The White Snake

Li Fan thought to himself, what is she doing for you? It is obviously for money, but he dare not say this, so he can only nod in agreement.

Seeing Li Fan so obedient, Xiuhua couldn't help laughing.

Seeing her smile, Li Fan also became bolder, reaching out and slowly touching her body.

Xiuhua pressed his hand again, but her hand was so weak that Li Fan's hand penetrated her clothes and slowly touched it.

The little embroidered face was flushed, she was too ashamed to look at him, buried her head on his shoulder, and let him belittle herself.

Suddenly, Li Fan touched her, and his embroidered body trembled in shock. After a while, a mosquito-like voice came out of his mouth: "Brother Li Fan, don't do this."

Although she said that, she didn't mean to resist at all.

Li Fan whispered in her ear: "Xiuhua, have you heard of 'Shu Zhen'?"

"Ah!" Hearing this, Xiuhua was so shocked that her face turned red, and she couldn't help exclaiming.

Girls mature early. Although she doesn't understand what these two words mean, she can guess it. It must be something embarrassing.

Just when Li Fan was warming up for 'Shu Zhen', he suddenly heard shouts in the distance, and the two of them were stunned, especially the embroidery, and hurriedly pushed away Li Fan's hand and straightened his clothes. The agility on the ground is faster than her pulling weeds.

Immediately afterwards, I saw a boat rowing towards this side. At this time, the rain had lightened, but it was still falling, so the visibility was much higher.

"We are here, we are here—." Xiuhua hurriedly responded loudly.

Li Fan also saw that the six sitting on the bow, he cursed inwardly, you wouldn't be two hours late, otherwise, the uncooked rice would have been cooked.

But now it was useless to scold, the boat was under the big tree, Li Fan let the embroidery go down first, and then slowly got down from the tree and got on the boat.

I saw that the boat was badly damaged, but fortunately there was no leak.

"Li Fan, let's come quickly!" The six sons even asked Li Fan for credit.

Li Fan rolled his eyes at him angrily: "Hurry up, you only come here when it's almost dark."

"Oh! This is already fast, and now the flood has risen, and we can't find the road sign at all." Liu Zi hurriedly explained: "Thanks to the fact that we saw a loach in the water, we followed that loach to find this place. "

"Fart, what loach, it's obviously a snake." Another person retorted.

"No matter what it is, it's what led us here anyway." Liu Zi said with a smile.

Hearing the snake, Li Fan's heart moved. Could it be that little white snake? .

However, he didn't see it and was not sure, so they rowed to the dam with doubts.

On the boat, the six sons told Li Fan that Mrs. Su borrowed this boat from the people nearby. Thanks to her old man's face, if it was someone else, they would not borrow it at all.

Li Fan thought to himself, Aunt Su is really good, just because she saved Aunt Xiao'e, she helped him so much.

Chapter 40

When they came to the dam, they saw that the dam was full of people. Seeing Li Fan's return, many people came up to welcome him.

Some people came to thank Li Fan, because if it wasn't for Li Fan, they would have been drowned by the flood.

The same goes for the village head and Su Dakang. If it weren't for Li Fan's persuasive persuasion, the entire Xiahe Village would have suffered catastrophe.

Seeing Li Fan go ashore, the villagers shook hands with Li Fan enthusiastically, and some said: "Li Fan, thank you, I don't want to say anything, I will treat you to a drink later."

Some also said: "Li Fan, I brought my family to thank you. If it weren't for you, my daughter-in-law and child, who are not yet full moon, would definitely be in danger of escaping.

"------"

They said everything for a while, and some people didn't let go of Li Fan's hand.

"Xiaofan, where is Xiaofan—" At this moment, Aunt Su was supported by someone, and she stumbled over.

When Li Fan saw Mrs. Su coming, he hurried up to greet him: "Mother, you are so old, why did you come to see me? I should go to see you. If it wasn't for you, I'm afraid—"

"Silly boy, you saved the lives of the whole village, so it's right for you to help me." Aunt Su said with a smile.

At this time, Widow Zhang also came over. Seeing that Xiuhua was fine, the two mothers cried in each other's arms. Widow Zhang blamed herself and felt that she could not save her daughter, while Xiuhua felt that she almost lost sight of her mother.

Li Fan chatted with everyone for a long time before everyone left.

Now Li Fan is the captain of the fifth team and also the captain of the flood rescue team. Even if the village chief doesn't regard him as a cadre, this kid himself regards himself as a cadre.

He had just returned from his near death, and he should have taken a rest, but his six sons led him to look around the dam, and saw that the dam was full of people, crying, and making noises.

Because there are not only people who go down the river, but also people from other villages. Some people quarreled because they occupied a space, and some even fought.

The village head and the secretary of the village committee did nothing else but persuaded the fight.

Li Fan looked around, and he found that there were old people and children in these crowds. It was raining so heavily, and they would definitely get sick if they were drenched like this.

