In my 40s, the trading system took me flying

When Old Mrs. Xu woke up from her sleep, she saw her granddaughter's worried face. She held Xu Xiaoya in her arms.

"My dear grandson, are you scared?"

Xu Xiaoya shook her head.

She was indeed frightened, but not terrified.

"You are such a good grandson of grandma, nothing will happen to you!"

Old Mrs. Xu praised Xu Xiaoya, then looked at Xu's father.

"Where are you?"

Father Xu looked back and said, "We've only been walking for an hour. It's still early to get to the provincial capital!"

Along the way, they walked on village roads and not official roads. They didn't encounter any roadblocks, but the road was difficult to walk on.

Old Mrs. Xu looked around, glanced at her daughter Erni who was curled up quietly in the corner, and asked Father Xu to find a place to park and eat something. The key point was that she had been lying down for an hour and was tired and wanted to take care of her physiological needs.

Xu Xiaoya was taken by Old Lady Xu to a distant place to relieve herself. Xu Xiaoya took the opportunity to ask Old Lady Xu: "Grandma, there is another person in the space. Can we keep him there forever?"

Although the man was unconscious, when he was taken in, he was in a state of breathing in less and out more.

Old Lady Xu hummed, "We can't let him out now. We have no way to save him. It's freezing in here. If we let him out, won't he die?"

Xu Xiaoya thought it was the same thing, but she didn’t know how to explain it later.

"Don't worry, when we get to the provincial capital, we'll find a doctor to see him. Whether he can survive depends on his luck!"

Old Mrs. Xu sighed, helped Xu Xiaoya put on her clothes, and then carried her back to the carriage.

Father Xu glanced at Erni in the corner, then looked at Old Mrs. Xu for help.

Old Mrs. Xu had no choice but to take her to the toilet again.

"Little girl, Daddy is asking you, did you get a good treasure from our ancestors? I can't just give you milk, I'm your biological father!"

Father Xu was excited when he heard about the crossbow. You know, ever since he saw his eldest nephew kill two lackeys with a crossbow last time, he has always wanted such a small crossbow that can be tied to the wrist. It is simply a weapon for self-defense.

Xu Xiaoya shook her head: "I only got one in exchange, I gave it to grandma, if you want one, ask grandma!"

After hearing this, Xu's father became dispirited. He wanted to do it, but he didn't dare.

He still knew his mother's temper, so he could only make a reservation to Xu Xiaoya again: "My dear daughter, next time when you can exchange things with the ancestors, can you help me ask, I also want one, and I will definitely prepare something!"

Xu Xiaoya didn't believe it.

She was very clear about her father's abilities. If he had great abilities, he would not be suppressed and dealt with by her grandmother.

But I thought that once we got to the provincial capital, Father Xu might be of some use, since he had lived there after all.

"Then take me to find grandpa, and I'll help you get one!"

When Xu Xiaoya put forward her conditions, Xu's father's face turned pale.

"You don't have any grandpa, your mother is an orphan!"

Don't look too guilty. Xu Xiaoya was too lazy to say anything to him. He couldn't even pretend, so how could he have the nerve to point out such an obvious flaw?

Rolling her eyes at him, Xu Xiaoya patted her father on the shoulder and said, "Dad, I'm the spokesperson for our ancestors. Are you sure I don't know your little thoughts? And my mother's personality and behavior are not something that ordinary people can raise. And I can help Grandpa!"

Father Xu suddenly remembered that Xu Xiaoya could exchange things. If all the treasures in his father-in-law's hands were exchanged for other things, wouldn't it be safe?

At least you won't risk being targeted by others.

Seeing that her father had softened his stance, Xu Xiaoya added fuel to the fire: "You've already married my mother, and my grandmother has moved to the provincial capital. Given my aunt's personality, how could she not go to my grandfather and tell him about these two things?"

Father Xu waved his hand: "Your aunt doesn't know what's going on with your mother!"

Xu Xiaoya stretched out her tone: "You really lied to me!"

Father Xu:......

The child is too smart and some things are hard to deal with. He is even smarter than his mother.

"Okay, okay, I'll take you there, but I can't tell your grandma or your mom. Your mom doesn't want to bother with your grandpa!"

Father Xu didn't even ask Xu Xiaoya how she knew about the situation at his father-in-law's family, and even how she could tell him about the good stuff.

It seems that he has a natural trust in Xu Xiaoya's foresight.

It happened that Old Lady Xu brought Erni back, so the father and daughter did not continue the topic. Instead, they made a fire, baked a few pancakes they brought with them, and boiled some snow water in the small clay pot they carried with them. They had a very simple meal.

Xu Xiaoya doesn't need to eat these. The fried noodle paste that Old Lady Xu made for her is made by frying wheat, grinding it into flour, adding sesame seeds, peanuts and sugar, and mixing it with boiling water. It can be drunk as a paste, or made into fried noodle fish to eat!

On weekdays they usually eat oily fish noodles. Today, because it was cold and Xu Xiaoya didn't like to drink water, Old Lady Xu made it into a paste for her. Xu Xiaoya took the bowl and drank it all. Old Lady Xu scraped off the paste on the top with a pancake and ate it.

Father Xu and Nicole Er were not treated so well. They could only eat dry and hard biscuits and some pickles.

Old Lady Xu's obvious favoritism made Erni's eyes warm, not out of emotion but jealousy.

After eating, Xu Xiaoya felt sleepy and fell asleep in Old Lady Xu's arms. Erni could only continue to curl up in the cart while Xu's father continued to drive.

This time I met some fellow villagers who were on their way. They would give me a ride if they could, but if it was really not on their way, there was nothing they could do.

By the time we arrived at a town, it was already dark.

Old Mrs. Xu used some cakes to exchange for a room with a fellow villager. As for the horse, it was a bit difficult to deal with. There were almost no people raising horses in the town, but there were people raising donkeys. She asked someone to exchange some hay for the horse, and the day ended.

Although she was nervous along the way, Xu Xiaoya knew that it was still safe for the time being. She just didn't know what was going on in Dahuangzhuang.

She had no idea that after they left, the people in Dahuang Village did not burn the bodies directly, but instead cut them with a guillotine and piled them together. After dark, they set fire to all the houses in Dahuang Village. Everyone walked into the mountains with their families into the night.

There was no way, they would be discovered wherever they went, except in the deep mountains where there were wild beasts everywhere and those little Japanese devils would not really look for them.

Only the elderly people in the village stayed.

"We are old, so we should stay here to help them vent their anger, otherwise we will bring trouble to the surrounding villages!"

The elderly are the kind that can't walk and will die sooner or later, so it can be considered a contribution to the village.

The old people sat at the entrance of the village, leaning on their crutches, waiting for the Japanese to come.

But the next day, when the lackeys and the Japanese soldiers appeared in Dahuangzhuang at dawn, they saw a row of old men and women leaning on crutches, frozen to death at the entrance of the village, while the village behind them was still rising with smoke, and not a single house was intact.

Even the lackeys were a little scared.

They had killed people and did not treat them as human beings, but when they saw the scene before them, their already rotten souls still trembled violently.

"Taijun, don't touch them!"

When the lackey saw the Japanese officer draw his samurai sword and was about to chop off the heads of those old men, he shouted in time.

"Baga, you want to betray the Emperor?"
