*******************************************************************************************************

August 1937, Shanghai.

When Chu Jiao passed the Japanese roadblock in Hongpin District, her bodyguard lowered her head deeply to the sentry, and she couldn't help but do what she did.

No matter how short the Japanese sentry was, or even shorter than Chu Jiao, she lowered her head. Under her pointed hat, she had a pair of cold brown eyes, but she looked at Chu Jiao, who was dressed in a generous manner without expression, or glanced at her disdainfully.

Chu Jiao walked forward, feeling indignation and shame in her heart. The monotonous face of the Japanese soldier was deeply imprinted in her mind. She secretly made up her mind to fight against Japan with a few classmates and go to the free land in the distance. It was not until the bodyguard called her a car that she realized that she had walked dozens of meters away.

"Yong'an Company!" Bodyguard A Si shouted at the driver, holding the backrest of the car with one hand, and trotted all the way behind the car.

When shopping, Chu Jiao, who was so excited, suddenly felt a little excited, but she didn't stop, but she just had a gloomy face and secretly swore that she would never go to Hongkou again and never want to see the bad face of the Japanese soldiers again.

There are many people in Yong'an company, and they are just in the process of a 20% discount. Some civilians who don't usually come to see if they can buy cheap goods.

Chu Jiao stood on the stairs platform on the first floor for a while. Looking from the window, you could vaguely see the outline of the towering palace hotel and the dark clouds above the Huangpu River were gradually dissipating.

Apart from the barbaric Japanese warships, there are no ships in the port at the moment. Due to the tense situation at the moment, all other ships were probably gone. There were many guns and cannons on the warships, and the plaster flags were floating arrogantly in the breeze. Chu Jiao couldn't help but make a grimace to the Izumo ship expressing disgust.

"Miss, the third floor is the doll department. You haven't bought a doll for a long time." Asi reminded attentively.

Chu Jiao tilted her head and thought for a while. Indeed, she hadn't bought a doll for a long time.

In the doll department, Chu Jiao was warmly received by the salesperson. On the contrary, the woman who looked like a servant in front of the counter was neglected. The salesperson arrogantly put the doll on the counter and warned her not to touch it, as if her hands were a little rough and swollen, and it was not as clean as the salesperson and Chu Jiao's hands.

Round blue eyes and long black eyelashes are so cute! Chu Jiao was immediately attracted by the doll, reached out to touch her, and asked, "Will you close your eyes when you put it down?"

"Yes, Miss." The salesperson replied with a smile. After Chu Jiao said she wanted to buy it, she asked politely: "Miss, should I pay cash or keep accounts?"

The girl who looked like a maid felt shy and flinched in front of the salesperson. Although she was wearing a new gown that she almost never wore except for holidays, it did not attract the attention of the salesperson. When the salesperson rudely told her not to touch the doll, she gently shrank her hand back. But she couldn't help but take the doll while the salesperson was issuing the invoice, and she fell carefully on the counter. She smiled happily as she watched the doll close her eyes.

"Don't touch the doll with your thick hands." The salesperson noticed it and sternly said: "I've told you that if you want to touch it, it's better to buy one too."

The girl pursed her lips, her hands drooped on both sides of her body as if guilty, staring at the doll, and after a while, she said with some challenge: "I want to buy this doll."

The salesperson took Chu Jiao's banknotes, tore off the invoice, then put the dolls on the counter back on the shelf, and walked towards the collection at the end of the counter.

"Miss--" the girl screamed timidly, as if she was a little embarrassed after the small attack, "I want to buy this doll, 20% off, right?"

"Can I wait a moment?" The saleswoman was arrogant and didn't even look back. "Didn't you see I'm busy?"

Chu Jiao took the doll, and with the smile of the saleswoman, she walked past the children's clothing department. The people here were crowded at the top of the stairs. She decided to wait for a while, then walked to the window and looked at the dock again.

The dock was still empty, with only a few gray Japanese warships. The warship was filled with endless blue sky, and a white cloud was floating by. Suddenly, Chu Jiao saw several black dots appearing in the blue sky, flying straight towards the dock like a bird.

Without any alarm, the Japanese warship suddenly fired fire, and the blue sky leaning against the flying objects immediately exploded with black smoke.

Airplane, Chinese plane. Chu Jiao widened her eyes and rushed towards the warship with thousands of cannons. As she got closer, she could see the signs on the wings. When she saw the first plane dropping a small black bomb, she held her breath and felt indescribable happiness.

Huge columns of water splashed beside the Izumo ship, and dense shells kept firing into the sky, shaking the glass windows, making the sound of rolling. The plane roared and rushed towards the Bund, climbed up, and then turned around and dived dived.

