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

Chapter 1133 The person I was supposed to pick up has run into trouble.

Before getting off the train, Jiang Jiyun and Jiang Wenming warmly introduced Ma Chao and his companions to Grandpa Han, saying that they could look after each other while traveling together.

About two hours later, the three of them got off the train and drove towards the agreed-upon town.

Before dawn, the car came to a steady stop not far outside the city, quietly waiting for the person who was supposed to pick it up to appear.

After Jiang Jiyun finished breakfast, she saw people entering the city but did not see the people her brother had mentioned.

"Brother, have you really made arrangements with those people?" Jiang Jiyun, sitting in the passenger seat, stared intently at the city gate.

The place was already crowded with people, but no one was seen coming to join them.

Meanwhile, Jiang Wenming, sitting in the back seat, also frequently raised his wrist to check the movement of the watch hands.

Twenty minutes have passed since people were allowed to enter and exit freely!

But why haven't the people who agreed to meet shown up yet? Could something have happened to them?

As anxiety gradually took hold, Jiang Wenming finally decided to stop waiting.

He opened the car door and, under the watchful eyes of his nephews and nieces, walked into the nearby bushes.

As Jiang Jiyun watched her uncle leave in a hurry, she couldn't help but wonder: In broad daylight, did her uncle need to take a dump?

However, since they had a need, we shouldn't say anything, so we continued to look around at the city gate from inside the car.

A figure soon caught Jiang Jiyun's attention. She saw a tall, beautiful woman walking gracefully toward her in the rearview mirror.

Jiang Jiyun stared wide-eyed at the woman getting closer and closer, exclaiming in disbelief, "Holy crap! This... isn't this my uncle? How did he become my aunt in the blink of an eye?"

The woman walked up to their car and called out sweetly to Jiang Jiyuan, "Xiao Yuan~"

Then she gave him a charming and alluring look.

Jiang Jiyuan was so frightened that his face turned pale and he almost couldn't catch his breath.

Jiang Wenming spoke up to Jiang Jiyuan, whose face was flushed, "Uh... well, Jiyuan, let's hurry up and go into the city to check. We've been waiting since this morning, and we haven't seen a soul. Could something have happened?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jiyun realized that things might be in trouble, so he quickly wiped the smile off his face and turned his gaze back to the city gate.

Jiang Jiyuan, standing to the side, frowned, gritted his teeth, and finally nodded, agreeing to go into the city to check the situation.

After all, everything was normal when I called them last night, but I couldn't get through no matter what I tried today, even after several attempts.

After Jiang Jiyun got out of the car, Jiang Jiyuan drove the car to a secluded place, put the car away, and tidied himself up a bit before coming out.

Seeing that her elder brother looked like a weary traveler from afar, Jiang Jiyun followed her uncle toward the city gate.

After entering the city, Jiang Jiyun and his uncle headed straight for the place Jiang Jiyuan had indicated.

As they passed by the steamed bun shop, they noticed two women selling vegetables at a street stall talking quietly.

"Have you heard? There was an explosion at the Sun family's restaurant last night, and a lot of people died!" one of the aunties said with a horrified look.

Another aunt quickly chimed in: "Yes, last night really scared me to death! I think I heard a gunshot just before the restaurant exploded."

"There were gunshots too?" the first auntie asked in surprise.

"That's right! Although it wasn't as intense as a war, the sound was still quite loud!" the second aunt replied, still shaken.

......

At this moment, Jiang Jiyun had already quietly stood at the entrance of the steamed bun shop and casually bought a few steaming hot steamed buns.

She tiptoed behind the two women who thought they spoke very softly.

Jiang Jiyun squatted down between the two women and said in a low voice, "Aunties, have a couple of buns to fill your stomachs~ But speaking of which, what exactly were you talking about just now?"

Aunt Luo glanced at Aunt Qian, then looked at Jiang Jiyun warily.

At this time, not many people could afford to eat white flour steamed buns, let alone meat buns. So, someone offering help for no reason was definitely not doing it for a good reason.

Jiang Jiyun stuffed a large steamed bun into each of their hands and then explained, "Auntie, I'm not a bad person. I just saw a lot of people acting timidly when I came to town today, and I was afraid of offending someone unintentionally. I just heard you talking about someone dying, so I came to inquire about it."

Aunt Qian naturally knew that these buns were the most famous signature meat buns from Bao Laosi's family, so she happily accepted them and thanked the other party repeatedly: "Oh my, thank you so much, little girl. Since you're so thoughtful, I might as well say a few more words. Things will be a bit chaotic in the city these days, especially in the eastern part of the city. Something big is probably going to happen there!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jiyun immediately feigned extreme fear and asked tremblingly, "Could it be that the Japanese have invaded here? What should we do? We've come all this way to find my aunt; her home seems to be in the eastern part of the city..."

Aunt Luo looked at the little girl in disbelief with a face full of astonishment, and asked in surprise, "Oh my, so your relatives also live in the East City? Which family is it?"

Previously, Jiang Jiyun had heard Jiang Jiyuan describe the specific situation of Teacher Sun's family in detail, so she blurted out without thinking: "My uncle's name is Sun Shi'an, and he is a schoolteacher; my aunt's name is Song Chuxin, and they have two sons and one daughter."

Upon hearing these words, Aunt Luo and Aunt Qian exchanged a glance and then stared intently at the little girl in front of them.

What a coincidence! This poor child, what terrible luck!

Aunt Luo looked at her with sympathy and said, "Child, something happened to your aunt's family. I heard this morning that your aunt was killed in an explosion while protecting the children. I don't know if your uncle and the two children are still alive."

After asking them for the exact location, Jiang Jiyun and Jiang Wenming ran in that direction.

When they arrived at the Sun family's house, they saw that many people were blocking the entrance.

"Song Chuxin is really unlucky. She just went to a restaurant for a meal, how did an explosion happen?"

"Where's Teacher Sun? Could something have happened to him too?"

"What will happen to our little girl if something happens to both of them?"

"His eldest and second eldest sons are nowhere to be found. If they don't come back, who will take care of things at home?"

……

Jiang Jiyun sighed, closed her eyes, and squeezed eye drops into them.

Then, she stood there quietly, motionless, trying to gather her emotions.

After a while, Jiang Jiyun opened her eyes, but her eyes were already wet.

Auntie! My poor auntie! Jiang Jiyun burst into tears, her voice shrill and sorrowful.

Tears streamed down her face like broken beads, soaking her clothes.
