Jiang Jiyun turned around and looked at Jiang Wenming suspiciously, frowning and said, "Uncle, are you sure you didn't recognize the wrong person? Look at his face, it's horrible! Let's take a look at our Xiaobao, he is so delicate and handsome! How could such a guy who looks a little bit ugly be Xiaobao's father? I don't believe it!"

After saying that, he rolled his eyes at the man to show his dissatisfaction.

Jiang Wenming couldn't help but burst out laughing. He said as he laughed, "Your uncle was a really handsome guy back then! It's a pity that time is not forgiving. Now he has gone through many vicissitudes of life and has become much thinner. His hair is messy like weeds and his beard is not well groomed. He really doesn't look very impressive. But if he could go back to the past, your uncle would definitely be considered a handsome man!"

After hearing this, Jiang Jiyun's face was full of suspicion, and he obviously did not believe what Jiang Wenming said.

She took another careful look at her uncle lying on the bed, then shook her head and said, "Huh, can you call him a handsome guy when he looks like this? How come I can't tell at all!"

While the two were talking, Jiang Jiyuan and Xiaowu came in carrying a wooden basin each. Seeing this, Jiang Jiyun and Jiang Wenming quickly stepped back to make room for them to wash the patient.

Jiang Wenming picked up the rag stained with rotten flesh and quickly walked out of the room to dispose of these disgusting things properly.

After all, this kind of thing must not be left in the house, otherwise it will not only emit an unpleasant odor, but may also breed bacteria and worsen the patient's condition.

Jiang Jiyun approached his brother Jiang Jiyuan with curiosity on his face and said in a low voice, "Brother, Uncle Wenming actually said that he is Xiaobao's father!"

Jiang Jiyuan, who was wiping the patient's body, heard this and paused, frowning and replied, "I've never seen him either. When he came to our village to marry Aunt Yulan, I was studying in the county town. Later, the couple moved out, and I was not at home when Aunt Yulan went back."

Jiang Jiyun blinked his big eyes, scratched his head and asked in confusion: "Oh! But why don't I have any impression of him at all?"

After saying that, he began to try hard to search his mind for the appearance of this man named Chen Hongyi, but he found nothing.

Jiang Jiyuan turned to look at his sister's adorable look of deep thought, and couldn't help laughing, then patiently explained: "Silly girl, of course you haven't seen him. You don't know that when our Aunt Yulan got married, you were still staying in your mother's belly. Later, it was probably because Aunt Yulan was already pregnant and it was inconvenient for her to travel outside, so she specially returned to our hometown to wait for the birth of the baby. I just heard from Xiaowu that he asked other comrades to escort her back. As for your uncle, he may not have gone back with him because of his busy work."

After Jiang Jiyun heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he understood something, and he said excitedly, "So that's how it is, no wonder I've never seen him before! It turns out he never showed up at all!"

Xiaowu didn't expect that they would actually meet the relatives of the team leader. Fortunately, they came, otherwise they would have died here silently this time.

"Why is your captain here with just you two? Where is your team?" Jiang Jiyun asked Xiaowu curiously.

"Our team is still in Cixi. Our political commissar fell ill, so we contacted the underground worker in Jiashan. He said they had the plague and it had been cured, so we thought of going there to ask for medicine." Xiaowu wiped his tears as he spoke. This time, he and the team leader almost died.

Jiang Jiyuan looked at Xiaowu who started crying again and asked, "Why is your leader so badly injured?"

"Oh! Speaking of this, it was really thrilling! At that time, we landed at the Yanhai Wharf. Who could have thought that there was a fierce fight going on there! Originally, we had no intention of getting involved. We just wanted to leave that place as soon as possible."

"But guess what? When we saw those Japanese devils holding shining samurai swords and slashing at innocent people, we couldn't bear it! So we joined the rescue team without hesitation. What a pity..."

At this point, Xiao Wu couldn't help but sigh heavily, his face full of sadness and resentment, and then he said: "In that chaos, our leader was accidentally injured. If it weren't for the other brothers who fought desperately to protect him, I'm afraid the consequences would be disastrous!"

At this time, Jiang Jiyun, who had been listening quietly, frowned slightly and interrupted to ask, "You? Brothers? Could it be that you and them got separated?"

Xiao Wu nodded and said with a somewhat sad expression: "Yes, there were a total of more than a dozen of us who followed the captain at the beginning. However, when the captain was injured, the situation became critical. In order to ensure the captain's safe evacuation, squad leader Cheng and several other brothers resolutely stayed behind to cover our retreat."

After a pause, he continued, "After escaping from that dangerous place with great difficulty, I happened to meet a fellow villager who was on his way home. Thanks to the help of this kind-hearted man, we were able to get here. I thought I was finally out of danger, but who would have thought that I was so unlucky that I contracted this terrible plague right after arriving here and almost died here. It also caused our team leader to not have time to treat him."

"You've been here for two days? Haven't they come looking for us?" Jiang Jiyuan was a little worried about the safety of those people.

Xiao Wu lowered his head in worry, he had just joined the army not long ago, during this period he had seen the sacrifice of his comrades, he had experienced separation of life and death again and again, he now firmly believed that as long as they hadn't come looking for him he must still be alive.

Jiang Jiyun watched his tears drip onto the ground one by one and comforted him, "Brother Xiaowu, they didn't know you were staying in this village, right? Maybe they took the wrong road with you?"

"Well, we must have gone the wrong way." Xiaowu said with a sob.

At this time, Jiang Wenming walked in and said solemnly, "Lu Dong and his men have moved all the deceased people to the house at the end of the village. I heard that more than a dozen people have died, all of them elderly people and children."

Jiang Jiyun looked back at Jiang Wenming who walked in worriedly. "Now the people of Lugang Village have dispersed to other villages with the potion to help. Now we should be able to save many people."

"Um...Xiaowu..." The man on the haystack opened his eyes and saw Xiaowu squatting beside him and crying, and wanted to comfort him.

"Captain, are you awake? You are finally awake, wuwuwu..." Xiaowu started crying excitedly again.

Jiang Jiyun looked at the crying little brother and went over to Chen Hongyi and said, "Uncle, he is too excited, let him cry for a while, I want to talk to you!"

Chen Hongyi frowned when he saw the little head suddenly leaning over and calling him uncle. "Little kid, you may have recognized the wrong person. I have a wife and children. I don't know your aunt, and I am not your uncle."
