In my 40s, the trading system took me flying

People on the street immediately hid in the houses, then went into the tunnels, and then ran into the mountains along the tunnels.

Xu Xiaoya and the others were also caught by Xu's father and his men and taken back to the tunnel.

Explosion after explosion turned the town, which had just regained some vitality, into ruins.

After the plane in the sky disappeared, people came out of the tunnel one after another. Looking at the ruins with smoking smoke, everyone's face was full of anger.

Why?

Why does God let those animals live so well?

Xu Xiaoya knew that this was the difference in military strength. They could not even equip themselves with millet and rifles on the ground, while others already had planes and cannons.

Their town had just become a little famous, but they were bombarded with a few artillery shells, and all their efforts were wiped out.

No one is not sad.

It simply doesn't give ordinary people a way to survive.

The people in the town quickly accepted the result and began to count the heads one by one and calculate the casualties. Fortunately, the tunnels were dug deep and crossed many times, so except for those injured by the explosion, no one died.

This is a blessing in disguise.

Xu Xiaoya knew that this was really lucky, and a large part of this luck came from the fact that the attack power of those shells was not that strong. If in the previous life, the shells could have penetrated into the ground and exploded, then their town would definitely not have survived.

She had a system and a space, but she had no way to use them publicly because none of the big figures she knew had fully grown up at this time, and even if they had grown up, they had not yet fully formed new social ideas.

Some sufferings must be experienced before one can slowly transform.

All Xu Xiaoya could do was hide well, try to exchange more supplies, and make sure to help as many people as possible. After all, with the approach of the Japanese, the days ahead would be even more difficult.

"The town can't hold any more people, let's go into the mountains!"

The town had experienced two bombings, and everyone in Huaishu Village sat together to discuss what to do next.

The city is full of Japanese devils and there are battles everywhere. If they want to survive, they must take advantage of their own strengths.

Their so-called advantage is their identity as hunters and their understanding of the mountains.

The Japanese will not abandon the city to attack the vagrants in the mountains.

"But are we going to give up on this part of town?"

Some people are unwilling to accept this. The town is the gateway. If it is really controlled by the Japanese, even if they hide in the mountains, will they never come out in their entire lives?

"No, we still have to leave people in the town, but we won't do business. We'll just keep an eye on it. If the Japs come, we'll fight them. If they drop explosives from the sky, we'll hide!"

Anyway, there are many tunnels dug, so there is no need to worry about them being destroyed.

They have plenty of time, enough to dig tunnels.

"Besides, we can grow crops in the mountains. If we continue like this, we will starve to death even if the Japanese don't bomb us!"

You can hunt in the mountains, but people cannot eat only meat, they still need to beg for food.

Although the harvest from growing crops in the mountains is not much, the seeds are good.

Now Old Lady Xu has almost become the backbone of Huaishu Village. She stepped forward and set the tone, and the elderly, weak, sick and disabled went into the mountains to open up wasteland and grow crops to ensure supply.

The young and middle-aged men patrolled the town and were ready to fight at any time. Of course, the fields in the town also had to be planted with crops. As long as the Japanese were not watching, they could still harvest some food.

Once everything is arranged, start taking action.

Before the Japanese invaders were defeated, Huaishu Village had only 33 households, but now it has expanded to 300 households.

This is not a small number, thousands of people.

Eating, drinking, defecating and urinating are all matters.

However, these things have nothing to do with Xu Xiaoya. She is now being taken by Old Lady Xu to transfer important supplies and food under the cover of night.

Even at this time, Old Mrs. Xu did not allow Xu Xiaoya to tell anyone else about the space.

So the grandfather and grandson could only transfer secretly.

"There's not much food left. Can you still exchange for food?"

Old Mrs. Xu looked at the place where the food was stored and found that it was not enough for a month's food.

This is because everyone puts their food here, which is like eating from a big pot.

Xu Xiaoya sighed: "We can change it, but we don't have much of what we need!"

Trading system, you still have to trade to exchange for food, right?

In the past two years, Xu Xiaoya has tried almost everything that can be exchanged, but unfortunately the things she can exchange for are limited, and she has also figured out the rules of the trading system.

To put it simply, it is a transaction based on the purchasing power of the items provided by both parties in the other party's time and space.

Old Mrs. Xu is very worried.

In the past, trading was a random act, relying on luck every time. Now that I can choose the trading category, I find that they themselves don’t have anything good.

"Oh, by the way, I remember exchanging a set of jewelry from your dowry for a lot of food. Maybe artwork and handicrafts are worth more!"

Xu Xiaoya's reminder made Old Mrs. Xu realize it.

Yes.

They are in the mountains. Although gold and silver are hard to come by, there are always some skilled craftsmen who can make a lot of good things. At most, they can do some carpentry work, as long as it looks good!

Just do it.

Old Mrs. Xu asked her second daughter-in-law to embroider a handkerchief, and asked her third son to make a set of wooden boxes, and asked Xu Xiaoya to take them to trade.

Sure enough, they exchanged for a lot of food.

