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

Chapter 163: Black eats black

When they got to the riverside, Jiang Jiyuan looked around for a while and said, "You just squat in this pile of dry grass while I dig the boat out from the reeds over there."

Jiang Jiyun nodded obediently, "Brother, go to work without worry, I'll help you look after your shoes."

Jiang Jiyuan rolled up his trouser legs and walked into the cold mud. Jiang Jiyun watched his brother walk into the withered reeds and decided to enter the space.

The flash of light did not escape her eyes. There was someone to the east of where she was squatting in the grass.

Jiang Jiyun took out a pistol and looked in that direction vigilantly. She moved carefully in that direction in the bushes.

She was downwind, and although the wind wasn't strong, the drugs had no effect.

"Hee hee hee……"

Suddenly, someone among the crowd squatting on the other side heard a woman's laughter beside them.

"Boss, I heard that many people died here, including women who were killed by the Japanese. I seemed to hear a woman's voice just now?" said a young man in a trembling voice.

"What the hell are you talking about? How could there be a woman's voice here now? Keep your eyes on that man, and then we'll rob his boat and cross the river." The leading man cursed his companions in a low voice.

"Hate it! Don't I look pretty?"

A soft woman's voice suddenly came from their left.

Five or six men squatting in the bushes with machetes in their hands turned their heads and looked over.

"Sir, do you think I am pretty?"

I saw a woman wearing a phoenix crown, a bright red wedding dress, red lips and white teeth floating in the air. Her face was covered with thick powder, and her eyes were painted as black as a panda, which looked very strange.

Several grown men looked at the woman in horror, and they could hardly hold the knives in their hands.

One of the timid men was so scared that he wet his pants, and a pungent smell filled the air.

"This...what is this?" The leading man pretended to be calm, but his voice trembled slightly.

"Hehehe... guess what..."

The woman let out a sharp laugh that echoed in the air and was creepy.

“Ah—a ghost…”

Finally, someone couldn't stand this terrifying atmosphere anymore and turned and ran away screaming.

Others followed suit, dropping their weapons and desperately fleeing the place.

However, no matter how they ran, the woman always followed them like a shadow, and kept saying, "Sir, wait for me..."

Several people were running and crawling, and when they looked back they saw that the female ghost had actually taken off her head herself.

Terror enveloped the hearts of each of them, and they felt as if they were trapped in an endless nightmare.

Jiang Jiyun took some projectors and ran after them. When she saw them running away, she collected the items. She panted and muttered, "These people run too fast. I haven't had much fun yet!"

Jiang Jiyuan, who was concentrating on digging out the mud, heard the sound of ghosts howling and immediately stopped what he was doing and ran quickly to the shore.

Only his shoes and socks were left where his sister was squatting. He stood up, looked at the dark riverside and shouted, "Jiang Jiyun, where are you?"

"I'm here!" Jiang Jiyun was busy picking up cloth bags and weapons.

Jiang Jiyuan quickly ran to his sister.

Sitting by the newly lit fire, rummaging through the bag.

"Are you hurt? What happened just now? I thought I heard someone screaming?"

"Don't push me anymore. I'm busy now. Just now, a few people were holding knives and planning to rob you. I was pretending to be a ghost to scare them, and they ran away in fear. What kind of money is this? Why do they look different?" Jiang Jiyun looked at the banknotes in his palm.

"These are the legal tender issued by the National Government, and these colorful ones are the military notes used by the Japanese." Jiang Jiyuan took them, looked at them, and explained them to her.

"Is this real money? Why are there so many zeros?" Jiang Jiyun stared at her brother with wide eyes as she looked at the four zeros.

She had received banknotes from the devils before, but the largest denomination she had ever seen was only one hundred yuan. Today, she actually saw a ten thousand yuan note. Was she sure it wasn't ghost money?

"This is real. This is a 10,000-yuan French franc note. You've found a treasure." Jiang Jiyuan said, looking at his sister's sparkling eyes.

When Jiang Jiyun heard that this was very valuable, he stuffed it into his pocket and said, "When we get to H City, I will buy candy for my nephew and niece Xiaobao."

Jiang Jiyuan said with a twitch of his mouth, "You'd better find a way to exchange it for silver dollars or spend it when you get there. The legal currency has been rising. Two years ago, one hundred yuan could buy a strong cow, but now you can only buy a calf. In the future, you may only be able to buy an egg."

"What the hell? One hundred yuan can only buy an egg? It turns out this thing is not that valuable. Silver dollars are still more reliable." Jiang Jiyun didn't expect that this thing had depreciated.

Jiang Jiyuan carried several knives and wrapped them in a bag. "Just stay here. I'll be ready in a while."

"How about I go and help you?" Jiang Jiyun said, touching his brother's cold hand.

"No need, we can leave soon, just pack your things." Although Jiang Jiyuan was shivering with cold, he couldn't bear to let his sister freeze in the cold water.

"Okay, I'll pack up. I'll be good and won't cause any trouble." Jiang Jiyun answered readily.

Jiang Jiyuan looked at his sister's appearance, smiled, shook his head and continued to turn the boat over.

When Jiang Jiyun was dozing off while waiting by the fire, she finally heard her brother's voice.

"It's time for us to get on the boat and leave." Jiang Jiyuan came over and said softly.

"Hmm? Can we go now?" Jiang Jiyun asked sleepily.

"Brother, please put this set of clothes on your body quickly. It's really warm. I took it out of a bag here." Jiang Jiyun handed him a set of black thermal underwear he took out from the space.

"What is this? A black nightgown?" Jiang Jiyuan took it and gestured.

"This coat must be warm because of the fluffy inside. Brother, put it on quickly and don't catch a cold." Jiang Jiyun urged.

Jiang Jiyuan touched his clothes and shook his head, "I'm an adult and I'm not afraid of the cold. When we meet up with your sister-in-law and the others, I'll ask your sister-in-law to make some clothes for you."

Jiang Jiyun's nose was a little sour. "I'll buy it for you when we get to a big city!"

Jiang Jiyuan said with a smile, "Okay, then I will wear the clothes my sister bought for me."

He knew clearly the fabric he had just touched. Its delicate texture and unique patterns were something he had never seen on the market.

This fabric seemed to not belong to this world, and its existence made him confused and curious.

However, he did not question or explore too much because he knew his sister had a dark secret.

He has been silently protecting his sister, watching her grow up, and witnessing everything she has experienced. Although he has some guesses about his sister's secrets, he always chooses to respect her privacy and never mentions it.

He believed that his sister would open her heart to him and share her story at the right time. As long as his sister was safe, this was his greatest wish, and he was willing to silently bear everything and protect her from harm.

To him, his sister's life is more important than anything else. He is willing to use his strength to protect her and let her live happily and healthily.

Even though the truth of some things will never be known, he has no complaints because he only hopes that his sister can live happily.
