Chapter 180 Liu Dadong fell into the pit
The wildfire in the mountains was not completely extinguished until midnight. Liu Danan and Liu Dadong, who had been watching the fire, immediately told Su Yue when they saw the fire was out.
Su Yue heaved a sigh of relief when she learned that the wildfire was finally out. Fortunately, she had asked Liu Shan to dig an isolation zone before, otherwise the surrounding building would have been burned to ashes.
Nanny Yang asked in confusion, "It's really strange, how come the wildfire was extinguished all of a sudden? It wasn't raining either, could it be that someone secretly helped put out the fire?"
Liu Danan scratched his head and said, "There shouldn't be anyone. We have been observing and didn't see anyone else coming to help put out the fire. But the way the fire was put out was indeed a little strange."
Liu Dadong also echoed: "Brother, do you think there is some god in this mountain protecting our tower? I heard that there is a mountain god deep in this mountain." After saying this, there was still a hint of awe in his eyes.
Honeysuckle rolled her eyes at Liu Dadong and said, "What mountain god? That's a lie made up by the old people in our family because they were afraid that we would go into the mountains. Do you believe it?"
Su Yue gently waved her hand, interrupting their argument: "You don't have to argue anymore. A big reason why it went out is that there is nothing left to burn, so it goes out on its own.
However, it is a good thing that the wildfire is out. Now you need to take a few people to check the situation around the wildfire to prevent it from reigniting."
Liu Danan and Liu Dadong responded and took a few servants, each carrying a bucket of water, to the isolation zone.
Although it was already late at night, because the wildfire had just been extinguished, the air around them was still very hot, and everyone was feeling dizzy from the stuffiness.
When we arrived at the isolation zone, we saw burnt trees lying all over the place and the air was filled with a pungent smell of smoke.
Liu Dadong couldn't help coughing a few times and muttered, "This forest fire is really terrible. A good forest was destroyed just like that."
Liu Danan waved his hand in the air and frowned, "Let's check around quickly to make sure the extinguished wildfire shows no signs of reigniting."
Liu Dadong nodded, and separated from the servants to carefully check the isolation zone and the surrounding area.
They carefully moved among the scorched earth and broken wood, keeping their eyes fixed on every corner where there might be hidden dangers.
Liu Danan bent down and used a wooden stick to gently poke the embers on the ground that were still smoking. He found some unburned hay under one of the embers. He quickly picked up the hay and stepped on the ember hard to make sure it was completely extinguished.
One of the servants saw that a part of the center of the tree stump was burnt out, with a few sparks and wisps of smoke coming out, so he poured half a bucket of water into the stump until the fire was extinguished.
Liu Dadong was checking along the edge of the isolation belt. He found that the isolation belt prevented the wildfire from spreading to the surrounding building.
But on the side close to the wildfire, the soil in some places was cracked by the fire, and he was worried that the Mars from the ground would drill through these cracks to the isolation zone. So he carried a bucket and watered the cracked land.
Because too much water was poured, the originally dry and cracked land became very slippery. In addition, it was late at night, and Liu Dadong did not notice the big pit diagonally in front of him. He slipped and fell into the pit.
"Dadong!" Liu Danan exclaimed when he heard the noise and hurried over to check. The other servants also gathered around and shouted nervously into the pit: "Dadong, are you okay?"
After a while, Liu Dadong's voice came from the pit: "Brother, I'm fine, just a little scraped. But there seems to be something under the pit."
Liu Danan lit a torch to see more clearly, but the pit was quite deep and he couldn't see clearly what was going on underneath. So he could only shout, "Dadong, don't be afraid. Just be patient down there. I'll get someone to bring a ladder over."
Because the walled yard was built high, several very long wooden ladders were customized. In the current situation, they were perfect for rescuing Liu Dadong.
After hearing Liu Dadong's response from the bottom of the pit, Liu Danan immediately asked two servants to go back and carry the wooden ladder back, while he and the remaining two servants stayed here to prevent any danger from happening.
The two servants also quickly ran back to the tower and found Song Mingtao to tell him about the matter.
When Song Mingtao heard this, he immediately sent someone to notify Liu Shan, and then took a group of people and carried a long wooden ladder to rush to the isolation zone to rescue people.
When Song Mingtao and his men arrived at the big pit, Liu Danan and others breathed a sigh of relief.
When Song Mingtao looked at the bottomless pit, he felt terrified, "Dadong...are you okay?"
"He said it's not a big deal, just some scratches. You should quickly put the ladder down." Liu Danan replied to Song Mingtao while asking others to carefully put the ladder down to the bottom of the pit.
After ensuring that the wooden ladder was stable, Liu Danan shouted to Liu Dadong in the pit: "Dadong, the ladder is ready. Climb up slowly. We will meet you here."
Liu Dadong responded from the bottom of the pit, and with the faint light of the torch, he discovered that there was a burnt wolf, rabbit and a sika deer around the bottom of the pit.
It was getting darker and Liu Dadong couldn't see clearly. He could only smell the strong smell of blood and burnt hair at the bottom of the pit, which almost made him want to vomit.
The wolf and deer were large, so Liu Dadong couldn't bring them up because of the pain in his body. He had no choice but to wrap up the burnt rabbit, put it on his back, and climbed up the wooden ladder with difficulty.
Although Liu Dadong's movements were difficult, he took every step firmly. Finally, with the help of everyone, he returned to the ground safely.
Seeing Liu Dadong with his upper body naked and the thing wrapped in clothes on his back, everyone was very curious.
"What is this?" Song Mingtao asked curiously, while reaching out to take the package from Liu Dadong's back and opening it carefully.
A burnt but still recognizable rabbit appeared before everyone's eyes. Its fur had been licked by the flames, leaving little behind, and its body curled up into a ball, looking particularly miserable.
"This is what I found at the bottom of the pit. It must be a rabbit that was unfortunately affected by the wildfire. It may have fallen into this trap while escaping.
There is a wolf and a deer below, you can go down and get them up. After all, it is meat, and the smell of blood in the pit is quite strong. There may be other wild animals. "Liu Dadong explained, his tone full of excitement.
After Liu Danan checked Ye Dadong's body and found nothing wrong, he said, "I guess that pit was a trap dug by a hunter. There might be animal traps in it. You are lucky that you didn't fall into it."
After hearing what Liu Danan said, Liu Dadong nodded with lingering fear, "Brother, you are right. When I was down there, I was busy looking at the animals that were burned to death, and I didn't pay much attention to whether there were any traps."
