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

Chapter 1008 Mass Jumping into the River

Jiang Jiyun told Jiang Wenming, "When I was escaping and looking for a way out, I found that there was no one guarding the area, so I planned to swim across the river. But just then, this guy suddenly jumped out of the water without warning, which scared me half to death!"

Looking at the crocodile on the ground, Jiang Jiyun said, "To be honest, if it hadn't wanted to eat me, I really wouldn't have been willing to kill it."

She reacted instinctively and took the crocodile into the square.

Oda looked at the monster on the ground in surprise and said, "This thing really eats people! No wonder no one guards this place!"

Nan looked at the huge thing and asked, "Can we eat this?"

Ma Chao was truly stumped by the question. He shook his head and said, "I don't know. I've never eaten it, nor have I ever seen anyone else eat it."

Xiao Wei and the others shook their heads as they looked at the thing, unsure if it was poisonous.

Jiang Jiyun didn't speak. After yawning, she said, "Can we leave now? I want to go see the person who looks a lot like me."

Seeing the exhaustion on his niece's face, Jiang Wenming said, "Let's go back to the village and rest for a while. We'll leave when your brother comes back."

"thump!"

"thump!"

……

Just then, a noise reached their ears.

The sound came from not far away, and it sounded like something had jumped into the river.

Xiao Wei and Ma Chao exchanged a glance, both realizing the seriousness of the situation, and quickly ran towards the source of the sound.

Jiang Jiyun and Jiang Wenming both thought that prisoners had escaped, and with so many people going, they wouldn't get any opponents.

When Ma Chao and his men arrived at the riverbank, they saw a group of young girls jumping into the river one after another.

Nan stood on the riverbank, anxiously shouting into the river, "What's going on here? Even if something terrible has happened, you absolutely cannot commit suicide!"

However, the girls did not stop their crazy behavior and continued to jump into the water.

Jiang Jiyun, who was originally walking slowly at the back, suddenly heard news that someone had jumped into the river and committed suicide. She immediately quickened her pace and ran towards that direction.

When she arrived at the scene, breathless, she found that some people had already bravely gone into the river to rescue the drowning person.

Jiang Wenming saw Xiao Wei, Xiao Tian, ​​and Nan on the shore doing their best to help pull the drowning people ashore.

Since none of the three could swim, they could only anxiously wait on the bank and were unable to go into the river to rescue the drowning person.

When Jiang Wenming saw that Ma Chao and Liu Zhiming had jumped in to save people, he glanced around the river and noticed that many girls were still struggling in the water.

Without saying a word, he leaped into the river and swam vigorously toward the girls who were in dire need of rescue.

"Why did you save me?"

"I've lived this long just to see those beasts die, and now that they're dead, I don't want to live anymore!"

"My body is ruined, I have no desire to live."

……

Jiang Jiyun heard footsteps approaching and saw several older girls running towards her.

"Sister Ruan, I'm sorry, I really don't want to hold on anymore, I'm so tired!" the girl cried as Sister Ruan hugged her.

Just then, another girl came running up, grabbed the girl with the empty eyes, and shook her shoulders hard.

She screamed hoarsely, “We absolutely cannot die so easily! Those damned beasts aren’t all dead yet! We haven’t even witnessed victory! They destroyed our homes and mutilated our bodies. We haven’t avenged our blood feud. How can we just die like this?”

After calming herself down a bit, she continued, "Look at these heroes who saved us from this disaster. They are all men of our family. They gave their all, even their precious lives, to protect us so that we could survive."

“They were like fathers and brothers to us, and even with their last breath, they would never give up on protecting us.”

"Our lives were bought with their own! Their greatest wish is for us to live, so we must do as they wish and live well in their place!"

"We must not only survive, but also dedicate ourselves to the fight against the enemy and rescue more compatriots who are trapped in the abyss of suffering just like us!"

"No matter how much pain and suffering we encounter, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles we face, we must grit our teeth and persevere!"

"We may sometimes appear cowardly and timid, but we must never stand idly by and watch our brothers and sisters lose their lives in vain! Only in this way can we avenge our family, truly avenge them!!!"

As Jiang Jiyun listened to the girl's words, her eyes gradually welled up with tears, which fell uncontrollably.

She dared not let anyone see her crying, so she quietly lowered her head and gently wiped away her tears with her sleeve.

The mournful cries that rang in her ears all around her, and these cries mercilessly pierced Jiang Jiyun's heart.

After successfully rescuing the person, Jiang Wenming stood aside and squeezed his wet clothes.

Just as he turned to look for Jiang Jiyun in the crowd, he saw his little niece at the back of the crowd with her back to everyone, as if she was wiping away tears.

So he quickly walked forward, pulled Jiang Jiyun to a secluded corner, and the two of them entered the space.

"Xiaoyun," Jiang Wenming said in a low voice, "when I went down into the river to rescue people, I found several large boxes at the bottom of the river! They were all very heavy and weighed down by the water."

Hearing this, Jiang Jiyun, who had been immersed in grief, suddenly looked up, her eyes flashing with surprise and excitement. What? There were boxes hidden in the river? Could they be full of gold and silver treasures? We have to hurry and retrieve them!

Jiang Wenming shook his head helplessly and sighed, telling her it was too late. "Your brother Ma Chao and the others must have noticed, so I secretly packed two boxes in when no one was looking. Later, I saw Ma Chao jump back into the water to collect things, and I just didn't have the guts to continue!"

"what a pity!"

Looking at his little niece, whose face still bore two teardrops, Jiang Wenming was probably filled with disappointment at losing his precious niece.

He released the two metal boxes, now covered in green algae, onto the grass and muttered to himself, "Most of the things inside these things have been soaked in water. I wonder if that will have any effect?"

Jiang Jiyun stepped forward, gently brushed aside the algae covering the surface of the iron box, and after careful examination, said, "The contents inside shouldn't have been soaked in water. You see, molten iron was poured into the opening to seal the box, ensuring that absolutely no water can seep in. However... it will take some effort to open it!"
