When Zhou Yikang woke up, he looked around in a daze and found that they were lying on a pile of hay. He thought about how they had been imprisoned in the Japanese military camp before, and now where they were.

Zhou Yikang sat up abruptly, and just then he heard someone say, "You're awake. Are you hungry? Come and have something to eat!"

Zhou Yikang then noticed a little girl eating nearby and asked, "Who are you, miss?"

Cheng Ying looked at him and said, "You can call me Comrade Cheng. Have you forgotten? I'm the one who rescued you."

Zhou Yikang then remembered that the owner of the voice was the same one he had heard in the Japanese military camp. "Comrade Cheng, thank you for rescuing us. If there is anything I can do for you, please feel free to use me."

After Zhou Yikang finished speaking, he turned to look at his parents and saw that they had also woken up. He immediately went over and helped his parents sit up.

"Father, Mother, are you alright?"

Zhou Yikang's parents looked around and realized they were no longer in the Japanese military camp. "Xiaokang, did we come out of there?"

Zhou Yikang said excitedly, "Yes, we were rescued by Comrade Cheng."

Zhou Yikang asked in confusion, "Xiaokang, who is Comrade Cheng?"

Zhou Yikang explained, "It's Comrade Cheng, the one who rescued us from the Japanese army camp! She's over there."

After hearing Zhou Yikang's explanation, he looked at Cheng Ying, who was eating, and realized that there was only a little girl opposite them. Could it be that this little girl was the one who saved them?

Zhou Yikang's parents looked back at him again, wanting to confirm their thoughts. Zhou Yikang nodded to his parents, "Yes, that's right, she is a member of Comrade Cheng's guerrilla team."

Zhou Yikang's parents then realized that although Cheng Ying looked young, she was obviously very capable. They immediately got up and went to Cheng Ying, knelt down with a thud, and kowtowed, saying, "Our benefactor, thank you for saving our whole family's lives!"

Cheng Ying was startled by this sudden action and quickly stood up to help the two elderly people up. "No, no, please get up. This is what I should do."

Zhou Yikang quickly helped his parents up, saying, "Dad, Mom, what are you doing? Comrade Cheng certainly won't accept such a grand gesture from us."

Cheng Ying waved her hand with a smile, "It's alright, uncle and aunt, you don't need to be so polite." After all this commotion, the group officially got to know each other.

"We are very grateful to Comrade Xiao Cheng for saving our lives and freeing us from coercion by the Japanese."

Cheng Ying smiled and said, "Uncle and Aunt, no need to thank me. Come and have something to eat with us. We should be on our way soon."

Zhou Yikang immediately thanked him, "Thank you! I'm so sorry to have troubled you again, Comrade Cheng."

"Uncle and Auntie, Comrade Zhou, please don't be so polite. After all, we are all Chinese, and we should help each other."

As for the mistake made by their eldest son, Zhou Shiyi, Cheng Ying has not yet told them.

After all, nothing is settled yet. Let Captain Zhang and the others decide when they meet!

Zhou Yikang and his parents ate something and rested for a while before heading towards the people who were there to pick them up.

Although Cheng Ying didn't know where Captain Zhang and his group's base was, she knew the general direction, so she led Zhou Yikang and the others in that direction, knowing that someone would come to pick them up later!

Just two or three kilometers after they walked, Cheng Ying's communicator rang. She answered it and saw the number on it, wondering who was calling her.

"Hello, this is Cheng Ying. Where are you from?"

All I heard was a voice on the other end saying, "Hello, Comrade Cheng, I am Li Yan, a member of Captain Liu's guerrilla team. I heard from Captain Liu that we were sent to pick you up. Where are you now?"

Cheng Ying chuckled upon hearing this, and then revealed their location, "Oh, we're halfway to your base, but I don't know the exact location, so we're heading in this direction. When you came, you should have started from..."

After explaining where they were waiting for them, they hung up the communicator.

When they arrived at the agreed village, it was already past three in the afternoon. Cheng Ying led them to a house to inquire about the location of the village chief's house, and then they went to the village chief's house!

It is said that the village chief has relatives in Captain Zhang's guerrilla team, so they agreed to wait for someone to come and pick them up at his house.

Once she arrived at the place she had inquired about, Cheng Ying went up and knocked on the door. After a short while, she heard someone open the door and a man's voice inside asking, "Who is it?"

Upon opening the door, the two people, not recognizing each other, asked, "Who are you?"
