At this time of internal and external troubles, the more critical the moment, the more we must maintain stability.
Zhao Wei cannot mess up. If he does, then the village may really be finished.
He divided the people in the village into several groups, each with their own responsibilities and helping each other.
Those who came to rescue were also arranged to the front, so that every person's presence could be utilized.
At this moment, they not only have to survive, but also defend their homes, otherwise they will lose everything.
Zhao Wei, along with two militiamen, found the old grandmother and the others and evacuated them downstream.
When he left, he saw the old and weak people in the village standing there helplessly looking at him.
He couldn't help feeling sad.
"Don't worry, everyone. Everything will be fine."
"Believe me, no matter how big the difficulty is, we can overcome it!"
…
These people waved at him with red eyes.
"President, please come back soon. The village can't do without you!"
"You have to be safe. We are all counting on you!"
…
Amidst numerous warnings, Zhao Wei walked quickly and soon arrived at the scene of the fire.
The fire was still quite fierce at this time and was very close to Zhao Wei's home.
Fortunately, he had dug canals in front of and behind his house, mainly for the convenience of using water.
Now, this water can temporarily protect a few, but if it lasts for a long time, I am afraid it will be unbearable.
If it could rain heavily now, perhaps this disaster could be resolved instantly.
Now, we really rely on this river to relieve the taste buds. Just transporting the river water is enough to make people exhausted.
Far water cannot quench near thirst. If you want to put out a fire, there is another way, which is to cover it with sand.
There is not much else in this forest, but the soil can be found locally.
Therefore, at Zhao Wei's suggestion, the original water destruction was changed to earth destruction.
Baskets of soil were carried to the foot of the mountain by the villagers, as if they were going to build a wall of earth to contain the fire in the mountain and prevent it from spreading any further.
Zhao Wei not only has to be busy with this, but also has to prevent the people from Haozi Village from joining forces with the traitors in the village to cause trouble.
There has been no way to completely eliminate the traitor, and this has led to persecution in the village.
Zhao Wei looked at the people who were working hard, his eyes were like radar, scanning the crowd continuously.
In the end, he found five people whose behavior was somewhat suspicious, and then assigned two or three people to monitor each of them.
Any unusual movement of these people will be noticed clearly.
This wait lasted almost an hour.
At this time, the people in the village were already exhausted and were at their most tired.
Two of them were suspicious. They dropped the hoes in their hands and left in different directions.
The person in charge of following followed without any hesitation.
Zhao Wei was just feeling hungry when he heard someone reporting to him.
"Boss, we've caught him. It's Wang Jinbao, that bastard. I never thought that this bastard would betray us. Now that we've caught him, don't let him off easily!"
They were so angry that they caught the man in the act and beat him up severely. By now, the man was lying on the ground, dying.
Zhao Wei had nothing to say, so he just had the traitor captured and tied up to the place closest to the fire, leaving him to be roasted by the wildfire.
This person participated in the arson of this fire, so how could he miss this opportunity to roast!
Zhao Wei stared at Wang Jinbao who was tied to the fire. The man was choked by the thick smoke and kept begging for mercy.
"I was wrong, please let me go, I will never dare to do it again!"
Before he could finish his words, a burning log fell at his feet with a "crack", setting his trouser legs on fire and causing him to fall silent with fright.
The villagers who were watching stared at him angrily. They only hated his crying and could not easily forgive him.
"Wang Jinbao, you are such a piece of shit! Have we been bad to you? Why do you treat us like this?"
"We have been together since childhood, wearing the same pants and growing up together, yet you are so mean, you want us all to die!"
"From now on, there will be no friendship between us. Whether you live or die has nothing to do with us, and you will no longer have a place in our village."
…
Not only did the people in the village scold him, but even Wang Jinbao's family members pointed at him and scolded him with anger.
"My ancestor, how could our Wang family produce such an evil creature as you? You are not doing justice to anyone by doing this!"
"After you did this, how can anyone in our family still have the face to make a living in the village? You are going to force our entire family to death!"
"You beast, you are finished. Your life is over. We are going to sever all ties with you. From now on, whether you live or die has nothing to do with our Wang family."
…
For a moment, everyone directed their accusations towards Wang Jinbao.
He was just a 17-year-old boy, how could he bear it?
I had some remorse before, but now... I was so angry after being scolded that I just gave up and didn't care about anything anymore.
"Shut up, you useless people. This fire is the retribution you deserve, hehe..."
He just wanted to burn them to death so that none of them could have a good life.
As long as he can hold these people back, and then wait until the people behind him are done, they will definitely not treat himself unfairly.
If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. He just wants to live a good life. What has he done wrong?
Seeing his stubborn look, the people in the village soon stopped scolding him.
Everyone was busy with the work at hand. Anyway, this person had been tied up here, so how could he run away?
…
At the foot of the mountain.
"Pile the sand on top of the fire wall!" Zhao Wei turned around and shouted, picking up the soil basket beside him and rushing up the hillside.
At this moment, the mountain wind suddenly changed direction, and the flames shot out half a foot high like a poisonous snake, and the newly built earth wall was instantly burned black.
Several young villagers were knocked to the ground by the heat wave and rolled a long way away before they saved their lives.
"Cover your face with a wet linen cloth!" Zhao Wei pulled off his belt soaked in river water and wrapped it around his face. Then he caught a glimpse of an old man in the crowd secretly throwing resin into the fire - it was one of the people who had been marked before.
Unexpectedly, he had been behaving so mediocrely the whole time, which actually made Zhao Wei believe that he had made a wrong judgment.
The result is waiting for me here.
This guy was not only throwing pine branches to start a fire, he was even secretly opening the fire mouth, trying to lead the fire into the village.
This guy is so naive, isn't he afraid of getting himself into trouble?
Fire is not something docile and can be played with.
Zhao Wei became furious when he saw this, and he flew over and pinned the man to the ground. The oil paper bag in the man's arms opened up, revealing the sparkling flint inside.
"Tell me! Who else is with you?"
