Chapter Twenty-Six: After the Great Fire
Chapter Twenty-Six: After the Fire
Wang Tao finally ran to the castle gate, bent over and pestle his knees, panting angrily, he had been worried about Xiao Douding, and after taking a breath, he looked around for Xiao Douding, but he couldn't find Xiao Douding, and his heart became more and more anxious, "It's not because of this, Xiao Douding's speed can't come out." ”
Just when Wang Tao was anxiously looking for Xiao Douding, a white little head was exposed in the stream, and when he saw Wang Tao standing there, directly out of the water, he could only see a white light flying through with a gorgeous tail wing, and directly hit Wang Tao's arms, of course, this white light was Xiao Douding, Xiao Dou Ding was frightened by the fire, and hid in the water after running back, and the torch had already been extinguished when it was sprayed away, and Wang Tao's figure ran out immediately.
This sudden intake not only frightened Wang Tao, but also swollen half of Wang Tao's face, Xiao Douding also carried a torch stick on his body, and when he threw himself into Wang Tao's arms, the torch stick was slapped on Wang Tao's face, one hand dragged Xiao Douding and the other hand covered his face, a wry smile, this can be broken, but Wang Tao is still in a very good mood, after all, Xiao Douding came back safely.
Wang Tao untied the torch stick tied to Xiao Douding's body, propped up the wooden ladder on the ventilation window left on the castle, and began to climb upward, shouting as he crawled: "I'm back." ”
Li Qiang ran to the ventilation window as soon as he heard Wang Tao's voice, and saw Wang Tao holding Xiaodouding and climbing up, Li Qiang scolded reproachfully: "You bastard, you can make us worry to death." ”
Wang Tao returned: "Brother Qiang, now is not the time to talk about this, hurry up and drag me." ”
Wang Tao returned to the castle and immediately asked Li Qing to seal the only vent with the soil that had been prepared long ago, Li Qing put a piece of wood on the file, and blocked the gaps of the wooden strips with mud, and now the whole castle is pitch black, and everyone does not dare to light a fire, which will make the air drain quickly, everyone will stay here for many days, the castle is relatively large, the air inside is enough, if you light a bonfire, it may make people feel suffocated for a day,
Wang Tao sat on the wooden bench and took a sip of water to suppress the shock. began to talk about everything that happened just now, everyone was a little unbelievable after listening to it, this fire was put by Xiaodouding, Xiaodouding is so humane.
Wang Tao blamed himself and said: "This time blame me, I am a little arrogant, I didn't calculate the time well, but fortunately there is Xiaodouding, otherwise this fire would not be lit." ”
Xiao Douding also squeaked twice on Xiao Xue's shoulder as if he understood us praising him.
Li Qiang took Wang Tao's words and comforted: "Don't blame yourself Taozi, you can light the fire and be a hero, no one is a god, everything is so perfect, if you change me, it is estimated that you won't even be able to light a tree." ”
Chatting here, Li Qing said: "Everyone has one more thing to do now, that is, this gate and ventilation window must be watched 24 hours a day, the conditions here are insufficient, there is no cement, we are just using soil to seal the gap, it is easy to be exploited by the smoke, I suggest that everyone take turns guarding 24 hours a day, if there is smoke flowing in, the first time to plug the seam." ”
Wang Tao looked at Li Qingdao and said, "I agree, two vents, one gate." There are a total of 7 of us, divided into two groups, 12 hours a change, one person looks at a point, Li Xin and Xiaoxue are one person for 6 hours a day, if there is smoke flowing from the gap in your place, you will notify others as soon as possible to help plug it. ”
Li Xin and Xiaoxue were divided into 6 hours a day and felt too happy, and just wanted to say something, Li Qing interjected: "So it's decided, it's a little difficult, it's a test of endurance, anyway, it's only a few days, and patience will pass, Xiaoxin, Xiaoxue, you two girls are relatively weak, for the time being, it's divided into 6 hours a day, if anyone can't hold on, you two can help watch it for a while, no problem." Since Li Qing said so, Li Xin Xiaoxue is not good at what to say, nodding yes.
In this way, everyone's work is arranged, they are busy with what they should do, and the time of such suffering begins, everyone doesn't know what it looks like outside, they can only resign themselves to fate, everyone hopes that this fire is as big as possible, Li Xin is a person who can't stand loneliness, and it's really difficult for him to stay alone in one place, Li Xin has been gritting his teeth and insisting. Li Qiang also felt sorry for his sister and wanted to help Li Xin take a look at it for a while, but Li Xin said that he would not say anything, Wang Tao saw it in his eyes, Xiao Xin was still quite considerate.
There was nothing uncomfortable in this castle except for a little darkness, and the food and water were well prepared, enough for the group to use for a month.
Everything was going on, and there were a few times when there was smoke in the seal, and everything else was normal for the first time, and a day passed, two days passed, and then the roar of wild beasts was heard outside the castle, and the sound came from far to near. Wang Tao proposed that the ventilation window should open a little gap to see what the situation was like outside, the flowers and trees near the castle were relatively scarce, and the fire would not burn too much if it spread to the vicinity of the castle, so Wang Tao couldn't bear to see the situation outside, the castle window was so high, and the beast would not come in from here, Wang Tao wanted to see how the beast screamed so miserably, and whether it would burn its body completely, but Li Qing said that he would not say anything, and Wang Tao had no choice, so he had to give up this idea.
The sound of the beast went from far to near, from near to far, and everyone panicked when they heard it, but the beast didn't toss for long, the roar was gone, and they didn't remember that roar after waiting for a long time, and everyone was discussing and guessing whether the beast was burned to death or went away.
5 days have passed in a blink of an eye, everything is peaceful, the castle is a little stuffy, everyone knows that the oxygen in the castle is almost insufficient, and now even the big fire is almost burning, Li Qing and Wang Han are at the ventilation window, open a small hole, look at the situation outside, there is no green flowers and forests outside, there is a charred black earth in the two of them, the ground is emitting thick green smoke, Li Qing and Wang Han smiled on the corners of their mouths.
Because the temporary staircase was very narrow, there was only enough space for two people, Li Qiang could only wait for the news below, and asked eagerly: "How is it?" ”
Li Qing showed that hideous and terrifying face and shouted excitedly to everyone: "It's successful." ”
