It's alright, because after yesterday's battle, Su Weijun was considerate of the team members' hard work, so he made sure everyone rested more this morning, the second day, and there was no drill.

After Cheng Ying and the other women got up, they went to have breakfast. Breakfast was simple: a bowl of vegetable porridge and a flatbread for each person.

Cheng Ying could tell at a glance that this was a one-pot meal, with vegetable porridge simmering at the bottom and vegetable pancakes stuck to the side, killing two birds with one stone. The pancakes had some salt added, so no pickled vegetables were prepared.

In this day and age, as long as you're full, there aren't so many fussy things about. After breakfast, Cheng Ying decided to go for a walk and see the surroundings. She stepped out of the camp and strolled in the morning sunlight, feeling the fresh air.

As she walked, she came to a small grove of trees. The dappled shadows of the trees and the lush green grass were a sight to behold, a truly refreshing sight. Cheng Ying stopped and quietly admired the tranquil scenery.

Suddenly, she heard a faint sound, like someone crying. Curious, Cheng Ying followed the sound into the woods. Deep within the woods, she found a girl crouching under a tree, weeping.

Cheng Ying approached the girl and asked softly, "Little sister, what's wrong? Why are you crying here?" The girl looked up at Cheng Ying with her tear-blurred eyes.

Actually, when the little girl saw that Cheng Ying was not someone she knew, she hesitated and couldn't help but lower her head and silently shed tears.

Cheng Ying said gently, "I came here yesterday. You can call me Sister Cheng. Although we don't know each other, if you can tell me why you're crying here, maybe I can help you."

The little girl's name was Yingzi. Looking at the older girl in front of her, she didn't know why, but at that moment she wanted to tell her about her troubles, hoping that the older girl could help her solve them.

The little girl wiped away her tears with her sleeve and said firmly, "Hello, big sister, my name is Yingzi, and my brother is a member of the guerrilla team named Zhang Shengli."

Because my brother injured his arm in battle yesterday, the medic here said that his hand will be useless from now on. He is my only brother. My parents were killed by the Japanese devils, and my brother and I depend on each other for survival.

My brother joined the army to fight the Japanese invaders, and I came here to live with him. Now, if my brother can't hold a gun and fight the Japanese, then there's not much point for him here, and we might have to leave.

After hearing this, Cheng Ying finally understood why the little girl was so sad. Cheng Ying decided to help them, so she asked, "Where is your brother? Can you take me to see him? Maybe I can heal his hand."

The little girl, Yingzi, looked up in surprise and disbelief, her eyes fixed on Cheng Ying's young face. "Big sister, is what you're saying true?"

Cheng Ying smiled confidently and said, "I have some well-prepared wound medicine here, a unique formula that other doctors don't have. Maybe you can try it on your brother. What if it works? I'm very confident in my own unique formula!"

In fact, Cheng Ying said this because she genuinely wanted to help the little girl and her brother. After all, according to the little girl, her brother was also a member of the guerrillas. She hoped to do something meaningful within her ability to help more people in need!

Yingzi thought for a moment. Since the medic had determined that her brother's arm was beyond saving, she could only trust this older sister. The older sister didn't seem like a bad person, and she could tell that the older sister really wanted to help her.

Looking at her older sister's confident gaze, Yingzi couldn't help but believe that Cheng Ying was capable. So she made a decision and said, "Big sister, I believe in you. I'll take you to find my brother right now!"

Cheng Ying followed Yingzi to the place where her brother was recuperating. When Yingzi saw her brother leaning against the wall of a large kang (a heated brick bed), looking away, Yingzi felt heartbroken.

Her brother acted like he didn't care in front of her before because he didn't want her to worry, but he must have been very sad inside!

The older brother wasn't as indifferent as he appeared, because he knew that his brother had joined the army to avenge their parents, and now that he was suddenly told that his arm was useless, he must be very disappointed!

Then the secret medicine made by the eldest sister should definitely be used by the brother, just in case it might work as the eldest sister said.

Since there was this hope and this opportunity, she didn't want her brother to miss it! Yingzi called out, "Brother! Look who I brought!"

Yingzi's brother, Zhang Shengli, looked up, smiled when he saw his sister, and felt even worse when Yingzi saw her brother, who was different from before.

She immediately said, "I met Sister Cheng outside. She said she has a secret recipe for a good medicine that you can try."

Zhang Shengli looked behind his sister and saw a young woman. His eyes widened instantly. He recognized her as the heroine who had helped them in the battle.

He had also heard that she had many good medicines, and many wounded soldiers recovered quickly after taking them. But he didn't take any because the medic said his arm was ruined, so he didn't want to waste the pill.
