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

Chapter 754 Zhou Ning decided to join the army

As night fell, everything was pitch black, with only a faint moonlight shining on the earth.

Jiang Jiyun and Jiang Wenming quickly set up tents behind the village to provide everyone with a temporary shelter.

After all, such a tragic thing happened in the village, they didn't want to stay in the village, so they decided to spend the night here and continue their journey after dawn.

After dinner, Zhang An walked over to Wen Xue, who was sitting in a daze, and whispered, "Sister-in-law, do you want to go to Gan Province with us? Although there won't be any Japanese invaders coming here for the time being, it's still not very safe."

Wen Xue glanced at Pei Nian, then turned to look at Zhang Jun, then looked down at her son in her arms and nodded in agreement.

When Zhou Ning heard that they were leaving, he felt something in his heart.

He noticed the guns carried by Zhang An and others, and his eyes flashed with desire and determination.

He mustered up his courage and asked, "Comrades, I want to join the army. Can you help me? I'm strong and I'm not afraid of death. As long as I can kill the devils, I'm willing to do anything!"

Chen Meng looked at Zhou Ning and asked, "Are you planning to go into the team and kill the devils?"

Zhou Ning took a deep breath and nodded, saying, "Someone from our village also secretly joined the team to kill the Japanese. At that time, my parents were still alive, and I was their only son. They really didn't want me to leave, and I was also worried about them."

His voice was slightly lowered, as if he was recalling the scene at that time. "Every time they heard that the devils had killed someone again, they would specifically tell me to fight to survive. Only by surviving can I have a chance to turn the tables and take revenge."

Zhou Ning clenched his fist unconsciously and continued, "I'm the only one left at home now. I know very well that it's too difficult to avenge my father's death on my own. So, I decided to join the army and kill the devils. I don't know which team my brothers in the village are in, nor do I know where to find a team."

"I hope you can help me. As long as I join the team, I believe that one day, I will be able to find Zhou Yan and her lover!"

Jiang Jiyun looked at Zhou Ning's red eyes from crying, and felt a pang of pain in her heart. She said softly, "Brother, why don't you contact Captain Feng in Changde? It's not too far from here."

Zhang Jun, who was standing by, couldn't help but feel a little worried when he heard the name Changde City.

He interrupted and asked, "Uncle Ning, Changde isn't that close to us. A few days ago, when I went to the county town to buy salt, I heard someone say that the place had been bombed into ruins by the Japanese!"

Zhou Ning's gaze fell firmly on Zhang Jun. Without hesitation, he nodded vigorously and replied firmly, "Go, of course! Only by joining the team can I learn the true skills of killing the enemy!"

Seeing that he was determined to join the army, Zhang An quickly took out a pen and paper from his backpack and started writing.

After finishing, he put the letter into an envelope, then took out a bottle of glue from his backpack, carefully sealed the envelope, handed it to Zhou Ning, and said, "Take this letter and go to the garrison in Changde. Captain Feng is my good friend, and he will definitely accept you."

"My relatives have lived in the village for so long. Thank you for your care. This letter is my letter of recommendation to you."

Zhou Ning took the envelope with gratitude and put it carefully into his bag.

This bag was a simple luggage he had specially packed when he returned home. It contained some necessary clothes and daily necessities.

At this time, Jiang Jiyun also took out a purse from his pocket and silently placed it in Zhang An's hand, while whispering in his ear: "You should give it to him. It's hard to go anywhere without money when you're away from home."

Zhang An nodded, took the bag and secretly stuffed it into Zhou Ning's bag while he was in a trance.

After everyone finished talking, Jiang Jiyun snuggled in her brother's arms and prepared to sleep. She fell asleep in a short while as her brother rocked her up and down.

Chen Meng, who was on guard outside, was always alert to the movements around him.

Suddenly, he noticed that several people were sneaking towards him. His nerves tensed up instantly and he blew the whistle without hesitation.

The sound of a whistle broke the silence of the night. Zhang An and Jiang Wenming felt their hearts tighten when they heard the whistle. They looked at each other and immediately acted in tacit understanding.

Zhang An quickly stamped out the bonfire with his foot, sending sparks flying before it was instantly swallowed by darkness. Meanwhile, Jiang Wenming quickly gathered his belongings and drew his gun, ready for battle.

Pei Nian took his sister-in-law and nephew and quickly hid in the nearby bushes.

She covered her nephew's mouth tightly, fearing that he would make any sound and expose their hiding place.

Jiang Jiyun had no idea what was happening. With a confused look on his face, his brother Jiang Wenming carried him on his shoulders like a sack and ran out to ambush him.

Chen Meng over there was holding a gun, facing the people in front of him as if they were facing a great enemy.

His voice was cold and stern: "Who are you? Answer in Mandarin. We don't understand your dialect!"

Those people were obviously frightened by Chen Meng's momentum. They raised their hands and chattered.

One of them said tremblingly, "General, we are villagers from the next village, and my wife is from Heji Village. She has been restless at home, worried about her parents, so she asked me to come over secretly to check on her. General, please don't kill us!"

Another person quickly raised his hand and explained anxiously, "Yes, yes, we are really not spies or devils. We are just here to visit my mother-in-law's family. General, you must believe us!"

After listening to their explanation, Peng Yongyan said, "Then you just wait a moment."

When he heard the first person say he was looking for someone, he called Zhang An, described the situation here in detail to him, and asked him to bring Zhou Ning with him immediately to identify these people.

Zhou Ning rushed over anxiously and saw the men squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands from a distance.

When they heard the footsteps, they suddenly raised their heads. When their eyes met Zhou Ning, one of the men suddenly shouted excitedly: "Zhou Ning, it's me! I'm your cousin's husband!"

Zhou Ning walked quickly forward and saw several people clearly in the light of Zhang An's flashlight. They were indeed people he knew.

He turned to Chen Meng, who was holding a gun not far away and looked serious, and said, "Comrade, they are really the sons-in-law of our village. There is absolutely no mistake."

After hearing this, Chen Meng breathed a sigh of relief, put away his gun, and continued to perform his sentry duty with Peng Yongyan.

Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Zhang An turned around and returned to the tent to tell everyone else to continue resting.

At this time, Jiang Jiyun's sleepiness had long disappeared without a trace.

She took out a medical book from her bag and handed it to Jiang Wenming as usual, motioning him to read it aloud while she recited along.
