Chapter 1036 Fire
After Meng Chuan calmed down, he soon fell asleep, because he rested early, he entered a state of rest at seven or eight o'clock in the evening, and there were three leaders on duty, so everyone was on duty for an average of four hours.
After Xiao Zhou survived the first shift, he wanted Meng Chuan to sleep a little longer, but Meng Chuan woke up naturally, looked at the time, and put on a coat to change Xiao Zhou.
"Okay, Xiao Zhou, don't resist, go back and rest."
Xiao Zhou saw that there was no way to be on duty for Meng Chuan, so he could only go to sleep, but not long after lying down, Meng Chuan suddenly saw some light on the side of the village, and Meng Chuan immediately asked the soldiers to go over to check.
Because of the topography, the place where Meng Chuan is located, theoretically, cannot see the village, but now he can see the light over there, which means that there is probably something wrong with the village.
The soldier climbed to the top of a nearby tree and saw the situation clearly at a glance, "Captain, there is a fire in the village, look at the situation, the fire is not small, what should we do?" ”
On fire? This kind of weather is not dry, how can such a big fire start.
The shouts of the fighters woke up Xiao Zhou, who had just fallen asleep, and the leader of the dog training squadron, who had slept for a few hours, so they ran over and asked, "Captain, what's wrong?" ”
Meng Chuan didn't have time to explain, so he shouted anxiously, "Assemble urgently." ”
After hearing the order to gather, the leader of the dog training squadron and Xiao Zhou went down to greet the soldiers.
The soldiers gathered at an unprecedented speed, and Meng Chuan immediately issued an order, "The first detachment of the fifth squadron stays here to guard, and no one is allowed to enter the mountain, and they can be arrested if they break in." ”
"All the officers and men of the second and third detachments of the fifth squadron and the dog training squadron went to the village with me to fight the fire, remember, take the squad as a unit, don't disperse, the squad leader beckoned the soldiers under his hands, you must pay attention to safety, do you understand?"
The fighters shouted, "Understood. ”
These soldiers are worthy of being elite soldiers, even those who have just woken up are now in good spirits.
Meng Chuan nodded, "Let's go." ”
When the large army was moving towards the village, Meng Chuan suddenly saw two young people who had entered the mountain at noon yesterday and were rushing to his side, Meng Chuan stopped the car and shouted, "What are you going to do in the middle of the night?" ”
The two horses didn't expect Meng Chuan to go out so quickly, and they were afraid that Meng Chuan would not come over to help the disaster, but now it's okay, most of the people have gone into the village to fight the fire, and there are only a dozen people left at the two intersections, and they will be much more sure of rushing into the mountain when the time comes.
The two horses hurriedly said, "We are asking you to come over for disaster relief, our village is on fire, most of the young people in the village have gone out to work, and there are some old people and children left in the village, and the situation is very critical now." ”
When Meng Chuan heard this, his pupils shrank, and he immediately jumped out of the car and came to the two of them, "You get in the car and lead the way." ”
The two horses didn't expect Meng Chuan to let themselves get into the car, which was a bit surprising, but they didn't hesitate, they first introduced the large army into the village, and then they took the opportunity to slip away.
As soon as the two got into the car, a dozen or so soldiers stared at them, which frightened them a lot, especially since the rifles in the hands of the soldiers were pointed at them as if they were nothing, which was even more frightening.
Meng Chuan stared at these two people fiercely, if you set the fire in the village, and you hurt the old man and the child because of it, it will be chased to the ends of the earth, and I will not let you go.
The two horses were stared at by Meng Chuan's back, and they couldn't sit still, "That, comrade armed police, this is almost the place, do you want us to get out of the car first." ”
How could Meng Chuan let these two people with major suspicions go out, "No need, you two are just sitting here, I don't know anything about the situation in the village, I have to ask you more." ”
The two horses hurriedly said: "Comrade, if you want to ask, you can wait until the fire is extinguished, the current situation is critical, and you can't delay time." ”
Meng Chuan is not at ease with these two people, but what they said is also right, disaster relief is very important now, and it is our obligation to protect the safety of people's lives and property, and this has to be carried out.
Now there is a detachment of 20 people guarding the mountain, and there is an armored car parked at each intersection, even if the four of them run away, it will be even more difficult to enter the mountain.
Moreover, they have no evidence to prove that they set the fire, so they have no right to restrict their personal freedom. ”
This village is similar to other rural villages, most of the young people have gone out to work, and the people who stay in the village are mainly the elderly and young children who have not yet reached school age.
Of course, there are not no young people in the village, but there are really not many, after all, in such a remote village, you can't make money, and you can only make money if you go out.
The land in the village is also planted by the old people, and the grain they have beaten down is only enough to chew grain for a year, and there is no surplus grain left.
Therefore, the people who put out the fire here are also elderly, and they take great effort to pick out a load of water from the well, pour it into the basin, and pour it into the place where there is a fire.
But after all, people are old, even if they are fighting fires, their bodies can't stand it, and when they watch the fire slowly engulf their houses, they really want to rush into it and die.
There's nothing left, so how can I live in the future?
But when the sound of the siren came, they seemed to see hope again, after Meng Chuan arrived at the scene, he looked at the serious fire, and he was not verbose, so that the soldiers immediately threw themselves into fighting the fire, if anyone dares to be lazy and slippery, don't blame me for military law.
When they saw the old people's disgraced faces and the desperate eyes when they looked at the houses burning, their hearts were really pinched, so they picked up their tools nearby and began to put out the fire.
This fire is really not small, Meng Chuan asked the people next to him while fighting the fire, and asked if there were any trapped people.
At first, everyone said no, but suddenly an old woman shouted: "Xiao Hao, Xiao Hao, old man, where is Xiao Hao?" ”
The old man, who was called the old man, was now sitting on the ground, his face was gray and red, his eyes were dull and confused, he should have absorbed too much carbon monoxide, and his consciousness was a little confused.
Meng Chuan immediately shouted, "Let's give this old man some place, let him breathe some fresh air, and he will be fine later." Grandma, what's the matter with Xiao Hao you are talking about? ”
The old grandmother searched left and right for a long time, and suddenly thought of something, and was about to rush to the burning house, shouting while rushing, "Xiao Hao, Xiao Hao." ”
Meng Chuan's eyes were quick, and he grabbed the old grandmother, and the old grandmother was eager to save Sun Xin, so she was willing to stop, and she was about to rush into the house when she tore off Meng Chuan's hand.
Meng Chuan was afraid that the old grandmother would be injured at first, but now when he saw that the old woman was bent on rushing into the burning house, he didn't dare to stop it, and immediately dragged the old woman back to safety.
"Grandma, don't move, I'll go in and save you."
