I plant a field in the last days
Chapter 49 Fire Fighting
I heard someone shouting a fire, and the people around seemed to report that it was not particularly 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 fires in the No. 3 area. Now, everyone has taken offense.
However, the fire didn't mean to stop until the fire police started arranging people to evacuate residents near the fire point, everyone guessed it began to pay attention.
With a sound of "Bang Dang", Dad Lu rushed in with a cough, his face blackened, and he shouted out of breath, "Xiao Yuan, go! Go and fight 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, just a cut in the back of his hand.
"Oh! Don't mention it, there was a house in the village that was burned, and the fire blew all the way to the west. It burned more than ten people in a row! It's still burning now!" Said as the towel wiped his face.
Lu Yuan hurriedly walked out the door and looked out. As expected, the flames skyrocketed even over the sun. The dozens of houses on the west were engulfed by the fire, and the sky was thick with smoke.
Moreover, the wind at this time was particularly strong, and the fire was 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 you, 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 a lot of bundles of weeds and dry crops that were cleaned up yesterday and have not been transported.
Lu Yuan glanced at the grass around him, 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 the bundles of grass to the big 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 scene, where it collapses!"
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 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 toward the fire place, but the fire was too strong, and the four water guns could not have much effect.
Because it hasn't rained for several months and it is high temperature, the air is very dry, 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 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 people were so dark that they didn't care about wiping 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 time, a man wearing a short-sleeved shirt with a big belly came over anxiously, with sweat on his face, and shouted at everyone.
"My house is about to catch fire. There are still some calligraphy and paintings and wood carvings in the house. 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 slammed 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 bring something out? Now that there is such a shortage of 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.
"Yes, but I don't have a lot of water, so 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 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 a trace of conscience.
No one moved, and obviously they didn't want to be targeted.
"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 and Lu Yuan arrived at that person's home behind him.
District 3 is an agricultural reform area. Before, the people who lived here were farmers. The villagers liked to do visits. However, after they became city residents, this activity disappeared directly. Others think there is a plan, but the residents here are basically not familiar with them except the few family members next door.
"Here, here, there are also the calligraphy and paintings here, and the wood carvings outside the house should be taken away!" The middle-aged fat man panted and pointed to the things he wanted to move out.
Everyone is not very interested in these calligraphy and paintings of him, but more interested in the dozen cylinders of water in his house.
After seeing everyone's gaze, the man suddenly showed a trace of alertness.
