Wei Xiaolin tried the walkie-talkie, and sure enough, there was only a rustling sound, and the shouts on the other side could no longer be heard clearly.
So Wei Xiaolin took the walkie-talkie to find a signal, while Wei Shengli took out a knife and began to cut off some smaller shrubs and dry branches around him, and then threw them away. The less material there is to burn, the slower the fire will grow. Although it was a drop in the bucket, Wei Shengli still wanted to do something...
The only thing Wei Xiaolin could do was to desperately search for a signal, and at the same time kept repeating into the walkie-talkie: "There is a fire on Mountain No. 7, come and put out the fire! My father can't bear it anymore, hurry up..."
At the same time, the forest ranger station.
"Maweizi Mountain in Daxinganling is on fire, please help!" a man shouted at the police phone.
"Please explain the situation of the fire. If the fire is not big..." came the reply on the phone.
"Fuck! Do you understand MLGB, fire, and mountain fire? If you wait a minute, a large area of the forest will be burned. Do you understand? Call the firefighters!" the man yelled.
"The firefighters are already being contacted." The person on the other end of the phone was obviously yelled at.
The man here has already rushed out with a fire extinguisher. Although the fire extinguisher is not of much use, but now... it's just a drop in the bucket, and he can't control that much anymore.
At the foot of the mountain, Liu Yu, who had already descended the mountain, looked back and saw the thick smoke rising into the sky. He shouted: "Dad, look, there is smoke on the mountain!"
Liu Guangcai said disapprovingly: "Maybe some family is also visiting the grave."
Liu Yu shook his head and said: "The smoke is too big, isn't it? It's so dark... it almost covers the sky."
When Liu Guangcai heard this, he felt something was wrong. He looked up, his face suddenly turned pale, and he shouted: "No, it's on fire!"
Xia Hui also exclaimed: "It seems to be over there at grandma's graveyard!"
When Liu Guang saw the fire, his lips trembled and he said: "Go...go quickly! The fire is coming this way! Run!"
After saying that, Liu Guangcai picked up Liu Yu and ran away.
Liu Yu shouted: "Put me down and put out the fire first!"
Liu Guangcai said: "This is a mountain fire! It's useless even if the fire brigade comes, run!"
Xia Hui also ran, and while running, she looked back and saw tongues of fire shooting into the sky on the top of the mountain. They could already see the flames.
The two of them ran down the mountain with almost all their strength. Fortunately, the three of them had already gone down the mountain and were far away from the fire point. Otherwise, the three of them would never have been able to escape. After going down the mountain and reaching the edge of the highway, Liu Guangcai threw Liu Yusai onto the tractor.
Liu Guangcai shouted: "Xia Hui, look at the child! Drive home and find someone to put out the fire!"
When Xia Hui saw that Liu Guangcai was holding an ax and was about to run back, she quickly grabbed Liu Guangcai and said, "What are you doing?"
Liu Guangcai said: "Although the highway is wide, the fire is too strong. Once the fire burns over, the fire break belt on the highway is not wide enough and it will burn through. I have to do something..."
Xia Hui shouted at the top of her lungs: "Are you crazy? You are alone! You can't cut down such a big mountain by yourself!"
Liu Yu shouted: "I'll help."
Xia Hui angrily shouted: "Shut up!"
Liu Yu didn't dare to say anything.
Liu Guangcai patted Xia Hui on the shoulder and said: "Wife, listen to me, we must have started the fire this time. Once this fire breaks out, I don't know how big it will burn. Just let me leave like this, My conscience can't bear it. I regret not listening to our daughter, trying to go home early and not completely extinguishing the fire before leaving. But now it's useless to say anything. I can't ignore this fire. Otherwise, I will be shameless. Our daughter has no shame in going back to the village. Listen to me and leave immediately! If you want to help me, call someone!"
Xia Hui looked at Liu Guangcai's firm eyes, gritted her teeth, nodded, and drove away with Liu Yu on the tractor.
Liu Guangcai carried the ax, looked at the thick smoke in the distance, wiped his nose and said, "I'll fight hard!"
After saying that, Liu Guang rushed into the mountains. He knew that he could not do anything and could not change anything, but he did not pursue these things now. He just wanted to do something, otherwise his conscience would not be able to bear it, and life would be worse than death.
Not long after, bursts of sirens tore apart the tranquility of the mountains in the distance, but when the firefighters arrived at the scene, they were dumbfounded.
"Oh my God, such a big fire..." A fire fighter looked at the fire in front of him in stunned silence, then looked at his three fire trucks, and said with difficulty: "With such a big fire, even if the water in the car is drained, There’s no point in pouring it all in, right?”
The captain said: "We need support, Xiao Li, please report it quickly. The more support we need, the better! Explain the situation clearly, the superiors will know what to do. Everyone else, everyone, put on their equipment and follow me into the mountain!"
"Captain, what should I do with the car?" someone asked.
"I can't control it anymore, brothers. I won't teach you any political lessons this time. I just want to ask you, are you afraid of death?" the captain asked.
Everyone shouted almost in unison: "If you are afraid of death, don't be a soldier! If you are a soldier, don't be afraid of death!"
"That's no problem, copycat, bring your equipment and go into the mountains!" the captain shouted.
When Xiao Li heard this, he quickly shouted: "Captain, what about me? I want to go too!"
The captain said angrily: "What are you talking about? You are responsible for contacting the superiors."
"Team..." Xiao Li was unwilling to give in.
The captain said: "Obey the order!"
Xiao Li reluctantly accepted the order.
After the captain finished speaking, he led everyone into the mountain. They were all fire fighters. They knew very well that it was useless for them to go into the mountain to face the fire!
"Captain, I'm afraid there's nothing we can do." A veteran asked in a low voice.
The captain said: "Do whatever you can, do your best, fulfill your responsibilities, that's all!"
The veteran nodded and asked in a low voice: "Why don't you let Xiao Li come?"
The captain said: "His brother is also a firefighter. He died fighting a fire last year. His family is still grieving. Their family has already contributed one life to the country, and there can be no more. I want to leave some seeds for their family..."
"Captain, is it so dangerous this time?" the veteran asked.
The captain nodded and said: "I'm afraid it will only be more dangerous, aren't you afraid?"
The veteran nodded and grinned: "I won't brag this time. I'm really scared."
"Are you still going?" The captain said in surprise: "Don't you usually have diarrhea and urinate when you encounter difficulties?"
The veteran shook his head and said: "This time is different. This time, I try my best and fulfill my responsibilities, that's all..."
…
The fire was far more terrifying than anyone thought. Fueled by the northeasterly wind, it spread extremely quickly.
Wei Shengli stood above the wind, so everything was fine. If he followed the fire, the danger would not be too great.
But Liu Guangcai was under the wind, and the fire was overwhelming, like the end of the world.
After an hour, there were no reinforcements, nothing, so Liu Guang wiped the sweat from his forehead.
At this time, a black shadow jumped out from the tree, fell down, and hit Liu Guangcai next to him. When Liu Guangcai took a look, he saw that it was a burnt black squirrel. Now it had taken in more air and had less air coming out.
The point is, this squirrel is holding a baby squirrel in its arms! The little squirrel looked at Liu Guangcai in panic...
