Chapter 314 Trying to Bring Li Zhan into Space

After hearing this, Xia Juanjuan felt a pang of pain in her nose.

She quickly took out a White Rabbit candy from her pocket and put it into Lizhan's palm.

Li Zhan was stunned for a moment, looked down, and then subconsciously looked at the refugees next to him.

Among the twenty-odd people, there were four or five children and several women, all of whom looked at Xia Juanjuan eagerly.

Xia Juanjuan immediately understood what he wanted to do and quickly said, "You are not allowed to do that!"

As he said that, he took the candy back from Lizhan's hand in a domineering manner, peeled off the candy wrapper and put it directly into Lizhan's mouth.

Li Zhan was a little embarrassed: "Trickle..."

He is a soldier. In this situation, how can he enjoy himself first and ignore other civilians?

However... this candy is a gift from his wife, how could he bear to refuse it?

Xia Juanjuan forcefully stuffed the candy into his mouth and said, "I have more... I'll give it to them later. Eat this."

After stuffing it in, she covered his mouth with her hands to prevent him from spitting it out.

Lizhan sighed without temper, raised his hand and grabbed hers, and said with a smile: "Isn't it okay for me to eat it?"

Xia Juanjuan then said angrily: "That's better."

As she spoke, she stood up and walked towards the women and children. She took out all the candies she had brought and distributed one to each of them.

After the women and children had divided the food, the remaining food was distributed to two frail old people, and the rest was distributed to other frail men.

The village here is even poorer than Qingshui Village. How can we have tasted the White Rabbit milk candy from Shanghai?

After the child ate it, he looked up to his mother happily, but weakly because of hunger, and said, "Mom! It's sweet! It's candy..."

Over there, the people in charge of soaking the dry grains had also prepared them. There were no bowls or anything, so they just used tree leaves to divide some between each person and let everyone eat slowly.

After their stomachs had adjusted a bit, each of them was given a mixed-wheat steamed bun, which they devoured voraciously.

Li Zhan saw that everyone had received their share before he ate with his brothers.

Xia Juanjuan took out matches and firewood and asked them to make a fire. It was impossible to cook porridge without a pot, but fortunately they could still roast sweet potatoes.

After he calmed down, Li Zhan briefly recounted what had happened in the past few days.

It turned out that they had already moved more than half of the villagers to high ground, and then went back to move the remaining group. Unexpectedly, before they reached the designated high ground, they heard the rumbling sound of water.

At that time, they were still at the foot of a small hill that was several dozen meters high, so Lizhan made a prompt decision and asked everyone to run up the mountain.

Later, we were almost chased by the flood and fled all the way to the top of the mountain.

But in the second half of the night, the water level continued to rise and even the top of the mountain was about to be flooded. Lizhan and other warriors helped everyone climb up the trees and tied their belts to the branches to prevent them from being washed away by the water.

They held on to the tree for more than a day before the flood waters receded a little, exposing the ground on the top of the mountain. Then everyone came down from the tree and landed on the ground.

Looking around now, all you can see is a marshland, and in the first few days, the current was very fast. Even if rescuers arrived, the small boat would most likely capsize if it tried to row over.

At first, they tried to shout loudly, hoping to attract people, but it was no use.

In order to conserve energy, Lizhan stopped everyone from shouting.

Originally, they had transported grain out from the collective granary in the village, but in order to avoid the flood, they simply threw it into the flood.

The matches and other things I brought with me were all wet. Although there were no heavy rains in the past few days, it had been cloudy and rainy. I couldn't find dry wood to start a fire or use smoke to call for help.

Lizhan did ask everyone to hang clothes and other things on the treetops, hoping that they would be seen by others, but it didn't work... That's why we were trapped for so many days.

Xia Juanjuan was also speechless after hearing this.

However, this small hill was indeed quite far away from where Zhang Weiguo was stationed, and they were so hungry that even if they shouted, there was no guarantee that they would be heard.

Even if he heard it, Xia Juanjuan suspected that Zhang Weiguo would not care enough to come and search for it.

Xia Juanjuan said: "I didn't bring much with me, probably not enough for everyone to have a full meal. Besides, it looks like it's going to rain later, and there's a chance this hill will be completely submerged again! We have to leave here as soon as possible. I rowed a small boat, which should be able to hold three or four people at a time..."

Li Zhan said, "Let Wei Bin go with you, and take two more people with you. Go there first and report the situation. Then let the others send more boats to take everyone out of danger."

Xia Juanjuan immediately shook her head and said, "No! I finally found you, don't try to chase me away!"

Wei Bin came over and said with a smile, "Captain, just let my sister-in-law stay. We promise to rush over there as quickly as possible to call for help. We won't let anyone get trapped here again."

After hearing this, Li Zhan thought that it would only take a few hours, and it would be faster if several men rowed the boat, so he agreed.

When Wei Bin and his team set out, it was almost dark and it began to rain again, and the rain got heavier and heavier. By the time they arrived at the camp where Zhang Weiguo's team was stationed, it was already completely dark.

Zhang Weiguo looked at Wei Bin and the other three people as if he had seen a ghost: "Where did you come from?"

Wei Bin was the deputy battalion commander, so he didn't waste time talking to him and immediately asked him to arrange boats and people to rescue people overnight.

However, the rain got heavier and heavier, and later there were thunder and lightning, and it turned into a heavy rain similar to the night when the dam burst.

Wei Bin personally rowed the boat for several attempts, but was forced back each time due to heavy wind and rain.

Even though he was extremely anxious, ordering everyone to rescue people without hesitation would be like sending them to their deaths.

Wei Bin was so angry that he slapped himself a few times, but he just watched helplessly, unable to do anything!

If this heavy rain continues for another night, I’m afraid that little hill will be flooded again!

This time, the people trapped on the mountain no longer had the strength to climb up the tree like they had in the previous few days!

On the mountain, the trapped people tried their best to hide under a big rock, but even so, everyone was soaked by the heavy rain.

Li Zhan took off his coat and wrapped it around Xia Juanjuan's head and body - but it was of no use.

He still held Xia Juanjuan tightly in his arms, feeling a little annoyed. He should have insisted on letting Juanjuan return by boat in the evening!

Xia Juanjuan watched the water level rising little by little and began to panic.

If the rain really continued and this place was flooded again, she could at most take Li Zhan and escape into the space to survive. She couldn't care about other people.

But the question is...can she bring Li Zhan into space?

The first time, when her wound was infected after a fierce battle and she was in danger, he inexplicably broke into her space and teleported her to that unknown barren mountain.

But when she was on the barren mountain, she actually tried to bring Lizhan into her own space, but failed.

Later attempts, animals and wolves were brought into the space without difficulty. Grandma Yao and the triplets were also successful.

But Xiaowen, she failed.

So...she still hasn't figured out how this space determines who can be brought in and who can't.

What if I don't succeed during the battle? What should I do?

The rainstorm showed no sign of stopping and the water level was rising rapidly, visibly.

Lizhan and other brothers began to help everyone climb the tree again.

However, I don’t know if we will be so lucky this time and whether the trees on the top of the mountain will still not be submerged by the flood!

Moreover, even if they were lucky enough not to be drowned, it was still unknown whether they could survive the night with just a little food.

Xia Juanjuan was extremely anxious, so she pulled Li Zhan aside.

Li Zhan looked at her with some guilt and said, "Juanjuan, if you have anything to say, wait a while. I need to help everyone climb up the tree first..."

Xia Juanjuan didn't say much. She held Li Zhan's hand tightly, pressed the birthmark on her wrist, and thought about entering the space in her heart.
