Chapter 155 Rabbit Digging a Hole
Chapter 155 Rabbit Digging a Hole
Jiang Jiyun carefully lifted her head, gently brought the cup of water close to her mouth, and slowly tilted the cup to let the water flow into her cracked lips.
After she finished drinking the water, Jiang Jiyun picked up the bowl, walked out of the room, stood quietly beside Jiang Jiyuan, and waited patiently.
"Sister, are you ready? Let's start!" Luo Yan instructed the pregnant woman with a focused expression and a firm tone.
"what……"
Accompanied by a heart-wrenching cry, the pregnant woman tried her best.
The two adults and one child in the yard held their breath and listened nervously to every sound coming from the house.
Not long after, they finally heard the long-awaited baby cry.
"Wow wow wow..."
The clear and loud cry broke the silent night sky, as if announcing the arrival of new life to the world.
Luo Yan quickly wiped the child clean, then carefully wrapped it in soft cloth and gently placed it next to the woman. She smiled and said, "Sister, congratulations, it's a lovely daughter!"
"Thank you!"
The pregnant woman's face was exhausted, but her eyes were sparkling with joy and gratitude. She gazed at the wrinkled little life in front of her and whispered thanks.
"call……"
Luo Yan breathed a long sigh of relief, her legs slightly weakened, and she staggered out of the room, came to Chen Fuchang, and happily reported: "Political Commissar, the pregnant woman and her daughter are safe."
Chen Fuchang nodded, turned his gaze to Jiang Jiyuan, and solemnly instructed: "Luo Yan, you will be responsible for protecting their safety from now on. We still have a crucial task to contact the team, and we must leave here immediately."
Jiang Jiyuan squatted down, looked at his excited sister, and said earnestly: "Xiaoyun, this time you must obey your brother's arrangements. You stay here with Comrade Luo Yan and help her take care of the mother and the newborn, okay?"
"Come on! You can't leave me alone! My sister-in-law is waiting for us to go back!"
Jiang Jiyuan laughed when he heard her admonition, "Don't you always leave your brother behind and act on your own?"
"No, brother, don't talk nonsense! Follow Political Commissar Chen and leave. I will protect them." Jiang Jiyun nodded and promised.
Luo Yan and Jiang Jiyun watched the two people leave and then closed the yard door.
"I'll be on guard here, you go in and keep an eye on the pregnant woman and the child." Luo Yan said as she watched the little girl lying on the crack of the door, looking outside vigilantly.
"it is good."
Jiang Jiyun turned around and walked in. After entering the house, she closed the door and went to the back door to observe her backyard.
I came to the bed and saw that the rosy-faced woman had fallen asleep, and the baby was sleeping soundly in her arms.
Jiang Jiyun went to the back door again, opened it and went out. She went to the small garden at the back and started digging.
She didn't understand why the people here didn't dig cellars. Where would they store their vegetables and grains in the winter? Aren't they afraid of raids by the Japanese?
She worked hard and ate a spiritual spring bead when she was tired. When she was hungry, she secretly ate the big meat bun in the space.
When it was dark, Luo Yan entered the room and saw only the sleeping mother and daughter, but the little child could not see her.
She looked around and saw the half-open back door, so she walked over and saw some light outside the door.
"What are you doing?" Luo Yan walked over and asked the child, who was covered in mud.
"Dig a hiding place for the mother and daughter. If the Japanese come, they will have no way to escape." Jiang Jiyun knew it was her when Luo Yan opened the door, and he exchanged the military shovel in his hand for the one here when she came.
Luo Yan said ashamedly, "I really didn't expect this situation. Why didn't you ask me to dig it?"
"Anyway, we need someone to keep watch, and Comrade Luo Yan, you are also preparing food for the mother. I can't do anything about that." Jiang Jiyun looked at her and waved his hands.
"Haha... I'll go get some food for you, and I'll come dig later." Luo Yan said and left.
Jiang Jiyun simply put down his things and went to the gate of the yard to stand guard. If he lit a fire at night, as long as the fire was not big and no sparks came out of the chimney, most people would not notice it.
After watching the child and the woman in labor eat, Luo Yan continued to help dig the hole. With her help, the hole became deeper and deeper.
After Jiang Jiyun tamped the soil with a small stool, he asked Luo Yan to bring a few bundles of hay over to spread on it.
"Little girl, you are really smart. How come you know how to dig holes like a rabbit?" Luo Yan looked at the paved area.
"Move them here now? I can hear gunshots." Jiang Jiyun urged her.
Luo Yan quickly entered the room and supported the woman in labor, while Jiang Jiyun followed them holding the baby wrapped in a blanket.
After settling the mother and daughter, Jiang Jiyun asked Luo Yan to move some reeds to cover the entrance of the cave, and then sprinkle a circle of medicinal powder around the reeds.
"What is this?" Luo Yan looked at it curiously.
"Something that interferes with animals' sense of smell." Jiang Jiyun hid after finishing his work.
Luo Yan said, "Kid, hide yourself. I'll go check out the situation over there."
Jiang Jiyun didn't have time to call her before she climbed over the wall in two steps.
"So she's a martial artist. No wonder she's not afraid!" Jiang Jiyun watched her agile movements with shining eyes.
Looking at the fire in the west and listening to the gunfire coming from there, Jiang Jiyun didn't hide and just opened the door and went out.
She ran towards the platform where the Japanese had tried the patriots at noon. The road was easy to recognize, as long as she kept walking east.
Seeing that there was no one in the dark place, Jiang Jiyun ran towards the light.
When she came near the fire, she saw many Japanese soldiers holding torches and looking at a group of shivering civilians huddled together.
We are basically out of the city. There are no city walls here, only a large field.
The Japanese machine guns have been set up and their guns are aimed at innocent civilians.
As soon as she took out her gun, she heard gunshots. The squad leader who was about to give orders and the machine gunner were both killed.
"what…"
Some people in the crowd screamed when they heard the gunshots. The Japanese no longer cared about killing civilians and started firing at the area behind them.
Looking at the people who were still squatting there stupidly, Jiang Jiyun took out a supermarket salesman's loudspeaker, put away her gun and ran in another direction.
"Folks, follow me and run! If you stay, you will die! Let's fight to save our lives and celebrate the New Year!"
This sentence was repeated in the loudspeaker, and the Japanese gunfire was also fired towards her.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
She was shouting with a loudspeaker hanging around her neck, and she was throwing grenades at the Japanese without paying.
Lin De'an and his men were beating the Japanese to cover the escape of the civilians when they suddenly heard Jiang Jiyun's voice telling the civilians to flee.
"Why did that girl come here? Didn't Jiang Jiyuan find her?"
