Chapter 223 It’s raining
This net was supported entirely by Tu Shan's special powers. She had tried to make it as dense as possible, but sparks still penetrated the mesh and fell into the woods behind.
"Don't just stand there. If you don't want to leave, then guard the rear. If there's a spark, put it out immediately. As long as we can hold on until it rains, we'll be considered successful.
Also, gather everyone, don't run around, stay behind me, so I can escort you away if anything unexpected happens."
The giant net formed a semicircle and encircled the soaring flames. The firebreak on the upwind side had been completed. As long as the wind direction did not change, there would be no problem as long as she protected the downwind side and the left and right sides.
When the team members heard that they would not be sent away, they were excited and actively dealt with the sporadic flames behind them.
The giant network gave them hope and everyone was excited.
"Don't worry, Third Sister. We will definitely guard the rear, control the team members, and gather everyone here. Besides these, what else can we do?"
Tu Shan was silent for a moment: "See if there is any food in the basket and feed it to me."
Her hands are now busy, and both her physical strength and supernatural powers have reached the limit. She can't hold on for much longer. Eating can't replenish much of her supernatural powers, and she can only barely make herself feel comfortable.
After hearing this, the team members quickly did as they were told and carefully fed the food in the basket to Tu Shan, giving her a few bites of food and then some water.
The food had just been delivered and had not yet been distributed when the wind started to blow. Everyone was in a hurry and had no time to eat. They continued to work, and the food was left there.
Later, the leaders were sent away by Tu Shan, and the meal was completely forgotten.
None of the food that had been distributed was returned, and there were still twenty baskets of steamed buns and multi-grain rice balls left. These were all prepared by the people who spontaneously organized themselves at the foot of the mountain for the front-line team members. They didn't ask for them to be too good, but they had to make sure the team members had enough to eat.
The portions are very substantial, and with the addition of oil and salt, they are filling enough to satisfy your hunger.
The team members fed Tu Shan and she ate for nearly an hour. She ate all twenty baskets of food.
If the team members were not afraid that Tu Shan would choke, they would feed her slowly and the speed would be even faster.
The team member who was feeding Tu Shan swallowed and secretly glanced at her belly, which was still flat.
Where did you eat?
Tu Shan also wanted to know where the food went. She didn’t feel full at all and felt even hungrier.
"Third sister, the wind seems to have died down."
The team members cheered in surprise.
Tu Shan felt the air and found it was very humid, so it was indeed going to rain.
But there is still some time.
And the wind will not stop, now is just the calm before the storm.
"Get ready, stronger winds are coming."
Tu Shan's voice became heavy, and the team members, who were originally happy, became solemn.
They didn't know what to do, so they spontaneously cleared away the dead branches, rotten leaves and weeds behind them to prevent sparks from igniting.
Just when we were halfway through cleaning, a strong wind came.
"Woo..."
A force nine gale penetrated into the mountains, carrying everything on the ground and pushing the towering trees, making sounds like ghosts howling and wolves howling.
Sand and rocks flew everywhere, and dust filled the air. Tu Shan was the first to be hit, with the wind blowing all over her face. She was choked so hard that she couldn't open her eyes, and she also swallowed a large mouthful of mud and sand.
The heat hit my face, burning my skin.
The huge vine net stood against the wind, and was blown all over the place and fell backwards.
Tu Shan increased her control over her supernatural powers, and her legs unconsciously became a bow stance, desperately fighting against the strong wind.
The others couldn't open their eyes either. The wind was so strong that more sparks flew through the mesh of the mesh. They could only keep beating the screen.
The wind was so strong that even though everyone tried their best, it was still a bit overwhelming. Several tree trunks were ignited and almost caught fire several times.
The fire was raging and everyone was in a panic.
"It's no use, Third Sister. We must evacuate." The newly ignited fire could not be extinguished at all. The area was getting wider and wider. If they didn't leave, they would be trapped inside.
"No retreat." Tu Shan gritted her teeth and blurted out two words.
