Chapter 404

On the Loess Plateau in the twelfth lunar month, the wind is not strong but there are many, and the blowing is messy and there is no sense of direction at all.

It was originally a northwest wind, but after turning around along the ridge and the bottom of the ditch, it suddenly became a southeast wind, and then blowing forward through a mountain depression, it immediately became a southwest wind.

The fire at the opposite grave became like a psychopath in such a messy wind, turning left and right for a while.

The two people from Ma Yuanhai's family who went to the grave were looking at the outside of the cemetery leisurely, but when they saw the fire suddenly burning into the field above, they suddenly became panicked and ran to the field above.

When I ran to the field above, the whole field had already started to burn. What was frightening was that the field was deserted, and the weeds in the field were connected together.

The two first put out the fire with their hands holding soil, but seeing no effect, they immediately started to step on it with their feet like Du Heng, but they didn't want the fire to be so fierce that they almost got involved.

The two people who escaped by chance may have been woken up by the fire, so they immediately took off their coats and began to extinguish the fire with a circle.

The effect is still there. After the unremitting efforts of the two, the fire on the edge of the ground did not burn into the ground, and it was about to be extinguished.

But when the two of them breathed a sigh of relief and looked down at the cemetery, they were dumbfounded.

The flames that were still rolling towards the upper side of the ground just now have already turned around and burned along the left side of the cemetery, and the three or four fields on the left are all wasteland.

Further to the left is the mountain area where the mountain has been closed for 20 years.

The range of more than 100 meters here is all grassland, only thick withered grass, and at the col, there are patches of blackthorn forest.Going up over the ridge, there are patches of yellow birch forests; on the back of the mountain, there are patches of dense forests of miscellaneous trees, the kind that stretches over four or five hills.

It's okay if the front burns up, but it's a big deal to lose some money.

But once it burns to the back, it is estimated that it can be shot.Even if they were not shot, the dense forest stretching over four or five hills would not be able to pay for the bankruptcy.

The old man panicked, and left a sentence to the young people around him, "You put out the fire above", and then jumped down with his clothes riddled with holes. He got up and rushed towards the fire point on the left.

"Ruined."

Du Heng's heart skipped a beat when he saw the tongue of flames curling up to the ground above him from a distance.

The withered and yellow dry grass and the turbulent cold wind have not completely burned up, which is just a matter of two iron shovels.

But once it burns. . . . .Du Heng looked at the yellowish mountain on the opposite side, and his heart trembled.

Now we can only hope that the snow on the mountain can stop the spreading fire.

Du Ping also saw it, and muttered, "I told you not to go to the graves, and let you burn the graves of your ancestors, is it retribution?"

After all, he immediately took out his mobile phone and took a video in the village group, and then shouted, "Village chief, village chief, the Ma Yuan sea grave has set the mountain on fire."

After finishing speaking, Du Ping turned around and walked back, and asked Du Heng to take Du Yi back.

Seeing that the burning area was getting bigger and bigger, and the black smoke was rising more and more, how could Du Heng go back, and said to Du Yi, "Go home quickly", then turned and followed.

The two brothers trot almost all the way on Ping Road. When they ran to the grave of their own family, Du Ping took the shovel that he had just dropped.

On the way up the mountain, the consequences of Du Heng not engaging in physical labor appeared. Although he was ten years younger than Du Ping, Du Ping didn't feel it at all. He was still driving up the mountainside at a constant speed, but he was already out of breath. , sore legs.

Du Ping ignored Du Heng, and went up the mountain without looking back while carrying the shovel.

Du Heng stood still and glanced up, took a breath and rested for about ten seconds, then followed up.

But just as he started again, the phone in his pocket rang, and when he took it out, it was Dong Yuezhang's phone.

Du Heng sighed, his brother is also destined to die, as the Chinese New Year is approaching, accidents happen one after another.

And let's talk about today's matter, no matter how big the fire is in the end, he won't have a good year this year.

Civilized sacrifices and fire prevention are not proposed by the town government, but a task issued by the city government.

"Brother, is it your elder brother who reported the fire?"

"You already know?"

Dong Yuezhang was about to go crazy, he didn't have the time to talk to Du Heng, and asked anxiously, "What's the situation now?"

"Let's make a video."

Du Heng hung up the phone directly, and then immediately sent a video request, and Dong Yuezhang over there answered it in seconds.

Du Heng's location was wrong. Looking up from the foot of the mountain, the fire was obscured by the mountain and it was hard to see clearly.

However, the black smoke rising into the sky and occupying the entire screen is enough for Dong Yuezhang to know how big and wide the fire is now.

Du Heng looked at Dong Yuezhang, who had already turned black, and said nothing.

The black smoke on the screen is better than all adjectives.

And Dong Yuezhang didn't speak either. After watching for a few seconds, he hung up the video on his own initiative.

Du Heng shook his head, and after a second of 'silent mourning' for his brother, he continued to head towards the top of the mountain.

Arriving at the place in one breath, Du Heng felt that his legs were shaking, but seeing his elder brother who was already struggling to put out the fire, Du Heng took a few breaths and quickly joined in.

But he didn't have anything at hand, and just about to take off his coat, Du Ping stopped him loudly, "Don't take off your coat, come with me."

