Chapter 16 Section 15 Grassland Fire

Since Chu Feng had agreed, and Xilin liked to join in the fun, the original two-person party naturally became a four-person party. In fact, if you circle the cliff to the east from here, you will enter the Bayinbulak Grassland not far away.Originally, walking a little south from here, there was a road passing through the Ili Nalati Grassland. After getting on the road, the four of them could hitch a ride and quickly reach the township office in the center of the Bayinbulak Grassland. It is also the origin of the Mongolian man Bingbu who had a dispute with Xilin before.However, no matter how Chu Feng repeatedly emphasized to them that the Mongolian rider was anxiously looking for the little living Buddha, the two lamas still insisted on going to the northeast to pay homage to the tenth Panchen Lama living Buddha there when he came to the Bayinbulak Grassland. relics left behind.There is nothing to say, everyone can only walk on two legs.

However, before setting off, Chu Feng couldn't bear the heart of that bold Mongolian man to rush into the air again and again, so he took advantage of people not paying attention, and on the burnt ashes, he simply outlined a small bald head with a tree branch and a big arrow, pointing at them direction of travel.Now, as long as that person is not too stupid, he should be able to keep up. After descending the mountain, we entered the prairie.Now it is the season of eagle flying in September, and the earth is golden.On the ground, countless fat cattle and sheep; in the sky, eagles spread their wings and hover.For some reason, Xilin's bird friend "Eldon" did not follow. The eagles, who had never appeared above the two of them for several days before, seemed to seize the opportunity to vent their anger and kept surrounding them. Several people circled endlessly.

Xilin was a little annoyed. He originally thought that he could go on an adventure with the professor who was said to be very NB, looking for treasures or something, but he didn't expect that his brain was a little burnt out, and he actually wanted to go on a pilgrimage with these two lamas.Xilin doesn't like lamas, not at all. He is a Xibe who believes in shaman mothers.When he was in a bad mood, Xilin found everything unpleasant, especially the group of black and bewildered eagles above his head. "Go! Go! A group of rat-eating guys want to compete with my Erden?" The young man couldn't help it. He stopped, picked up a few branches, and shot with his bow. Immediately, eagles flew in the sky and floated down. Countless feathers.

The experience of traveling with two lamas made Chu Feng very novel. The two lamas were not in a hurry. They kept holding the Buddhist beads while walking, but their speed was not slow.As they walked, Chu Feng felt that there seemed to be a special rhythm between them walking. The four of them walked all morning. Apart from wild animals such as wild yaks, rabbits, argali, and foxes, they also saw cattle, sheep, and yaks raised by the shepherds from time to time.It’s the season of high and refreshing autumn. Along the way, the vast grassland with a wide view, the blue sky, the white clouds dotted in the low sky, and the various animals enjoying life leisurely among the lush aquatic plants, this mood, I want to It's hard to be bad.

They have been walking for four hours since they set off in the morning, and they only rested once in the middle, drank a little water and continued on the road.Even though Chu Feng's body is still exercised regularly, he is also a little tired.It's okay that Xilin is young.The two lamas were still the same as when they set off, their steps neither increased nor decreased, and their speed did not change at all. Chu Feng was surprised, knowing that they might have used some kind of breathing method that matched the rhythm of walking, so that they could walk for four hours without fatigue.

As Chu Feng was walking, he was thinking absent-mindedly, and unknowingly, he was in step with the two lamas who were walking ahead of him. The little living Buddha seemed to have noticed something, and turned around and smiled at him, his expression full of encouragement means. Chu Feng was stunned, but he didn't dare to neglect his feet. He still kept up with the rhythm of the two, and then he listened carefully to the breathing of the two. Slowly, he actually mastered the tricks: raise the legs, inhale; drop the legs , exhale; lift, inhale; fall, exhale...Suddenly, Chu Feng felt that his hands and feet were not his own, his body was completely involuntary, like a puppet tied with strings, and the strings were tied to the on one person.

