There is a little cute baby in the family, fleeing famine is not enough to get rich and busy

Chapter 38

"What's the matter? What's the matter?"

The village head was also so frightened that his heart beat faster, and he was supported by his eldest grandson and quickly walked towards the men who ran back.

The man running in the front pointed to the direction down the mountain and said out of breath, "Fire, the fire is coming up!"

"What?"

The village chief's eyes darkened and he passed out.

The stimuli came one after another, his body really couldn't bear it.

Several old people present couldn't stand the stimulation, and fainted one after another.

In an instant, the scene was chaotic.

Qi Zheng still held his breath and hurriedly asked his second grandson to find his sons.

Soon Qi Quanjin and Qi Ercai came back. When they came back, they saw the fallen people and the crying women. They were all dumbfounded.

"What's the matter?"

Quan Quanjin hurried to his parents.

My father hasn't fainted yet, but his face is ugly, and he is not far away from fainting.

My old lady was also crying, not crying out loud, but she was crying with her arms around Man Bao'er, crying so much that the little guy kept wiping her grandma's tears.

Oh, my daughter is still the best.

As soon as he felt happy in his heart, Quan Quanjin was woken up by his father's words.

"Fourth, we old guys are useless, you hurry up and run with the young people in the village to the back of the mountain, the sooner the better!"

"What?"

Quan Quanjin was at a loss: "Father, what nonsense are you talking about? We all ran here, so we must be fine."

"Fart! The fire is on fire, if you don't run away, no one will be able to escape."

Because Qi Zheng was too anxious, he coughed violently as soon as he finished speaking.

Quan Quan stood up suddenly and looked down the mountain.

No flames were seen, but the smoke was much thicker than before.

Did it really burn up?
Quan Quanjin's heart was pounding, and he hurriedly greeted everyone: "Don't cry, hurry up and carry all the fainted old people on your back, let's get out of here as soon as possible!"

"Don't go."

Qi Manman's voice suddenly sounded.

Wiping grandma's tears, Qi Manman said, "Daddy, don't go, it's raining."

"rain?"

Quan Qijin raised his head subconsciously, only to see that the cloudy weather, which was still slightly blue, turned into overcast clouds at some point.

Everyone was only concerned about the smog below the mountain, but no one paid attention to the changes in the weather.

"Father, look, it's going to rain, we just need to hide in the cave and we'll be fine!"

Qi Qijin also knew that it was impossible to run faster than the mountain fire with so many old people.

But let him throw all these old people here to die, he can't do it.

Qi Zheng has already looked up to the sky.

The dense clouds were so thick that they seemed to be pressing down.

"Then, help send everyone to the cave! If you can live, you can live. If you can't, then we will die together. There is also a caretaker on Huangquan Road!"

Qi Zheng sighed.

The others had already heard what Quan Jin said, and moved the elders of each family to the cave one after another.

The stench in the cave was really bad.

But in order to live, no one is in the mood to care about these.

The hole is not too wide, it can accommodate two men walking side by side.

After entering, there is a turning only three or four meters away, and the curvature is not too big. Go around and walk another seven or eight meters, which is only the width of one and a half people.

After walking through this narrow road, we entered a relatively spacious cave.

It is about three meters high and covers an area of ​​about one hundred and twenty-three square meters.

The walls and the ground are made of uneven stones, which look better than the flat ground outside.

At this time, the women working in the cave had already lit two fires, and wormwood was added to the fires. Although there was a lot of smoke, the smell of wormwood covered some of the stench.

"Why did you come in? It's not packed yet!"

The eldest daughter-in-law of the village chief looked surprised.

"The fire is burning, and it's going to rain outside again, so let the big guys come in first. Just put the dirty things back and throw them out, and let the rest go!"

The eldest son of the village chief's family led the way in, carrying the village chief behind his back.

Hearing this, all the women who were busy in the cave lost their composure, but they still worked quickly.

Sweep the black bear's feces into the dry grass where it lies, and throw it out.

One of the fires was extinguished, leaving only the middle one for lighting and heating.

There is no way to fit everyone in a space of [-] to [-] square meters. Everyone can only hold on to the elderly and children, and then the women of each family.

As for the men in the village, they sat in the aisle.

Qi Quanjin and Qi Ercai sat at the entrance of the cave, and even Qi Zheng stayed behind.

Everyone's wooden carts were placed in the open space, and all luggage was placed outside except for things that were afraid of water.

There is no way, the cave is not big, and there is really no way to put so many things down.

Qi Quanjin and Qi Ercai supported Qi Zheng just to sit down. Before the two of them sat down, they heard a loud click outside, followed by another rumbling thunder.

Before everyone could recover from the sound of thunder, heavy rain like a waterfall slanted down.

A gust of mountain wind blows from outside the cave, bringing in some drizzle.

Qi Zheng saw it, and immediately greeted him: "Second brother, third child, you two light it inside, and then lift the oil paper higher, so you don't catch a cold in the rain."

Not to mention the current situation, even if you are at home, it will kill you if you catch the wind and cold.

Quan Quanjin responded, and said to his second brother: "Second brother, let's take turns holding the oiled paper! I will hold it up first, and you sit down and press down with your feet."

"Row."

Qi Ercai had no objection.

Seventy-eight out of ten of the cave was covered by oiled paper, and the remaining uppermost point could not be covered.

Fortunately, there are not many rain flowers blowing in, so don't worry about it.

It rained for two full hours.

For two hours, Quan Quanjin and Qi Ercai switched shifts back and forth, and later Qi Zheng also helped lift for a while.

When there was finally no sound of rain outside, Quan Quanjin took off the oiled paper, and a chill mixed with water vapor rushed over his face, mixed with a little smoke and fire.

Qi Zheng hurriedly asked Qi Ercai to help him out of the cave, and the first thing he did was to look down the mountain.

Seeing this, Qi Zheng couldn't help but gasp.

The villagers who followed them all looked down the mountain.

Before, I was always worried that the mountain fires would burn up, and worried that the mountain rain would not extinguish those mountain fires.

After waiting for a long time, the mountain rain still fell again, and they didn't smell any smoke from the cool wind blowing in from outside, so they were relieved.

When the mountain rain stopped, they rushed out with hope.

Although the village was burned, as long as the green hills are still there, they can find a way to rebuild the village.

But now... everything is ruined.
