Chapter 596 Silver Medal
Chapter 596 Silver Medal
"That was brought here by those Yin-Yang masters. They have it as a helper, and I also released our helper." Jiang Jiyun said to them while looking at the corpse of the big snake.
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned her gaze to the east, where bursts of bombing sounds were coming from, and the battle there was not over yet.
Jiang Wenming followed her gaze and saw thick smoke billowing towards the sky. He reached out and took off the small hat on Jiang Jiyun's head, comforting him, "I believe they will definitely win!"
The moment the hat was taken off, Jiang Jiyun felt a chill on her head and she couldn't help shivering.
She looked at her uncle's hand in surprise, only to see him pull the two black balls off the hat, then carefully tidied up the two hats and put them back on his head.
Jiang Jiyun's attention was drawn to her uncle's actions. She looked at the two black balls curiously and asked, "Where did they come from?"
"These are your two fake braids." After Jiang Wenming put the hat on her, he also took off the unsightly black skin around her mouth.
When Jiang Jiyun heard that it was her fake braid, she frowned and sighed, "Uncle, does this world hate my hair? I don't have any hair left, and I can't even keep the fake hair I made."
"It's just an accident. You're not the only one like this. When there are no more wars, you can grow your hair as long as you want." After Jiang Wenming finished styling her hair, he turned to look at the Taoist priests over there.
When Jiang Jiyun's gaze fell on the Taoist priests again, her heartbeat suddenly quickened again.
Not far away, Taoist Master Hengchen was standing next to a charred corpse, and he seemed to be holding something in his hand.
The thing flickered faintly in the sunlight, attracting Jiang Jiyun's attention. Her heart started pounding again, and an inexplicable sense of tension surged in her heart.
"Xiao Yun, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Wenming looked down and noticed that she was holding her chest tightly with one hand, thinking that she was feeling a little uncomfortable in her heart.
Jiang Jiyun shook his head gently, frowned, and said, "Uncle, I don't know why, but every time those Yin-Yang masters get close to me, my heart starts pounding like a deer."
She hesitated for a moment and continued, "That feeling is just like... it's like every time I see my little lover, my heart beats faster and it's hard to calm down."
Jiang Wenming was surprised after hearing her description. "What nonsense are you talking about? What little lover? Why don't you say you were chased and bitten by a dog?"
"Hehe... my uncle is right, I was just being chased by a dog." Jiang Jiyun forced a smile.
Jiang Wenming helped her sit down and comforted her, "Don't worry, maybe you're just a little nervous or sensitive around them. However, if you really feel uncomfortable, just sit here and rest for a while."
Jiang Jiyun nodded and continued, "But, uncle, I really want to know what it is that those people have that makes me react like this?"
Jiang Wenming turned to look at the charred corpse not far away and said thoughtfully, "How about this, you wait here for a while. I'll go over to check on those Yin-Yang masters and see if I can find anything."
Jiang Wenming walked towards the charred corpse, leaving Jiang Jiyun sitting there alone, waiting for his uncle and others to find the things.
After Taoist Chen Ying and his companions gathered together, they put the items they found in their hands. They saw that everyone had found silver plates, and the texture looked exactly the same.
Xu Zhou took out a magnifying glass from his cloth bag and carefully examined the tiny words on one of the signs.
He read softly, "Year Yi Hai, Hour Bing Xu, Day Yi Chou. There's another line of characters below that I don't recognize. It seems to be from the Land of Sakura."
Jiang Wenming happened to walk up to them. He knew nothing about the words on these signs, but he just guessed that they might record a specific time.
Taoist Qingyang saw this, counted on his fingers, and said, "This is October 16, 1935. This seems to be a specific date or the birth date of a certain person."
When Jiang Wenming heard this time, he felt it sounded familiar. He suddenly turned his head and his gaze fell on his niece who was sitting obediently on the ground not far away and looking at him.
"Master Taoist, this is my child's horoscope. Is there something wrong with this plaque?" Jiang Wenming's voice revealed a hint of worry.
After hearing the sound, Taoist Master Xuzhou and the others turned to look at the child over there, with expressions of confusion and surprise on their faces.
"How could this child's horoscope be leaked?" Taoist Master Xuzhou frowned and muttered to himself, "According to common sense, if they weren't relatives, it would be impossible for them to know her horoscope."
Taoist Mingyou also looked at the child and said thoughtfully, "Fortunately, there is no specific time on it, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
Jiang Wenming was originally cold all over, and his body was shrouded in coldness for a moment. After hearing what Taoist Mingyou said, his spirits lifted a little.
He quickly asked, "Does this mean that it wasn't her closest relatives who betrayed her?"
Taoist Priest Kong Qing nodded, then shook his head, and continued, "That's indeed a possibility. However, to find out the truth, we have to start investigating your relatives. After all, it's unlikely that outsiders would know her date of birth."
Taoist Master Kong Qing knew that those people would do anything to get information, so he reminded them, "Is it possible that someone around you is being threatened?"
The figures of his relatives in the village kept appearing in Jiang Wenming's mind, and his thoughts were drawn back to the conversation he had with his father yesterday morning.
At that time, his father told him that everything was fine in the village and there was nothing unusual.
His father mentioned that his daughter-in-law was due in the next few days, but he did not mention that other families in the village were facing difficulties or troubles.
When they left, they left gold and silver in the secret cellar under the ancestral hall, so there was no way the village was short of money.
Jiang Wenming also had doubts about Brother Wenshan because he also knew Xiaoyun's birthday, but then he thought, Brother Wenshan is Xiaoyun's biological father after all, how could he betray his own children?
If he did that, Jiang Jiyuan would definitely kill his father.
As for Sixth Uncle and Wanting, they have a close relationship with Xiaoyun and are outside, so it is even more impossible for them to disclose Xiaoyun's birth date and time to others.
After some careful consideration, Jiang Wenming's brows gradually relaxed. He realized that the root of the problem still lay in the village.
He took a deep breath to calm himself, took the silver medal from Taoist Xuzhou, and walked towards Jiang Jiyun without hesitation.
"Uncle, have you found something?" Jiang Jiyun was sharp-eyed and saw that her uncle was holding something in his hand. She quickly stood up and asked with anticipation.
