It was already noon, and it was only half a day's journey to the crossing bank of the Xiangjiang River.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A burst of gunfire suddenly rang out, and Zhou Yue was suddenly startled.

The gunshots sounded far away, probably the soldiers at the back of the main force exchanging fire with the enemy.

Amid the chaotic gunfire, the troops advanced faster. It was not wise to engage in a bloody battle with the enemy at this time. They had to break out of the enemy's encirclement as soon as possible.

Before, the soldiers were walking fast, but now they are jogging, carrying bags weighing dozens of kilograms on their backs.

Zhou Yue felt the pain, her expression became more and more ferocious, and she felt that her strength was really running out.

During this high-intensity march, few soldiers fell behind due to exhaustion, which should be related to the increase in health values.

During previous Long Marches, soldiers often fell behind due to exhaustion and injuries.

As a result, they did not participate in the entire Long March, which made them feel very regretful.

Zhou Yue suddenly noticed that a female soldier in front of her, Li Suzhen, had blood on the back of her pants.

There were blood stains on the blue pants. Although not much, it was very eye-catching.

Zhou Yue came to her side and whispered in her ear.

"Sister Suzhen, are you having your period?"

Li Suzhen was carrying a lot of weight on her body, her face was pale, and she was holding her waist with her hands, breathing hard from exhaustion.

After hearing Zhou Yue's words, she shook her head with difficulty, "I'm not having my period."

"Then why is there blood on the back of your pants?"

Li Suzhen touched back and saw bright red blood on her hands.

A trace of pain flashed in her eyes, her eye sockets turned red instantly, a line of tears rolled down, and her jogging steps stopped immediately.

"Suzhen? What's wrong with you?"

A male soldier ran over from the team behind and held her.

Zhou Yue knew from the scene that they should be husband and wife.

A large number of the female soldiers in the team were couples. During the Long March, some female soldiers did not want to stay in the base and also joined the Long March.

Li Suzhen clenched her hands tightly, as if she was suppressing the pain in her heart, and her voice choked several times.

"Shi, Shitou, I'm afraid we can't save our child..."

child? !

Zhou Yue's heart skipped a beat. She thought Sister Suzhen was having her period, but it seemed like these were symptoms of threatened miscarriage.

She had been here for so long, but she had never noticed that Sister Suzhen was pregnant.

Li Suzhen is not tall and looks like she weighs less than 100 pounds.

She is introverted and doesn't like to talk, but she will always help when there is a need.

Lin Xiuhua also saw the commotion here, walked over and took off Li Suzhen's luggage without saying a word.

"You're already more than four months pregnant, why are you still carrying such a heavy load?"

More than four months?

Zhou Yue couldn't see anything at all, her belly wasn't too bulging, it was probably because the mother wasn't getting enough nutrition and the fetus was developing slowly.

The male soldier, with an anxious look on his face, squatted down and said, "Suzhen, come on up and I'll carry you!"

"No, no, I can still walk."

Li Suzhen naturally refused. After all, he was already carrying dozens of kilograms of weight on his back. How could he bear to carry someone on his back for such a long distance?

The male soldier was so anxious that his palms were sweating. "Can we rest here first and catch up with the main force later?"

Instructor Liu Yaowen saw that something was wrong and hurried over to inquire about the situation.

After knowing the reason, he frowned deeply.

If it were in the past, we could stop and rest for a while before catching up with the main force.

But now there are enemy troops chasing us from behind, the road has become flatter, and it is difficult to hide if we don't enter the dense forest.

At this time he saw a mule carrying a heavy load in front of him.

"Everybody, take the baggage off the mules!"

At the instructor's command, the heavy objects on the mule were removed.

These several hundred kilograms of stuff were very important supplies and of course could not be thrown away, so they were dispersed among the bags of many soldiers.

Fortunately, there were many people and the weight was not increased too much.

Then they helped Li Suzhen onto the mule and everyone continued to move forward quickly.

During the Long March, it was difficult for female soldiers, and it was even more difficult for pregnant female soldiers!

Li Suzhen was already pregnant when she was in the base, but she was still willing to follow the Red Army on the Long March.

They hiked dozens of kilometers together every day, carried heavy objects to help with work, and did not get any preferential treatment for themselves.

[Tongzi! Is there any medicine to preserve the pregnancy? ]

Zhou Yue was jogging while carrying the luggage and communicating with the system through her mind.

[Yes! Powerful pregnancy-preserving medicine, priced at 688 points! ]

【I buy it! 】

The next second, a lot of pills appeared in her hand, and she put them into the kettle filled with water.

He came to the pale-faced Sister Suzhen, raised the kettle and handed it to her.

"Sister Suzhen, I mixed some sugar water for you to drink."

"Thank you, thank you."

Li Suzhen took it and just took a sip, she felt something was wrong.

Isn't it sugar water? Why is it not sweet at all, and has a strong bitter taste, like medicine.

She moved her lips slightly and was about to ask something when she met Zhou Yue's determined gaze.

"Sister Suzhen, drink up all the water in this bottle. You will definitely get better!"

Li Suzhen was stunned for a moment, nodded and a smile appeared at the corner of her lips.

"Okay, thank you."

In fact, Zhou Yue felt a little conflicted when she did this, because the bitter taste of the medicine could not be suppressed by sugar.

This means that she was exposed in front of Sister Suzhen, but she finally decided to do it.

If there is no pregnancy-preserving medicine, the baby in the belly will definitely not be saved. This is a life!

Moreover, he is the child of a revolutionary predecessor, so she absolutely cannot stand idly by.

She believed that even if Sister Suzhen knew, she would not tell anyone else, and she would know her good intentions.

Amid bursts of gunfire, the sun gradually set, and the sunset glow in the sky seemed to be dyed red by blood.

The team that Chief Liu was in was the first to arrive at the Xiangjiang River crossing port. He was about to direct everyone to build a pontoon bridge across the Xiangjiang River.

The scene by the river shocked and surprised him!
