The car sped down the country road, kicking up a cloud of dust, and thick smoke rose in the distance, like a dark cloud rolling like a dragon before a storm!

As soon as the car entered the edge of the village of Laohebao, a group of women were seen carrying iron shovels and big brooms, and hurried out.

I thought that the men all went up the mountain to extinguish the fire, but there were not enough people, and even the women in the village were mobilized.

Meng Jiefang stopped the car, and if someone recognized it, he hurriedly stopped and asked, "Where is the fire?" Come and lead the way, it's such a mess, it can't be done! ”

The woman was also anxious, and said to Meng Jiefang: "Everyone is over there in Qinjiaao!" ”

"Qin Jiaao? It's Qinjiaao again! What about Lao Qin? Meng Jiefang was also a little irritable, what kind of evil ghosts had been provoked in that place, and bad things had never stopped!

"The village chief took the men to put out the fire in Qinjiaao, the Dragon King Temple was burned to the ground, and the fire was about to burn to the side of the sect tomb, and everyone was fighting the fire!"

"This old Qin!" Meng Jiefang was also annoyed, this Qin Dayou's thinking was really a little narrow-minded, at this time, he should dig a fire barrier on the periphery, and it would have no effect on the fire point!

Yu Guofeng also patted Meng Jiefang's shoulder and said to him: "Old Meng, you should also calm down, don't be impatient, let's go over and take a look, don't bother the two masters, and we don't have to act separately." ”

Everyone got out of the car, followed the flow of women, hurried and slowed, and finally came to Qinjiaao.

The air was filled with soot and ash, and the people soaked their hands with the water in the kettle, covered their mouths and noses, and went inside.

The big archway of Qinjiaao was burned black, but it did not fall in the end, and it looked like a lonely fighter, in the ruins of the last guardian.

The Dragon King Temple has been burned down, a piece of scorched earth, rubble and masonry piled up into a black hill, the archaeological team is also discouraged, resting next to it, many people are lying on the ground, it should be dehydrated.

The medical staff of the health center originally came to supervise Zhao Tongyi's treatment of those archaeological workers, but who would have thought that they would now devote themselves to first aid work.

They were small in number, and the task was heavy, shuttling back and forth, and they were very busy, but there were still many people who had difficulty breathing, or who were fainted, and were carried out of the col.

Meng Jiefang was angry and didn't fight anywhere, and when he saw Ergou, he scolded: "Whether human life is important or ancestral grave is important, give it to me!" ”

Ergou had just carried his brothers from the same village out, and when he saw Meng Jiefang, he was also anxious.

"Captain Meng, the old village chief is still fighting the fire inside, we can't just watch it!"

"What nonsense! I'm going to get this old fool out! Meng Jiefang was furious and ran quickly with Ergou.

Yan Yu and Yu Guofeng and the others also looked at each other, Yu Guofeng said: "I'll go and take a look, you guys are incapacitated, go and see the fire point." ”

Hong Dafu said: "I'm not a wounded, I'll go with you." ”

Yu Guofeng and he were inseparable partners, and they were not verbose, and they trotted up with Meng Jiefang.

Yan Yu had no choice but to set his sights on Guan Rui, after all, he was not a person in the system, and at this time, Guan Rui still had to come out.

"Let's go."

Guan Rui didn't say a word and went to the Dragon King Temple, Yan Yu followed behind, but he thought in his heart, this ruined temple was burned down......

The people of the archaeological team were discouraged and depressed, but Zheng Junrong and Zhao Tongrong were a little bland, thinking about it, the Dragon King Temple burned down, which was good for their excavation, and saved the effort of having to deal with Qin Da.

"Why are you here?" Seeing Yan Yu and Guan Rui, Zheng Junrong's expression was a little complicated, but Zhao Tongrong smiled.

"Hello Professor Zheng, I heard that the fire started in the Dragon King Temple, come and see how the fire started."

"What? Do you suspect someone set a fire? Although the villagers do not agree to demolish the Dragon King Temple and obstruct our excavation work, we are not bad people and will never burn this broken temple! Zheng Junrong was a little displeased.

Guan Rui was a little surprised: "I didn't think so, but when the professor said this, I wanted to see if there was any suspicion of arson." ”

Yan Yu also felt strange, why was Zheng Junrong so weak-hearted, could it be that the people of the archaeological team set fire?

Of course, Zheng Junrong is a professor of the provincial archaeological team, and he is highly respected, so it is naturally impossible to use this kind of indiscriminate means, otherwise the archaeological team will not be obstructed by the villagers, delayed for so long, and is still doing ideological work.

However, in addition to them, the archaeological team also has a lot of supernumerary personnel, and there are also workers hired by other villages, after the incident of the blood rat woman, it is difficult to say that there will be people who are resentful, and under anger, they will burn the temple to vent their anger, which is possible.

Zheng Junrong was squeezed by Guan Rui like this, his face was ugly, and he was about to reply, but Zhao Tongrong said with a smile.

"Now that the fire has just been extinguished, the residual temperature is too high to get close, wait a minute, it should be able to cool down in the evening, but I will ask someone to help you clean it up, send some people to dispatch it for you, and you can see it as you want."