She couldn't retreat. The fire was so big that if she retreated, it would advance. Behind her was a town with thousands of people. In those days, even the county had thatched houses. On a hot day, they would catch fire at any time.
She worked so hard for so many days, and now everything is back to the time before liberation. What's the point?
Only then did the team members see that the veins on Tu Shan's dark little face were bulging, like terrifying centipedes, winding and circling, which was very scary.
What’s important is that she was bleeding from all seven orifices.
The team member was shocked: "Third sister, you are bleeding, stop it quickly, you can't continue, Third sister."
Tu Shan ignored her and silently hugged some thick vines rooted in the ground, leaning her whole body on them and kicking hard with one leg. She didn't stop and only bled a little.
"Third sister, you will die. You will really die. Stop it now."
The others heard their teammates' roars and ran over, their eyes wide in shock.
They never knew that so much blood could flow out of a person's seven orifices.
His black face, stained with soot, was stained red.
"Third sister, that's enough. We have tried our best."
"Yes, Third Sister, let's leave first and make arrangements after the wind dies down."
"Third sister, as long as there is green mountain, there will be no worry about lack of firewood. You can't risk your life."
No matter what they said, Tu Shan just ignored them.
The blood marks on the dark little face were shocking.
The team members were so anxious that they scratched their heads, but they didn't dare to touch Tu Shan for fear of counterproductive effect.
"Third sister, that's enough, it's really enough."
"Third sister, please stop. I beg you."
"Third sister..."
The men almost roared.
Tu Shan felt as if she was being drained. Her supernatural powers and physical strength were gone, but she felt that she could still hold on because she still had blood.
Yes, she still has blood, she just doesn’t believe that she can’t bear it, her third sister in Zhoucheng has never been unable to bear it.
"I won't retreat, hold on..."
Every word was filled with the smell of blood.
"Boom..."
"It's thundering, Third Sister, it's thundering, it's going to rain soon, stop it."
Tu Shan leaned against the vines, feeling dazed and confused, supported by a thought: "Don't talk, it's too noisy." As long as the rain didn't fall, it was not time to stop.
The team members' eyes were red and they dared not speak anymore. They hoped silently that the rain would come soon. They were willing to shorten their life spans and even sacrifice their lives. Please, please, it will rain soon.
Perhaps their prayers were really heard, for after a few thunderclaps, heavy rain poured down.
"Wow..."
As the rain fell, the giant net dropped into the sea of fire, extinguishing most of the flames.
Tu Shan completed her mission, relieved the anger in her heart, and collapsed.
"Third sister?"
The team members quickly caught it and said, "Let's go down the mountain."
At the foot of the mountain, everyone stood in the rain, not moving or walking, just looking at the mountain quietly.
Under the pouring rain, the towering flames were extinguished and thick black smoke rose.
They succeeded and the wildfire was put out.
But no one cheered, no one spoke, everyone waited quietly.
One hour, two hours, three hours.
"Here they come, here they come, some people are coming down the mountain." The team member who was waiting halfway up the mountain came running and shouted, "Here they come, I see a large group coming down the mountain."
"Everyone? Has everyone come down?" the people at the foot of the mountain asked anxiously.
"Yes, everyone, almost there, they are coming down very fast."
The quiet foot of the mountain suddenly became lively, with people preparing medicine, food, and support.
Ten minutes later, the large group approached at a run.
"Doctor, hurry up, doctor."
"Doctor, doctor, hurry up, hurry up."
The medical staff who had been prepared long ago were pushed out: "How many people were injured? Where are they?"
"Here, here."
Surrounded by five thousand people, only one person needed healing.
The medical staff looked at Tu Shan, who was almost inhuman, and were so shocked that their hands and feet froze.
Tu Shan had not completely fainted yet. She was worried that these silly boys would get lost in the mountains, so she held on until the foot of the mountain.
In a daze, I seemed to see an acquaintance and opened my mouth: "Old man, I'm hungry."
This almost silent whisper made Master Zong Zheng's eyes warm.
