fire
At this time, Wu Xie only had an ominous feeling, but he still told himself in his heart that it could not be such a coincidence, the probability of a fire in the old wooden house in this weather was very high, but the sense of foreboding in his heart gradually became so strong that he was a little suffocated.
Running with the child, rushing to the place where the fire was on fire, the closer he got to Wu Xie, the more he felt bad. When he rushed to him, he could hardly believe what was happening in front of him, only to see that the little brother's stilt building was on fire. The hill behind the stilt building was also burning, and the bushes were charred black, and the fire was still spreading upwards. I don't know if it's the building that affected the mountain, or the building that the mountain affected.
Villagers are rushing to the mountains from all over the world to put out the fire, and once the fire breaks out, the terrible consequences are unimaginable. So it's absolutely right to put out the wildfires first.
The source of this fire seems to be on the mountain, and the little brother's stilted building is at the foot of the mountain, so it was affected, but Wu Xie stood there, knowing that it must not be the case. Because there was a strong smell of kerosene in the air.
There are no fire hydrants here, all the fire-fighting equipment is only buckets, but the number of buckets is limited, and they scoop water from the water tank, and by the time the fire is extinguished, the little brother's house must have burned to the ground.
Wu Xie was in a hurry and wanted to rush in, but the fat man pulled him back: "It's too dangerous to go in!" We can't afford to die here! ”
Wu Xie's mind was in a mess, and he knelt on the ground, and suddenly the figure on the side flashed, and before they could react, they saw the little brother rushing over, rushing to the front of the fire room, and rolling into the space under the stilted building.
"Bastard!" Mengli gritted her teeth and scolded secretly, not knowing whether it was the little brother who scolded or the person who set the fire.
The fire didn't seem to spread very fast in the stilt building, and before the fat man, Wu Xie and A Ning could react, Mengli had already snatched a bucket of water from the hands of the villagers who were about to run by, lifted it and fell from the top of his head, and quickly ran towards the stilt building.
Wu Xie and the three of them were all shocked, and the fat man immediately shouted for help! The three of them immediately rushed over, and five or six meters closer to the house, a hot wave hit their faces.
When the little brother ran into the stilt building and saw that the room was burning more vigorously than the outside, he knew that the fire was deliberately set by someone, and it started to be put inside. The little brother searched all over the room, and the photos and books were burned to ashes.
"Little brother! Ahem...... "Mengli found the little brother who was looking around in the room and wanted to pull him out.
Although she poured water on herself, she couldn't stand the fire so much that the heat was so hot that her clothes were about to be steamed.
But the little brother didn't seem to give up, looking around to see if there was anything missing.
"Are you dying?!! Ahem...... "Mengli really hates iron and steel, if they don't go out, they will all die here!"
Suddenly, a long wooden board burned into charcoal suddenly fell from above the little brother, and at the last moment, Mengli pushed him away, and the wooden board smashed into Mengli's arm, and then she flashed, and the wooden board fell to the ground.
"......" The little brother hurriedly supported her, frowned, and his expression didn't know whether he was remorse or grief, so he picked her up and rushed outside.
Outside, Wu Xie and the three of them were so scorched by the heat that they couldn't open their eyes, so they had to crawl back and roll. The firefighters next to them rushed up and pulled them back.
As soon as he was helped up, he heard a loud sound of things collapsing from the fire, and then the little brother ran out of the space of the stilt building with Mengli in his arms.
Someone next to them immediately went up and poured water on them, and someone on the side said they were crazy.
"You ...... Don't die! Wu Xie saw them come out and shouted uncontrollably, obviously he must be worried, "Mengli, you ......" Wu Xie saw that there was still white smoke on Mengli's arm, and the expression on his face became even more anxious.
"It's burned, it's big or small, you can take her to the village office to find a doctor." Really, there was no one to live in that house, and I learned how to save people, and I burned myself. At this time, the person on the side said.
Wu Xie found a child to lead the way, and the little brother followed with Mengli, who felt that her arm was still a little painful, but she knew that it was not a big deal, but she was just smashed by a wooden board and burned. If it weren't for her quick reaction, she might have really been burned.
