Chapter 8 Life and Death
Hesitation is hesitation, but the slashing movements in Ren Ning's hands are non-stop.

Whoa!
He raised the knife and dropped it, and large tracts of bushes fell in response.

The high efficiency surprised the women who came behind.

However, Ren Ning frowned.

Although the northwest wind was blowing, the fire in front of us was too intense, and the raging fire still spread westward quickly, approaching the village in front of us step by step.

He looked back again.

There are not many yurts in the village but there are many cattle and sheep raised, so the village occupies a relatively large area.

Before the fire came, there were less than a hundred of them alone, and no matter what, they couldn't cut a long enough and wide enough fire barrier.

The others could also see clearly, their faces full of panic.

However, no one escaped, those who chopped continued to chop, and those who moved continued to grit their teeth.Everyone is doing their best to help.

"Yang Lan," the man next to him suddenly called out a name, "tell some people to go back and take the children and run west, hurry up..."

"Ah?" The girl named Yang Lan looked at him in shock, "Brother You Meng, what about you?"

"Run? It's useless!" Ren Ning yelled and interrupted the two of them, "Even if we can escape the fire and lose the tribe, how will their orphans and widows live?"

There was a dead silence around, and everyone including You Meng remained silent.

Although Ren Ning's words were rude, they were cruel facts.

On this vast grassland, even if small tribes support each other, it is not easy to survive.

Breaking away from the tribe and leaving alone, I am afraid that life will be worse than death with only a group of orphans and widows in the future.

"Then what should I do? Is the sky going to kill me?" Someone cried loudly.

"Crying is useless!" Ren Ning yelled again, "Hurry up and set fire around the village with fire. Fight fire with fire and try to burn a fire."

The people next to Qiqi were taken aback, "Is this useful?".

The people on the grassland are well aware of the horror of the fire, and they would never consider setting fire to the grassland on their own initiative.This is simply suicide.

"Of course it works!" Ren Ning glanced at the front lightly, "They all want to create a fire zone. Do these grasses and shrubs burn faster with fire or cut with a knife?"

"That's right." You Meng's eyes lit up, and he ordered decisively, "Life and death depend on this one action. Everyone hurry up and set the grass on the east and north sides of the village on fire."

He raised the machete in his hand, "Lanman tribe, if you want to live together, you must die together."

"If you want to live and live together, if you want to die together, you must die together." The crowd responded loudly and ran to the village like crazy.

crackling.

After a while, thick smoke and flames burst into the sky around the village.

As the northwest wind blew, the small flames in front of my eyes burned more and more vigorously, and quickly flew towards the east in one piece.In less than a few breaths, it was burned together with the raging fire not far away.

All the people of the Lanmang tribe tightly grasped the small bushes used to extinguish the fire, staring at this scene vigilantly, with their hearts in their throats.

After a long while, the raging fire did not intend to go out, but there was no sign of it spreading westward to the village.

Everyone looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Great, we finally survived."

"It's God's blessing." Someone's knees softened, and he immediately bowed to heaven and earth.

"If it's a fire from heaven, then there's nothing to say. If I let Lao Tzu know that the fire was set by someone, I guarantee that those grandchildren will die without a place to bury them."

……

The crowd is cheering.

crackling.

Suddenly there was a loud voice behind him.

Everyone couldn't help but turned around and looked at him loudly, and suddenly shivered.

At some point in the west of the village, a raging fire also ignited, and it was burning towards the village irresistibly along the direction of the wind.

For a moment, the Lanmang people didn't know whether to rejoice or despair.

Fortunately, the women and children were not allowed to retreat westward just now, otherwise they would have just crashed into the fire and would have nowhere to run.

Desperately, the fire burned to the village immediately, and now there is no time to burn a fire zone.

Even if there is time, but the wind is not in the right direction, the quarantine belt will not be burned at all, but it may set their own village on fire first.

Moo moo!
BAA Baa baa!
咴咴咴!
As the fire approached rapidly, the livestock in each circle also sensed the danger, and were frantically bumping against the wall of the circle, trying to escape.

For a while, the violent sound of the fire, the screams of the livestock, the crying of the children and the comforting voices of the parents mixed together, and the surroundings were in chaos.

There are fires all over the east, west, north, south, and the village is stuck in the middle, what should I do?
Many people, including You Meng, subconsciously looked at Ren Ning.

"If the green hills remain, we are not afraid of running out of firewood." He shouted loudly, "The fire is too big. Everyone gave up their yurts and livestock. They all jumped into the water source and tried to hide as much as possible!"

If you can't escape, you will die!
The herdsmen woke up as if they had just woken up from a dream, and without thinking too much, they picked up their children and helped the old man to turn around and run to the south of the village.

Where there are people, there must be water.The Lanmang tribe raised so many livestock, Ren Ning estimated that their water source would not be small.

However, following the crowd to the water source, he couldn't help being dumbfounded.

There is only a small puddle about ten square meters in front of me, not even a pond.The water is even shallower, it can't squeeze these hundreds of people at all.

Ren Ning almost wanted to slap himself.

That's right, the Lanmang tribe has only so few people, even if they can find a good water source, they won't be able to occupy it at all.

"There is too little water. Everyone wet their clothes and cover their faces to prevent the smoke. Go back to the burnt place in the east. It is safer there."

"Do as he says." The tall and tall Youmeng looked at the approaching fire from the west, his eyes turned red, "Hurry up! Everyone line up, don't mess with his code, the elderly and children go first!"

His prestige is very high.Nearly a hundred panicked people instantly lined up in four crooked rows and headed towards the puddle one by one.

Soak your clothes, cover your face, and run back without saying a word.

Ren Ning and You Meng glanced at each other, they were both at the back of the row.

When it was their turn, the fire had rushed into the village, instantly igniting several yurts in the west, crackling and burning like torches.

"Don't even look at it. Run!" You Meng hurriedly urged.

Looking at the distance, Ren Ning soaked his clothes unhurriedly, and even calmly filled a few bamboo tubes with water before running to the east of the village.

As for whether the water quality is clean or not, it doesn't matter.

At this time, the east of the village was already shrouded in thick black smoke.

The person who ran back couldn't see his fingers, so he could only scurry around in a daze while coughing frantically, trying to find a safe place.

It's just that I can't see it with my eyes, and the ground under my feet is still hot after being roasted.They were dizzy again from the fumes, and for a moment felt that there were many dangers everywhere, and they didn't know what to do.

Ahh!

In the chaos, several screams sounded.

I don't know what happened. Someone fell to the ground and was stepped on a few times.

"Come my way! There's not much smoke here."

In the panic, Ren Ning's voice sounded.

He could find the direction without eyes, not to mention that his golden finger clearly showed the danger level nearby. Ren Ning found a safer place without any difficulty, and then called out to everyone.

His Xiliang language is very bad, and his dry mouth and tongue are hoarse, which is very unpleasant.However, to the ears of the Lanmang people at this time, it seemed to be like the sound of heaven.

The blue-mans people, who had been smoked into headless flies, suddenly had some backbone, and they all went to the place where Ren Ning made his voice, and walked out of the smoke not long after.

Cough!

Everyone coughed, almost coughing up their lungs.

They wiped away the tears from Xun, opened their eyes and looked around, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Although there is smoke here, it is not serious.The most important thing is that the surroundings are bare, so there is no need to worry about being burned by fire.
