Jiang Jiyun held the reins of the old cow tightly and walked slowly forward. As she walked, she looked around vigilantly to make sure there were no other people around.

After confirming it was safe, Jiang Jiyun waved the old cow lightly and it landed on the grass on the other side of the river in the space.

The old cow seemed to understand its owner's intention, and obediently walked towards this mysterious and peaceful place to eat grass.

"Old friend, we are going to cross the river to H City in a few days, and we will certainly not be able to take you with us then. You have been with us for so long, going through all the ups and downs and sufferings. Now let you enjoy your old age here!" Jiang Jiyun said softly.

After saying this, Jiang Jiyun turned around and ran out. Not long after running, she arrived at the road leading to the village.

She nimbly climbed up a big tree, sat steadily on a branch, then took out an exquisite telescope from her arms and cast her eyes towards the group of people in the distance that caught her attention.

As the distance gradually shortened, Jiang Jiyun felt more and more that something was not right.

The appearance of the group of people before her was very different from the escaped Japanese devils she had imagined.

They were wearing tattered clothes that seemed to be stained with blood; they supported each other as they walked, and their steps were unsteady; what was even more striking was that each of them was holding a gun in his hand.

"Hmm? Why does that person in front look so familiar? Could that be my brother?" Jiang Jiyun's heart was shocked. He couldn't help but widen his eyes and looked carefully through the telescope again.

The moment she saw the man's face clearly, she couldn't help but exclaimed, "Brother Xuyang, my brother and the others are back."

Jiang Jiyun put away his exquisite telescope and hung up the Japanese's telescope with a broken lens.

Yan Xuyang, who had just set up an ambush and was ready to fight to the death, stood up in surprise after hearing this and said, "Brother Yuan? Why did he come back with so many people?"

Jiang Jiyun was also stunned for a moment before he reacted. His brother had already left the main force to become an undercover agent and would not bring XSJ with him.

"He must be a wounded soldier! He can't possibly bring the devil back with him, right?"

Yan Xuyang climbed up the tree again and saw the team coming over, and saw that it was really Jiang Jiyuan.

He came down from the tree, took his sister's gun and put it on his back, then took her hand and stood by the road waiting.

Gradually they saw the crowd on the opposite side, and Jiang Jiyun looked at the group of people behind her brother.

"It's that big official!"

Jiang Jiyun has now forgotten Lin De'an's name, he only remembers that he was a high-ranking official in the National Army.

Lin De'an laughed when he saw Jiang Jiyun's little thing. "Xiaoyun! Are you welcoming us?"

Jiang Jiyun looked at their team which originally had a hundred people and now only had a dozen or so left. It must be really difficult for them to fight this battle, right?

The clothes they were wearing were obviously taken from those damned Japanese devils; they were short and ill-fitting.

A closer look reveals that these clothes are not only tattered, but also covered in stains and blood.

The clothes inside had long lost their original colors, becoming dull and gray, and even showing signs of damage and tearing in some places.

Looking at the shoes on their feet, the situation is also not optimistic.

The uppers were badly worn, the soles were almost worn through, and even the toes were not completely covered, leaving them exposed.

"Brother, why did you come back with Uncle Daguaner?" Jiang Jiyun asked her brother.

"We also have to go back and contact our original unit. We met your brother on the way, and his name reminded me of you. I knew he was your brother when I asked. We just followed you here to thank you. We don't know if we will have the chance to meet again in the future." Qian Weiheng walked over and spoke to her with a smile.

"The village was burned down by the yellow dogs. We are all living outside now. Let's go back first. My sister-in-law is still worried about us." Jiang Jiyun looked at them and wondered how they could travel with only a gun in their hands and no other preparations.

Yan Xuyang said something to Jiang Jiyuan and went back with his gun on his back.

Jiang Jiyuan picked up his sister, looked at the broken telescope hanging around her neck and said, "Brother brought you a gift."

Jiang Jiyun, who was hugging his eldest brother's neck, smiled when he heard that his brother who had returned from the battlefield had brought him a gift.

"Really? You brought me a gift? Did you bring a gift for your sister-in-law?" Jiang Jiyun asked her brother when she thought of her pregnant sister-in-law.

"No, you can't buy anything there either. This was taken out from the dead bodies of the Japanese soldiers," Jiang Jiyuan explained to her.

When Jiang Jiyuan and his companions left, the city was filled with thick smoke that blocked out the sky. The once bustling streets were now deserted and empty.

Many houses had already collapsed under the fierce bombing, leaving only piles of broken bricks and rubble.

These ruins are piled up like mountains, forming a heartbreaking landscape.

With broken walls and shattered windows, the once cozy home is now beyond recognition.

Shattered objects and corpses could be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys. They were lying on the ground in all directions, telling of the endless suffering brought by the war.

The air was filled with a pungent smell of smoke, making it hard to breathe. Every step you took, you could hear a creaking sound under your feet, the sound of crushing bricks and glass, as if reminding people of the fierce battle that had just taken place here.

Looking at the devastated city, Jiang Jiyuan and his companions were filled with grief and anger.

He couldn't imagine how those innocent residents would deal with the pain of losing their loved ones and homes.

At that moment, they all secretly vowed to seek justice for this land and bring peace back.

Jiang Jiyuan took out a small yellow croaker from his pocket and handed it to his sister. "I brought it back because I know you like it."

"Hehe...I like it. When we settle down in H City, I will find a skilled craftsman and ask him to make a safety lock for my nephew and niece."

Yuan Guoliang looked at the smile on her face and asked, "Don't you need one yourself?"

"I have grown up. I will soon be an aunt, which means I am an elder. If I am an elder, then I am an adult. I want to be a role model for my nephews and nieces."

Listening to a child of a few years old saying seriously that they are elders and adults, a group of wounded people were amused and laughed.

Jiang Jiyun looked back at those people who were laughing with a confused look on his face and frowned.

"Ignore them, they are all fools." Lin De'an took the little girl from Jiang Jiyuan's arms.

When the group of people stepped into the village entrance, a heartbreaking scene appeared before their eyes - the once peaceful and harmonious village had now been completely devoured by a raging fire.

The once neatly arranged adobe houses and thatched roofs have now turned into ruins and scorched earth, as if telling of the devastating blow brought by the ruthless fire.

Although these adobe houses are simple, they carry the villagers' life memories and emotional sustenance. At this moment, all of this no longer exists. After the fire, only ruins and black ashes are left.

Looking at this dilapidated scene, the group of people couldn't help but feel sad. Those once warm and comfortable homes have now become unrecognizable and can no longer shelter people from the wind and rain, let alone be lived in.

"These beasts really deserve to die!"
