"It's a wildfire!"

Shen Dacheng suddenly got out from under the canopy, stretched out his hand to feel the direction of the wind at this time, and his face changed instantly.

"The weather is dry and the east wind is blowing, so the fire will soon burn out."

Saying that he couldn't care about it so much, Shen Dacheng hurriedly beckoned everyone to pack up their things, and then went on the road.

"Isn't it raining now, maybe the fire will be extinguished in a moment." Some people are holding on to luck.

After a day's journey, and it rained, everyone really didn't want to move.

Hu Songbai also got up: "If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, if the mountain fire burns, everyone will have to be trapped here." ”

While a few people were talking, the rain outside had almost stopped.

In addition to the damp smell of the dirt after the rain, the air was mixed with the smell of soot.

"Manpower is very small in front of nature, and once the fire comes up, I'm afraid it's too late to run."

Shen Xinyue helped Mrs. Shen to stand up, called a few small ones and started to pack up her things.

She and Shen March are responsible for carrying the basket, Shen Yingyue and Shen April are responsible for supporting Mrs. Shen, and although Shen Jiyue and Wang Liang can't help much, they are very well-behaved and obedient.

Seeing their movements, they also began to busy collecting oilcloths and mats.

Seeing that they all took action, the people did not delay any longer.

The women sorted out their belongings, and the men began to load the mule carts with grain.

The two mules also seemed to sense the danger, and their front hooves moved restlessly.

Fortunately, some of the food was eaten in the past few days, and it was divided among the two mule carts, which was not too heavy.

After everyone packed up their things, they began to walk northeast.

Shortly after they left, the smell of smoke grew heavier in the air, and the wind was still covered in black ash.

Feeling the dust on their faces, everyone realized the seriousness of the problem.

The pace began to speed up unconsciously.

Fortunately, they came down from the top of the mountain, and the speed was not too slow.

"Ahem." The smell of smoke became heavier and heavier, and someone couldn't help but glance back, but this glance made his frightened heart almost pop out.

"Look!"

When everyone looked back, they found that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and it had spread to the place where they had stayed.

If they hadn't left in time, they would have been engulfed in fire at this moment.

I don't know whether to be happy or afraid, everyone didn't say anything more and began to concentrate on the road.

"Ahh

The night road in the mountains and forests was very difficult to walk, and it was a downhill road, and suddenly someone tripped over a stone and fell on a stone, and suddenly his knees were wet.

"It's too dark in front of you to see the road clearly, and the mule cart is not easy to control, so come over and two people to help you help." Shen Shenggen's anxious voice came, and three or four people immediately rushed over.

The mountain road, which had just rained, was slippery and difficult to walk, and it was full of fallen leaves, so it was dark and it was impossible to see whether there were rocks or large potholes underneath.

The mule cart bumped several times and almost overturned.

Shen Xinyue saw the right time to hide behind a big tree, and then quickly dodged into the space.

Inside, find the field searchlight and come out of the space.

"Yikes!"

Back in the crowd, she pretended to trip over something and screamed deliberately.

"Crescent, what's wrong?" Mrs. Shen fumbled over anxiously, for fear that something would happen to her eldest granddaughter.

"Big sister!" A few small ones also came over with a worried face: "Sister, are you okay?" ”

"I'm fine, I'm in a hurry just now and I don't know if I tripped over something."

Shen Yueyue squatted down and picked up the searchlight on the ground: "It must be the eldest sister who is harmed by this thing, so I threw it to the eldest sister to vent my anger!" ”

As he spoke, he threw out the things in his hand.

Shen Xinyue was startled, and hurriedly stopped the person: "Don't! ”

"Eldest sister, it's the one that caused you to fall, if you don't throw it away, you will definitely trip others if you keep it."

Shen Xinyue took a deep breath: "This thing is very special, you bring it over and I'll take a look." ”

Shen March didn't know why, but she still did what she said and handed her the searchlight.

Shen Xinyue took the things, and she didn't have time to do any more drama, so she directly found the switch, pressed it lightly, and a beam of light instantly illuminated the surroundings.

"It's so bright!" A few small ones screamed in unison.

Shen March: "This thing turned out to be a lamp?" It's just that there are no candles, how can they be lit? ”

Shen Xinyue: "Now is not the time to be curious, since we have picked it up, God will help, hurry up and take it to the front to show the way for the mule cart!" ”

"Big sister, I'll go!" Wang Liang took the searchlight and ran quickly to the front.

With the searchlight lighting, the situation suddenly got a lot better.

Everyone followed the light and hurried down the mountain.

At this moment, at the foot of the mountain, another team of people and horses who were hurrying had to stop because of the heavy rain.

Fortunately, the carriage had carriages, so that the ladies could be protected from the wind and rain.

And the men and their men were afflicted.

I couldn't go under the tree, so I could only shrink up and hide in the leeward side of the carriage as much as possible.

By the time the heavy rain ended, they were already soaking wet, and when the cold wind blew, they all started to swing.

"Xianggong, get in the car and warm up." Lin Juan lifted the window, and suddenly a cold wind blew in, which made her shudder.

Seeing this, Chen Xu hurriedly urged her to say: "Close the window quickly, you are pregnant, don't catch a cold." ”

He rolled up the hem of his clothes and twisted it twice, and the already soaked clothes suddenly wrung out a lot of water.

"My lord, let's go to the forest in front and see if we can pick up some firewood and come back, and when the fire is lit, our clothes will be dried and we will feel better."

Chen Xu nodded: "Go ahead." ”

Just as the subordinates went to collect firewood, the horses that had been quiet suddenly became agitated.

Afraid of disturbing his wife in the carriage, Chen Xu hurriedly took two steps forward to appease.

Just as he raised his hand, he saw a fire on the top of the mountain opposite in the distance.

It's a wildfire!

The road is lined with mountains and forests, and if the fire spreads, they will definitely be affected as well.

Chen Xu, who reacted, hurriedly turned his head and called the two family members loudly.

"Don't pick up firewood, come back quickly, let's continue on our way!"

"Brother-in-law, what's going on? My sister has a big belly now, how can she keep on the road? What if something happens? Lin Zhi passed through the carriage, and a displeased voice came.

"Xianggong, why are you in such a hurry, but what happened?"

Chen Xu tried his best to calm his tone: "Lady, it's a big fire on the mountain, but don't worry, there is still some distance from us, you sit tight, I will try to let the coachman catch up slowly." ”

At this time, the two servants also rushed back, and the coachman raised his whip and drove forward.

The fire came quickly, and it wasn't long before they could smell the smoke and the falling ash.

Although Chen Xu tried his best to make the carriage go more smoothly and steadily, seeing that the fire was approaching and the night road was already difficult, the carriage soon began to jolt violently.
