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

Jiang Jiyuan stared blankly at the scene before him, his heart unmoved.

He watched as those people drank the "bathwater" one after another, and not a shred of pity welled up in his heart.

Today, the waiter told them that Section Chief Cao had directly led his team to surrender to the enemy.

This action directly led to the Japanese soldiers easily storming into the city and committing indiscriminate killings, with many innocent lives lost in this bloody massacre.

Jiang Jiyuan was furious because he had heard Yu Ziheng say during the day that the maternal relatives of the third branch of the Yu family were surnamed Cao.

In the evening, he learned from the underground workers that the Cao family was not only cowardly but also implicated many innocent civilians and their comrades, making them scapegoats to suffer the enemy's fire.

Jiang Jiyuan stared at the person on the ground, his fists clenched so tightly that his nails almost dug into his palms.

He was filled with righteous indignation at what these people had done. If the situation didn't prevent it, he would have rushed forward immediately to seek justice for his comrades who had died tragically and to make these shameless bastards pay the price they deserved.

Seeing his elder brother's somewhat gloomy expression, Jiang Jiyun's heart tightened. He quickly walked to his side, gently tugged at his hand, and softly asked, "Brother, what did you buy?"

Jiang Jiyuan smiled slightly and said, "I bought you new clothes today. Go back and take a shower later, then change into them and see if they fit."

Just then, Yu Ziheng came out after changing his clothes. When he saw Jiang Jiyuan, he greeted him with a smile: "Cousin, you guys eat first. We can talk about it later."

Yu Ziheng noticed that Jiang Jiyuan's expression was somewhat serious, as if something was on his mind, so he asked with concern, "What's wrong? Is something bothering you?"

Jiang Jiyuan hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell Yu Ziheng the truth. He lowered his voice and said, "The man surnamed Cao might be an informant for the Japanese. They might still be secretly making contact."

Upon hearing this, Yu Ziheng's expression changed, but he quickly regained his composure. He knew that Cao Sheng was a fickle opportunist who would sway whichever way the wind blew. He just didn't expect that even though there were no Japanese soldiers here, he was still acting as a traitor.

He sighed and said to Jiang Jiyuan, "The water we use at home today was all transported in from outside the city, so it's absolutely safe. Why don't you eat first?"

Jiang Jiyuan looked at him and continued, "This is a small gift I bought for my aunt."

As he spoke, he handed another bag to Yu Ziheng, then solemnly whispered, "Take your aunt and the others and leave here quickly. The city may not be peaceful tonight."

Yu Ziheng took the bag and sensed Jiang Jiyuan's worry. He nodded, indicating that he understood Jiang Jiyuan's meaning.

Actually, he had planned to leave the city with his mother and sister tomorrow to settle down, but since Jiang Jiyuan said so, he might as well move it up a bit.

Jiang Jiyun saw Yu Ziheng carrying a bag and hurrying upstairs.

Jiang Jiyun was a little confused and was about to ask when her brother Jiang Jiyuan suddenly grabbed her and took her back to the room arranged by the Yu family.

As soon as he entered the room, Jiang Jiyun asked impatiently, "Brother, what exactly happened?"

Jiang Jiyuan looked at his sister and explained with a solemn expression, "Our people have already discovered that there are enemy agents infiltrated in the water plant, power plant, and security regiment here. However, we don't have conclusive evidence yet, so we haven't taken any action."

As he spoke, Jiang Jiyuan took out a pretty dress from his bag, which he had bought especially for his sister.

He held the dress up against Jiang Jiyun and said with a smile, "Little sister, you'll look really good in this."

Jiang Jiyun's mind was not on the skirt at all. She continued to ask, "So when the loudspeakers in the city blared today, did it mean that those people were about to take action?"

Jiang Jiyuan nodded and said seriously, "That's right. I estimate that those people will be desperate and might make a move tonight."

After hearing her brother's words, Jiang Jiyun finally turned her gaze to the dress in his hand.

However, when she saw the dress clearly, a look of astonishment, as if she had been struck by lightning, immediately appeared on her face.

Her eyes widened, her mouth slightly open, as if she wanted to say something, but then she was speechless for a moment.

After a long while, she finally managed to ask with difficulty, "Brother, did you pick this dress out especially for me?"

Jiang Jiyuan, oblivious to his sister's odd behavior, replied smugly, "Yes! Isn't it beautiful? These red and green colors are so festive!"

Looking at her brother's excited expression, Jiang Jiyun couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness.

She took a deep breath, trying to keep her tone calm, then took a few steps back with a look of firm refusal and said, "Brother, what kind of plant do you think I'll look like in this dress?"

Jiang Jiyuan was a little confused by his sister's question. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "Like what? Of course, like a pretty little girl!"

Jiang Jiyun's lips twitched slightly, and she said with a wry smile, "Brother, take another look. Don't I look like a carrot with leaves on when I wear this dress?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jiyuan subconsciously looked down at the skirt in her hand and began to imagine what a carrot looked like.

Suddenly, he saw his sister take out a carrot meant for the rabbit. The carrot was orange-red all over, with a few bright green leaves on top, and it was almost the same color as the dress in his hand.

Jiang Jiyuan looked at the radish, then at the skirt in her hand, and suddenly fell silent.

He realized that his sister seemed to be right; the color and style of the dress did indeed resemble a carrot.

Seeing this, Jiang Jiyun quickly seized the opportunity and said, "Brother, look how suitable this dress is for An'an! Take it back for her to wear and see if she still recognizes you as her father."

Jiang Jiyuan smiled somewhat awkwardly, muttering, "It's not as bad as you say..."

However, he obediently put the little skirt away and stopped insisting that Jiang Jiyun wear it.

Jiang Jiyun walked lightly to the door, locked it, then took her brother's hand and they entered the space together.

Upon entering the space, Jiang Jiyuan saw rows of clothes racks filled with all kinds of princess dresses, each with its own unique colors and styles.

Jiang Jiyuan's gaze lingered on these dresses. He noticed that some dresses were inlaid with glittering sequins, some were decorated with exquisite lace and bows, and some had skirts that bloomed like flowers, making them breathtakingly beautiful.

He couldn't help but think of the so-called most fashionable dress he had bought for a dollar, which was worlds apart from these beautiful princess dresses.

A surge of anger welled up inside him, and he couldn't help but complain, "They said they went through a lot of trouble to bring this back from the big city to sell, so it's definitely something that can't be sold. They're just trying to trick me into buying it!"