Du Heng was a little dazed, but he followed Du Ping's pace and ran forward.

Du Ping ran to the blackthorn forest [-] meters away in one breath, picked up the shovel and chopped it up. In a short time, a blackthorn branch with branches was cut down.

"Don't be dazed, take them all and beat them with this." Du Ping saw that Du Heng was in a daze, and sharply urged Du Heng to move quickly.

Du Heng snorted, quickly picked up the branch that fell on the ground, dragged it and ran towards the line of defense.

At this time, the line of fire had burned through the ground and began to spread up the hillside. What was even more frightening was that the fire started to spread upward without any surprise, and with the influence of the wind, the scope of the fire's upward spread further expanded.

As for the snow on the ground, it only slightly slowed down the spread of the fire, but it had little effect.

Ma Yuanhai and his son have turned so dark that they can't see their original appearance at all. Every time the clothes in their hands are swung up, there will be a little spark.

Moreover, judging from the movements of the two, they were already a little powerless. Such a sudden high-volume fire extinguishing had brought their physical strength close to the limit.

But they dare not stop, not even for a moment.

But the more the fire is extinguished, the more it is extinguished, the more prosperous it is, and the more it is extinguished, the larger the scope.

Fortunately, people who went to the grave in other places at this time saw the thick smoke billowing here, and when it lasted for a long time, no matter whether they could see the flames or not, they knew it was a fire, and they all rushed over here.

When Du Heng pulled over the blackthorn branch, they took it directly from Du Heng's hand.

Dong Yuezhang was really going crazy, urging the driver all the way.

Thanks to the villagers in Dujiagou, they cleared the snow on the road and made it to the place in only 6 minutes after half an hour's drive.

When the vehicle could no longer move forward, Dong Yuezhang got out of the vehicle in a hurry.

Looking up at the raging fire and thick smoke on the opposite mountainside, his face was so gloomy that he was about to drip water, while the other three people behind him, regardless of gender, dared not even breathe.

Looking at the waist-high mountain on the opposite side, the blackness after the burning fire, Dong Yuezhang narrowed his eyes, "Xiao Qi stays, and the others go up the mountain to help put out the fire."

After finishing speaking, he climbed up the mountain from the small path first, and the few people behind him, except for the woman who was at a loss in high heels, the other men immediately followed Dong Yuezhang and began to climb up the mountain.

Dong Yuezhang's physique was not as good as Du Heng's, and when they climbed halfway up the mountain, they were all panting.In this state, let alone put out the fire when we get to the place, it is estimated that we have to rescue them the other way around.

When they couldn't move and stood panting, the villagers with shovels and sticks overtook them one by one.

And everyone who passed by just glanced at these obviously leaders, then turned their heads and continued to go up the mountain.

Although the eyes of the villagers were calm, Dong Yuezhang felt deeply ashamed when he saw it.

When he turned his head and looked down the mountain, there were already dense crowds of people coming up the mountain.Among them, he saw several gray-haired old people. They carried shovels and walked on the rugged snow-covered mountain road, but they were walking on flat ground. After a few breaths, they were much closer to them.

Looking around, a group of people with tools appeared on the ridge on the left. On the ridge on the right far away, a pair of figures like ants climbed up the ridge.

Suddenly, Dong Yuezhang was discouraged. Looking at the three people around him who were worse than himself, he gave up and went up the mountain to fight the fire.

Seeing a black car galloping on the way when he came, Dong Yuezhang said in a low voice with a dark face, "Go down the mountain and go back."

shame!This is the only feeling he feels at this moment.But he can no longer go up. In this state, going up is not helping, but a disservice.

When he passed by every person who went up the mountain retrograde, he felt his face was burning, especially burning, as if the fire was roasting.

When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, the people in the black car were already waiting there with dark faces. Dong Yuezhang took a look and recognized that it was the leader of the district.

Du Heng on the mountain, his arms were so sore at this time, every time he raised his arms, he seemed to be unconscious when he lowered them again, but the fire around him was constantly burning and spreading.

When the left side is extinguished, the right side is affected; when the upper side is extinguished, the lower side is affected.

After finally extinguishing a place, he just turned around and prepared to go in another direction, but as a gust of evil wind blew by, the grass that had just been extinguished burst into flames again.

At this time, Du Heng's nostrils had the smell of plant ash, as well as the smell of roasting pig skin for his sister-in-law in the morning.

No need to look, Du Heng also knew that his eyebrows and hair should have all been killed.

The surrounding flames made people uncomfortable, and when the evil wind wrapped around them, not to mention the burning pain on the exposed skin, one or two sparks would appear from the clothes on their bodies.

What is even more difficult to resist is that when breathing, the flying plant ash enters the mouth and nasal cavity, making it difficult to breathe, and at the same time, there is a burning pain.

And the thick plant ash under the feet, mixed with the melted snow water, soaked the shoes, and the hot soles of the feet could not be placed on the ground.

Just when I couldn't hold on anymore and was about to give up, there were suddenly a lot of people around, so many that he was squeezed out of the fire-fighting team, and these people came from all directions, and there were more and more people.

Du Heng breathed a sigh of relief, and withdrew from the front line of fire fighting with his eldest brother and the Ma family father and son.
