These children immediately ran home and took out the meat skewers, fish and shrimp at home, gathered at the gate of the community and went to the back mountain.

This community is located on the southern slope of the mountain, and is not the entrance and exit location of the mountain. The back of the community is surrounded by a fence of thistles and terrestris, so you can only walk around. About five or six hundred meters away, there is a junction into the mountain, and every summer time, nearby residents come here to pick mushrooms, and in normal seasons, there are no people at this junction.

Several twelve or thirteen-year-old teenagers entered the mountains unimpeded, April and May is the season when the grass and trees sprout vigorously, the mountains and forests are covered with dead grass and miscellaneous branches, and the dead branches are kicked away everywhere the teenagers go, and the branches are torn off, and they are rampage like a group of tigers and wolves returning to the mountains.

As soon as he entered the mountain, a young man at the bottom of the mountain proposed: Let's be here, closer to home.

The rest immediately rejected him: climb a little higher, so low and boring!

Half an hour later, the teenagers hummed and climbed halfway up the mountain, and the two teenagers felt tired: "Let's play here." ”

"Go up a little more!" Another teenager commanded, "It's more fun to be taller." ”

After walking for about five minutes, a few teenagers finally stopped, the trees on the mountainside are not as dense as the trees under the mountain, there are often mountain fires in the mountain forest for various reasons, resulting in hundreds of years of trees being burned and scorched, many trees are newly planted by later generations, but the youngest trees are also more than ten years old, the seasons alternate, the leaves are yellow and fall and sprout again, year after year, the trees in the mountain forest are thick dead leaves, and there are many dead branches.

The boys carved out a flat place, built a boxy stove with stones in a decent manner, grabbed a large handful of leaves and threw them into it, the wind was very strong, and many of the leaves were blown away by the wind, and several children pulled over a large pile of leaves with their hands, and picked up a lot of dead branches.

A teenager took out an iron skewer, and several children skewered meat, fish, and shrimp onto the skewers.

Everything is ready, only the ignition is missing.

Several teenagers all took out a lighter from their pockets and competed with each other to light the fire.

A timid teenager was a little worried: "With such a strong wind, it won't set the mountain on fire, right?" ”

"Hahaha, we're famous, didn't you see the Great Khing'an Mountains on fire? A mountain as big as the Great Khing'an Mountains has not burned out for several days, and we are fine here, at most it will be extinguished after one day at most. The teenagers were babbling about how far away and impossible such a thing was for them.

As soon as the lighter was on fire, it was blown out by the wind, and several teenagers gathered in a circle, blocking the wind, and finally lit the leaves, and the flames quickly ignited the dry leaves, and a puff of smoke crackled in the small stone walled city, and the smoke quickly dissipated, and the red and yellow flames licked the dry leaves frantically by the wind.

At first, the teenagers only filled it with a small number of leaves and dead branches, but it quickly burned out, so they kept adding branches and grass to it.

The teenagers were so excited that their little faces turned red, and the fish and meat in their hands were roasted on the fire, and the fish made a sizzling sound, and the teenagers were so excited that they shouted loudly.

A gust of wind blew, blowing a section of burning branches and some leaves that were on fire, these burning fires quickly ran into the woods, the hula flames burned quickly, several teenagers chased these fires to extinguish them, but the leaves and rotten wood on the ground that had been silent for more than ten or twenty years, or even decades, were waiting for the arrival of this fire.

The wind seemed to be stronger, and the fire in the forest burned brightly, and with the sound of the whirring wind, it quickly burned to the western slope.

The teenagers stared blankly at the fire in front of them, and several teenagers burned their hair in a hurry to extinguish the fire in the stone.

The timid boy cried in fright, and the others also looked at each other in horror, and one of the teenagers shouted, "Run!" I can't say if I go back and kill me! ”

The teenagers who had caused the catastrophe ran home as fast as they could.

The west slope is the intersection of tourists climbing the mountain, and the tourist attractions are concentrated on the west slope. There are also many local residents who go up to the mountain to dig wild vegetables during this season, and it is a weekend, and there are many people who climb the mountain to play.

Although it is not a famous mountain, it is also very high and steep, and the way up the mountain is made of stone steps, so it is not difficult to climb the mountain.

Xiao Yi and Mei Xue climbed halfway up the mountain with the crowd, and a seemingly smoky smell of fire penetrated into Xiao Yi's nostrils: "Is there a fire somewhere?" Xiao Yi looked around and saw no traces of fireworks.

Mei Xue also smelled it: "It's the smell of fire." ”

The smell of smoke grew louder and louder, and all the tourists stopped and looked around, and everyone looked confused.

Following the direction where the smell of smoke came from, Xiao Yi saw the shape of smoke far away to the east: "It's not good, that place is on fire, and the fire will burn here soon by borrowing the wind." ”

Mei Xue didn't believe it: "How can you say that the fire is on fire?" "I saw the smoke in the distance quickly rolling towards this direction.

The tourists all shouted in panic when they saw the danger in the distance that was rapidly sweeping over.

