Chapter 10: Fire
Fire, scorching fire, with the smoke and heat that swallowed everything swept through the fields with the summer wind, this is the Wangjiazhuang at four o'clock in the afternoon, the villagers who have been busy for a day have just returned home to drink a bowl of cool white open was startled by a rapid gong sound off the porcelain bowl in their hands, the most taboo in the countryside in the summer is this wildfire, the weather is dry, the sun is hot, the wheat field is not very breathable, a careless harvest of this half a year will turn into ashes, since it is a villager, there is an obligation to watch and help each other, after this rapid gong, the small village will spring up countless figures, they are carrying buckets in their hands, or holding basins, There are also people who want to shovel soil to extinguish the fire with farm tools, although the guys in their hands are different, but everyone's mood is the same, this hundred acres of fertile land is not a building in the city, some of the intervals will not spread too fast, everyone's land is not you and I are close to each other, do your best to ask for an income from this land, a fire, no one should think about sparing!
"Look, look, this sight. Just when the village was full of people in a panic, Zhang Deli with ears of wheat also secretly flowed out of the field, and now the position of these people is really hidden, behind a broken temple on the east side of this hundred acres of fertile land, Zhang Deli ran out and put a fire, then bent down from the field and secretly ran back, there is this half-person high wheat as a cover, no one will find the real culprit, even if he has good foot strength, but his face is still black and occupies a lot of soot, but under these ashes, it is an extremely excited face, several people saw this wheat field, they made up the idea of setting fire, originally this matter was to be unlucky Ma Chengkong to do, but Zhang Deli was stunned and snatched this errand, that is, he wanted to be cool, and now the fire dragon that swept the wheat field made this man who had always been in the wrong mood find a new excitement, he patted his thighs, shook his head and sang a little song in the car, and seemed to enjoy the pleasure of destruction.
"Broken jar, broken, not like a man!" Zhang Deli's rather forgetful attitude made Zhu Jiujiu a little unhappy, and he glanced at him so coldly, but Zhang Deli just turned his head and laughed a few times, and then went to focus on his great results, this scene made Zhu Jiujiu feel a little sympathetic to Zhang Deli, so many years of being manipulated by others, and then walking on the road that cannot be chosen, if it was himself, perhaps, he would have been unable to hold on, although Zhang Deli has begun his hysteria, but, compared with many people, he has really done a good job, at least, he is still looking forward to an ending, not blankly let the waves send themselves farther and farther。
"By the time we play, wait any longer, and the fire will be extinguished. He Qi smiled faintly, patted Zhang Deli on the shoulder and motioned him to start the bread parked in the corner, as he said, although the fire outside was a little terrifying, but the villagers obviously had some experience with this kind of accident, a circle of isolation gradually had a prototype, plus a few men who were setting up water dragons on the edge of the field, I believe that the fall of this fire is only a matter of time, and if this opportunity is missed, this hard work will be in vain.
"Well, voila. Zhang Deli was enough, so he took a towel and wiped the black ash on his face, and then threw the towel out of the window, and drove the van that was about to be scrapped on sixty miles with one foot of the accelerator, and went straight to the fire with a boom, and the villagers who were busy sweating and were a little flustered just listened to a stretched brake sound, and the small bread stopped on the edge of the fire, and a few good things turned their heads to see, and saw five people jumping down from the small bread, some holding a fire extinguisher in their hands, and some ran to the woman who staggered over with water。
"Thank you, thank you!"
The wordless thanks came from all directions, these thanks made Zhang You, who was a little ugly, suddenly have energy, his face finally had more smiles on his face, twisted his head and smiled at He Qi, as if he was saying that he was right, as if he was repeating the simple and simple words of the villagers here, but in this hurry, the choking smoke did not give him a chance to see He Qi's reaction, and soon, he was immersed in this firefighting, sweat left in his eyes, he touched a handful, the dust choked into his nostrils, he took a deep breath, and the power filled his body at this moment, making him suddenly have a sense of existenceIt wasn't until the fire gradually disappeared into the sky that he shook his body and sat limply on the still hot black earth and gasped.
