The fire was far more serious than Uro thought. No wonder the fire could still be seen in the tribe. Fortunately, there were streams in the forest to form a natural isolation zone, which would not threaten the lives of everyone for a while.

No matter how versatile Uro was, he couldn't think of how to extinguish such a level of forest fire, and the thick smoke had begun to fill the air. It is estimated that no one in the center circle would be spared, and most likely it would be burnt to charcoal.He stood on the ground and pondered for a moment. It was night, and there was still a sea of ​​fire about a hundred meters ahead. It would not be able to burn here for the time being, but it was probably coming soon. From a distance, it looked like a hazy fireplace swaying with warmth. This scorching heat can still be felt from a distance.

At this time, if you spread your hands apart, you may be attacked by wild animals, so it is best to act collectively.

"Jie, do you know what is at the other end?" Wu Luo pointed to the left side of the stream. Although the stream is shallow, it is quite wide, and the running water is constantly flowing. He looked up and saw the fire lighting up the mountain and the stream, but he didn't know What is the end.

Jie lightly jumped onto the tree and put her eyes far away, "It's also the water flow, but I can't see it if it's farther away."

"It's fine if it's the current, then let's go downstream."

Uro made a decisive decision. If they wanted to go upstream, if they wanted to climb up, it was one thing for everyone to see clearly at night, but it was another thing for them to climb the mountain with difficulty. It would be easier to go downhill.

And the continuous upstream, if nothing unexpected, should be lake water or pool water.

Uro regretted it. If he had known more about geography, there was no need to guess here. The group of them walked down the stream. Fortunately, there was no wind tonight, which did not fuel the fire. In ten minutes, I couldn't see such a strong flame, and there was even a little shade.

Such a big fire probably scared away many beasts, and they didn't hear the roar of the beasts all the way.

"Wu, what should we do now?" Amber asked.

The mountain fire was raging, and they didn't know what started it. It's one thing to get used to using fire, but it's another thing to see such a terrifying scene. They all looked at Wu Luo, hoping that he would come up with an idea.

And Uro was still recalling the TV and fire education films he had watched, trying to find the answer from calling the police, crawling forward, and covering his mouth and nose with a wet cloth.

The answer is nothing. If he knows everything by himself, why do he need so many jobs? Does Uro still need to pay off the mortgage?

"It's not good." Uro breathed a sigh of relief. He put his hands on his hips, but now he put them down, shook his head and said, "You can't put your life in it. Burns are death these days, and I can't save them." , while the fire is not big, let's pack up our belongings, at worst, go back and wait now, and prepare to leave."

It's really a wave of ups and downs, Uro has a deep sense of powerlessness, why is it so difficult to live peacefully in this world.

At this time, there was a sudden scream from the crowd, and a small fireball burst out of the sea of ​​flames, bounced high and flew up, but because of the wide creek, it fell into the water with a plop, and instantly stopped moving.

It was not small in size, and it was completely stuck on the stone, and it was not washed down by the current.

Amber trembled subconsciously, and someone in the tribe had already shouted in panic, "It's punishment! It's..."

This is frightening that the language is garbled.

Wu Luo stepped into the stream, and checked with his lower body. There was light reflected on the sparkling water, and he tentatively touched it with his hands. animal.After observing carefully for a while, he realized that the ball of fire was a charred rabbit, not a stone ejected from the fire.

Seeing such a tragic situation, Wu Luo made a decisive decision and waved, "Let's go!"

Before Uro could turn around, the people around him scattered away. Fortunately, Amber was not unconscionable. After running two steps, she remembered him, and then came back and dragged the hapless witch back.

Uro was dragged and slid directly among the fallen leaves in the forest. When he heard the neighing of the horse, he suspected it was an illusion, so he shouted, "Humber, did you hear anything?"

Amber broke down and yelled "No no no! Nothing!"

not nothing-

Wu Luo looked at the fire, the fire really diffused out, he heard the corresponding roar of countless beasts, and saw a figure suddenly leaping out of the sea of ​​fire, a man riding a horse, the black horse almost completely merged with the night, only like silk and satin its skin glowed in the moonlight, and it neighed—

It's Yan.

The man looked a bit embarrassed, smoke and dust brushed his cheeks like ashes, his fluffy long hair was slightly scorched, he turned his horse's head to stare at the endless flames, and the bamboo pipe blew out a loud and long cry, walking with the wind.

Countless beasts ran from the forest, some stood still and returned, and some fled and scattered with them.

