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

Chapter 1161 A Dog Catching a Mouse

Jiang Jiyun gently stroked Xiao Qi's fluffy head and said affectionately, "From now on, all the merits we've accumulated can be used by you. Just let us know whenever you need anything!"

Xiaoqi felt someone gently pinching her cheek, and couldn't help but feel a little shy and bashful.

He blushed and replied softly, "Thank you, sister. Actually, with all the merit you've accumulated, I probably wouldn't be able to use it all in this lifetime. I don't need my brother or uncles."

Seeing his furrowed brows, Jiang Jiyun asked, "Why do you look so troubled? You're so young, you shouldn't be so mature. Tell me what's wrong, maybe I can help!"

Xiaoqi picked at her fingers and said, "Now that my host is gone, and I've only recently taken human form, I feel really lost and confused about the future..."

Hearing Xiaoqi's words, Jiang Jiyun patted her chest confidently and comforted her, "Don't worry, since you don't have anywhere you want to go, then you can come with your sister to explore the world from now on! Let your sister lead you to earn more merits."

After saying that, she turned around and walked quickly toward the drain.

At that moment, Xiao Tian and the others, who were standing at the door, saw a large group of Taoist priests wearing Taoist robes, bearing injuries and carrying guns running towards them from a distance.

While they were lying in ambush at the door, Jiang Wenming had already contacted Jiang Jiyuan and learned that a group of Taoist priests had escaped, and that those people were imposters who were actually Japanese soldiers in disguise.

As the group of enemies disguised as Taoist priests gradually approached within effective firing range, they watched as the enemy gradually closed in.

Jiang Wenming issued the order without hesitation—Open fire immediately!

In an instant, bursts of gunfire rang out, and the continuous spray of submachine guns was also deafening.

At that very moment, Jiang Jiyun and Xiao Qi successfully climbed out of the sewer.

The two cautiously poked their heads out of a sewage well in a narrow alley, like two wary little mice.

After Jiang Jiyun carefully confirmed that the surrounding environment was safe, he then lifted Xiao Qi up and sent her out of the cave.

Then, she quickly turned around, put down the heavy manhole cover, and quietly came to Xiaoqi's side.

Xiao Qi stood close to the wall, her eyes scanning her surroundings warily.

Suddenly, Xiao Qi lowered her voice and said to Jiang Jiyun, "Sister, something's not right over there!"

Jiang Jiyun looked in the direction he was pointing, but did not find anything unusual.

So she asked in confusion, "What went wrong? The battlefield we're supposed to go to is clearly in one of the other two places!"

However, Xiao Qi answered with great certainty, "Sister, although it looks normal on the surface, I feel that there is a strong aura of bloodshed over there, and it is much stronger than the other two sides!"

Jiang Jiyun stared wide-eyed at Xiao Qi in disbelief, wondering if this guy had learned feng shui.

He jokingly asked, "Oh ho, you don't actually understand feng shui now?"

Xiao Qi shook her head and explained earnestly, "No, actually I can only sense something called 'qi'. And the death qi over there is particularly dense. If we can resolve this crisis, we should be able to gain a lot of merit."

After listening to Xiao Qi's words, Jiang Jiyun nodded thoughtfully, "You have this talent, you can learn it in the future."

Then, Xiao Qi muttered to herself, "Hmm...maybe I really should find a master to study under some master in the future. That way, I can not only earn more merit, but I might also have the chance to become a true master!"

Jiang Jiyun thought the idea was quite good and wondered to himself whether Daoist Kongqing and the others would be willing to accept such a talented disciple.

The two walked side by side, talking as they went.

And so they ran through three streets before plunging into a narrow, winding alley.

Xiao Qi led Jiang Jiyun left and right, as if exploring a maze, until they finally arrived at a house.

Jiang Jiyun looked closely and saw the dilapidated, overgrown courtyard and the faded writing on the walls.

"This...isn't this the former site of the military government? Could someone be hiding here, deliberately creating chaos and destruction?" she whispered.

At this moment, the atmosphere around them became increasingly eerie and terrifying, and Xiao Qi also sensed a strange aura permeating the air.

He walked straight to the entrance of the sewer, preparing to sneak into the house through the pipes as before.

However, at that moment, Jiang Jiyun quickly reached out and grabbed Xiao Qi, saying firmly, "I'll go down first, you just stay close behind me."

Although she knew in her heart that, as a system, Xiao Qi might know more.

But after all, the person standing in front of me is just a young boy!

She simply couldn't bring herself to let such a young child risk their life on the front lines.

Jiang Jiyun jumped down first and then caught Xiao Qi behind her.

Wearing headlamps, the two cautiously walked in, but they soon realized something was wrong; there were far too many rats in this place!

"Why are all these rats' eyes so red? And they don't seem afraid of humans at all..." Jiang Jiyun stopped in his tracks when he saw the scene under the light above his head.

Xiaoqi also noticed the mice, which were about the same size as cats, and their eyes gleamed with an eerie red light in the pitch-black environment.

Seeing several rats slowly approaching them, Jiang Jiyun quickly took out a pistol that had been fitted with a silencer and swiftly aimed and fired.

With each muffled gunshot, rats fell to the ground, dead.

The other rats that hadn't yet gotten close were so frightened that they fled in panic.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Jiyun released the half-grown dogs from the space.

Despite the common saying that "a dog catching a mouse is meddling in other people's business," dogs do indeed have the ability to catch mice.

Jiang Jiyun guessed that the rats carried a virus, and the dogs in the space were physically strong, so as long as they didn't eat them, there wouldn't be a big problem.

She told those who had given her the order, "Listen up, you absolutely cannot let any rat leave here alive. But you can't eat the rats, just kill them!"

The puppies, who had just come out, hadn't even had a chance to stretch their limbs before huddling together in a tight ball. They barely managed to steady themselves when they suddenly heard a command from their owner.

"Wang Wang Wang..."

The dogs rushed out as soon as they received the command, and soon the sound of mice squeaking could be heard in the passage.
