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

After hearing what that man said, Xu Fan and Chen Meng showed astonishment on their faces at the same time, and their eyes were all cast towards the man who looked like a skeleton.

He was so skinny and haggard that he looked as if he would fall down at the slightest breeze.

"My fellow villager, you just said that the Japanese's supplies are just outside the eastern suburbs of the city? Is this news true?" Chen Meng couldn't contain his excitement and curiosity, so he asked.

The man nodded slightly, his tone full of helplessness: "That's right, if we had some decent weapons in our hands, we would have rushed over and fought the Japanese to the death! We wouldn't be like now, just waiting to die..."

At this point, the despair in the man's eyes surged out like a tide, almost drowning his entire eye sockets.

Upon hearing this, Xu Fan and Dong Duoyu both frowned and looked at each other.

They secretly thanked their luck that they did not rashly enter the city, otherwise they would not have completed the mission.

At this time, Chen Meng turned his gaze to Xu Fan and kept winking at him.

Xu Fan's eyes turned when he saw this, and a plan came to his mind. He spoke in a native dialect, "Fellow villagers, how about we fight together? We will sneak over first, and find a way to lure away and kill those Japanese guards who are guarding the supplies, and then you can rush over and move the things away when the time is right!"

"But these Japs are holding guns in their hands. If we rush forward with bare hands, wouldn't that be just suicide? In my opinion, the three of you are still strong enough. If you flee now, you might have a chance to survive." The man said with a frown, looking up and down at the three people in front of him.

Hearing this, Xu Fan couldn't help but smile bitterly and asked, "If that's the case, then why don't you continue to flee? Are you willing to just wait here to die?"

The man slowly raised his head, looking at the equally exhausted and desperate women and children around him, sighed heavily, then shook his head and replied, "Alas... It's not that I don't want to run, it's just that there's nowhere to run! We don't even have a sip of water to drink along the way. If this continues, we will either starve to death or die of thirst in a few days! Even if we try our best, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out of this Yu Province."

After saying this, he sighed deeply again, as if he had already seen the tragic end of his family.

"Dad, the baby is dying. What should we do?" the woman shouted anxiously. Her dry and chapped lips opened again because she spoke too hastily, and even a few bright red blood beads appeared.

She was seen holding the child tightly in her arms. The child's face was as pale as paper and his breath was so weak that it was almost imperceptible. Her eyes were full of despair and helplessness.

At this moment, Xu Fan hurried over and said softly, "Don't worry, I still have some water here, you can give the child some to moisten his throat first."

As he spoke, he took out a water bottle from his pocket and handed it to her. Then, he took out a piece of black flour cake mixed with some wild vegetable crumbs and handed it to the woman, saying, "Here is another piece of black flour and wild vegetable cake, which will at least fill the child's stomach."

Seeing this, the man quickly reached out to take the things and stuffed them into the woman's arms.

Then he moved his body swiftly and used his broad back to block the sight of those people with bad intentions around him.

He lowered his voice and said to Xu Fan with gratitude: "Brother, you are really the lifesaver of our family. I, Shao Qingnian, will remember this favor today. From now on, my life belongs to you. As long as you say a word, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, I am willing to follow you to fight!"

Hearing this, a thin but determined young man standing behind Shao Qingnian couldn't help but ask, "Brother, can I...can I go with you? My parents are almost dying. If there is a chance to change the current situation, I would risk my life for it!"

"I'll go too. I can, too."

……

Xu Fan looked at those pleading eyes and felt a pain in his heart. He said to Shao Qingnian, "Brother Shao, you can tell them what I just said. You need to bring people with strong physical strength with you. When you hear the signal I send you, hurry up and move the supplies."

"Okay, we will definitely complete the task." Shao Qingnian answered affirmatively.

That is a matter of survival - to transport food!

Even though his body was exhausted, as long as he thought of his wife and children who were still hungry, he felt full of strength. He was willing to carry thousands of kilograms of food.

Xu Fan once again solemnly reminded Shao Qingnian: "When it is completely dark, you sneak to the warehouse and hide. Be sure to stay hidden and don't get discovered. You can only show up and act after you hear the signal we send. Remember?"

Shao Qingnian nodded vigorously, indicating that he understood. Then, Xu Fan picked up the empty kettle and turned away in a hurry.

Looking at the backs of the people going away, the woman looked at Shao Qingnian with a face full of worry, and asked in a trembling voice: "Boss, can we trust what they say? What if this is a trap? If you are gone, how will we live in the future?"

Shao Qingnian lowered his head silently, looking at his son in his arms who had just struggled back from the gates of hell and had finally regained some vitality, his heart filled with helplessness and sadness.

He sighed deeply and said slowly, "If we go, there may be a glimmer of hope. If we don't go, we can only sit and wait for death. It's a dead end anyway, so we might as well give it a try. Maybe what the young man said is true, and if so, we may all be able to survive this difficult time."

At this moment, two girls beside the woman, who were as thin as candles in the wind, stared at her pitifully with their hungry green eyes and shouted in unison: "Mom! I'm hungry..."

Listening to her daughters' weak cries, the woman's heart was torn and tears instantly blurred her eyes.

She gritted her teeth and a look of determination appeared on her face.

She raised her head, stared at Shao Qingnian firmly, and said firmly: "Boss, if that's the case, then let's make this bet! If we win, our family can live together; if unfortunately we lose, then the four of us will go down together to accompany you, so that we can be together as a family in the underworld and never be separated!"

After saying this, the woman was already sobbing. Shao Qingnian gently hugged his wife and children, comforted them with a few words, and then went to count the number of people who would leave with him in a while.

After more than an hour of running, Xu Fan, Chen Meng and Dong Duoyu arrived near the warehouse.

"I'll go to the upwind side and try to find a way to light the fire and release the explosives. You two should keep an eye on the guards and deal with them quickly to prevent them from being discovered and alerted by the Japanese." After Chen Meng finished speaking, he continued to run eastward.

Xu Fan and Dong Duoyu took the antidote and hid, secretly observing the situation of the Japanese in the large warehouse.

The two Japanese soldiers holding guns at the big iron gate became alert and prepared to go in to take a look when they heard a thumping sound in the yard.

"Boo! Hah! Hah!"

Xu Fan held an iron box in his hand and shot poison needles at the Japanese soldiers who were about to go in to check.
