I Plant A Field In The Last Days
Chapter 49 Fire Fighting
I heard someone shouting that a fire broke out, and people around seemed to reflect that it was actually not too big. After all, in such high-temperature weather, aging circuits and unsafe use of fire would cause fires. In the past month, there have been several scenes in the No. 3 area. There is a fire, and everyone has taken it off.
However, the fire did not mean to stop until the fire police began to arrange people to evacuate residents near the fire point, everyone guessed it began to pay attention to it slowly.
"Bang Dang", Dad Lu rushed in with a cough, his face blackened, and he shouted out of breath, "Xiao Yuan, go! Go and put out the fire!"
The family rushed out, and saw the burnt-black Lu Dad suddenly panicked.
"Dad! Where did you go? Why did you burn it like this?" Lu Yuan checked his father's body. There was no injury at all, except that a hole was pulled on the back of his hand.
"Oh! Don't mention it, a house in the village was burned, and the fire blew all the way to the west. It burned more than a dozen people in a row! It's still burning now!" Said as the towel wiped his face.
Lu Yuan hurriedly walked out the door and took a look outside. As expected, the flames skyrocketed and even covered the sun. The dozens of houses to the west were engulfed by the fire, and there was thick smoke in the sky.
Moreover, the wind at this time was particularly strong, and the fire was still spreading towards the houses on the west side, and there was a possibility of burning at any time.
Back in the room, Lu Yuan pulled out a bundle of water pipes and said to his mother: "Mom! Don't go out with your grandparents, and I will go with my dad to see if I can help, otherwise the fire may spread. Come to our house!"
Although there are no houses built next to Lu Yuan's home, there are still a lot of bundles of weeds and dry crops that were cleaned up yesterday and have not been transported away.
Lu Yuan glanced at the surrounding grass, and then said to his father: "Dad! I'll go there to help first. You connect the water pipe to wet the ground around here, and then move all the bundles of grass to a large area. On the way!"
Dad Lu immediately nodded after hearing this: "Okay, you must be careful when you go there, don't be aggressive, and don't rush into the fire, where it will collapse!"
Lu Yuan waved his hand and rushed directly in the direction of the fire.
The closer you are to the fire, the hotter the air will be. Lu Yuan feels that his back is already soaked, and his chest is dried by the hot fire.
The air was filled with a strong smell of smoke and dust. Fortunately, it was a positive westerly wind today. The fire was located in the southwest of Lu Yuan’s home. Some dense smoke was avoided. Moreover, the lush branches and leaves of various fruit trees in the house can completely block the dense smoke. The smell is not very strong yet.
When we arrived near the fire site, we heard waves of wailing. On the side of the road were more than a dozen corpses that had been charred. The family members of some of the deceased were crying bitterly while identifying their families. Yuan Xin couldn't help feeling sour.
The firefighters were pulling long water pipes and squirting violently towards the fire place, but the fire was too strong, and the four water guns could not have much effect at all.
Due to the high temperature and no rain for several months, the dryness in the air is extremely high, and some wooden furniture basically catches fire.
There was a "cracking" sound of explosion when the wood was burning, and everyone joined the ranks of the fire fighting.
Since there is no water, everyone can only dig mud from nearby fields to bury some small fire spots.
Lu Yuan took a shovel and began desperately shoveling the soil. The young men turned black and ignored their sweat. They lifted a basket of bamboo baskets full of soil and left.
At this moment, although the people in District 3 usually patronize themselves and ignore others, at this moment they show a trace of long-lost unity.
Everyone worked very hard, and they all acted spontaneously. Although many people's homes were not hit by fire this time, they were all afraid that the next one would be their home.
At this moment, a man in a short-sleeved shirt pooped anxiously and walked over, with sweat on his face, and shouted at everyone.
"My house is about to catch fire, and there are still some calligraphy, paintings and wood carvings at home. Help me move them out! I really can't move so many by myself."
Everyone was angry when they heard it.
"There are so many people dead here, do you still care about your broken calligraphy and paintings and wood carvings? Why don't you go back and move it yourself! Forgive us for not having time!" A greasy-faced person was angry and directly bashed him back. .
"Don't, they are all very expensive things. If you can help, please help! They are all neighbors!" The other party continued without giving up.
Lu Yuan laughed. In this apocalyptic year, calligraphy, painting and antiques are no longer valuable, but some people still offer it as a treasure.
"Okay! It's okay to help you, do you have to take out something? Now that there is so much water here, you might as well get water!" Lu Yuan said with a hint of sarcasm.
A trace of embarrassment appeared on the man's face.
"Okay, but I don't have a lot of water there. I can give you a portion, as long as you help me move things out!"
"Oh, by the way, you just said that there is a fire in your house, or else you should put out the fire together! But you have to take at least half of the water out!"
The other party was a little entangled, but after looking at his house, it was about to be burned, and immediately gritted his teeth and said: "Okay! I'll take half of the water!"
So Lu Yuan put down his shovel and looked at the people next to him: "Will you go?"
In fact, everyone is very tempted, but at this critical moment, most people can still distinguish right from wrong, although it is only now, but in the future, they don't know if there is still a trace of conscience.
No one moved, and obviously they didn't want to be the target of public criticism.
"It's okay, saving his house is equivalent to saving the next few houses. There is still water to get. Don't be strained!" Lu Yuan put down his head and let the person lead the way.
Although there were a lot of people muttering behind him, they couldn't resist the temptation in the end. Seven or eight people followed Lu Yuan and arrived at that person's home.
District 3 is an agricultural reform area. Before Life was a farmer, what the villagers liked most was to visit, but after becoming a city dweller, this activity disappeared. Unexplained visits might even cause Others think there is a plan, but the residents here are basically not very familiar with them except the few family members next door.
"Here, here, there are the calligraphy and paintings here, and the wood carvings outside the house should be taken away!" The middle-aged Fatty panted and pointed to the things he wanted to move out.
Everyone is not very interested in these calligraphy and paintings, but more interested in the dozen or so cylinders of water in his house.
After seeing everyone's gaze, the man suddenly showed a trace of alertness.
