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

Chapter 1131 My Valuable Uncle

“Then tell me, or else… hehehe, I’ll let it crawl into your mouth, then out of your eyes, then into your ears, and finally slowly crawl out of your nostrils!” Jiang Jiyun said as he slowly moved the snake in his hand toward the man.

At that moment, the man stared in terror at the green snake before him, his body trembling uncontrollably.

He struggled desperately to get up and escape, but his body was too weak to muster any strength.

As the terrifying snake drew ever closer, the man finally couldn't hold back any longer and screamed at the top of his lungs, "No, don't come any closer! I'll tell you everything! Please, have mercy on me!"

Qi Feng, standing to the side, was equally terrified. He stared intently at the green snake, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

He wondered to himself, when did this girl start keeping poisonous snakes?

Meanwhile, Grandpa Han appeared quite calm. When he saw Xiao Cui clearly, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Hearing Jiang Jiyun's frightening words, she couldn't help but laugh and quickly covered her mouth with her hand, afraid that she might accidentally laugh out loud and ruin her plan.

At this moment, the man lying on the ground seemed to have suddenly found a lifeline and shouted at Jiang Jiyun, "We are just hired by someone. Someone placed an order to take the lives of the people who are with you. We just want to make some money. As long as we kill you all, we can get our payment."

Jiang Jiyun had never seen an assassin in his two lifetimes, let alone one that was targeting him.

At this moment, her big eyes blinked, filled with endless curiosity, and she couldn't wait to ask, "Damn it, who wants us dead? And how many big yellow croakers is my precious life worth?"

Faced with Jiang Jiyun's barrage of questions, the man looked dejected. He had thought that their cheap order would be a sure thing, but it turned out to be a case of throwing eggs against a rock.

He replied weakly, "As long as it's someone around you or you, two hundred dollars for a head."

"What the hell? Are you kidding me! Am I only worth a mere two hundred silver dollars? This is outrageous! Which damned bastard placed this order? I'll kill him!" Jiang Jiyun was furious, her anger blazing, and she cursed through gritted teeth.

The man shook his head speechlessly at the angry person, indicating that he knew nothing about it either.

He explained, "We lowly people are just doing our jobs for money; we don't know who issued the kill order!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jiyun's eyes darted around, and she immediately asked a question that caught the man completely off guard: "Then how was this kill order issued?"

"Uh... ah?" The man was clearly taken aback by the sudden question, and his mind went blank for a moment.

When Jiang Jiyun saw him staring blankly, she couldn't bear it any longer and slapped him on the head.

The man then seemed to wake from a dream and stammered out the whole story.

"Then I'll give you a small yellow croaker, and you help me find the person who started the fight and kill them, how about it?" Jiang Jiyun said softly.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Just then, gunshots rang out again!

Jiang Jiyun turned his head sharply, his gaze fixed on the direction from which the sound was coming from the rear carriage.

Immediately afterwards, a large group of panicked people rushed toward them.

These people ran in terror, as if something horrible was chasing them.

However, when they ran breathlessly to the door of the carriage, they saw several corpses lying haphazardly on the ground, and the mysterious girl wearing a mask was holding a sharp knife, staring at them fiercely.

Those who were terrified stopped in their tracks, especially those who were running at the front, whose legs went weak and who could not take another step forward.

Meanwhile, the crowd continued to surge in from behind, everyone trying their best to squeeze into the carriage for a sliver of safety.

Thus, a chaotic shoving battle broke out, and the people who had already stopped were forcibly squeezed to a place only a few steps away from Jiang Jiyun.

Many of those people cried out in fear as they looked at the gleaming dagger in her hand; they were truly caught between a rock and a hard place.

The man lying on the ground suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs: "Please, have mercy! We took the job according to the conditions you set! Can you please let us go?"

As soon as he finished speaking, those who were nearby immediately retreated as if their tails had been stepped on, fearing that they would become the next victim.

Qi Feng dragged the group aside and said to them, "You can come over here. They're not dead, they've just been knocked unconscious."

Jiang Jiyun grabbed the man who was speaking on the ground by the hair, dragged him to a seat, and cleared the aisle.

Qi Feng grabbed the man's chin and said, "How can we believe what you say? People in your line of work have no integrity. You could have pretended to agree to our request and then run away. Besides, you accepted the job but didn't complete the task, and you just let it go like that?"

When Jiang Wenming returned, that idiot assassin was still trying to prove that he kept his word.

His eyes widened, staring in astonishment at Jiang Wenming's face, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Two hundred large yellow croakers!!!"

"What?" Jiang Jiyun, who was standing to the side, was also extremely shocked. She turned her head sharply and looked at her uncle in disbelief.

She stared intently at her uncle, scrutinizing him for a while, but still couldn't discern anything different about him.

Just then, a thought suddenly flashed through Jiang Jiyun's mind.

She couldn't help but sneer, "Hmph, those Japanese devils are incredibly cunning! They actually tried to take our lives without firing a single shot. And you guys? You're all complete idiots, foolishly letting those Japanese devils use you for such a small amount of money!"

Hearing Jiang Jiyun's angry outburst, Qi Feng was filled with confusion and quickly asked, "What exactly happened? Why were those Japanese soldiers targeting Uncle?"

Jiang Wenming knew the reason perfectly well, but given the inappropriate setting, he couldn't be frank. So he could only give a vague answer: "Well, it's a long story... somehow the Japanese found out about that incident two years ago."

At this moment, when he thought about the enemies chasing him everywhere, Jiang Wenming felt even more strongly that he could not go back to his hometown. He absolutely could not bring this potential risk and crisis to his family.

At this time, they were unaware that Japanese spies were already searching for their traces in Zhe Province.
