The whole family stocked up on supplies two years in advance, so they could live a life of luxury wh

Da Liang.

Summer has arrived, and the cicadas in the willow trees are chirping incessantly. Everyone is sweating profusely from the heat, and the farmers working in the fields have drunk their fill of water from the earthenware jars.

Suddenly.

A beam of white light fell on the thatched roof of the poorest family in Xinghua Village, the Li family.

Li family.

Kitchen.

An elderly woman, wearing long sleeves that were worn as short sleeves, with faded cuffs and many pills, sat in front of the stove tending the fire. She said with concern:

"Xing'er has been spoiled by you all. Our family is so poor, yet we still make sure she only eats one egg every seven days. It's delicious, but the Nan family is coming to break off the engagement tomorrow."

Just as Zhang was about to say something, her throat started to itch again. After coughing a few times, she covered her chest and sighed:

"She was in poor health from a young age, and it only got better as she grew older. Her father and I inevitably favored her a bit."

The old woman was somewhat indignant upon hearing this:

"It's because you didn't teach her needlework, and you let her go up the mountain to catch birds and down the river to catch fish every day. She doesn't do any work and has a terrible temper. I heard she kicked the village chief's dog yesterday, and I couldn't say anything when he came to me."

Zhang said helplessly:

"She's a bit headstrong, but she'll get better with time. Mother, the Nan family said they want to break off the engagement. Why do they want to break it off?"

The old woman used tongs to pull out a few pieces of firewood from the stove to extinguish the flames, then frowned and said:

"Why do you think that is? First, she can't do any housework; second, she loves to eat; and third, she's stubborn. I heard that she met with that boy from the Nan family yesterday and beat him up. This morning, he insisted on breaking off the engagement."

"This...this engagement can't be called off! If it's called off, who would dare marry Xing'er? This...this would be the death of Xing'er!"

"No, no, I have to go and talk to the Nan family."

Xing'er, standing outside, looked completely bewildered.

She was busy reading when she suddenly found herself in a place that felt both strange and familiar. She stood up and looked around; it resembled an ancient village, with low thatched houses everywhere.

They were also wearing coarse linen clothes.

There were still people digging in the fields with hoes.

She didn't understand what had happened.

next moment.

A group of ancient soldiers rushed into the village from the entrance, grabbing women, chickens, ducks, and cattle, just like Japanese soldiers invading the village. The peaceful scene just moments before turned into chaos.

She was frozen in place, like an outsider.

She watched helplessly as a group of ancient soldiers with spears stormed into the farmhouse where she lived.

The leading soldier rushed in, ransacking and smashing everything. Seeing that no one was in the main room, he ran to the kitchen, where he happened to meet an old woman and Zhang Shi cooking. The two men, an old woman and a young girl, immediately had a thought.

"You, come out with me."

"What do you want?"

The old woman blocked her daughter-in-law's path aggressively. Seeing this, the leading soldier slammed the back of his knife into her shoulder and cursed, "Get out of my way, old hag, or I'll take you down with me."

Zhang was already frail and sickly, and she timidly hid behind her mother-in-law, her face pale with fear. "What...what are you trying to do?"

next moment.

The leading soldier grabbed Zhang by the collar and dragged her from the kitchen to the yard, where he began to brutally abuse her.

She cried out weakly:

"No, no, no!"

"Mother, save me, save me, Mother!"

Upon hearing this, the old woman grabbed a kitchen knife and rushed outside. Unexpectedly, a soldier stood at the door with a large knife, pointed it at her head, and chopped her head off.

It rolled down to Zhang's feet with a gurgling sound.

Upon seeing this, Zhang cried out in anguish:

"Mother! My mother! Help! Help me!"

"Her dad, help me...!"

pity.

All around her were the same cries and screams.

It was the busy morning farming season, and the men were all working in the fields. Only the elderly, women, and children were at home. The wailing cries of the women and girls around them almost echoed across the land.

The farmers who were busy in the fields heard the noise and rushed home, but they were discovered by the invading barbarian soldiers on their way back. The barbarian soldiers hacked and killed one ordinary farmer after another.

They kill almost anyone they see.

Just then.

A girl ran into the thatched hut. She looked about sixteen or seventeen years old and looked exactly like Xing'er in modern times.

Xing'er wanted to shout for her to run and escape, but she couldn't make a sound; it felt like her feet were stuck to something.

Xing'er stood there, looking at the tragedy unfolding before her with a pained expression, but no matter how she tried to move, she couldn't. She could only kneel on the ground and cry helplessly.

Suddenly, the girl who looked exactly like her was also captured by the soldiers.

Upon seeing the young woman, the soldiers felt a surge of bloodlust, and their faces contorted in a ferocious expression.

Xing'er, who had run in from outside, struggled fiercely, crying and shouting, "Let go! Let me go! Let me go!"

"Get away! Get away from me!"

"No, no..."

"Ouch...it hurts so much, it hurts so much..."

Just then, Xing'er in the modern era was pushed to the ground by a mysterious force, and her limbs were also unable to move, feeling the pain as if it were her own.

Tears streamed down her face in large drops.

Just when she was feeling helpless, something even more despairing happened.

The two boys from the Li family, Li Dashan and Li Xiaoshan, rushed in from outside the courtyard carrying a carrying pole.

They shouted:

"You bullied my mother, you bullied my sister, I'll fight you to the death!"

The soldiers burst into laughter as they looked at the two little boys who looked like chicks.

"You little brats, you think you're worthy of hurting us?"

The voice just fell.

One of the soldiers raised his broadsword and cleaved Li Dashan in two from head to toe.

Blood was everywhere.

Li Xiaoshan cried out "Big Brother" with all his might, then grabbed a carrying pole and tried to hit the murderer, but he was too weak and the fierce soldier grabbed him by the neck.

Then twist it hard again.

"Click."

Li Xiaoshan tilted his head to the side.

Fresh blood was seeping from the corner of his mouth.

It has lost its vitality.

Seeing this, Xing'er and Zhang Shi, who were lying on the ground, also cried uncontrollably. Their crying annoyed the soldiers, so they picked up their bayonets and stabbed them hard.

This action roused the modern-day Xing'er, who had already fainted from the pain.

"No...no!!!"