Uro could almost hear the sound of scorching flesh, the fireworks were like monsters with teeth and claws, trying to swallow everything in front of him, but only the wind, he was caught by Amber, only heard the sound of wind passing through his ears, and a tree branch was hit on his face unexpectedly The whipping, the glasses fell to the ground, completely shattered.

Myopia instantly changed Uro's vision, and he reluctantly raised his head to look again, only to see a pitch-black shadow, from man to horse, which was blurred and gradually merged with the flames.

Until he ran back to the tribe, Uro felt a little out of breath. He didn't know whether it was because of Yan or because of the amount of exercise. He just breathed quietly, his brain was almost blank, and his highly myopic eyes couldn't see too much clearly. , can only distinguish the vague outlines of general objects, as for the faces of people, as long as they are a little farther away, they will be completely blurred.

Is that Yan?

Uro asked himself if I read wrong?

Even if he knew well that there would be no one who would ride a horse to fight the fire in this wilderness, he would not make any guesses except that person.

Excessive exercise made Uro's eyes black, and he began to breathe violently, ignoring the rules and rhythms, as if he wanted to take away the last bit of oxygen in the world, trying to completely spit out the thick smoke that was unintentionally drawn into his lungs.People either stared in amazement at the almost unfamiliar face after Ulo left the glasses, as if what Amber caught was a passer-by who met by chance; or fell into unreasonable confusion and crying, they vaguely saw the distant flames getting bigger, Fear permeated the crowd.

"Shut up!" Ulo growled sternly. No one listened at first, until he recovered from the almost blower-like breathing, the voice became calmer and more majestic, and even sounded like It was Yan's voice, and the crying gradually stopped.

Uro’s vision seems to be separated by a layer of fog. His glasses used to be his weapon, and his eyes are also sharp, cruel, and calm. Most of the time, his heart is hidden behind artificial glass pieces, but That doesn't mean he's vulnerable without his glasses.

The blurred world is certainly scary, but not as scary as the bright wildfire.

Uro couldn't see anyone's face, and it was difficult to tell who they were from the hides. He withdrew his hand and watched the crowd huddled together, sobbing softly.

Someone may be dead, the last person in this world with whom I understand each other.

Uro's shallow empathy broke out at inappropriate moments, and his sadness came too late. He missed the "run" when we met on the mountain fire. He didn't know if he shouted. .

Human death is so easy and easy that Uro loathes his own passivation.

Reason told him that this matter had nothing to do with him.

Yet the emotion is irresistibly oozing sadness.

Uro restrained this exhaustion, and tried to maintain a calm attitude and said, "Everyone pack up your things, bring food and what you need, and leave the rest that can be done, and put them all in the cave. Tao don't take them with you." Too much. Let's go to the river to burn the salt together, all of them."

Of course, the riverside does not refer to the road they fished, but the road further away, through the woods, close to the lagoon.

There were hardly any plants growing near the lagoon, and the fire couldn't be burned no matter how fierce it was. Having seen such a fire, Uro didn't want to stay at home and sleep and suddenly become a roast pig.He didn't show this sense of unease, any emotion would be contagious, if the leader was calm enough, others would subconsciously obey.

"Go to burn the salt?" There was a hint of doubt in the sobs.

Uro nodded calmly and said, "Yes, everyone, bring what you need, we have a long way to go, and maybe we need to build a new residence."

Primitives didn't panic and wander around. They wandered around at first, and went wherever there was food. What everyone feared was no future, death, not homelessness.So after Uro gave a goal, almost everyone stopped crying and prepared to leave.

Amber and Mo stood beside Uro, the female leader sighed sadly, "Witch, you said this is not a punishment."

Although Mo didn't speak, he thought the same way.

Uro replies to her "None of us died, is this a punishment?"

This sentence seemed to clear the clouds, and they woke up immediately, and they happily went to get the things. In fact, after thinking about it, these things have only passed a year or even half a year. It doesn't matter, just find another cave, or the kind of house Gauro wanted.

Uro stood there to ease his emotions. He stood there with his eyes tightly closed, shaking for 2 minutes, and no one could even see that he was shaking.

Then he simply walked to the hut, got into the suitcase, and did what he was supposed to do.

Uro first went to the optical shop to try his luck. There is a warehouse or workshop in this shop. He also found a tablet on which he could input his needs for glasses, and they would be assembled automatically.

When Uro took the glasses, his eyes fell on the colored contact lenses again, and in the end he just put on the glasses of the exact same style as the previous one.

The new glasses cost Wuluo a lot of money. After resting in the mall for a while, he found that he was getting used to this strange feeling of loneliness. The beds in the furniture store were soft and spotless. Both feet and trousers were covered with mud and fallen leaves.

