Help!There are monsters in this pawnshop

Chapter 38 Evacuation
"Before I come back, you should solve the problem yourself, and explain everything you have to say—"

Zhu Xiaozhou started to pack his things, preparing to embark on this "time and space travel" alone.

But she was not worried about the two guys who were left behind——

"Also, don't go crazy anymore! Whoever smashes my shop again, I will kick him out, you hear me!"

Seeing that they have no objection, I feel relieved
By night.

Opening the door, they disappeared into the sound of gunfire only they could hear.

Time is imprisoned in the memory, but it has obtained eternity.

Zhu Xiaozhou returned to the time memory sealed by Liuli Ping'an button. This time, she came here alone as Qiyun's master.

But before she could gain a firm foothold, she was bombarded by a series of firepower——

I was stunned.

I can't tell the east, west, north, south, and there are ruins all around.Burning old houses with broken yards, and destroyed villages are filled with thick smoke and the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke.

Zhu Xiaozhou ran for his life with the villagers, took out a handkerchief to cover his mouth and nose, to relieve the inhalation of the thick smoke——

Cough until you can't breathe.

Finding some water has become a luxury, and I dare not stop at all.

Perhaps those who were desperately escaping at this moment never thought that the devil's army would come so quickly!

Catch them off guard!
Seven or eight small soldiers of the Eighth Route Army took advantage of the terrain and started a guerrilla attack with the devil brigade, and opened up a battle line about 300 meters west of the village.

From time to time, a burst of gunfire will be heard.

They failed to lobby the villagers to abandon the village and transfer, and the stubbornness of the villagers to guard their homes delayed the opportunity to evacuate.Now that the enemy is calling, he realizes the danger.

It was still those little soldiers who desperately opened the distance between the firepower point and the common people to fight for the opportunity for everyone to evacuate.

"Let's go! Let's go!"

A familiar voice came.

Zhu Xiaozhou raised his head, as expected——

I saw Xiao Xia who originally existed in this time.

She was wearing a military uniform and was helping civilians evacuate.Anxiously watching the battle situation in the west, asking if there is anyone left behind
Where did Zhu Xiaozhou suffer from the war? She was choked to tears, squinted her eyes, and followed the vague figures of her fellow villagers to avoid attacks.

From time to time, shells flew by, blowing up the dusty houses along the way!
Xiaoxia rushed over and protected the two young children under her body. When the sound of the cannon came, she pulled them and told them to follow the others and move forward quickly.

Zhu Xiaozhou coughed so badly that he wanted to spit out his lungs.Even if you try to adjust your breathing, try to avoid letting yourself inhale the smoke.But the pervasive dust is simply suffocating.

The splashed sand and stones collapsed on the face and body, causing pain!

There was no way to stop and observe where the gun barrel was mounted.

I just feel that the artillery fire is coming from all directions, and there is no escape.

If Xiaoxia hadn't patiently directed the evacuation, a group of people would be running around like headless chickens with their heads in their arms.

Zhu Xiaozhou's eyes darkened, and the moment she almost fell down——

Xiao Xia rushed up and supported her up.

"...don't give up!" Xiao Xia shouted hoarsely, "everyone...don't give up! We must persevere! One day, we will come back!"

Looking at the burned home, his eyes were filled with tears and his voice was hoarse.

She used her thin shoulders to support most of Zhu Xiaozhou's body, and walked forward with difficulty, leading everyone to evacuate from the village to the back mountain to escape.

Zhu Xiaozhou only felt a sharp pain in his back shoulder, and then lost consciousness.

When she woke up, she was already lying in the dark cave, and she couldn't even remember how she got here.

Beside him are all the villagers who are leaning against the cave and huddled together.

Everyone is depressed because of the loss of their homes.

From time to time, small sobs could be heard from the crowd.

How to live in the future has become the most critical issue right now.

The homeland where I lived since I was a child was baptized by artillery fire, and it was destroyed in one fell swoop, and everything I had to eat, wear and live in was gone.Everything has to start all over again. If it can start all over again.

A young woman just lost her husband, holding a pair of young children, sitting in a corner in a daze.

There were no tears in her eyes, only despair for tomorrow.

The little soldiers who had just retired from the battlefield were also resting, more or less injured.

There was an unspeakable smell in the cave, the smell of earth mixed with the smell of blood and gunpowder smoke.

Zhu Xiaozhou saw Zhang Daniu at the entrance of the cave.

I opened my mouth, but no sound came out
"Don't be sad, everyone, as long as we are all here, sooner or later our homeland will be rebuilt!"

Xiao Xia stood up and encouraged everyone, "No matter how difficult it is now, we must live on! Take back our land, our homeland!"

But everyone has just escaped from death, and seeing their homes destroyed, they have no confidence.

How can I still listen to her words.

Xiaoxia couldn't hide her disappointment, and turned her head to look at Zhang Daniu.

Zhang Daniu was dirty all over.

The Eighth Route Army uniform on his body was also in tatters.

A white cloth instead of a bandage was wrapped around his arm, with bright red blood stains on it, and it seemed that the injury was not serious.

Even in such embarrassment, those piercing eyes were still full of hope.

Xiao Xia was encouraged and cheered up again. "Don't worry, everyone, we will definitely win! In the future, our children and grandchildren will still be able to run freely on this land! At that time, we must tell them everything we have done now! Tell them to be strong and to brave!."

At the most desperate time, Xiao Xia's words gave many people the confidence to persevere.

will surely win—

Xiaoxia noticed that Zhu Xiaozhou who was lying on the ground moved, and immediately ran over and held her down.

He asked anxiously, "Don't move around, you are injured - you were hit by fragments of stray bullets, and there is no way to take them out now. Just bear with me, and I will help you take out the fragments when it is safe. There will be no dangerous!"

She spoke sincerely, with a look full of enthusiasm.

It turned out that she was hit by fragments of a stray bullet. No wonder, she passed out as soon as her eyes went dark.

Now I can't even move, and I'm struggling weakly.

The devil's sweep was in vain, and he probably guessed that these old, weak, sick and disabled could not go far, so they searched nearby.

The terrain of the back mountain is steep, the entrance of the cave is hidden, and the universe is hidden inside.

Looking from the foot of the mountain, it is completely unimaginable that so many people can be hidden in the halfway up the mountain, which is almost straight up and down.

Everyone was trapped in the cave for three full days.

Zhang Daniu and Xiao Xia had already taken out their last rations and distributed them to the villagers.They themselves suffered for three days.He was very hungry, so he grabbed a handful of weeds from the cave and stuffed them into his mouth, mixed them with soil, chewed and swallowed them.

The water droplets seeping from the cave became the only water source for everyone.

Even so, everyone was too hungry.That little ration barely lasted for a day and a half, and twenty or thirty people waited for the muddy water drops in the cave——

One drop or two drops will not solve the problem at all.

In the confined space, no one dared to make a sound.

Such an environment almost drives people crazy.

There are a few children who are crying because of hunger.

The adults had no choice but to coax the children and calm their emotions.

"...Be patient, be patient, go out, and mother will eat the buns."

What do three- and four-year-olds know.

Hungry, flustered, crying non-stop.

After a while, other people's dissatisfaction was attracted, for fear that the child's crying would attract the devils.

Zhu Xiaozhou woke up again, heard their movements, and looked at Xiaoxia who had been standing by her side—observing her injury.

Stretching out her hand to fumble for her satchel, she took out the last few lollipops left, and stuffed them into Xiao Xia's hand with a sigh of relief.
