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

Chapter 1169 He got beaten up again.

Xiao Qi stared wide-eyed at Jiang Jiyun, completely astonished, never expecting to hear such a reason.

Jiang Jiyun noticed the confusion and bewilderment in Xiao Qi's eyes, so she explained softly, "Actually, the elders did this out of concern for our safety. As the saying goes, 'The deeper the love, the harsher the discipline,' they believe that if we are suppressed by force, we might change our ways next time."

"Will your sister change?"

"No, what I did was right, and I will continue to do it. We saved the Taoist priest and many other people, didn't we? They were just venting their frustration because they were worried that we would be in danger. They hit me a few times and I cried out in pain, and then they felt sorry for me and stopped hitting me!" Jiang Jiyun said proudly, shaking his head.

Xiaoqi nodded as if she understood, but couldn't help asking curiously, "I understand these big principles, but I don't quite understand what this feeling is like?"

Jiang Jiyun reached out and gently stroked Xiaoqi's head, smiling as she comforted her, "Don't worry, when you have the chance, you'll naturally be able to personally experience that unique joy of childhood!"

Qin Heng, who was standing at the door, walked into the room and conveyed the instructions from his uncle and brother to the two of them, telling them to return to their original residence first.

While rubbing her still slightly sore buttocks, Jiang Jiyun carefully and slowly moved her legs.

She muttered, "Okay, let's leave now. It would be too embarrassing if we stayed any longer and someone saw us!"

Seeing her like this, Qin Heng couldn't help but jokingly ask, "Do you need me to carry you?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jiyun was overjoyed and gazed at Qin Heng with anticipation.

She nodded and said, "Really? My butt still hurts, and it's really uncomfortable for me to walk."

Without saying a word, Qin Heng immediately squatted down, steadily carried Jiang Jiyun on his back, and then turned and left.

Qin Rui then picked up Xiao Qi and followed closely behind them.

Qin Zhi and Qin Yi followed Xiao Wei and walked towards the place where they had lived before.

At dawn, the sky gradually turned a pale white.

At this time, some early risers had already begun to move around on the streets or hurried along their way.

"Cough cough cough..."

A series of rapid coughs reached their ears. Jiang Jiyun turned his head and saw a figure brush past them, coughing incessantly.

In just this short distance, she had already heard several people coughing similarly.

Jiang Jiyun could tell that they had inflammation in their lungs. Not only did she notice the abnormality, but Xiao Wei, who was standing next to her, also became alert.

He frowned slightly and said to Jiang Jiyun in a low voice, "It seems we need to hurry home and make the pills. I'm afraid there are already signs of the virus spreading in the city."

Jiang Jiyun nodded slightly in agreement.

She lay quietly on Qin Heng's back, her eyelids gradually closing.

A vague unease lingered in her mind, making it difficult for her to fully relax.

She vaguely felt that she had forgotten something important, but no matter how hard she racked her brains, she still couldn't remember what she had forgotten.

"Wang Wang Wang..."

The barking of the dog seemed to come from all directions, rising and falling, never ceasing.

Jiang Jiyuan looked down at the ground following the sound and asked in confusion, "Huh, why are there so many dogs barking from underground?"

Jiang Wenxun also heard the barking of the dog, and out of curiosity, he simply bent down close to the ground and listened intently.

A thought suddenly struck Xu Fan, and he blurted out, "Oh! I remember now, these dogs must be in the sewers."

"We came out of the sewers earlier, but there were a lot of big rats in there. Could it be that Xiaoyun used these dogs to catch those rats?"

Jiang Jiyuan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, and he nodded in agreement.

His own mischievous sister could very well do something unexpected.

Xu Fan led the group to the manhole cover they had climbed up earlier and gently lifted it.

In an instant, a group of dogs stared intently at the people above the well.

"Wang Wang Wang..."

The barking of the dogs made Jiang Jiyuan frown, and he pressed his temples with a helpless expression.

These poor little creatures must have been forgotten here by their careless owner. I wonder if they would be heartbroken if they found out.

He took a deep breath, composed himself, and then said to the puppies, "Alright, stop barking! I'll pull you up one by one in a bit, but remember, absolutely no biting! Understand?"

He had barely finished speaking when he heard a chorus of barking dogs: "Woof woof woof..."

They seemed to be responding to Jiang Jiyuan's words.

However, when Jiang Jiyuan's eyes fell on the fur of these puppies, which was covered in dirt and stained with black blood, he immediately felt a bit disgusted.

He took a pair of gloves out of his pocket and put them on before stretching out his hands and dragging the dirty puppies up one by one.

Seeing the group of filthy, foul-smelling puppies, Xiao Tian and Chen Meng quickly ran to fetch clean water and carefully wiped each puppy clean, making them clean again.

Xu Fan went to the cooking area and took the bones that the aunties used to stew the bone soup.

After the aunties processed it, all the meat that was originally attached to the bones was completely removed.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wenming brought over a full basin of water and quickly added two antidote pills to it.

The purpose of this is to be on the safe side, in case the mice these little guys kill carry viruses, and even if they unknowingly drink the mice's blood, these two antidote pills will be enough to ensure their safety.

The Taoist priest, dressed in a floral shirt and pants and wearing slippers, came over and glanced at the dozens of puppies in front of him who had just had a hearty meal and were looking around contentedly.

He frowned slightly and asked, puzzled, "What are these dogs looking for?"

Upon hearing his question, Zhang An quickly stepped forward and replied, "They must be looking for their owner."

With a smile, Zhang An spoke softly to the group of puppies, "Listen up, let us take you back to your owner, okay? You need to stay with us obediently and don't run off from the group, understand?"

Seeing this, Jiang Wenxun couldn't help but chuckle and teased, "Do you really think they understand when you talk to them like you're coaxing children?"

He had barely finished asking his question when something unexpected happened.

A burst of barking rang out, and the puppies spontaneously formed neat rows of five.

Then they stood quietly in place, staring intently at Zhang An, as if silently waiting for him to lead the way.
