Chapter 1159 He is He Zheng and Zheng Yiren's child
As night fell, Jiang Jiyuan and Xiao Wei's group finally returned.
Upon entering the house, everyone sat together and joined the team making pills.
Jiang Jiyuan, Zhang An, and others skillfully rolled the pills while discussing matters related to Chaotian Temple.
Yu Sunian and Lu Yi, who were standing nearby, also exchanged the information they had gathered with them.
Nan Huan then led Xiao Tian and Xiao Wei into the kitchen to help Jiang Wenming cook.
The kitchen was filled with a delicious aroma. Jiang Jiyun and Xiao Qi sat on small stools, eating the meat bones that their uncle had given them.
While picking vegetables, Xiao Tian suddenly noticed a figure closely following Jiang Jiyun to the pot, waiting for his uncle to feed him, like a little tail that never left his side.
He asked curiously, "Hey! Uncle, Xiaoyun, when did you bring back a chubby little guy from outside?"
As he spoke, his gaze fell on the cute little boy.
Upon hearing the sound, Jiang Wenming paused slightly in his stir-frying, but quickly resumed his work.
He replied softly, “The child’s parents are old acquaintances of ours. From now on, we will take care of the child, and Xiaoyun plans to place him there.”
Xiao Tian was clearly confused by the answer. He was about to ask further when he was suddenly kicked by Xiao Wei.
Feeling the pain, Xiaotian had no choice but to obediently shut her mouth and stop making a sound.
Once the surroundings quieted down, Jiang Wenming lowered his voice and said to them, "Actually, this child's parents have already sacrificed themselves. Now he is wandering alone in a foreign land. If we entrust him to the care of the villagers, we really can't feel at ease. After thinking it over, the only way to ensure his safety is to leave him there."
Little Qi, who was next to him, ate the braised pork that his future older sister was feeding him, and squinted his eyes happily.
Outside, Zhang An and Jiang Jiyuan put the completed antidote pills into bottles and carefully cleaned the table where the medicine and tools were placed.
After finishing all this, Jiang Jiyuan washed his hands, turned to face Jiang Wenming who was about to serve the dishes, and said, "Uncle, after dinner, you can continue to help make the antidote pills at home."
Jiang Wenming looked at him and asked, "Are you going out tonight? Didn't you find any information during the day?"
Zhang An whispered, "There's nothing wrong with it from the outside during the day, and there are definitely workers repairing it inside. We've decided to sneak in and take a look tonight."
Jiang Jiyuan recalled that during the day, whenever they approached, those people would become wary like hedgehogs, and they never dared to get close.
He twirled his fingers and said, "Zhang An and I are planning to go again tonight to see if there's anything unusual inside. As for Xiao Tian and Xiao Wei, we can let them stay home and help out."
As Jiang Wenming answered his nephew, he picked up the dishes and walked out, casually asking, "Oh, by the way, Xiao Yuan, do you remember your classmates He Zheng and Zheng Yiren?"
Hearing this, Jiang Jiyuan was somewhat surprised, but he still nodded subconsciously.
He asked, "Of course I remember. What's wrong? Are they in Jinling now? Could it be... you ran into them today?"
Jiang Wenming did not directly answer his nephew's question, but instead slightly raised his chin and gestured in a certain direction.
Following his uncle's pointing finger, Jiang Jiyuan noticed a little boy following closely behind Jiang Jiyun, carrying a stack of bowls and chopsticks, clearly helping out.
“That child is their child,” Jiang Wenming told him.
"Hmm?" Jiang Jiyuan couldn't help but frown and ask, "Uncle, what do you mean? This little guy is He Zheng and Zheng Yiren's child? But where did they go? How could they entrust their child to you to take care of?"
Chang asked in astonishment, "You two know each other's parents? Why would you let such a young child wander barefoot outside the city all by himself?"
Jiang Jiyuan's expression suddenly darkened, and he asked in surprise, "He's wandering alone? What exactly happened?"
Ye Yuncheng recounted how they encountered the child.
Jiang Jiyuan became even more puzzled upon hearing this.
Jiang Wenming lowered his voice and said slowly, "He Zheng and Zheng Yiren have died heroically. No one is taking care of him, so he may be searching for food on his own."
Jiang Jiyuan never dreamed that when he heard news of the two again, it would be that they had both sacrificed their lives!
He cautiously probed, "Is this news absolutely certain? And what makes you so sure this child is their biological offspring? Do you have any concrete evidence?"
Jiang Wenming had just sat down and was about to pick up his chopsticks when he heard Jiang Jiyuan say this, and his movements suddenly froze.
He learned this news from Jiang Jiyun, who must have heard it from a child.
With Jiang Jiyun's brains, there aren't many people who can fool her.
He pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice, "That child shouldn't be lying, and Xiaoyun isn't someone who's easily fooled. Aren't you overthinking this?"
Jiang Jiyuan sighed heavily, then took out his phone from his pocket, stood up, and said in a somber tone, "Children don't lie, but sometimes they might talk nonsense. I need to call the people in Su City to find out what's going on. After all, those two have been acting as underground liaisons in the area. We have to be careful. What if they've just disappeared? Anything can happen..."
After saying these words, Jiang Jiyuan gripped his phone tightly and walked towards the room.
Deep down, he didn't want to accept such a cruel fact: those two shrewd people had actually sacrificed themselves.
At this moment, Jiang Jiyun and Xiao Qi sat silently in place, without saying a word.
In fact, Jiang Jiyun originally planned to wait until her brother returned and ask him to help investigate the matter.
Xiao Qi, who was standing to the side, was in a slightly tipsy state because she had just absorbed the power of merit from Jiang Jiyun.
To Xiao Qi's surprise, despite having absorbed so much merit, the golden light emanating from Jiang Jiyun's body did not diminish at all.
Not only that, but the other people sitting at the surrounding tables were also enveloped in a dazzling golden light.
At this point, Xiaoqi finally believed that she really didn't have to worry about dying this time!
Jiang Jiyun looked at him with a smile in her eyes. Only after her brother found out about He Zheng and Zheng Yiren's situation would she decide whether or not to keep this little fat boy.
She used to read novels where systems could be good or bad. Although a system that required merit points couldn't be that bad, she wouldn't use a system that was too saintly. She hated those saintly people who insisted on doing good deeds regardless of the situation.
