Chapter 1139 Jiang Wenxun Reunites with Former Comrades-in-Arms

As Jiang Wenming watched their receding figures, he thought to himself, since his cousin was going to reunite with his comrades, shouldn't he do something to help them?

With a change of heart, Jiang Wenming immediately took action.

He went to Boss Zeng and asked him to prepare an extra meal so that his cousin's comrades could have a better meal.

Jiang Jiyun, Xiao Wei, and Xiao Tian followed closely behind Jiang Jiyuan and the others.

Xiao Wei carried a medical kit in his hand, thinking about what Jiang Jiyun had said before: "Those people are heroes. We must not sit idly by and do nothing. We should help them if we can."

Qin Heng and the others from the Qin family were being held tightly by Daoist Kong Qing, who was keeping them in the shop to wait for their return.

Jiang Wenxun followed closely behind Shunzi, watching as he led him to a house that had mostly collapsed and stopped.

After looking around, Jiang Jiyun sighed thoughtfully, "This used to be a church!"

Jiang Wenxun nodded and said, "Yes, this used to be a church, where many orphans lived."

Back then, he had come here with Lao Yu and the others to help the children living here repair their roofs.

Today, this place has become so dilapidated that it is truly heartbreaking.

Just then, a figure dressed in patched clothes walked over cautiously, his steps unsteady.

When Jiang Jiyun got closer, he realized that the man had a crippled leg.

Chang recognized the person and asked with a puzzled look, "Shunzi! Why are you here at this time?"

Shunzi smiled slightly and replied, "Master Chang, I've brought you an old friend this time on special occasion!"

As he spoke, he stepped aside, revealing the person behind him to Changye.

Chang also looked over there and saw that the man was wearing a gray cotton dress, but his posture was upright and his face was handsome and resolute.

When he saw the other person's face clearly, Chang was stunned and speechless for a moment.

After a long while, he finally came to his senses and exclaimed in disbelief, "Brother Wenxun, you...you're really still alive!"

His voice trembled slightly with excitement, and he threw down his cane in a fit of rage.

Jiang Wenxun was also overjoyed. He quickly stepped forward and hugged Chang Ye tightly, saying with deep emotion, "It's so good that you're still alive. To be honest, I didn't dare to hope that I would be able to see you again one day."

Chang was equally excited, his eyes glistening with tears, and he patted Jiang Wenxun hard on the back.

He excitedly told the other person, "It's not just me! Lao Yu, Qu Jiang, Jiao Dachun, Ni Hong, Ye Yuncheng, Shi Dayong, Lu Yi, and Lin Jiu are all still alive!"

Jiang Wenxun carefully examined Chang Ye and found that his mental and physical condition was significantly better than his own had been.

He couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion, and then asked softly, "Where are the other brothers?"

Chang seemed somewhat embarrassed to speak, and slowly lowered his head.

After a moment of silence, he replied in a low voice, "Old Yu and Yuncheng are now guards at the city gate; Dayong works as a laborer at the dock with Lin Jiu and Qu Jiang; Ni Hong is responsible for guarding the gate of a spinning mill outside the city; and Lu Yi works as an accountant at a general store."

Hearing this news, Jiang Wenxun felt a pang of sorrow in his heart.

Back then, they were all highly regarded young officers in the Central Army!

However, times have changed, and now it has fallen into such a state...

Chang looked at her patched-up clothes and said with a bit of shame, "Because everyone's injuries are quite serious, we don't earn enough money to buy medicine, so life is a bit difficult."

Jiang Wenxun took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner turmoil, then took out two gleaming silver dollars from his pocket and handed them to Shunzi.

He said, "Brother Shunzi, could you please find a way to call them back? This money is a reward."

Shunzi quickly waved his hand and laughed heartily, "Why would I need so much money? I just need to spend a little money to buy a few steamed buns and give them to those little beggars so they can pass on a message."

Jiang Jiyun quickly took out a few bills from his bag, smiled and handed them to Shunzi, saying, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Shunzi!"

After Shunzi left, Jiang Wenxun helped Chang Ye up, turned to face Jiang Jiyun, and asked, "Jiyun, could you check Chang Ye?"

Jiang Jiyun looked at Chang Ye's right leg and nodded in agreement, saying, "Let's go inside and sit down to take a look. Standing here all the time isn't a solution."

Chang said apologetically, "I was so excited to see Brother Xun that I forgot. Everyone, come inside with me and I'll pour you some tea."

After entering the house, Jiang Jiyun looked around and found that the whole house was very clean, and even the simple beds were neat and tidy.

At this moment, Chang also walked in, carrying a bamboo water bottle in one hand and several bowls in the other.

As he walked, he said, "There's some tea on the cabinet over there. Lu Yi and Ni Hong secretly brought it back from outside. Don't think it's bad!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jiyuan and Xiao Wei hurriedly stepped forward, took the water bottle and bowl from Chang Ye's hands, and thanked him repeatedly.

Jiang Jiyuan explained, "We are also from the countryside. We usually drink plain water, and we don't know much about tea."

Chang smiled slightly, "I'm really sorry, but our facilities are limited, and we don't have any teacups to serve everyone, so we'll just have to make do with this big bowl for now. We'll rinse the bowl with boiling water later, and then we'll brew some tea."

Jiang Wenxun noticed that Chang Ye still seemed somewhat uneasy.

He patted Chang Ye on the shoulder and comforted him, "Hey Lao Chang, why are you so reserved? We're good brothers, why are you acting like we're strangers after all these years?"

Jiang Wenxun looked at Jiang Jiyuan and the others and said, "As for them, they are my nephews and nieces. According to seniority, they should all call you 'Uncle'!"

Jiang Jiyun walked quickly to Chang Ye's side and gently helped him sit on the tree stump next to Jiang Wenxun.

She said, "Uncle Chang, please sit down! Let me take your pulse."

After Chang sat down, his gaze fell on the little girl in front of him who looked like a tomboy.

She looked serious and focused as she took his pulse.

Chang Ye observed Jiang Jiyun's calm and composed demeanor with great interest and couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Jiang Wenxun naturally understood that Chang also had doubts about Xiaoyun's medical skills, but he did not say anything to explain.

He deftly took off his coat and rolled up his trouser legs high.

Chang Ye's gaze followed Jiang Wenxun's movements and he soon noticed something unusual.

The upper and lower parts of Jiang Wenxun's left hand are distinctly different colors.

Not only that, but his legs were the same; the skin color from his thighs down to his feet was different from that of his upper thighs.
