Chapter 695 A Fire in Winter

Are there really will-o'-the-wisps in this world?

Udur believed that there was, he was convinced of it, and he did not accept any refutation.

Anyone who dares to argue with Udu'er on this issue says that there are no ghosts or will-o'-the-wisps in the world.

And if anyone tries to use human bones, which contain phosphorus, the phosphorus will spontaneously combust under the right conditions.

So it looks like a will-o'-the-wisp.

Bah bah bah.

If anyone dares to use this scientific explanation to argue with Udur about the issue of will-o’-the-wisps,

Guaranteed to Udur, he will burst into flames on the spot!

Maybe he will even pull out his sword and fight the guy in front of him desperately!

The reason why Udu'er had such a strong reaction was because seeing is believing!

That is all his personal experience!

This morning, when it was almost 5 o'clock in the morning, Udur drank too much deer blood, and his whole body was hot. He was awakened by the strong urge to urinate in his bladder.

The watchtower for him to keep watch was narrow, and it was impossible to solve this problem inside.

So Uduer put on a thick cotton-padded jacket and prepared to perform a volley on the fence outside the guard box.

By the time he had just taken out the murder weapon and was brewing feelings.

But in the roaring fire, a burning piece of coal as big as a fist flew straight out of the roaring fire!

At this time, the sky was still dark and I couldn't see my fingers.

The entire sky was shrouded in darkness.

At this time, if someone uses a shovel to shovel out a piece of burning coal from a burning fire.

Take his yurt back and light the stove, as long as his position is clever enough.

So from the perspective of Udu'er, it is still possible that you can only see the red coal, but not the person.

after all,

The heat emitted by a lump of coal as big as a fist is large enough, but its light is not that sufficient.

Especially if there is wind on the deserted plateau and the wind blows against it, the little flame will float backward.

This will make the person holding the shovel even less visible to the people downwind.

But this time, Udur was clearly at the upper hand.

Moreover, it is now 5 o'clock in the morning, which is the coldest time in the morning!

Who would choose to get out of the warm bed at this time and come to lend a hand in the blazing fire?

You know, those who are qualified to live in the area outside the coal mine enclosure and in those yurts.

They are all masters, people who are being served every day! How could they come out so early in the morning and borrow a fire to light the stove?

When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!

Although Udu'er is usually lazy and has no formality at work, he is very fond of the noble people living in the yurt.

Udul is still very responsible.

Just to confirm, what is going on?

Udu'er didn't even bother to stuff the murder weapon back, he just swung it around and hurriedly ran back to the guard box and picked up a pair of obsolete 8-hand military binoculars.

Observe the situation carefully through the glass windows on the watchtower.

It’s okay if you don’t look at it, but it scares him when you look at it!!

Where is the figure?!

I saw that lump of red coal, rising and falling out of thin air, floating in the air.

And around the coal, there was no sign of anyone at all!!

Sometimes, there are impurities in the burned coal, which will cause it to explode.

Often at this time, what explodes are nothing more than broken cinders the size of fingernails.

How can a person with a fist as big as a piece of coal fly up and down like a light feather in the cold morning wind, and fly away without any haste?!

"Oh my god! Oh my god!"

With a "gudong" sound, Wu Du'er was so frightened by the strange scene in front of him that he fell to the ground: "Batu! Batu! Come on, get up!"

Udu'er was so frightened that he trembled all over and shook his companion as hard as he could: "Quick, get up, Batu, there is a ghost!"

"No, don't make any noise."

Batu, who drank too much last night, wrapped himself tightly in the quilt and said, "I still want to sleep."

To say that this Batu could really sleep, Udu'er's panicked voice couldn't really wake him up.

"Batu, there are ghosts."

Udu'er almost started crying: "It's wrong if there are ghosts stealing fire, and it's wrong if there are ghosts stealing coal."

Batu, who was curled up in the quilt, muttered something vaguely, "What are you talking about? Stealing, stealing coal? Who the hell would travel dozens or hundreds of miles to come here to steal coal?"

"If he really needs coal to burn at home, let him take it away."

Batu licked his lips and bent his body even harder, "Let him carry as much as he can carry!

Traveling 150 miles back and forth from the main highway to here to steal coal? Like Brother Dun, it’s more like stealing your sister!

If I were not willing to fuck your sister, it’s not worth it for me to brave the wind and snow and travel 150 miles to steal her."

"Batu, can you stand up?"

Udu'er half-knelt on the ground, peering out of the glass window, and continued to look at the 'will-o'-the-wisp' with fear: "Ah? It's over, it's over. It's over now!"