After this method worked, Old Lady Xu organized the women to embroider and the men to make handicrafts.

With this thing, Xu Xiaoya exchanged for a lot of food, but she didn't give it out directly. She was afraid of being targeted, so she asked Xu's father to drive the ox cart out of the town every time, go around and bring the things back.

In this case, the town really cannot be lost, after all, it is very important.

At least the items traded need to be retrieved through reasonable means.

Although life is difficult for the Xu family, they are strong enough to hold on.

However, Aunt Xu's family, who lived far away in the provincial capital, were not so lucky. They had suffered a lot since they were captured by Yamamoto. Second Uncle and his family originally wanted to take the white tiger skin to exchange for people, but they found that Old Lady Xu and his family had sent a message saying that they had escaped, so they closed the shop and hid.

The provincial capital was in chaos. Yamamoto came back and found that Midori had disappeared. He killed many people in order to find his daughter.

In addition, there were some rebels causing trouble, but Aunt Xu and her son did not die and they escaped back.

She thought she would be safe when she returned home, but Aunt Xu found out that her husband had a mistress. She was almost mad to death and had a fight with her husband. In the end, she compromised for the sake of life.

Aunt Xu was beaten by her husband, and her son also begged her not to make trouble. She held her breath and accepted that there were several more women in the family. This was not the most annoying thing.

The most annoying thing is that Erni, who was originally intended to be given to Xu's father for adoption, was actually chosen by Yamamoto and taken back to be a substitute for Midori.

I don’t know what Erni was thinking, she actually asked Aunt Xu to be by her side to protect her.

For a time, Aunt Xu became the most powerful person. In order to please Aunt Xu, her husband turned into a good man again and sent away all the mistresses at home.

Not to mention how Aunt Xu got herself proud and dealt with her scumbag husband, the first thing Erni thought of after turning over a new leaf was to find Xu Xiaoya's grandfather's family.

She knew too well what that family was capable of.

She took advantage of the reborn person's advantage. Even though she knew that the Japanese would definitely leave in the future, their world would be theirs for many years to come. If she wanted to please Yamamoto and gain a foothold in front of the Japanese, she had to do something.

So when Erni suggested to Yamamoto that she should help him persuade some big families in the provincial capital, Yamamoto thought she was joking, but thinking that he couldn't find Midori, he let her do it.

While Erni was trying hard to please Yamamoto, she did not forget to secretly ask Xu Dagu to kill Xu Xiaoya.

Xu Xiaoya didn't know all this.

If she knew that Erni still wanted to kill her, she would run to the provincial capital and kill Erni first. The damn plot would not let her go.

One day, Xu Xiaoya was shooting a flying pheasant with a slingshot when she heard Xu Shier calling her, "Xiaoya, come back quickly! Your mother is about to give birth!"

This shout scared Xu Xiaoya so much that the slingshot in her hand missed the target. The pheasant she had caught flew away. She was so depressed.

But compared to these, it was nothing. Her mother was about to give birth and she had to rush back.

Xu Xiaoya stuffed the slingshot into her bag and shouted to Xiao Shitou and the others, "I'm going to go back and take a look first. You guys have fun!"

The friends also ran towards the village.

At this time, Xu's mother had already gone into labor. Since she went into labor ahead of schedule, many things were not prepared. Fortunately, Xu Xiaoya had already prepared a pre-delivery kit for mothers, so that she would not be left without anything when the baby was born.

Xu Xiaoya caught up with Xu Twelve and said, "Brother, what's going on? Isn't my mother still giving birth in three more months?"

How could it not be the due date?

And isn't this too long in advance?

Xu Twelve shook his head. "I don't know what happened, but I know someone sent a letter to your mother. After reading it, your aunt turned pale, and then she was about to give birth!"

He is a child and the information he can know is limited.

Xu Xiaoya didn't expect Xu Shier to give her too much information, so she rushed back home and looked for Old Lady Xu.

Fortunately, Old Mrs. Xu was at home. She had given birth to four sons herself, and she had delivered all the daughters-in-law in the family, so she was very experienced.

This will still be worrying.

It’s not that I’m worried that Xu’s mother won’t be able to give birth. After all, the baby is only seven months old. Even if her belly is well developed, it will be difficult to raise the baby because it is too small.

The child may not survive.

As soon as Xu Xiaoya rushed into the room, she was chased out by Old Lady Xu: "Why is a child in the delivery room? Get out!"

Xu Xiaoya didn't care about anything else and held her mother's hand: "Grandma, I'm not afraid. What happened to my mother? Why did she suddenly attack?"

There are two daughters-in-law helping in the house, and the remaining three daughters-in-law are helping to boil water in the kitchen.

The most lacking thing during childbirth is hot water.

Old Mrs. Xu knew that she couldn't persuade Xu Xiaoya, and she didn't have time to care about her, so she could only find an excuse.

"Go find your father! He can't be away when your mother gives birth. Remember, little girl, whether your mother can survive depends on whether your father can get back in time!"

Old Mrs. Xu took a look at Xu's mother's belly and suddenly said this to Xu Xiaoya.
