While she was anxiously trying to think of a solution, the two of them had already hurriedly walked quite a distance in the opposite direction.

In her anxiety, Cheng Ying called out the other person's name, "Captain Li Zhengyuan, Wang Cheng, are you guys?"

Startled, Li Zhengyuan and Wang Cheng quickly turned around to see that the person who called them was a girl of about ten years old, and then looked at the people around her, who were all teenagers.

Li Zhengyuan hesitated for a moment, then came to his senses, walked towards them, and finally his gaze fell on the ten-year-old girl.

He noticed that the little girl's clothes were completely unpatched, and that all the boys and the little girl had rosy complexions and didn't look like they had ever gone hungry. It seemed that they came from well-off families!

But then again, with food so scarce these days, what kind of large families raised these children, yet they still look so chubby?

With some doubt in his mind, Li Zhengyuan asked, "Little girl, were you calling us? Do you know us?"

Seeing Li Zhengyuan's wary expression, Cheng Ying couldn't help but laugh and say, "My cousin is Cheng Ying. I'm sorry, Uncle Li and Uncle Wang, I was impolite just now."

To put their guard up, he immediately gave them his name.

Upon hearing Cheng Ying's name, Li Zhengyuan and Wang Cheng paused for a moment, then immediately rushed forward with great joy, grabbed Cheng Ying's shoulders, and asked:

"Young lady, you just said that Comrade Cheng Ying is your cousin."

Cheng Ying smiled and nodded: "Yes, I helped her get all that grain she got before!"

Upon hearing the mention of grain, Li Zhengyuan and Wang Cheng's thin faces lit up with immense joy, and they said in trembling voices, "Little girl, what did you say? You said you can also get grain?"

"Yes, Uncle Li, do you still need food? I can get you some more!"

Upon hearing that the young girl could get them food, he trusted her without hesitation. After all, although many people knew Cheng Ying, he trusted anyone connected to her.

Although it is a great pity that Comrade Cheng Ying has sacrificed her life, she will live on forever in their hearts. What a wonderful comrade she was, who solved so many difficulties for them.

Looking at these children again, I felt that their chubby faces were perfectly normal. Since they were able to get food, they must not be short of food.

No, he must take this opportunity to build a good relationship with them.

"Little girl, what's your name?"

"Your cousin Cheng Ying and I went through thick and thin together before. It's a pity that we were separated because of our mission. I never thought that this separation would be our last."

"By the way, we haven't met before, have we? How do you know our names?"

Li Zhengyuan suddenly realized that they had never met before, yet this little girl was able to recognize them even when they concealed their faces.

As an information gatherer, he had to figure out all the illogical phenomena, including all the questionable points.

This has always been his principle in life; in fact, he didn't know that this phenomenon is also called an occupational disease in modern times.

"Oh! Uncle Li, Uncle Wang, let me formally introduce myself. My name is Lin Tong'er. These are my older and younger brothers. Because I am young, my older and younger brothers came with me to do this mission."

"The reason I recognized you is because I saw you and Uncle Wang from afar before, but I didn't say hello!"

Li Zhengyuan nodded in sudden realization: "Oh, I see. So, what brings you here today?"

Before speaking, Cheng Ying deliberately looked around and whispered to Li Zhengyuan:

"Uncle Li, actually, the main reason we came here was to contact our comrades who came specifically to deliver food to you."

"I'm worried about not being able to find anyone I know to deliver the grain to the organization."

"What a coincidence! It just so happens that I've run into Uncle Li and Uncle Wang! Giving the grain to you is the same as giving it to the organization, right?"

Li Zhengyuan and Wang Cheng exchanged a glance, both seeing the excitement in the other's eyes, and then nodded heavily to Cheng Ying.

"Comrade Lin Tong'er, Comrade Li and I have worked together for many years and have always been contributing to our Communist Party. This original intention has never changed."

"Also, although we have defeated the Japanese devils, the organization is now at odds with the Nationalist army."

"The situation is not optimistic. The main problem is food and supplies. We are fortunate to have met you. We hope you can provide substantial assistance to our People's Liberation Army to help us overcome this difficulty."

Wang Cheng, who had been silent until now, explained excitedly.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Ying couldn't help but feel deep respect for their indomitable spirit. "Uncle Li, Uncle Wang, don't worry, we came here specifically to provide assistance to the organization."

"But at the same time, it's the same old rule as when my cousin was here: we can donate any food and supplies to the organization free of charge, but you can't ask about the source of our food and supplies."
