Jiang Jiyun rushed out before he could react, and as soon as his hand touched his body, he put it directly into the square in the space.

It took only a moment to take it in, and another moment to throw it out.

Looking at Director Gou who was silent, she quickly left the place.

After exiting through the dog hole, she quickly returned to Jiang Wenming and whispered, "Uncle Wenming, I just saw the bride run away. Let's leave quickly! It's not safe here anymore!"

Jiang Jiyun pretended to be hungry again and shouted, "Uncle, I'm hungry!"

"Are you hungry? Uncle will go back and make porridge for you!" Jiang Wenming hugged her and quickly left this dangerous place.

I had only run down one street when I heard the opera behind me had stopped. All I could hear were children crying and adults screaming.

"Fortunately we escaped quickly!" Jiang Wenming hugged Jiang Ji and looked back at the chaos there.

When I got back to the hotel, I saw my grandfather talking to the innkeeper. The innkeeper looked at the two of them and asked, "Why did you come back so soon?"

"Oh! Shopkeeper grandpa, you don't know! Something happened there. Fortunately, I was hungry and my uncle brought me back to eat. As a result, we saw that the place was in chaos not long after we walked away!" Jiang Jiyun patted his chest pretending to be afraid.

The shopkeeper's face changed and he said, "Go back to your room and don't come out!"

He quickly closed the shop door and went back to the backyard. Master Jiang Liu also quickly took them back to the backyard. When he saw their ox cart, he began to worry, because their guns were hidden under the cart!

Jiang Jiyun followed his gaze and ran over to the car to take the things down.

Jiang Wenming watched her running towards the cowshed with four submachine guns in her arms.

When he wanted to go over to take a look, Jiang Jiyun came back running.

When she came back into the house, she put all the bullets into her bag, then ran out with her things. After making sure nothing was left out, she turned off the lights and went to sleep.

In the middle of the night, there was a knock on the door of the inn, and the owner hurried over with an oil lamp to open the door.

"Why are you opening the door now?" asked the impatient Imperial Army soldier at the door.

The shopkeeper bowed his head and said, "Sir, I was already asleep in the backyard, and I ran over when I heard the noise! What happened that made you come out to search so late at night?"

The leader's face looked better and he walked into the inn and asked, "Let me see your hotel records!"

The shopkeeper quickly went behind the counter and took out a notebook, and used an oil lamp to illuminate the notebook so that he could check it more easily.

"Why don't you install electric lights?" the man asked the shopkeeper with a frown.

"It's because I have no money. The money I earn from this small shop in a year is not enough to support my family. I can't even get the deposit to open an account!" said the shopkeeper helplessly.

"Go check the backyard! See if there's anyone suspicious?"

The group of people behind them rushed to the backyard, and the shopkeeper begged in tears, "Sirs, please have mercy, don't smash anything, our shop is small and we can't afford the compensation!"

Jiang Jiyun and the others were woken up, and all the people staying in the hotel were kicked out.

The men and women standing in the yard were pulled aside and compared one by one and then released.

The shopkeeper sat down on the ground with weak legs after watching the man leave. His wife came over and helped him up. The other guests in the inn all sighed.

Jiang Wanting whispered, "When will this kind of day end?"

"It's so difficult! I don't know if I can wait until that day!" said the shopkeeper's wife in tears.

"It will be done soon! Those grandpas, uncles, brothers, aunts and sisters are all working hard for it! They are fighting desperately in the front to drive away the invaders and bravely killing the enemies on the battlefield! I believe they will do it soon!" Jiang Jiyun took Jiang Wanting's hand.

"Hopefully!"

The next day, Jiang Jiyun and his colleagues saw that the entire City X was under martial law.

The shopkeeper looked at the family's confusion and said, "Director Gou was killed, the bride disappeared, and the Gou family was evacuated! I heard that there was military funds raised for the devils, but now it's all gone!"

Jiang Liuye was shocked. "So many things are missing. It's not something that one person can do! There must be at least dozens of people, right?"

"That's right, that's why the city is under martial law now, and the Japanese and the Imperial Army are searching everywhere!" said an uncle who was eating a steamed bun nearby.

Master Jiang Liu asked in confusion, "What if we leave the city? We have to go to S City to seek refuge with our relatives?"

"We can't leave for now. Let's wait until this is over!" said an old man on the other side.

"Oh my! When can we get to our relatives' house?"

The people in the lobby were helpless in seeing Mr. Jiang Liu's sorrow.

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "We are just unlucky. This kind of situation has always happened. It happens from time to time. It's just that this time it's a bit more serious than before. Previously, those high-ranking Japanese officials were assassinated, but now so much military funds have disappeared. I'm worried that the Japanese will get angry and start a massacre!"

"No way?" Jiang Wenming was shocked.

They had just escaped from their hometown, they wouldn't encounter another massacre, would they?

"It shouldn't happen. We also have the New Fourth Army hiding here, as well as in the neighboring Province A. There are also many guerrillas. If they dare to massacre the city, those troops will never stand idly by!" After the shopkeeper said this, he lowered his head, tears just fell, and then he started to cry.

Seeing him like this, outsiders like Jiang Jiyun were stunned, and the locals also sighed.

The old man on the other side also said with red eyes, "Feiyuan! Take it easy! You still have grandchildren to raise!"

"I know! I just feel sorry for my son and daughter-in-law! We can't even find their bodies after they died!" The shopkeeper wiped away his tears.

"Where can we collect them? Such a big city has almost been massacred. Where can we find so many people?" After the old man said this, he sat there in a daze.

"Uncle! You..."

"Feiyuan! I feel like my time is almost up. I often see them looking at me and smiling!"

"Uncle, no, there are many people who escaped there, and they may be hiding somewhere else!" The shopkeeper came to the old man and persuaded him with tears in his eyes.

"I can't wait any longer! I also hope they are all alive! Only when they are alive there is hope!"

"Will do!"

"Wife, I'll take my uncle back and you take care of the store!" The shopkeeper helped the old man away.

Jiang Wenming and the others were still confused. Jiang Liuye had only heard some rumors, and only Jiang Jiyun guessed where they were talking about.

"Is it JL City?"

When the shopkeeper's wife heard this, she turned to look at the short-haired girl and asked, "Did you know?"

"Yeah! I heard from someone that they massacred 300,000 people there!"

"what?"

"How dare they?"