"Miss, let's go quickly, let's go quickly!" Asi urged anxiously beside him, unable to help but reach out to pull her.

Several more planes appeared in the sky, belonging to the Japanese, chasing and shooting.

The people who had already squeezed around excitedly pointed at the plane hovering above their heads. The roar of the engine was only about a hundred meters away from the mall, and people had no idea what was going to happen.

Chu Jiao pulled A Si and hurriedly went downstairs and ran to the street. Traffic in the Bund area had stopped, tram trucks, taxis, even buses and trolleybuses stopped, and passengers poked their heads out of the window and looked around.

"Look, look, it's flying over again." Chu Jiao shook her arm, stopped again, looked up at the plane and turned around again.

"Miss, this place is too dangerous..." As Si stomped his feet and was thrown away his hand, but he didn't dare to pull the willful lady immediately.

Chu Jiao was excited to see, but she was completely unaware that danger was coming. When the invisible bombs passed through the wet and hot air, they flew staggeringly and made a sharp roar, she lost consciousness in the loud bang and the smoke and dust.

…………

The dusty smoke mixed with dust filled the streets, covering buildings. The police and volunteer team stood in the streets, commanding firetrucks and ambulances to drive carefully through the rubble in the thick smoke.

The beams of the Palace Hotel were twisted, and the reinforced concrete tower was blown to pieces. A wall seemed to stand up without support, and the foot of the wall seemed to collapse due to a huge impact. After a while, everything disappeared in the new smoke.

Chu Jiao woke up. To be precise, her body is now controlled by a soul that has traveled through time. Although A Si, who survived the disaster, had already wrapped the wounds in her clothes, blood was still oozing out from the wound on her forehead.

Dizzy, Chu Jiao hummed and stretched out her hand to put it on A Si's shoulder. A Si was overjoyed and shouted, "Miss, are you okay? Let's go to the hospital now, I'll carry you."

"Just support, just support." The one who dominated Chu Jiao's body was no longer the old lady. She was already the tough-hearted Chen Chen, and it was not the first time she was reborn through time. However, her soul suddenly released from the long-term darkness that was shattered, and she was still a little uncomfortable.

Moreover, Chen Chen clearly felt that this body was not his soul alone. He still couldn't figure out whether the original owner fell into a deep sleep due to severe damage or his powerful soul had completely taken the initiative.

"Okay, I'll support you." A Si followed Chen Chen's arm and half-standed her up, and slowly walked among the messy bodies and rubble.

Pain, shocked, confused and terrified, Chen Chen saw the last expression left on the faces of the stranger. Among the Chinese, there are many foreign faces. When he stared at the remains, the moans of the injured and the sound of the shovel scraping of the chisel shovels came in his ears.

"Miss, you--" A Si was a little surprised at the calmness and silence of his own lady, and guessed whether the lady was scared.

The miserable scene did not cause her to collapse. Chen Chen could feel that his body was recovering his strength and his miraculous ability to recover was her trait after she traveled through time and rebirth.

Dizzy, Chen Chen hummed and stretched out his hand to A Si's shoulder. A Si was overjoyed and shouted, "Miss, you're okay, let's go to the hospital now, I'll carry you."

"Just support, just support." Chen Chen is no longer the eldest lady. She is already the tough-minded Chen Chen, and it is not the first time she has traveled through the possession. However, the soul suddenly released from the long-term darkness that is bound to make people feel devastated, and there is still a little discomfort.

"Okay, I'll support you." A Si followed Chen Chen's arm and half-standed her up, and slowly walked among the messy bodies and rubble.

Pain, shocked, confused and terrified, Chen Chen saw the last expression left on the faces of the stranger. Among the Chinese, there are many foreign faces. When he stared at the remains, the moans of the injured and the sound of the shovel scraping of the chisel shovels came in his ears.

"Miss, you--" A Si was a little surprised by Chen Chen's calmness and silence, and guessed whether the lady was scared.

The miserable scene did not cause her to collapse. Chen Chen could feel that his body was recovering his strength and his miraculous ability to recover was her trait after she traveled through time and rebirth.

"Wait." Chen Chen suddenly stopped.

It was the girl who bought a doll. She tilted her head and moaned in pain. The clothes on her body were torn and dirty, covered with a layer of gray and white dust. Her swollen right hand held a headless doll wearing a ruffled skirt, which was wrapped in paper.

With black eyes, Chen Chen suddenly felt so familiar and friendly. She broke free from A Si's body, half-squatted down, reached out to gently straighten the girl's head, and asked, "How are you? What's your name? Where are you?"

The girl blinked slowly and looked at Chen Chen. Her mind seemed to gradually wake up. The corners of her mouth moved and she said weakly and in a low voice: "Miss, Nong, Nong's name is Damei, live..."
