For a moment, Xu Xiaoya was a little dazed. She didn't know whether it was right or wrong to burn down the dilapidated temple.

This place can provide shelter from wind and rain for passers-by, which can be regarded as the mercy of Buddha, but burning this place down is also to save people.

Buddha shouldn't blame me.

The eldest sister saw Xu Xiaoya's actions, and naturally saw the clay Buddha in the firelight. She clasped her hands together and muttered, "Amitabha!"

I secretly vowed in my heart that once my life settled down, I would definitely enshrine a Buddha statue.

This is for the sake of this clay Buddha.

The journey back was not very smooth. One reason was that the woman in white had just given birth and was very weak. Moreover, she had been injured before. She gritted her teeth and walked for a while but could not walk anymore.

There was no other way, so Xu's father and Xu Dazhu took turns carrying the person, the eldest sister helped hold the child, and Xu Xiaoya walked together hand in hand with the girl.

Because two women, two men, and three children.

They simply disguised themselves as a couple along the way so that no one would suspect them.

But when they arrived at a town, Xu Xiaoya couldn't stand it anymore. Her feet were sore from walking, so she pulled her father Xu and said, "Dad, let's go buy some food!"

She's going into this town.

Father Xu loved his daughter, so he naturally agreed to her request. He immediately told Xu Dazhui and the two women to go to the town to buy some food and come back.

In fact, the two of them just walked around the town and came back with an old cow and a cart.

Looking at the fat and strong old cow, Xu Dazhu silently asked Xu Xiaoya: "Did our ancestors give it to you?"

Xu Xiaoya nodded.

This was also lucky. Today, when Xu Xiaoya was routinely refreshing the system, she happened to see a scalper that could be traded. How could she let it go? Not only did she exchange everything she could, she also exchanged two cows and placed them in the space so that she could milk them at any time.

There are many children in the family. Although they can hunt and eat some meat from time to time, they are actually very malnourished. What's more, there is not only a little Fourteen, but now there is another baby, and she also needs to drink milk to grow.

In short, cows are necessary!

Seeing the ox cart, the elder sister and the woman in white were very excited. At least they didn’t have to worry about tiring their feet.

Several children and the woman in white were sitting on the ox cart, and Xu's father and others took turns driving the cart. No matter how honest the ox was, it couldn't be tired to death!

With the meat buns that Xu Xiaoya took out, several people wolfed them down and finally replenished most of the energy they had consumed. It felt like they had survived a disaster.

However, they still encountered several roadblocks on the way. They were very nervous every time because their ox carts were very conspicuous. Fortunately, they were all dressed very casually and had some food stuffed in, so they managed to get through smoothly.

"These Zhou Paopi, if we hadn't brought our children and women with us, I think they would have been able to steal our ox cart!"

Xu Dazhu was very unhappy.

According to his personality, he should have killed those bastards who blocked his way long ago, but unfortunately he could only endure it now.

"There's nothing we can do. The Japanese recently captured another city. These fake foreign devils are extremely arrogant and are arresting revolutionaries everywhere!"

The eldest sister sighed and said that Xu Xiaoya did not understand the overall situation, but she knew that if the Japanese continued to win, even if they would be driven away in a few years, the lives of ordinary people would be very difficult in the years in between.

"We can't let them continue to be so arrogant."

Xu Xiaoya had an immature idea. She knew that the Japanese's greatest strength was their weapons, while the revolutionaries' greatest weakness was their lack of weapons. She clearly had a way to transport the weapons, and if she didn't do something, she would definitely regret it.

She began to think secretly in her mind, but she didn't plan to say it out loud for the time being. Instead, she sat quietly, thinking about discussing it with her grandmother after returning home.

After finally returning to the town at the foot of the mountain, Xu's father purchased some food. Of course, it was traded by Xu Xiaoya, but he took a detour to get it back.

When they arrived at the town, the patrolmen had already spotted them and came to meet them immediately.

"Uncle, why did you take so long to go out this time? Everyone is getting worried!"

Xu Dawa was running in front. He reached out and picked up Xu Xiaoya. Xu Xiaoya stuffed a piece of candy into his mouth.

Xu Dawa was so happy that he kept grinning foolishly.

After greeting the others, Father Xu told Xu Dawa, "Something happened this time, so the food we can buy is limited. You should save it. I'll go out again in a few days. Life outside is not easy right now, and it's hard to harvest the food!"

Xu Dawa responded, picked up Xu Xiaoya and went to call for help to move the food.

Xu Dazhu was speechless and complained to his father: "This kid almost doesn't even care about me as his father!"

Father Xu laughed dryly: "Brother, don't say that. Da Wa is still young. He only feels relieved when he sees that you are fine!"

Having said that, Xu Dazhu still felt uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the town had become a base for revolutionaries, and their leader came to greet them. Father Xu told him about the woman in white and his eldest sister. The leader of the base would definitely give them a warm welcome.

When the two women learned that this was the base of the revolutionaries, they were terrified at first, but they soon realized that it was safe. An organization that could kill the Japanese devils would definitely not betray them.

Naturally, someone arranged for the two women and their children to rest, while Xu Dazhu went to find someone to chat with. Xu's father accompanied the person in charge and told him about what he had seen and heard outside, focusing on the Japanese devils' arrest of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners.

The person in charge was also very angry, but their influence was too small now and they could only attract limited talents. In addition, their purpose had always been to serve the people and they did not take a single needle or thread from the masses, which led to their poverty.

Those doctors also need to eat. They can't charge high prices and don't even have basic guarantees.

"Even though we can't bring everyone here, they are all our compatriots, so we still have to save them."

When the person in charge heard that these doctors would be sent abroad, he could not remain indifferent and immediately arranged for people to discuss ways to see if they could save them.

At this point, Xu's father could no longer participate, so he said he wanted to go back to the village to see his family.

Xu Xiaoya was following Xu Dawa, and Chunmiao next to her stuffed a bag of wild fruits into her hands.

When Xu's father came over, he saw Xu Xiaoya happily praising Xu Dawa to Chunmiao, and it seemed that he knew how to be a matchmaker at such a young age.

"Dad, can we go back now?"

When Xu Xiaoya saw Xu's father, she knew that he should have finished dealing with his business and was thinking about returning to the valley because she missed her grandma.

Xu Dawa carried Xu Xiaoya on his neck: "Uncle, I'm going back with you!"

Father Xu glanced at Chunmiao, and Chunmiao also expressed her desire to go back together. She came down the mountain this time just to deliver a letter.

On the way back, Xu Xiaoya suddenly remembered something and poked Xu Dawa who was carrying her.

"Brother, did grandma tell you that she has already discussed the engagement with Chunmiao's mother?"
