Chapter 402: Firefighters
Behind the circle of the siege of the city, there is a dense forest, most of which fall less than twenty meters away, and the line of fire has to pass through this short twenty meters, which is a matter of a blink of an eye.
At the beginning of spring, the larch contains very little water, no different from dry wood, and there are a lot of dead branches on it, so if it is lit, it will definitely be a large candle.
Wang Sanpao is an old runner, so he naturally knows how powerful it is, so he shouted "fight". Moreover, he really fought hard, put a set of sheepskin on his body, and the whole person lay on the ground, flying bones, and used the weight of his body to suppress the flames.
"Everyone put on the skins and roll on the ground!" The fat man had been fully supervising the fire, and when he saw that there were loopholes in several places, he hurriedly yelled.
Because the smoke in the fire was too big, many people couldn't see Wang Sanpao's demonstration, so the fat man shouted out.
The crowd did not dare to slack off, and fell to the ground, raised their heads, and shrunk their hands into their sleeves, and then went up to the flames. The flames licked on his face, and it was so hot that his eyebrows burned off at once, and the dogskin hat on his head was immediately scorched.
While observing the fire, the fat man is aware of everyone's movements and is ready to support at any time. His extensive search had a huge effect at this time, and when the other side couldn't resist it, he rushed over. The weight of more than 200 catties is not vegetarian, and it is like a big stone that has been crushed over the flames. Everywhere they went, the flames were extinguished, and only the sparks still flickered.
This state should not be taken lightly, even if you see a flame, as long as there is smoke and a small wind blowing, it may rekindle at any time.
The fat man's head was also scorched and was very short by Ye Ying~|, which did not cause much trouble. It seems that there is a time when bad things turn into good things.
But the fat man is so anxious now that he doesn't have time to think about it. Suddenly, he felt that there was no movement on Qiqi's side, and the fat man immediately ran over, picked up the little girl from the ground, and jumped out of the circle.
A few put out the flames on the ground and put out the flames, and their heads rolled on the ground just now. As a result, I was choked by the smoke.
looked at Qiqi's little face being burned so much that he didn't look like a child. The fat man is distressed: "Old man Wu take care of Qiqi quickly." And the criminals over there!"
The fat man saw that the old man of Diwu over there was also a little unable to support it. Immediately shouted. And then. He immediately rushed up to take the place of Old Man Wu.
Old Man Wu got up from the ground. coughed a few times: "Stinky boy, stop." It is resolute not to let the mountain burn down. ”
When it comes to feelings for Daqingshandi, the old man is no worse than the people who rely on the mountains and tundi. So at this critical juncture. He was red-eyed too.
It's just that although there are thousands of troops under his command, they are not here now. In the end, I can only rely on these people in the venue.
The fat man lay on the ground like a small tank, and where he pushed forward, he left a black area without flames - the ground was covered with a layer of black ash.
"There's a snow ridge over there!" Old man Wu hugged Qiqi more than ten meters away, and saw that the little guy had opened his eyes, so he was a little relieved, and then he saw that there was a snow ridge on the edge of the glade, so he shouted.
"The militia have all gone over to carry snow!" The fat man was the temporary commander of the fire, and when he heard the shouting of the old man Wu, he immediately gave an order.
With a hula, more than two dozen militiamen tore it down, and when they came to the snow ridge, they spread the sheepskin on the ground, and shoveled it with their hands and feet, and got the snow on it. Then he wrapped it in a leather garment, ran back, and threw it into the ring of fire, and immediately there was a sizzling sound, and the flames dimmed, but soon they returned to their original state.
"Circle around the side, don't go inside!" The fat man saw that the area inside was too large, and hurriedly reminded them.
The soldiers and police officers who were in charge of extinguishing the fire also kept shouting that where the fire was fierce, the snow should be transported over first. Even Kiki returned to the battle, dragging the sheepskin to pull the snow here.
The fire was finally brought under control, and the surrounding snow melted and seeped into the ground, forming a barrier. When snow was sprinkled on all four circles, the fire was finally confined to the circle and no longer spread outward. It's just that the fallen leaves inside are thicker, so the momentum of the fire still looks majestic.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, it was more than ten minutes of work just now, but everyone felt like a few hours had passed. The strength in everyone's body also seemed to be quickly drained.
Some people sat on the ground and gasped for air, and some people picked up the kettle and poured it twice, so that their throats were about to smoke.
"Fatty, get a cigarette—" A militiaman sat on the ground and beckoned to the fat man.
"You haven't had a good time just now. The fat man also had a smile on his face, and then took out a box of big front doors one by one, but his face was covered with black ash, and when he laughed, he showed two rows of little white teeth, just like a little ghost.
Just a moment ago, everyone was choked with thick smoke, and now if you spit or twist your nose, it is guaranteed to be black.
At this time, it is most convenient to smoke, without a match or a lighter, just go directly to the fire ring, put a pestle on the ground, and then take two sips.
