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

Yu Jiu said with a sad face, "Fourth Uncle, Chuyi and the others... I'm afraid they've already died."

Hearing these words, everyone present was stunned as if struck by lightning, and their eyes fell on the beggar-like child at the same time.

The woman walked quickly to Jiang Jiyun and asked suspiciously, "Little boy, are you here to deliver a letter?"

Jiang Jiyun looked up at the woman in front of him and saw that she was sweating and panting, obviously she had been running all the way here.

She gathered herself together, shook her head, and replied in a childish voice, "I'm not here to deliver a letter. I was just passing by and got lost."

After hearing this, the woman frowned slightly, as if she was a little skeptical about Jiang Jiyun's answer.

She squatted down and touched Jiang Jiyun's clothes. Suddenly, her face became solemn. The child's clothes not only smelled of gunpowder, but also a faint smell of blood!

The woman's heart tightened, but she did not show it. Instead, she pretended nothing had happened and helped Jiang Jiyun tidy up his clothes.

He said gently, "Don't be afraid, little one. Where are you going? We can send someone to take you there."

Seeing that she looked like Grandma Wolf, Jiang Jiyun instinctively took a step back and kept a certain distance from the woman.

She looked at the woman warily, hesitated, and then said, "We are going back to Shiba County."

When Yu Jiu heard what Jiang Jiyun said, he was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.

He stared at the child with wide eyes in disbelief, thinking to himself: This place is quite far from Shiba County, how could this child get here?

Jiang Jiyun said half-truthfully, "We were originally following Captain Yu Huaisheng to intercept the Japanese troops in Shiba County, but he was worried about Captain Jiang and the others, so he sent us to support them."

"But when we went there, their battle had already ended. Only Captain Jiang and his men were left. They are now cleaning up the battlefield. You can send someone over to help them now."

One of the old men said, "Yujiu, you take the people over there yourself. Sister-in-law, take the baby to wash and change clothes."

Jiang Jiyun originally planned to return to Shiba County immediately, but when she noticed that those people were still wary of him, she decided to change her mind and agreed to stay.

She thought that she could just leave a note for her uncle and brother to explain the situation.

Yu Shiyi walked over, took Jiang Jiyun's hand again, and then followed the person in front.

They walked in winding paths through the mountains and forests for a long time and finally walked out of the forest.

Only then did Jiang Jiyun see the village hidden in the mountains.

Yu Shiyi led Jiang Jiyun to a small courtyard.

The houses here are built with stone and wood. Although they look a bit simple, they should be cool in the summer, but may be cold in the winter.

Just as Jiang Jiyun was immersed in her own thoughts, a girl with two pigtails suddenly came into her sight.

The girl's eyes fell directly on Jiang Jiyun's head, and she exclaimed: "Oh, there are lice on her head, stay away from me!"

The sudden cry brought Jiang Jiyun back to his senses.

She was startled by the girl's loud voice. After a brief moment of shock, Jiang Jiyun quickly calmed down.

She explained unhappily, "It's not a louse, it's a radish seed. Look carefully before you speak. It looks bigger than me, so why are you making such a fuss?"

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Jiang Jiyun's voice. She felt that the little girl was too reckless and jumped to conclusions without careful observation.

Su Qing was already a little annoyed by being woken up in the middle of the night, and her mood became even worse when she heard Jiang Jiyun's response.

Su Qing's expression turned ugly. She asked Yu Shiyi beside her in a bad mood, "Brother Shiyi, where did you pick up this little beggar? Could he be a spy of the Japanese?"

Su Qing's words were full of suspicion and outright hostility.

Jiang Jiyun narrowed his eyes and looked at Su Qing carefully.

She was wearing a short jacket with a slanting collar, a knee-length pleated skirt, and a pair of exquisite little leather shoes.

Such an outfit seemed a bit out of place in this remote place. Jiang Jiyun thought that Su Qing was probably not an ordinary farm girl, but more like a foreign student in a girls' school.

At this time, the old lady came out of the house with a face full of anger. She glared and scolded: "Su Qing, don't talk nonsense! Some words cannot be said casually. Sometimes an inappropriate word may cause great harm to others, or even kill them!"

After scolding Su Qing, the old lady turned to look at Jiang Jiyun. Her expression immediately became amiable. She said softly, "Little kid, come here. Wash yourself first, then put on some clean clothes, and you'll feel much better."

Jiang Jiyun looked at the kind-looking old lady in front of her, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart, so she obediently walked towards the old lady.

The old lady took her to the corner of the yard, where there was a wooden barrel filled with warm water.

Jiang Jiyun looked at the wooden barrel with some confusion, muttering to himself: This scene looks like a pig is about to be slaughtered?

As if she saw through Jiang Jiyun's thoughts, the old lady smiled and explained, "Don't be afraid, little boy. The strong laborers in the village have gone to the mountains to cut trees. They may be back at any time. We keep the water warm in the pot so that they can take a hot bath when they come back to relieve their fatigue."

When the old lady saw Jiang Jiyun taking off his clothes and revealing scars all over his body, she was stunned.

After washing Jiang Jiyun's body and hair, and then changing the bucket of water to rinse, she couldn't help but ask, "So you are a girl? But why do you have so many wounds on your body?"

Jiang Jiyun looked down at the scars on her body, which were left on the battlefield before she had the Space Spirit Water.

She touched her scars and said, "These are my medals for killing the devils."

The old lady wiped her back with a handkerchief and asked, "You're so young and you're already killing Japanese soldiers?"

Jiang Jiyun told his life story again half-truthfully. When the old man heard that this child had gone out to kill the Japanese at the age of five, he was so distressed that he wiped away his tears.

Yu Shiyi, who was behind the straw curtain, heard their conversation. Su Qing's face turned ugly. She rolled her eyes and turned away.

Yu Shiyi couldn't help but ask, "Were you scared the first time you killed someone?"

As Jiang Jiyun put on his clothes, he said, "I'm afraid, of course I'm not. But if I don't kill them, they will kill me and our compatriots. They are not worthy of being human. So killing them is like killing chickens and ducks. There is no need to feel any psychological burden."
