OBS Chapter 1037 Xu Chuntang
Chapter 1037 Xu Chuntang
Jiang Jiyun was unaware of what was happening in the hospital. After she and her uncle left the hospital, they quickly realized that someone was following them.
So she pulled her uncle into a small alley and began to wander through it, turning left and right.
But to their surprise, they themselves eventually got lost in this intricate network of alleys.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the two decided to hide inside the space.
Meanwhile, the pursuers chased him to the end of one alley after another, but still couldn't find any trace of their target.
Left with no other option, these people could only curse angrily and then leave dejectedly.
Once it was confirmed that the two people who had been following them had left, Jiang Jiyun led Jiang Wenming out of the space.
At this moment, the uncle and nephew stared at each other at the alley in front of them, somewhat at a loss for what to do.
Jiang Wenming tried hard to recall the route he had taken, but only some vague fragments remained in his mind.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally asked, "Would you like to come with me?"
Jiang Jiyun shook his head: No, Uncle, you're not much better than me. You can't tell left from right. I feel like this place is a circular maze. No matter which way you go, you can't get out!
"What should we do? You don't know the way either. Are we really stuck?" Jiang Wenming muttered anxiously, scratching his head in frustration.
After all, it was broad daylight, and if they rashly used a drone to fly out of this place, they would undoubtedly become targets.
Do they really have to wait until nightfall to leave here?
"Pfft... Hahahaha..."
Jiang Jiyun and Jiang Wenming turned around warily to look at the door, and laughter came from the doorway.
"Squeak..."
With a slight thud, the heavy door was pulled open from the inside.
The woman standing at the door had neat, short hair that gently brushed against her fair neck.
She wore a light blue jacket on top and a long black skirt on the bottom, the hem of which was just three inches below her knees.
Jiang Jiyun looked at the unfamiliar girl and secretly wondered about her identity.
The other party was young, with a pretty face and a pure and refined temperament, looking exactly like a naive and easily deceived female college student.
So, she silently returned the gun to the space where she had been gripping it.
Jiang Wenming, standing to the side, was also looking at the girl with a bright and undisguised smile.
He subconsciously put the grenade he was holding back into the storage space.
At that moment, the girl seemed to notice the wariness in their eyes.
She quickly smiled and explained, "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation. This is my home, and my younger brother said someone was acting suspiciously at my door, so I was peeking through the crack in the door."
Hearing this, Jiang Jiyun felt embarrassed and quickly apologized to the girl: "I'm so sorry to have caused your family trouble. We'll leave right away..."
Before Jiang Jiyun could finish speaking, the girl interrupted, saying, "Don't rush. You're unfamiliar with this place. If you leave like this, you'll probably have a hard time finding your way out. How about I have someone escort you out?"
After she finished speaking, she smiled sweetly again.
"Thank you!" Jiang Wenming said gratefully.
Xu Chuntang suddenly stopped smiling and said seriously, "Then can you do me a small favor? Either give me a gun, or kill someone for me."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jiyun narrowed his eyes slightly, staring intently at the seemingly frail girl in front of him.
Jiang Wenming frowned, his face full of doubt, and asked, "Young lady, you're so young, why do you have such a violent temper? We're not cold-blooded killers, how can we just take someone's life for you like this!"
"Besides, we're just ordinary people. Where would we get guns and ammunition for you? You're going a bit too far with this kind of joke."
Xu Chuntang strode straight toward the two of them and calmly replied, "Just recently, I witnessed you passing by my house twice."
She held up two fingers and continued, "Shortly after you leave each time, two other men with pistols at their waists follow you. This is your third time here now. Have you managed to shake off your pursuers?"
Faced with Xu Chuntang's sharp words, Jiang Jiyun was speechless for a moment. He stared at her with wide eyes, thinking that this brat was too observant. She could even see the pistol she was wearing at her waist.
Xu Chuntang looked at the two silent people and continued, "I've seen the people who were following you. They're Japanese. I saw them behind Colonel Ikeshita before."
Jiang Jiyun looked at her in surprise. It seemed this girl knew quite a lot. "Can we go inside and talk?"
"Please come in!" Xu Chuntang said with a smile, inviting them inside.
Jiang Jiyun and Jiang Wenming walked into the courtyard, their eyes falling on the small house in front of them.
Inside the courtyard, a little boy who looked about eight or nine years old stood with a woman holding a toddler of one or two years old.
Xu Chuntang introduced them softly: "This is my younger brother, Chunsheng, and those are my sister-in-law and nephew."
Jiang Jiyun asked curiously, "Aren't there any elders in the family?"
“Alas, my parents passed away two years ago when the Japanese ordered a massacre of the county! Thanks to my brother and sister-in-law’s desperate protection, we were able to escape, but our parents died under the bayonets of the Japanese soldiers.”
"After that, my brother resolutely followed the army to fight against the Japanese invaders, leaving only a few of us in the family to depend on each other for survival."
Jiang Jiyun looked at Xu Chuntang quietly, maintaining a completely expressionless demeanor.
Her gaze then turned to her younger brother and sister-in-law, noticing the deep sorrow on their faces.
It's clearly not about grieving for a relative who died two years ago; there must be some other reason behind it.
Xu Chuntang recounted her family's story: just half a month ago, her sister mysteriously disappeared after going out to buy rice. When they finally found her, she was adrift in the river outside the city, her clothes disheveled.
"My sister's body was covered in hideous and horrific scars... After investigation, the police concluded that... my sister was raped and brutally murdered, and they haven't been able to catch the perpetrator for so long." With each word Xu Chuntang spoke, tears streamed down her face.
