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

Chapter 189 Going Out to Buy Food

Ma Chao looked at Jiang Jiyuan for a long time before saying, "The only one among us who can plot against you is your sister. As long as she doesn't give you any problems, you will be fine."

Jiang Jiyuan rolled his eyes at Ma Chao and said, "My sister is sleeping in her room right now. Don't always talk about my sister as if she is the troublemaker."

"Okay, your sister is the best." Ma Chao said in surrender.

"That's right. Without my sister, so many of us would have died long ago. I like troublemakers like this." Jiang Jiyuan said proudly.

Ma Chao rolled his eyes at the man with a proud face, but his hands did not stop making coal briquettes.

"Now there is no coal on the market, and food, oil, and sugar are all unavailable even if you have money. The Japanese have blocked all the roads, forcing the higher-ups to release their devil prince."

Jiang Jiyuan said nothing and carefully put aside the coal briquettes made by Ma Chao, waiting for them to be shaped before moving them to the kitchen.

Yan Xuyang and Jiang Wenming were tamping the earth in the cellar dug by Ma Chao and Jiang Jiyuan, and the two were whispering to each other.

"Let's go around again tomorrow. Brother Ma, how is your job search going? It's impossible for us to get close to the Japanese's top secrets as we are new here." Jiang Jiyuan asked.

"Let's talk about it later! John said he could help me get into the Concession Municipal Council, but it would cost some money." Ma Chao was troubled by this matter.

They worked all night and as the New Year was approaching, they were worried that the Japanese might take some action, so it would be good to have a place to hide.

At dawn, Jiang Jiyun had already sneaked out, and she looked at the people in the yard curiously.

Jiang Wenming had just hung up Xiaobao's diaper when he turned around and saw the little head sneaking around there.

"Xiao Yun, what are you doing?" Jiang Wenming asked her with a smile.

"Uncle Wenming, I want to see what the Dahu City here is like?" Jiang Jiyun said in a low voice.

"I'm going to see if there's any food to sell this afternoon. I'll take you to see some places first, but you can't run around, okay? There are a lot of adults here, and I'm worried that I might lose you." Jiang Wenming put the wooden basin into the house.

Yan Xuyang came over holding Xiaobao, and while he was talking in his baby language, he saw them and shouted "Sister...Uncle..."

"I don't have time to talk to you. I have to go buy some food." Jiang Jiyun seemed to be revived as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

Jiang Wanting, who was making steamed buns in the kitchen, smiled when she saw her younger sister had regained her spirits. "Did she forget about the punishment she was given yesterday?"

"Children have short memories, so it's better for them not to hold grudges this way." Du Wanqing said with a smile while making steamed buns.

In the afternoon, Jiang Wenming took the cloth bag and walked out holding Jiang Jiyun's hand. She waved happily to her elder brother and said that she would give him a big surprise when she came back.

"Are you so happy going out to play?" Ma Chao asked with amusement when he saw the little girl's smiling eyes.

"She's used to being wild outside, and suddenly she can't be kept at home anymore. Children love to play, and they are a little curious when they arrive in a new place." Jiang Jiyuan smiled and sent his sister away. He had been feeling a chill on his back since yesterday.

"I was sweating while working just now, and my clothes must be soaked with sweat. I'll go back to my room to change, otherwise I'll catch a cold and infect my wife." Jiang Jiyuan walked into the room with a smile.

"Tsk, you're the only one who has a wife. I'll also marry one when I go home. Why are you showing off?" Ma Chao was annoyed by his smug look.

Jiang Jiyun followed his uncle walking in the city and saw all kinds of people.

"Uncle, aren't those sisters cold?" Jiang Jiyun was wearing a cotton coat, cotton pants and small cotton shoes, but he was still not very warm. Were those people really not cold in the cotton cheongsams they were wearing?

"I don't know. Let's stay away from there. It's a dance hall, a place only rich people can go to." Jiang Wenming pulled his niece away quickly.

Jiang Jiyun was dragged by Jiang Wenming to a grain shop where many people were already queuing up.

Listening to the old grandfathers and grandmothers chattering about something, Jiang Jiyun waited for a while and then looked around out of boredom.

"Uncle Wenming, I see some children over there. Can I go over and play with them?" Jiang Jiyun said, pointing at a few children at the entrance of the alley.

Jiang Wenming looked back and saw a group of children playing shuttlecock there and nodded, "Go ahead, don't run around, okay?"

"Okay!" Jiang Jiyun answered quickly and ran over.

Jiang Wenming saw that she was really just watching other people's children playing and people buying food in front of her talking, and she was trying hard to learn the local language.

"Brother Wenming, are you here to buy food too?" At this time, a woman's voice came from behind Jiang Wenming.

Jiang Wenming turned around and saw an acquaintance. They lived on the same street.

"Lin Yinyin? I'm queuing here to buy food. Am I here to watch the fun?" Jiang Wenming thought what she said was strange.

The smile on Lin Yinyin's face froze and she lowered her head. "I'm sorry, I'm not very good at speaking."

"It's okay, then you continue to queue!" Jiang Wenming turned around and looked at his niece who was wearing a red hat and standing aside watching others play shuttlecock.

Seeing that Jiang Jiyun really did not run around, he turned around and waited for the grain shop to open, without paying any attention to Lin Yinyin behind him.

Jiang Jiyun got bored after watching the kids kicking shuttlecock for a while, so they asked her to kick it. However, she only kicked three times and failed to catch the shuttlecock, which made the kids laugh.

So she stopped playing and just stood aside, staring at the wide road in boredom. Jiang Jiyun saw many cars driving into the yard of the stone lion.

Out of curiosity, Jiang Jiyun decided to go over to watch the fun. After all, this place was not far from where Uncle Wenming was.

She walked over carefully and saw that after the car doors were opened, people covered with whip marks and blood were dragged out one by one.

These men in black Mao suits dragged the poor people into the house without mercy.

However, the last car made Jiang Jiyun's eyes widen - several Japanese soldiers in shit-yellow military uniforms walked out of it!

"Colonel Kato, those people have been successfully transferred here. Next we will continue the interrogation and will find out everything they know before exchanging the hostages." A middle-aged man said with a flattering nod.

"As long as you don't kill me, it's fine. I just want to hear what I want to know." The Japanese devil known as Colonel Kato responded in fluent Chinese.

Jiang Jiyun frowned when he heard their words. Could it be that they had captured some liaison officer?

"Kid, get out of here. This is not the place for you to play, or I'll shoot you!" A man suddenly spotted a kid peeking there.

“Wow... Mom... I’m scared…” Jiang Jiyun pretended to be scared and turned around and ran away.

The children at the entrance of the alley also heard what the man said. They were so scared that they dared not play shuttlecock anymore and turned around and ran back to their parents.

Jiang Wenming suddenly noticed that all the children at the entrance of the alley had dispersed. He looked for his little niece for a while but couldn't find her. Just as he was about to run over to look for her, he saw the child running towards him crying.

"Killed!"

"Someone is going to kill someone!"