When he went to take a bath, Ulo stood under the shower, and the fine hot water washed him like a boiled shrimp. He propped one hand on the frosted glass door, watching the foam flow down, and suddenly remembered that he had just seen Yan and those beasts.

They are indeed not of the same kind.

Wuluo was stuck in his throat, he recalled those wild beasts running wildly, the rabbit that jumped out of the sea of ​​fire, all these were not aimless, Yan went to the fire to rescue those wild beasts.Man hunts wild beasts, and wild beasts prey on human beings. This is a natural law that has nothing to do with Yan, so he doesn't care at all, neither favoring beasts nor helping people.

But wildfires are different.

So this innocent disaster engulfed him together.

"Are you really a god?"

Uro muttered to himself, it should have been a mocking tone, but it rolled out of his throat, but it seemed like real confusion, the water flowed down his wet hair, and fell drop by drop along the tip of his nose, the heat steamed his brain into chaos , covering up the last sentence "Don't die."

After drying his hair, Uro rested for a while. He didn't sleep. Sleeping at this time will lose the sense of time and urgency. It's good to have a good sleep to do things, but it just happened overnight. He hasn't So weak.

Uro came to this tribe with only one suitcase, and he also left here with one suitcase. When he went out, people were almost packing up their belongings, and they were chasing rabbits on the ground, probably because of the wandering in the early years. The grown-ups have a lot of experience in moving, they are orderly, not messy at all, the men carry heavy food, the women bring pottery tinder and small tools, and make a lot of torches, even pregnant women are heavy burdens.

No one asked Uro if it was okay to just have a suitcase, he was always miraculously able to come up with what everyone needed, and if not, make it.

Amber looked curiously at the glasses on Uro's face, and asked, "Your thing is back?"

"Yes." Uro nodded calmly without expressing the sad reality of the wallet bleeding, "It's back."

Amber didn't see any difference. She didn't know much about glasses, let alone the same type of glasses, so she thought they were the same. She couldn't help showing envious eyes, "How to do this, I want to get back what I lost."

Uro shook his head and said, "You can't."

I don't know what Amber thought of, she hesitated to speak for a moment, but still didn't say anything, just nodded to show that she understood.

The men were divided into two teams, the front took the lead and observed the rear, and the women who were good at fighting protected the pregnant women and children in the middle. They walked to the lagoon in a mighty way, and they could see the flames soaring into the sky in the distance.

Where is Yan Xiaowang?

Suddenly this thought flashed through Uro's mind.

However, no one knows whether the wildfire will come suddenly in an instant. Uro has no choice but to throw this idea out of his mind. Under the situation of powerlessness, extra sympathy is meaningless.

He should have thought so, and should have done so.

"Witch?" Amber looked at the motionless Uro, and asked strangely, "Why don't you leave, aren't we going to cook salt?"

"There is still a shortage of people."

Uro began to hate his own stubbornness, and the evening wind began to blow at night, thinking that the fire would soon grow bigger, he stared at Amber for a moment, and said slowly, "I'm going to bring a child here."

"Our children are here." Amber didn't know the seriousness of the situation yet, and she was too nervous to talk nonsense, so she relaxed and smiled, staring at Uro almost comfortingly, "Don't worry, we all We brought them on, no one was left behind, we woke up those who were sleeping, and carried those who couldn’t wake up in baskets.”

Uro looked at her and said, "Amber, he's not in our tribe."

Amber's smiling face froze for a moment, she realized who Uro was talking about, her lips trembled slightly for a moment, but nothing came out of it.

And Uro has already opened the suitcase and took out his suitcase. There are a lot of things in the suitcase. He has tested that a light suitcase can also be used as an entrance, so he deliberately stored one more, which can be used when traveling far. .He knew that his paranoia towards Yan had crossed the bottom line, and had nothing to do with compassion and kindness. It was too humane even for him to rush to find a child who was likely to fail in such a dark night.

"You're going to find him." Amber understood, she thought for a while, nodded and said, "Let Su Cu and Green Tea go with you, we'll cook salt, and you will rush over as soon as you receive the child."

Uro thought about many possibilities, but he didn't think of this one.

The vigorous leader decisively took the box full of luggage from Uro's hand, and she reminded almost cautiously, "Come back soon."

"it is good."

Uro didn't wear his suit, but changed into a set of casual clothes, which are suitable for long-distance travel, sports, and short-term running. In this barren mountain, there is only an off-road vehicle to match.They rushed to the tall building in the wilderness. No one spoke along the way. Everyone was worried. Green Tea probably wanted to say something, but in the end they still didn't say it, let alone Su Cuu.