"It's time to go. ”
Just when Zhang You was still immersed in the joy of this victory, a familiar male voice suddenly came to his ears, and his originally limp body was also erected, he was slightly stunned, turned his head to look and found that it was Zhang Deli and He Qi, although the two of them at this time were a little discouraged, but there was no half tired color on their faces, Zhang You was a little annoyed in his heart, raised his fingertips and was about to let the two of them see the evidence of this sincere unity, and when he saw the empty van on the edge of the wheat field, at this moment, his face turned white, and there were only four words in his mind: "How is that possible?"
"When you were busy in front, someone took a fancy to that truckload, which is amazing. Zhang Deli whispered sarcastically: " We are so full, when we come, we can only lean on the side to squeeze, but they are good, it took less than ten minutes to take it all, I can see it clearly, Ma Chengkong's cargo chief is like a farmer, this time he hid on the side, waiting for us to come to fight the fire, he put on a piece of clothes that he brought with the sheep and took the lead in taking a cigarette and ran back, with his example, those people don't put out the fire, they all go to grab things, you don't see, how the fire is extinguished, it's not that it's not burned and there is nothing to burn!"
"How so..." Zhang You's body shook, and finally saw the scene in front of him, although Zhang Deli was a little hysterical, but not really crazy and irrational, he chose this wheat field, on the left is some big stones, here can not be cultivated to stay, on the right is a few graves, although the countrymen farm, but the ancestors still dare not mess around, it is also an empty field, in front of the country dirt road, the back is a small ditch, it is the most ideal place to set fire, once the fire is burned this place will not spread, he Zhang has a mind to fight the fire is a little forgetful, did not pay attention to where the villagers around him ran toOf course, at first, some villagers were busy in it and didn't see the cars and cigarettes and alcohol behind, but later, when they saw everyone running back, they also found this source of wealth from the sky.
"If you see it, it's simple, it's simple, and you'll be left alone to work hard here. Zhang Deli sneered, and pulled Zhang You to the small bread with He Qi, and then pretended to be stunned for a moment, ran up and turned over for a long time, and then ran out again, shouting: "Where are my goods, where are the goods?"
"I didn't see any goods from you. When the smoke cleared, everyone had nothing to do, and a few villagers who were bulging in their arms just ran down from the small bread, and Zhang Deli was just a step forward, seeing Zhang Deli staring at himself, there was a weak heart and shook his head and said: "We are passing by, passing by!"
"No, you took my goods, hand them over quickly!" Zhang Deli sneered in his heart, glanced at Zhang You, who was as stunned as a wooden chicken, and said in his heart Lao Tzu has to make a full set of plays, so he simply grabbed the young man, took out a bottle of Wuliangye from his waist and shouted: "What is this? You didn't steal it!"
"How to speak, how to speak?" Zhang Deli this fierce, a few villagers who watched the excitement from a distance surrounded him, and it was the Chinese that was in his mouth, and he surrounded Zhang Deli and several people with a bad face, and an old man in front of him sneered: "We have never had this kind of person in Wangjiazhuang, you said it was yours, you ask him, is he yours, not yours, or we picked it up on the side of the road, we bought it with our own money, bit our tongues, and be careful of beating!"
"Are you unreasonable?" Zhang Deli's mouth moved before he could say anything, Zhang You's roar scared him all over, he turned his head to look, and saw Zhang Youqi trembling all over, pointing at the old man and roaring angrily: "We are kind enough to help you put out the fire, do you repay us like this?"
"Who told you to put out the fire, you have nothing to do to run to extinguish the fire, I see that you look very suspicious, if you didn't set this fire, what are you running here for?"
"We didn't see anything in your car, you came in a car, wasn't the car properly stored there, not even a paint off. ”
"Look down on the peasants, I'm not poorer than you, there are five grains of China every day, it's enough!"
At this time, there are more people who speak, and when it comes to it, they all mean the same thing, they haven't touched the things on the car at all, of course, there are also people who splash dirty water, Zhang has the original smoked black face, in these gossip, gradually white, after a long time, two lines of muddy tears flowed down quietly, revealing the original color of the skin, this scene, let He Qi sigh, patted Zhang Deli who was holding his hand and watching the excitement on the side, the two of them pulled up the bread with Zhang You, and in a burst of ridicule, the minivan slowly used Wangjiazhuang and disappeared on the vast road。
