Traveling through the 1940s, the whole village was massacred at the beginning

Jiang Wenming and Xiao Wei had just poked their heads out from the courtyard wall when they suddenly saw in horror that Jiang Jiyun was rolling down the ladder like a ball out of control.

"Ouch!" Xiao Wei screamed in surprise. He climbed over the courtyard wall without hesitation and rushed to the place where Jiang Jiyun fell.

Jiang Wenming was also stunned by this scene, but he quickly came to his senses and followed suit by climbing over the wall.

Xiao Wei hurriedly helped Jiang Jiyun, who was lying on the ground, to sit up.

Jiang Jiyun's eyes were wide open, and now they were full of little stars after she felt dizzy.

However, just when Xiao Wei was about to ask her if she was hurt, Jiang Jiyun suddenly covered his mouth with his hand.

"Shh!" Jiang Jiyun whispered, looking around nervously.

Seeing this, Jiang Wenming immediately shut his mouth and dared not make a sound.

Jiang Jiyun continued to lie on the ground, listening attentively to the movements on the ground.

Jiang Wenming felt that Jiang Jiyun's behavior was a little strange, so he moved closer to her and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

After a moment, Jiang Jiyun slowly raised his head and said to them with a look of doubt on his face, "When I was climbing the ladder just now, I clearly heard a child crying, but now there is no sound at all."

Jiang Jiyun and Jiang Wenming exchanged a glance, then said solemnly, "I can guarantee that I didn't hear it wrong. The child's cry was very clear."

"So you didn't fall down because you were scared by the two of us, but you were scared by the sound?" Xiao Wei asked suspiciously, and then he quickly looked around vigilantly.

Jiang Wenming seemed more composed. He pulled out a pistol from the space, skillfully loaded the bullet into the chamber, and then said calmly, "There should be a basement here as well. Someone is hiding in the basement."

Jiang Jiyun showed a hint of doubt on his face: "I have already searched this house and didn't find any entrance to the basement."

Jiang Wenming didn't say much. He quietly put away the ladder and said to Jiang Jiyun, "Xiao Wei and I will search again. You were scared just now, so just rest here for a while."

Jiang Jiyun nodded. She felt pain all over her body and really needed to rest, so she sat down against the courtyard wall.

She decided to wait here and see if the strange crying sound would appear again.

However, it wasn't long before Jiang Jiyun began to feel restless.

Her curiosity drove her to find the source of the sound, so she ignored the pain from the fall and crawled around in the yard, carefully searching for any possible clues.

Just as she was concentrating on searching, she suddenly hit her head on something with a "Duang!"

Then she sat on the ground and covered her head. She didn't wear a helmet today and was only focused on finding the source of the sound. She didn't notice the bare tree stump in front of her and ended up bumping into it.

"Huh?" Jiang Jiyun sat on the ground, covering his head with his hands, staring intently at the blackened tree stump and said, "This tree's sound is wrong!"

Jiang Jiyun walked forward curiously and gently touched the tree stump that could be hugged by one person.

She originally thought it would be a hard metal object, but when her hand actually touched it, she found that it did not have the cold touch of metal.

"This is not made of metal? But the sound I heard just now was clearly the sound of metal colliding!" Jiang Jiyun muttered to himself, his doubts deepening.

In order to find out the true material of the tree stump, she simply put her head close and observed it carefully.

Then, she carefully used her fingers to pick at the so-called "bark", wanting to see what secrets were hidden inside.

At this moment, Jiang Jiyun actually dug out some black substance from between his fingernails!

When she looked closely, she was surprised to find that the black substance was not the color of the bark, but a little bit of black paint-like dye!

Jiang Jiyun suddenly realized that this seemingly ordinary tree stump was actually a cleverly disguised metal stump!

She couldn't help but marvel at the idea: "Wow, is this paint or something else magical? It can actually disguise an iron stake as a tree stump. It's amazing. Which genius came up with such a brilliant idea?"

In amazement, Jiang Jiyun excitedly jumped up from the ground and circled around the pillars like a nimble monkey.

She studied the pillars intently, trying to uncover their true purpose.

Just as Jiang Jiyun was immersed in his own world of exploration, Jiang Wenming and Xiao Wei came over.

From a distance, they saw Jiang Jiyun climbing up and down the tree stumps like a naughty monkey, and they couldn't help but find it a little funny.

Jiang Jiyun suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps. She turned around alertly and her eyes fell on two figures not far away.

Jiang Wenming and Xiao Wei searched around but found nothing, and looked around in confusion.

Jiang Jiyun quickly waved to them, signaling them to come over quickly.

When the two approached, Jiang Jiyun lowered his voice and said, "Come here quickly, there is a clue here."

Jiang Wenming and Xiao Wei looked at each other with puzzled expressions, but still walked quickly to Jiang Jiyun.

Jiang Jiyun pointed to the dark tree stump in front of him and explained softly, "Look, this tree stump looks a bit strange. I just took a closer look and found that there are many holes on it."

As she spoke, she pointed to the small hole on the tree stump.

Jiang Wenming and Xiao Wei looked in the direction of Jiang Jiyun's finger, and sure enough, they found an inconspicuous little hole on the tree stump.

When they took a closer look, they were surprised to find that the tree stump was actually hollow!

They raised their heads and looked around at the six stakes in the yard, and found that there were three on each side, neatly arranged.

Jiang Jiyun said thoughtfully, "I think these piles are used to keep the air circulating in the basement below."

Xiao Wei muttered in frustration after hearing this: "But we still haven't found the entrance, and we can't get in."

Jiang Jiyun was not discouraged. She took out three military shovels from the space, handed them to Jiang Wenming and Xiao Wei, and said, "Since we can't find the entrance, let's use the most primitive method to dig them out from underneath."

Jiang Wenming's mouth twitched slightly. He took the military shovel and said helplessly, "Can't we use an excavator? That would be much more efficient."

Jiang Jiyun shook his head and looked at the ground. "I'm worried that using an excavator will cause the ground to collapse. If there are traitors or Japanese soldiers down there, I wouldn't be too worried, but what if there are civilians inside? I'm sure I heard a child crying before."