It seems that it is necessary to build a temporary house for these women and the elderly, even if it can shelter some wind and rain.

It's already dark now, no matter how fast the National Rescue Team is, they still have to wait until tomorrow morning to arrive. How to get through this night is a problem.

Moreover, it has been a day, and many people have not eaten. The young people are okay, but the old people and children may not be able to survive until dawn.

Li Fan immediately went to the village chief to discuss the matter with Su Dakang, and the village chief gritted his teeth after hearing this.

"Li Fan, pretend I don't want to." The village chief said with a troubled face: "There is nothing here, how do you want me to build a house for them?"

"That's right, Li Fan, there isn't even a handful of rice here, how can you ask me to cook for them?" Su Dakang also said.

"I know there is no way, but we have to find a way. We can't just watch the big guys suffer from cold and starvation, right?" Li Fan said seriously.

"Tsk, why don't you just sit there, there's nothing you can do about it." Accountant Gao shrugged helplessly and said, "Besides, you are the captain of the flood relief team, so this matter is up to you."

Gao Quanbao is worthy of being a village accountant, he knows how to settle accounts, and he is also smart. In a few words, he put everything on Li Fan.

When the village chief heard this, he nodded again and again: "Yes, Li Fan, this matter is up to you. I don't think you need to discuss it with me. You can do it yourself. I still say that, the labor force in the village is at your disposal. .”

After finishing speaking, the village head left first, he was afraid that Li Fan would pester him again.

Immediately afterwards, Su Dakang, the secretary of the village committee, and the village accountant also found an opportunity to slip away, and Li Fan scratched his head in anger.

He cursed secretly in his heart, what kind of fucking village cadre is this?

Li Fan thought to himself, since you don't care, then I will.

"Sixth son, you immediately call all the strong laborers in the village to come to me for a meeting. I have something to do for them." Li Fan pinched his waist with one hand and put one leg on the stone next to him. He really looked like the captain of the martial arts team in the movie. .

The six sons had heard that Li Fan had been promoted to captain, otherwise they wouldn't have followed him like a follower.

"Understood, I'm going to recruit people now." The six sons agreed and went.

There was not much time, and more than 20 people were really recruited. Li Fan saw that the number of people who came was not enough. It is impossible that there are only so few strong laborers left in the village.

When he asked the six sons, he realized that many people were unwilling to come, and some people didn't even recognize him as the captain of the flood rescue team.

Li Fan thought to himself, since they don't want to come, forget it, this kind of thing cannot be forced.

Li Fan immediately divided the work among the big guys. Ten people went to cut trees, ten people built a shed, and the rest went to find materials, hay, etc., as long as they brought everything that could shelter the rain.

Li Fan and the six sons went to look for rice noodles. Li Fan knew that there were a few families walking west along the dam for more than a dozen miles. If they said something nice, they should be able to borrow rice noodles.

But the road ahead is too difficult to walk, and if you are not careful, you will slip off the dam, so no one dares to cross it. If Li Fan didn't see those children waiting to be fed, he would not go.

Moreover, Li Fan already felt that he didn't have much strength. He didn't eat for a day and ran for a day. It's no wonder he wasn't tired, but he still insisted on going.

The two walked westward along the dam. Liu Zi was quite smart, and he brought a rope. He was afraid that if someone fell, he could use the rope to pull him up.

The two walked for more than ten miles with difficulty, and they saw a few houses in front of them, but when they got closer, they saw that there was also a flood here, but the terrain here was relatively high, and the water was only waist deep.

But no one knew whether the flood would suddenly rise. Li Fan asked his six sons to wait on the dam, tied the rope around his waist, and walked down.

When I came to this family, I saw that there was no one in the house, but there were rice and noodle jars. When I opened it, I saw that there were rice noodles inside.

Li Fan didn't care about that much anymore. He found a bag and put it in. The rice can be put in whatever you want, and you can eat it when it's wet. The noodles are different. If the noodles are wet, you can't eat them. It took him a long time. I found another piece of plastic cloth and put it in the bag, but I didn't know if it would work or not, so I made another half bag of noodles.

After finishing, he handed these to the sixth son, but felt that it was not enough, so he went to another house, but there was nothing in this house.

At this time, Li Fan felt like turning over corpses on the battlefield, and he worked harder and harder.

"Li Fan, come back if you can't do it. If the flood rises, it will be dangerous." Liu Zi stood on the embankment and shouted worriedly.

Chapter 41

"It's okay, I'll find another house." Li Fan said, and went into another house, found half a bag of rice in this house, turned around and was about to leave, when he suddenly heard some movement inside the house, which startled him , I thought, is there anyone else in the house? .

He took a picture with the flashlight, and suddenly, he saw a girl sitting in a corner of a pit, she looked about ten years old, holding a box in her arms, with a frightened expression on her face.

Li Fan thought to himself, why is there someone else in the house? The adults in this family are too careless, they just run away and forget the children at home.

