Chapter 1180 The Flood Washed Away the Dragon King's Temple
Jiang Jiyun couldn't care less about her brother's loud voice on the phone; all she could feel was her head buzzing. All these people in front of her were actually her own people hiding here!
Could it be that the flood washed away the Dragon King Temple?
For a moment, she was at a loss and could only look at Li Quan with an embarrassed expression, without saying a word.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Jiyun slowly reached out, silently took out the antidote, handed it to Li Quan, and whispered, "Take this quickly, you'll have strength soon."
After Li Quan swallowed the antidote, he felt his body gradually regain some strength.
When he saw the two children, heads bowed, huddled motionless by the roadside, he couldn't help but sigh deeply.
Li Quan turned to look at Jiang Jiyun and asked, "Is there any extra antidote here? I'd like to give some to my comrades as well."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jiyun quickly and obediently took out a cloth bag from her handbag, handed it to Li Quan, and replied, "Uncle, all the antidotes are here."
Xiao Qi first glanced at Li Quan, then turned her gaze to Jiang Jiyun, and finally suddenly reached out and ripped off the mask she was wearing.
He asked curiously, "You two aren't family, are you?"
Faced with Xiao Qi's sudden question, Jiang Jiyun seemed somewhat uneasy.
She stammered, "Uh...we're family, but we don't really know each other..."
As she spoke, Jiang Jiyun's voice grew softer and softer, as if she were afraid of being overheard.
Xiao Qi, who was standing to the side, became increasingly flustered and couldn't help but ask, "Will we get beaten up?"
However, Jiang Jiyun did not respond to Xiaoqi's concerns. She simply glanced at her silently, then quickly lowered her head and remained silent.
After everyone took the antidote, their previously weak and powerless bodies gradually began to regain their vitality.
So they struggled to their feet and stepped forward to help the others feed the remaining antidote.
As soon as Zhou Peng and Zhou Ze got up, they heard the villagers talking about how they had died today because of two children, one tall and one short, who had poisoned them.
The images of the little miracle doctor and her younger brother instantly flashed into their minds.
The two then followed Li Fei and hurriedly arrived at Jiang Jiyun and Xiao Qi's side.
They saw the two little ones slumped listlessly on the stool.
Meanwhile, several elderly men stood to the side, their faces grim, silently drinking their tea.
"Grandpa, I still have some good tea here!" Jiang Jiyun timidly placed the tea canister on the table and then quickly lowered her head.
The elderly people looked at the white porcelain jar in front of them, and then they all looked at the two dark little heads. They remained silent for a long time, but no one spoke.
Just then, a sharp shout suddenly rang out: "Jiang Jiyun!"
The roar was like a thunderclap, startling Jiang Jiyun so much that he trembled all over, and then he felt a dull pain in his buttocks.
Jiang Wenming followed Chen Meng into the house with an angry expression. Staring at the two children sitting at the table, he felt a surge of anger rising in his heart.
He felt his head buzzing, as if it were about to explode.
Just then, a woman walked into the room, carrying two steaming bowls of egg noodles.
With a smile, she said softly, "Don't rush to scold the children. Look how their stomachs have been growling several times. Let them fill their stomachs first before we talk about other things!"
Hearing this, Jiang Jiyun and Xiaoqi looked up. Their dirty, muddy little faces now looked especially endearing.
Especially her large, clear eyes, which were fixed on Jiang Wenming as he approached, revealed a hint of fear and unease.
Suddenly, a loud rumbling sound broke the brief silence; Jiang Jiyun's stomach was protesting again.
She quickly reached out her small hand and tightly covered her stomach, seemingly trying to cover up the embarrassing sound, but it was too late.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and thank your aunt. We'll settle the bill after we finish eating!" Jiang Wenming urged from the side.
"Thank...thank you...Auntie!" Xiaoqi stammered out these words through her teeth.
Then he couldn't wait to grab his chopsticks and start eating the egg noodles in front of him in big mouthfuls.
Jiang Jiyun hesitated for a moment before whispering her thanks, then picked up her chopsticks and began to eat heartily.
The black noodles in the bowl were made of some kind of flour, and topped with two golden poached eggs and a few tender green vegetables, making it look extremely tempting.
Jiang Jiyun finished the last bite of food with satisfaction and patted his stomach.
Then, raising his head to face the group of suspicious-looking people around him, he took a deep breath and calmly began to explain: "Comrades! I really didn't mean to offend you, please believe me!"
"Tell me why you drugged us!" Li Quan said, still shaken. "Luckily you didn't poison us, otherwise so many of our lives would have been lost for no reason."
Jiang Jiyun awkwardly explained, "Actually, it's not our fault. It's your flaws that are too obvious. We just feel that something is not right in your village, but we can't quite put our finger on what the problem is."
"So, I couldn't resist my curiosity and wanted to sneak in to see if there was anything going on... I'm really sorry! I apologize for causing everyone trouble!"
As Jiang Jiyun spoke, he bowed ninety degrees to everyone in the room. Xiao Qi quickly followed suit, afraid that his uncle would give them a beating.
After listening to Jiang Jiyun's explanation, Li Quan and the others frowned and fell into deep thought.
They tried to recall every detail that had happened, attempting to figure out where they had slipped up and allowed the other side to notice something amiss.
However, no matter how hard they racked their brains, they still couldn't come up with a solution.
Finally, Li Quan couldn't help but interrupt Jiang Jiyun's attempt to continue.
He pressed on directly, "So what makes you so sure there's a problem with our village? You have to give me a reason! You can't just make random guesses out of thin air!"
Jiang Jiyun slowly swept his gaze across the puzzled faces of everyone present.
Then, without any haste, he replied, "The reason is quite simple. I heard Brother Zhou Peng mention that you all take special care of Grandma Cai and Sister Siya; and that Sister Qinghui also told me that Sister Siya was a New Fourth Army soldier who was seriously wounded on the battlefield and then retired."
At this point, Jiang Jiyun paused for a moment, then changed her tone and continued, "But just now, a deafening explosion suddenly came from over there, and Grandma Cai and Sister Siya were in danger and their lives were hanging by a thread."
"Your village has so many strong and healthy men, yet not a single one stepped forward to help and rescue them!"
