Chapter 38 : Unrivaled Luck

Su Ranran also felt very strange.

The snails were clearly behind the stone, and they could be seen by digging up the stone, but it seemed that none of the children could think of it.

She didn’t think they were stupid and didn’t know how to turn over the stone.

The only explanation was that the problem was with herself. Thinking of the seemingly endless snails yesterday, Su Ranran shuddered for no reason. After touching a handful of snails again, she stopped.

The children watching were very disappointed when they saw that she didn’t touch any more.

“Sister, can you touch a few more?” a dark-skinned child asked her excitedly.

Hearing this, Su Ranran had to pretend to turn over the stone, and when the water became turbid, she placed the snails into the space.

Then, she said to the disappointed children, “No more, I can’t find any.”

But the children didn’t want to leave and asked her to continue.

Su Ranran had to move a few more stones in the same way, and when she couldn’t find any more, the children left, disappointed.

The stream, which had been bustling just moments ago, soon only had Su Ranran and Xiao Doudou left.

Looking at the snails just caught in the bucket, Su Ranran suddenly remembered Li Xueqiu’s incredible luck when she first got the space.

It stands to reason that with her luck, her business should have been smooth sailing, but why did she spend so much effort to become the richest person in the end? She wasn’t even as lucky as Yu Zhengjun in his first life.

Su Ranran was puzzled, but she inexplicably felt awe for such good luck.

There’s no free lunch in the world.

Such an unexpected change of luck calmed Su Ranran’s previously somewhat unsettled heart.

Thinking of this, she decided not to continue catching snails. Picking up the snails, which weighed only about two pounds today, she left the stream with Xiao Doudou.

In the fields, the villagers were harvesting rice as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

The tall figure of Shen He was also moving through the crowd, carrying straw.

Seeing him, Su Ranran suddenly remembered the scene of him pouring water for her before he left.

Although he didn’t say anything, now thinking back, it seemed he had realized that the water he gave her wasn’t right, but he didn’t want her to continue using the space water.

Thinking of this, Su Ranran’s mind, which had been overwhelmed by the space, suddenly cleared up. She shouldn’t use the space so carelessly!

Otherwise, what was the difference between her and Li Xueqiu?

After making up her mind, Su Ranran stopped using the spring water from the space. She only ate one space fruit every night and spent the rest of her time buried in books.

You don’t know until you see it, and once you do, it’s shocking!

The agricultural technology in the books included everything from ancient times to the future. And hybrid rice was already the most basic technology in the collection. Various techniques like saline-alkali rice cultivation, soilless rice cultivation, and even seawater rice cultivation were already very mature.

Su Ranran, who had originally studied horticulture, found it much easier to learn because, although she hadn’t studied rice planting technology, horticulture was also a form of agricultural technology.

So, it was much easier for her than for those with no foundation. But no matter how easy it was, she was not a god, and it was impossible for her to become an expert in one go.

After harvesting and drying the remaining rice in the space, Su Ranran spent every night before going to bed studying.

I don’t know if it was because she used less water in the space, but the good luck she’d had in the past few days slowly returned to normal.

On the fifth day, when Su Ranran went to catch snails again, she only caught a little more than the children, not as exaggerated as the first day.

Such a result made Su Ranran feel relieved.

And when she finally figured out some tricks in her space, she suddenly found that the whole village seemed to have changed. Everyone had harvested the rice and was carrying it bag by bag.

Shen He, who had been busy harvesting in the fields every day, was nowhere to be seen at this time.

When Su Ranran finally found him, she saw him carrying sandbags covered in dust. And the people carrying sandbags like him were a team of soldiers in olive green uniforms!

Seeing this scene, how could Su Ranran not know?

These were the nearby garrison troops coming to reinforce the dam.

Although Shen He did not serve here, there was no problem for him to participate in the embankment reinforcement as an active-duty officer.

This was the first time Su Ranran saw him in the army.

Serious, disciplined, and very neat.

Although he was mixed in with the crowd of people wearing the same military uniform, Su Ranran still recognized him at a glance!

His face was dirty and covered in dust, but in Su Ranran’s eyes, it was full of an unspeakable charm. 

The more she missed him in her last life, the more she understood this disciplined army.

She had watched such scenes of earthquake relief countless times in the era of short videos.

But none of them had the same shock as seeing it with her own eyes this time!

“Comrades, the rainstorm is coming soon, please speed up! We have to complete the embankment reinforcement before the afternoon. Do you have confidence?”

On the truck, an officer about 40 years old was shouting and commanding the officers and soldiers below.

“Yes!”

Although the officers and soldiers were carrying sandbags, their response was uniform and loud, unaffected by the work at hand. The loud voice echoed across the riverbank.

When the men who had just finished harvesting rice heard this, their blood immediately boiled.

“I’ll carry the sandbags too, I’m strong!” someone suddenly shouted.

Then, other men responded immediately.

“I’ll come too!”

“And me!”

Soon, many men from the team rushed into the army green team.

Everyone carried sandbags without hesitation and headed towards the river embankment. A sandbag weighed dozens of kilograms, and carrying more than a dozen back and forth would tire even the strongest person.

But everyone seemed tireless, running back and forth again and again.

Seeing the tall figure in the crowd, Su Ranran suddenly felt her eyes grow dry. If it wasn’t for saving her in her last life, he would definitely be seeing his deeds later on in the videos, right?

Shen He also saw his wife standing on the side of the road.

But everyone was busy reinforcing the embankment, and it wasn’t the right time for him to leave.

When passing by Su Ranran, he quickly said to her “You and mother go to Huang Caizhu first, I will come after carrying the sandbags.”

Su Ranran naturally knew that it wasn’t appropriate to disturb him at this time, but the closer the rainstorm got, the more panic she couldn’t control.

Su Ranran’s voice trembled slightly as she resisted the urge to call him to evacuate with her.

“I’ll wait for you, you must come!”

Hearing the strangeness in her voice, Shen He paused and saw the panic and unease in her eyes, which she couldn’t hide in time.

What kind of eyes were those? It was as if she had seen some terrible scene across time and space!

It made him want to hold her in his arms and comfort her, so she wouldn’t be afraid anymore. But the last bit of reason told him that the occasion wasn’t right. With his fingertips slightly curled, he resisted the urge to hug her and nodded solemnly.

“I will, don’t worry.”
