Chapter 1014 Finding Aunt Feng
Chapter 1014 Finding Aunt Feng
After questioning the survivors again and checking their household registration certificates, they finally confirmed that the group of people in front of them were residents from the surrounding villages.
Today is a market day outside the county town near Shuangri. They were all going out to the market in groups, and this was a necessary route. They never expected to encounter such a tragedy on their way back.
Jiang Jiyun's gaze swept over the mess on the ground and found that many of the items were indeed odds and ends purchased by ordinary people in their daily lives.
She couldn't help but wonder: "Why would those people come to rob and kill ordinary people?"
This question lingered in everyone's mind, and no one could figure it out. What could have driven the murderer to kill so many innocent people?
Jiang Jiyun looked around, then shouted at the top of his lungs, "Everyone, think carefully, is there anyone else missing?"
Her shouts broke the somber and oppressive atmosphere of the scene, drawing the attention of those still grieving and traumatized.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Jiyuan quickly stepped forward to block his sister, while also raising his voice to ask, "Everyone, look quickly, has anyone's companion gone missing?"
Those who were injured and weeping while holding their loved ones came over to identify each other.
"Yue Yunlai from our village has disappeared!"
"Our village's little Qin girl isn't here."
"Where's Aunt Feng? Why is she gone too?"
"Chen Dong is also missing!"
When Jiang Jiyun heard that someone had indeed gone missing, he couldn't help but frown.
She wondered what was going on. She turned to look at Jiang Jiyuan and the others and found that they all looked worried.
Ma Chao and Jiang Jiyuan began asking around about the daily habits of the missing people.
Nan and the others said they saw the masked men eventually escape into the woods.
Jiang Jiyun thought to himself, if that's really the case, then this forest, or rather what lies behind it, is probably not simple.
There might be some hidden danger, perhaps a bandit stronghold or a base of other forces.
Thinking of this, Jiang Jiyun pulled Jiang Wenming, who was standing beside her, toward the grove of trees.
At the same time, Xiao Tian and Xiao Wei saw the uncle and nephew run into the woods without saying a word, so they quickly quickened their pace to catch up with them.
As the sun gradually sets, the four people in the forest feel that their surroundings are becoming increasingly dark.
In such an environment, finding any clues left by missing persons is not easy and requires the use of some lighting tools.
Look! There's blood here... When Xiaotian swept the beam of his flashlight across a patch of grass, he discovered a clump of sticky red liquid on the blades of grass.
He immediately shouted to Jiang Jiyun and the others, and his voice carried quite far.
Hearing Xiaotian's shout, the other three quickly gathered around to check.
Sure enough, a dark red bloodstain was clearly visible on that blade of grass.
After confirming their target, the four of them continued walking in the direction indicated by the bloodstains.
They had only gone a short distance when a faint, intermittent cry for help reached their ears.
The group immediately quickened their pace and ran towards the source of the sound.
Xiao Tian arrived at the destination first. He saw a middle-aged woman leaning against a big tree, constantly calling for help. She was covered in blood, and one hand was tightly clutching her abdomen, from which blood was still gushing out.
Upon seeing the woman, Jiang Jiyun quickly took out his surgical kit, strode forward, and asked, "Are you Aunt Feng?"
At this moment, Aunt Feng's face was ashen, and large beads of sweat rolled down her forehead. She nodded with difficulty in acknowledgment.
She felt dizzy and everything went black.
Aunt Feng thought she was going to die silently in this forest and then rot and stink, but just as her consciousness was about to completely fade away, she vaguely heard a voice calling to her.
She seemed to see her white-haired mother anxiously telling her to open her eyes. She gasped for breath and regained some of her senses, then heard a man's voice.
So, with her last ounce of strength, she screamed for help!
Although she thought she had used all her strength, the voice was actually extremely faint; an ordinary person would probably not have been able to detect that someone was calling for help.
Fortunately, Xiao Tian and the others were all martial arts practitioners. In addition, Jiang Jiyun usually added spiritual spring water to the food he cooked, including steamed buns and pancakes. With the spiritual spring water nourishing their bodies, their hearing and eyesight were far superior to those of ordinary people.
Jiang Jiyun quickly stopped the bleeding for Aunt Feng and gave her a special pill to stabilize her injuries.
After Aunt Feng's condition stabilized somewhat, Jiang Wenming stepped forward and asked, "Auntie, did you hide in this grove alone, or were you forcibly dragged into it?"
Aunt Feng calmed herself down a bit and drank a few sips of water. The water tasted a bit strange, but after drinking it, she felt a warm current enter her stomach and felt much better.
She replied, "Sigh, it's all my fault! When I saw Qin run into the woods, I thought she was trying to escape, so I thought I'd follow her. But I never expected that Chen Dong, that beast, was in cahoots with those people!"
Aunt Feng paused briefly, panting heavily, seemingly still shaken by the scene she had just witnessed.
Then she continued, "The situation was extremely critical at the time, and Qin Yatou only wanted to protect me. She told me to keep hiding while she ran out to distract some of the bandits."
"I never thought that even though I had tried my best to hide it well, I was still discovered in the end. That person stabbed me and then turned around to chase after Qin Yatou."
At this point, Aunt Feng's face was streaked with tears, and her voice choked with sobs as she pleaded, "Please...please, you must save Qin'er! She's such a good child, she can't just die like this!"
As she spoke, she pointed in a certain direction with her trembling hand, the direction Qin Yatou had run away from, hoping that these people could also go to save her.
Xiao Wei told Xiao Tian to stay behind, and then he ran off in that direction.
Jiang Jiyun watched Xiao Wei's retreating figure, silently praying that Qin girl would also have good luck!
Jiang Wenming suddenly remembered something else and quickly turned to Aunt Feng to ask, "Auntie, there's another person who's gone missing. His name is Yue Yunlai. Have you seen him?"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Feng frowned slightly, tried hard to recall, and then shook her head, replying, "I'm so sorry, child, I can confirm that I have never seen this person named Yue Yunlai..."
She had no memory of this person at all, and she didn't pay attention to whether there were any strangers while fleeing for her life in the forest.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jiyun nodded thoughtfully, then quickly picked up a pen and paper, wrote down a few words, and sent them to her brother's online space.
Outside the woods, Ma Chao was in close contact with relevant personnel via mobile phone, and he specifically instructed them to notify the police station as soon as possible to send someone to assist in the investigation.
On the other side, Jiang Jiyuan and others comforted the common people.
While everyone was busy, Jiang Jiyuan walked to the side, took out a piece of paper, glanced at it, and then handed it to Ma Chao.
He lowered his voice and said, "Xiaoyun and the others have found Aunt Feng. She said that Chen Dong seems to be in cahoots with those people, but it's not clear whether this information is true or not. We need to verify it carefully."