Guan Rui was also polite: "Then thank you Comrade Zhao." ”

Even Yu Guofeng wanted to call Zhao Zhenren, but Guan Rui didn't eat it, but Zhao Tongyi didn't care about this, but said to Yan Yu: "Have you thought about it?" ”

Yan Yu knew what he was asking, and shook his head at this time: "Now is not the time to talk about this. ”

"Okay, I'm always welcome." Zhao Tongyi nodded and stopped talking.

Guan Rui tried to take a closer look, and was so smoked by the smoke that tears flowed, because he didn't use water, but used sand and manpower to extinguish the fire, so many fires were actually burning secretly, producing a lot of smoke, no wonder so many people fell.

"I can't do anything now, except for leaving some people to come down and take care of the fire, and the others should be evacuated temporarily, this smoke is poisonous." Guan Rui kindly reminded him, but Zheng Junrong didn't appreciate it.

"No, this is our archaeological site, and it is our duty to protect the site!"

Guan Rui didn't say much more, because at this time he found out that many villagers from Laohebao had also stayed nearby, and they seemed to be vigilant against the archaeological team, and the two sides were more like a subtle confrontation.

Yan Yu was very familiar with these villagers, and he discovered this earlier than Guan Rui, although the fire had not yet been investigated, the atmosphere was already a little strange.

There was a delay here, but Meng Jiefang and Yu Guofeng came out of the col with many villagers from Laohebao.

The smoke in the col was even more suffocating, and the fire was very big, many villagers were constantly being carried out, and I don't know if Yu Guofeng used Hong Dafu's "big killer", or what method Meng Jiefang used to persuade him, and finally brought most of the people out.

There is no way to investigate the ruins, Yan Yu and Guan Rui also came to help, and the injured Qin Zhong was also among them, but his face was not good-looking, a big man, he was crying and crying at this time, and many people were also wiping their tears.

Finding that the atmosphere was not right, Yan Yu hurriedly came over and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Although Qin Zhong hated Yan Yu, he was injured by a mysterious person earlier, misunderstood Yan Yu, and was even suspected of being framed, so he couldn't get over it in his heart, after all, he was still an upright person.

After the mysterious man appeared, Yan Yu's suspicion of injuring Qin Zhong was completely cleared, and Qin Zhong was also explained and explained here, so it was clear.

At this time, he actually had a feeling of resentment, and said to Yan: "Dad, he ...... and uncles and uncles, reluctant to come out...... They say to die in it! ”

Yan Yu didn't expect this to be the result, and glanced at Meng Jiefang and the others, who also shook their heads, obviously confirming Qin Zhong's words.

Yan Yu ran a few steps forward, and saw more than a dozen old people, kneeling in front of the ancestral tomb, surrounded by fires, and the mountain col was burning crackling, the scene was extremely tragic!

What kind of spirit is this, although it is feudal superstition, but they are stubborn to the extreme, but they bloom with extremely shocking magnificence!

Yan Yu could understand this stubbornness, he didn't accept his father, and he didn't call him a word of father until the moment his father left him.

He didn't stay in Longfu Mountain, didn't succeed in teaching, didn't learn the art of Longfu Mountain, he insisted on following his own path, even if he had a hard time, no matter how others didn't understand, even if everyone felt that he had chosen the wrong one.

He didn't have a good impression of Qin Dayou.

This old man is not kind, he is very narrow-minded, guarding a small world, controlling self-righteous power, and maintaining the majesty of arrogance.

He has a selfless side, for the sake of the villagers, but also for the sake of these villagers, or what has been passed down from his ancestors, he can become extremely selfish.

In the final analysis, he has never envied the outside world, no matter how poor this place is, no matter how hard the life is, he is willing to go out.

He is an ancient man who lives in modern times, and he enjoys it, and he still sticks to his own ways, and believes that it will never go out of style.

From his standpoint, he didn't do anything wrong, he didn't keep up with this era, but he didn't think about following the trend of this era at all.

Thinking of this, Yan Yu was inexplicably a little sad, and he walked into the fire step by step and walked behind the group of kneeling old men.

When you are in it, you will know how dangerous this environment is.

The smoke is everywhere, inhaling into the lungs, it is very uncomfortable, like a completely closed kitchen, the stove is constantly smoking, but there is nowhere to escape.

"Uncle Qin, let's go out first, the grave is burned flat, it's a big deal to repair ......"

This is the first time he has used the very close title of Uncle Qin on Qin Dayou.

The old man opened his eyes slightly, and instantly shed tears, not knowing whether he was smoked by smoke or moved by emotion.

"I'm afraid......"

"I'm afraid, let's go out first, okay?"

"No...... I'm not afraid of death, I'm afraid the tombstone will be burned......"

"The tombstone is burned and can be carved again, we lack everything here, just a lot of stones, don't we?"

"But I'm old, Yan Yu, I'm old, our brothers are old......" Qin Dayou said this, Yan Yu was finally sure that he was really crying, not smoked.

"I can't remember the name of each tombstone, which one is the ancestor of which generation, I'm already a little confused, if the tombstone is burned, I can't engrave it again......"

"We old things have begun to forget, but young people still can't remember, who will commemorate these ancestors in the future?"

As soon as he said this, the other old men also began to cry.

Yan Yu walked over, tried to support Qin Dayou, and said: "Because of this, you can't die, you are all dead, who will tell the young man about the past?" ”
