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

"Then let's go meet the company commander now and take a look at the Japanese base. We have to know their background so that we can arrange to destroy them later." Jiang Jiyuan put two bags of fish in a bag and carried them on a shoulder pole, and also held a wooden barrel in his hand.

When Jiang Jiyun heard his brother's words, he remembered to help find out about the Japanese's weapons and equipment.

Behind them, Ma Chao was carrying a wooden barrel and a pheasant in his hand, and Yan Xuyang was carrying a small wooden barrel and a beautiful pheasant. Looking at the bubble fish in Jiang Jiyun's hand, he didn't understand why his sister asked him to bring all the bubble fish over.

"What are you doing? This is a military stronghold and no one is allowed to approach."

Several Imperial Army soldiers with guns in hand looked warily at the two men approaching with children.

"Sir, your company commander asked us to come here to deliver fish to Major Yoshino for his birthday."

When the soldier heard that it was the company commander's instructions, he said, "Our company commander instructed us? Where are your passes?"

"Yes... yes... sir, we have... a pass..." Jiang Jiyuan was so scared that he stuttered as he spoke.

The soldier saw Jiang Jiyuan put down his load and bucket, and he took out an oil-paper bag from his clothes. He opened the bag and took out a pass and handed it to him.

After taking it and carefully checking it, he handed the pass to Jiang Jiyuan and said, "Follow me!"

Jiang Jiyun looked at him for a long time and asked, "Do you know Captain Chen?"

"Why are you looking for our captain?" The soldier was also a member of Captain Chen's subordinates.

"Yesterday, Captain Chen gave us a fishing net and asked us to catch fish for him. Yesterday, when my sister came here with the fish on her back, she met the company commander. He took the fish away and we felt sorry for Captain Chen." Yan Xuyang explained before Jiang Jiyun spoke.

The soldier looked at the little girl and no wonder she looked familiar. It turned out to be the kid covered in mud!

"Are you going to apologize to our captain?" The soldier looked a little better at them.

Jiang Jiyun and his companions followed the soldier to the outside of a tent. The soldier turned around and said to them, "Wait a moment, I'll go in and report."

"Okay, please come in, sir!" Jiang Jiyuan said as he put down his burden and bowed his head.

After a while, the company commander came out, followed by Captain Chen.

"Wow! You have gained a lot today! Company Commander, I have to give you a share today!" Captain Chen asked jokingly.

"Of course! There was only that one big fish that day, and I didn't even get a single fish scale. They were all enjoyed by the ladies!" the company commander explained to Captain Chen.

If this guy hadn't married the captain's sister, would he have needed to explain so aggrievedly to a small captain?

"Uncle Captain Chen, these are the pheasants and fish that my brothers and I caught. We came here to apologize to you!" Jiang Jiyun brought the beautiful pheasant over.

Captain Chen didn't like the pheasant, but instead took a fancy to the puffer fish in her hand.

"Hey! Give this puffer fish to me, I like it!" Captain Chen directly took the puffy puffer fish from her hand.

Jiang Jiyuan looked at Captain Chen in surprise and asked, "Sir, is this fish? Can I eat it?"

"Don't you fishermen know each other?" The company commander asked vigilantly with a changed expression.

"Sir, you don't know. We are refugees from the north. We are unfamiliar with the place and can't even speak the local dialect. People don't want to associate with us, so we come here to fish for a living."

After hearing Jiang Jiyuan's explanation, the company commander did not let down his guard. He came over and asked Jiang Jiyun, "Kid, where are your parents?"

"To answer your question, commander, I have no parents. They are all dead. I live with my brother and sister-in-law." Jiang Jiyun answered cautiously.

"How did your parents die?" The company commander squinted at Jiang Jiyun's little face.

“He was blown to death!”

Jiang Jiyun scratched his newly grown inch-long hair and spoke fearfully.

Captain Chen's eyes moistened when he thought of his sister who was also killed in the explosion. He said to the company commander, "Company commander, don't you choose the fish? Then I'll choose the fish and send it back first. Fish must be eaten fresh."

"You can choose whatever you want. Today is Major Yoshino's birthday. What do you want to do?" When the company commander saw him going to look at Jiang Jiyuan's bag, he stood up and followed him.

Ma Chao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that their attention had been diverted.

"Leave all the big ones, Xiao Chen, you just take two or three!" When the company commander stood up and was about to leave, he saw the fish in the bucket next to him.

"These are knife fish! There are so many of them, they are pretty good!" The company commander saw the bucket of fish that were a little longer than chopsticks.

"The sea bass in that bucket is not bad either, but I still like puffer fish." Captain Chen took the small bucket from Yan Xuyang's hand.

The company commander grabbed Captain Chen and said, "Xiao Chen, I see there are several of them in there. You must take out half of them."

"Captain, are you crazy? How dare you give this fish to the Imperial Army? It's poisonous!" Captain Chen looked at the commander in surprise.

The company commander shook his head. "As long as it's handled properly, it won't be poisonous. The chef I found happens to know how to cook puffer fish. Don't think of finding an excuse to take it all away."

Jiang Jiyuan and the others were all looking at the thorny ball-like fish in surprise, and it turned out to be a puffer fish. He had only heard about the deliciousness and toxins of puffer fish in books.

Finally, Captain Chen gave out half of the fish before letting Wang Cai send all the fish back home.

"How old are you, kid?" The company commander asked someone to send the fish to the canteen.

"To reply to the commander, I will be six years old soon." Jiang Jiyun looked at him with blinking eyes.

"Today is Major Yoshino's birthday, and his daughter is here too. She's about your age, so you should stay and serve Miss Sakurako today!"

The company commander's words startled Jiang Jiyuan and others who were about to leave. Captain Chen also looked at the company commander with a serious expression.

"This is inappropriate! The child is only a few years old and can't yet serve others. If he offends anyone, we will all be in trouble. Moreover, those imperial troops..." Captain Chen didn't know what the company commander was up to. He liked this child.

"What does it matter? She is just a child and can't understand what the ladies say. How can she offend anyone? She is just playing with Miss Yingzi. When she returns to the city tomorrow, the child can go back."

Jiang Jiyuan explained anxiously, "Sir, my sister can only do some rough work, can't speak the language of the Imperial Army, and can't serve people, right?"

"You can learn it if you try. Who knows how to serve others right from birth? Miss Sakurako can speak our language." The company commander looked at Jiang Jiyuan and others unhappily.

"Sir, my sister will be scared if she's alone. Can I...stay with her?" Yan Xuyang begged Captain Chen.

The company commander frowned at the boy who was about fourteen or fifteen years old and asked, "How old are you this year?"

"My dear general, I am fifteen years old." Yan Xuyang answered cautiously. He will be fifteen in a month.

The food he had been living with his sister and her family had improved a lot in the past six months, and he suddenly grew taller, and was even taller than Jiang Wenming when standing.

"Alright, you're too old to stay, just follow them and leave. This back there is no place for you to go."
