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

Chapter 206 The Empty Cotton Mill

When Jiang Jiyun finished her business and arrived at the dock, she saw her brother squatting there waiting for her to come back.

"Brother, the things have been packed. Who are you and how will you send them over on the boat?" Jiang Jiyun squatted next to her brother.

"Your brother Ma can come with him. I'll give him a phone without a cord that can be used at any time. We'll go back at dawn to pack up and save money." Jiang Jiyuan had already given the satellite phone to Ma Chao last night.

He didn't know whether this thing was real or not. He had to try it first before sending it over there. What if it didn't work? Wouldn't that be a waste of resources and work in vain?

The brother and sister squatted at the dock and waited for less than half an hour. It was already early morning. Ma Chao had already arrived with his men. Jiang Jiyun was surprised to see two familiar faces in the light of the flashlight.

"Are you Mr. Luo and Boss Ni?" Jiang Jiyuan looked at them in surprise.

"Little brother, I didn't expect that we meet again." Luo Qizhou smiled and shook hands with Jiang Jiyuan.

Ma Chao was not surprised to see that they knew each other. He had long noticed that there was something fishy going on between Jiang Jiyuan and his sister. As long as he did not betray the organization, he would turn a blind eye to it.

His father once told him that there are people in this world who are very lucky, the kind of people who have God following them and feeding them. If he meets such a person, if he is one of his own, he should try to make friends with him and not make enemies with him. If he is an enemy, he should kill him even if it means both of them dying.

"Let's not talk too much. Just get on board. The stuff has been loaded on board. Be careful on your journey." Jiang Jiyuan hugged Ma Chao and said reluctantly.

Ma Chao also hugged Jiang Jiyuan back and said, "The hostage exchange will be on the Lantern Festival. The checkpoints at that time will be the most strict. Now is the time when they are the most lax on the sea. You must be careful when you go to Zhe Province."

Jiang Jiyun watched as hundreds of people boarded the fifty or sixty ships and asked Jiang Jiyuan, "Brother, are these few people enough?"

"Someone will join us along the way." Jiang Jiyuan touched his sister's head.

They just stood there and watched the ships leave the dock and disappear into the night.

The brother and sister returned only after the city gate was opened at daybreak. When they entered the yard, they saw Li Ke presenting them with a banner, in which he said that his illness had been completely cured by Master Jiang Liu.

From the first to the sixth day of the New Year, people came to the Jiang family every day to give gifts, including high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen, and Boss Niu also sat next to Jiang Wenming.

Mr. Jiang Liu sent Li Ke away with a puzzled look on his face. He knew very well that the medicine he prescribed was only somewhat effective, but it was unlikely to completely cure the patient. However, Li Ke repeatedly emphasized that he had fully recovered and could not take any medicine, otherwise his body would not be able to bear it.

Li Ke also secretly gave the extra medicine to his boss for him to try. He came today just to wish Dr. Jiang a happy new year and to present him with a banner.

Mr. Jiang Liu glanced at Jiang Jiyun who was talking to Niu Lanshan. He suspected that the kid had thrown the special medicine in there for experiment.

When Jiang Jiyun caught Sixth Grandpa's gaze, his back stiffened and he lowered his head to talk to Niu Lanshan.

Boss Niu went to the pharmacy to talk with Jiang Jiyuan, and then he left with his daughter as if he were rejuvenated.

Jiang Jiyun returned to his room and placed a small box under the bed. He put a lot of small yellow croakers in it, leaving them for his family.

In the afternoon, Jiang Jiyuan came over and called Jiang Jiyun, "Let's go visit Boss Niu's factory."

Jiang Jiyun was carried away by his brother with a confused look on his face. Jiang Wenming carried his luggage and went out of the city first to wait for Jiang Jiyuan and his sister. He repeatedly told Yan Xuyang to take good care of the family.

Jiang Jiyun followed her brother through a small path to a large, deserted factory.

