In my 40s, the trading system took me flying

"What's going on?"

Old Mrs. Xu looked so serious that her eldest daughter-in-law trembled and cried even harder.

"Mom, my brother is here to report the death!"

It turned out that the eldest daughter-in-law's mother had died, and as a daughter, she had to go back to attend the funeral.

Old Mrs. Xu did not delay. She prepared the things and took out the mourning clothes and asked Xu Dazhui to bring his three sons to accompany his wife.

You can choose not to attend a wedding, but you cannot choose not to attend a funeral.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, Eighth Brother, this is the powder for you. It can stun a cow. If you run into the Japs, just sprinkle some on them!"

Xu Xiaoya secretly prepared good things for her three brothers.

The three brothers were very happy, but they were going to attend a funeral, so they didn't say much and drove their donkeys out of the village.

Xu Xiaoya held her pounding heart and looked at Old Lady Xu: "Grandma, I have something to say!"

Old Mrs. Xu looked at her doubtfully: "Big brother and his family may not be doing well at the funeral this time!"

Because of Xu Xiaoya's sudden seriousness, combined with her previous bad mouth, Old Mrs. Xu's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately asked her second son to give the two box guns to Xu Dazhui and her eldest grandson.

Although this thing makes a lot of noise, it can save your life at critical moments.

Xu Dazhu told his son to quickly hide the box gun. They had only practiced with this good thing a few times. If the bullets were not so precious, who wouldn't want to have a good shot?

"Mom, don't worry, we will definitely do it!"

Xu Dazhu was going to attend a funeral and didn't dare show too much happiness for fear of upsetting his wife.

Ever since her son and grandson left, Xu Xiaoya was left at home by Old Lady Xu: "Do you know something that others don't know?"

Xu Xiaoya shook her head. "That was just intuition! Grandma, you understand, right?"

Old Lady Xu knocked her granddaughter on the forehead and said, "You're just scaring people. Go burn some incense at our ancestors' place and ask them to bless your uncle and the others to return safely!"

Not to mention Old Lady Xu's mumbling, Xu Xiaoya was thinking about another problem: what to eat today?

In the world of children, eating still comes first.

Because Marshal Hu was fighting the Japanese, Huaishu Village was relatively peaceful. It always felt like the calm before the storm. Excessive beauty is a kind of horror.

But these worries have no effect on Xu Xiaoya.

For three consecutive days, Huaishu Village was very quiet. Xu Dazhui and his family, who had gone to attend the funeral, had not returned. Old Mrs. Xu was pacing around the village entrance with some worry.

"Mom, my brother and the others are just going to attend the funeral, it won't be a big deal!"

Xu Erzhu once again saw his mother circling at the village entrance and had to remind her.

Old Mrs. Xu waved her hands: "You don't understand, what do you understand! I'm not worried about the funeral, I'm worried..."

Before she finished speaking, Xu Erzhu continued, "There's nothing wrong in the town. I just came back from the town. Besides, all the Japanese soldiers in the county have been mobilized. There are no Japanese soldiers here anymore!"

Obviously, this sentence was not what Old Lady Xu was most concerned about at the moment. She still glanced towards the village entrance from time to time.

"Mom, what's wrong with you? Is there something we don't know?"

Xu Erzhu has never liked to use his brain, so he just does whatever Old Lady Xu tells him to do. But when he saw his mother's appearance today, he felt something was wrong.

Old Mrs. Xu put her hands behind her back and said, "Go home and don't ask questions. Don't you know that curiosity kills the cat?"

Xu Erzhu tutted his words. He didn't ask any more questions, but just reminded Old Lady Xu: "Mom, it's time for dinner, you should go back and eat early!"

Old Mrs. Xu waved her hand and told Xu Erzhu to leave quickly, as she knew she had to go back to eat.

Just when Xu Erzhu took a few steps, he heard his mother scream. He turned around and saw his eldest brother carrying someone on his back, followed by his two nephews and sister-in-law.

"My dear, what's going on?"

Xu Erzhu rushed over to help. Xu Dazhu was really exhausted, so he asked his younger brother to help carry his son.

"On the way back, we ran into a traitor and Erwazi got shot!"

Xu Dazhui's eyes were red, and his eyes were full of heartache when he looked at his second son.

Old Mrs. Xu seemed to have known that an accident would happen. She frowned and asked Xu Erzhu to carry her second grandson back. Fortunately, the wound was not in an important position, but it was on the leg and it was still penetrated. The flesh and blood inside were cooked by the high temperature of the bullet and became rotten.

I have to say it was lucky. If the bullet had exploded inside the body, Erwazi's leg would probably have been broken.

The doctor from the town has moved to Huaishu Village and was invited over. After checking the situation, he said that the rotten flesh should be dug out and then it all depends on luck.

After all, the next thing is to see whether you can survive the infection. If you can't, you will die.

Old Mrs. Xu asked the doctor to treat her grandson's wound first, and she called Xu Xiaoya back to her room.

Without being told by Old Lady Xu, Xu Xiaoya found the anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics, as well as gauze and iodine.

The medicine was given to Erwazi after the doctor left. Iodine and gauze were used directly. When cleaning the wound, it is necessary to kill the bacteria as much as possible.

