The truck drove very fast, and in less than half an hour, everyone arrived at the burning forest.
The lush and green forest suddenly broke into a huge open space, and the ground was filled with trees.
In the distance there was a fire with thick smoke billowing out. Some flames had been blown over by the wind and fell to the ground, causing tiny sparks.
Xie Ling stepped on the brakes, opened the car door, stepped on the flames and extinguished the fire.
Then he spoke to the people behind him.
"We're here, everyone come down."
People in the carriage climbed down one after another.
Looking at the empty ground, I was impressed by Gu Wei's intelligence, but also felt fear and amazed at his strength.
It is not something that ordinary people can do to cut down so many trees in such a short time.
Xie Ling clapped her hands, "There is a pond 600 meters to the southeast. The rear guard team can move now."
As he spoke, he climbed onto the carriage and took out an extremely long black plastic water pipe, which was like a black python, coiling on the ground.
Wu Tingyan, the third son of the Wu family, took the lead, lifted one end of the water pipe and walked in front.
Xie Ling raised an eyebrow. The closer you get to the front, the heavier the water pipe is. He seems to be a responsible person.
The people behind were not to be outdone, and rushed forward, scrambling to move the water pipes in front, wanting to leave the easy task to others.
A group of young people lifted up the water pipes and walked towards the pond laughing.
The rest of the people are going to put out the fire.
Xie Ling took out fire masks and fire suits from the space and asked everyone to put them on.
After changing their clothes, everyone picked up dry powder fire extinguishers and walked towards the blazing woods with high morale.
Even wearing a fire suit, the temperature around me was still very hot, and I could feel the choking smoke through the mask.
Xie Ling and Gu Wei stood back to back, putting out the fire while walking forward.
Shujian, Xu Xingzhi and the others did the same, they moved forward a little bit after putting out a fire.
Xie Ling secretly used her wind-related abilities to slow down the wind speed and reduce the flames, thus alleviating the pressure on everyone to put out the fire.
The sun sets in the west.
The last trace of flame was extinguished by Xie Ling's fire extinguisher.
Everywhere you look, there is black charcoal mixed with many animal carcasses, emitting a foul smell.
Everyone couldn't wait to take off their heavy masks and breathe in big gulps of fresh air.
The forest after the fire was over still had the residual heat of the flames and was very hot.
With every step you take, gray dust rises from under your feet, which is very choking.
Xie Ling asked: "Is anyone injured?"
"I have a skin breakout on my left arm."
"I feel a little dizzy."
Xie Ling treated them one by one.
Wu Tingyan and his men over there had already seen the flames extinguished, and they ran over carrying water pipes.
A few hours later, the forest returned to silence, night fell, and everyone was exhausted and loaded onto the truck like dead insects.
Xie Ling slowed down the car, held the steering wheel with one hand and placed the other hand on the car window, feeling the cool evening breeze with her long hair scattered.
For a moment, she almost thought that she was still in the end of the world, still living a life of blood on the tip of a knife and full of intrigue.
I twisted the speaker, and after a hoarse noise, a heroic song "Boundless Ocean and Sky" sounded in the car.
"Forgive me for being unruly and loving freedom all my life..."
“I’m also afraid that one day I’ll fall.”
Gu Wei's deep and magnetic voice rang in my ears, his Cantonese pronunciation was clear and mellow.
Xie Ling tilted her head, looking surprised, "You can also sing their songs."
Gu Wei nodded. "There is a record player in your old house. It contains many of their songs. I like them very much. They are very free and unrestrained."
As he spoke, Gu Wei rested his head against the window. The evening breeze blew in instantly, lifting his silky black hair.
A beauty looks three times more beautiful under the light. In the blurred light and shadow inside the car, Gu Wei's face was like a bright moon, handsome and captivating, and his narrow and long peach blossom eyes were like a deep pool.
Xie Ling took a casual glance, and it felt like her eyes were burning, and her entire chest became hot. She quickly turned her head away to calm her restless heartbeat.
The song "Even if there's just you and me" happened to be playing on the speakers.
Gu Wei suddenly leaned over and kissed Xie Ling on the face, his narrow eyes full of smiles.
"It's just you and me now."
Xie Ling was stunned for a moment, then smiled beautifully, "Yeah."
From a distance, I saw Gao Wanhua and the others.
Yunchuan and Gu Li ran the fastest and rushed in front of the car in no time.
The two shouted loudly: "Sister Xie Ling, sister-in-law!"
Xie Ling was so scared that she stepped on the brakes and flipped out of the car window.
Just when he was about to scold them, he remembered that ancient children would not know anything about traffic rules, and as the saying goes, ignorance is not a crime, so he could only pat them on the head.
"Next time I'm driving, don't get close, okay?"
The two nodded obediently and looked Xie Ling up and down with worried eyes.
Gu Li spoke first, "Sister-in-law, are you not hurt?"
Xie Ling waved her hand.
After everyone in the car got off, the truck was put into the space.
Gao Wanhua came over and said, "Xie Ling, we don't dare to light a fire to cook for fear of causing a fire, so we didn't prepare dinner. Are you hungry?"
After a tiring day, I am naturally hungry.
Xie Ling said, "It's okay, make a fire, just be careful."
Upon hearing this, Gao Wanhua turned around quickly and started making a fire and cooking with the other female family members, doing so quickly and swiftly.
Xie Ling turned her gaze towards the three still unconscious teenagers under the tree.
Gao Wanhua and the others were so kind that they dragged the three of them under the shade of a tree to hide from the sun.
It was the fire caused by these three little brats that almost cost them their lives.
Xie Ling took out a sobering agent from the space and injected it into the three of them.
After a short while, the three of them slowly woke up.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Xie Ling's expressionless face. Although she was the same age as them, she looked extremely cold and heartless.
The three of them swallowed their saliva at the same time.
Xie Ling narrowed her eyes, "How did you start the fire?"
The tall boy was the calmest and apologized politely, "It's our fault. We didn't take good care of the fire when we made a fire to cook. We never thought it would cause a fire."
Xie Ling took another look at the clothes of the three people.
"You are not from Beijiang, so why are you here in Wuming Mountain?"
"Beijiang?"
The young man's eyes were full of confusion, "Is the dynasty outside now called Beijiang?"
After a pause, he continued: "To be honest, young lady, we are from a reclusive family. We escaped and wanted to see the world, but we never thought something like this would happen."
A hidden family?
Xie Ling called Gu Wei over and asked, "What kind of hidden family are these three from? Have you heard of them?"
Gu Wei nodded. "Before the world was divided into seven kingdoms, it was unified by the Zhou Dynasty. After the fall of the Zhou Dynasty, many great families who respected the Zhou emperor hid in the mountains and forests and did not care about worldly affairs. The three of them are probably the descendants of such aristocratic families."
As he spoke, Gu Wei's eyes darkened. Generally speaking, secluded families are very mysterious. This young man was too careless to tell them his identity like this.
Is he just careless and defenseless, or does he have other intentions?
