Chapter 230: A fire caused by a thunderbolt

The ancestral graves of the old Lin family are very concentrated, and Lin Quan's grandparents, great-grandfathers and great-grandmothers, and even the elders of the last two generations are buried nearby. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

This is convenient for the people of Lin Quan, so as not to have to run around the mountains.

Lin Dad has no brothers in his generation, but his cousins are a lot, the cemetery has been cleaned up by Lin Quan's cousins and uncles two days ago, and new soil has been added to the grave, and several colorful paper lanterns are hung on the bamboo poles inserted in the grave, fluttering in the wind.

In this way, Lin Quan's father and son will have to save a lot of effort, otherwise more than a dozen graves will have to weed and add soil, which is really not a small project.

But even so, Lin Quan's father and son were tired enough, even if it was just burning paper and incense, and more than a dozen graves took turns to get over, it took more than half an hour.

After finishing this, the father and son took out a bunch of firecrackers from the back basket, and after placing them, the two of them lit the fire separately, and the scene was completely shrouded in gunsmoke, and the deafening roar of firecrackers resounded in the ears.

After packing up their things, the father and son were about to go home, Lin Quan's face suddenly changed, he stretched out his hand and pointed to a mountain in the north of the village, and said in surprise:

"Dad, it's burning over there!"

When Dad Lin heard the reputation, he saw that halfway up a hill in the north of the village, a thick white smoke rose up, and the red flames were faintly seen rising in the wind.

Needless to say, when the family went to the grave, they accidentally ignited the grass on the mountain.

"Let's go, let's put out the fire!"

Dad Lin's face changed, and he immediately walked briskly over there.

The mountain is not isolated, there are several mountains next to it, and if you can't put out the fire and let it spread, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Dad, you go first, I'll call more people."

Lin Quan didn't rush towards the mountain where the fire started, at this time, he didn't call many people, and it was not so easy to put out the fire.

"It's on fire, the hill north of the village is burning, everyone go and put out the fire!"

Next, Lin Quan shouted in the village, and after seeing that everyone had discovered the fire on the hill over there, he gathered a group of men, women and children, and rushed towards the north of the village.

The hill where the fire broke out was on the side of the road, not very far from the village, probably less than a mile away, and there were already more than one motorcycle carrying the fire extinguisher, hurrying towards that side.

Of course, there are not many people that can be carried by motorcycles, and most of the men, women and children still rely on walking, chatting and running towards the head of the volcano.

"Whose family went to the grave over there today, why was it so careless that the mountain was set on fire?"

"It seems to be Xia Hongbo, his father is buried on the mountainside, and I just saw him riding over."

"Hey, the current posterity is not reliable, I just met him on the road and mentioned it, asking him to be careful, but I didn't expect to burn the mountain."

"This burn, even if the fire is extinguished, those fir trees on the mountain are finished, I don't know how much money will be fined, his old mother is sick and dragged along, and there are two cubs to raise, it will be even worse."

Everyone was talking about it, and when they arrived at the foot of the mountain, the fire had completely spread, and the red flames could be seen clearly from afar.

The number of villagers who arrived in advance was small, and they did not dare to face the fire at all, so they could only run to the place where there was no fire, and worked hard to harvest the hay on the hillside, artificially creating a piece of isolation.

If you can cut down a patch of grass before the fire can start, the fire will stop.

As they climbed up the road at the foot of the mountain, a young man in his thirties was sitting in front of a grave with a dark face, his hair and eyebrows were partially burned, and his eyes were filled with deep sorrow in addition to fear.

"Hong Bo, didn't you tell you to be careful, why did you still set the mountain on fire?"

An old man in the village stepped forward and scolded in a stern tone.

Xia Hongbo, who was sitting on the ground, finally came back to his senses and said with a wry smile:

"Sixth master, I'm careful enough, when I burned the paper money, I waited until it was all burned out, and buried it with soil. Who knows, when the firecrackers were set off, the earth-shattering thunder exploded, and it rushed around directly, which ignited the grass on the mountain. ā€

Now, everyone finally knows what happened.

It turned out that it was not that Xia Hongbo was not careful enough, but that people were not as good as the sky, who would have expected that a cloud of earth-shaking thunder would directly explode the canister, and then shoot everywhere and ignite the dead grass on the mountain?

In this way, although Xia Hongbo can't escape the fine from the government above, he can find the manufacturer of the earthquake thunder and ask them to share the loss.

Everyone also knew that it was not the time to discuss these things, and under the command of several old men, dozens of men and women divided into several teams and ran in various directions on the mountain, striving to clear a quarantine area before the fire spread to the point where it could not be suppressed.

Originally, this barren mountain was overgrown with weeds and thorns and shrubs, making it difficult to pass at all, but when it was burned by fire, it was easy to pass.

Lin Quan followed behind a group of villagers, looking around as he walked, and when he saw a tall iron tower on the top of the mountain, his face changed suddenly, and he shouted:

"Go up to the top of the hill and cut the grass there."

was reminded by Lin Quan like this, and everyone reacted one after another, and they all hurriedly ran towards the top of the mountain with a drastic change in their faces.

There's a mobile base station there, and next to the tower is where the computer room is located, so if you let the fire go there and burn those cables and machines, you'll have to lose a lot of money.

Although Xia Hongbo will pay for the loss of money at that time, everyone is from the same village, how can they watch such a thing happen?

Fortunately, there is a dense mangosteen forest growing near the top of the mountain, and the fire was stopped here, and it couldn't burn for a while and a half, giving everyone plenty of time to clean up the dead grass next to the mobile base station.

Everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, well, this sentence is not suitable for use here, it should be that there are many people with great strength, dozens of people have a sickle in their hands, and under the division of labor and cooperation, it only takes about half an hour to control the fire within a certain range.

The mobile base station on the top of the mountain was also lucky not to be affected by the fire.

Next, all you have to do is wait.

That's right, as long as the fire spreads to the artificial barrier and there is no hay to burn, the villagers can come forward with the fresh branches they have cut down and put out the fire once and for all.

Otherwise, if there is no separation zone, the fire will be several meters high, who will rush to extinguish the fire? It's nice not to burn you to black coal.

From the beginning of the fire to the control of the fire, it only lasted for more than an hour, but the area of the mountain forest that had been burned down was already as high as dozens of acres, including a small piece of fir forest, which was burned bare.

Other than that, there are mostly bushes and weeds, and even if they are burned, they are not much of a deal.

But it is this small piece of burned fir forest, Xia Hongbo is afraid that he will have to bear a fine of thousands of yuan at that time.

Leaving some people to guard the hill in case the fire recurred, most of the villagers began to walk towards the foot of the mountain, and the scene ended.

At the foot of the mountain, Xia Hongbo had already bought a few boxes of mineral water and a few cigarettes, and while thanking the big guys, he gave smoke and water to the crowd.

If it weren't for everyone's timely rescue, when the fire completely spread, he would probably face more than just a fine, and maybe have to go to prison for a few years.

"If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place? In such a place where fire is so easy, you shouldn't burn paper money and set off firecrackers when you go to the grave. ā€

Lin Quan took a bottle of water and a pack of cigarettes from Xia Hongbo's hand, shook his head slightly, and sighed in his heart.
