After small talk, it's time to get back to work.

Taking advantage of the good weather in these two days, we have to hurry up and make firebreaks.

There is a big difference between making a firebreak and clearing wasteland.

Clearing the land is nothing more than cutting down all the trees, shrubs, weeds and weeds in the mountains, and making firebreaks is to clean up all the weeds and trees that have fallen to the ground.

Thicker branches are cut and bundled into bundles to take home, while thinner branches and flammable materials such as weeds need to be turned over into the mountains with a hoe. Moreover, it must be clean, preferably so that not even a single branch is visible.

When all these thin branches and weeds are brought into the mountain, a firebreak is formed around the mountain.

There are no branches, no leaves, no weeds on the firebreak, and the muddy yellow earth can already be seen. Moreover, the width of the firebreak is also about two or three meters, which is probably enough as a safe distance.

This may seem like a simple job, but it's not easy to do.

It took Liu Qingshan and his father two days to make the firebreak.

That is, he has great strength to be so fast, if he is an ordinary person to make a firebreak for such a large piece of mountainous land, it is impossible to get it in three or four days.

The day after the firebreak was set, the sky was overcast.

Liu Yuanhe stood at the door and looked at the sky, felt the humidity in the air again, and hurriedly turned around and ran to his son's room and shouted: "Qingshan, get up quickly, you are going to enter the mountain and burn the mountain." ”

"Ahh "The weather is getting cooler every day, and sleeping is getting more comfortable every day.

Liu Qingshan rolled up in the quilt and said lazily: "It's okay to go again tomorrow, take a day off today." ”

"No, the sky is about to change. Liu Yuanhe lifted his son's quilt, "Hurry up, if it rains heavily, it won't burn." ”

"Oooh oh. Although Liu Qingshan still wanted to get some sleep, he also thought that if the heavy rain was shaky, it was estimated that the work of burning the mountain would have to wait for some more time, so he had to get up quickly.

When he arrived in the mountains and looked at the dark sky, Liu Qingshan was quite worried: "Dad, what if it burns halfway and it rains heavily?"

"It's okay, burn it first, burn as much as you can. Liu Yuanhe was not ambiguous, handed a lighter to his son, and walked inside, "You order it all the way from here, and I'll go inside." ”

"Good. Liu Qingshan took the lighter and began to work.

Because the mountain area is very large, it is impossible to say that you can just light a fire and watch the mountain fire burn the plain, that is unrealistic.

In order to burn the mountain quickly, it is necessary to light a fire at the bottom of the mountain and on both sides.

Then the fire burned from both sides and the bottom to the top of the middle, and the people waited for the top of the mountain to set the fire on it.

Liu Qingshan took a lighter and lit the first fire at the bottom of the mountain.

No one had ever planted flammable pine and fir trees in the mountains before, they were all native wild trees, so it was quite difficult to light them, first grabbing a handful of leaves and stuffing them under thin branches, and then lighting the leaves with a lighter, and then igniting the branches.

Once the first fire is lit, follow the same method all the way to the outer firebreak, and then light the fire from the outside firebreak all the way up to the top of the mountain.

At this time, the fire at the bottom of the mountain had become very fast, like a fierce beast, surging upwards with the momentum of swallowing the mountain.

It's the same with Dad.

Liu Yuanhe has also reached the top of the mountain.

Looking at the fire that was still curling at the bottom of the mountain, Liu Yuanhe stood next to the reservoir and looked up at several big trees around the reservoir.

He frowned and said, "Qingshan, you say, according to this fire, if the mountain fire reaches the top of the mountain, will it burn these big trees?"

"It's fine. Liu Qingshan pointed to the hairless mountain in front of him and said, "Look, didn't I clean up all the branches and leaves around here yesterday, the mountain fire can't get over, don't worry." ”

Liu Yuanhe said: "If these big trees are gone, it will be a pity. ”

These trees are not only the largest wild trees in the mountains, but also the shade trees that his son left for him to make a cistern.

If these big trees are gone, he will not only regret the disappearance of these big trees, but also feel sorry for his son.

Although this son is unreliable, sometimes, this stupid son is still very warm-hearted.

Whether it is buying him a mobile phone or an electric heating fan, in those seemingly ordinary things, there is always a heart for his son.

He has no culture, and he can't say anything nice, so he can only silently guard that heart.

Therefore, he can't watch these big trees go into danger. He had to prevent the fire from getting too high and lick the tail of the fire into these big trees.

He must protect his son's heart.

"Qingshan, you go over there to watch the fire, and I'll go down and light a few more fires in the middle. ”

"Huh?" Liu Qingshan didn't react, "What are you doing to light a fire in the middle?"

Liu Yuanhe had already held the lighter and walked down: "If the fire at both ends and the fire at the bottom converge in the middle, the fire must be very big, it is estimated that the tail of the fire must be several meters high, it is too dangerous, I will go down to light a few fires in the middle and burn a fire escape in the middle, so that the fire cannot be connected, and it will not be so dangerous." ”

He's been a long way down.

Liu Qingshan was anxious: "Dad, you are stupid, the firebreaks on all sides have been prepared, what do you do if it has a high tail or not? As long as it doesn't burn into other people's fields, come back quickly." ”

"Less verbose. Liu Yuanhe said without looking back, "You go over there and have a look to see if there are any sparks running out." ”

"Dad. ”

"Let's go. If Mars runs out, you'll regret it. ”

Liu Qingshan was helpless, so he had to run to the side quickly.

After running to the side of the mountain, I saw that the branches near the firebreak had turned to ashes, and the fire was rapidly approaching the middle, so I ran to the other side again.

The situation on the other side is the same, the wildfires did not ignite other people's mountains, and they were all burning in the middle of their own mountains.

Looking at the smoke billowing from the mountain fire, Liu Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief. At this rate, the mountains will definitely be burned today.

Now, just pray that the rain doesn't come too fast.

Call~

The wind is blowing.

Looking at the swaying trees next to him and feeling the slightest coolness, Liu Qingshan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It's so cool.

He had just run a lot back and forth, and the fire was scorching, and he was so hot that he wanted to take off his clothes. Well, now, when the wind comes, people are suddenly much cooler.

However, this comfort only lasted for two seconds, and Liu Qingshan caught a glimpse of the mountain fire that was soaring, and he was full of excitement, and hurriedly pulled out his legs and ran to the middle.

As soon as the wind came, the wildfires became more and more rapid. The fire needs a lot of oxygen to burn, and the arrival of this breeze just provides enough oxygen for the wildfire. Therefore, the fires on both sides are burning in the middle with a running momentum.

The wildfire at the bottom of the mountain is also running upward.

However, Dad just went down and lit the fire.

Liu Qingshan secretly screamed badly, quickened his pace, and quickly ran to the middle of the mountaintop.

Looking down from above, you can only see billowing smoke, and Dad's figure has been blurred in the smoke.

"Dad. Liu Qingshan was anxious, glanced at the mountain fire that was quickly rushing to the middle on both sides, and shouted, "Dad, Dad, come up, come up!"
