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

Chapter 577 Plan ahead

"I know about the opium thing. There are several secretly opened restaurants in the city, but we really don't know anything about the human trafficking." Wang Xiangchen felt that he was about to lose face.

Jiang Wenming looked at him in surprise. "Don't you know what opium is? Why don't you stop it?"

"Civilization? That's not something we can control." Wang Xiangchen sighed helplessly.

Jiang Wenming's next words seemed to be pinched by an invisible hand at the throat, and he couldn't say anything no matter what.

He just looked at Wang Xiangchen silently, and his gaze pierced straight into the depths of Wang Xiangchen's heart.

After a long time, Jiang Wenming finally broke the suffocating silence. His voice was a little low: "Then we will leave first. Those who died here were all devils. We did not kill innocent people indiscriminately."

He gave a wry smile and said to Jiang Wenming, "I know how to deal with this. Just leave now!"

Jiang Wenming paused slightly, but he did not look back. He just quickened his pace and soon disappeared from Wang Xiangchen's sight.

Just as Jiang Wenming was about to walk out of Wang Xiangchen's sight, he suddenly seemed to remember something important, turned around abruptly and ran back.

He said to Wang Xiangchen, "By the way, let me tell you something. Bai Jinyuan, Wang Zhuoxiao, Chen Sen, and Jiang Ping, they all died on the battlefield last year when the Japanese encircled and suppressed the Japanese army while trying to cover the civilians' retreat."

These words hit Wang Xiangchen's heart like a bolt from the blue. His body trembled violently and he stood there in a daze, motionless.

Jiang Wenming's words kept echoing in his mind, and the faces of those brothers who had been through life and death together kept flashing before his eyes.

They have experienced countless battles together and faced countless life and death tests together, but now, they have left this world forever.

Wang Xiangchen's mind was blank. All the memories, dreams and hopes he had once had vanished with the departure of his brothers.

Seeing his face growing paler, Jiang Wenming sighed before turning around and leaving.

Wang Xiangchen looked at Jiang Wenming's back as he walked away, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.

Jiang Jiyun was hiding in the mountains with his brothers. They found a relatively safe place and waited quietly. Not long after, Jiang Wenming came back angrily.

As soon as he saw them, he couldn't wait to tell them everything Wang Xiangchen had said.

After listening to Jiang Wenming's narration, everyone fell silent and no one spoke.

After a while, Ma Chao finally spoke. Although his voice was not loud, it was full of determination: "So, we will definitely win!"

"Yes, we must win!" Jiang Wenming said affirmatively with his fists clenched.

"Come over and have your meal quickly. You didn't even have breakfast this morning, so you must be starving." Jiang Jiyun said as he took out several wooden barrels and lunch boxes from the space and placed them in front of everyone.

Hearing Jiang Jiyun's call, a group of people walked over consciously, picked up their own lunch boxes, opened the wooden barrels, put in the food, and found a place to sit down.

After lunch, Jiang Jiyun finished his meal and lay on his brother's legs like a lazy kitten, his eyes gradually narrowed.

Qi Feng leaned against the tree trunk, feeling a little drowsy, but he still forced himself to ask, "What are we going to do next?"

Jiang Jiyun replied, half asleep, "Rest for a while and catch up on some sleep. Then, at night, we'll go into the city and look at those restaurants that can make people rich. Then, we'll kill those who deserve to be killed and rob those who deserve to be robbed. We'll spare no one!"

After saying that, she lay on her brother's legs, squinted her eyes, raised her fist and waved it, as if she had already seen the dark restaurants that were about to be robbed by them.

Jiang Jiyuan looked at his sister who was about to fall asleep on his legs. He gently moved his legs, hoping to make his sister sleep more comfortably.

Sure enough, not long after, Jiang Jiyun slowly began to snore and fell asleep.

Jiang Wenming smiled and covered his niece with his military coat, then sat down next to Jiang Jiyuan and closed his eyes for a nap.

Xiao Wei and Xiao Tian were on guard duty at the moment. They stood not far away, vigilantly observing the movements around them.

In order to prevent themselves from falling asleep, they passed the time by chewing on the chewy dried meat that Jiang Jiyun had specially prepared for them.

Three hours passed. Chen Meng and Zhang An got up from the ground and rubbed their eyes sleepily.

They stretched, then walked over to Oda and Xiaowei, ready to replace them and continue the guard.

Xiaotian and Xiaowei looked at Chen Meng and Zhang An with tired faces. Their cheeks were sore from chewing dried meat for a long time.

While rubbing their cheeks, they handed the dried meat that had hardly been touched to Chen Meng and Zhang An.

At this time, in the kitchen of the Lin Mansion in the city, the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

Liu Meng silently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and said to Brother Lin with a slightly trembling voice: "Brother Lin, I think we need to advance our plan."

Lin De'an nodded in agreement. He was also in a heavy mood, with a hint of worry in his eyes. "I think so too. If we delay any further, I'm afraid we will never see Lao Qian and the others again."

Cheng Gong choked up and said, "Yes, it was Bai Jinyuan who dragged his sickly body to dig me out from the pile of dead bodies. Although we were eventually captured by the Japanese, he really saved my life."

As he recalled his experiences during that period, his heart was filled with gratitude towards Bai Jinyuan.

They were tortured again and again, but the encouragement from each other allowed them to persevere.

Cheng Gong couldn't help but sigh that if Jiang Jiyun hadn't suddenly appeared and saved them, they would probably have been thrown into a mass grave and left unattended.

Lin De'an leaned against the kitchen door and said, "Although the tutor of my child has been dealt with, there's no guarantee that there won't be other spies. It's safe for us to talk in the kitchen. Now the only people left are from Zhang Jin's family."

"Tomorrow, Zhang Jin, Yuan Guoliang, and Liu Meng, take your people and quietly send them to the French Concession in Hu City. I've already contacted someone there. Take the gold bars with you and settle our families. Then go directly to Zhe Province to look for Lao Qian. We'll stay here for a few days and then come back to find you."

Liu Meng looked at Lin De'an and the others and asked, "Then what's the reason for our whereabouts?"

"No one can escape from the bombing." Cheng Gong said as he looked at them.

"Will it be safe for only the three of you to go?" Liu Meng looked at them worriedly.

Lin De'an smiled and said, "I will take advantage of the chaos to clean up my house, and then directly ask the higher-ups to lead the troops to the front line to fight the Japanese. It doesn't matter where we fight the Japanese."
