Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 5 Fighting the Fire
It was getting dark and the temperature was getting lower after the sun went down.At this moment, Qiu Tianxing felt a gust of cold wind desperately piercing into his neck.Everyone stopped singing, and walked forward step by step with their necks curled up and their sleeves wrapped around.

"Sneeze!" A team member sneezed, and suddenly a stream of yellow snot flowed down his nose.He wiped it with the back of his hand, then wiped it all over his body.Then he turned his head and asked Qiu Tianxing.

"Boss, when will we arrive in Yingshan County? It's almost dark. If we don't arrive, we should find a place to sleep, otherwise people will freeze to death in the wilderness this day."

"Li Danian, keep at it, the front is almost there." Qiu Tianxing said to Li Danian, resisting his exhaustion.

Then, Qiu Tianxing took a deep breath and encouraged the players around him loudly.

"Brothers, work harder! We are almost there! After arriving at Yingshan, we can have a full meal and take a hot bath! Brothers, do you agree?"

"it is good!"

There were sparse echoes from all around.

Seeing everyone's listless appearance, Qiu Tianxing thought in his heart.

"Sure enough, in the face of material things, spiritual strength is still incomparable! And this small team does not have such strong spiritual strength. It seems that we should find food and a place to live early, otherwise, this cold weather is really going to happen. Frozen to death."

At this time, Qiu Tianxing and his group had already been walking for a whole afternoon. They walked through the deserted fields, but they didn't find any more food.The sugar cane brought at noon has been eaten up.At this time, everyone's stomachs were already gurgling.

"Feng Jing, how long before we can reach Yingshan?" Qiu Tian walked to Feng Jing's side and asked quietly.

"Boss, it's been two years since I came to Yingshan. The world has not been peaceful in the past two years, and the road to Yingshan has been destroyed. It stands to reason that we still have a half way to get there, but I always feel that the four weeks The situation is not right, it must be the wrong way!" Feng Jing scratched his hair and said with a very embarrassed expression.

Regarding Feng Jing's words, Qiu Tianxing was a little speechless.At this time, how much he longed for a compass and a map!That way maybe you won't go the wrong way.

I had no choice but to keep going.If you can find a place to stay, it's good, if you can't find it, then there's nothing you can do, what should I do?

Just like that, the sky gradually darkened, and the big guy walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow.There is no food, no drink, no tents and quilts to sleep in the open, just keep moving forward.The lack of food, clothing and tents made some people feel betrayed, but in the end no one wanted to leave the team, because they all calmed down when they thought that one person would definitely be a death in this wilderness after leaving.

Although no one left for the time being, the complaints continued to come.

Hearing the big guy's complaints, Qiu Tianxing could only keep silent and move on.He felt that as long as he moved forward, there would always be hope.

After turning over the hills one by one, it finally got dark.Because most people have night blindness, even if they want to go at this time, they don't know where to go.Just when Qiu Tianxing didn't know what to do, a red light suddenly appeared in the sky not far away, as if something was burning.The fire light illuminated everyone's eyes and guided the direction.

"Fire! A village ahead is on fire!" Zhao Erniu, who had the best eyes, suddenly yelled loudly.

Qiu Tianxing was overjoyed for a moment, he finally saw people living there. Although the village was on fire, he could still find some leftover food!At this time, even a bag of chaff was placed in front of Qiu Tianxing, and he felt that he could eat it.

"Brothers, work harder. The village ahead is on fire, we go to help put out the fire, and they will give us food!"

Hearing this, everyone's morale was greatly boosted, and they immediately gained strength, striding forward, and the speed of the whole team picked up again.

Seeing everyone's excitement, Qiu Tianxing felt a little sad, because he still had half of the words to say.Although there may be food ahead, there may also be danger.This wild village will not suddenly catch fire for no reason.Either the Tartars came or the gangsters committed murder, and there would be danger after they left.How can a man in the thirties with his bare hands do anything better than others?

However, Qiu Tianxing was helpless.If you don't take a risk, most people may freeze and starve to death in the wild after tonight.The anti-Tartar team he had just organized disappeared in smoke.Rather than waiting slowly to die, it is better to fight to the death, this is what Qiu Tianxing thought at this time.

The road was not long, and after half an hour, Qiu Tianxing and his party finally arrived at the outskirts of the burning village.

As soon as he got close, Qiu Tianxing heard many people crying and cursing.

"Woooo! Mother! Mother, where are you?"

"Er Gouzi, Er Gouzi, hold on!"

"These bandits who killed thousands of swords! Why didn't God send thunder and fire to kill them!"

Seeing this scene, Qiu Tianxing immediately ordered.

"Fire! Go and fight the fire!"

So, the group immediately ran into the village in a swarm, some picked up agricultural tools on the ground and beat the flames desperately, and some looked for water sources everywhere to splash water.

The sudden appearance of a group of people surprised the villagers of this village, thinking that the bandits had gone and returned again, and those who reacted quickly turned around and prepared to escape.Fortunately, after seeing that this group of people came to fight the fire, they all felt relieved.Bandits will not help themselves to put out fires.

In this way, after an hour, the fire finally went out, and only half of the whole village was burned.And Qiu Tianxing's team members were already so tired that they lay directly on the ground.Fortunately, after the fire, the ground is still a little warm, at least lying on the ground is not cold.At this time, Qiu Tianxing and the others were already very hungry.He gnawed a few sugar canes without eating or drinking for a day, walked dozens of miles, and even participated in strenuous exercise to fight fires.This is really killing them.

After the fire was extinguished, some of Qiu Tianxing almost fainted.When fighting a fire, I didn't feel physically exhausted when I was very nervous, but I felt exhausted when I relaxed after the fire was extinguished.Some were lying on the ground almost falling asleep.

The people of this village are very grateful for these sudden group of people.If it wasn't for their help, the village would have been destroyed.

The villagers did not ask where these people came from, where they were going, or who they were.Instead, they dug out the hidden grains from the ground one after another, and prepared to cook porridge for the benefactors who helped them fight the fire.

The food that the bandits set fire to the village and did not take away was poured into the pot without mercy, and cooked into pots of sweet rice porridge.

After receiving the porridge bowl, Qiu Tianxing's team members scrambled to pour the rice porridge down their throats, regardless of the high heat emitted by the porridge.

Holding the porridge bowl, looking at the villagers with grateful smiles, Qiu Tianxing seemed to see the foundation of his revenge - the people!
The people's army relies on the people, not just talk, but to prove it with actions!
