Jiang Jiyuan looked at his sister's serious expression, and a feeling of pity welled up in his heart.

He gently stroked Jiang Jiyun's hair and said softly, "When we return, we'll send you to school. You can't go on without knowing how to read."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jiyun glared at his brother with some dissatisfaction and retorted, "Who said I can't read? I know a lot of words!"

Jiang Jiyuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, but did not speak.

Whenever Jiang Jiyun had free time, he would pick up a medical book and recite it attentively.

At the beginning, her reading was not smooth. She needed to open her eyes wide and carefully identify some words for a long time before she could read them.

On the contrary, Jiang Wenming, who was standing by, heard her struggling to read and felt that his heart was about to burst.

He really couldn't stand this torture, and Jiang Wenming finally couldn't help it and reached out to take over the task of reading.

Jiang Jiyun stood aside, reciting the text with Jiang Wenming, without stopping his hands, and continued to grind the herbs skillfully.

So Oda, Xiaowei and the others have become accustomed to Jiang Wenming reading a sentence, followed by Jiang Jiyun.

Suddenly, a "wooooo..." sound came from outside.

Although the sound was not loud, it seemed particularly abrupt and even a little creepy in the quiet of the night.

Jiang Jiyun's voice of reciting suddenly stopped, and he was obviously frightened by the sudden crying.

Pei Heng on the other side of the tent was so frightened that he trembled all over. Then, like a frightened little rabbit, he quickly hugged his aunt's waist and buried his little head deep in her arms.

Zhang Jun stared intently at the little sister who was reciting the medical book sentence by sentence, and was secretly amazed in his heart.

He never imagined that this young child, who could not even read and write, had such profound attainments in medicine.

Recalling the injuries of his brother and sister-in-law Wen Xue, it seemed that they were all handled by this little sister personally.

This made Zhang Jun admire her abilities even more, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "She is really amazing!"

However, just as Zhang Jun was immersed in his own thoughts, he suddenly felt a burning gaze falling on him.

He suddenly came to his senses and found Jiang Jiyun looking back at him with a puzzled look.

Zhang Jun was a little embarrassed when he was discovered, but he still forced himself to look at Jiang Jiyun.

At this moment, Jiang Jiyun seemed to suddenly remember something and asked, "Are you the brother Sister Pei mentioned who can rub bullets with his hands and modify guns?"

This question surprised Zhang An as well. He looked at his brother in surprise, obviously having no idea that Zhang Jun had such skills.

Facing everyone's gaze, Zhang Jun's face turned red instantly.

He scratched his head sheepishly and explained, "Uh...actually, I didn't modify the gun. The gun we found was already broken, and I just fixed it. Also, the barrel of the gun had already exploded, so it looked quite serious."

"So I found a lump of iron, which I succeeded in melting down, and then made a mould of myself, which I turned into a gun barrel."

"It's just that I seem to have made some small mistakes in the calculation process. This caused the bullet of this gun to be slightly smaller than other ordinary bullets."

"I had originally intended to carefully check and adjust the various parameters of this gun to ensure its performance was perfect. However, since Sister Nian needed to go out, I had to hastily hand over this incomplete gun to her."

"Due to the time constraints, I only prepared a handful of a dozen bullets. This means that Sister Nian may face the dilemma of insufficient ammunition when using this gun."

Zhang Jun looked at Pei Nian with a guilty look on his face and said sincerely, "If Sister Nian hadn't been lucky enough to meet you, she probably wouldn't have been able to return safely with just those dozen bullets."

Pei Nian looked embarrassed and quickly waved his hands, saying, "You can't blame me for this. It's all my own fault. I'm really a noob!"

When Jiang Jiyun heard this word, he immediately turned around and continued to recite, ignoring Pei Nian's modesty.

Zhang Jun, who was sitting next to him, was confused and had no idea what the word "vegetable" meant, but Zhang An understood it. He knew that this must be Jiang Jiyun's evaluation of Pei Nian.

Jiang Jiyun's wandering eyes accidentally caught a glimpse of the half-smile on Zhang An's face, and he suddenly felt guilty.

But she still pretended to be calm and defended herself, "That's right. Seeing the Japanese charging towards us, there are still people standing there in a daze. What else can this be?"

When Pei Nian heard these words, his face, which had been as pale as paper due to excessive blood loss, suddenly flushed, as if someone had stabbed him in the vitals.

After all, if Jiang Jiyun had not acted decisively and killed those Japanese soldiers who suddenly appeared, he might have really died in that alley.

Zhang An hadn't expected this to happen. He couldn't help but say to Jiang Jiyun, "Distraction is truly the worst thing to do during a battle. This is her problem, and you're absolutely right."

Jiang Jiyun lowered her head embarrassedly and ground the herbs. She didn't know Pei Nian at that time, and she didn't know that Pei Nian was Zhang An's young wife!

Seeing that she had no intention of memorizing the book, Jiang Wenming smiled and put the book away without reading it.

Jiang Jiyuan understood what he meant and winked at Zhang An, then turned and walked out of the room.

After the two came outside, Jiang Jiyuan's face became extremely serious. He lowered his voice and said to Zhang An, "Zhang An, take your family and leave first tomorrow!"

Zhang An remained silent, just looking at Jiang Jiyuan quietly. He was very aware of everyone's concerns and worries.

However, he also clearly understood the responsibilities and missions he shouldered.

Zhang An knew the difficulties his family was facing, but he knew better what he should do.

After careful consideration, he finally said, "I will arrange everything properly. With Zhang Jun and Pei Nian here, they will definitely be able to leave here safely."

Jiang Jiyuan looked at Zhang An in astonishment, as if he was very surprised by his decision.

He couldn't help but ask, "Are you really confident in doing this?"

Zhang An nodded without hesitation and replied firmly, "I've thought it through. I don't plan to take them to Gan Province. Xiaojun is a very smart kid. I think the arsenal at the base might be more suitable for his development."

Jiang Jiyuan looked at the calm Zhang An and felt that he was really no match for him. Perhaps he was still selfish and he was not as selfless as Zhang An.
