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

It was too quiet, so quiet that it made people feel a little uneasy. When Jiang Jiyuan was hesitating whether to enter the village, Yan Xuyang followed him.

"Uncle, why is there no sound here?"

Yan Xuyang's voice came from behind Jiang Wenming, scaring him so much that he almost shot him.

"Xuyang, could you please not make such a scary sound suddenly next time? What if I shoot you?" Jiang Wenming scolded him.

Yan Xuyang saw the gun in his hand and took a step back and asked, "Uncle! Why are you holding a gun?"

"Don't you see that this village is very strange? The sun has already set, and no house has turned on the lights, no chimney has smoke coming out, and there is not even a dog barking. I suspect something has happened in this village."

Yan Xuyang also paid attention after hearing what Jiang Wenming said. He sniffed and said, "Uncle, why is it so smelly?"

"Xuyang, I suspect that everyone in this village is dead!" Jiang Wenming said with a trembling voice.

His mind flashed back to what happened in their village that night: the screams of the villagers, the crying of the children, and the arrogant laughter of the Japanese devils. His body began to tremble and his eyes turned red.

"Uncle Wenming, you still have Sixth Grandfather and Ji Yun and the others, you have to..."

"I'm fine, let's go into the village!" Jiang Wenming interrupted Yan Xuyang who was scratching his ears and trying to comfort him.

The two men walked slowly and cautiously into the village, and the stench inside was getting stronger and stronger.

Not long after entering the village, I saw two dogs lying on the grass by the roadside.

"No wonder it stinks. These two dogs are infested with maggots, and why hasn't anyone come to deal with it?" Yan Xuyang covered his mouth and nose and walked over to look.

Jiang Wenming bent down, picked up a branch and looked through the cause of the dog's death.

"He was shot to death. It seems that the people in the village are in danger too!" Jiang Wenming looked at the bullet hole on the dog's head.

"Uncle, shall we go in?" Yan Xuyang asked Jiang Wenming a little fearfully.

"There's no sound here, so there shouldn't be anyone alive now. Judging from the degree of decay of the dog, it must have been a day or two ago. Let's go in and take a look!"

Yan Xuyang followed Jiang Wenming closely and walked slowly into the village, arriving at the first house at the entrance of the village.

"Uncle, the yard door is open. Should we go in?" Yan Xuyang asked behind Jiang Wenming.

Jiang Wenming tightly grasped the pistol in his hand, and Yan Xuyang saw it and took out the gun on his back and held it up.

"The sun has set and it will be dark soon. Let's go in and see if there are any flashlights or torches."

Jiang Wenming entered the yard and looked around and saw the doghouse. It seemed that the two dogs belonged to this family.

"Uncle Wenming, there are bloodstains on the ground and on the threshold." Yan Xuyang pointed at the ground and the threshold.

Jiang Wenming walked over, took a look and then went into the house. He saw that the house was in a mess and there were signs of rummaging everywhere.

Yan Xuyang took down two torches from the wall and ran to the kitchen to find matches to light the torches.

"Uncle, let's split up and explore. Sixth Grandpa and the others are waiting for us at the intersection."

Jiang Wenming nodded after hearing this and said, "Then you have to be careful and pay attention to safety!"

"I see!"

Yan Xuyang left a torch in the socket on the outer wall of the door and left.

In about ten minutes, the two of them walked to every house in the village.

"Uncle, there is no one here, only the bloodstained ground and walls." Yan Xuyang said with a heavy heart.

"Let's go back and find them. They must be getting anxious waiting for us." Jiang Wenming said with a sigh.

Yan Xuyang silently followed Jiang Wenming out of the village holding the torch.

"Grandpa, I saw two torches coming over. They should be Uncle Wenming and his men."

When Jiang Wanting saw two flames coming, she shouted to Master Jiang Liu who was sitting on the ox cart holding the child.

"Why did they take so long? Did something happen there?"

Du Wanqing heard Sixth Master Jiang's muttering and dispelled his speculation, "Sixth Master will be fine. Uncle Wenming brought a gun, and we didn't hear any gunshots."

Jiang Jiyun was still a little dizzy sitting on the ox cart. "Sixth Grandpa, why do I feel like I'm drunk?"

“Hehehe… Touch the top of your head with your hand. If you weren’t wearing a helmet, your head would have exploded.”

Jiang Jiyun touched the top of his head with his left hand and felt two bulges.

"Uncle, we are back!"

"Grandpa, there is no one in the village."

Jiang Wenming and Yan Xuyang ran back and sat on the edge of the carriage to rest and talk.

"No one? Is it the same as Qianjiahe Village?" asked Mr. Jiang Liu doubtfully.

"Uncle, they may be the same as in our village." Jiang Wenming said in a low voice.

Mr. Jiang Liu, Du Wanqing and the other two were so shocked that they got off the ox cart and stood up.

Jiang Jiyun, who could only hear a buzzing sound in his ears, was a little puzzled when he saw them. What had happened and why did they all get off the ox cart?

"sure?"

Yan Xuyang nodded and said, "Sixth Grandpa, we searched the village and found no one. It seemed that all the houses in the village had been searched, and we saw bloodstains in many places in the village."

"Sixth Grandpa, are we going to rest for the night?" Du Wanqing asked.

Master Jiang Liu shook his head and said, "No, let's continue on our journey."

"Then let's eat something on the roadside. We bought a lot of cakes. Let's eat first." Jiang Wanting spoke when she saw that no one seemed interested.

"Eat, and then we'll get going. Wan Ting, you can ride a bicycle too, so switch with your sister-in-law Wan Qing. She must be very tired after being busy for so long and riding for so long. Let her rest on the ox cart."

Du Wanqing was moved when she heard what Jiang Liuye said and looked at him, "Thank you, Grandpa!"

"We are all family. If there is anything, just speak it out and don't hold it in. If you exhaust yourself, you will be the one who suffers." Mr. Jiang Liu said to her.

Du Wanqing nodded, "Sixth Grandpa, I understand."

Several people sat on the roadside around a torch stuck in the ground, drinking water and eating bread.

After eating, Jiang Wenming tied a flashlight to the bridle of his bicycle. He led the way in front and the ox cart followed behind.

Yan Xuyang also tied a flashlight to another car, then went to pull back the cows that were grazing and prepared to continue his journey.

They traveled all night and finally arrived at HL city at dawn. At the city gate, a man in yellow clothes was collecting entrance fees.

"Five cents per person, and ten cents for a cow? People live worse than animals these days!" After reading the notice, Jiang Wenming returned to the team and talked to Jiang Liuye and others.

"A child as young as Xiaobao shouldn't need it, right?" Jiang Wanting asked while carrying the sleeping child on her back.

Jiang Wenming shook his head. "Yes, anyone who can breathe must pay the toll."

"No wonder everyone goes into the city alone. There are so many people waiting on the roadside."

Yan Xuyang was just wondering why so many people were waiting on the roadside instead of going in?
