Chapter 808 Heavy Rain
Chapter 808 Heavy Rain
Tang's mother looked at the second son's wife in astonishment, as if struck by lightning. The words the second son's wife had just said kept echoing in her mind. She said that her daughter-in-law was a Japanese spy!
"Second son's wife, don't joke about this kind of thing!" Tang's mother's voice was trembling. She really couldn't believe that such a thing would happen in her own family.
Qian Lianhua burst into tears, sobbing, "Sister-in-law, this is true! I saw with my own eyes that the village chief and my brother took the man away. They must have taken him away for interrogation."
Tang's mother's face grew paler, and she muttered to herself, "Oh my god! Zhou Yan looks so fragile, how could she be a spy? And how did the village chief and the others find her?"
Qian Lianhua wiped her tears while piecing together the bits and pieces of information she had heard and told Tang's mother everything.
The more Tang's mother listened, the more horrified she became. She clutched her chest tightly, her eyes filled with terror. She trembled and said, "Oh my God! Zhou Yan is so cruel! Not only did she lead the devils to massacre the entire village, she even spared her own parents. Is she still human?"
Qian Lianhua was a little flustered. She nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right. When I heard the news, I was so scared that my legs went weak. It took me a while before I could barely stand up and walk."
"If Zhou Yan really wanted to kill, she would definitely start with the people around her. Our family almost fell into her clutches!"
At this moment, Tang's mother suddenly seemed to remember something, and slapped her thigh. The scene when Zhou Yan went to the little doctor's house emerged in her mind.
At that time, the young doctor's uncle and brothers had strange expressions on their faces. She originally thought that they were unhappy because their rest was disturbed. Now she thought that they must have recognized Zhou Yan's true identity.
The more Tang's mother thought about it, the more frightened she felt. She excitedly said to Qian Lianhua, "Lianhua, don't you think this is a blessing from heaven? It's a blessing that the young doctor and his friends came to our village to stay overnight. Otherwise, I'm afraid all of us villagers would have suffered!"
Qian Lianhua was also afraid and held her sister-in-law's hand and didn't dare to let go. The two sisters-in-law leaned against each other and talked.
"Rumble..."
Suddenly, a deafening thunder exploded outside the house, as if the whole world was torn apart by this huge sound.
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling flash of lightning streaked across the night sky, illuminating the darkness in an instant.
Jiang Jiyun, startled by the sudden lightning and thunder, couldn't help but sigh deeply.
She looked at the weather outside the window and thought that with such bad weather conditions, coupled with Zhou Yan's matter, they might not be able to leave tomorrow.
So Jiang Jiyun helplessly lay on the bed, closed his eyes and continued to sleep.
Oda and his friends came back late at night. They talked for a while and then went to rest.
After getting up the next day, Jiang Jiyun sat in the main room and watched the heavy rain outside.
In the kitchen, Yan Wen and Peng Yongyan were busy preparing breakfast.
Yan Wen stirred the porridge in the pot while excitedly saying to Peng Yongyan, who was stoking the fire, "You know what? I slept through the night without a single nightmare last night. This is something I've never experienced in a while, and I didn't even get a single mosquito bite."
Peng Yongyan listened to Yan Wen's words, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, but he did not speak.
He secretly wondered if Xiaoyun had drugged Yan Wen. Otherwise, how could she sleep so soundly?
Peng Yongyan's eyes fell on the sachet on Yan Wen's waist. He said thoughtfully, "You should carry this sachet with you. The herbs inside have the effect of repelling mosquitoes and insects. We each have one. Xiaoyun didn't give it to you just to look good."
He still remembered that when Xiaoyun gave it to her, she said that the sachet would not look good without embroidery, and she would help Xiaoyun embroider it when she had time.
Just then, there was a rapid knock on the door, and the "bang! bang! bang!" sound urged the owner to open the door quickly.
When Jiang Jiyun heard the knock on the door, he quickly put on his raincoat and walked quickly to the gate of the yard.
She was a little anxious. She was afraid that if she continued knocking like this, her brother and uncle would wake up.
Jiang Jiyun opened the courtyard door and saw Tang's mother and her eldest daughter-in-law. "Auntie, Sister-in-law Tang, why are you here?"
Two people wearing straw raincoats followed Jiang Jiyun into the house. After they took off their raincoats, Jiang Jiyun saw the cloth bundles in their arms.
Tang's mother put the bundle on the table and said, "It's raining so hard today. I don't know if you will continue on your journey. This is the dry food we prepared. You can't refuse it this time."
Jiang Wenming walked out of the room and said, "Sister-in-law, you can't let us violate the rules. We can accept the things, but you have to keep the money."
Mother Tang looked at the stack of money in her hand and wanted to refuse, but she backed off when she saw the determined look in Uncle Jiang's eyes.
Tang's mother nervously handed the money back and said, "Two of those will be enough. This is too much."
Jiang Wenming didn't take the money. He said, "Sister-in-law, please keep it. This is a gift for the birth of a new child."
Jiang Jiyun was standing at the door watching the heavy rain outside. She looked at the mountains nearby and was a little worried that something might happen.
After Jiang Wenming saw off Tang's mother and daughter-in-law, he turned around and saw Jiang Jiyun with a worried look on his face.
He walked up quickly and asked with concern, "Xiao Yun, you are standing here, staring into the distance, what are you looking at?"
Jiang Jiyun's brow furrowed tightly as she replied worriedly, "Uncle, it's raining so hard! I'm really worried it might trigger a mudslide. If it does, the entire village will be buried, and the consequences will be disastrous."
Although Jiang Wenming was somewhat unfamiliar with the term "mudslide", he could roughly guess from Jiang Jiyun's words that this should be a natural disaster similar to a flood.
Jiang Jiyun looked at the torrential rain pouring down like a bucket, and his uneasiness grew stronger.
She suddenly suggested: "Uncle, why don't we go to the mountains to check it out, so that we can take precautions in advance, just in case."
Jiang Wenming knew Xiaoyun's character very well. She was not the kind of person who liked to make unreasonable troubles.
So, when Xiaoyun suggested going to the mountain together, he nodded in agreement without hesitation, and quickly put on his raincoat and rain boots, ready to go up together.
After everything was ready, they said hello to Peng Yongyan, walked out of the room and into the rain.
The two walked side by side, slowly heading towards the mountain.
Along the way, Jiang Jiyun not only had to climb the steep hillside, but also had to keep an eye on the small drone in his hand.
She carefully observed the footage captured by the drone, not missing any details that might be dangerous.
