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

Chapter 968 Returning Home for Revenge

Zhou Xiaoya quickly offered words of comfort: "Sister Juan, don't be discouraged. No matter what the illness is, there are ways to treat it!"

Yu Juan trembled all over, her face filled with terror as she cried out, "I...I might have syphilis!!!"

Her shout was like a bolt from the blue, leaving everyone present stunned.

Liu Bing and Zhou Xiaoya stared wide-eyed at Yu Juan, who looked utterly desperate.

Jiang Jiyun pushed her way through a group of women to the front, and said to Yu Juan with a confident look, "These are just minor ailments. I'm fully confident I can cure you."

Yu Juan raised her head, looked at the little girl in front of her, and a bitter smile appeared on her lips. "You don't need to lie to me anymore. From ancient times to the present, who has ever been able to truly cure someone with this kind of dirty disease?"

After saying that, she stood up, patted her clothes, looked around, and then said firmly, "Don't worry, I won't infect you with the disease. I'll leave now."

Jiang Jiyun quickly reached out and grabbed Yu Juan, saying with certainty, "I assure you, I can definitely cure your illness and make you fully recovered."

Looking at Jiang Jiyun, Yu Juan felt a surge of hope in her heart upon seeing her confident and sincere eyes.

Just as Yu Juan hesitated, she suddenly turned around, picked up the medicine bowl, and drank it all in one gulp.

After watching her finish her medicine, Jiang Jiyun smiled and said to Yu Juan, "Come to the city with me tomorrow. I'll go buy some medicinal herbs. You need to use a medicinal bath to detoxify."

Yu Juan remained hesitant, unsure whether she should trust this unfamiliar young girl.

But Jiang Jiyun's persistence and decisiveness made her waver, and she couldn't help but ask, "Can it really be cured?"

Jiang Jiyun nodded vigorously in affirmation.

A glimmer of hope flashed in Yu Juan's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by hatred.

She gritted her teeth and said, "I still have revenge to take. Tell me your address. If I survive, I'll come find you. If I die there, don't waste your precious medicine."

Jiang Jiyun was very surprised by Yu Juan's words. She did not know the specific situation of Yu Juan, and naturally did not know how deep the hatred in her heart was.

However, Tang Danqing, who was standing to the side, knew all about Yu Juan's situation.

Yu Juan was not abducted, but sold to those people by her closest relatives.

Jiang Jiyun blocked people with her body, took out three incense sticks and a small glass bottle from her bag, and then quickly walked to Yu Juan's side.

She lowered her voice and said, "This is a good thing. It's a sleeping potion, very powerful. Anyone who smells it will fall unconscious. And this small bottle contains the antidote."

Yu Juan's eyes lit up instantly. She had never expected that this little child would have such a powerful item. She eagerly took the item from Jiang Jiyun's hand.

However, Yu Juan's curiosity was not satisfied. She immediately pressed on, "Is there any poison? The kind that can kill someone without them even noticing?"

Upon hearing this question, Jiang Jiyun suddenly became alert. She stared intently at Yu Juan, shook her head vigorously, and answered without hesitation, "No! Absolutely not!"

After telling Yu Juan where they were staying temporarily, Jiang Jiyun quickly turned around and walked away a few steps.

As she walked, she saw a clump of weeds by the roadside, so she stopped and shouted to everyone, "Everyone, please be careful! Do not touch this plant! It's called a Dieffenbachia, and it's poisonous all over. If you don't get it treated in time, you could die!"

After Jiang Jiyun finished speaking, she glanced at Yu Juan and continued to brew the medicine.

Yu Juan smiled knowingly. She knew that the child was with the New Fourth Army and would definitely not openly give her poison. The sleeping incense was meant for self-defense.

Poison is something that someone would never give to you if they had leaves. Now that you know what's poisonous, it has nothing to do with the other person.

Liu Bing whispered, "Sister Juan, we can help you too. There's strength in numbers!"

Yu Juan shook her head and said, "No need. My mother is still suffering in the Yu family. I'll deal with the people there myself."

After she finished speaking, she looked at the dripping Guanyin statue.

Jiang Jiyun rushed back to the place where the medicine was being decocted and immediately saw Jiang Wenming helping to watch the fire.

Jiang Jiyun quickly walked to Jiang Wenming's side and said in a low voice, "Uncle, I just went to see Yu Juan, and she doesn't seem to be doing well. I'm a little worried that if she goes back to seek revenge, she might fall into the tiger's den instead."

Upon hearing Jiang Jiyun's words, Jiang Wenming suddenly stopped what he was doing, turned his head, and stared directly at Jiang Jiyun.

He said slowly, "Do you know that your aunt married someone with the surname Yu?"

Jiang Jiyun recalled that the aunts in the village had mentioned in casual conversation that her eldest aunt had no choice but to voluntarily become a maid in a wealthy family because her family was too poor.

Later, somehow, my aunt became that family's concubine.

Her adoptive father was heartbroken when his aunt became a concubine. He worried that she would be mistreated in that family, so he went there several times to make a scene and tried to bring his aunt home.

He even promised that no matter how hard things got at home, he would never let his aunt go hungry.

However, the eldest aunt refused to go home with her adoptive father and even took the initiative to sever her sibling relationship with him.

After that, the father, in a fit of anger, left home to work and earn money. It was during his trip that he coincidentally saved Jiang Jiyun's mother, Xiang Shi.

Jiang Jiyun said with a complicated expression, "Uncle, do you think she wouldn't happen to be my aunt's daughter?"

Jiang Wenming thought for a moment and said, "Impossible. The Yu family, where your aunt lives, is in the provincial capital of our area. How could they possibly be here!"

Jiang Jiyun thought about it and agreed. She hoped that if her older sister wanted to go back and take revenge, she shouldn't be soft-hearted, otherwise she would never have another chance to turn things around.

The next day, just as dawn broke, Lao Guo and his men left with the guerrillas, carrying their belongings.

Liu Bing and the other women were really worried about Yu Juan, who had left alone, so they went to Zhao Huashan to ask for his help.

Jiang Wenming, carrying his sleeping niece on his back, didn't pay attention to what they were saying and prepared to leave with Xiao Tian.

However, when Tang Danqing mentioned that the Yu family lived in Nantian Township and that the head of the family was named Yu Peihong, he realized that his family was in the grain business.

Jiang Wenming looked at Tang Danqing, who was talking to Zhao Huashan, and walked over to ask, "You said Yu Juan's father is named Yu Peihong?"

Upon hearing Jiang Wenming's question, Tang Danqing quickly explained, "Yes, her father was originally a grain merchant in Shandong Province. After the Japanese occupied that area, their family moved here, and it's only been a few years since they moved here."

Jiang Wenming asked anxiously, "Is it really Yu Peihong? Is Yu Juan the daughter of the first wife or the concubine?"
