Chapter 1002 Leaving a Cover
After the dozen or so children had eaten their fill, Jiang Jiyun and several boys who knew how to shoot went out to explore an escape route.
Within minutes, Xia Qian saw the group hurry back.
Yan Ci, Yu Qing, and Zhuang Shu all shook their heads at the crowd.
Yan Ci then explained to the group, "All the roads leading out of the village in the direction we're heading are guarded, and there are quite a few of them, all of them are armed."
Yu Qing also spoke up, saying, "If we, a dozen or so people, want to leave quietly without anyone noticing, we'll probably have to eliminate all those people first before we can achieve our goal."
Zhuang Shu watched as Yu Zhan lay on the courtyard wall keeping watch, and he said, "We are now at the very back of the village, with mountains behind us and other people inside. The villagers are acting strangely; I noticed they are all trembling, as if they are very scared."
They waited for about twenty minutes before they saw Jiang Jiyun run back, soaking wet.
Jiang Jiyun, panting, told everyone some news: there was a river running across the east end of the village, but the river was rather wide.
More importantly, there were no sentries or guards stationed there, so the only way for people to escape was to swim across the river.
"I...I can't swim!" The girl with the missing tooth was already pale with fright, as if she was afraid that everyone would abandon her because of this.
"I can't swim either," Xia Qian said nervously.
"I do not know either."
"I'm afraid of water."
……
Jiang Jiyun saw that the faces of the girls who couldn't swim turned deathly pale, completely devoid of color.
"How wide is that river?" Yan Ci asked Jiang Jiyun with a nervous expression.
Jiang Jiyun took a deep breath, composed himself, and then replied: "Based on my visual estimation, it's about four or five meters."
At this moment, Yu Qing, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "Why don't we try using a door panel? Those who can't swim can lie on it, and we swimmers can then carry them across the river."
Upon hearing this suggestion, Jiang Jiyun nodded in agreement.
She did not tell them about the dangerous experience she had just gone through.
Just before, Jiang Jiyuan almost became a meal for a ferocious crocodile!
At this moment, the enormous crocodile was lying quietly in the plaza of the space.
Nobody knows where these dog spies got such dangerous animals from.
Fortunately, after some investigation, Jiang Jiyun confirmed that there was only one crocodile in the river, so she rushed back.
The young men worked together to lift the door panel and ran wildly towards the river.
The girls covered their mouths tightly, not daring to make a sound, and followed closely behind the boys. Behind them...
Just as they were about to reach the riverbank, Jiang Jiyun suddenly stopped and said to them, "You must seize the opportunity to cross the river! I'm going back to the village to cover for you. If anyone discovers that we've already escaped, I will do my best to hold them off and ensure your safe escape."
Yu Zhan and the others stared in astonishment at the brave bald girl; they still didn't know her name.
Before they could even speak, they heard Jiang Jiyun urging them to hurry up, saying that soon someone would notice something was wrong.
Jiang Jiyun had just learned that in addition to his companions who were preparing to flee, there were also many innocent ordinary villagers in the village.
Even in the face of danger, she still thought about leading all her fellow villagers to escape.
Yan Ci made a decisive move, urging everyone to speed up their progress. Only by crossing the river quickly could they ensure that Jiang Jiyun could return safely as soon as possible.
Through everyone's joint efforts, the entire group successfully reached the other side of the river.
To their surprise, after hiding and waiting for a long time, they still didn't see the girl return.
Instead, they heard intermittent gunfire and explosions coming from the other side of the village.
"Let's go!" Yan Ci shouted to the terrified people.
Even if they chose to turn back now, without guns or bullets, trying to rescue people from so many enemies would be like throwing an egg against a rock.
A group of teenagers were crying and running frantically forward as they tried to escape...
Zhuang Shu was originally a child from the countryside. After running for a while, he quickly calmed down and began to observe his surroundings.
After a careful inspection, he quickly found the direction and then led everyone to run towards his father's unit.
Seeing that everyone had already started going into the water and watching them cooperate to leave, Jiang Jiyun turned around and ran back to the village.
They successfully infiltrated the village again and quietly entered a house.
Two elderly people lived in the thatched house. When they saw the bald boy who was soaking wet and covered in mud and grime, they were immediately puzzled.
Could it be that this kid also wanted to escape from here, but unexpectedly encountered that terrible monster attack by the river, and was forced to flee back to the village to hide?
Seeing the two elderly people looking stunned, Jiang Jiyun knew that people in these places communicated in their local dialects.
Therefore, she deliberately slowed down her speech and used hand gestures, saying, "Grandpa, please leave quickly, the monster in that river has been eliminated by our people."
Jiang Jiyun didn't know how many survivors were left in the village, and she didn't have much time to go around looking for people. Only those who knew the situation in the village could gather the villagers together.
"Are you the Eighth Route Army?" Jiang Jiyun looked up and saw that it was an old woman speaking Mandarin.
The old man really didn't understand what he was saying, so he used his body to shield the old woman.
"Yes!" Jiang Jiyun nodded affirmatively.
Then the old lady started talking to the old man, and then the old man lit a pile of firewood in the yard.
A moment later, someone was seen sneaking over. The old man mumbled something to the person, and the person quickly left.
The old lady also took out two bundles from the house, and the two elderly people carried the bundles and walked towards the river.
"Aren't you coming with me?" the old woman asked, seeing the person standing motionless by the roadside.
Jiang Jiyun smiled and said, "I can shoot. I'll cover for everyone."
As they were talking, they saw many people quietly running over, following the elderly couple towards the river.
The last woman and a little boy just stood there watching Jiang Jiyun.
Seeing that the woman's eyes were full of tears, Jiang Jiyun asked, "Is there anything else you need?"
Seeing that his mother couldn't understand what they were saying, the little boy spoke up for her, "Can your people bring my brother and sister back?"
"Your brother and sister were taken away by these people? Do you know where they were taken?" Jiang Jiyun thought that if she wanted to rescue them, she would need to know where they were.