There is a difference between closeness and distance. Su Cu didn't open his mouth when he saw green tea. He is a person who "knows how to do business."

When Yan Xiaowang opened the door, he was holding a bleating animal in his arms, which looked a bit like a sheep, with a nose like a cow, and two bumps on its head. It was probably just born and the horns hadn't grown yet.

"It's on fire." Uro said succinctly, "Your dad is on the mountain, come with me, I'll leave him a note."

Of course Yan Xiaowang couldn't understand what he said, so he blinked and looked at Wu Luo innocently, but just as Wu Luo was about to persuade him, someone knocked him behind him, raised his head impatiently, and suddenly froze .From the side of the stilt building, the forest fire is even more spectacular. You can see a forest fire in the distance, but it's just far away.

It's early summer.

Wu Luo's face was a little pale, he stretched out his hand to signal Yan Xiaowang to come up, and now the other party understood, although he was still puzzled, he still hugged Wu Luo obediently.So Wu Luo directly picked him up, held him in his arms, and pressed the note that he had written before when he decided to come on the table in the room—if the fire burned here, Yan would not see the bones when he came back. He would definitely think of these old neighbors, if there is no one in the cave or it has been burned, then he will definitely go to the lagoon to try his luck.

After all, that's the only thing they have in common.

If the fire hadn't reached here, Yan would have saved himself trouble when he saw the note.

Yan Xiaowang didn't seem to be very worried about Wuluo hijacking him, and he was very honest after being picked up, as if he had expected it long ago, but the little lamb squeezed at Wuluo's feet and bleated.When Qingwang and Liu Jun saw this situation, they bared their teeth and came up to them in a threatening manner. The latter had dealt with Wu Luo several times, so he didn't dare to show his teeth at him, so he stared at the other two innocent people viciously. .

Green Tea held a weapon, but it would be too challenging for him to fight a giant beast at such close range alone, so his voice trembled, "Wu, are we really going to take this child away?"

"Correct."

Yan Xiaowang lay on Wuluo's shoulder and said something to the two animals. He muttered, then motioned for Wuluo to put him down, and tried to jump on Qingwang's body on tiptoe.The big-horned deer tried to push him up on its back with its mouth, but it didn't work. The huge branch-like horns were still dangling, almost scratching Yan Xiaowang, so they looked angrily at their group of onlookers person.

Su Cu couldn't stand the condemning gaze, so he could only hug the child up in silence, and was almost unreasonably pierced by the vigilant big-horned deer. He patted his chest with lingering fear, and subconsciously looked at Wu Luo.

"Deer, wolf..." Uro looked at the two of them thoughtfully, and then at the restless animals.

Animals are very sensitive. A wildfire like this should have a sense. No wonder these two beasts are so manic.

Yan Xiaowang comforted the big horned deer for a while, then reached out to pull Wuluo, but Wuluo refused.

Liu Jun can carry the weight of two people. Wu Luo and Yan have already experienced it before. What he is not sure about is whether the big horned deer can do it. In addition to the language barrier, there is no way for Yan Xiaowang to communicate.However, Yan Xiaowang didn't seem to be surprised that he came here in the middle of the night. Either he was short-hearted, or Yan expected that he would come to find this child before going out.

If it's the latter, then he should tell these two beasts.

"Green tea, you go on the back of the big horned deer."

Uro made a decisive decision. He grabbed Qingwang's big horn and watched Green Tea climb up timidly. The deer snorted and barked impatiently. Its hooves were slightly disturbed, but there was no rejection and no burden. situation occurs.After Wuluo let go of his hand slowly, Qingwang lost even the slightest bit of impatience.

"Su Cu, follow me to the wolf's back."

Liu Jun has suffered from Uro, and he is much more docile than Qingwang. It might be better to say that he quickly became docile after smelling Uro's smell. It was probably because Uro took a bath just now, and he couldn't get along with him. It was successfully identified from the beginning.After Wuluo rode on the wolf, it stood there majesticly, and it didn't make much movement until Su Cu was pulled up.

"Yan Xiaowang."

Uro called him.

"You remember to follow me."

Yan Xiaowang looked at Wu Luo curiously, but the latter had completely given up communicating with him, and instead patted the wolf's body, grabbing its long mane to signal to run forward, and the wolf roared away like the wind.

Not to be outdone, Qingwang hopped lightly on the plain, always closely following Liu Jun's figure.

And the two people in the back seat are suffering what they shouldn't have to bear with their blue faces.