While waiting, Xu Dazhu recounted what happened.

Originally, Old Lady Xu asked them to take the box gun back to attend the funeral, thinking that something might have happened at the funeral. However, she never expected that the accident did not happen at the funeral, but on the way back.

The dog traitor was going to the city to join the Japanese and wanted to reveal what was happening in the town. He happened to meet Xu Dazhui. Because the dog traitor had a foreign gun in his hand, Xu Dazhui and his eldest son did not intend to kill anyone at first. It was the dog traitor who shot at the unarmed Xu Erzhui in order to escape.

"Where's that bastard?"

How could Xu Erzhu and his brothers sit still? Anyone who dared to hurt someone in their family was courting death.

Xu Dazhu spat, "Killed him, handed him over to the patrol and sent him to Uncle Niu's blacksmith shop!"

This is to grind bones and scatter ashes.

Even though they knew the person was dead, Xu Erzhu and the others were still angry.

I always feel unsatisfied.

This incident also reminded them that not all people in the town were united in fighting the Japanese to the end.

It is too easy to be a traitor. As long as they are not the ones who die, it doesn’t matter even if everyone else dies.

"Erzhu, go to the town and tell your father to investigate one by one to see how many people are willing to become traitors. Arrest them all and bring them back to enforce the clan rules!"

After experiencing this incident, Old Mrs. Xu also made up her mind to clean up.

Even though the person had been dealt with, everyone still felt a chill in their hearts. If Xu Dazhu had not encountered him today, if the traitor had really told the Japanese what happened in the town.

Wouldn’t all the arrangements in the town be discovered?

Not to mention other things, if the dug tunnel is blocked by someone, the consequences are unimaginable. They will definitely be blocked in the tunnel. Even if no one goes in to catch them, they will all starve to death in the tunnel in a few days.

Beast, worse than a beast.

Xu Erzhu went down the mountain to convey his mother's thoughts, and the house was filled with Erwazi's screams.

Xu Xiaoya peeked out the door and was pulled back by her mother, who forbade her to look any further.

"Mom, have you lost weight recently?"

Xu Xiaoya rarely focused her attention on her biological mother, but she found that her mother did not look very well after taking off her winter clothes.

Logically speaking, it is not the place for a little kid like Xu Xiaoya to worry about such things as caring about adults, but she tried hard to forget that she is a mature soul, but she still couldn't pretend not to see it.

Pregnant women tend to overthink things. Recently, the Japanese devils have been popping up from time to time, and the whole village is extremely nervous, let alone pregnant women.

"It's okay, I just can't eat because I'm pregnant!"

Xu's mother didn't take it seriously. She just helped Xu Xiaoya tidy up her messed-up clothes and rubbed her hair.

The mother and daughter didn't communicate much on weekdays. Xu Xiaoya spent most of her time with Old Lady Xu, which exacerbated the indifference.

Xu Xiaoya held her hair down. After she took off her hat, everyone loved to touch her hair. She had a face like a lucky doll, but her hair was soft and smooth, unlike the dry straw-like hair of other children.

The result is naturally that everyone likes to touch her hair.

In her previous life, she suffered from severe hair loss due to the pressure of studying, and what she worried about most was the amount of her hair.

"Mom, I've told you many times not to touch my hair. What if it falls off?"

Xu Xiaoya pouted and protested in dissatisfaction. Mother Xu was amused. She patted Xu Xiaoya on the forehead and said, "Okay, okay, I won't touch your hair anymore. Go play with Xiao Shitou and the others. Your second brother will probably be in this state for a while!"

Digging flesh, how can it not hurt?

Xu Xiaoya really couldn't bear to hear her second brother's screams. Although she wanted to help, anesthetics were controlled drugs. Even if there was space, perhaps because she was not a doctor and it was assumed that the era she lived in was a famine era, most of the items that could be traded were daily necessities and weapons.

The medicines were saved up over the past two years.

Not much.

Fortunately, Xu Xiaoya was not really heartless. She went into the house and gave the candy in her pocket to her second brother.

"When it hurts, eat some candy and it will go away!"

Patting her second brother's arm like a little adult, Xu Xiaoya went out to play.

The second brother looked at the candy in his hand and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was already fourteen years old, but the little girl still treated him like a child.

The older brother next to him took a candy and said, "Such delicious candy, only the little girl wouldn't treat it as a treasure!"

Everyone in the family knows that Xu Xiaoya is always hungry for snacks, especially candies.

The two brothers looked at each other and both knew that this candy was not bought outside and could not be bought. It was obtained by Xu Xiaoya in a transaction with her ancestor.

If it weren't for Xu Xiaoya, they might have died long ago.

Thinking about today's experience, a seed of becoming stronger was planted in the hearts of the two brothers.

Xu Xiaoya had no idea that her two brothers were going to become stronger because of her. When she saw Xiao Shitou lying on the ground with his butt sticking up, she went over to take a look and screamed.

This frightened Xiao Shitou. He hurried to check what was wrong with Xu Xiaoya, but Xu Xiaoya waved her hands repeatedly to tell him not to move.

"If you dare to come over here, I won't recognize you as my grandson!"