Xiao Yi shouted loudly: "Don't panic, everyone! After a while, the smoke will come, quickly wet your towel or clothes with mineral water to cover your mouth and nose, and quickly go down the mountain, don't climb up! ”

People were already panicking, Xiao Yi began to block the mountain one by one, and there were many tourists running in the direction of the West Mountain, Mei Xue shouted hoarsely: "Don't run with the wind, come back quickly, run down the mountain!" ”

Many tourists brought their children to climb the mountain, and the children were so frightened that they cried.

Xiao Yi and Mei Xue's shouts finally worked, and many people no longer only cared about running for their lives, but also joined in to help guide everyone to evacuate.

Xiao Yi pulled Mei Xue while directing everyone to retreat down the mountain with him, retreated for a while, and looked back to see that half of the mountainside was already shrouded in smoke! A strong smell of smoke filled the air, and soon the sound of a rushing fire engine could be heard down the hill.

Xiao Yi took everyone to the safety of the mountain, the tourists were panicked and talked about the mountain fire, the city's fire trucks were all dispatched, once the mountain fire was ignited, it was quite difficult to extinguish, and the firefighters needed to form a team to carry the fire extinguishing equipment, climb to a distance near the fire point on the mountain, and light a fire around the fire point, burn it out and extinguish it again, forming an isolation zone, so as to effectively prevent the spread of the mountain fire.

Firefighters are the hardest and most dangerous profession, and teams of several people set out to stop wildfires.

The armed police also arrived at the scene and quickly evacuated the trapped people to the mountain. A cordon was put up on all sides, and the crowd was not allowed to go up the hill any further.

The tourists did not leave, they all gathered and watched at the bottom of the mountain, and many of the tourists who climbed more than half the hill did not retreat, and nervousness, anxiety, and worry shrouded the hearts of everyone at the bottom of the mountain.

Two hours later, the armed police in Soushan successively carried down several local women and a child. This is a local resident who digs wild vegetables from the southwest slope of the mountain, takes his children up the mountain to dig wild vegetables to play on the weekend, and when the smoke overflows, he did not have time to run away, he was shrouded in smoke and lost his direction, and he was lying halfway up the mountain, and was found by the firefighters who fought the fire and notified the armed police who searched the mountain, and several people had no vital signs when they were carried down.

The ignorant and outrageous actions of a few teenagers took several lives in an instant. At that time, no one knew how the wildfire started.

The few lifeless bodies show how small and helpless human beings are in the face of the merciless fire.

The doctor examined the victims, shook his head, covered them with a white cloth and carried them to the car.

Some of the onlookers wept and shed tears of sympathy for the unfortunate.

A few hours later, the tourists were evacuated to the bottom of the mountain by the armed police, the red flames have been ignited in the middle of the mountain on the south slope, spreading from south to west in a zigzag shape, and several flame retardant points on the southwest slope have been formed, just wait for the mountain fire to spread, and no combustibles will slowly extinguish themselves.

Hundreds of fire trucks have been urgently called from various cities, distributed in every corner of the foot of this mountain, and more than a dozen fire trucks are on standby in nearby residential areas, ready to evacuate nearby residents if the wildfire cannot be controlled.

Xiao Yi and Mei Xue discussed it, and found a nearby hotel to live in, once the mountain fire can't be controlled, one more person will have more strength.

When night comes, the hotel is on the south slope of the mountain, only to see the red flames on the mountainside are still burning, and the flames are charming and dazzling colors under the darkness of the night, jumping and stretching.

The fire burned for two days and two nights before it was slowly extinguished, except for the few women killed and an eight-year-old child, the rest of the dozen or so were coughing violently from the smoke, but fortunately there were no casualties.

Once the fire has been extinguished, the next step is to find out the cause of the fire.

It was a northeast wind that day, and the source of the fire was easily found, and next to the 'stove pit' surrounded by stones, a large bag of fish and meat that had already smelled, and some skewered meat skewers were scattered on the ground, and two lighters were left at the scene.

Looking back along this mountain road, I asked some nearby residents, this mountain road is rarely visited except for mushroom picking in summer, and it happened that several teenagers were clamoring to go to the mountain to eat barbecue on the day of the fire.

In this era of rapid online communication, a fire killed several people and a poor child, and the news spread all over the streets on the same day, and people sighed and saddened while the rest was anger, who lit this deadly fire?

Of course, the parents of the teenagers did not know that their children had committed a heinous disaster, and when the police came to the door, they were still in the dark, and several teenagers shivered and hid behind their parents, who were usually busy with work and neglected to discipline their children, and the teenagers were like wild horses that had escaped from the leash.

A child of three or five years old knows that you can't just light a fire, let alone these teenagers?!

"These children have committed such a big crime at a young age, and they have taken several lives, I wonder what their future lives will be like?!" Mei Xue said bitterly: "Ignorance is terrible! ”

Xiao Yi gritted his teeth: "For them, maybe this is a bloody lesson, and when they grow up to kill people with knives, can you tell which is more important?" You never know what such a child will not dare to do when he grows up?! ”
