Bai Xizhu sniffed, frowned, and leaned out the car window to look outside.
Outside, there were lush green flowers, trees, and shrubs everywhere, and there was no sign of fire.
This indicates that the fire is still quite far away.
"Yes, a little."
Bai Zhengxuan also frowned.
This area is all farmland and woodland. At this time of year, the wheat is not yet ripe and is still green, not like it's about to catch fire.
And the closest village to this area is Baiyang Village.
As the bus drove on, the acrid smell in the air grew stronger.
"Grandpa, is that our village up ahead?"
From afar, Bai Yifan could see a patch of scorched earth ahead.
Beneath the scorched earth, some broken walls and ruins can be faintly seen.
Houses collapsed, and the ground was scorched yellow.
I didn't see any fire or smoke.
The fire did not start today.
From a distance, it was a charred black mass, and a strong smell of burning filled the air.
The fire has been extinguished, but the lingering smell is still incredibly pungent.
"Drive faster!"
Bai Zhengxuan's heart skipped a beat, and he looked flustered.
There weren't many things that could be burned in the village; most of the houses were made of cement tiles, so there shouldn't have been such a large fire.
Even the road surface was scorched yellow; it's hard to imagine what the villagers are going through.
Bai Yifan knew his grandfather was anxious, so the bus sped up dramatically.
The closer you get to the village, the more you can see its dire state.
The entire village was charred black, and the ground was baked to a golden-brown color.
The intense black char was so striking, it seemed to have been burned to its extreme.
Bai Xizhu's brows were furrowed very deeply.
This doesn't look like a fire; it looks more like someone is using a flamethrower to slowly scorch every inch of the land.
A normal fire shouldn't have scorched the ground so much, even when there was no burning material!