Batu ignored Udu'er's yelling and just closed the quilt tightly to sleep.

only

At this time, in Udu'er's eyes, there was no longer a ball, only a fist-sized will-o'-the-wisp.

Instead, it was surrounded by wooden fences, and the roof tent was burning with raging flames!!

This fire was extremely strange and burned extremely fiercely!

The wind helps the fire, and the fire borrows the power of the wind.

From where Udu'er had just seen the tent, a fire with thick smoke ignited, growing into a ball of raging flames that swallowed up all the tents.

The whole process took less than a minute!

So fierce!!

Udu'er looked straight at the yurt area where the smoke was billowing and the flames were billowing, and he couldn't help but be fascinated.

What kind of fire is this fire?

Every year on the prairie, there are many yurt fires caused by careless use of fire.

But how can there be such a reason as before, just blinking a few times, and then "whooshing", the entire yurt area was plunged into a sea of ​​​​fire?!

So that even the people sleeping in the yurts didn't even have time to cry out for help or howl?

"It's over, it's over."

Udu'er fell to the ground, "Even if the gods come, they can't save me. I'm sorry, damn, I have to find a job again."

"It's gone!"

Because the Doujiapan Coal Mine was covered by an earthen fence, the people in the miners' dormitories at the lower level were snoring loudly, but no one noticed anything unusual.

Only the people on the second floor of the two small buildings have larger and brighter windows because of their high locations and the people living in the buildings.

So the first person to notice the fire was Director Li, who lived on the second floor of the small building: "There's a water leak! Everyone, get up and put out the fire!!"

I heard Director Li roar like this.

People in the room at the front, back, left and right also woke up one after another at this time.

When they opened the curtains and saw the raging flames in the distance, they all couldn't help but turned pale with fright: "The water has broken out! Put out the fire, everyone, hurry up and help save people!"

"Dang Dang Dang——"

The electric bells used in coal mines to call everyone to meetings or when commuting to and from get off work reminded me of the shrill knocking sounds.

The fire this time was really too fierce.

The fire was soaring into the sky, and the thick smoke covered the entire wilderness. It even gave everyone the illusion that the entire sky was filled with thick smoke!

"Fight the fire!"

I saw disheveled coal mine workers either jumping behind the glass windows on the second floor of the small building, or standing behind the glass windows, yelling heart-breakingly!

Don't look at how happy everyone is.

But those who really dare to run downstairs to find a container of water and plan to rush out and put out the fire.

not a single one!!

Everyone was standing in the hallway, behind the windows, or even in the courtyard, shouting, jumping and jumping.

Everyone expressed the most serious concern for the area where the fire broke out, and expressed the highest sympathy with those who were swallowed up by the fire.

Besides, what else can they do?

The vastness of the wilderness is beyond the imagination of most people.

Even if you stand on the second floor of the small apartment on weekdays, you can clearly see the yurt.

But if you really want to bypass the gate of the earthen fence and run to the yurt with your legs, the distance is at least three or four miles!

It's just that it's far away.

In this wilderness where no grass grows and not a drop of water can be seen, even if people run past.

So what?

It's nothing more than watching the raging flames from hundreds of meters away, and everyone can only waste their efforts and worry.

Don't look at the anxious faces of the people in the coal mine.

In fact, they all knew in their hearts: Even if they ran over and risked freezing to death or frostbite, it was just a matter of warming themselves up across the fire from a distance.

Look at the posture of that ball of flames, and watch the sparks crackle and explode from a distance.

Even the most stupid person can understand: this fire cannot be saved!

Even if 10 fire trucks arrived at this time, screaming "ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo---screaming" fire trucks might not be able to suppress a fire of this scale.

The whole mining area was in chaos.

At this time, the miners were also awakened. Everyone wrapped themselves tightly in cotton clothes, ran to the yard, jumped on their feet, and looked in the direction of the yurt.

There was only one thing that Lao Tong cared about most, and he stamped his feet and said in annoyance: "It's over, my wages!"

Gu Xiangyu's eyes were rolling around, and his eyes were glancing at the watchtower at Tuweizi's gate from time to time.

The miners crowded in the yard in a dark and chaotic manner.

At this time, in an area far away from the miners' dormitories, in this power distribution room that no one has ever wanted to set foot in.

Luo Xuan stared coldly at the accountant in front of him: "Are you going to write it or not?"

The accountant smiled contemptuously. Unfortunately, the muscles on his face were already stiff from the cold. "Boy, if you let me go now, wait until I go to Brother Dun to say a few good words for you. Maybe they can let you go."

Die a happy death."

The accountant's eyes were full of contempt: "If I say good things for you, Brother Dun and the others won't break every bone in your body and then throw you to the dogs.

Boy, be brave, you are already dead! However, I can make you die quickly and painfully."