Lifting his legs, falling, lifting his legs, falling, lightly, without any effort on his part, Chu Feng had an illusion for a moment, as if his body was only a shell, and his soul was out of his body, watching with nothing to do . He was frightened by this thought, and as soon as his breathing became disordered, he immediately felt the soreness from his calf to his waist every time he lifted his leg. "Huh!" He stopped and twisted his waist to let out a breath, and then looked at the little lama who was still a child, and he was a little wary: it is better not to touch some mysterious things.

At this moment, the little lama who was walking in front turned back and smiled at him again. He had just experienced a "spirit out of body" Chu Feng, and he no longer felt his smile was gentle. At noon, the four of them walked to a small pond, ready to take a rest and finish their lunch by the way.Xilin just took off the ancestral treasured ox horn bow on his back and held it in his hand, when he saw many small animals swarming from the side. First there were two scattered gray hares, three marmots, and then there were nests of mice.Seeing the cowardly and disgusting creature that day kept getting under his feet, even though he was not a woman, Chu Feng felt that his appetite was lost.

Seeing this scene, the young lama's expression changed drastically, and he murmured a few words to the middle-aged lama, who faithfully carried it out.Chu Feng watched him hastily climbed up a small dirt slope in front of him. At first he was a little puzzled, but when he suddenly thought of something, his face changed, and he rushed forward, reaching the top of the slope faster than the lama, and looked into the distance. Sure enough, in the southeast direction, at the end of sight, a cloud of gray smoke rose from the ground and shot straight into the sky. "Damn it, it's on fire!" Chu Feng had also heard of the prairie fire more or less.That's as fast as lightning. Seeing that they are still far away, they may be close to them in an instant.Moreover, the prairie fire is really true: the place where it passes is a white field, and nothing will be left behind.What's more, it's September now, the grass is dry and the wood is dry. Now that the fire has started, it's not so easy to put it out.

Without hesitation, Chu Feng pulled out the long dagger tied to his calf, and called Xilin: "Xilin, hurry up! It's on fire! Follow me to pull weeds!" Xilin was also unambiguous, and after agreeing, he and Chu Feng split up and got busy in two directions.The two lamas over there were not idle either. They consciously chose the other two directions and moved quickly—after all, they are people living on the grasslands. Make a fireproof belt, no one can escape! Chu Feng led Xilin to cut and pull desperately, and soon cleared a separation belt about three meters wide in the direction of the fire.Chu Feng put the cut or pulled grass on the opposite side, looked at the fire in the distance, fearing that the width was not safe, so he buried his head and continued to work.

