Chapter 534: Despair
The scream of the acacia reminded the black skin, and he let go of his voice and shouted, "Get up quicklyβgo and put out the fireβ"
The two of them shouted all the way to the end of the village, and as soon as they left the village, they saw the sea of fire, and the peach willow forest could not block the sight at all, because the fire started on a higher mountain, and the pillar of smoke was flying in the air with the wind. When I got closer, I felt that the fierce flames were right in front of me, and the heat wave was coming.
Huaizi turned to Heipi and shouted, "Go, call all the people in the village, ask them to pick up buckets, and come to help put out the fire." With that, he rode his horse into the woods and went straight to the side of the mountain.
The inhabitants of the hillside were already alarmed, shouting and shouting incessantly, and the beasts knew that disaster was coming, and the dogs barked, the chickens and ducks went wildly, and even the cows followed the "moo" and barked.
Huaizi saw two people running towards him, shouted "fire fighting" frantically, ran straight up, hurriedly took the reins of the horse, and ran over with them, and by the reflection of the fire, he vaguely recognized that it was the descendants of the Zheng family. He didn't have time to ask, so he went away.
The two men were overjoyed to see him, and one of them shouted, "It's my aunt who has returned." God opened his eyes, my aunt is back! β
Another person hurriedly pulled him and said, "Go and call someone." When my aunt comes back, he has to call someone to help, and he is not a god, so he can extinguish this fire alone. After saying that, he turned and ran again, and the man woke up and followed him to the village while shouting for fire.
Huaizi passed by the door of Zheng's house, only to see the door of Zheng's courtyard open, the torches in the courtyard were shining, as bright as day, and several subordinates were busy running, not knowing what they were doing.
Huaizi didn't stop, only slowed down his horse, and shouted into the yard: "Scoop up a few quilts and send them over." Fast! β
Then she rushed over, and out of the corner of her eye, she vaguely caught a glimpse of Liu Yunlan sitting in the hall of the main house, and the babies standing beside her.
He knew that Zheng Changhe and Aoki must have taken someone to Oak Garden, leaving the pregnant Liu Yunlan to take care of the family.
He blew like a gust of wind, shouted again, and was already seen by the Zheng family's descendants. Immediately, a kid ran into the house and replied to Liu Yunlan: "Madam, my aunt rode over just now, and asked to send a few quilts over." β
Liu Yunlan was wearing a thick coat and sat on a chair with a slightly bulging belly. His face was like frost, and his eyes were cold. She hugged the purple eggplant tightly with one hand, her fingers trembled slightly, and her knuckles were white, and she didn't know whether it was to comfort her daughter, or to comfort herself with her soft and warm little body.
Niuniu was putting a thin cotton blanket on her legs, and then stuffed a small fire jar under her feet. Gourds, cucumbers, green mountains, and soybeans all gathered around her, looking panicked.
Listening to the kid's words, Liu Yunlan hurriedly asked, "Really?" Xiaoliu, have you seen clearly? β
Xiao Liu hurriedly said: "I can see it accurately, although my aunt is in a hurry, I won't be wrong about that figure, and I also recognize the white horse." Besides, didn't he still shout for us to send the quilt over? β
Liu Yunlan hurriedly said, "Go quickly." Quickly scooped it up and sent it away. Hold more beds. It must be useful for my aunt to ask for this. Niu Niu, you go and scoop him. Niuniu promised to go to the next room with Xiaoliu to move the quilt.
It's good that Huaizi is back, although the fire can't be extinguished right away. But with one more person in charge, Aoki also has someone to discuss, so there are always more ideas.
Liu Yunlan remembered what Aoki said when he left, and felt that his heart was tightened, on the Zhang family's side, the life and death of the family were unknown, and he had to guard against bad people here.
Thinking of chrysanthemums, I felt uncomfortable for a while, and my stomach became uncomfortable. She hurriedly took a breath, suppressing her anxiety and irritability, she must not have an accident at this time, otherwise the family will be even more chaotic.
Zi Qi seemed to be aware of it, and hurriedly touched her mother's chest with her little hand, and looked up at her worriedly.
The gourd's little face was tense. Listening to the increasingly noisy voices outside, running and shouting, he suddenly said to Liu Yunlan: "Mother, I want to go to Oak Garden." β
Liu Yunlan sighed with a heavy face: "You are a little baby, what can you do when you go?" If something goes wrong, wouldn't it be even busier? Who cares about you at this time? β
Hulu didn't listen to his mother as usual, he said firmly: "I'll be careful." There are so many people outside, what can I do with Xiaoliu? When I get there, maybe I can do my dad some favors, run errands, shout, and it's all right. β
Qingshan couldn't help it for a long time, and immediately shouted, "I'm going too." Sister-in-law, my sister is still in Oak Garden, I ...... I'm going...... Woohoo......"
Last night, he couldn't help but feel homesick, so they didn't spend the night at his sister's house and came home. However, when I came back, I couldn't get in.
He finally couldn't help crying, and this cry, the gourd and the cucumber also wept, and the soybean and the purple eggplant wept quietly, they wanted to cry loudly, look at the mother's belly, and were afraid of annoying her.