"Little sister, don't be afraid, uncle is a good man, what about your adults?" Li Fan asked softly.After asking, I felt that something was wrong, and I called her little sister, why did I call myself uncle again? This is not a mess.

I saw the little girl looking at him in fear, without saying a word, as if Li Fan was a thief or a robber.

No, it's no wonder that this kid is not afraid of others as soon as he comes in and grabs his rice noodles.

"Little sister, don't be afraid, the flood is about to submerge this place, you can't be at home anymore, can you go with your brother?" Li Fan asked softly again.

"Li Fan, Li Fan come out quickly, come out quickly—" At this moment, the six sons shouted anxiously from outside.

Li Fan didn't know well. Either the flood was coming, or something happened outside. Before he had time to think about it, he picked up the little girl and hurried out.

I don't know if the little girl was scared, or what happened, Li Fan hugged her, but she didn't say a word.

As soon as Li Fan ran out of the door, he saw a wave of water rushing towards him. Li Fan couldn't stand still and fell into the water, and the girl also fell into the water.

The six sons on the embankment saw it and hurried down to help.

"Li Fan, come up quickly, the flood has risen again." Liu Zi said, taking the rice bag in his hand.

Li Fan hugged his little daughter and hurried up to the embankment. Just as they went up, they saw a "wow" sound of water rushing into the little girl's house, submerging the roof of her house in the blink of an eye.

If Li Fan and the others came out one minute later, they might not be able to come out again. The little girl looked at the flood below and was terrified.

But at this time, they did not dare to delay, and had to go back as soon as possible. The villagers were still waiting for the rice noodles to be cooked.

Li Fan carried the girl on his shoulders, and picked up half a bag of rice in front of him.

The six sons carried half a bag of rice and half a bag of noodles and followed behind, but at this moment, several lightning bolts suddenly flashed, and there seemed to be a black shadow floating in the air in the lightning.

But at this moment, they ran away in such a hurry that they didn't have time to take a closer look.

The little girl glanced into the air, then lowered her head in fright, and hugged Li Fan's neck tightly.

Because she saw that there seemed to be a face in the sky and looked down, maybe she didn't see it clearly, or maybe it was a shape formed by clouds.

At the same time, there was a wind blowing around, and there was an unpleasant fishy smell in the wind, which made people feel like retching.

Two people, no, it was three people. The three of them ran across the embankment holding back their nausea. After a lot of effort, they finally came back.

Seeing Li Fan's return, the villagers rushed to greet him. Seeing that Li Fan had really brought rice noodles, they scrambled to help.

Li Fan was exhausted, and left all these things to the six sons. After he cooked the porridge, he would drink it for the elderly and children first, and then distribute it to the young people.

Li Fan sat on the ground and rested for less than 5 minutes, only to see Su Dakang running over in a panic.

"Li Fan, you're back, I'm looking for you."

"Uncle, are you looking for me? What are you looking for?" Since Su Dakang was also a cunning person, Li Fan didn't like dealing with him either.

But Su Dakang didn't care about this, and said anxiously: "It's like this. My second girl is sick and has a high fever. Doctor Liu has seen it just now, but he has no medicine, so there is no way. Didn't you save Yue Xiaoe? You show Er Niu."

After hearing this, Li Fan complained secretly, thinking to himself, I don't know any medical skills, it's all thanks to the little white snake that I saved Yue Xiao'e, but he couldn't tell the truth.

"Uncle! This is at best detoxifying the snake's venom, and I don't know anything else." Li Fan said awkwardly.

"Could it be, why don't you go there and have a look before we talk." As he spoke, he dragged Li Fan away without waiting for Li Fan's consent.

When he came to his daughter's side to have a look, Er Niu's face was flushed with fever, and he touched her forehead with his hand, and it was hot.

Now Li Fan is also in a dilemma, because he doesn't know medical skills at all.

"Uncle, how about using a hot towel?" Li Fan knew that anyone with a fever would use a hot towel if they had no medicine.

Su Dakang shook his head and said: "I've tried everything, but it doesn't work. Moreover, there is not enough firewood now. Many people have a fever, and they are also boiling water to apply towels."

This made Li Fan feel very strange, how could so many people get sick all at once? He couldn't help here, so he looked around, and sure enough, he saw that many people fell ill, and most of them had a fever.

However, he didn't pay much attention to it. The sudden flood and the rain for two more days made it normal to have a cold and fever. The only way now is to find medicine as soon as possible, but where to find medicine at night.

Fortunately, the porridge is ready for this meeting, and I shared some porridge with everyone. Because there are patients, let the patients drink first. I hope everyone can persist until dawn.

Because he was too tired, Li Fan found a place and went to rest. In fact, he couldn't sleep because it was still raining, and the rain dripped on him, making him shiver with cold.

The little girl was rescued, and Li Fan arranged for her to live in a shed with other children.

When he was looking for rice noodles, he also arranged for a few people to temporarily build some sheds. Those people did a good job. Although the sheds looked a little rough and leaked, it was better than being outside.
