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

Jiang Jiyuan looked at the two people laughing in the back seat, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a rare smile.

The smile seemed to be infected by the cheerful atmosphere in the back seat, and it seemed that he was happy about something in his heart.

Along the way, they took turns driving the vehicle and hardly stopped except for occasional stops to eat and refuel.

The wheels rolled and galloped all the way. They had to hurry as fast as possible to meet up with Ma Chao and his men.

The day for exchanging supplies was approaching. When they arrived not far from Luoyin City, Jiang Jiyuan looked at the gradually darkening sky and thought secretly in his heart.

He turned to the people standing next to the car and said, "Xiaotian, Xiaowei, go hide the car. We'll go to the village ahead tonight and find some fellow villagers to stay overnight."

Peng Yongyan naturally knew that they were going to put the car into the space, so he held Yan Wen's hand, carried his backpack, followed Jiang Jiyuan closely, and walked towards the village ahead together.

Not long after they started walking, Jiang Wenming, carrying Jiang Jiyun, Xiaotian, Xiaowei and others, arrived at the village entrance and caught up with the three people in front.

However, just as they were about to step into the village, a voice suddenly shouted, "Stop! Who are you?"

The sound came from the darkness, and a sentry walked out from the shadows.

His eyes were sharp, fixed on the people in front of him.

He saw women and children in the team, so he did not immediately notify other people in the village and came out to check the situation himself.

"Brother! We have been traveling non-stop for several days and are really exhausted. The men can still hold on, but the women and children can't. So we want to stay in your village for one night and rest our feet. Do you think it's convenient?" Jiang Jiyuan walked forward with a smile on his face and explained to the young man holding the red tasseled spear.

The young man looked Jiang Jiyuan and the others up and down, and saw that these men were all strong and muscular, and looked very powerful.

However, one of the men only had one hand, which made the young man curious.

Look at the woman again. Although her face was burned, there was a bright light shining in her eyes, without any inferiority or fear.

Finally, the young man's eyes fell on the child.

The child looked to be about ten years old, with a chubby face and fair skin. He was obviously a spoiled child and did not look like he came from a poor family.

After observing, the man took a step back and blew a clear whistle towards the darkness not far away.

Immediately afterwards, the same whistle sounded in the distance, as if responding to him.

Jiang Jiyun heard the "bugu" sound coming from afar. She didn't know what this sound meant here, so she could only look at the man vigilantly.

The man seemed to see the doubts of Jiang Jiyun and the others. He smiled and nodded, saying, "Just keep going along this road and you will enter the village."

"Thank you!" Jiang Jiyuan thanked him and walked forward along the road.

Jiang Jiyun lay tightly on his uncle's back like a sloth, his big eyes staring curiously at the front, looking at the small village that was getting closer and closer to them.

At the entrance of the village, there were several elderly men standing. They seemed to be very wary of Jiang Jiyuan and his group, and were looking at them with sharp eyes.

Jiang Jiyuan quickly took out their passes from his pocket for them to check, and said to one of the uncles with a smile: "Uncle, don't worry, we are really just passing through here and want to stay for one night."

Jiang Jiyuan turned around and pointed at his sister and Yan Wen and said, "Look, we have women and children here. They need a place to take a bath and have a good rest."

Hearing his brother's words, Jiang Jiyun subconsciously touched his hair.

I have been on the road these days and really haven't had much time to take care of my personal hygiene.

She smelled her clothes again and breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, it doesn't stink."

In fact, Jiang Jiyun would sneak into the space to take a shower every night when Yan Wen was not paying attention.

But her uncle was worried that if she washed her hair at night, her hair would not be dry and would easily trigger a migraine, so she could only find opportunities to sneak in and wash it a few times during the day.

The old man carefully observed Jiang Jiyuan and the people behind him. Seeing that they all had righteous faces and did not have any shifty looks, he felt relieved and led them towards the village.

The village chief led them with a smile into a small courtyard that looked quite new.

He introduced enthusiastically, "This small courtyard was just built by our family. We originally planned to use it for our youngest son's wedding."

"However, there are currently no beds in the new house, so I'll have to trouble you to make do with some tonight. I'll have someone bring over some planks and piece them together. It should be enough to sleep on for the night."

Jiang Wenming looked around and observed the house carefully.

He found that the house was made of adobe bricks. It was not easy to build such a house in the countryside, but the conditions were limited after all.

He couldn't help but admire the efforts of the village chief's family and expressed his sincere gratitude to the village chief.

Oda and Xiaowei also hurriedly put down their luggage and prepared to clean up.

Jiang Jiyuan pulled out a thick stack of banknotes from his pocket, handed it to the village chief, and said, "Village chief, this is our lodging fee. Please accept it."

The village chief looked at the thick stack of banknotes, waved his hands in surprise, and refused, "Oh, no, that's not necessary! You're doing us a favor by staying here. How can you charge so much? This is too much!"

Jiang Jiyuan quickly explained, "Village Chief, you're welcome. I know the French currency has depreciated, so I'm giving you a little extra as a token of my appreciation."

"And we also want to borrow a pot from you, and exchange it for some firewood and vegetables, so that we can cook something for ourselves in the evening." After saying that, he stuffed the money into the arms of the village chief without saying anything.

"Village chief, village chief..." At this time, a woman's voice came from far away.

After a while, they saw a woman running towards them, panting.

The woman leaned forward with her hands on her thighs, panting as she said, "Village... Village Chief... Cuixi is having a difficult birth... The midwife... The midwife has gone to her daughter's house. What should we do?"

The village chief said anxiously, "Hurry up and hitch the ox cart to the county town and find the midwife next door. She is having a banquet in the county town today."

The woman slapped her thigh and said, "It's too late. It will take an hour and a half to go back and forth. By then, there will be two dead bodies!"

Jiang Wenming stepped forward and said, "We can try. My niece is a medical student, but we can't guarantee that we can save the patient."

Jiang Jiyuan went up and pulled Jiang Wenming to ask, "Uncle, when did your sister learn to deliver a baby?"

"No, she just learned it from books and also experimented in space." Jiang Wenming said in a low voice.

Jiang Jiyuan frowned and asked dissatisfiedly, "Let me see what book my sister is reading. When did she bring the pregnant woman to the space to deliver the baby?"

Jiang Wenming glanced at his eldest nephew, silently took out a book without a cover from his bag and handed it to him, then went over and took Jiang Jiyun to follow the village chief.

Jiang Jiyuan looked at the coverless book and came to the place where Peng Yongyan hung the torch. He opened the page that his uncle had wrapped in newspaper and saw the big words "Sow Postpartum Care Manual".
