Chapter 20: Waiting for the Wind to Come
The preparations are nearing the end, and now they have to wait, the right time and place are indispensable, and now they are just one day away, as long as they wait for a windy weather to carry out their plans. No one can predict how many percent of the success of this arson plan will be, and how many percent will be the failure, and if you want to burn a large area, it is not something that can be controlled by manpower, it can only depend on fate, if the wind direction matches the fire to burn a larger area, these can only be left to fate. Therefore, only by taking action can we know the answer and escape from here.
Wang Tao asked Li Qing if there was a fire in the beast planet, Li Qing replied very affirmatively, no, although there are rainy days and windy days here, but there has not been a big thunderstorm, and there has been no hot weather, so the flowers and plants here are luxuriant, and the beast planet that has not been damaged has grown extremely safely, and in some places a tree is next to a tree, densely packed with no end in sight, Wang Tao does not understand physics, nor does he understand chemistry, so he can only analyze the size of this fire according to reasonable reasoning, In the past few days, Wang Tao often took Xiao Ao and Li Qiang to explore the terrain in the forest, find a suitable fire point, and ensure that they can return safely after fire prevention. Collect some pine oil and use it to make torches.
In a blink of an eye, a week has passed, all the work is completed, and now the last process is to collect a large amount of grass, without the nourishment of the land, those grasses will soon become dry in the sun, which is used when setting fires, and the hay is the easiest to ignite, so to speak, it can be said that the fire is ignited, in order to ensure that the fire can ignite the trees, a large number must be used.
For the sake of safety, Wang Tao will not stay in the mountains and forests for too long, and will come back after collecting some pine oil. When he came back, he saw everyone resting by the stream outside the castle, and Wang Tao put the pine oil he collected together with other pine oils, and he chatted with everyone.
"Brother Li, now that everything is finished, just wait for a windy day, Li Qiang and I went to the mountains and forests today to take a look, there are many places suitable for setting fires, don't worry about this." Wang Tao actually wanted to set the ignition point in the mountain forest where Du Yu died, if he ran too far, he was likely to be affected by the fire, and after the fire was ignited, he would have to run against the wind, so this point must be arranged properly, don't let the fire go out when the time comes, and people can't come back.
"Okay, you arrange the location of the fire, and then everyone has a good rest, and as soon as the wind comes, we will start working." Li Qing replied,
At this time, Wang Tao glanced at Xiaoxue, and saw that Xiaoxue looked a little sad when she heard Li Qing say that she was going to do it, but then immediately returned to her previous appearance, Wang Tao could see that this was Li Qingyi's words, which touched Xiaoxue's heart, although Xiaoxue was very eager to leave here, but after all, she had lived here for so long and was very reluctant.
Xiaoxue learned from Li Qing's mouth about the horror of the fire, it is really like after the fire burns, this place may turn into ashes, Xiaoxue is a person who is very easy to invest in feelings, not to mention people, even if you stay in one place for a long time, you will also have a feeling of reluctance when you leave, no way, Xiaoxue has no way to stop us from using fire, because he knows that everyone here is eager to leave here, and this method of destruction is also the most effective way.
"It seems that I have to have a good chat with Xiaoxue in private, I really want to burn the beast planet with a big fire, and it will leave a knot in Xiaoxue's heart." Wang Tao thought secretly in his heart. The others were not as careful as Wang Tao's heart, and everyone was talking together.
Because the castle is very dim, so everyone rests at the gate of the castle during the day, and can retreat to the castle at any time if there is danger, after so long, few wild beasts come to the castle nearby, and I don't know why, it is some docile and cute little animals, these cute little animals found that the castle is very safe, fortunately they did not leave, and built their small home here.
Everyone didn't have any work right now, so they took out their wooden cards and started playing. Wang Tao did not participate in the war this time, and Xiaoxue never played this kind of thing. Wang Tao watched the excitement for a while, patted Xiaoxue's shoulder, made a gesture, and motioned for Xiaoxue to come with him, Wang Tao took Xiaoxue aside, making sure that they would not be noisy, and Xiaoxue also followed slowly.
Every time Wang Tao sees Xiaoxue, he has a fluttering feeling in his heart, Xiaoxue is so beautiful, there must be something attractive under the beauty. Wang Tao knew in his heart that he was just obsessed with Xiaoxue's beauty, and he didn't have the kind of doting on Xiaoxin.
I don't dare to look at Xiaoxue directly every time, after all, Wang Tao is young, and the shyness has not subsided, this time there are only two people Wang Tao looked at Xiaoxue a little obsessed, staring at Xiaoxue for a while, Xiaoxue was also a little embarrassed, breaking this embarrassing atmosphere and said: "Why do you have a strange look every time you look at me." ”
Wang Tao was awakened by this sentence, lowered his head and said with a red face: "I'm sorry, I asked you to come and chat with you." ”
"Yes, let's talk about it." Xiaoxue was also a little embarrassed, and she talked a lot less.
Wang Tao coughed dryly, sorted out his mood, sat on a stone next to him, and said, "Xiaoxue, I see that you have something on your mind, can you tell me." ”
"It's nothing, you're thinking too much."
"Impossible, you don't want to say that I will help you say that we are going to burn this beast planet with fire, you didn't agree, you didn't object, I know you feel uncomfortable, after all, this is your home, right, and you don't want to let them give up hope of going home because of yourself."
Xiaoxue lowered her head and didn't speak, Wang Tao was sure that it was indeed as he thought, Xiaoxue was reluctant to be here, and was shrouded in fire and turned into ashes.
Wang Tao saw that Xiaoxue didn't answer and continued: "None of us want to spend our lives here, including you, you told me that you want to go outside and see the prosperous world, I want to use fire to burn down here is also a last resort, I hope you don't blame me, I told my mother that I and Li Qiang, Li Xin and Xiao Ao went up the mountain to hunt, this has been more than a month, my mother will be in a hurry, my mother is weak, and now she may be sick, including Li Qiang's mother, so I have to go back quickly." ”
Wang Tao turned his head to Xiaoxue and continued: "Don't worry, even if this place is burned by fire, new plants will slowly bloom, and new creatures will be born. ”
"Well, I'm fine, I'm just a little uncomfortable, I feel much better to hear you say that, thank you." Xiao Xue said, hearing Wang Tao's words, Xiao Xue's tone of voice was also much more cheerful, and she didn't know if it was disguised or true.
"It's okay, when we go out, we will go to the big city together, go to school, and learn knowledge."
Xiaoxue often listens to Li Xin tell some gonzo about their school. I probably know what kind of place the school is, where you can teach and educate people, and gradually grow up in the indoctrination of some knowledge every day, Xiaoxue is also very yearning for that kind of life, today I heard Wang Tao say that we will go to school together, Xiaoxue is also a little impatient.
