【066】Wet soil extinguishing fire
"Hurry up, hurry up!" Led by Xiong Yao, a group of clansmen pushed a cart full of wet soil and quickly ran towards the inside of the cave, with Shen Nong's previous reminder, Xiong Yao's people also told them to remember to wrap a piece of wet animal skin around their faces before they entered the cave.
"Witch!" shouted Bear Scythe as he ran, and with the help of the wet hide, the smoke did not affect his throat and nose as he spoke.
"Chief, it's all fire here. The clansmen looked around and couldn't help but say.
Now the fire has gradually spread from the original location of the ancestral fire to the outside, and many things have been burned, which has further fueled the fire.
"Wu told us to bring in this wet dirt, it must be to extinguish the flames, you leave two of you here to put out the fire, and the rest of me continue to walk inside. The bear sickle dropped a sentence and hurried to the depths of the cave without stopping.
A hundred steps away in an instant, through the thick smoke miasma, Xiong Yao and the others pushed the cart to the end of the cave, and the vigorous burning ancestral fire immediately appeared in their eyes.
"Chief, why didn't you see the witch? ”
"Chief, are we really going to put out the ancestral fire?"
"Think again, Chief. ”
...
The flames of the ancestral fire were no longer limited to one area at this time, the ground in this area was full of flames, so hot that people felt like they were in a furnace, and there was not even a place to put their feet, and it was obvious that the fire could not be controlled by normal methods.
Xiong Sickle gritted his teeth and shouted very decisively: "Extinguish the fire!"
As a large amount of wet soil fell into the source of the ancestral fire, the flames were reduced at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it was only a matter of time before the distance was completely extinguished.
Every clansman who pushed the cart couldn't help crying, his eyes were full of tears, this is the ancestral fire that the Huangqiu tribe has been burning since it was founded, and then it has been passed down to the present, but now it has been extinguished alive by them, and the ancestral fire has been lost, and the Huangqiu tribe may never have real warriors in the future.
Xiong Yao's mood is also very heavy, because this is his own order, from today on, he is the sinner of the Huangqiu tribe, but in order to keep all the things stored in the cave, and keep the cave on which the Huangqiu tribe depends, he still resolutely decided, this fire must be extinguished!
When all the wet soil on the cart was poured into the ancestral fire, the ancestral fire of the tribe that had been burning for hundreds of years was finally reduced to a white smoke and completely dissipated in the world, and the flames that spread out around it were also extinguished by the tribesmen of the Huangqiu tribe one by one, and the fire was finally stabilized.
However, after such a long time, everyone did not find Shen Nong's figure at the scene, which couldn't help but make the hearts of all the clansmen anxious, and they hurriedly began to shout loudly.
The smoke was so thick that even though the fire had been extinguished, the smoke from the remaining charcoal and the like could not completely dissipate for a while, and everyone's view was obscured by the smoke.
"Wu, where are you?" Xiong Sickle also searched in a hurry.
"Ahem, don't even scream, save some effort. At this moment, Shen Nong's voice suddenly sounded in the thick smoke, and I saw a figure slowly walking out of the corner of the cave, he was covered with a huge animal skin, and the surface of the animal skin was all burned black, looking very embarrassed.
And under the animal skin, it was Shen Nong's face.
"Ahem..." Shen Nong covered his mouth and nose with one hand, but with the other hand he was carrying a half-arm-long wooden stick, and at the end of the stick, there was a faint flame burning.
"I said you were moving too slowly, you almost didn't suffocate me. Shen Nong threw the animal skin on his body to the ground.
"Wu, we have extinguished the ancestral fire...", one of the clansmen said in frustration.
Shen Nong raised the wooden stick in his hand and said, "Don't worry about the ancestral fire, isn't there a little more." ”
Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, and they all looked at the flame in Shen Nong's hand with expectant eyes, it turned out that Wu had already prepared, and the ancestral fire of their tribe was not completely extinguished, but there was still a glimmer of hope left.
"Ahem, now that the fire has been extinguished, let's all go out first, it's not good to squeeze here, Xiong Sickle, you go and rekindle the ancestral fire. Shen Nong handed the wooden stick to Xiong Sickle, and after the other party stretched out his hand and carefully took it, Shen Nong strode directly towards the outside of the cave.
The air inside the fire is absolutely different from the air outside, after Shen Nong walked out of the cave, he immediately couldn't help but take a few deep breaths, which relieved some of the choking inside the chest, and when he saw Shen Nong come out, several clansmen immediately ran over with soaked animal skins and handed them to Shen Nong.
"Wu, wipe it. ”
Shen Nong nodded, wiped his face casually, and then walked to the rock next to him and sat down to rest, while at the same time, he was also reminiscing about the pictures he had seen in his dream before.
After the bud melted into his forehead, Shen Nong fell into a deep sleep directly at that moment, and in his sleep he saw a lot of pictures that did not belong to his memory, these pictures had never been seen even before him, as if someone had instilled his memories into Shen Nong's mind.
And when Shen Nong woke up, he found that he didn't know when he was lying on the ground, and the fire that had been blown by himself before had re-grown again, and many flames had already burned to his side.
"I originally thought that the ancestral fire was just an ordinary flame that had been burning for many years, but now it seems that this is not the case, there seems to be a mysterious power hidden in the ancestral fire, otherwise there is no way to explain what flower buds will erupt from the inside of the ancestral fire, and it can also make me fall into a coma for a short time. Shen Nong said holding his chin.
According to the memory at the time, there seemed to be a statue in the ancestral fire, and Shen Nong himself didn't care too much about it at that time, but now that he thinks about it, it is very suspicious.
"The ancestral fire has been completely covered with wet earth, and it seems that we can only wait for the smoke in the cave to clear, and then find someone to dig up the statue again. Shen Nong said in his heart.
The cave inhabited by the people of the Huangqiu tribe is relatively deep, and it is not possible to complete the smoke in a short period of time, so before that, the tribesmen in the tribe can only live on the grass outside the cave for the time being.
"It's really unfortunate, this kind of thing happened in our tribe just after there was a water source, and even the ancestral fire was extinguished. One of the clansmen looked at the smoking cave and suddenly said coldly.
