Jiang Jiyun stood under the light, carefully looking at the people in front of her. She was surprised to find that, apart from the familiar faces, the clothes they wore were even more worn out than those of ordinary people. This was completely different from the image she remembered.

"Shouldn't you have gone to Hu City a long time ago? Why are you suddenly showing up here?" Jiang Ping stared at the brother and sister in front of him with suspicion, his heart full of questions.

He first looked Jiang Wenming up and down, as if trying to find some clues from his expression or actions. After a moment's observation, he began to ask questions.

Facing Jiang Ping's questions, Jiang Jiyuan remained very calm.

He simply replied, "We spent the New Year in Hu City. We received a mission to escort a batch of important supplies to Jiaxing City. Now that we have completed the mission, we are preparing to go to the port to find a ship to go to the Northeast."

As he spoke, his eyes never left Jiang Ping and the others, as if he was secretly observing their every move.

"Going to the Northeast? That place has now been completely occupied. As far as I know, the Japanese have far more troops stationed there than we know. It's too dangerous!" When Qian Weiheng heard that they were planning to go to the Northeast, his brows instantly frowned and he said worriedly.

"We have to go no matter how dangerous it is! After much investigation, we learned that the folks in our village were captured by those unscrupulous devils and taken to the Northeast. I heard that they wanted to use these people to conduct some kind of human experiments. As for whether the villagers still have a chance of survival, no one can say for sure, but even if they unfortunately die, we will definitely bring their ashes back to their hometown!" Jiang Wenming's eyes were firm and his tone was sonorous and powerful, leaving no room for doubt.

"Alas! What's worse is that those viruses developed by the Japanese that you mentioned before have actually been used on the battlefield. We have accidentally been infected."

Jiang Jiyuan looked at the people with unhappy faces and asked, "What's wrong with you? What disease have you contracted?"

Qian Weiheng sighed and slowly sat down on the ground. As he spoke, he began to untie his leggings to show them to Qian Weiheng and others.

Jiang Ping and several other people's expressions suddenly turned extremely ugly.

Thinking back to the beginning, they went through untold hardships and finally managed to reach the shore before the end of last year with the help of many guerrilla brothers and sisters.

And that ship full of food saved countless lives! But now, facing such a serious situation, everyone felt heavy in their hearts, as if a huge rock was pressing down on them.

When they saw that the people were hungry, naked, and suffering from physical illnesses, they took out all the medicine they had brought from the ship.

Under the guidance of doctors brought in by the guerrilla comrades, only some of the people were temporarily treated, and those who could not be treated could only watch them die from the virus.

They seem to have been infected with the virus now. Everyone's legs have begun to rot. The doctor said that they were infected by the virus in the water source.

This time they also followed the guerrillas to escort food to Jiaxing City, and by the way, see if there was any life-saving medicine there.

Jiang Jiyuan and his companions looked at a group of patients with pale faces, and took out a small bottle containing seven or eight pills from their arms and said, "We came to Jiaxing for this matter. We also encountered plague in Jiashan, but we found a special medicine. I still have a few pills here. Why don't you take them first?"

Bai Jinyuan saw them talking and came over to ask Jiang Jiyun, "Xiaoyun, your uncle Liu Meng and the others..."

He asked halfway but then stopped asking because he was afraid they were all dead.

"Uncle Liu and the others said they were going to look for their team. They separated in Jiangbei and took the special medicine with them when they left. They should have been in contact with the team now!" Jiang Jiyun glanced at them and turned away.

"We have also joined the guerrillas. It's all the same thing anyway - fighting the Japanese. We will be family members from now on. This time we are going to Jiaxing to directly join the Xinsijun." Qian Weiheng said as he watched Jiang Jiyuan put the so-called special medicines into the kettle one by one.

Jiang Jiyuan shook the water in the kettle and took out two enamel cups from the car. "Everyone take a sip. This medicine is very effective."

Qian Weiheng was the first to take the teacup and took a sip. "Hey! How come there is no medicinal taste at all?"

Jiang Wenming helped pass teacups to the other people, and Jiang Ping and the others drank the medicine one by one.

"Oh! This medicine really works! My legs don't itch or hurt anymore!" Chen Boyuan said in surprise as he touched his legs that were itchy and painful every day.

Qian Weiheng and Jiang Ping also lowered their heads to look at their legs. Bai Jinyuan covered his chest in surprise. His chest pain had been getting worse in the past few days.

He thought his time had come, and he had even written a suicide note, waiting for that moment to come so he could ask Brother Qian and the others to take it back to his hometown.

But now his heart felt warm, as if a warm current was flowing in his heart.

"Brother Bai, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Ping turned around happily, wanting to have a chat with Bai Jinyuan. However, when his eyes met Bai Jinyuan's head lowered and his chest tightly covered, his heart couldn't help but tighten, and his concern was beyond words.

Seeing this, Jiang Jiyun hurriedly walked forward, put his hand on Bai Jinyuan's wrist, and began to take his pulse.

Time passed by minute by minute, and everyone held their breath, quietly waiting for the result.

Finally, after a moment, Jiang Jiyun withdrew her hand, but the look she gave Bai Jinyuan became extremely complicated.

"Uncle...are you a premature baby?" Jiang Jiyun asked softly, with a hint of doubt and uncertainty in his tone.

Bai Jinyuan nodded, with a wry smile on his face: "Yeah, I didn't expect that after not seeing you for such a long time, your medical skills have improved so rapidly!"

Hearing this, Jiang Jiyun immediately perked up. She raised her chin and said with a bit of pride: "Hehe... Of course, I am forced by Sixth Grandpa to learn Chinese medicine every day! Moreover, not only have my medical skills improved, I have also learned how to perform surgery on people!" When she said this, her face was full of pride.

But soon, Jiang Jiyun seemed to realize that he had been led astray, stared at Bai Jinyuan with wide eyes, and said anxiously: "Hey, Uncle Bai, please don't change the subject! Let's talk about your physical condition first!"

Seeing this, Bai Jinyuan couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Haha... you little guy, your brain works really fast!"

Then, he slowly sat down with the help of everyone, took a deep breath, and slowly narrated: "In fact, my family conditions are pretty good. My parents have loved me since I was a child. Since I was a premature baby, my physique is relatively weak. The doctor said that the chances of raising me to adulthood and starting a family are slim, so they have been carefully taking care of my body with all kinds of precious medicinal herbs. Later, when I went out to study, my father searched for precious medicinal herbs everywhere and asked an experienced old Chinese doctor to make pills for me to carry with me. If I run out of medicine now, I will be unable to hold on."

"Brother Bai! I was wondering why you look so bad recently, and you've lost a lot of weight. Why don't you say anything?" Chen Sen looked at Bai Jinyuan in front of him with a worried look on his face, his tone full of concern and confusion.

Bai Jinyuan pulled the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said softly: "Don't worry, brother, I'm fine, I've gotten used to this. I remember the doctor said that I was destined to die young."

Chen Sen quickly said, "Spit now, God won't care."

"I can now live smoothly until I am 22 years old. This is simply an extra blessing given to me by God! Besides, I have not lived in vain these years. I have fought in many battles, big and small, and killed so many Japanese devils with my own hands. Even if I die now, I will not regret it at all. After all, my life is worth living!"
