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

Jiang Wenming held Dong Duoyu and Jiang Jiyun's hands tightly and carefully hid them behind a pile of withered grass.

The three of them didn't dare to make a sound, but just peered through the gaps in the dry grass, nervously and curiously watching what was happening not far ahead.

I saw a few skinny men holding thick ropes and tying up a woman roughly.

The woman struggled desperately, her body squirming hard on the dusty ground, whimpering sounds coming from her mouth from time to time.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that her mouth was now firmly blocked by a piece of dirty rag.

In front of this group of men, there was a child about five or six years old who was tied up with the same ropes.

The child was terrified and cried heart-wrenchingly, with tears streaming down his face like a flood breaking through a dam.

Due to long-term malnutrition, the child looked skinny, but even so, when the men looked at him, there was still a greedy gleam in their eyes, as if they saw a delicious meal.

"Uncle, what are they...what are they doing?" Jiang Jiyun's heart was beating wildly like a war drum. Suddenly, a blurry and terrible picture flashed through her mind, but the speed was so fast that she had no time to see clearly what it was.

Jiang Wenming's face was as pale as paper, with beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down his forehead.

He stared at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but recall what he had heard from the elders in the village when he was a child. In the past, when severe natural disasters occurred, there had been horrifying scenes of cannibalism.

Could it be that at this moment, they really encountered such a horrible thing?

At this critical moment, seeing that group of vicious people were about to draw out their sharp knives to kill the innocent child, Jiang Wenming quickly took out a pistol from his arms and without hesitation pointed the gun at those guys who were about to draw their knives to kill.

There was a loud "bang". The sudden gunshot not only startled Jiang Jiyun and Dong Duoyu who were nearby, but also frightened Ma Chao and his gang not far away, and they jumped up like frightened rabbits.

And those men who were so aggressive and sharpening their knives to attack the children just now, seemed to be under a spell of immobilization. They stood there in a daze, and the knives in their hands fell to the ground.

Their legs began to tremble violently and uncontrollably, their faces turned pale as paper, beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down their foreheads, and their eyes were filled with fear.

The eyes of the woman who collapsed on the ground, which had become dull due to extreme fear and despair, suddenly flashed a glimmer of hope.

She widened her eyes and looked in disbelief at Jiang Wenming who suddenly appeared with a pistol in his hand. The desire to live was rekindled in her heart, and she screamed.

Jiang Jiyun and Dong Duoyu followed Jiang Wenming closely as he emerged from the bushes.

Dong Duoyu put down the heavy basket in his hand without saying a word and rushed towards the group of men like a ferocious cheetah!

Her eyes were wide open and she was waving her fists, hitting those hateful guys with every punch filled with rage.

Only a few muffled "bang bang bang" sounds were heard, and one man after another was knocked backwards like a kite with a broken string, and fell heavily on the ground in the distance.

Jiang Jiyun quickly walked to the side of the pitiful woman lying on the ground.

She squatted down, stretched out her hands and quickly untied the ropes that were tightly bound around the woman's body.

After the rope was loosened, the woman seemed to be reborn, and she quickly reached out and pulled out the foreign object that was stuffed in her mouth.

Then, she turned around and cried bitterly, and ran towards the crying child not far away.

Looking at the scene of the mother and son who had gone through so much hardship hugging and crying, all three people present were moved.

Especially when Jiang Jiyun heard the heart-wrenching cry, his heart was like a bottle of five flavors overturned, all kinds of tastes such as sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty surged into his mind. It was really not a good feeling!

Looking at those men who were arrogant and domineering before, they were now beaten black and blue by Dong Duoyu's fists and looked in a miserable state.

They rolled on the ground in pain, trying to struggle to get up and escape from this horrible place, but their injuries were too severe to even get up.

Ma Chao and Xu Fan, each holding a gun, ran over breathlessly.

When they finally arrived at the scene, they were stunned by the scene before them.

Jiang Jiyun and Jiang Wenming were seen standing side by side, looking anxiously at the mother and son in front of them who were crying heart-wrenchingly and hugging each other tightly. They seemed to have no idea how to comfort these two people.

Not far away, Dong Duoyu was standing there straight with an angry look on his face, holding a thick little tree in his hand.

Whenever someone lying on the ground tried to struggle to get up, she would rush forward without hesitation, and then seemingly gently swing the tree root covered with soil at the person, causing him to fall to the ground again.

Not only that, Dong Duoyu's other hand was tightly grasping a long knife that was shining with cold light and extremely sharp. He kept gesturing at the group of people, and roared from time to time, warning them not to move.

Seeing this, Ma Chao quickly walked to Jiang Wenming's side and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, what happened here? How did it become such a chaotic scene?"

Xu Fan also quickly came to Dong Duoyu's side, stretched out his right hand to take the long knife from her hand, and asked with concern: "Xiaoyu, are you okay?"

Hearing Xu Fan's question, Dong Duoyu was furious and complained to him with gritted teeth: "Brother Xu, these guys are simply crazy! They actually wanted to kill that poor little kid! If we hadn't seen and stopped them, the consequences would have been disastrous!"

Dong Duoyu's words exploded in Ma Chao's ears like a thunder. He raised his head suddenly, and his eyes were instantly locked on the woman who was crying heartbreakingly and almost fainting.

I saw her hugging the child tightly in her arms, her body trembling constantly due to extreme fear, and tears flowing freely like a broken dam.

Ma Chao's expression became extremely solemn. His brows were furrowed, his lips were pursed into a straight line, and he walked towards the mother and son step by step.

He turned to look at Jiang Wenming who was standing beside him, and asked in a low and dignified voice: "Did they and their son get robbed?"

Jiang Wenming nodded vigorously, his face also full of seriousness.

He took a deep breath and said slowly, "That's right, but these people are not ordinary robbers. They not only robbed money and women, but also set their sights on the little kid... They, they are simply a group of crazy demons!"

When he said the last few words, Jiang Wenming's voice involuntarily rose a few degrees, mixed with anger and fear that were difficult to conceal.

"What?" Xu Fan, who had been standing silently nearby, was stunned when he heard this.

He stared with wide eyes at the child in the woman's arms in disbelief, and a strong feeling of indignation surged in his heart.

Ma Chao also stared at Jiang Wenming in shock, as if trying to judge from his expression whether he was joking.

However, when he saw Jiang Wenming's face was full of confidence and there was no intention of joking, his heart sank.

"Has the situation here deteriorated to this extent?" he muttered to himself, his tone full of worry and uneasiness.
