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

Not long after the meal, Xu Fan and his group hurried back. They looked solemn, and it was obvious that they had gathered important information during this trip.

Before anyone could ask, Xu Fan took the lead and said, "We heard some bad news. Recently, the Japanese in this area are frantically snatching food from the people!"

Hearing this, everyone present was shocked. Xu Fan continued to analyze: "In my opinion, these devils must have noticed the recent abnormal weather, so they are so eager to plunder food. Since we have successfully contacted the organization here, why not work together to think of a way to take back the stolen food. You know, if these people have no food, they really can't survive!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Chao and others nodded in agreement.

However, at this moment, Zhao Huashan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up: "This matter is indeed urgent, but there is one thing we need to pay attention to. We should not stay here for too long."

Ma Chao nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with Zhao Huashan's opinion, and then began to deploy the task: "Zhao Huashan, take Sun Bao and Chen Meng with you, and quickly find out where the Japanese are transporting the food. Remember, you must work closely with the comrades in the guerrillas, and try to obtain accurate intelligence as soon as possible." Zhao Huashan and Chen Meng took the order and left.

Then, Ma Chao turned his gaze to Xu Fan and continued to instruct, "Xu Fan, take your lunch box as well. Eat while walking. Take Miss Dong to contact the guerrilla comrades and find a temporary and relatively safe place to hide the food and drinking water we have seized. This will be used in case of any emergency."

Xu Fan responded, "Okay, I will ensure that the mission is completed!" After that, he set off with Dong Duoyu.

Uncle Jiang Wenming and his nephew both looked at Ma Chao and the others with wide eyes, waiting for him to arrange work for them.

"Xiao Yun, this big red flower has wilted. Do you want to take it down? It's a bit strange to see it so suddenly." Qi Feng said, looking at the big red flower on the little girl's head.

Jiang Jiyun then remembered that she still had a flower on her head. She reached out and took the flower off her black hairpin and said, "That aunt gave it to me out of kindness, so I didn't refuse. I was thinking of taking it off later, but then I forgot about it. I look like a fool with a big flower on my head. Uncle, why didn't you remind me?"

Jiang Wenming's eyes widened at his niece's words. "I thought you liked it very much."

"Okay, let's pack up and go to Sanzhuang Village to stay overnight. The Japanese have come here once today, and they shouldn't come again for a while." Ma Chao asked Jiang Jiyun to take out some luggage.

When they came near the village again, they were spotted by the sentry. "Didn't you leave?"

"Little brother, we dare not continue on our journey, for fear of encountering the Japanese army on the road. Can we stay here for two days? Our people will go and inquire about the situation ahead. As long as it is not so serious, we will leave immediately." Ma Chao said.

"Then you wait a moment, we will notify the person who can make the decision first." After the young man said this, he blew a whistle behind him.

After waiting for a while, I saw the middle-aged man coming over. He looked at the people carrying the luggage and sighed and said, "We thought you had left."

"Uncle, we are worried that we might be killed by the Japanese on the road, so we want to avoid the limelight before we leave. Can we stop in your village?" Ma Chao hurriedly came up to explain.

The man nodded and said, "Just call me Village Chief Lin. There are empty houses in our village where you can stay temporarily. You can prepare your own meals. As you can see, the Japanese have robbed some of our food. Alas, when will this end?"

"Old Song, arrange for them to live in Uncle Peng Yi's old house. I have to go and make arrangements for disaster prevention." Village Chief Lin said to Song Qiansheng who followed him.

"Comrade Song, I'm really sorry to trouble you." Ma Chao said gratefully.

Song Qiansheng shook his head and sighed, "We are all ordinary people. If we don't help each other, we will not be able to survive."

After they settled down, they were busy cleaning and preparing for the day. Jiang Jiyun took the two puppies to play in the yard. The two puppies became more energetic after eating, and no longer looked listless as before.

"Little black?"

"Ah Huang?"

Shitou led the little girl to the gate of the yard to look at the two lively and cute puppies. They couldn't believe that they were the dogs they raised.

Jiang Jiyun turned around and looked at the two children and said, "Come in and play with us."

Two children, one big and one small, walked in carefully. They said a little reservedly, "Little sister, we are not here to ask you for puppies, we just want to see them."

Jiang Jiyun waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's okay, just watch."

Jiang Wenming, who had boiled hot water and was still cooking sweet potatoes in the stove, called out to Jiang Jiyun outside, "Xiaoyun, we'll be able to eat the sweet potatoes soon. Wait a moment!"

"Uncle, please put two more in. I have friends coming over to play." Jiang Jiyun thought of Shi Tou and the little girl.

"Little sister, what's your name? My name is Jiang Jiyun." Jiang Jiyun asked the girl who was looking down at the puppy.

"My name is Wu Ya." The little girl said in a low voice.

Shitou suddenly said, "Wu Ya is your nickname. Your real name is Lin Xiang, and my name is Lin Lei, and my nickname is Shitou." Lin Lei corrected his cousin.

"Shi Tou, Wu Ya, just call me Xiao Yun." Jiang Jiyun ran to the kitchen and pretended to dig sweet potatoes out of the stove, but in fact he took out some hot roasted sweet potatoes from the space.

"One for each of us." Jiang Jiyun brought three steaming big sweet potatoes.

Shitou looked at the three big sweet potatoes on the small wooden stool and asked in surprise, "Are your sweet potatoes this big?"

"Yes, they are all this big." Jiang Jiyun slowly peeled the sweet potato with his fingers.

Wu Ya saw her peeling the sweet potato and throwing it on the ground, and she said in a low voice with heartache, "That, that can actually be eaten."

Jiang Jiyun paused. She knew how precious food was now, so she explained, "This is for Xiao Hei and Da Huang. They need to eat, too."

Wu Ya nodded in surprise after hearing this. "Thank you, I misunderstood you. But why are you called Ah Huang Da Huang?"

"It will grow up in the future, so I'll call it Dahuang." Jiang Jiyun gave the peeled sweet potato to Xiaohei and Dahuang to eat.

Shitou and Wu Ya also followed Jiang Jiyun's example and peeled the sweet potatoes and gave them to the two dogs.

"Xiao Yun, can I take the sweet potatoes back and eat them with my brothers and sisters?" Wu Ya was reluctant to take a bite.

Jiang Jiyun looked up and saw that the two children had not eaten a single bite, so he stood up and pretended to get two more from the stove and gave them to them.

"No need to give more. One is enough for us. Now this is a precious thing, you can eat it yourselves." Shi Tou took the sweet potato, smelled the sweetness and swallowed his saliva.

Jiang Jiyun stuffed two hot sweet potatoes tied with straw into their hands and said, "My uncle said this is a new variety of sweet potato. It's delicious. Take it."