"Ahem...... Little brother," Mengli reached out to wipe the water from her face, her voice a little hoarse, "Can you think about it first in the future, cough ...... Do those dangerous things again? Ahem......"
"Don't talk!" The little brother didn't look at her, looking at his expression as if he was angry.
Mengli pursed her lips and didn't say anything more, she knew that her throat was choked by smoke, it was not good to talk too much, the little brother was caring about her, although it was a little awkward.
The village office is not far away, and it will be there after walking for a while, Mengli's arm was shown to the doctor, only slightly burned, and the doctor gave her medicine, saying that she was lucky and did not have burns, otherwise she would have a scar in the future.
"Look at her voice." The little brother, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, "She choked on the smoke." ”
The doctor looked at it according to his words: "It's not a big deal, just take a few pairs of medicines." ”
And A-Ning went back to Agui's stilted building, and took the coats of the little brother and Mengli to put them on, after all, they had just come out of the fire and were splashed with water.
"Mengli, why did you go in too, the little brother scared me to death when he went in, are you going to die if the fire is so big? Do you know if anyone will be worried...... "This is the first time Wu Xie has been so angry."
At this time, the fat man changed his sex, and instead of fanning the flames, he persuaded Wu Xie not to be too excited and hurt himself.
The little brother also had mild burns, but he didn't seem to care about the wounds on his body at all, just there in a daze, not knowing what to think.
They all knew he was depressed about something, and now the only clues were broken......
None of them spoke, and went back to Agui's house to wash it.
The little brother fell into complete silence, and the room was filled with the strange smell of burn herbs, which was unpleasant.
"The fire started from the room, it smelled of kerosene, and someone deliberately set it on fire to burn the contents inside." Mengli glanced at the little brother and spoke.
"Someone? Little brother, did you offend people before, but now people are looking for you to seek revenge. I couldn't find you, so I burned down your house. The fat man analyzed.
"You ask the little brother? Do you think he can remember? And burn his house, who would dare? Mengli said, they have all seen the horror of the little brother, dare to offend the little brother, "click", how can there be a small life?
"I think someone doesn't want him to regain his memory." A-Ning, who had been silent on the sidelines, said suddenly.
In a word.
"That is, some people don't want us to continue investigating."
Listening to Agui talk about the fire, it should be the reason why the weather is too hot, I don't know how it burned, anyway, there will be wildfires here every summer, but it's the first time it's so close to the village, fortunately, it's an abandoned house that burned, and there is no big loss. I also heard that two people rushed in to save people, and they were really stupid, and they couldn't save people and paid for themselves.
Then everyone looked at Mengli and the little brother in unison, and both of them ignored their eyes.
So now that the things in the little brother's house have been burned down, this clue is broken, and what they can do now is Chen Wenjin's expedition team decades ago, and what is the iron in the box, and what is the connection with the little brother.
So they decided that they should continue to ask the old guide about the situation back then, and as for the Sheephorn Mountain, they would go to it anyway.
Ah Gui just said that he had already helped them contact the old guide, and he could go to him tomorrow.
"I have a very bad premonition, and I hope there will be no more changes tomorrow." Wu Xie said with some uneasiness.
"It's useless to worry, now we are completely passive and can only take one step at a time." A-Ning said calmly.
The little brother on the side was silent, and he was not willing to join their discussion.
Mengli was really worried when he looked at him, that place was his house, so everything in it was his, and it was burned to ashes by a fire, and it didn't give him a chance to remember it at all.
She wants to tell her brother everything, but every world has its rules. And she, if she wants to change her fate, the first thing she has to overcome is the end of being assimilated by this world.
She wrote down everything she remembered, but the timing of the events became unpredictable.
She kept asking, why did she come into this world? After coming to this world, why did you assimilate her again? Why...... Is it just for her to go through all this with them, to let her know that they are not in the same world?!
At the beginning, I only hated myself for being an outsider, but I didn't know that the story in the book was too painful and very bearable......
