Jiang Jiyun had never personally experienced such a cruel scene, but she had seen what happened in the village with her own eyes, and she had also personally experienced the massacre in the county town.

"There is nothing they dare not do to invaders, so many people in our country rose up to resist, and that's why there are xsj and hj and many guerrillas, and even gj is now united against the outside world!"

Jiang Wenming looked at such a small child and wondered how he knew so much.

"Xiao Yun, how did you know?" Jiang Wanting asked her while sitting beside her holding the baby.

"Didn't you see them when we went into the city yesterday? Those people were dressed like decent people, as if they were afraid that others wouldn't know they were rich!"

Two men in suits carrying suitcases were standing at the door. When they heard what the little girl said, they were so embarrassed that they didn't know whether they should go in.

"Gentlemen, are you staying in the hotel or having a meal?" The shopkeeper's wife quickly asked the waiter to take the guests' luggage.

Jiang Jiyun turned around and saw the decent-looking people she mentioned and frowned. Why did they come to stay in such a small hotel when they were so rich?

The two of them were shocked when they saw the doubt in the child's eyes. No way? They were discovered just after they came over?

"Uncles, we are all ordinary people here!" Jiang Jiyun just said it casually as a reminder!

"We are just here to stay. Children should talk less so they can live longer!" Another man walked into the hotel with a cold face.

Jiang Wenming said angrily, "Say it again, if you dare to curse my child like that, I will beat you to death!"

Jiang Jiyun held Jiang Wenming back, and Uncle Jiang Liu also stood up and looked at the two men seriously, "My child is young and doesn't know the rules, please forgive me!"

Jiang Liuye pulled them out of the front and came to the backyard. Jiang Jiyun came to the old man with guilt and said, "Grandpa, I'm sorry. It's my fault today. I was wrong!"

"Child, we are out here with the old and the young. If we run into trouble, we might have to sacrifice everything and still not be able to save your life. I don't care what you mean. You are still young and what you need most is to grow up safely!"

Jiang Jiyun lowered his head and blushed with shame. He felt that he was a little too proud and nodded vigorously.

They stayed in the hotel for three whole days. Every day they went to check the city gate, which was already guarded by the Japanese. Only those with special passes issued by the Japanese could enter or exit.

The Japs in the city were busy searching for the gold every day. They searched and robbed at the same time. The common people were angry but dared not say anything. All words were useless in the face of guns, not to mention the invaders.

Jiang Jiyun was at a loss as she listened to those people's talk. Did she do something wrong? If she hadn't taken the gold from Director Gou's family, would these things have happened?

After returning to the hotel, Jiang Wenming took her to the cowshed to feed the cows and clean the cowshed. When Jiang Jiyun was feeding the cows with the grass provided by the shopkeeper, she noticed something was wrong.

She squatted down and pulled away the hay to find the box at the bottom. She could tell at a glance that this was the box carried by one of the two men in suits that day.

She quickly covered it up with fodder. While feeding the cows, she talked to Jiang Wenming, "Uncle Wenming, why are those two men in suits gone?"

"It seems like they only stayed for one night and then left! I don't know where they went. What happened? Do you want to find them and avenge them for scolding you?" Jiang Wenming spoke while cleaning up cow dung.

"No, I just wondered why they would stay in this small hotel when they were dressed so well."

Jiang Wenming stopped and said, "I thought so at the time. Why would someone who was dressed so beautifully come to live in this place? Later I guessed why!"

Jiang Jiyun looked at Jiang Wenming with an I-knows-what look on his face and asked curiously, "Uncle, what did you guess?"

"They must have spent all their money on clothes to look good, and then when they ran out of money they had to stay in a small hotel! Who knew that they would feel embarrassed by what you said and leave after staying for only one night!"

Jiang Jiyun was speechless when she looked at Jiang Wenming. This uncle's thoughts were what normal people would think. She would have thought the same if she hadn't seen the thing hidden there.

"We don't know if we can leave in the next two days?" Jiang Jiyun became a little nervous after seeing the box. Although he didn't know what was inside, if it could be hidden secretly, it would be a time bomb, and everyone here would be buried with it.

"It seems unlikely. Are these devils looking for military funds or something else? Who knows that the military funds come in boxes, how can they be found in people's homes? So many things will be very conspicuous! Are they doing something else under the guise of searching for military funds?" Jiang Wenming said, looking at Jiang Wanting, who was taking care of the children there, in horror.

"Uncle, what do you think Sister Wanting is doing?"

"Girl Yun, do you think the Japanese are looking for pretty girls from house to house? That must be the case! No, let Wanting dress up a little more rustic!"

Jiang Jiyun stared in amazement as Jiang Wenming ran over and pulled Jiang Wanting into the house.

Seeing that there was no one around, she ran to spread out the hay, put the box into the space, and restored the hay to its original state.

Two more days passed in silence, and the two men still didn't come back. When a group of people were having dinner, a large group of Japanese soldiers came, and everyone was scared so much that they stood up and huddled together.

The shopkeeper hurried forward and bowed his head and said, "Imperial Army! What's going on?"

A Japanese soldier talked a lot, and the translator behind him nodded obsequiously.

"The Imperial Army asked you if you have seen this person? Has he stayed in your store? Did he leave anything here?" the translator asked arrogantly.

"Who?" The shopkeeper was stunned.

The translator pointed at a man who was beaten to a bloody pulp, and two Imperial Army soldiers dragged the man over.

The shopkeeper walked over carefully and looked down for a long time but didn't see his face.

The Japanese soldier on the side grabbed the man's hair and lifted his face up.

The shopkeeper looked at him for a long time and said, "Imperial Army, I really don't know him. He is a person who comes and goes every day. I don't remember him!"

The man opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Jiyun and the others in the crowd. The determination in his eyes shocked Jiang Jiyun.

He was the one who said that he might not live long because he talked too much. It seems that what they left behind is really a hot potato.

The Japanese officer said something, and the translator shouted, "Go in and search thoroughly. Don't miss a single spot!"

The dozen or so Imperial Army soldiers and a dozen or so Japanese soldiers behind them all entered the hotel and began to search through all the drawers and cabinets. The people in the backyard also wanted to dig deep into the ground to find something.

The man lowered his head with nervousness in his eyes. He thought about how the little bald guy reminded him that these people were ordinary people. Would he really harm them?

Half an hour later, everyone came out with nothing. The man opened his eyes in surprise and looked up to see the bald kid looking at him.
