which should have been flowing with clear water, now only has the exposed riverbed visible.

After thinking for a moment, he suggested, "Why don't we contact the local guerrillas first? After all, sometimes it may take a long time for the notice from above to get here. If we can run into them, we can also warn them."

Everyone thought this was a good idea and started to take action.

Liu Zhiming volunteered to step forward and said, "Then I'll go to the city to find out what's going on!"

Ma Chao on the side said, "Xu Fan, you and Zhiming should go together. You are more steady in doing things, and it will be safer if the two of you take care of each other."

Naturally, everyone trusted Xu Fan's abilities and immediately agreed with their decision.

After they left, the rest of the people stayed there to find a suitable place to stay temporarily, quietly waiting for them to come back.

"Who are you? Why are you sitting in our field?" I saw an old man with gray hair and wrinkles on his face, holding a worn-out hoe tightly in his hands, staring at the group of strangers sitting in the field with vigilance. His cloudy eyes revealed uneasiness and confusion.

Ma Chao quickly stood up and walked towards the old man with a smile on his face, explaining: "Uncle, please don't misunderstand! We just happened to pass by here and were a little tired, so we just rest here for a while."

The old man looked Ma Chao up and down, then glanced at the people behind him.

I found that most of these people were young and strong men, including a pretty girl and a child.

They didn't look like those hateful Japs, so the old man's tense nerves gradually relaxed, and the vigilance on his face faded a lot.

"The river here is almost drying up. How about this? If you are thirsty, you can go to our village to drink some clean well water." As the old man spoke, he looked at Jiang Jiyun who was holding a kettle and drinking water in big gulps.

Jiang Jiyun took a few gulps and the kettle was empty.

Hearing this, Chen Meng hurried forward and took over the conversation, saying, "Sir, I'm so sorry! We are all outsiders, and the world is in a mess right now. We are worried that if we rashly go to your village, we will disturb everyone, so we will rest here for a while and don't dare to cause trouble to you."

The old man was completely convinced that they were not bad people. "You should replenish some clean water if you want to hurry on your way. Adults can bear not to drink, but children must drink."

"Uncle, thank you for your kindness. We will leave after resting for a while." Ma Chao rejected the old man's kindness.

Chen Meng came over and said to the old man, "Uncle! It has been a long time since it rained!"

"Alas, it hasn't rained since the beginning of winter last year. This year may be a year of famine." The old man put down the hoe in his hand and sat on the edge of the field with them and said.

"Uncle, we are going to Yu Province this time. We have received notice that there will be a severe drought and locust plague there this year. We are going there to inform them to take precautions." Chen Meng whispered to the uncle.

"What the hell? Is your information reliable? If it's true, many people will die!" The old man looked at Chen Meng in horror.

Zhao Huashan handed the old man a wrinkled cigarette and said, "Uncle, don't despise me. Take a couple of puffs to calm your nerves."

The old man took the cigarette with trembling hands, the fear in his eyes had not yet subsided.

"Uncle, you should know whether we are lying or not. You can guess that we are not lying by looking at the situation here." Ma Chao said as he helped him light the cigarette.

"It's over, it's all over!" After saying that, the old man got up and stumbled back to the village.

"Uncle, you didn't take the hoe!" Ma Chao picked up the hoe on the ground and chased after him.
