Traveling through the 1940s, the whole village was massacred at the beginning

Chapter 1009 Name: Zhu Zhuxia

Jiang Wenming leaned closer and saw the sealed opening in the iron box.

After looking around, he said, "I don't have time to pry open this box right now. I'll do it when I have some free time. I need to find a place to hide them first."

Having made up their minds, the uncle and nephew acted quickly, finding a corner where Jiang Jiyuan and the others were unlikely to notice, and hid the two iron boxes before leaving the area.

When the two of them left the space and returned to the roadside, they immediately noticed that the girls who had been emotionally agitated had now calmed down.

They are actively communicating with the soldiers, expressing their desire to join the team.

Meanwhile, Ma Chao remained submerged in the water, occasionally surfacing for air, and sometimes diving back down to swim.

Jiang Wenming pretended to be nonchalant and led Jiang Jiyun over, then turned to Xiao Wei beside him and asked, "Xiao Wei, what on earth is Ma Chao up to? The people have already been rescued, why isn't he coming up yet?"

When Xiao Wei heard Jiang Wenming's question and saw the clothes he was wearing, he looked down and saw that Xiao Yun had also changed her clothes, so he assumed that they had just gone to change clothes.

He looked into his uncle's eyes and asked, "Uncle, do you really not know?"

Jiang Wenming continued to feign ignorance and asked, "Hmm? What should I know?"

Standing to the side, Xiao Tian saw that Jiang Wenming seemed to know nothing about this.

So he leaned closer and whispered in his ear, "Uncle, when Brother Ma went down into the river to rescue people, he unexpectedly found a lot of big boxes at the bottom of the river!"

"Really? How come I didn't notice anything at all! The situation was so critical at the time, I was only thinking about rescuing the girl struggling on the surface of the water, I didn't have any time to think about anything else! Especially what happened underwater, I really had no idea!" Jiang Wenming stared wide-eyed in astonishment at the river in front of him.

Jiang Jiyun, standing to the side, silently held onto her uncle, secretly marveling at how realistic and brilliant her uncle's acting was!

If this were a peaceful era, with my uncle's superb acting skills, he could definitely become a highly regarded actor, and winning various awards would be a piece of cake.

Just as Jiang Wenming was fully displaying his superb acting skills, he inadvertently glanced at his little niece standing next to him.

When he realized that Jiang Jiyun was staring intently at him, he couldn't help but shudder.

He immediately came to his senses, realizing he couldn't teach the child bad habits.

Jiang Wenming then came to his senses, held Jiang Jiyun's hand tightly, and turned to Xiao Wei and the others, saying, "It's already broad daylight. I'll take Xiaoyun to the car at the village entrance to rest for a bit."

As he spoke, he pulled Jiang Jiyun toward the village entrance.

When Xiao Wei saw his uncle's awkward change of topic, he quickly followed and looked down to carefully examine Jiang Jiyun, who looked tired but was still trying to keep his eyes open.

He said, "I'll go with you guys. That way, we can look out for each other. If we run into any trouble, I can contact Brother Ma and Brother Yuan immediately."

Jiang Wenming did not stop him when he heard him say that, because even he himself did not understand what was going on.

Sometimes, even when they were being law-abiding, the Japanese soldiers would still come to provoke them.

After looking around, Nan followed Xiao Wei and the others and left.

After all, given his current skills, he couldn't dive into the water to work like Ma Chao. If he were to actually go into the water to retrieve something, he would probably be willing but unable.

He looked at the sky, which was already turning a pale white, and saw that the sun was about to rise above the horizon. Based on past experience, today was sure to be another unbearably hot day.

Since that's the case, it would be more pleasant to go back to the car and rest for a while; the cool and comfortable environment is perfect for sleeping.

Jiang Jiyuan and his group reached the foot of the mountain and successfully made contact with Ma Chao.

When he learned that Ma Chao had retrieved twenty large boxes from the bottom of the river, they rushed back and together with Ma Chao handed the items over to Battalion Commander Zhuang and his men for disposal.

As Xiao Tian finished his business and stepped out of the house, he spotted Jiang Jiyuan looking around.

So he hurried up to tell Jiang Jiyuan, "Uncle took Xiaoyun to find a place to sleep outside the village, and the two senior brothers went with them. They are safe now."

Upon receiving the news, Jiang Jiyuan followed Ma Chao toward the village entrance.

After they left the village, they saw two cars parked under a large tree not far away.

Xiao Wei woke up when they appeared. He glanced back at the uncle and nephew who were still snoring in the back seat, then rolled the car window down a little and nodded to Jiang Jiyuan and the others to indicate that they were still sleeping.

Jiang Wenming opened his eyes as soon as he noticed the car was moving, and reached out to support his little niece who was rolling around in the back seat.

After driving for a while, they saw a group of people carrying their bags on a country road heading towards the village behind them.

If Jiang Jiyun were awake, she would have seen familiar faces in the crowd.

When Ma Chao and his men returned to Commander Feng's camp, Jiang Jiyun had just gotten out of the car when she saw several people running towards her, shouting and yelling.

"what……"

"Bald girl!"

"Bald girl, you're finally back!"

……

Xiao Wei and the others quickly blocked Jiang Jiyun's path. Jiang Jiyun rolled his eyes speechlessly when he saw Yu Zhan and Xia Qian.

What the hell is this nickname, "bald-headed sister"?

But she still gave them a polite smile and introduced herself, "Brothers and sisters, my name is Jiang Jiyun. I am nine years old this year, and I will be ten soon. Please don't call me bald little sister anymore."

Jiang Jiyuan and the others, standing to the side, stopped being wary when they saw Jiang Jiyun's fake smile, and watched with amusement as Jiang Jiyun dealt with her friends.

"My name is Yu Zhan, and I'm 13 years old!"

"Yu Qing, 15 years old!"

Xia Qian, 12 years old

Yan Ci, 16 years old

……

In the end, only the girl with the missing front tooth didn't introduce herself. She blushed and mumbled two words.

Jiang Jiyun was a bit far away from her and couldn't hear clearly, but Xia Qian next to her helped, saying, "She lost her front tooth and her speech is a little unclear. She said her name is Zhu Xia and she's 10 years old."

The little girl raised her hands and said, "Zhu...Zhu Xia..."

Xia Qian thought she had misheard when she saw her actions, but when she heard her say the same two words, she asked in confusion, "I didn't say anything wrong! Isn't it Zhu Xia?"

Jiang Jiyun looked at her younger sister with the missing tooth, and suddenly her ears and face turned red.

She tried hard to suppress her laughter and asked, "Her surname might be Zhu, and her given name might be Zhuxia, which is three characters long. She doesn't stutter!"

Xia Qian suddenly realized, and said embarrassedly, "Oh, I see. I'm sorry, I thought you were stuttering, that's why I said that."

Jiang Jiyun felt a bit uncomfortable holding it in, so she raised her hand and said, "Excuse me, I need to go to the toilet."

After saying that, she squeezed out of the crowd and ran away, with Xiao Wei and Jiang Wenming quickly following after her.
