Chapter 1610: The Fire on the Mountain
Around five o'clock in the evening, after Lu Xiaoxiao came out of the space, she carried a basket to the backyard to pick beans. Now is the season when beans grow wildly, and she often waters the vegetables, so the beans in her house grow a lot.
She planned to pick all the ripe beans in the next two days, then dry half of them into dried beans and make the other half into sour beans.
“Knock, knock, knock… knock, knock, knock…”
Lu Xiaoxiao had just picked half a basket of beans when she heard someone knocking on the door. She had no choice but to put the basket on the ground and go to the yard to open the door.
"Captain, you're here, please come in." When Lu Xiaoxiao opened the door of the yard and saw the captain, she said to the captain.
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, the captain did not be polite to Lu Xiaoxiao. He went straight into Lu Xiaoxiao's yard and walked towards the main room.
"Captain, is there anything you want to talk to me about?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked the captain after pouring him a glass of water.
"I do have something I want to ask you, and I hope you can tell me everything you know.
After hearing what the captain said, Lu Xiaoxiao nodded and said to the captain, "Just ask if you have anything to ask."
"Did you notice anything unusual when you arrived at the foot of the mountain the night before yesterday? To be more precise, did you see anyone other than yourself?"
"No, I was alone when I arrived at the foot of the mountain the night before yesterday. If there were other people, I would definitely have found them because the fire lit up the foot of the mountain very brightly."
"So did you find anything related to the fire when you were going up the mountain?"
"No, I was in a hurry to get up the mountain at that time and didn't have the energy to think about anything else."
"One last thing, do you think the fire the night before last was man-made?"
"Captain, you asked the wrong person this question. How can I know whether the fire the night before yesterday was man-made?"
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, the captain looked at Lu Xiaoxiao again. He knew that it was impossible to get the answer to this question from Lu Xiaoxiao, so he didn't plan to continue asking Lu Xiaoxiao this question, because it would be useless to ask.
"The fire on the mountain has been put out. I am now asking people to fetch water and pour it on the burned areas. This will completely prevent the fire from starting again.
However, we still haven’t found the reason why the mountain fire started the night before yesterday. If the reason is not found in another week, we can only conclude that the mountain fire was not man-made but a natural phenomenon.”
After hearing the captain's words, Lu Xiaoxiao understood the captain's main purpose of coming to her today, but she really didn't know what caused the mountain fire. If it was in her previous life, she could use scientific instruments to find out the cause of the mountain fire.
But today's technology is so backward, how can people find out the cause of the mountain fire? So she really has no power to help the captain find the real cause of the mountain fire.
"Captain, I understand what you mean, but I really don't know the reason for the fire. I'm afraid I can't help you this time."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, the captain sighed deeply. He thought that even Lu Xiaoxiao didn't know the reason for the fire on the mountain. It seemed that the fire the night before yesterday could only be classified as a natural phenomenon.
But he always felt that the fire the night before was not that simple. Unfortunately, he could not produce any evidence to prove that the fire the night before was man-made and not natural.
So he could only suppress the weirdness in his heart.
