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

Chapter 940 The Yue sisters are rescued

Jiang Jiyuan pondered for a moment, then instructed the others, "Here's what we'll do: Xiao Wei and I will go over there to check the situation. You all stay where you are and don't move around. Wait for our news!"

Xiao Wei turned and went into the house, taking out two pairs of thick cotton gloves and saying, "There are sharp things on them, be careful."

Jiang Jiyuan took the gloves and climbed over the courtyard wall. Hu Dahe and the others all took out their guns, ready to jump over the wall to provide support should anything happen next door.

After Jiang Jiyuan and his group landed, they looked around and found the courtyard overgrown with weeds and desolate, having been abandoned for a long time.

However, in stark contrast to the deserted courtyard, there was a house in front with its lights on, clearly indicating that someone lived there.

Jiang Jiyuan and Xiao Wei exchanged a glance, both feeling somewhat puzzled.

Why would someone choose to live in a room overgrown with weeds and so far from the main gate when the yard is so big and there are so many rooms?

By this time, Jiang Jiyun and Jiang Wenming had already toured several rooms.

When they came out, their faces were extremely pale, as black as the bottom of a pot.

"What a blunder!" Jiang Jiyun said in frustration. "Such a big courtyard, so many rooms, and they're all empty!"

Jiang Wenming chimed in, "Seriously, it's all show and no substance! Such a big house, looks impressive, but there's nothing of value inside!"

The more they talked, the more regretful they became. Not only had they failed to get any money today, but they were also going to get beaten up when they got back. What a huge loss!

Jiang Wenming sighed and said, "The dust in this house is so thick, which means it must have been an empty house before. The people you saw today probably just moved in."

Jiang Jiyun nodded thoughtfully after listening to Jiang Wenming's words.

She went to the outside of a house where someone was staying, crept closer to the window, and eavesdropped on what was happening inside.

"Boss, does the Yue family really own a gold mine? Do you think we could get rich if we went and dug it ourselves?"

"This matter must not be told to anyone. If it weren't for my uncle being the housekeeper in my wife's family, I wouldn't have overheard this."

"Anyway, we've captured both of the Yue family's young ladies. All we need to do is get their exact locations from them."

"Boss, hehe..."

"Snapped!"

"Shut up! You can't touch them. The second young lady's man is a Nationalist officer. If you want to die, don't drag us down with you."

"Lin Er, if you dare to act recklessly, I'll crush your guts."

"Do you want to die? With money, why would you worry about not having women?"

……

Jiang Jiyun and Jiang Wenming's eyes widened after hearing the conversation inside.

What kind of tragic fate is this?!

Having already arrived in this city, I still managed to run into the Yue sisters.

Jiang Jiyun stared at the window with a suspicious look on her face. She stretched out her finger and gently poked the "paper" on the window.

"Huh?" Jiang Jiyun muttered under his breath, "This texture is a bit strange. It doesn't seem to be paper, but rather some kind of fabric."

Seeing this, Jiang Wenming, who was standing to the side, also curiously stepped forward, touched the "paper" on the window, and then nodded in agreement.

Jiang Wenming took out a sleeping incense stick from his pocket, lit it skillfully, then pinched off a small piece and threw it into the finger-sized hole.

After a few minutes, the room suddenly became unusually quiet, without the slightest sound.

Jiang Jiyun and Jiang Wenming exchanged a glance, knowing that the time had come. They quickly swallowed the antidote they had prepared beforehand, then pushed open the door and went inside.

Upon entering the house, Jiang Wenming immediately turned his gaze to the people inside.

He crouched down to examine the faces of the people and, sure enough, spotted a familiar face among them—a person he had seen before at his wife's home.

At that time, he was following behind Old Man Yue, respectfully serving him tea and water.

Jiang Wenming held the man tightly, then said to Jiang Jiyun, "This man is the Yue family's servant."

Jiang Jiyun looked at the man and originally wanted to tell the Yue sisters to deal with him themselves, but before she could finish speaking, she saw her brother Jiang Jiyuan walking over with a group of people.

Jiang Jiyuan's face was as gloomy as if it were about to rain, with his wife's two sisters following closely behind him.

Jiang Jiyun's heart tightened, and he immediately changed what he was about to say, quickly saying, "Brother, we've come to rescue Aunt Wenxing and her sister."

Jiang Jiyuan glared at her, clearly dissatisfied with her explanation.

His face darkened, and he asked sternly, "Why didn't you say anything when you discovered the problem?"

Jiang Jiyun felt a little guilty. She lowered her head and muttered softly, "Isn't it still uncertain? I only saw it once, and I thought I'd come with my uncle to check it out."

Her voice grew softer and softer as she spoke, until it was almost inaudible.

Seeing her like that, Jiang Jiyuan's anger flared up even more.

Jiang Wenming sighed. They had indeed miscalculated tonight. Although the house was quite large, it was really too shabby.

Jiang Jiyun pouted, looking unhappy.

She knew she was going to get beaten up again, so she obediently lay down on the stool, looking like she was about to be slaughtered, muttering, "Come on, I knew you were going to beat me up!"

When Xiao Tian and the others saw Jiang Jiyun's appearance, they all knew exactly what she was up to.

So they all pretended to be busy and quickly dragged away the people who had kidnapped the Yue sisters, so as not to burst out laughing and embarrass someone.

Seeing this, Jiang Jiyuan felt somewhat helpless, but he still quickly walked to his sister's side, grabbed her, and frowned, saying, "Couldn't you have told me first if something happened? Do you think I wanted to beat you up?"

Jiang Wenming shrank to one side, not daring to even breathe loudly, for fear that he would be implicated in this turmoil involving him and his sister.

Seeing that his sister was not speaking and was just looking down, Jiang Jiyuan put her down and gently kicked her buttocks with his foot.

He said impatiently, "Alright, put this on the books for today, and we'll settle the score later. Now, go and contact Uncle Wenxing and have him send someone to pick up the Yue sisters."

Upon hearing Jiang Jiyuan's words, Jiang Wenming felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He quickly ran over, grabbed his little niece, and went outside.

Just as the two were about to leave, Jiang Wenming suddenly remembered the person who had been sleeping unconscious in the east corner earlier.

He hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to take Jiang Jiyun with him to see if he was an accomplice of the kidnappers.

The uncle and nephew walked to the man's side and looked down at the person lying on the ground.

Jiang Wenming was about to step forward and help the person up when Jiang Jiyun stopped him.

Jiang Wenming saw her quickly pull out a pistol from her pocket, the dark muzzle pointed directly at the person on the ground, and she said sternly, "Are you going to sit up by yourself, or do you want me to just shoot you dead!"
