Chapter 43 Timely Rain
Author: Cucumber mixed with lettuce
I took a breath and said, "Hiss--" When Jia Yang saw this, he pulled me to leave, but I kept standing there.
"Sister Xiaoqi, the wound on your hand!" Tian Li saw the wound on my hand, "Go back and take care of the wound first!"
I looked at the flames all over the mountain. The flames were still burning, and I said, "It's too late. If we don't cut a fire separation zone, we will all be burned here."
Tian Li looked at the fire that was getting closer and closer, pursed his lips and continued to pour water.
We previously put the water from the reservoir into the canal at the foot of the mountain, and just poured a lot of water on the plants. Now the water in the reservoir has been significantly reduced.
Now we have cut out about three or four meters of fire protection zone here, but if the wind direction is wrong, it will still be easily burned. We can only take care of this side of the mountain, and we don’t know if there are any survivors on the other side of the mountain.
to relieve the fire on the other side.
I don’t know how much time passed, but the sky gradually became brighter, the wind blew around me, and I felt a little water dripping on my face and hands.
I raised my hand to feel it, thinking it was dew or sweat.
I saw Tian Li running over happily and said: "It's raining!" Then he took the bucket in my hand and looked at my burned arm.
Jia Yang also came over.
I looked at the sky. The sky was gloomy at this time. I couldn't tell whether it was the dust after the fire burned or the dark clouds.
Slowly, the rain became heavier and fell on the leaves and the burning fire. After another period of time, the timely rain put out the fire!
We got a temporary respite and waited for the fire to gradually become smaller and about to disappear. A group of people prepared to go down the mountain and go back to their homes.
The zombies at the foot of the mountain seemed to have been greatly frightened. The zombies that had gathered by the wall had all left, not knowing where they were going.
When we returned home, Jia Yang immediately found the medical kit, disinfected my body first, and then applied anti-scald medicine on me.
…
There was a strong wind outside the window, which was different from the pattering rain not long ago. The wind was beating crazily on the see-through glass.
Several of us were downstairs, discussing the sudden fire.
"It's so strange, the weather has never been this hot before!" Dad was the first to speak.
"That's right! I've been here for several years, and the hottest months in August and September have been over 40 degrees. Why is it so hot in July?"
I looked at the indoor thermometer and said, "It's been close to 40 degrees indoors these days. We're still on the mountainside here, so the temperature has dropped a lot."
"Then the actual temperature outside might be over forty degrees?! Oh my God." Lin Kai said.
"If there's a fire, we won't have trees to cover us here, and the temperature will only get higher," Jia Yang said.
"Did it catch on fire because of the high temperature?" I asked.
"It's possible. I remember which country caught fire not long ago because of the heat? It took a long time!" Dad tried to remember.
I also remembered the news I watched earlier.
The temperature here has never been so high before, and it has climbed rapidly in the past two days. It is probably the high temperature that caused Xiaoman to catch fire. There was just a wind, so the fire area became larger.
"But luckily it rained in time today!" Tian Li said happily.
"Is a typhoon coming at this time?" I stared at the raindrops beating on the see-through glass.
"It's been so hot for so many days, it's time for a rain!" Dad said, "Oh, after working so hard for so many days, my old bones are exhausted. I'm going to lie down for a while." After that, Dad got up and went upstairs.
.
After my father returned upstairs, probably because he wanted to cool down, he left the door open, and soon he heard his snoring.
"Sister Xiaoqi, how are your arms?" Lin Kai came over and asked.
I shook my head, "It's much better. It was a little spicy at first, but I just applied medicine and it feels a lot cooler!"
Tian Li also came over and said, "Sister Xiaoqi, what do you want to eat, I'll make it for you~"
"Yes ~ Sister Xiaoqi, what do you want to eat? Do you want some porridge? You have had a bad appetite recently."
"I'll ask Sister Xiaoqi first, why are you fighting with me?!" Tian Li asked Lin Kai.
"She is your sister Xiaoqi, and she is also my sister Xiaoqi! How can this be robbery?"
…
The two started to quarrel again. Ever since Tian Li felt that Fang Zhijiu liked Lin Kai, he unconsciously regarded Lin Kai as his love rival. Lin Kai also did not show weakness. The two of them would say something to each other, back and forth.
It made the house lively a lot.
Jia Yang pushed me and pulled me upstairs. He said, "Call us when you're ready!"
I also left a sentence: "I don't have any appetite, but I want to drink porridge~" and then walked upstairs.
As soon as I got upstairs, I used my other good elbow to hit Jia Yang, "Did you notice?"
"What did you find?" Jia Yang asked.
"Li Zi likes Fang Zhijiu!" Jia Yang seemed to have two question marks in his eyes, "But Fang Zhijiu likes Lin Kai?"
Jia Yang is a straight man, "Stop joking!" I reminded him to pay attention to his tone.
"How is that possible! They are both men!"
"Tian Li said that Fang Zhijiu treats Lin Kai just like in a TV series."
"Those things in the TV series are all staged. They are not true. The reality is different." Jia Yang touched his chin, "I think Lin Kai likes Tian Li."
"What?!"
"When a boy likes someone, he will keep bullying her! I remember when I was a child..."
"Ah?! Doesn't this become a love triangle?!? She loves him, he loves him, and he loves her."
"What's so difficult about this?!" Jia Yang pretended to be relaxed.
"What do you mean?"
"Then the three of us will be together!" Jia Yang said firmly.
I knocked Jia Yang to the ground, what a joke.
…
"Everyone comes down for dinner!" I heard Lin Kai's voice.
While chatting with Jia Yang, and after a night of fighting fires, I was really exhausted, so I fell asleep without realizing it. At this time, the wound on my elbow continued to hurt.
I asked Jia Yang to pull me up from the bed, and we walked downstairs to prepare for dinner.
The rain outside has stopped at this time, but the wind is still very strong. This situation is very similar to Typhoon Tianzhen.
The six of us sat around the dining table. Lin Kai and Tian Li cooked mung bean porridge and prepared some side dishes.
I thought of the pickled cucumbers before and asked Jia Yang to take them out.
The sweet mung bean porridge paired with the sour pickled cucumbers is just right.
The sounds of eating porridge and crunchy chewing came one after another. Everyone's appetite seemed to have improved a lot after the rescue.
"I'm going back to the shelter at night." Fang Zhijiu suddenly said.
Lin Kai told us before that Fang Zhijiu was planning to return to the shelter, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
"How come it's so fast? Why don't you stay for two more days?"
"Yes! It's still raining outside now." Tian Li also said worriedly.
I looked at Lin Kai, he looked indifferent.