Cucumber said to Liu Yunlan with tears: "Mother, we usually follow our father to do things, and it's not that we don't understand anything." Doesn't my aunt often say that a little baby just needs to do more things in order to learn things quickly? β
Liu Yunlan was still hesitating, but Hulu said in an unquestionable tone: "Mother, if my aunt and chestnut are not good, I am afraid that my grandparents will not be able to live." Soybeans, you take care of your mother and sister at home. The mother is pregnant with a baby, and she can't be upset. You usually have a lot of ghost ideas, let my brother see if you really have the ability, take care of the subordinates, arrange for them to carefully inspect the front and back yards, don't panic, and don't be lazy. Uncle, cucumber, let's go. β
Huang Dou wiped the tears on his face when he heard this, and said loudly: "Brother, you go." I was at home guarding the door, taking care of my mother and sister. β
The gourd didn't answer him, he had already run to the yard with the green mountains and the cucumbers.
Liu Yunlan opened her mouth, couldn't say a word, and watched the three babies follow Ma Xiaoliu and others who were carrying quilts out of the courtyard.
The three children of the gourd followed Ma Xiaoliu out to take a look, and the people outside were boiling, and people were running and calling with buckets, and they were busy rushing to Zhangjia Oak Garden. The flames that reflected half of the sky made the three little babies pretend to be stable and immediately collapsed, crying "aunt" and "sister" in their mouths, and rushed to the oak garden desperately.
Speaking of Huaizi, he rushed to the gate of the oak garden, and in the face of the monstrous fire, he only felt dizzy, he rolled off the horse, staggered a few steps, stood unsteadily, and was held by one arm: "Huaizi, you are back!" β
I don't know whose voice it is, at this time, where will he care who is who.
Not closer. It was impossible to see how fierce and raging the fire was, and the entire mountain, except for the bamboo garden, was almost overwhelmed by the fire.
At the bottom is the 50 acres of oak orchard where the Zhang family lives, and then there are 200 acres of bamboo forest. From the top of the bamboo forest to the top of the mountain, there are 400 acres of oak forest. A monstrous fire ignited in the lower half of the nearly 700 acres of dense forest, which was the Oak Garden Zhang Mansion.
The fire gradually spread to all sides, the wind helped the fire, the fire flew with the wind, and the isolation zone and firewall were completely useless. In this sea of fire, the waves of fire are churning, and there is nowhere for people to pass through.
The dozens of people who arrived first seemed so thin and weak in the face of the fire, they went around in circles, shouting and asking in vain, completely helpless.
It is Uncle Lin's house, which is also drowning in the sea of fire at the moment. But. Because they were close to the gate, the family ran out and were crying and talking about how they found out about the fire. When he found out, it was too late to call the people on the mountain, but his grandson still went up the mountain.
Aoki waved his arms and shouted wildly, shouting this to call someone, calling that to scoop the guy, and then asking someone to scoop the saw and sawing the trees around him to prevent the fire from spreading. If it's messy, it won't work immediately.
Someone earned a red face and a thick neck, picked up a load of water from the pond under the mountain, and splashed it to no avail, "Zila". It just made the flames flicker, and a puff of green smoke rose up, and it was immediately engulfed by the fire next to it.
Seeing this scene, Zheng Changhe and Yang were desperate, and cried out at the fire: "Chrysanthemum, my daughter-God." You go down in the rain, save my girl-"
The Yang mad demon rushed towards the intersection of the mountain, completely ignoring the relentless flames in front of him.
When Aoki saw it, he rushed up and hugged her, and shouted in a hissed voice: "Mother, you don't do anything like this." Dad, why are you making trouble? Go and call someone to put out the fire, save the chrysanthemum-"
Yang regained his senses a little, leaned on Aoki and cried, "How can you save such a big fire?" Aoki, don't live, mother......"
Aoki shouted: "Chrysanthemum is still waiting for us to save it, how can my mother not live!" Ahh Mother, Huaizi is back. β
Several people pounced on Huaizi, but they found that this one was even more abnormal, and stood in front of the fire for a moment, suddenly like a wounded wolf, looking up to the sky and howling: "Ah-"
He grabbed the clothes on his chest with both hands, his eyes bloodshot, and he only let out his howl, but he didn't call anyone.
Who should he call?
Father? Mother? Chrysanthemum? Chestnut, or shallot?
His father, mother, wife and children are all in there!
Huaizi was very remorseful, if he came back last night, not to mention that he could find the fire and save his family, at least he would be with his father and mother Chrysanthemum, and he would die together, how could it be like now, leaving him alone to face the fire, except for torment and crying, he couldn't think of any way.
This is more torturous than any torture, and you really can't live, you can't die.
Aoki was about to go crazy, and he punched Huaizi in the shoulder, causing him to turn in a circle: "Find a way, Huaizi!" It's called a fart! β
Huaizi stood still, his blood-red eyes open, staring at the fire and gasping, he also wanted to think of a way, but at the moment, his mind was in chaos, where could he still think about problems? He saw his father and mother and chrysanthemum leading the children running around and shouting in the yard, and seeing the chestnuts crying and wailing in despair, and his heart was numb with pain, and he turned a blind eye to everything around him.
The people from the village rushed over one after another, and Zhao San carried a bucket and yelled at Aoki and Huaizi: "Pick up water and pour it!" Sensei is like an old lady, crying can't put out the fire. Brother Changhe, hurry! β
Zheng Changhe saw a lot of people, and with a little hope and luck, he picked up a bucket on the ground and rushed to the pond.
So people flocked to the pond to fetch water, and even though the water was splashed on the fire, they still kept going back and forth, busy.
Huaizi suddenly looked at the village road, and saw Ma Xiaoliu and others rushing over with the quilt. As if he had found a savior, he rushed over and grabbed a bed of cotton wool, then stopped a man who was carrying water, and poured two buckets of water on the cotton wool, and even his body was drenched from head to toe - he had to face the fire, otherwise he would immediately freeze in the cold wind - and then rushed into the fire with the wet dripping cotton wool on his head.
