When they rested, they stayed in the space and delivered weapons and ammunition to Ma Chao and others again and again.

During the last delivery, Jiang Jiyun unexpectedly found an unexpected small basket of candies.

"Brother, come and see! Here is a small basket of candies, and there is a letter inside!" Jiang Jiyun shouted excitedly, his eyes fixed on the exquisite wicker basket in front of him.

Jiang Jiyuan heard his sister's cry and came over immediately. He also saw the candies in the basket.

When he picked up the envelope, he thought of what Zhang An had told his sister about looking at the fire avoidance map, so he decided to open the envelope first to see what was inside.

There were two smaller envelopes inside the envelope. They were letters from Erlong and Zhouxi to Xiaoyun. Jiang Jiyuan handed the two letters to her and said, "These are letters from your good friends."

Jiang Jiyun also took the letter happily and sat aside, eager to see his own letter.

She first picked up the letter written by Zhou Xi. His handwriting was very beautiful.

Although she did not recognize some traditional Chinese characters, she was still able to roughly understand the meaning of the letter by guessing.

When Jiang Jiyun opened the letter Erlong wrote to her, she suddenly realized the expression on her brother's face when he saw the words she had written before.

It was an expression of surprise and amusement as she looked at the paper and saw that there were more circles than words, and there were even pictures in some places.

"Pfft," Jiang Wenming looked at the paper in Jiang Jiyun's hand and suddenly laughed out loud, "Xiaoyun, your handwriting is really unique. Only you and Erlong can eat from the same pot."

Jiang Jiyun looked at his uncle seriously and explained, "Uncle, I know my calligraphy isn't very good, but my penmanship is still acceptable."

Jiang Wenming looked at the time on his wristwatch and said, "Okay, since you have time now, why don't you write them a letter?"

Jiang Jiyun secretly sighed in his heart, the action above was so fast, Qiao Qingshan was actually married, and the wedding candy was given by the couple.

"Erlong said that Qiao Qingshan's wife is very beautiful, and Zhouxi said that Qiao Qingshan is a henpecked man." Jiang Jiyun told his uncle beside him excitedly.

Jiang Wenming curiously leaned over the scrawled paper and asked, "Where did he say the bride was beautiful?"

Jiang Jiyun suddenly pointed excitedly at a spot on the letter paper and said to Jiang Wenming with a smile on his face, "Uncle, look here! There's a head here, with two pigtails, and a veil next to it. Isn't this the bride?"

After hearing what Jiang Jiyun said, Jiang Wenming looked at her with an indescribable expression. Then he pointed at the round thing with a handle and asked in confusion, "What is this?"

Jiang Jiyun glanced in the direction Jiang Wenming pointed, then answered without hesitation, "Of course it's a big pumpkin. Look, there's a winter melon growing underneath it. Erlong said there's a bumper harvest this year, and he'll never go hungry again!"

Jiang Wenming continued to point to another part of the letter and asked, "Then what is this?"

Jiang Jiyun looked over again and explained with a smile, "Well, Erlong and his brother Dalong joined the children's group together, and Zhouxi has joined too!"

Jiang Jiyuan had also finished reading the letter by this time. After handing it to Zhang An and the others, his eyes fell on his sister, who was concentrating on writing her reply.

Jiang Jiyun actually wanted to write traditional Chinese characters, but the number of traditional Chinese characters she knew was very limited, and because of the large number of strokes, the characters she wrote appeared particularly large.

"Xiao Yuan, don't you plan to write a reply?" Jiang Wenming asked softly, looking at Jiang Jiyuan who was dozing off with his eyes closed.

Jiang Jiyuan heard the voice, slowly opened his eyes, and explained, "This is a thank-you letter from Qiao Qingshan. He thanked us for saving his life. He and his wife also gave us the wedding candy specially. If we need anything, we contact the higher-ups by phone."

After Jiang Jiyun finished writing the letter, he put it into Du Liuxuan's space, then took his brothers out of the space and continued on his long journey.

In the blink of an eye, it was the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, and they finally arrived at the territory of Hu Nan. As they got closer to Yu Ning's hometown, everyone's pace became faster and faster.

"It's already noon. Let's go to the river to rest. Chen Meng and Peng Yongyan will keep watch first." Zhang An saw Jiang Jiyun, who was walking behind them, gasping for breath.

They all heard the faint sound of running water. Everyone went over to wash their hands and faces. Jiang Wenming looked at the running water and said, "It's so cold here, but the water hasn't frozen yet."

"The temperature in the south is slightly higher than that in the north, so many places won't freeze." Jiang Jiyuan wiped his face with water, and he instantly felt much more energetic.

Jiang Jiyun was afraid of the cold, so she would rather go back to the space to wash her face and hands than touch the freezing river water.

"This is not a river at all, it's clearly a stream, and it flows down from the mountain. As long as we cross these two mountains, we can reach Ma'aopo on the other side of Baizhai. Yu Ning's home is in that village." As Zhang An spoke, he took out a map from his backpack, looked at it carefully, and then said to everyone affirmatively.

At this moment, Xiaotian suddenly exclaimed: "Hey! Look, why are there snakes in winter? I think I saw something swimming down from above!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's nerves tensed up instantly and they looked towards the stream vigilantly.

Jiang Jiyuan and the others quickly stood up. Zhang An quickly picked up the telescope and looked in the direction Xiaotian pointed. After a while, his face became serious and he shouted, "It's red! That looks like blood!"

When they heard that it was blood, everyone's heart skipped a beat, and the guns in their hands were loaded with a "click" sound, ready to deal with any possible danger at any time.

Jiang Jiyun widened his eyes, staring at the red liquid that kept flowing down, watching it quickly dye the originally clear stream scarlet.

"How many people have to die before the stream turns red?" Jiang Wenming's voice trembled.

Jiang Jiyuan took a deep breath, calmed himself, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, don't panic. Let's go upstream to check the situation first. Stay alert and be ready to fight at any time!"

He took the lead and walked upstream, and the others followed him carefully.

When they reached upstream, the sight before them was heartbreaking.

"What a beast..."

In the wide stream, many corpses were lying in all directions, and this area of water had become a purgatory of death.

The blood from these corpses was slowly flowing out with the flowing water, dyeing the surrounding stream red, creating a horrifying picture.

"Uncle, you and Xiaoyun check here to see if there are any survivors. Rescue those who can be rescued immediately. I'll go to the village ahead to check the situation." Jiang Jiyuan said solemnly.

After he finished speaking, he ran out with a gun in his hand, and his figure quickly disappeared at the end of the road ahead, along with Zhang An and the others.

Seeing this, Jiang Jiyun and Jiang Wenming took off their shoes without hesitation and rushed into the stream barefoot.

The cold stream water instantly soaked their trouser legs, but they had no time to care about it. They only remembered to find any remaining life as soon as possible.

The number of corpses lying in all directions in the stream was staggering, and a rough estimate was that there were at least hundreds of people.
