SEC Chapter 345 Those people disappeared
Chapter 345 Those people disappeared
Jiang Jiyun sobbed in Ma Chao's arms, tears pouring out like a flood, soaking Ma Chao's shirt on his chest.
She cried so heartbrokenly that she fell asleep unconsciously under the double attack of exhaustion and sadness.
At this time, Xiang's parents heard the children crying in another room. They felt a pang of pain in their hearts and their eyes turned red.
Their sons also lost contact in the war, and their whereabouts are still unknown. It is unknown whether there is any hope of survival.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye. On this day, Zhang An, Ma Sheng and Sun Jiaguo finally completed the investigation mission after going through hardships and returned home exhausted.
When they stepped into the courtyard, they saw Ma Chao and others who were busy in the yard.
Without saying a word, the three of them rushed towards the crowd and tightly hugged their long-lost friends.
At this moment, Jiang Jiyun was holding a pair of scissors in her hand, carefully cutting a red wedding character. Suddenly, she noticed movement at the door. She looked up and saw Zhang An and others standing there.
She immediately put down the scissors in her hand, ran to them quickly, her eyes gleaming with anticipation, and asked anxiously: "Big brother, have you heard any news about other people in our village?"
Zhang An turned around when he heard the voice, and his eyes fell on the little girl wearing a red hat who was looking at him excitedly.
When they saw Jiang Jiyun's expectant little face, the originally bright smile on their faces gradually froze and then slowly disappeared.
Jiang Jiyun keenly captured the changes in their expressions, and her heart sank suddenly, as if falling into a bottomless abyss.
Her lips trembled involuntarily, and she asked with a hint of fear in her voice: "Did...did something happen to the people there?"
Ma Sheng took a deep breath and calmed himself down. After summarizing what they had learned, he slowly said, "Sister Xiaoyun, to be honest, according to our current information, the villagers who were captured... are probably gone. The mine over there has already had several new people."
After saying this, Ma Sheng lowered his head heavily, not daring to look directly into Jiang Jiyun's desperate eyes.
"What...what?!" Jiang Jiyun widened his eyes and looked at the people in front of him in disbelief. His body swayed a few times and he almost lost his balance.
Her face turned pale as paper in an instant, and her disappointment was evident in her expression. After all, they were too late.
"Clap!"
Xiang Xiuying and Jiang Wenming came back with things in their hands. They heard Ma Sheng's words at the gate of the courtyard, and the things in his hands fell to the ground.
Jiang Wenming's mind went blank. His father and brothers were gone? And his uncles, brothers, and nephews were gone too?
Seeing their expressions, Zhang An quickly said, "It's not necessarily that they all met with misfortune, because there was a riot at the coal mine before, and it was said that many people took the opportunity to escape. Maybe someone from your village also escaped."
"This possibility is very high. After my contact with your Jiang family, I found that no one in your family is the type to be content with the status quo. They must be trying to escape alive. You still have to leave a glimmer of hope. One day you will be reunited with them." Ma Chao came over and wiped the tears from the little girl's face and comforted her.
Tian Guizhi sat in the corridor holding her child, staring at the sky and praying for God's blessing.
The wives of Dashan and his friends who were busy cooking in the kitchen didn't know whether they should continue cooking. They had said that they would get married today, but the situation outside didn't look good. Would the wedding be postponed?
Jiang Jiyun perked up when she saw the worried expressions of the Xiang family's relatives. Today was her uncle's wedding day, so how could she cry?
"Grandpa, grandma, uncles, aunts, everyone, please continue. Today is my uncle's big day, we have to have some fun. I'll go into the house to get the wedding candy! Brother Ma, have you found a way to buy those cigarettes and firecrackers? We have to have some fun today!" Jiang Jiyun said loudly, wiping away his tears.
Jiang Wenming turned around to look at his little niece who had regained her smile and his second sister-in-law who was holding her child under the eaves, and stood up with the help of Xiang Xiuying.
Xu Fan and the others also came over to pick up the things on the ground and bring them back into the house.
Qi Feng carried out a large cloth bag from the house, which was filled with loose fruit candies that Jiang Jiyun had taken out from the mall. The colorful candy wrappers attracted the attention of several children who were helping to pluck chicken feathers.
"Give each person six candies first to sweeten their mouths, so that everyone will have the energy to work!" Xiang Xiuying watched Qi Feng take out all the candy bags. Her mouth twitched as she took the candy bags and shared them with her aunt and the children.
Qi Feng knew that he didn't understand these things, so he went out with Ma Chao to buy cigarettes.
There are quite a few cigarettes in Jiang Jiyun's space, but the cigarettes of the future are so different from those of today that she doesn't even know if there are filter cigarettes at this time.
Tian Guizhi also perked up while holding the child. Her parents-in-law, elder brother and sister-in-law were not at home, so she, as the second sister-in-law, had to help. She coaxed the sleeping child onto the kang and went out to work.
When Xiang Xiuying came out in a bright red cotton jacket and trousers, Jiang Jiyun was startled. She asked curiously, "Aunt? Is this your wedding dress?"
"Yes! It took me a long time to collect this red fabric." Xiang Xiuying said with a smile while touching her clothes.
Jiang Jiyun didn't understand the current situation. Her brother and sister-in-law got married wearing military uniforms and big red flowers on their chests, but why was her uncle and aunt's wedding so down-to-earth? It was too unfashionable!
"Aunt, I got a set of our country's bright red wedding dress from the Land of Sakura. Do you want to see it?" Jiang Jiyun leaned close to Xiang Xiuying and whispered.
"You put it in your backpack and brought it back? Why would a little kid like you bring that kind of wedding dress?" Xiang Xiuying looked at the little guy in surprise.
"They look beautiful. They must have been stolen from us by the Japanese. It's my duty to take them back." Jiang Jiyun thought of the wedding dresses in the space box and wanted to take out one for his aunt.
"Okay, I'll try it. If it's wearable, I'll use the wedding dress." Xiang Xiuying agreed immediately.
My little niece has already said it, it is her intention and there is no way I can refuse it.
When she saw the bright red wedding dress embroidered with gold thread that Jiang Jiyun brought out, her eyes widened.
"This...this...this..." Xiang Xiuying was so excited that she was speechless when she looked at the beautiful wedding dress.
Which woman doesn't want to be the most beautiful bride? She has never seen such a beautiful wedding dress in her life.
"Aunt, let's go into the room and change!" Jiang Jiyun ran into the bridal room first with a bag on his back and clothes in his hands.
Xiang Xiuying put on the wedding dress and looked at herself in the mirror, but the mirror was a little small and couldn't reflect her whole body.
Jiang Jiyun pulled her to sit down, took out a small box from her bag and said, "Auntie, let me do your makeup!"
She had seen beauty bloggers teach how to put on makeup in short videos before, but she had only watched it and had never tried it in real life, so she was a little excited now.
