Just at this moment, on the mountain behind, the fire spread in a fan shape with the help of the wind, turning the entire pine forest into purgatory.
The fire was growing bigger and bigger, and it was getting faster and faster towards the foot of the mountain.
"Zhao Wei! It's ridiculous that you only care about your head and not your butt!"
The people of Haozi Village who left behind the fire were still laughing at Zhao Wei.
It will be soon. As long as the fire falls on the haystack, under such dry conditions, it will only take a very short time to ignite the place.
The place where they were at this moment was the drying ground in the village.
This place also has a lot of various agricultural residues and roots left over from drying grain, as well as endless haystacks that have been pushed into several rows by humans.
If there is just a little spark, it will be the end of this place.
But how could Zhao Wei let such a terrible thing happen under his nose?
So, he moved, and pulled the slingshot long. When he was about to shoot, he didn't expect that someone would move faster than him and hit the bamboo tube directly in advance.
He watched helplessly as a stone hit the bamboo tube and then ricocheted into the face of one of the men.
The opponent was hit so hard that a red ridge appeared on his face.
This was not the end. One after another, many stones were thrown out and hit these people badly. They could not hide even if they wanted to. It was so pitiful.
Zhao Wei looked at the person using the slingshot with joy. As expected, it was the skilled young wife Yunxiu.
At this moment, there was a rare heroic look on her face, and she did not stop the action of catching the bow and hitting the stone at all.
Zhao Wei had to admit that his wife was growing too fast and was even showing signs of surpassing him.
It's not that he is really inferior to a woman, but he is too busy these days and has no time to practice basic skills.
To be honest, the human body is like this. The more diligently you practice, the more you can ensure that your body can operate under high load and face the dangers of the world with agility.
Now, the woman he had brought up had finally reached the stage where she was ready to start her career, which made him quite pleased.
Yunxiu's slingshot quickly caught these few fish that had escaped the net, and then Zhao Wei tied them up along with the evidence.
Knowing that these people were capable, he would not be stupid enough to tie them up in the traditional way.
His skill in tying people up is the most ingenious method of tying people up, but now is not the time to talk about this, he is still busy putting out the fire.
It was at this time that Lin Qinghe rushed over with a team of experts.
The expert named Yan held up a test tube filled with turbid green liquid: "We extracted the antidote from the poisonous rice seedlings, but we need manpower to detoxify it. Now there is no one. It seems that there is no way!"
"Don't worry, we will never be alone!"
After calculating the time, the person he was waiting for should have arrived.
“Master, please go to the village entrance and bring them in. Otherwise, they won’t be able to get in.”
Although Lin Qinghe didn't know who the person who came was, he knew that now was not the time to be angry with this disciple, so he quickly turned away.
As for Zhao Wei, he has been trying to arrange firefighting.
It was at this time that the fire finally reached the foot of the mountain village. Even from a long distance away, the heat wave was enough to burn people to death.
The people in the village were just a little bit away from controlling the waterproof bag.
At this critical moment, Zhao Wei remembered that he had asked people to persuade all the elderly and weak people in the village to leave, but he forgot that he still had his grandmother and grandfather at home, and his old grandfather and old lady were still there.
As for Zhao Nan, how many people can she take care of by herself?
Their house was built on the mountain, and it would probably be burned down by the fire in the first place.
At this moment, he didn't have time to say much to Yunxiu. He just asked her to pay attention to the village and not let people from Haozi Village come again, for fear that they would start a fire again.
As he got closer to home, the heat wave pounced on him like a ferocious beast. Zhao Wei looked at the approaching sea of fire and his Adam's apple rolled violently.
He had to save the old people. If something happened to them, he really would not be able to forgive himself.
The road was covered with thick smoke and choking ashes fell down.
Zhao Wei covered his mouth and nose with his clothes and walked towards the door of his house with difficulty.
At this time, the gate of the courtyard was actually open. There was some chaos in the yard, but there was no one in sight.
I think they are not stupid. If they realize something is wrong, where will they run to?
No one saw them leaving the village, so it is very likely that they would rush towards the river.
Unfortunately, who would have thought that the fire in the mountains was so strange that it actually burned towards the river.
"I must hold on!" He roared in his heart and walked faster.
After turning the corner of the mountain, Zhao Wei was shocked by the sight before him - flames had already appeared on the thatched roof not far from his old house.
Zhao Nan was holding a wooden bucket and pouring water, but it was just a drop in the bucket.
The old grandmother supported the old grandfather who had difficulty moving, and the old grandfather and the old lady supported each other as they walked towards the river. Because of their old age, they walked very slowly.
The old man couldn't stand the smell of smoke, so he kept coughing as he walked, which was an unspeakable sin.
"Hurry! Follow me!"
Zhao Wei rushed forward, carried the old man on his back, and grabbed the old grandmother's hand.
The fire, driven by the wind, engulfed the entire earth wall with a loud bang.
Zhao Nan followed closely behind, but was tripped by a fallen beam when crossing the threshold. At the critical moment, a dark shadow flashed by - it was Dahei who had somehow escaped from his guard duty, grabbed Zhao Nan's collar and dragged him out.
By the time everyone escaped to a safe area, Zhao Wei was sweating profusely.
He looked at his home engulfed in flames, his eyes welling up with tears, but he had no time to feel sad because the fire was already approaching the isolation hose at the entrance of the village.
At this time, Lin Qinghe hurried over with a team of people, there were as many as two hundred people.
After all, something like a wildfire in Yushudun could be seen even in a small town far away.
"These are the rescuers from town!"
Lin Qinghe shouted, panting.
Those people hurriedly said: "We are just the first to arrive, there are still many people behind us, everyone must hold on!"
The leader quickly directed everyone to get busy.
Hope lit up Zhao Wei's eyes and he immediately organized the villagers to divide the work.
"Women and children are responsible for passing buckets of water, while young and middle-aged people put out the fire!"
As these people joined in, the river water rushed towards the fire scene like a silver dragon.
However, the fire was so fierce that as soon as one fire was put out, another one would reignite.
What’s worse is that the people from Mouse Village are still wandering around the edge of the village.
