Chapter 233
"Is that place on fire?"
Wen Jiunian and Lin Nanzhi looked up at the same time in the direction she pointed, and saw a cloud of green smoke rising straight into the sky from that direction. The dark and oppressive appearance looked very scary.
This is...
On Fire!
Lin Nanzhi took the bicycle from Wanbaobao without saying anything and said, "I'll go take a look first."
It is said that she rode away on her bicycle.
As the meeting had just ended, everyone went home. The scene here was soon noticed by everyone, and they all headed towards the smoke. Wan Baobao and Wen Jiunian also went there together. Wan Baobao didn't know the way, so he followed behind Wen Jiunian.
Lin Nanzhi rode his bicycle at a much faster speed, passing the running crowd, following a small river, and went straight into the valley, where he saw the location where the green smoke was rising. Most of the entire mountain was engulfed by the raging fire.
After confirming that there was indeed a fire, she quickly took out her cell phone to call the police and the 119 number.
The village chief also saw the situation and rushed over on his electric bike with the secretary. He couldn't help but feel scared when he saw the raging fire.
"How did this cause a forest fire?" She just told everyone that because there are many mountains and trees, and the weather has been dry and windy recently, a forest fire could be caused if you're not careful. She asked everyone to be careful, but something still happened?
You just stepped out of the door and already got slapped in the face?
"have no idea."
"I'm afraid this fire can't be controlled!"
"Fortunately, this is the only mountain nearby that has chestnut trees planted. The other mountains with trees are relatively far away, and the only mountain here is dry land." The secretary also patted his chest.
"The autumn harvest is coming soon, and the corn stalks in the fields are ripe. If a fire is started, it will directly set Yangmei Mountain on fire, and I'm afraid it will be out of control." Lin Nanzhi replied with a frown.
The mountain in front of us is called Beauty Mountain. Legend has it that a beautiful woman ascended to heaven here, so the shape of the mountain is like a girl with a graceful figure, so it is called Beauty Mountain.
Lin Nan knew that they were in front of the Beauty Mountain. On the left was a hill with some ornamental trees planted on it. It seemed as if the Beauty Mountain was cut in half by a knife. In the middle were all kinds of large rocks and a long river, so the fire would not burn through.
There is also a canyon behind Meiren Mountain. Because there is a large lake there, it is being developed into a tourist area. On the right is a large hill where villagers grow corn and potatoes, extending all the way to Yangmei Mountain.
Hearing what Lin Nanzhi said, everyone frowned.
"By the way, is there anyone in the development zone today?"
"Oh, it's dinner time now, so everyone is eating in the hotel."
Lin Nanzhi heaved a sigh of relief.
"There's nothing we can do. Let's get some people to go up the mountain and cut off some of the corn stalks that have been driven into the mountain to prevent them from attracting fire. Let's wait for the firefighters."
"good."
"Also, let everyone see for themselves, if the fire is not big, then you can get close to it, then do it, if it is really not possible, then give up, safety is the most important thing."
"good."
The village chief immediately contacted the nearby villagers and asked them to go home and ride their electric scooters or motorcycles up the mountain to cut corn. The rest of the people could only watch.
"Is there no one on the mountain?"
Wen Jiunian arrived at some point and stood beside Lin Nanzhi, staring intently, feeling a little worried.
“I didn’t see anyone coming down.”
"I came early. I saw Liu Laosi running out of here in a panic. He must have set the fire."
"Yes, his land is right here."
"What a pity! We could have eaten this piece of chestnuts right away, but you burned them all up in a fire. What a wicked thing to do!"
There were constant discussions around him, and Lin Nanzhi probably guessed the reason, but in the end it was best that there was no one up there.
About half an hour later, 119 arrived. Fortunately, there were many water sources in this valley, and the mountain road had been opened due to development.
The fire spread from the middle of the mountain to the top. The situation was urgent. The 119 rescue team inquired about the situation and then went up the mountain. Fortunately, the mountain was planted with chestnut trees, and there were only some lands at the foot of the mountain where some corn was planted. After about a few hours, the fire was finally put out.
119 is searching for flames on the mountain, and if there are any, they will be extinguished with fire extinguishers to avoid causing a secondary fire.
The busy work lasted until the evening. The firefighters refused the request to eat here and left after getting on the fire truck. As for how the fire was caused, this was naturally left to the police to investigate.
Lin Nanzhi doesn't need to worry about it at this time.
She hadn't eaten for a day and was starving.
At that moment, Wanbao's stomach was growling with hunger, so he said, "Let's go eat. I'll treat you."
"Let's go home and eat hotpot. I think my uncle and aunt haven't gone home yet."
Many villagers came to watch the excitement, but they went back after a while. Not many people stayed, and they are preparing to leave now that the fire is over. Lin Nanzhi's parents went to the city to buy things today, and they encountered this incident when they just came back, so they didn't go home to check.
If Wen Jiunian hadn't said anything, Lin Nanzhi wouldn't have noticed, but she still shook her head. Just as she was about to say something, she received a message on her phone. She looked down and said, "I'm not going. There's not much food at home. I'm going to my uncle's house to eat. My aunt sent me a message."
"You can come too,"
"OK."
The three of them walked out while talking. Wanbao was in a hurry when he came in and didn't look at anything. Only now did he notice the scenery here.
There are mountains on both sides, and a 100-meter-wide canyon in the middle. There are two streams flowing down from the mountains, like a parenthesis, enclosing the road and part of the land. Green plants are planted on the mountains, and corn is planted on the land below the mountains. The water in the stream is very clear, and there are sidewalks built along the water. Birch trees and some small flowers are planted on both sides of the road.
After leaving the canyon, the water from the two rivers converge into one river, with a bridge built on it. The river bank is lined with tall willow trees [not poplars, nor weeping willows]. After crossing the bridge, the small river is on the left, and there are beautiful rape flowers on the mountain. On the right is a stone wall with strange-shaped rocks exposed, and there are also rape flowers on the top of the mountain.
"I have to say, the scenery here is really beautiful. Fortunately, it didn't burn down."
"A large area of chestnut trees were also burned. Those trees were more than ten years old and were particularly large. It was difficult to grow them again."
Wanbaobao was silent again.
About a hundred meters after crossing the bridge, you will reach Aunt Lin’s house.
Auntie Lin's house was originally a bit far from the river, but after the river was expanded, it was only five meters away. Beautiful climbing roses were planted on the bank, but the flowers have already withered.
On the other side is a road used by several residents opposite Auntie Lin's house. Because it is close to the road, several ginkgo trees are planted there. It is the season when the leaves turn yellow. The golden leaves are blown by the wind and seem to be shining.
Auntie Lin's house is a two-story building, but it is designed to be like a courtyard house. The first floor is rarely lived in, and everyone lives on the second floor. Therefore, the three of them went directly to the second floor from the stairwell on the first floor.