Maybe it was because the speed of the fire was too fast, and before rescue was received, the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and the fire was getting more and more fierce, and soon came to the front. Chu Feng had been prepared for a long time. He took out the waterproof lighter that he carried with him, lit it, and squinted his eyes to stare at the approaching fire line. Is it possible to put that fire back on?If one is not good, the wind will blow the flames over, and the others will be dead! Seeing that the line of fire was approaching, and the hot air could already be felt on his cheeks, Chu Feng still did not put down the lighter in his hand. "Light it up!" The slightly immature voice could only have one owner, that little lama.Seeing that Chu Feng was still hesitating, he shouted loudly.Chu Feng turned his head and saw that although there was a trace of anxiety on his face, he was still able to maintain a calm expression. His heart became ruthless, and he put the lighter on the pile of dry yellow grass that everyone had piled up. With a "boom", the fire started. Regardless of the scorching heat, Chu Feng lit more than a dozen haystacks in a row before retreating behind the isolation zone.After he wiped the sweat off his face, he realized in astonishment that at some point, the two lamas connected with the isolation belt made by him and Xilin, emptied all the grass, and made a circle around the small pond in front of him. A circular fire break with a radius of about 20 meters. Chu Feng froze for a moment, with a strange look on his face.It was also about escaping through the fire. What Chu Feng thought was to stop the fire so that it would burn in another direction, so that he could wait for others to escape the danger. But these two lamas obviously didn't think so. Although they wanted to escape, they did so. A fire circle, although it can prevent the fire from approaching, so as not to be burned to death by the fire, but the fire will not change its direction, it will burn straight, at most bypass this small circle, but the people inside may not be able to stand it Death from high-temperature roasting or smoke.Compared with the two, this method is obviously more dangerous now. "Why?" Chu Feng's voice was a little hoarse! The little lama didn't change his face, and pointed behind him: "There used to be few residents here, but there are a few herdsmen over there!" After speaking, he stopped talking and concentrated on pinching the Buddhist beads in his hand, as if chanting. Chu Feng stared at him for a while, but gave up helplessly.The matter has come to this point, even if he is telling a lie, in the face of such a fierce fire, it is too late for them to do anything. "Ah—" Xilin screamed, quickly attracting Chu Feng's attention. "What's wrong?" "Look! That kid!" Xilin's eyes were very good. Just now he saw that the fire seemed to be driven back by Chu Feng's fire. Note that I went to the edge of the small pool near the northeast to simply clean and bandage myself.As a result, when I looked up, I saw a child struggling in the fire. Chu Feng looked in the direction of his finger, and there was indeed a small figure, swaying in a row of flames higher than him.He was taken aback, and before he had time to think about it, he jumped into the small pond as fast as he could to get himself wet, and then rushed towards the child. But before he could get out of the fire zone, a gust of wind blew past him. When he took a closer look, the middle-aged lama was approaching the child twice as fast as him.Seeing this, Chu Feng simply stopped, took off his already wet denim jacket, and beat the flames that were about to burn—he had to guard this passage for the lama and the child. The fire was too big, and soon, the ends of his hair were curled up by the flames, and there was a peculiar smell, and the profuse sweat on his head would soon fascinate his eyes, but he must not He kept waving the clothes in his hands, flapping the tongue of flames that were burning to his side and licking towards his body, without even bothering to wipe it off.Soon, he heard the sound of "噗, 噗" coming from beside him. It was Xilin and the little lama, and they also imitated him and beat the flames with wet clothes, leaving a passage for life-saving. Maybe people feel that time passes very slowly in a critical moment. Chu Feng kept beating the flames while secretly complaining. Why hasn't that lama rescued him after such a long time? After all, three people are stronger than one.Chu Feng was really confused. Finally, after Xilin came to him, he spotted a gap and looked at the place where he found the child just now. Unexpectedly, he was still there, huh?What was he doing?fire? Chu Feng watched the child staggeringly waving the robe in his hands, and kept beating the increasingly ferocious fire, and the lama who rushed to save people just now was beside him, helping to beat the fire flames. Such a monstrous fire cannot be stopped by two or three kittens like them. Seeing that the lama was so ignorant, Chu Feng became anxious and angry. If this continues, everyone will have to finish playing together! He took a deep breath, waved the denim jacket that had been half-scorched by the fire in his hands more vigorously, covered his head, and rushed towards the position of the two people, one big and one small. "Why don't you take him back quickly?!" Chu Feng reached the middle-aged lama first, and shouted at him in a moment of panic. The lama didn't answer him, but looked at the figure who was about to be unable to support with pity, and shook his head. Following his gaze, Chu Feng looked over. The child was only about seven or eight years old, and the clothes on his body had long been blurred. White smoke came out from many places, and Chu Feng could even smell the peculiar smell of the animal fur burned by the fire. burnt smell.Waving what may have been his own Mongolian robe, most of which has now been burned.His face had already been black and white, and he had no appearance, only a pair of dark eyes stubbornly staring at the fierce flames, with a look of utter indifference. Looking at the situation, Chu Feng knew that the lama had told the child earlier that he would save him from leaving. Seeing that the child was so stubborn as hell, he probably wouldn't listen to good words, so he simply rushed over. With a slap of the palm, the child fell into his arms.
