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

Jiang Wenming looked solemnly at Jiang Jiyun beside him, then calmly gave Ma Chao a meaningful look, and then the uncle and nephew turned around and walked towards the door in tacit understanding.

Sun Jiaguo, who had been paying close attention to their actions, keenly caught the look that Ma Chao gave in response.

He was startled and without any hesitation, he immediately followed Jiang Wenming and chased after him.

The three of them walked very fast and soon left the camp. When they arrived outside the county town, the city gate that should have been open was now tightly closed, like an insurmountable barrier in front of them.

The atmosphere in the city is now extremely tense and depressing, and people's faces are filled with fear and anxiety.

Ordinary people, with their families, gathered at the city gate in panic, trying to escape from the county that was about to fall into crisis.

However, when they saw the tightly closed city gates and the Japanese soldiers standing ready behind the fortifications, the glimmer of hope that had just ignited was instantly shattered. They could only sigh helplessly and quickly flee back home.

In sharp contrast to this are the wealthy families with solid financial conditions.

They closed their doors tightly and ordered their guards to ambush near the closed doors with a few worn-out guns.

The guards looked alert and kept looking around, fearing that uninvited guests might suddenly break in and rob or kill people.

Xu Fan quietly approached the theater alone. The quaint theater was now reduced to ashes.

His eyes were attracted by the shivering little beggar in the corner not far away. The little beggar was curled up, as if trying to avoid something.

Xu Fan was curious, so he slowly moved over. He squatted down and asked softly, "Kid, did you see why the explosion happened over there?"

When the little beggar heard the sound, his body trembled violently. He raised his head, his eyes full of fear and terror.

But soon, he seemed to have thought of something, gritted his teeth, and mustered up the courage to say, "I can... tell you, I can tell you for just three dollars."

Xu Fan was slightly stunned, then he couldn't help laughing: "Haha... little guy, I didn't expect you to be a money-grubber! But it doesn't matter, then you tell me first, let me see if this news is worth three dollars."

As he spoke, he took out three dollars from his pocket and shook them in his hand, making a crisp sound.

The little beggar stared at the three dollars with his eyes wide open and swallowed unconsciously. He still had to feed the little ones, so he had to live well.

"Are you a guojun or a gongdang? Anyway, the information I know is definitely much more than this price." The little boy said as he thought of the tragic scene.

Xu Fan put three dollars in his palm and said, "Tell me, if I find out that you are lying, our people will never let you go."

"Don't worry, the news is absolutely true." The little boy took the ocean, blew air into it, and put it to his ear to listen to the sound.

Just in the evening, when several officers who were listening to the opera had not yet left, a group of Japanese devils surrounded the theater.

When the troupe came out, they saw a familiar face standing in the group of Japanese soldiers. Hu Zi asked loudly, "Sister Jianan, why...why did you do this? Why did you bring people here to disturb Major Tanaka and the others?"

"No, no, no, I have never betrayed anyone. Let me introduce myself again. My name is Keiko Kojima. I have always been a member of the Empire and have never betrayed the Emperor." Keiko Kojima explained to Tanaka and several other majors with a smile.

The people in the troupe were furious when they heard her words. They never thought that the timid woman was actually a female Japanese devil.

The troupe owner laughed and asked, "You are Taijun's man, so why are you doing odd jobs here? We are just performing here peacefully. We have never done anything to displease Taijun. Major Sasaki and Major Tanaka can prove it."

Tanaka and a few others listened to the opera here for the whole afternoon. The service here was very considerate and there was no danger at all, so they all nodded.

Hu Zi and the others realized after hearing what the class leader said that they had never let that woman get in touch with any secrets, so even if she suspected that they were gongdang, she had no evidence.

"Although I don't have any substantial evidence, I am sure that there is a liaison officer of the Gongdang in your theater. This is the evidence." Keiko Kojima took out an old Three Character Classic and said.

Hu Zi's heart skipped a beat when he saw the book in the woman's hand. The class owner looked at the book and laughed, "Taijun, you speak Chinese fluently, so you must know a little about Chinese culture. The book in your hand can be bought in any bookstore. It is a must-learn book for children when they are first learning."

This was the first time that Keiko Kojima participated in an undercover activity. She went in hiding after knowing that there was something wrong with the theater. After two months, she had no specific information except doing odd jobs.

In recent days, she had found out some information from Hu Zi. When she saw that everyone in the theater was busy with the colonel's birthday celebration today and had neglected the book, she took the time to search Hu Zi's residence and found this often-read book.

She knew there was something fishy about this book, but she didn't know how to use it specifically. After she went back and reported it, Major Ida decided to kill someone by mistake rather than let him go for the safety of the colonel and his men, so he brought his team here.

"Ida-taijun, has the situation not been eased?" the class owner asked calmly.

"Tanaka, Sasaki, I'm in danger." (Tanaka, Sasaki, we can't put our commander in danger.)

The faces of the several majors who were listening to the play changed and they all agreed with Ida's words. Sasaki said, "It's better to kill by mistake than to let go!"

Major Ida waved his arm with a gloomy face, and the ferocious Japanese soldiers behind him immediately raised their spears and rushed into the quaint theater in neat and swift steps. Their footsteps echoed dully on the wooden floor.

"Hu Zi! I'm afraid we will never have the chance to witness the glorious moment when our country stands at the top of the world!" The class owner slowly closed his eyes and said with a face full of sadness and helplessness.

After saying this, he slowly turned his head and gazed at his fellow opera troupe members with deep affection.

"Master, I'm not afraid! Even if I die today, I will never retreat a single step!" Hu Zi gritted his teeth, his eyes determined.

"Master, we have performed countless good shows in our lives. Now that we can sacrifice our lives for our country, it is worth it!" an older brother shouted passionately.

"Master, as long as we can kill a few more Japanese devils, even after today, we will all be heroes!" Another senior sister was equally fearless.

......

Listening to his senior brothers and sisters' words of being ready to die, Hu Zi couldn't help but have tears well up in his eyes, but he forced himself not to let them fall.
