When the car restarted, the engine made a low roar. Ma Chao, sitting in the passenger seat, quickly took out his cell phone to contact his superiors.

He elaborated on Jiang Wenming and others' ideas and plans in detail, and sincerely sought their opinions.

Time passed by, and the night gradually enveloped the earth. That night, they received instructions from the other end of the phone, asking them to go to the vicinity of Majiatun and informing Ma Chao that someone would be there to pick them up.

While the vehicle was driving, the driver found a suitable place to stop and rest.

Taking advantage of this gap, Ma Chao pulled Jiang Wenming aside, and the two of them whispered to each other.

After a long while, Jiang Wenming's eyes were red and he walked towards Jiang Jiyun who was sleeping soundly with heavy steps.

He stood quietly beside the car and stared for a moment, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

Afterwards, he gently bent down, reached out and stroked his little niece's hair, then turned around, picked up the big bag on the ground, took Xiang Xiuying into the car without hesitation, and left with Lin Hui and others in front.

As the car went farther and farther away, Jiang Jiyun, who stayed where he was, moved slightly as if he had sensed something.

She snuggled in Liu Zhiming's warm embrace, a crystal tear quietly sliding down the corner of her tightly closed eyes.

The tear slowly flowed down her cheek and finally disappeared into the darkness. Despite this, she never opened her eyes to watch her loved ones go away, perhaps because she was afraid that once she opened her eyes, she would no longer be able to control her emotions.

Ma Chao turned the steering wheel skillfully, and the vehicle turned the corner smoothly and sped towards another road.

Jiang Jiyun, sitting in Liu Zhiming's arms, remained silent, staring ahead, his heart seemingly full of worry.

After a long while, she finally couldn't help but ask, "Are my uncle and the others... really safe?" There was a hint of uneasiness and anxiety in her voice.

Ma Chao was driving attentively while turning his head and smilingly said to Jiang Jiyun, "Don't worry, little girl. Sun Bao and Zhang An are not simple people! They were both authentic Shaolin disciples before they joined the army. Their skills are beyond the reach of ordinary people. In our team, they are definitely the best in the army with extraordinary strength. And Ma Sheng, he is even more known as the 'Little Zhuge Liang in the army', and he has a very flexible mind! With the three of them together, your uncle and the others will definitely be fine."

After hearing what Ma Chao said, Jiang Jiyun breathed a sigh of relief, but his brows were still furrowed.

At this time, Xu Fan, who was sitting in the back row, also leaned forward and whispered to comfort her, "Yes, Sister Ji Yun, don't worry too much. We will only be able to meet up with them after two days' delay. Nothing will happen. I believe they will be able to complete the mission successfully and return safely to meet us."

In fact, Xu Fan and other team members are very clear about the special identity and importance of this little girl Jiang Jiyun.

Before this, they had heard about the relevant situation from Captain Ma. In addition to normal operations, this trip also included a special mission, and this mission was closely related to Jiang Jiyun.

They arrived near Majiatun before dawn. They were driving slowly. Two middle-aged men came out from both sides of the road. They looked at the car as if they were ready to die.

Ma Chao stopped the car, opened the door and went out to ask, "Excuse me, is this Comrade Li Erzhu?"

The two people on the other side suddenly felt alive after hearing this. They shouted to the back, "That's the person we are waiting for."

At this time, the grass not far away began to move, and several men climbed up from the ground, wearing decorative hats made of grass on their heads.

"Is the place ready? We are just here to explore the way, and the people delivering food and supplies will be here soon." Ma Chao asked.

Li Erzhu walked over excitedly and replied, "There is a depression over there. It won't rain recently. It's not far from the nearby villages. We can rest assured that everyone who has stored goods can take turns to come and collect them."

Ma Chao nodded in the direction Li Erzhu pointed and asked Li Erzhu, "Are you the liaison here? Where is our team now? They also need supplies, and we are here mainly for them."

"I'll take you there myself." Li Erzhu was reluctant to say it.

"Okay, then let's go to the depression over there first. You go back and call people, and we'll wait for the supplies to arrive." Ma Chao waved to the people in the car.

Hu Dahe and his men, carrying guns wrapped in cloth, followed Ma Chao with Jiang Jiyun, while Xu Fan and Chen Meng stayed behind to guard the car.

Jiang Jiyun looked at the place where they stayed. It was indeed a concave area, and it was indeed suitable to be used as a transit station.

"Comrade, when will the goods arrive?" Li Erzhu asked Ma Chao.

"How long will it take you to call every trustworthy person in each village over?" Ma Chao looked at the sky in the east. It would be sun-up soon there.

"A round trip would take at least a quarter of an hour at the fastest." Li Erzhu answered directly.

"They should be here soon, and you'll be able to see the supplies when you come back," Ma Chao assured.

Everyone who came with Li Erzhu looked at Li Erzhu. Under his arrangement, five or six of them ran out quickly.

After Zhao Huashan and Yu Ning confirmed that they had all left, Jiang Jiyun waved his hand and mountains of sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn cobs appeared.

Then he waved his hand and spread a tarpaulin on the other side, on which he laid out rice, wheat, and soybeans...

Next to the pile of corn, she put out some cardboard boxes, which were filled with military coats and cotton shoes.

Hu Dahe and the others looked at what appeared in the blink of an eye, and their legs almost went weak and they collapsed to the ground.

When Li Erzhu first led his men over and saw the mountains of food and supplies, he could not hide the shock in his eyes.

How did they accomplish so much in such a short time?

"Comrade Li Erzhu, please send someone to look after these many supplies. We have to leave immediately to find the guerrillas." Ma Chao said seriously.

"I understand. I'll take you there now. There are guerrillas in the mountains behind Wujiatun. They have now changed their name to the Anti-Enemy Coalition." Li Erzhu now completely trusts Ma Chao and his group.

"Sanxizi, take your men to watch the things first, and then redistribute them when they arrive. As long as the Japanese don't raid, no one will die this winter." Li Erzhu instructed the big man who was looking at the food and clothes with tears in his eyes.

"Zhu Sanxi got it, I will complete the task!" Zhu Sanxi quickly wiped away his tears with his sleeves and promised loudly.

Li Erzhu took them back to where the car was parked. He squeezed into the car and pointed at the road.

"Who are you?"

Two hours later, their car arrived near a village and was stopped by a group of children.

"Gouzi, tell your father that I'm here!" Li Erzhu got out of the car and said to the leader of the group of kids.

"Uncle Erzhu, my father just went back. I'll go call people now." A bald little boy said and ran back to the village.

A few minutes later, several men came out with the children. Jiang Jiyun looked at those handsome men and they didn't look like country people.
