Chapter 1175 Falling Asleep in a Tree
Zhou Ke recalled the meal at noon, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her lips: "Sister Yulan, if I were to die right now, I'd consider myself a well-fed ghost!"
"Having lived this long, this is the first time I've ever been able to eat meat and rice until my stomach is round and full, and even taste chicken. Even if I were to drag the Japanese devils to their deaths now, I really wouldn't have any regrets!"
At that very moment, Zhou Yulan caught the signal that the gunfire had abruptly stopped.
She stopped exchanging a single word with Zhou Ke and instead became even more alert, focusing intently on the front, not missing a single movement.
After the battle was over, Zhou Peng and his group did not rush to go out.
They lay in ambush in the woods, patiently waiting for a while. Only after confirming that no enemy reinforcements were coming did they emerge from their hiding place to examine the corpses of the Japanese soldiers lying on the ground.
Zhou Peng, Jiang Wei, and others quickly stepped forward and delivered the fatal blow to the enemy who was still alive.
Meanwhile, Ke Yue silently observed the dead bodies of the Japanese soldiers scattered on the ground.
Many were shot in the head and their brains splattered everywhere; others were shot through the chest and died instantly.
Ke Yue stared at a certain spot not far ahead with a troubled expression.
He clearly understood that if it weren't for the mysterious person hiding in the shadows with godlike marksmanship who came to their aid, their operation would not only have failed to wipe out the Japanese, but they might even have been completely annihilated here.
Just then, Zhou Peng walked over, looking ashamed and blushing.
He said with a wry smile, "With so many of us, we only managed to kill a few Japanese soldiers, and some of them were killed by finishing them off with a final blow!"
Ke Yue glanced at the person picking up enemy weapons nearby, frowned slightly, and speculated, "In my opinion, there must be a sniper assisting us in secret over there, but I wonder if this person is one of Uncle Jiang's men."
At this moment, Jiang Jiyun deftly put away his gun, nimbly climbed up a large tree, and continued to shoulder the important task of guarding and keeping watch for everyone.
After settling in, Jiang Jiyun held the binoculars and observed for a moment, then couldn't help but sigh softly.
Although Zhou Peng and his men all had weapons, they probably didn't practice their shooting skills diligently due to the scarcity of ammunition.
Therefore, when it comes to actually pulling the trigger, their probability of hitting the target is really not impressive.
Jiang Jiyun watched quietly, his gaze following Zhou Peng and the others' every move as they swiftly and skillfully disposed of the corpses lying in pools of blood.
However, just as her eyelids were drooping, her uncle contacted her.
At that moment, the younger uncle, along with Xiao Wei and Xiao Tian, were doing their best to rescue the injured in the village.
However, due to the urgency and scarcity of supplies, important medical resources such as effective drugs and hemostatic agents have been exhausted.
Left with no other option, he urgently contacted Jiang Jiyun, asking her to replenish the necessary medicines as soon as possible to alleviate the immediate crisis.
Just before sunset, Zhang An and Chen Meng rushed over with Xiao Qi, only to be surprised to find that Jiang Jiyun had gone missing.
In the afternoon, Jiang Jiyun was so sleepy that she simply put the phone away in her storage space, secured herself with a rope, and fell fast asleep.
She also wanted to go inside the space and get a good night's sleep, but she was a little worried that the hundreds of children might be in danger, and that she could hear their voices and join the battle from outside at any time.
Because Jiang Jiyun had stored the phone in her personal space, no matter how many times she dialed, she couldn't get through.
Therefore, Zhang An had no choice but to contact Jiang Wenming instead, and after some confirmation, he learned that Jiang Jiyun was indeed there.
Afterwards, the three inquired in detail about what had happened from Zhou Peng and the others, and under his guidance, they rode to the location where the Japanese had been ambushed.
Upon arriving at his destination, Zhang An listened attentively to Ke Yue's description of the situation. Then, as if sensing something, he suddenly walked straight in a specific direction.
He then began to search the surrounding ground carefully.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and despite their efforts, they were unable to find Jiang Jiyun.
However, he unexpectedly discovered some sniper shell casings scattered on the ground, which undoubtedly confirmed that Jiang Jiyun had successfully killed enemies here.
Seeing that they couldn't find the person, Chen Meng wanted to suggest that they look in other places.
Before she could finish speaking, Zhang An and Xiao Qi exclaimed in unison, "She's asleep in the tree!"
Chen Meng arrived at Zhang An's spot and saw the person clinging to the tree branch, motionless.
When Jiang Wenming and his group returned, it was already dark, but the scene before them surprised them.
They saw Jiang Jiyun looking dejected, facing the wall in repentance, with his back to everyone, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
Xiao Qi sat obediently beside her, a sly smile on her face, finding her older sister's current disheveled state as she was being punished quite amusing.
When Zhang An and his group arrived, they brought plenty of cloth, shoes, and grain seeds.
These items were set aside, awaiting further processing.
Zhang Dandan and a few other slightly older girls gathered together, busily measuring the body dimensions of their other siblings.
Zhang An then instructed from the side, "When you take the measurements, make sure to include some dimensions. We'll try to get some more cotton tomorrow so you can stuff it into your clothes and make cotton-padded clothes!"
Chen Meng agreed, saying, "With thick winter clothes, these children should be able to have a more comfortable winter."
At this moment, Xiao Wei and Xiao Tian curiously approached Jiang Jiyun and listened to Xiao Qi recount what had happened when they arrived.
The two found it more and more interesting as they listened, and finally couldn't help but burst into laughter, laughing so hard they couldn't stand up straight.
At that time, Chiang Chi-yun was fast asleep high in the tree branch!
Instead of waking her up, Zhang An and his group sneakily found two thick bamboo poles, joined them together, and mercilessly stretched them straight towards Jiang Jiyun's round little bottom.
Jiang Jiyun's bottom was still sore from the severe punishment she had just received from her uncle.
When the hard bamboo mercilessly pierces the wound, a sharp, piercing pain instantly strikes.
In an instant, Jiang Jiyun, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, let out a loud howl.
If she hadn't been tightly bound by ropes beforehand, she probably would have immediately lost her balance and fallen straight down from the treetop...
Little Stone, who had been anxiously waiting, saw Jiang Wenming return and immediately ran forward.
He reached out and tightly gripped Jiang Wenming's clothes, asking in a terrified voice, "Uncle, are the people in our village... are they... still alive?"
Jiang Wenming knew that he was the boy who had come to deliver the news. He sighed and said, "A lot of people died, not only from your village, but also some guerrilla comrades."
