Liu Guangcai looked at the little squirrel's horror and the big squirrel's despair. His heart ached and he couldn't help but slap himself twice. Then, he said to the squirrel, "I was wrong. Don't worry and go. I'll take good care of it. If I can survive … "
With that said, Liu Guangcai placed the little squirrel in his pocket and buried the big squirrel before continuing to chop the tree.
However, Liu Guangcai quickly realized that this couldn't continue. The downwind caused the forest to burn faster than he had imagined, especially the fire on the treetops. It was burning faster than the wind! It was extremely terrifying.
Just as Liu Guangcai was about to despair, a shout sounded. "The fire is coming down. Young and old, help. Use the road to chop down those trees!"
At the same time, a familiar shout came from the chaotic crowd. "Guangcai? Daddy? "
Liu Guangcai turned his head and saw a large group of familiar faces. They were the villagers of their village. At the same time, he saw his daughter, Liu Yu, and his wife, Xia Hui.
Liu Guangcai ran over and hugged the two of them.
Liu Guangcai suddenly understood what these two people meant to him. He wasn't afraid of death, but he was afraid of losing them! They were everything to him.
"Liu Guangcai, get over here!" An angry roar sounded.
When Liu Guangcai saw that it was the village secretary, he hurriedly walked over obediently and said, "Secretary, I was wrong."
Pa!
The village secretary raised his hand and slapped him. "What can you do alone? Do you know how to put out a fire? How can you put out a mountain fire like this? You're using your own life as a joke. You don't want your family anymore?! If you die, what will happen to the orphans and widows? "
Liu Guangcai originally thought that the secretary would scold him for setting the fire, but he never expected Secretary Ao to say such a thing.
After scolding him, the village secretary said, "As for the arson, explain it to the government yourself when you return! Now, get out of here and put out the fire! "
Only then did Liu Guangcai snap to his senses. He immediately agreed and ran away with a smile.
Liu Yu chased after him and stuffed a water bottle into Liu Guangcai's hands. "The secretary said that we have to bring water when putting out a mountain fire. Otherwise, people will die. There's also a wet towel and a hat. "
Liu Guangcai took it and kissed Liu Yu's little face. Then, he rushed over energetically and joined the fire fighting army.
"Village Chief, this won't do. We still don't have enough manpower. The fire is burning too fast … "the secretary said with a frown.
The village chief said, "I've already contacted the nearby villages. They're all on their way here. This will take some time. In addition, the fire brigade is also rushing over here. They don't agree to let us extinguish the fire. Instead, they want us to help observe the fire and provide the latest information so that they can design a fire fighting plan. "
The secretary said, "They are experts. Send a few people to follow their instructions."
Village Chief asked, "Then what about the one in front of us?"
The secretary said, "They are firefighters and have the duty to put out fires. However, they can't deprive us, a group of people who rely on the mountains to save our own parents! I used to be a firefighter, and I participated in the Inner Mongolia fire. I know what to do. This mountain road was a very good isolation belt. As long as the isolation belt was widened as much as possible before the fire spread, it would definitely be able to limit the spread of the fire. Time waits for no man. We can't wait for them to come. Let's do it first! "
The village chief said, "Alright!"
At the same time, the fire brigade that entered the mountain quickly approached the fire and encountered Wei Shengli and his daughter.
"Brother, how's the situation up ahead?" the captain asked.
Wei Shengli waved his hand and shouted, "The wind is too strong, and the fire is too strong. There's not enough of you!"
"If the two of you dare to come, why wouldn't we dare? The fire is burning downwards. Let's chase after the fire and extinguish the small fires behind us. This is to prevent the wind from changing direction and burning back, "the captain said.
Wei Shengli nodded and called for another ranger to chase after the mountain fire.
Extinguishing a mountain fire was different from extinguishing other fires. It was very technical, especially a mountain fire in winter.
The firefighters were well-equipped, but even so, they only felt a wave of heat assaulting them the moment they rushed over. Their chests were scorching hot, as though they were roasted ducks on a grill.
What was worse was their backs. The cold air behind them made their backs turn cold. It was hot in front and cold in the back. Only those who had experienced it would know how uncomfortable it was. Outsiders couldn't understand it at all.
Wei Xiaolin felt so hot that she was sweating. The moment the sweat came out, it instantly evaporated. Her mouth was dry and her eyes were a little dizzy.
Seeing that the situation wasn't looking good, Wei Shengli hurriedly took out a water bottle and handed it to Wei Xiaolin. "Xiaolin, drink some water! Putting out a mountain fire requires a lot of stamina, and water evaporates quickly. You have to drink more water, or you might faint from heatstroke at any moment. "
Wei Xiaolin hurriedly drank some water. Indeed, she felt much better after drinking some water.
As for the fire brigade, they had already started working together to extinguish the fire. There were even people setting up communication equipment. There was no other way. The signal here was too bad.
Modern firefighting was like fighting a war. Without communication, it was impossible for everyone to fight on their own.
Once the equipment was set up, someone shouted from the walkie-talkie, "Everyone, no matter who you are, as long as you are a member of the firefighting team, please contact us. We will coordinate and command!"
When the firefighter heard that, he said excitedly, "The main force is here! We're saved! "
However, it had already been two hours since they entered the mountain. The sun was about to set.
Wei Shengli also noticed the situation. At the same time, his expression changed as he exclaimed, "The sun is about to set!"
The firefighter said in confusion, "So be it. Although it's more difficult to put out the fire at night, there's nothing we can do about it."
Wei Shengli stomped his feet anxiously and shouted, "That's not the problem. The mountain wind will blow back at night! Retreat quickly, or we will be swallowed by the fire! "
The firefighter jumped in fright and hurriedly informed the captain. When the captain and company heard the situation, they hurriedly ran back with Wei Shengli and company. Indeed, after running for a short while, the cold wind in front of them suddenly disappeared. Following that, a wave of heat blew from behind. The direction of the wind had indeed changed!
Previously, Wei Xiaolin had always felt that there was no danger in chasing the mountain fire. All she needed to do was drink more water.
But at this moment, Wei Xiaolin finally understood what danger Wei Shengli had been talking about. The mountain fire was terrifying, but the wind was even more terrifying! The world was unpredictable, and the winds and clouds were ever-changing. No one could predict what would happen in the next moment. Danger could descend from the sky at any moment.
