Chapter 939 Climbing Over into the Neighbor's Yard
Jiang Jiyuan looked at his sister, whose eyes were fixed on the iron pot, and said, "Then I'll go back first. Xiaotian, you stay with them."
Xiao Tian nodded and went over to sit down. He could also smell the aroma of wontons; they were filled with chives.
After seeing her brother leave, Jiang Jiyun waited until he entered the courtyard before looking at her uncle.
Jiang Wenming thought it was really about eating wontons, and he even asked the owner what kind of fillings were available.
Jiang Jiyun covered her face and said, "Uncle, you really are a foodie."
After saying that, she reached out and pinched the soft flesh on his waist hard.
"Hiss..." Jiang Wenming gasped, this girl was too ruthless.
Jiang Jiyun clutched her stomach and said, "Brother Xiaotian, I need to go to the toilet. My uncle and I will go back first. You can pack it up in a lunchbox and take it back with you later."
Xiao Tian watched as his uncle turned around and carried Xiao Yun on his back, running towards their home.
The owner saw two people leave and quickly came over and said, "Young man, you need to pay for the wontons after they're cooked!"
Seeing that the shop owner seemed to have misunderstood, Xiao Tian quickly waved her hand and explained, "Boss, please don't misunderstand! Of course I want wontons, that's why I've been waiting here."
"Look, we brought lunchboxes with us. Once you've cooked your meal, you can just pack it in the lunchboxes and take it with you," Xiaotian said, taking the lunchboxes out of her bag.
The shopkeeper's gaze was drawn to the silver lunchbox that Xiaotian had placed on the table. He said with a look of envy, "Oh my, this thing is actually a lunchbox! This is the first time I've ever seen one like this!"
Just then, Jiang Jiyun and Jiang Wenming turned around and caught a glimpse of Xiao Tian talking to the boss.
The two exchanged a glance, understood each other perfectly, and without saying a word, they dashed past the gate of their temporary residence as if they had oil on their feet.
They ran wildly to the other side of the wall of the neighboring courtyard, and then clung to the wall like two geckos.
Then they cautiously peeked out, secretly observing whether Xiaotian had discovered their escape.
"Uncle, we need to hurry and finish this quickly!" Jiang Jiyun whispered.
She figured she was definitely going to get a beating today, so she figured she might as well charge a little extra money to at least give her a little comfort to her soon-to-be-severed backside.
Jiang Wenming quickly squatted down, steadied himself in a horse stance, crossed his arms, and prepared to lift him up.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Jiyun took a few steps back, then sprinted forward, finally landing firmly on her uncle's hand.
With a muffled groan, Jiang Wenming used all his strength to lift Jiang Jiyun up, and Jiang Jiyun flew up to the courtyard wall like a light swallow.
Jiang Jiyun, hanging on the courtyard wall, looked at the few lit spots in the courtyard, indicating that not many people lived here.
Just then, Jiang Wenming, panting heavily, struggled to climb up the courtyard wall, muttering to himself, "Why build such a dilapidated courtyard so high? I almost couldn't get up there."
Both Jiang Jiyun and Jiang Wenming wore thick cotton gloves to prevent their hands from being cut by the sharp porcelain shards on the courtyard wall.
However, just as they were about to climb over the wall and enter the yard, a dog suddenly barked.
"Wang Wang Wang..."
"Wang Wang Wang..."
Jiang Jiyun looked down and saw two bright eyes staring at them fiercely from below the courtyard wall.
Beside the big dog were several small dogs, who seemed to have also noticed the commotion above the courtyard wall and began to bark alertly.
Faced with this sudden situation, Jiang Jiyun quickly took out some medicinal powder from his personal storage space and sprinkled it below the courtyard wall.
"Achoo!" Just as the powder was sprinkled, a loud sneeze suddenly rang out.
The sneeze startled both Jiang Jiyun and Jiang Wenming, who had no idea there was someone under the courtyard wall.
Following the sneeze, several thuds of people falling to the ground were heard.
The drug powder took effect, and the people below were knocked unconscious and collapsed.
Jiang Jiyun and Jiang Wenming exchanged a glance, understanding each other perfectly, and quickly flipped over and jumped into the yard.
Jiang Jiyun stood still, his gaze fixed on the unusually large black dog on the ground. It was much larger than an ordinary dog, and there were four small black dogs lying next to it.
Jiang Jiyun's heart skipped a beat. This black dog looked very strong. Could it be the Tibetan Mastiff he had seen before?
If she could add it to her own space, it might be able to expand her hunting dog army.
Jiang Jiyun reached out and put both the big and small dogs into her spatial storage. People who can keep dogs like these must be rich!
Jiang Wenming then focused his attention on the unconscious person on the ground.
He observed carefully and found that the man's clothes were very worn and covered with patches, and even his shoes were patched on top of each other. Moreover, the calluses on his hands were not caused by shooting, but were indeed the result of years of manual labor.
Jiang Jiyun glanced at the man and said, "Judging from his appearance, he must be a lowly servant in this household. He won't wake up for the time being, so let's go in and check on him."
Jiang Wenming nodded, and the two of them made their way towards the house.
They moved very quietly, afraid of disturbing the people inside the house.
However, shortly after they left, the person who had been unconscious on the ground suddenly sat up and muttered to himself, "Finally found it!"
Xiao Tian returned to the yard with her lunchbox.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he shouted, "Xiaoyun, I brought back the wontons!"
Inside the house, Jiang Jiyuan, who had just finished showering, stopped abruptly when he heard Xiao Tian's shout.
His face instantly darkened, and he cursed inwardly, "Well, those two liars! I knew they were acting strangely today, saying they wanted to go for a walk and that they were hungry and wanted to eat wontons. They were just lying to me!"
Xiao Tian searched the house but couldn't find them. He wondered, "Could they have gone outside to use the outhouse?"
Xiao Wei glanced sympathetically at the honest-looking boy, then said with certainty, "They definitely couldn't have just gone to the outhouse; they must have gone somewhere else."
Jiang Jiyuan asked them, "You were with them today, entering the city before us. Did you notice anything unusual on your way back?"
Sun Jiaguo and the others began to carefully recall what had happened since they entered the city that day.
Just then, Hu Dahe suddenly slapped his thigh and exclaimed in realization, "This afternoon, didn't Xiaoyun climb the tree to look next door? She seemed to have talked to Uncle Jiang about some fat guy. Could it be that the fat guy is someone they know?"
Upon hearing Hu Dahe's words, Jiang Jiyuan suddenly turned his head, looked at the tall courtyard wall, and seemed to be thinking about something.
Upon hearing the word "fatty," Xiao Wei inexplicably pictured Yue Jiayu in his mind.
Xiao Wei took a deep breath and slowly said, "They do know a rather fat person, but that person is the sister-in-law of Chief of Staff Jiang Wenxing of the National Revolutionary Army, named Yue Jiayu. However, she should be in Yichun City, how could she be here?"