"Don't relax, everyone, you have to work right away after smoking a cigarette, there is too little snow around us, it will dry up in a while, and the flames will soon pass through again!" Wang Sanpao had been standing there, carefully observing the fire. Speaking of experience
It's not a star and a half worse than him, after all, the fat man has no practical experience.
The nerves that were originally lax immediately tensed, this time except for the fat man and the old medicine man Lin Qingshan who were supervising the fire, the rest all began to transport snow, and the efficiency was naturally greatly improved, and after a while, there was a white circle outside the fire again.
"Everyone worked harder and threw snow in the middle. Wang Sanpao shouted again and commanded the people to start a counterattack.
With the sound of sizzling, the water vapor began to steam in the center of the fire, and after more than an hour, there was finally no longer a single flame to be seen.
"Oh-" Kiki jumped in place a few times, waving his little arms in cheer. Afterwards, the adults also cheered, and everyone released the joy in their hearts without reservation.
Everyone's heart is filled with a sense of pride, and they feel like a hero who has triumphed on the battlefield.
"It's all good!" said Old Man Wu, who was also beside Wang Sanpao with a slight jaw. Wang Sanpao also nodded vigorously, and then habitually touched his beard, only then did he realize that his hands were all black ash, and his beard had already been burned.
Then, everyone looked at each other's appearances and all laughed. Everyone present, including Qiqi, was made to look out of place.
Lin Qingshan was the most miserable, his hair was originally flowing and curled all over the place, and many people's hands and faces were blistered by the fire.
"This is not good, in case it freezes, the injury will be even more unwilling. "Lao Yaozi is a little worried, but there is no medical treatment now.
"It's better to do this, these people are guarding to the death. The others went back to the village first, and then called someone to come and replace them. The fat man blinked a few times and said.
"If you don't have any burns, go back, Xiao Mingzi, you bring the fugitives back first. Old man Wu also felt that the fat man's method was feasible, so he immediately began to arrange it.
"Let's stay!" Li Qiang and the soldiers shouted in unison.
The fat man waved his hand, and then ordered a few people: "The third uncle and I led them to stay here, and everyone else went back with Uncle Yaozi." You don't have to fight, if you go back early, you should come and change us as soon as possible. ”
Xiao Yueming saluted the fat man and them, and then escorted the short fugitive on the way home. As for the tall guy, he had been scorched by the fire and stuffed straight into the sack.
Qiqi waved his hand to the fat man: "Fat uncle, look at it, I'll go back and ask Sister Xiaoyu to make something delicious for you!"
The fat man nodded, of course he knew the little girl's thoughts, and he was worried that the fire would start and burn all the animals on the mountain to death.
took out a few pears from the schoolbag and gave them to Wang Sanpao and Li Qiang, and a few people didn't care about the black, and they all clicked and gnawed. The feeling of cool juice flowing into the hot throat is called a refreshing.
Then, the fat man found a small pit next to Xuelingzi, and then secretly put some water in it, beckoning everyone to come and wash their faces and hands, after all, the water in it is unusual and good for wounds.
Everyone washed their faces, and they felt a lot more refreshed, and their faces were burning with fire, but now they were like smearing cool oil.
"Qiangzi, you first wander back and forth here, there is a place of resurgence, hurry up and start as soon as possible, third uncle, discuss something with you, everyone's stomachs are hungry, you always use the shotgun, do you have to show your hand." The fat man smiled and began to start the king's three cannons.
"Cheng, I'll get two hares back to celebrate, but it's not an example. Wang Sanpao agreed very happily, if the mountain forest fire burned, the entire Daqing Mountain might be destroyed, not to mention a few hares.
Seeing Wang Sanpao's figure disappearing into the woods, the fat man went to dry the branches, and after a while, he came back with a large bundle and threw it on the ground: "Hehe, I just finished fighting the fire and had to start the fire, I would have known that I wouldn't have saved it——"
After saying that, he put the branches in the fire field, put some dry leaves at the bottom, and then set up the branches. The fat man took out a glass bottle filled with medicine, which was salt noodles, and then, like a trick, he took out two bottles of two pots from his schoolbag.
"Fat brother, I've convinced you, you can eat and drink at any time. Li Qiang also snorted a few times in his mouth, and almost threw himself to the ground for the fat man's admiration.
The fat man said a few times, and his heart spoke: I haven't taken the good things out yet.
After a while, Wang Sanpao walked back with a few rabbits. The fat man scratched the back of his head: "Third uncle, I didn't hear the gunshot?"
"You can't use it if you don't hunt with a gun, you see when the third uncle smoked his mouth. Wang Sanpao put the hare on the ground, skinned it cleanly, and then put a branch into his mouth: "Let's start roasting." ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw the firewood pile prepared by the fat man hula, and it turned out to be the embers on the ground rekindled.
Several warriors were startled, and they picked up the sheepskin and were about to rush up, all forming a conditioned reflex.
"This fire doesn't need to be extinguished. Wang Sanpao happily stopped them, and then heard a pig-like shout from behind him: "Oh no, it's on fire again, hurry up and put out the fire——"
"Fatty, if you howl for a while, you won't have your share. Wang Sanpao warned without looking back, and everyone in the audience laughed together.