The brother and sister looted the factory and left the city before the city gate was closed.

When we had dinner at home in the evening, none of them were in the mood to eat.

"We have to be well, so that they don't have to worry. Let's eat!" Mr. Jiang Liu said with red eyes and shaking hands while holding chopsticks.

Xiao Bao looked around but couldn't find his sister and uncle, so he turned to look at Master Jiang Liu, pointed his finger outside the door and shouted "Ahhh... Master... Sister... Uncle..."

Jiang Wanting's tears fell into her bowl. She really couldn't understand why Brother Yuan wanted to take Xiaoyun, such a young child, away with him.

Yan Xuyang wiped his eyes secretly with his sleeve. He would definitely protect his family. Before his sister left, she took him to her room. He had just hidden some money and a bottle of medicine under the bed as a backup, and gave the rest to Sixth Grandpa.

Moreover, the partition cabinet behind the room was already filled with weapons and ammunition for their self-defense.

The next day, an article was published in the Hu City newspaper that the largest cotton yarn factory in Hu City was looted. After receiving the news, Boss Niu hurriedly took a car to the factory in his pajamas. When he saw the empty factory, he fainted and was sent to the hospital by the driver and the factory director.

Later, Boss Niu announced that the cotton mill was forced to go bankrupt. The workers knew that the Japanese merchants had gone to the factory several times to seek cooperation, but now all the goods were suddenly gone. It must be the work of the Japanese merchants. Thousands of workers went to the Japanese concession to seek justice.

In the end, Boss Niu came out again and said that he would definitely reorganize the factory.

So after some consolation from Boss Niu and the officials, the workers returned to the factory and started all over again, using old machines that Boss Niu had gotten from somewhere.

The Japanese sent a lot of people to investigate this matter, but in the end they found nothing.

Boss Niu only knew that their things were given to comrades working underground, but he really didn't know how the things were transported away.

His leader originally wanted Boss Niu to set it on fire, but the mission was to not let the Japanese take it even if it was burned.

When the Japanese found out that things had suddenly disappeared, they sent out many agents and spies to investigate, but the results were always the same: these things disappeared without any trace.

After Jiang Jiyuan carried Jiang Jiyun on his back and met up with Jiang Wenming outside the city, they headed towards Zhe Province.

"Xiao Yuan, why did you bring Xiao Yun with you? Aren't you afraid that Xiao Yun would be in danger?" Jiang Wenming, carrying his luggage, looked at the sleeping child on Jiang Jiyuan's back.

"If Uncle Wenming doesn't take her with him, I'm afraid Sixth Grandpa will be mad at her when we go back." Jiang Jiyuan said in a low voice.

Jiang Wenming stopped talking for a moment. He decided to just take this wild child with him and let his sixth uncle live a few more years.

The uncle and nephew hid in secret and came to Jiashan County, the county town in Zhe Province, on the second day of the second lunar month, when the dragon raises its head.

They paid for passes and entered the county town right under the noses of the Japanese.

Looking at the empty streets, Jiang Jiyun asked in confusion, "Don't people here go out?"

Jiang Wenming and Jiang Jiyuan looked at each other and walked on the street, looking for a place to stay tonight.

After knocking on several inns, I was finally welcomed in by the innkeeper. After asking the innkeeper, I learned that a small battle had just taken place here ten days ago. A group of guerrillas were defeated and hid in the mountains. Now this place has been taken over by the Japanese and the security team.

"Shopkeeper, how many Japanese troops are there in this county? The Japanese soldiers at the gate of the county look so scary!" Jiang Jiyuan asked the shopkeeper pretending to be afraid.

"There are almost two hundred devils, and there are another one or two hundred in the security group. They are almost wreaking havoc in our county!"

When Jiang Jiyuan heard this, he nodded, ordered some food with him and stopped talking.

Jiang Jiyun looked at her elder brother with a smile. Her performance this year was about to begin.
