Chapter 43: A Sudden Fire

After listening to Guoguo's words, everyone picked out all the wrong ones, and then hurriedly scattered around and ran under the chestnut tree. ~With~Dream~Small~Say~щww~mеng~lā Trend towards profit, the eternal law.

Guoguo looked at the thick tea tree seeds that had been picked out of the ground and thought for a moment.

"Let's go pick it up or it'll be gone." Cao'er is not in such a good mood. It was such a good opportunity to accumulate some food, but it was also exposed and robbed, and I felt a little unfair in my heart.

"Sister, this chestnut is not our family in the first place." Guoguo quickly adjusted her mood and looked at the rare stingy grass with some amusement.

In the afternoon, the villagers swept the chestnuts in the mountains, but because there were chestnuts all over the hillside, there were still people picking them up when it was dark.

Originally, there were still people in the village who were skeptical, but when they went back to cook it and ate it, everyone only had the fragrance of chestnuts left in their hearts. There are more people coming to the mountain, and it can't stop everyone's excitement when it's dark. The long bamboo pole has been beating on the branches, and the chestnuts with burrs are falling down with a clatter, and adults and children are all picking up them lively, and occasionally whispering a few words of gossip from the Fang family, it is nothing more than that Guoguo They want to eat alone or something, but there is no excessive language coming out, after all, if it is not Guoguo, everyone does not know that this fruit can be eaten, and it is so delicious.

Shi Lei looked at the torches on the mountain, and his brows became tighter and tighter.

"What's wrong?" Guoguo walked behind. Looking at Shi Lei's silent face, in the background of the night and firelight, it was as thick as a sculpture. This man has a rough face!

"It's dry." Shi Lei sighed, then thought of something, and strode forward.

Guoguo quickly followed, but the helpless person had short calves, and he almost trotted to keep up: "What are you doing?" ”

"I'll go find Lizheng." Shi Lei said faster and faster.

Guoguo really can't keep up this time. She simply stood on the side of the road panting, and said angrily: "Go ahead, go ahead, I can go back by myself without you." ”

Shi Lei turned his head to look at her, then looked at the mountain where the fire was shining from time to time, and responded in a low voice, "Hmm." "This time, I'm going back first.

Guoguo immediately fell, and the whole person lay on the grass on the side of the road: "Hmph, the green tree is coming soon, I can't make it to you yet!" Sure enough, in less than three minutes, Qingshu was found. There were many people in the afternoon, and it was more difficult to find and handle, so the three of them searched for an afternoon to pick up three back baskets. Guoguo asked Qingshu and Cao'er to carry it home first, and she stayed behind to continue picking it up with Shi Lei. Although Shi Lei is a good hunter, he is really not good at picking up things, and in the end, he turned into fruit to help him pick it up.

When Qingshu came to look for Guoguo with a torch, Guoguo saw the firelight burning and burning sparks, and suddenly realized that the problem that Shi Lei said was strict.

"Quick, go and call everyone back, it's not good if you accidentally burn the mountain." As soon as Guoguo grabbed Qingshu's torch and pushed Qingshu up the mountain, Qingshu was pushed and staggered, and he was a little helpless: "My mother also knows that this is dangerous, so I will go back if I look for you." ”

"Well, I'll go back, you go and let everyone go back." Guoguo said, thought about it, and felt that maybe Qingshu was not authoritative enough to convince everyone, and was worried, when he saw several old people in the village walking up the mountain in a hurry.

"Create evil, burn torches on the mountain on this dry day, in case you ・・・・・・" The sixth uncle's voice has not yet landed, just like Ying and him, the mountain exploded like water into a hot oil pot: "It's on fire, run!" ”

Everyone looked at the red flames rising quickly on the mountain, and the mottled burning sound was mixed with all kinds of shouts for help, the angry scolding of men, the cries of children, the despair of women, and the sorrowful cries of all kinds of birds and animals. The huge light of the fire instantly lit up half of the sky, reflecting the crowd of people who were running down in a hurry, and the fast-moving black shadow seemed small and helpless. Qingshu also pulled Guoguo and ran down the mountain quickly, and when Guoguo reacted, Qingshu was already sweating with her hand holding her tightly, and their steps were a little fluttering and trembling, and they fell into the arms of Liang and Cao'er who came over.

Fang Yuqian also ran out of the courtyard gate with a sad face, looking at the fire on the mountain, with tears in his eyes.

Guoguo took a breath, unloaded the basket, and ran to the courtyard: "Take a shovel and dig the isolation belt, quickly, dig the isolation belt." "My house is at the foot of the mountain, and the fire will soon follow the wind.

Everyone in the village ran up the mountain, each chanting the names of their relatives, for fear of who was still on the mountain. As soon as the night wind blew, the fire became even stronger, and in an instant the entire hillside was engulfed in flames.

Those who found it ran home, and those who didn't find it wanted to go to the mountains, and many people were holding things to put out the fire, but it was useless. "Quick, dig the barrier, cut all the grass here, don't let the fire creep over." Guoguo quickly assessed the fire, "Sixth uncle, save people and wet yourself before entering the mountain, I have water at home, call someone to dig the isolation zone, or the whole village will be burned!" ”

The mountains are all connected, and the fire spreads along the night wind, and I don't know what will happen yet.

But the sixth uncle also choked on the smoke, and he couldn't speak at all, there were too many people and it was too noisy, and he didn't hear what Guoguo said clearly. Qingshu followed Guoguo closely, what was the accident when he climbed her, seeing that Guoguo yelled at a few people and no one paid attention to him, he was also anxious, and looked up to see Shi Lei not far away. As soon as he was ruthless, he ran to Shi Lei's side: "Brother Shi, Guoguo has a way!" ”

As soon as Shi Lei arrived at Li Zheng's house, he heard the heart-rending shouts on the mountain, and he could only pull Li Zheng and run up the mountain while briefly stating his conjecture. As soon as he arrived this time, Qingshu came looking for him.

Li Zheng coughed desperately a few times, and also said tremblingly: "Yes, mow the grass, cut the isolation belt, quickly!" ”

The scene was out of control, Li Zheng shouted a few times and was buried in the crying, he was so sad in his heart that he was about to faint when he stumbled. Shi Lei held him and asked Qingshu to stabilize his body: "Help him go back!" ”

"But Guoguo ・・・・・・," Qingshu still thought about Guoguo.

Over there, Guoguo has already started to shovel grass quickly.

Shi Lei glanced at the crazy little figure, and his heart was determined: "You help him back!" ”

Then he walked quickly to a crying young man, pulled him and threw him in the direction he had just been: "Go dig the barrier!" ”

"Those who want to save others protect themselves; If you find someone, dig a barrier in this direction, quickly, or it will burn to the village. Most of the houses in the village are thatched houses, and when a small number of people heard Shi Lei's shout, their panicked hearts suddenly calmed down, and they reached out and wiped their tears and ran back to get a sickle and shovel.

Shi Lei just shouted and threw people, all the way into the firelight, and there were still people who didn't come out. From time to time, a black man ran out carrying people.

Shi Lei grabbed a descendant: "You go and command everyone to dig the isolation belt, let Guoguo save people, she knows how to heal." ”

The man panicked and broke away from Shi Lei's hand, but he couldn't break free. He was frightened by Shi Lei's fierce eyes, and his feet trembled and he couldn't take a step. At this time, Da Zhu came over from the side and patted Shi Lei's hand: "I'll go." As soon as he spoke, the descendant staggered away by him.

The sixth uncle and several old men fell on the side of the road and cried: "Retribution, retribution!" After all these years, the fire is still coming! ”
