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

Chapter 789: Settling the Children

When Jiang Jiyun heard that her brother didn't want to take the child away, she looked at the little sister with deep worry and concern in her eyes.

The little girl's nose was red because she had just cried before going to bed. It made people feel pity for her.

Jiang Jiyun took a deep breath, then turned to look at Jian Yizhi and solemnly warned him, "Big brother, if one day after the Japanese are driven away, her family still hasn't found her, and no one has adopted her, please contact my brother immediately. We will definitely raise her and give her a home."

Jian Yizhi looked down at the little sister and saw that her eyes were full of worry.

A strong sense of responsibility surged in his heart, so he nodded solemnly and said, "Okay, I promise you, if I am still alive before then, I will always pay attention to the life of this child and I will do my best to take care of her."

Jiang Jiyun clenched her fists tightly. She certainly understood the meaning of Jian Yizhi's words. The war was still going on, and the cruel reality made it impossible to predict the future.

No one can guarantee that they will survive until the end of the war, but everyone has not been defeated by fear and uncertainty, and has been working hard for the belief in their hearts.

She nodded vigorously and said firmly, "Brother Jian, we will all live to see the day when we are the masters of our own house! We will definitely defeat the enemy and usher in peace and freedom."

Jian Yizhi's nose felt sore and tears filled his eyes. He choked and said, "Okay, if that day comes and she really has no family left, I will bring this child to find you in person."

Peng Yongyan and Yan Wen stood beside the car, quietly waiting for Jiang Jiyuan and the others.

Peng Yongyan's gaze inadvertently fell on a slope not far from the mass grave. The slope looked a little strange and caught his attention.

He frowned at the slope, a surge of curiosity in his heart.

So, he turned to Yan Wen and said, "Let me help you get in the car, and I'll go over there and take a look."

Yan Wen nodded, and with the help of Peng Yongyan, she slowly got into the car.

After Yan Wen sat down steadily, Peng Yongyan walked towards the slope that made him feel suspicious.

As he walked, he carefully observed the surrounding environment, not missing any details.

At this time, Jiang Jiyun learned that his little sister was about to be sent away, and he couldn't help feeling reluctant.

She held her uncle's hand tightly and brought him behind a deserted big tree.

After entering the space, Jiang Jiyun quickly opened a box filled with various items she had prepared for Xiaobao and her nephews and nieces.

She first took out some milk powder, and then took out some children's clothes and shoes from the box. These clothes were all taken out from the mall, and she had washed them herself, so they could be worn without any maintenance.

Just as Jiang Jiyun continued to pack things into the bag, Jiang Wenming suddenly said, "You'd better not prepare too many things."

There was a hint of helplessness and sigh in his voice.

Jiang Jiyun's movements suddenly stopped. She raised her head and looked at her uncle, a trace of sadness flashing in her eyes.

She recalled the experience of herself and Xiaobao being bullied, which made her feel even more depressed.

After a moment's silence, Jiang Jiyun seemed to have made up his mind and said to his uncle, "Uncle, I'll prepare some more money and ask Captain Jian to find an honest and decent family to temporarily raise my little sister. At least they will treat her better for the money."

Jiang Wenming nodded in agreement.

He picked up the two large bags that Jiang Jiyun had prepared and said casually, "Okay, I'll go talk to Captain Jian about this."

Jiang Jiyun quickly turned around and ran towards the box not far away.

She quickly opened the box, took out a cloth bag, and put the dollars in the box into the bag.

Jiang Wenming looked at the bulging cloth bag, which was obviously filled with a lot of money.

Jiang Jiyun generously filled half a bag with Western-style clothes, and the heavy feeling made her feel more at ease.

Jiang Wenming stood aside, watching this scene, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

He muttered to himself, "That's almost fifty or sixty dollars! It's enough to support this child for several years. I don't have to worry about him taking the money and not doing anything."

After they packed up their things, they walked out of the space together.

Jiang Wenming, carrying two large bags, walked straight towards the military truck where Captain Jian and his men were parked.

They had left the truck there before, and it now belongs to Jian Yizhi's team.

Jiang Wenming walked to the truck and gently placed the two large bags in the cab.

Then, he took out the cloth bag full of dollars from his pocket, walked to the edge of the big pit, handed it to Jian Yizhi, and conveyed to him exactly what Jiang Jiyun had instructed.

At this time, Jiang Jiyun was brought back to the car by Xiaotian. Xiaotian took out the food prepared for her and let her fill her stomach first.

Jiang Jiyun took the food and started to eat it voraciously. She hadn't eaten anything all day.

While chewing on a piece of bread, she asked vaguely, "Sister Yan, why are you here alone? Where is Brother Peng?"

As she spoke, she did not forget to stick her head out of the car window and look outside.

However, she searched the crowd for a long time but still could not find Peng Yongyan.

Yan Wen looked worriedly at the direction Peng Yongyan had left, muttering to herself, "Brother Peng has been walking in that direction for quite a while, but he hasn't come back yet. I'm really worried, why don't I go over and take a look."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jiyun looked towards the deserted area. After thinking for a moment, he suggested, "How about this? Brother Xiaotian and I go over and take a look. Maybe Brother Peng is hiding out there to solve a personal problem. Sister Yan should wait in the car."

After hearing what Jiang Jiyun said, Xiaotian had no choice but to get out of the car. He was still wondering why he didn't call?

Jiang Jiyun still had a mouthful of pure milk in his mouth and a piece of cake in his hand. He ate as he walked, walking slowly in that direction.

The two men came to the edge of the slope and looked around, but did not see Peng Yongyan.

Xiaotian didn't see anyone, and he felt a little anxious. He turned to Jiang Jiyun and said, "Wait here first. I'll go look over there. If I can't find him, I'll call him and ask."

Xiaotian thought that Peng Yongyan might really be doing what Jiang Jiyun said and going to a secluded place to relieve himself, so he should not rashly take the child there.

So he asked Jiang Jiyun to stay where he was, and he walked quickly in another direction.

Seeing Xiaotian's arrangement, Jiang Jiyun thought it was quite reasonable, so he sat down on a stone on the slope and continued to drink milk and eat biscuits leisurely, planning to wait until he finished the last sip of milk before looking for Peng Yongyan.

"Click..."

"Ouch!"
