The old man and the old woman were frightened when they saw her suddenly lying on the ground, but after seeing her actions they quickly understood her intention. They nodded gratefully, their eyes full of emotion.

"Thank you! Thank you!" The old man's voice trembled with excitement.

He knew the world very well, and life-saving medicine like this was more precious than gold.

Now, this little grandson is the only one left in the family, and they are so grateful for him that they cannot express it in words.

After Jiang Jiyuan said goodbye to the family with his sister on his back, he hurried on his way, hoping to catch up with Yan Xuyang and the other three.

When the old man saw that everyone had left, he quickly ran back into the house, pried open a brick at the base of the wall, and carefully hid the small bottle inside. This was a life-saving medicine that was more valuable than gold, and it was also their family's life-saving talisman.

They never thought that when a large-scale plague broke out, a family of three would be on the verge of death and would be cured after taking this medicine. At that time, the three members of the family hugged each other and cried bitterly, expressing their gratitude to the brother and sister for giving them the medicine.

The old couple also asked their grandson to remember Jiang Jiyuan's name and repay him for saving his life when he meets him in the future. But that's a story for later.

Jiang Jiyuan carried his sister on his back for a while, and Jiang Jiyun reached out and poked her brother, "Brother, let's drive the donkey cart!"

"Okay, that will help us catch up with them quickly." Jiang Jiyuan put his sister down.

The original ox cart frame has now become a donkey cart frame. After Jiang Jiyuan installed the donkey cart, she saw that her sister had already spread a quilt on the donkey cart and took out a few bundles, and she herself had already crawled into the quilt.

"drive!"

The donkey, whose butt was slapped, stood there motionless. Jiang Jiyuan got off the donkey cart and pulled it, but it didn't move.

Jiang Jiyun, who had already laid down and was ready to sleep, poked her head out from under the quilt and saw her brother talking to the donkey. She asked, "Brother, why aren't you getting on with your journey?"

"No matter how much we pull it, it won't move. If this doesn't work, let's just walk!" Jiang Jiyuan had run out of ideas on what to do with this donkey.

"Here! Use a rope to pick up the vegetable with a stick and put it in front of it. I saw someone do this with a radish. Let's try it with vegetables!" Jiang Jiyun handed her brother a green vegetable and a thin hemp rope.

Jiang Jiyuan took it and walked to the side of the road to break off a longer branch.

When the green vegetables were hung in front of the donkey, it started to move. Seeing the vehicle moving, Jiang Jiyun put his head back into the quilt.

She wanted to go into the space to see why her brother couldn't see her big shopping mall?

After entering the space, she ran to the light screen. The pill was for life-saving and had been placed aside. When she took out the box, she saw the small words blocked by the box.

"So this mall is a compensation for me traveling to a war-torn alien world? What does that mean? Wasn't I supposed to travel here originally? Didn't they mistakenly send me here, so the mall is compensating me?" Jiang Jiyun scratched his head and guessed.

"So that's why Cheng Qingqing and my brother can't see that mall?"

Jiang Jiyun sat slumped on the ground, touching his head and said, "He's just a scumbag at school. How can he play such a brain-burning thing with a student with artistic talent like me? I can't figure it out!"

"Xiaoyun, wake up!" Jiang Jiyuan's voice rang out outside.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Jiyun asked, poking his head out from under the quilt.

"I see a village ahead. I'll go ask the villagers if your sister-in-law and her family have passed by here. Put on your clothes and come over to watch over the donkey cart." Jiang Jiyuan picked up her cotton jacket and put it on her.

After her brother put shoes on Jiang Jiyun, she stood beside the donkey's head. She took out a vegetable for the donkey to eat, then turned around and watched her brother go to the village to inquire about the situation.

Not long after, he walked out dejectedly. "It's useless. I can't understand what they say, and they can't understand me either. Let's just keep on going!"

Jiang Jiyuan awkwardly carried his sister into the cart and continued to drive the donkey cart. After driving for a day and a night, they replaced the donkey with an ox. In this way, the donkey and the ox took turns working every day.

Jiang Jiyuan and his sister were sitting in the car eating steamed buns. Jiang Jiyun scooped out another spoonful of beef sauce with a spoon and spread it on the steamed buns.

"These devils are so delicious. There's meat in the chili sauce!" Jiang Jiyuan didn't know about the big shopping mall and thought that this was the food for the devils that his sister collected.

"Brother, we must be very close to sister-in-law and the others. We need to look for them carefully when we get to the next county. They will definitely replenish their supplies before setting off again. They definitely can't walk as fast as we do." Jiang Jiyun was chewing on a steamed bun and drinking milk.

Looking at his sister's bowl of white milk powder with a milky smell, he simply couldn't drink it.

Seeing his brother's disgusted look, Jiang Jiyun drank the last sip of milk and said, "Don't you see? Your sister is so young and needs to grow up. Why haven't I grown up in this period of time? I need to drink milk powder to grow up. If I run one step, you have to run two steps to catch up with me!"

Jiang Jiyuan's mouth twitched as he looked at the child who was gnawing on the steamed bun fiercely. Wasn't it him who joked that her legs were too short when he saw her struggling to climb onto the ox cart?

Since the day before yesterday, this child has to drink milk powder for each of his three meals a day.

"Fortunately, there is milk powder among the Japanese supplies. This iron can of milk powder is a scarce commodity now. Drink as much as you can, sister. If there is no more, I will find a way to get some for you." Jiang Jiyuan coaxed her.

"You have a conscience!" Jiang Jiyun stuffed the uneaten steamed bun into his brother's hand.

Jiang Jiyuan took a bite without disgust. Food is precious now and many people can't get enough to eat.

In the evening they arrived outside the county town, where the Imperial Army checked the people entering the city one by one.

When it was the brother and sister's turn, Jiang Jiyuan pretended to limp as he led the donkey cart over.

"What are you two doing in the city?" The man asked as he looked at a kid of a few years old sitting on a donkey cart, while still looking at Jiang Jiyuan's legs.

"General, we are going to look for our relatives." Jiang Jiyuan answered hesitantly and a little fearfully.

Watching her brother's acting skills, Jiang Jiyun thought that after the war was over, her brother could go to a film studio to be an actor.

"Your accent sounds familiar. Where are you from?"

"General, we are from a small village under Haidong County of Lian City. All the elders in our family have passed away, so my brothers and sisters are going to live with distant relatives." Jiang Jiyuan poured out the last bit of money from his pocket.

The man looked at the two silver dollars, a dozen copper coins, and two five-dollar French francs in his hand.

He reached out and took the money, handed Jiang Jiyuan a wooden sign and said, "Go in!"

"Thank you, General!" Jiang Jiyuan took the sign and limped into the city pulling the donkey cart.

Sitting on the donkey cart, Jiang Jiyun looked at a few Japanese soldiers sitting not far away. Her eyes flashed and then she turned to look at the county town here.

"Brother, shall we go out to collect some things in the evening?" Jiang Jiyun said in a low voice.

"There are Japanese troops stationed here. We should be more careful. There are still so many civilians in the city. We can't provoke them and make them go crazy and massacre the city."
