Ma Chao walked out of the masters' room with a serious expression. He walked hurriedly and went straight back to the room where they were currently staying.

As soon as he entered the room, he quickly picked up his cell phone and made a call, relaying exactly what Jiang Jiyun had said before.

At this time, the sky outside the window was gloomy, as if foreshadowing the impending disaster.

If a drought really comes, the land will dry up and the crops will wither, and the people will have nothing to harvest; locusts will come in overwhelming numbers, leaving a barren land wherever they go and eating up all the crops; coupled with frequent wars, people will be displaced and their lives will be even more miserable.

How many innocent lives will be lost when these three natural and man-made disasters are combined? Ma Chao felt sad when he thought of this.

Fortunately, the war has temporarily stopped, giving everyone a chance to breathe and use this precious time to make adequate preparations.

When everyone sat together enjoying dinner, Fu Mengchun finally found out the real name of Sister Aji - it turned out that her name was Jiang Jixue.

Moreover, Jiang Jixue is actually related by blood to these people brought back by her brothers. They hugged each other and cried today because they recognized each other.

Fu Mengchun couldn't help but recall the previous scene. No wonder she had caught the deep worry and endless heartache in Sister Aji's eyes when she looked at the unconscious child. No wonder she gave the hat that she had spent a long time making to the child. It turned out that that was her sister.

At this time, Fu Mengchun raised his head, his eyes fell on Jiang Jixue, and then he asked in a low voice: "Sister Aji, will you...will you leave with them?"

Jiang Jiyun, who was sitting in Jiang Jixue's arms, heard this and immediately widened his eyes. He answered without hesitation: "Of course! Sister Xue is my cousin. She must go home with us because there are many relatives at home who are looking forward to our return!"

"Oh! It's my duty, it's my duty." Fu Mengchun looked at Jiang Jixue reluctantly and lowered his head.

"Ah, ah, ah..." Jiang Jixue patted her hands to comfort her.

"My sister said that you can come to our place when you have time, or she will come to see you." Jiang Jiyun helped translate.

Jiang Jixue looked at her little cousin in surprise, then she smiled and nodded.

"Sister Fu, thank you for saving my cousin. If it weren't for you, my cousin would probably..." Jiang Jiyun said with red eyes and a slightly trembling voice.

Fu Mengchun was a little overwhelmed by Jiang Jiyun's sudden thanks. She waved her hands and said, "Oh, sister Xiaoyun, don't be so polite. I just happened to pass by there. We are all Chinese people. It is natural for us to help each other at such a critical moment!"

As she spoke, a faint blush appeared on Fu Mengchun's pretty little face.

Fu Jingming, who was standing by, couldn't help but smile when he saw his sister looking so shy.

He picked up a piece of scrambled eggs and gently placed it in the bowl in front of Jiang Jiyun, then said gently: "Jiyun, we should also thank you very much."

Jiang Jiyun looked at him in confusion, "Why are you thanking me?"

"That time, you figured out that something happened at my home and reminded me to go back and check. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous!" Fu Jingming looked at Jiang Jiyun and reminded her.

"Perhaps my family has already met with an accident, and you would have no chance to reunite with your sister Xue. So, it all depends on you to save your sister Xue this time!" Fu Jingming sighed.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Jixue and Fu Mengchun, who were sitting quietly at the table, turned around at the same time and looked at Jiang Jiyun in astonishment, obviously very surprised by his words.

They were frightened when they thought of that night when three ferocious-looking men broke into the Fu family.

At that time, Fu Mengchun was in extreme danger and was about to be killed.

The lives of Fu's parents were also hanging by a thread, and their lives depended on that moment.

Fu Jingming suddenly came back and killed the gangsters in the blink of an eye.

Afterwards, he took the four frightened people away from the dangerous place without hesitation and came to the base, where he let them settle down.

Thinking back to that day, if Fu Jingming had returned home even a moment later, the consequences would have been disastrous.

The entire Fu family would probably be wiped out in that catastrophe, and Jiang Jixue would naturally not be spared and would definitely die that night.

At this moment, their eyes were all focused on Jiang Jiyun, making her feel a little uneasy.

She coughed twice nervously, trying to hide her inner panic, while her brain was working rapidly, racking her brains to think of a way to deal with the situation.

Seeing this, Jiang Wenming, who was standing by, quickly spoke up to help his niece: "Hey, don't look at her like that! In fact, she doesn't have any magical powers. She just overheard a conversation between a few men."

Jiang Wenming looked at the guilty Jiang Jiyun and continued, "At that time, she had no idea what the Fu family was like. It was only after she met you that she remembered this matter and reminded you of it."

After seeing Fu Jingming's eyes, Jiang Jiyun lowered his head to eat.

After the meal, Jiang Jiyun followed Jiang Wenming and others to see the old men off. He expressed his gratitude again for their life-saving grace and prepared a lot of food and meat for them to take back.

Jiang Jiyun gave each of them a foreign gold coin as a token of trust. On the back of the gold coin was a five-pointed star mark that Jiang Jiyun had asked Ma Chao to carve.

Two days passed and Ma Chao and his friends discussed and prepared to leave as it was about to snow here.

Before it snowed, Jiang Jiyun lay on Ma Chao's back and followed them into the mountains to hunt, catching some live prey to replenish the space.

Afterwards, Jiang Jiyun left some special medicines, weapons, ammunition and grain seeds to Fu Jingming before leaving.

They didn't reach the border between Ji Province and Lu Province until the end of the year. The Japanese inspections became increasingly strict along the way, so they had to walk or ride in ox carts most of the time.

It took them nearly three months to pass one level after another. They stopped for a day to celebrate Jiang Jiyun's birthday.

"The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Let's not rush on our journey. Let's celebrate the New Year here," Ma Chao suggested.

"Then let's go to a village and rent a house to live there for a few days." Jiang Jiyun suggested.

They came to a fairly busy market in the countryside of Nan County, and after asking around, they rented a small courtyard nearby and lived there.

Jiang Jiyun was curious about what was sold at the New Year's market here, so she pestered Jiang Wenming to take her out for a walk.

Ma Chao asked the rest of the people to clean up the house at home, and Jiang Jixue directed them to work at home. He and Xu Fan accompanied Jiang Wenming and Jiang Jiyun to buy some things.

Jiang Wenming was hugging Jiang Jiyun, and she was holding a candied haws that Ma Chao bought for her.

They bought a lot of chickens and ducks, a pair of live lambs, and a few geese.

When a few people were buying things enthusiastically, they suddenly heard a woman's voice behind them.

"Jiang Wenming, why are you here?"
