Volume 1 Chapter 309 Working Together

Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to raise their hands.

Once you go this way, can you ever come back?

It was raining heavily, the temperature was 20 degrees below zero, and the flood was chest-high!

But if I don’t go, will I just wait to die?

Pan Yue took a deep breath and raised her hand: "I'll go."

"I'm going too."

Aunt Xie also raised her hand. As a military wife, she had to do a good job of taking care of her men in the rear.

I am at my age now and my children are grown up, so I have no regrets.

It is better to hope for a chance of survival than to wait for death here.

"I...will go too."

Captain Fang’s wife (Xu Guihua) raised her hand. Her eldest son is already 11 years old.

Knowing where his mother was going, he cried and hugged her waist tightly, not letting her go.

"Mom... don't abandon us."

Captain Fang's wife (Xu Guihua) turned her head away with red eyes, biting her lips tightly, not daring to look at the child.

What will happen to the children if I don’t go?

She had to fight for a way to survive for her children.

"I...will go too."

Captain Wang’s wife (Yang Wanshu) also raised her hand.

This woman, who usually looks gentle as water, stood up at this moment.

"I'm going too!"

“I’ll go!”

"Count me in!"

"I'm going too!"

"I'm going too."

"And me."

More and more military wives came forward, and Sheng Wanyan felt somewhat emotional when she saw this.

Liang Qian and Zhang Zhaodi rolled their eyes at the back. Are they all going to die?

Only Sheng Wanyan likes to show off and is not afraid of killing others.

Neither of them raised their hands. They didn't want to seek death in such a life-threatening job.

Sheng Wanyan counted the number of people and there were 50 military wives in total.

"Auntie, you stay and let the rest boil the hot water, prepare the ginger soup, and cook the rice for everyone."

Sheng Wanyan saw that the remaining people were all elderly people, and things would definitely be in chaos, so she had to let Aunt Xie stay to take care of the rear-line work.

"Yan'er, Auntie can go with you."

Aunt Xie thought Sheng Wanyan didn't want her to help, and she felt a little anxious.

"Aunt, you have to do a good job in the rear area. Everyone's health depends on you. I feel relieved to leave this matter to you."

When Aunt Xie heard this, she realized how important the burden of work in the rear areas was.

"Okay, Yan'er, don't worry, I promise to get everyone ready."

"What do we use to stop the drain?"

Everyone was full of passion, but still didn't know what Sheng Wanyan was going to do.

"Has everyone brought their blankets?"

"I brought it here."

"You mean to block it with a quilt?"

"The quilt is a good idea, but how much can it block?"

It’s such a large area, no matter how many quilts they have, they can’t cover it.

"Everyone bring all the quilts from home. We just need to sew them together to make a big net."

"As for clothes, you can sew them. The taller and longer the better."

"Just leave some clothes for everyone to keep warm."

As soon as Sheng Wanyan said this, Aunt Xie clapped her hands in applause.

This method is feasible. The quilt absorbs water and needs to be tied to a pole to withstand the speed of the water flow.

"What a waste!"

Everyone felt sad. There were only one or two quilts in everyone's home, and how could they be ruined like this?

"When it gets dirty, just wash it clean. How can it be more important than your life?"

"What's the point of keeping these things if you're dead?"

Everyone thought it made sense once they heard it, and it would definitely be good if they could take it back and continue using it.

“You can sew a mark on the quilt of a house so you can identify it yourself.”

When everyone heard this, they started to take action and moved their clothes, quilts and other items to homes that had sewing machines.

"Does anyone know how to water?"

"I can! I'm from the South and grew up by the sea."

"So can I."

"I can do it, too. I learned it in the village before."

In this era, many people can swim, and they all grew up swimming in the village rivers.

"Those who can swim can walk in front and the people behind can pass it."

"Sisters-in-law who have nothing to do, come with me to the mountains to chop wood and float it in the water. The more the better."

"What are you chopping wood for?"

"Wood can float on water and can save lives."

Everyone took action as soon as they heard it. The moment Sheng Wanyan went into the water, she couldn't help but tremble.

The same goes for the other sisters-in-law. The water is still at chest level and they can walk through it.

When they got to the mountain, Sheng Wanyan arranged to watch the wood being cut and demonstrated how to use it in the water.

Everyone’s eyes lit up when they saw it. They didn’t expect that wood could be used in this way!

"Leave 20 people here to chop wood and slowly drag it to the water outlet, okay?"

"If the water rises and you can't swim, just lie on the log and swing your feet."

Sheng Wanyan demonstrated it once, and everyone went into the water to experience it.

I was relieved to find that I could indeed swim.

"Can!"

"You can tie a few together with ropes and carry them over together. You can all cooperate with each other and save time."

"Okay, okay, we all know it."

Sheng Wanyan looked around and saw that Xu Guihua had handed this place over to her to control.

"Captain Fang's wife, I'm sorry to bother you here."

"If there is really no other way, just go further into the mountains."

"The mountains are still safer than the ground."

In the current situation, the mountain is high up and is the safest place.

"I will arrange it according to what you said, don't worry."

Sheng Wanyan nodded, went into the water and returned to the family compound.

The other sisters-in-law also sewed the quilts, and Sheng Wanyan asked the soldiers' wives to swim over with the quilts.

"The rest of the people go to the mountains to help carry wood!"

The remaining military wives who could not swim went towards the mountains. Pan Yue could also swim.

Following her were the military wives who knew how to swim, pulling the large blanket towards the direction of the water flow.

After swimming for more than 20 minutes, we finally reached the water outlet.

The water here flows from the village, and it seems that the situation in the village is not much better.

Political Commissar Xie soaked in the water, following other military leaders in carrying sandbags to block the water outlet.

The water reached the neck level and everyone was anxious.

“Not enough sandbags!”

Father Pan yelled, and Political Commissar Xie was helpless. All the available resources in the army were used.

"You guys go back and bring the tables and these over."

"Take whatever you have, don't worry!"

"Yes! Political Commissar!"

There were only 10 soldiers left in the army, as well as the guards of the leaders.

All together, there are only 30 people.

The soldier received the order to go back, and when he saw Sheng Wanyan and the others from afar, he thought he was seeing things.

"Commissar... look!"

“It’s the sisters-in-law!”

When Political Commissar Xie heard this, he immediately turned around and saw smoke coming out of Sheng Wanyan and a group of people’s heads!

"What's going on? Why are you coming here?!"

"This is just nonsense!"

"Do you want to die?"

Father Pan and other leaders couldn't believe it either. They watched them swimming towards them with their eyes wide open.

"Xiao Yue!"

When Mr. Pan saw his daughter, he was frightened out of his wits.
