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

Chapter 1172 Orphan Volunteer Army

After Jiang Jiyun and Xiao Wei followed Zhou Peng and the other two out of the city, they walked along the winding path for a long time before finally arriving at their place of residence.

Xiao Wei looked at the house that should have been intact, now blown to pieces and scattered. The only remaining room looked decent enough, but it was barely enough to get by.

Next to this house stood two other simple huts haphazardly piled up from broken bricks.

"ha!"

"ha!"

Before they even got close to the house, a loud shout reached their ears.

Jiang Jiyun and Xiao Wei were puzzled and couldn't help but walk quickly toward the source of the sound.

Upon closer inspection, a group of boys and girls were enthusiastically practicing assassination techniques with homemade guns.

These children were all thin and short, and some of them even trembled slightly when they held the gun barrels because of the strain.

Despite the hardships, they did not back down and persevered in training.

Ke Yue, who was training hard and sweating profusely, noticed the arrival of Zhou Peng and the others. He immediately stopped what he was doing and went to greet them.

He looked at Xiao Si, who was still coughing, and asked, "Brother Peng, you're back? Didn't you go into town to see a doctor and buy medicine? How come you're back so soon?"

Jiang Jiyun smiled and waved to Ke Yue, saying, "Hello! We've come here to treat your illnesses."

Ke Yue looked at the little guy standing in front of him, who was shorter than him.

The little girl was slightly chubby and obviously not yet an adult, but her every move revealed a temperament that was not commensurate with her age.

Ke Yue couldn't help but feel suspicious. He turned to look at Zhou Peng beside him and asked doubtfully, "Are you really sure you want this child to treat us?"

Zhou Peng reached out and touched the tattered money pouch hanging around his neck, which contained only a few dozen copper coins.

With their meager savings, trying to buy medicine and treat their illness is simply wishful thinking; they probably wouldn't even have enough for the registration fee.

He sighed heavily and explained to Ke Yue with a wry smile, "Just now, Xiao Si was coughing so hard that he was on the verge of death. It was this young lady who went over and took his pulse, and accurately pinpointed the cause of his illness."

“I also want to take Xiao Si and Jiang Wei to the hospital to get checked out, but we're really strapped for cash and can't afford the fees for a visit to a big hospital. She wouldn't bother coming all the way here if she didn't have the means; she's not afraid of getting infected!”

Hearing this, Jiang Jiyun knew that she was young and it was understandable that people suspected her.

She patted her chest confidently and assured the two of them, "Please don't worry! As long as you follow my treatment method, I guarantee that after tonight, your brothers and sisters will no longer be troubled by coughing, and you can all sleep soundly until dawn!"

Zhou Peng and Ke Yue exchanged a glance. Although they were still a little uneasy, they seemed to have no other choice at the moment.

So the two gritted their teeth and led Jiang Jiyun and Xiao Wei straight to the two simple huts they had built themselves not far away.

After pushing open the door, Ke Yue stepped into the room first, explaining to Jiang Jiyun as he walked: "Their conditions are quite serious; some have even started to have high fevers."

Jiang Jiyun glanced at the older girls who were busy changing wet towels for the children with fevers, then stepped over and took the pulse of these children first.

Not long ago, Jiang Jiyun had sent a large amount of medicine to her brother and Zhang An's space, while she kept only a small portion for herself as an emergency.

After taking the pulse, Jiang Jiyun turned around and walked to Xiao Wei's side, saying softly, "Brother Xiao Wei, I will be in charge of preparing the medicine from now on. You will focus on giving the injections to the boys, and I will take care of the girls."

At this moment, Zhou Peng and the others noticed that there was a lot of quinine in the open medicine box, and they couldn't help but show their delight and surprise.

Only then did Ke Yue realize why the young doctor was so confident that he could cure the patient.

That's quinine, a precious medicine that money can't buy, and they gave it to these children without even mentioning the price.

Zhou Peng opened his mouth, wanting to tell them that he didn't have much money, but he swallowed the words back.

After all, people are selfish. At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind: he had to make sure his brothers and sisters survived!

Although they are currently penniless, they are all young, and as long as they survive, they will surely have the opportunity to earn enough money in the future to repay this kindness.

After Jiang Jiyun finished injecting the medicine into each child, she instructed Zhou Peng to boil more hot water for later use.

Xiao Wei also got busy, carefully disinfecting every corner of the house.

The older children, following Jiang Jiyun's instructions, took all the clothes they were wearing and the bedding they were sleeping on and had them sterilized at high temperatures.

After everything was ready, they gave each of them the crucial antidote pill.

After everyone swallowed the antidote, Jiang Jiyun and Xiao Wei were slightly relieved and began to pay attention to the environment in which the children lived.

"Why would you choose to live in such a remote place? Wouldn't it be more convenient to live in the city?" Xiao Wei asked, full of doubt.

It's worth noting that there are actually quite a few vacant and uninhabited houses in the city.

Zhou Peng looked at him intently and said slowly, "Actually, we are all orphans that our older brothers and sisters picked up from outside. But at that time, we were too young, so they never let us go to the battlefield to fight."

At this point, Zhou Peng choked up, and tears streamed down his face.

"But...but ever since my older brothers and sisters left three years ago, they've never come back...Waaah...Although we all know in our hearts that they may never return to this place...this is still the home they once lived in!"

Jiang Jiyun, who was sitting quietly to the side taking a short rest, thought of that group of people as she listened to what Zhou Peng said.

They are the legendary Nanjing Orphan Volunteer Army!

It is said that the average age of the team members is only fifteen or sixteen.

They were unfortunately surrounded by the Japanese invaders, but they refused to surrender and even chose to detonate the bombs they were carrying, taking the enemy with them...

Thinking of this, Jiang Jiyun couldn't help but feel saddened, and silently turned her gaze to the few big kids who were still wiping away tears from the corners of their eyes.

She comforted them, saying, "Your brothers and sisters are truly national heroes! Of course, you are all remarkable heroes as well!"
