Chapter 1126 A strange combination of circumstances
Jiang Jiyun handed the whip to the soldier next to him and said, "They should only follow orders now."
Yue Yunlai helped his parents to the soldiers, and he bowed solemnly to them, saying, "Thank you for rescuing my family."
"Why? Why did you plot that robbery and murder?" Jiang Jiyun asked him angrily.
After Yue Yunlai stood up straight, he looked at the people in front of him and said, "We did it, but we don't regret it. I can pay for it with my life, but I don't regret it."
After he finished speaking, he looked at the place and said, "We came back from outside and found that our family members were missing. I searched for a long time and met the Chen brothers, who were also looking for their family members, and some other people."
“We’ve been here together, but we’ve never had a chance to get in. Each time, we were chased by that giant snake, and many of us died.”
“We sought help from nearby teams, but they had also disappeared here. A couple of days ago, Chen Feng learned that a group of capable people with special identities were coming. They arrived in three cars, so we secretly sent a message to the bandit leader, Sixth Master.”
"We thought they had special abilities and could definitely deal with that giant snake, so we wanted to use them as a tool to kill them."
"Chen Feng went to tell Sixth Master and the others that the three carts were full of gold and silver jewelry, and told them to rob them. But we don't know why someone in the robbery team rushed out and brutally killed the people on the oxcart."
To everyone's surprise, there were several Japanese spies who could only speak a smattering of Chinese among the bandits.
They didn't understand a word Sixth Master said in his thick dialect; they only caught the key phrase "three vehicles."
Because the operation came suddenly, Sixth Master asked Chen Feng to find a few more people. Chen Feng didn't know that the people he found were all refugees dressed as Japanese soldiers.
By sheer coincidence, just as they were lying in ambush and preparing to make their move, three oxcarts happened to enter their field of vision and successfully attracted their attention.
Without a word, these guys charged forward, hacking at anyone they saw, and the scene descended into chaos...
The sudden massacre left the real robbers dumbfounded, their faces filled with disbelief as they stared at the scene unfolding before them.
They were all completely baffled!
By the time they realized what was happening and tried to stop it, it was too late.
Just as they were about to rush to the rescue, two armed men appeared at the intersection and opened fire. This terrified the robbers, who panicked and ran wildly into the woods.
Nan and his men killed two Japanese spies, and the remaining spies quickly retreated when they saw the Chinese soldiers appear.
What happened next was something Jiang Jiyun and the others had already been involved in; they all knew what was going to happen next.
She sighed deeply, her gaze falling on Yue Yunlai, and said with emotion, "As the saying goes, 'The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.' These Japanese devils are really too ruthless. They don't even check the authenticity of the information, only thinking that it's better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free."
At the same time, Chen Dong also found his family members in the crowd.
He held his family members' hands tightly and walked quickly to Yue Yunlai's side.
He said to Jiang Jiyun and the others, "We are willing to face and take responsibility for the mistakes we have made. After settling our families, we will immediately go to find the families of the victims and apologize to them, even if it costs us our lives!"
Jiang Jiyun looked at the group of people in front of her with a complicated expression.
In this turmoil, the most pitiful and innocent are the more than twenty people who suffered misfortune yesterday.
But it was precisely because of their tragic deaths that our group was able to follow the clues and successfully rescue the hundreds of people who had been arrested.
They also killed the ferocious giant snake and even destroyed the Japanese's secret stronghold hidden in the shadows.
This also prevented people from being eaten by snakes or from being captured and killed by the Japanese in the future.
This complex situation gave Jiang Jiyun a headache, but she knew in her heart that this was not something she was responsible for handling.
Let's just leave this problem to the higher-ups and let them rack their brains!
As a series of crisp and loud cracking of whips rang out, the tormented people, supported by the soldiers, staggered away, trembling with fear.
After finding a safe landing spot, Jiang Jiyuan and his men landed and then found Battalion Commander He, who had led the team.
He suspected that the survivors had been injected with a virus and asked him to take them under his control. They collected many test tubes stored in ice in the Japanese laboratory.
When He Wei heard that there might be a virus, his face turned extremely pale. He immediately ordered the company commander to take everyone to the nearby deserted village for temporary accommodation.
He quickly contacted the group leader by phone and asked him to request a professional doctor to come and examine and treat him.
All their team could do was isolate everyone from the outside world to prevent them from spreading the virus.
When Jiang Wenming and Nan Huan's group found their way here, Jiang Jiyun and Xiao Tian were squatting down, staring blankly at the corpse of the large snake in front of them.
What should we do with this snake next? Can we take the snake meat home and eat it? Nan was still chewing on a steamed bun, but her eyes never left the snake as she asked the others curiously.
Jiang Wenming noticed that he was practically drooling over the snake meat and couldn't help but feel suspicious.
Looking at Nan Huan, whose face was full of excitement, he asked, "Aren't you all monks? Haven't you heard that there is a clear rule in Buddhist precepts that prohibits monks from eating meat?"
Faced with Jiang Wenming's questioning, Nan first chuckled dryly twice.
Then he explained: "Haha, you don't know this! Actually, I'm not a monk in the true sense; I'm just a lay disciple like Tian Jing and Wei Mian."
"Since that's the case, let's return to secular life and join the world. They'll join the army, and although I won't join the army, I'll still secretly assassinate Japanese soldiers. If I don't eat meat, how will I have the strength to kill people!"
He Wei came over and said, "These were raised by the Japanese. All we know is that they eat people. If the people they eat carry the virus, then these snakes definitely can't be eaten."
Jiang Jiyun walked over and forcefully flipped the snake's head. Jiang Wenming went over to help her and casually asked, "What are you doing?"
"Uncle, there's a picture or text under the snake's chin. I'd like to see what it is," Jiang Jiyun told him, looking at the picture or text under the snake's mouth.
Jiang Jiyuan and the others also gathered around to look at the picture and text.
Jiang Jiyun looked at the pattern, which resembled a character. It looked somewhat familiar, but she didn't recognize it.
"This is a small seal script character, it looks like the character 'Qin'," Political Commissar Zhang said after taking a look and carefully identifying it.
