It was late at night, the mountain wind was strong, and a forest fire was about to cut off all our retreats.

Once the fire rags and burns, all the living things in the mountains and forests will be reduced to ashes, and we will be buried here along with countless secrets.

Hei Niu and Gao Moli also knew how devastating this fire was.

The black bull said with a frightened face: "Damn, it seems that the mountain god is lonely!" Want to leave us here! I knew that I was going to be roasted into a suckling pig, and it was better to be scalded to death in the lake just now. ”

I laughed at myself: "As the saying goes, the plan of life, the randomness of death!" Who would have thought that things would have developed to such an extent! We have escaped a thousand difficulties and dangers, and we are about to break out of the mountains and run to a free city life, but we will suffer another disaster! ”

The animals in the mountains and forests seemed to have a premonition of the impending disaster, and they were in a commotion, and the birds and beasts were singing one after another, and the wild beasts fled as if they were frightened. At this time, the unknown mountain bird landed on the trees around us, and its cry sounded particularly insightful!

The patriarch and the white bear were waiting in the distance with Gu Yixin, and they didn't know if the fire island had broken just now and affected them. We must rush over and join them at once, and then flee out of the mountains together.

Before I could speak, Gao Moli said, "It's too late, you go first." He pointed to the top of the mountain and added, "There is a river behind this mountain, and you can go down the river and walk out of the mountain in three or five days." There are too many forks in the river, so pay attention. ”

With that, he walked towards where the patriarch and Gu Yixin were.

I chased after me, and the black bull didn't stop me. I said: "How can I escape from the battle, I take care of my own life first, and if I want to leave, I have to pick up the old patriarch and Gu Yixin and they go together!" ”

Gao Moli showed a rare look of warmth and anger, motioned to the black bull to pull me away, and said to me instead, "I will send her out for you." ”

The black bull spread his hands and signaled that there was nothing he could do with me, and Gao Moli couldn't resist me, so he had to speed up his pace and go to meet the patriarch.

After more than ten minutes, we found the patriarch, who was hiding in a cave, and not far away a huge red rock had fallen, roasting the surrounding area to a hot fire. There were five or six carcasses of wild wolves at the entrance of the cave, and although these wild wolves were strong, they all had their skin and flesh open, and they died in a miserable state. The ground was stained with blood, and even the smell of blood was in the air, and it is conceivable that during the time we were away, they had a very uneasy time.

The white bear was licking the wound on his leg, and when he saw us coming back, he stepped forward and lowered his head and rubbed it against Gao Moli, who reached out and patted its head.

The black bull kicked the corpse of the wild wolf and sighed: "Our Dabai is really brave!" Even the ferocious wolves have killed a single piece of armor! ”

The trees around the crimson rocks began to smoke, and it looked like they would be burning in the blink of an eye. At the moment, they didn't dare to stay longer, and everyone climbed towards the top of the mountain together. We are going to go around the top of the mountain and look for the great river that flows beyond the mountain, as Gao Moli said.

After climbing for more than ten minutes, I suddenly heard birds singing overhead, and a group of mountain birds flew into the air with a scream. When I was surprised, I saw a sudden light behind the mountain, and suddenly the fire soared into the sky, and the birds flying into the air were instantly swallowed up by the tongue of fire!

"It's broken! The back of the mountain is also on fire! I shouted in panic.

The black bull looked around, but saw that the surrounding mountains and forests were full of fire, and he scratched his head anxiously and said, "Brothers, there is no way to escape!" Damn, only God can save us now......"

The old patriarch trembled with fear, he knelt on the ground, bowed in the direction of the center of the lake, and muttered an incomprehensible language, I thought, it should be the incantation of the ancient Dian kingdom when praying.

Suddenly, several deafening thunderbolts sounded in the air one after another, we were startled, and quickly looked up, only to see the dark clouds rolling in the sky, the lightning in the clouds, and the rain fell from the sky in an instant, and the rain was extremely violent, as if directly pouring the water of the heavenly river to the world!

The black bull's eyes widened: "God has appeared?" With that, he took out the jade Guanyin pendant hanging around his neck and kissed him a few times.

The old patriarch was also extremely excited, and kowtowed in the direction of the center of the lake.

The nervousness on Gao Moli's face suddenly subsided a lot, and he looked at the surrounding mountains with a calm face.

Although the fire points in the mountains and forests are dense, fortunately, the fire is not large, and it has been doused by the fierce rain, and some have been extinguished.

I know that this sudden heavy rain is not a blessing from the heavens, but an inevitable consequence of this catastrophe: the sudden release of geothermal heat at the bottom of the lake raises the temperature of the water surface and strengthens evaporation. Heavy precipitation occurs when evaporation creates a strong updraft, which causes a sudden increase in water vapor saturation in the clouds. This is the same reason that earthquakes are usually followed by heavy rainfall.

I didn't explain the reason, but I thought to myself, it might be more appropriate for them to think that all this was providential.

It rained so hard for a whole day and a night. During this time, we hid in the cave, adjusted and rested, and slept in the dark.

When the rain stopped, it was early in the morning. We walked out of the cave and looked around, and the fire had long since been extinguished.

The morning sun has not risen, the mountains and forests are verdant, and the world in front of you seems to be reborn. The sound of the flowing mountain springs tinkling, and the occasional birdsong passed by the ears, and everything around me seemed beautiful. We climbed over the mountain as we had planned and found the mountain river that led to the outside world.

The river grew suddenly due to the torrential rains, and roared and rushed between the two mountains with tree branches. We tied a raft with tree trunks and rattan and prepared to take it down, which saved time and made it much easier and safer.

The Black Bull gave this simple, but sturdy raft a household name: Noah's Ark.

This name is a good expression of the joy of the rest of our lives.

I wanted to take the old patriarch to a small town outside the mountains or simply bring him back to Beijing, but he said that he would not leave the mountains. Perhaps, for a person who has lived in the mountains all his life, it is difficult for him to integrate into human society.

The old patriarch pointed to a wooden house on the opposite side of the mountainside and said, "When I used to hunt, I used to live there, and there was everything. Wow, I'll live there in the future. ”

Gao Moli touched the white bear's head and patted its arm again, which meant that it should stay in the mountains with the old patriarch.

With the care of the white bear, the old patriarch should be safe in his old age.

The black bull walked up to the white bear and clenched his fist in order to say goodbye to it. The white bear probed to look at the black bull's fist hand, and seemed to understand the meaning, bent his front paws, and touched the black bull's fist with the back of his claws.

"Gotcha! Dabai is smart! The mountains are high and the rivers and rivers are long! Let's say goodbye, one day, brother, I will come back and have a drink with you! With that, the black bull pushed the raft into the water.

The rushing river pushed the raft forward, and Gao Moli jumped onto the raft, and I jumped on it too.

The old patriarch knelt down on the riverbank with a puff, choked up and shouted, "King Dian take care!" ”

Tears welled up in my eyes, and I knelt down on the raft and bowed to him from afar!
