The military wife is pregnant and the tycoon, who has no heir, spoils her rotten.

Chapter 160 People from the Mountain Came Down to Take Refuge

Xia Zhi suddenly remembered something and quickly ran out again, looking at the mountain where Piqiu and Tuanzi were.

"Xiaxia, what are you doing here?"

Lu Beiting saw her and quickly walked over.

"Beiting, I'm worried about Piqiu and Tuanzi. I don't know how things are up on the mountain now."

"They'll be alright. I'll go up the mountain to check on them once the rain stops."

Seeing that she was dressed very warmly, Lu Beiting felt a little relieved.

After daybreak, the shed was finally erected, and a large fire was lit in the middle. People gathered around the fire to keep warm, adding a touch of warmth to the bleak, cold wind.

Xia Zhi walked out of the military base and looked up at the mountain. The gloomy sky and the pouring rain made it feel particularly oppressive.

She squinted to look, but still couldn't see clearly, and in her anxiety she spun around in circles.

Lu Beiting walked to her side, rubbed his hands together, and then took her small hand in his.

"Why don't you shout a couple of times and see if you can call them down and make them hide?"

"Is the loudspeaker not broken?" Xia Zhi turned to look at him.

Upon hearing this, Lu Beiting sighed, "Oh no, the rain is too heavy and it has knocked down the stakes connecting the lines, causing poor contact."

After I finished, I patted her on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, I'll call for help."

Lu Beiting put on his hat and went to a safe spot at the foot of the mountain, looking up at the mountain and shouting loudly.

"Ball, dumpling!"

Lu Beiting called out repeatedly, unsure if those above could hear him.

After calling out several times without getting a response, Lu Beiting turned around helplessly.

The moment I turned around, I felt a sudden weight on my shoulder.

He turned his head with delight, and sure enough, it was a ball, but the wet fur had some bloodstains.

Lu Beiting quickly picked it up and walked towards Xia Zhi.

"Xiaxia, the ball looks injured."

Xia Zhi's heart jumped when she heard this, and she quickly checked the ball in his arms.

"Phew...no, it must be from other animals."

Xia Zhi looked at the ball and said, "If it's not safe on the mountain, bring your friends down and call Tuanzi too."

After scratching its head, the ball jumped out of Lu Beiting's arms, then leaped onto a tree and began to bark, its voice sharp and piercing.

This was the first time Xia Zhi had ever heard a ball make a squeak.

The soldiers heard the commotion and rushed out.

"Battalion Commander, what happened?"

"It's alright, let those on the mountain come down and take shelter too," Lu Beiting said expressionlessly.

The people who came out gaped in surprise. "We're from the mountain, come down and take shelter?"
A few minutes later, a commotion came from the mountain. Xia Zhi immediately spotted Tuanzi ahead, covered in dirt from running around.

After seeing what was in its mouth, Xia Zhi couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Pfft, they didn't forget to bring food even when they were fleeing."

After Tuanzi came in front of her, it rubbed against her affectionately.

"Giant pandas! We actually have giant pandas here! Oh my god!"

Qin Beishan exclaimed in surprise.

What surprised them even more was yet to come.

Despite being a group of beasts that couldn't understand human speech, they were now obediently squatting in front of Xia Zhi.

Their battalion commander was even holding a monkey that was as fat as a ball in his arms.

This……

Qin Beishan rubbed his eyes and curiously took two steps forward, only to be greeted with a breathy warning the next second.

Then he stopped in his tracks, too afraid to go any further.

To avoid causing panic, Lu Beiting led his men to set up a shed outside the military base.

Xia Zhi led the little ones inside.

"Go ahead and do your work. I'll stay here with you. I won't hurt anyone."

Xia Zhi looked at the little ones who had already started sleeping by the fire, and her gaze softened.

"Okay, I'll have Zhang Yi stay here with you. Call me anytime if you need anything." "Zhang Yi, you stay here and don't let anyone get close."

Zhang Yi's eyes lit up. "Roger that! Mission accomplished!"

Seeing his cheerful expression, Lu Beiting looked away with disdain and turned back to his unit.

As soon as Lu Beiting left, Zhang Yi buzzed around Xia Zhi like a little bee, asking her all sorts of questions.

"Sister-in-law, these animals seem to listen to you."

"Sister-in-law, what method did you use to make them so obedient?"

"Sister-in-law, how come we didn't see this giant panda before? It's hiding really well."

Xia Zhi twitched the corner of her mouth. "You're being long-winded."

Zhang Yi quickly shut his mouth and touched the tip of his nose.

Tuanzi curled up in a ball beside Xia Zhi. After the ball's fur dried, it jumped onto the ball and rested its head on her shoulder.

Seeing this harmonious and heartwarming scene, Zhang Yi was completely charmed.

"Sister-in-law, may I touch you?"

He looked at the ball's fluffy head and felt an urge to grab it.

Xia Zhi didn't speak, but turned her head to look at the ball next to her.

The ball tilted its head and then stood proudly in Zhang Yi's arms.

"Thank you, thank you." Zhang Yi hurriedly touched it, and the feel was indeed even better than he had expected.

I couldn't resist touching it a few more times.

In the end, the ball got impatient with being touched and jumped away on its own.

Zhang Yi looked at Xia Zhi with envy as he saw that his arms were empty.

"Sister-in-law, you're amazing!"

Upon learning that small animals had arrived outside, many people curiously peeked inside, but the guards at the gate were tight and wouldn't let them out without orders.

Xia Zhi sat by the fire and soon felt sleepy, but she didn't dare to fall asleep.

I'm afraid something bad will happen.

Zhang Yi stood up straight and said seriously, "Sister-in-law, you go to sleep. I'll keep watch."

Xia Zhi looked at him, then had no choice but to lie on her side on Tuanzi and sleep for a while.

Lu Beiting rushed over after finishing his work. Seeing that everyone except Zhang Yi was asleep, he couldn't help but tread lightly.

When she walked to Xia Zhi's side, the sleeping Tuanzi opened her eyes briefly, then closed them again.

Lu Beiting added some firewood to the fire.

As soon as Xia Zhi opened her eyes, she saw Lu Beiting beside her and got up to snuggle into his arms.

Lu Beiting held her close, and seeing her dazed state, his heart softened.

What are you going to feed them?

Lu Beiting looked at the little ones around him who had already been woken up.

It might be a bit difficult to actually feed them.

"It's alright, let's check the situation first." Xia Zhi shook her head. The mountain road was blocked, and they didn't have that much food stored up.

The ball next to it chirped a few times, then led the monkey and jumped around.

He came back after a while, bringing a bunch of wild fruits, as if to tell her that she didn't need to worry about their food at all.

The heavy rain continued for three more days.

The trees on the mountain are leaning, and some have fallen.

"Battalion Commander, if this continues, we won't have enough food. There have been several mudslides in the surrounding area."

Lu Beiting stood outside the tent. "Has the commander requested backup?"

"We invited them, but the only way in is blocked."

Lu Beiting looked at the gradually subsiding rain, took a deep breath, and said, "Call the brothers to clear the way."

Meanwhile, Huo Cheng and his men, who had come to provide support, were also in a bad situation.

The road ahead was completely blocked, and to make matters worse, their car was stuck in the mud.

The muddy ground was slippery; even towing a truck would slip and fall twice, and walking was a problem, let alone towing a truck.
