Chapter 1597 Follow-up Work
When most people on the mountain had evacuated, Lu Xiaoxiao jumped down from the tree and walked towards the captain pretending to have just climbed the mountain.
"Xiaoxiao, you're here." The captain said to Lu Xiaoxiao when he saw her.
After hearing what the captain said, Lu Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "I saw on the way up the mountain just now that the fire has been almost put out."
"In fact, the fire was not put out. It was because there was nothing to burn that it gradually became smaller. This is all thanks to the solution you came up with. Otherwise, according to the intensity of the fire last night, the whole mountain would have been burned down by now."
After hearing what the captain said, Lu Xiaoxiao didn't say anything. She just smiled without comment. Although she came up with the idea and she kicked down the tree, she just did what she should do, so she didn't think she deserved any credit.
When the captain saw that Lu Xiaoxiao did not respond to him, he did not feel uncomfortable at all, because he knew that Lu Xiaoxiao did not respond to him because she did not want to take all the credit.
"Xiaoxiao, what do you think we should do next?" The captain asked Lu Xiaoxiao as he looked at half of the mountain that was burned down by the fire.
"We sent people to guard the mountainside to prevent the fire from reigniting, and also had people dig soil and spread it over the burned areas."
"Why do we have to dig up the soil and spread it over the burned area?" the captain asked Lu Xiaoxiao in confusion.
"To prevent the sparks from being blown up by the wind, if the sparks are blown to the mountain next door, I think the captain can imagine the consequences without me saying anything, so the captain must have people dig the soil and spread it to the burned area as soon as possible."
The captain was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat after hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said. He had never thought about it in this regard. Fortunately, Lu Xiaoxiao reminded him, otherwise if it was really as Lu Xiaoxiao said, the consequences would be too terrible.
"As soon as we get here, we'll let them start digging. Is there anything else that needs attention?" the captain asked Lu Xiaoxiao.
"I don't know. I've said everything I should say. What happens next depends on the captain. I didn't sleep much last night, so I'm going down the mountain and home first." Lu Xiaoxiao yawned after she finished speaking.
When the captain saw Lu Xiaoxiao looking tired, he thought of the scene where Lu Xiaoxiao kicked the tree yesterday, and then he immediately said to Lu Xiaoxiao: "If you are tired, go home and rest. I will arrange things on the mountain, you don't have to worry."
"Okay." After Lu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she walked down the mountain.
After Lu Xiaoxiao left, the captain licked his cracked lips with his tongue. Only then did he remember that he had not drunk a sip of water since he went up the mountain to put out the fire yesterday. No wonder his lips were so dry and cracked.
"Dad, I've brought people here. This is the water I brought you. Drink some quickly." Just when the captain was thinking about where to find some water, he heard Liu Baozhu's words. It seemed that he had not given birth to this eldest son in vain.
After the captain drank the water that Liu Baozhu brought him, he felt his mind became much clearer. Just as he was about to arrange the people brought by Liu Baozhu to work, his hand was grabbed by Liu Baozhu.
"Why are you pulling me?" the captain asked Liu Baozhu.
"Dad, this is the pancake that Mom made for you. You can eat it first and then arrange for people to work."
When the captain heard what Liu Baozhu said, he originally wanted to refuse, but when he saw the worry in Liu Baozhu's eyes, he couldn't say the words of refusal. So he took the pancake that Liu Baozhu handed to him and ate it quickly.