Luo Xuan didn't say a word, he just reached out and took a dirty rag lying in the power distribution room and stuffed it into the mouth of the accountant in front of him.

Then he used his thoughts and flew him out of the door of the power distribution room with his chair!

I saw this guy who was tied to a chair and wrapped tightly in cotton, slowly moving up and down the chair into the air.

Such a strange encounter scared the accountant so much that he peed on the spot!

Me, I can fly???

But, I am a Pig!

The accountant's heart beat faster: This, this is unscientific! It's unscientific, it's so unscientific.

As for the fact that he can fly, this strange phenomenon is far beyond his common sense.

Not to mention Newton was unconvinced, Confucius didn't understand, and Mencius was confused.

Even I can’t understand it!!

This accountant doesn't understand even more.

When the accountant reached an altitude of 3 or 4 meters, he was shocked and suddenly saw the raging flames in the distance.

It’s over!

As an accountant who has to keep a fire going every year, he knows exactly how much firepower the 2-meter-high fire has.

As for the raging flames in the yurt in front of me, its burning scale was at least dozens of times that of a roaring fire!

Not to mention the heat that reached thousands of degrees in an instant, and even the choking smoke, the accountant knew in his heart that there was absolutely no chance that anyone could make it out alive.

That side of the power distribution room is far away from the miners' accommodation area.

Although they are in the same neighborhood, if you really want to walk from the staff canteen to the power distribution room.

At least there is a distance of 5 or 6 hundred meters.

Moreover, it was pitch dark over there, and the flames over there in the yurt were raging and blazing.

With this contrast between light and darkness, it is even more difficult to see clearly in the distribution room.

——Besides, no one cares about this.

The yard outside the miners' dormitory was messy, noisy, and crowded, like ants exploding their nests. How could it be called a gibberish!

"Brother Zeng, what's going on?"

Luo Xuan was also casually wrapped in a cotton coat, and his cloth shoes were also casually piled on.

Luo Xuan looked around and asked, "Why, they lit all the big fires over there?"

"no."

Brother Zeng shook his head: "It's because of the water in the yurt."

"Did you get lost?"

Luo Xuan's face was full of confusion: "Then how could this fire burn so big? What happened when it lit up the entire sky? Then let's go put out the fire quickly."

Brother Zeng still shook his head: "How can we save it? Not to mention there is no water. Even if each of us carried a basin of water and ran over there, we probably wouldn't have gotten there yet! The water in the basin would have frozen into ice lumps.

Already."

"that is!"

A miner next to him nodded in agreement: "Besides, one person and one basin of water can't help! Even if one person carries 10 basins of water, it probably won't be enough."

Another miner curled his lips, "Carrying 10 basins of water? That's easy to say. I bet that if anyone can carry water and run back and forth three times, if he doesn't get tired and lie down, I will take his surname!"

There was also a miner with a face full of indifference: "Oh! God opened his eyes and sent down this fire from the sky.

Burn! Burn hard! Burn these wicked and black-hearted guys to death."

Everyone is having their own thoughts and talking about it.

I could only hear the iron gate of the compound creaking, and a group of people were taking advantage of the darkness to flee in a mess.

It turned out to be the managers at the mine. Seeing that the situation was over, they chose to abandon the mine and flee without hesitation!

They know best in their hearts that this coal mine belongs to the shady people. They all know in their hearts that if they don't escape now, they will wait until the relevant departments investigate.

Being managers in this coal mine is equivalent to acting as accomplices.

By the time,

One by one, they all must be severely punished!

The managers and guards all ran away.

The old colleague beat his chest and wailed loudly: "Director Li, Brother Dun, Accountant Wang, my wages! My eldest son plans to get married this year! Please give me your wages, please." Woohoo.”

Other miners, many of whom suffered the same fate as Laotong.

The rabbit dies and the fox is sad,

The old fellow felt sorry for his wages, which were destroyed by the fire in the yurt.

In the same way, other miners, more or less, still have unpaid wages from coal mines.

Now these miners couldn't help but feel sad, and each one of them hugged each other in the yard and cried.

Brother Dun, the person in charge of the coal mine, went to wait for the Fire Dragon King.

If he were alive in heaven, he would see so many miners in Doujiapan Coal Mine, howling and crying bitterly.

When he saw this scene, he didn't know whether Brother Dun should cry or feel relieved.

The miners cried sadly there.

At this time.

I only heard a loud bang at the coal mine's staff canteen door.

Gu Xiangyu crawled around and ran out with a look of horror on his face: "Quick, someone is coming! There is a ghost in the cafeteria!!"

Again, there’s a ghost again??

Everyone was shocked!
