Traveling through 1942 with space

After everything was over, the refugee camp returned to its former bustle.

Hou Xiaoge never expected that just a little bit of compassion would lead to such a farce. It was really infuriating and funny.

But as for regrets, Hou Xiaoge has never thought about it that way. The biggest feeling in his heart is sadness and pity for the common people of this era.

Each of these children is only eight or nine years old, and the youngest is even four or five years old, which is the age of kindergarten or primary school students in later generations, but now they have to struggle to survive.

Even their parents, like Hou Xiaoge's second aunt and younger sister-in-law, are only in their twenties now, which would be just like college graduates in later generations.

Just imagine how sad it is that a young man in his twenties tried his best to fight for a small fish that even dogs would not eat in later generations, but ended up being stripped naked.

Faced with this disaster, Hou Xiaoge, who grew up under compulsory education, inexplicably developed a sense of change and responsibility in his heart.

Sometimes when he was sleeping, Hou Xiaoge wondered whether the ring brought him to this era in order to save these poor people in dire straits.

But the reality is just a thought. After all, Hou Xiaoge's body is only nine years old, and Hou Xiaoge really doesn't understand this world.

Most of the people I have come into contact with in the past few days are illiterate people or farmers, and the most information I have obtained is that this is the Republic of China in a parallel world.

As to whether it was the same Republic of China as his own era, Hou Xiaoge still isn’t sure.

Moreover, when Hou Xiaoge came to this world, the golden finger was just a farming space, not an invincible system.

Therefore, since traveling through time, Hou Xiaoge has been carefully obtaining information from the outside world, hoping to find a future direction for survival while protecting himself, and for this reason he has lived to the extreme.

Take the food we eat recently for example. As a person born in the new century, how can I eat mice, grass roots, tree bark, and even salt?

But in order not to attract attention and to facilitate obtaining information from the outside world, Hou Xiaoge forced himself to eat it.

As for the taste of these things, it is naturally hard to describe.

Eating it all depends on willpower, and swallowing is based on the body's instinct.

Seeing that his brother and family were almost starving to death, Hou Xiaoge started to think about digging a rat hole and getting some rat meat.

In order to find a way to get the money from the landlord, he even pretended to be a ghost, hoping that the adults would be less wary of him and understand the abnormal behavior of a nine-year-old kid.

Including this morning, Hou Xiaoge wanted to exchange some things from the fishermen and get some information at the same time.

But the result was that someone pointed a gun at his head, forced him to beg for mercy and call "master", and in the end he almost knelt down. Which modern person in the future can endure this?

Hou Xiaoge felt ashamed of the time traveler at that time. The time traveler had a golden finger and was as patient as himself. He had almost become a Ninja Turtle.

It was not until he discovered a new spatial ability while eating fish and felt he had a certain ability to protect himself that Hou Xiaoge decided to vent his anger.

Even so, Hou Xiaoge still killed the man and quickly escaped, fearing that he would be discovered.

Therefore, Hou Xiaoge has been walking on thin ice these days, fearing that he would do something that is not in line with this era and thus bring danger to himself and his family.

……

"Hey! Heiwa, what are you doing? Come here and tell you something." Just as Hou Xiaoge's thoughts were in a mess, a shout brought Hou Xiaoge back.

Hou Xiaoge came to his senses and saw that it was his uncle calling him. He pretended to be nervous and walked over carefully.

"Uncle, what's the matter? You, you're not dissatisfied with me for giving the fish to others, are you?" Hou Xiaoge asked pretending to be nervous.

"Don't be afraid, kid. You did the right thing about the fish. A hero needs three helpers. We are fleeing all the way. It is difficult to survive if we eat alone. What we need is for you to help me today and I will help you tomorrow.

Otherwise, the two or three hundred people in our village would not even be able to escape from our township, and would have been eaten by the refugees from other villages and towns without leaving anything behind.

Didn't your Seventh Master praise you too? It's not your child's fault today. It's your Sixth Aunt and her family that are not kind. Don't be afraid, your uncle won't hit you. "Uncle Hou Yangmin smiled and touched Hou Xiaoge's head and said.

Although Hou Xiaoge didn't like people touching his head, he had to endure it because he was short.

"I asked you to come here because I have something to tell you. This afternoon, I asked someone to contact the county's human trafficker and told him about the girls.

The trafficker said he would go to the county to inquire about the affairs of the girls today. If things go well, there will be news about the girls tomorrow." The uncle said with a smile on his face.

"Really?"

Hearing the news that his family might be back, Hou Xiaoge became more energetic and smiled excitedly.

"Speak softly, only you and Erda and a few other adults know about this. I haven't told the other kids, and you shouldn't tell anyone. It could cause trouble if others find out." Uncle Hou Yangmin looked around carefully and warned.

"Oh oh oh! I'll keep my voice down.

By the way, uncle, can that human trafficker be trusted? If not, let’s find a few more human traffickers to ask.” Hou Xiaoge asked cautiously.

"Don't worry about that. This is what the traffickers do for a living. Reputation is very important. And he didn't ask for nothing. He asked me for a dollar as a fee.

As for looking for other people to help, there is no need for that.

These people are all connected to each other, and they all have the same big boss behind them, so we just have to wait and hope for good news tomorrow." Uncle Hou Yangmin said with certainty.

Seeing his uncle's sure look, Hou Xiaoge also felt certain. It seemed that there was hope of finding his sisters back.

"Uncle, what about my mother? Have you asked?" After asking several sisters, Hou Xiaoge asked about her adoptive mother.

"Alas! Your mother sold herself, not through a human trafficker, so it's hard to find out. We can only ask people along the way on our way back." Uncle Hou Yangmin shook his head and sighed.

"Oh! This is the only way." Hou Xiaoge nodded helplessly.

In fact, what Hou Xiaoge wanted to find most was his adoptive mother. After all, with an adult at home, he would feel at ease when he went out in the future.

No matter how close the uncle, Erda and the aunt are, they are only united when they are fleeing famine together. When things settle down, each family will think about their own family, and it will be difficult to treat everyone equally at that time.

The Golden Crow sets in the west and the Jade Rabbit rises in the east, and night soon falls again.

Hou Xiaoge was lying on the still damp bedding, with a lot of thoughts in her mind. Compared with usual days, too many things happened today, making Hou Xiaoge's small body feel very tired.

"Oh! I'd better get some sleep. I have important things to do in the second half of the night!" Looking at the refugees snoring around him, Hou Xiaoge closed his eyes and fell asleep.

I woke up in a daze. The sky was slightly bright. It should be around four o'clock in the morning. Hou Xiaoge used his mental power to explore the surroundings and quickly entered the space.
