Super short story

Curiosity

? An eagle waved its powerful wings and roared in the clear blue sky, and then plunged into the Qiufeng Ridge where the boundary could not be seen. This Qiufeng Ridge is where Amu grew up. ? The eagle rested on a straight tree. This tree was Amu. Amu is a young tree, only eighteen years old. In the long-lived tree world, it is as young as a human baby.

"Uncle Eagle, you went to inspect Qiufeng Ridge again! What interesting things happened this time?" Amu asked curiously, using a unique communication method in the animal and plant world. Little Amu admires Uncle Eagle very much, because Uncle Eagle can fly very high and see many interesting things, as well as those small humans who walk on two legs.

"Nothing interesting happened, little Amu. Qiufeng Ridge is still as peaceful as usual." Uncle Eagle replied gently.

? "That's it." Amu drooped the branches in disappointment, even the leaves were a little wilted.

Suddenly, Amu seemed to have thought of something again. While waving the branches and leaves, he shouted excitedly: "Uncle Eagle, in a few days, will there be many humans coming to our Qiufeng Ridge to set off those loud firecrackers?" !" Amu is very curious about the humans who often appear in Sister Magpie's mouth. They always have a lot of novel things, even though she has never seen them before. Therefore, Amu wanted to grow very tall, high enough to see where humans live.

"It's time. They should enter Qiufeng Ridge to worship in a few weeks. Little Amu, uncle is leaving, see you next time." After saying that, he fluttered his wings and flew away.

Amu waved the branches and leaves and said goodbye to Uncle Eagle. And determined to grow taller in these weeks and see more humans.

Signs

A week later, a bright black magpie landed on Amu’s branch. Amu greeted warmly: "Sister Magpie, are you here to play with me? By the way, Uncle Eagle hasn't come to see me for several days."

Sister Magpie did not use her usual lively tone to talk to Amu. He spoke with a voice full of sadness: "Little Amu, I have something to tell you, Uncle Eagle is dead."

"What!" Amu couldn't believe it, "How could Uncle Eagle die! He said he would see you next time!"

"Amu, don't be so sad, Uncle Eagle is old, he is 40 years old! His beak and claws are no longer suitable for hunting. Death in the mouth of a python can be said to be his relief," Sister Magpie sighed sadly. Sister Magpie and Uncle Eagle are mortal enemies. Uncle Eagle has always hated Sister Magpie approaching Amu, feeling that she will lead Amu into bad ways. Sister Magpie has always been unhappy with Uncle Eagle, thinking he is old and old-fashioned.

? Amu was silent. He had actually known for a long time that Uncle Eagle would die in front of him, but he didn't know it would come so quickly. The life of trees is always long. After they have witnessed many, many deaths, they will get tired of this life and fall into a deep sleep. Amu felt like he was going to take a nap.

."Sister Magpie, I'm going to take a nap. I don't know if I can see you when I wake up." Amu is actually very lonely, with only two birds to accompany him, mainly the eagle. Uncle accompanied him. Now that Uncle Eagle is dead, Amu doesn't know how to survive and can only escape.

Sister Magpie looked at him and then flew away. She actually had no feelings for Amu. She was just curious about him because he was the only tree that was not sleeping, and thus had some friendship with him.

Amu fell asleep, and fell asleep without even looking at the human sacrifice he was looking forward to. Therefore, he didn't know that a child had accidentally left a small magnifying glass, and the weather had been very hot in the days before the worship.

?

Devour

? Hot, hot, very hot! The fire that hit the sky enveloped Amu, and Amu woke up from pain. There was wailing all around, and the same kind who were usually sleeping were woken up by the pain. The tree in the center of the fire had been burned to ashes, and the trees fell one after another. The night sky was lit by fire as if it were day.

Amu couldn't help but wailed: "It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! Who can save me!" No one can save Amu, and Amu can't save himself.

? Fire trucks in the distance are arriving in a steady stream, and water jets are rushing towards the fire, but it is all in vain. The flames were constantly rolling and roaring, as if they were going to swallow up everything. Firefighters desperately tried to put out the fire. Human beings were so insignificant in front of the fire, and they were swallowed up by the fire in a short time.

? "Amu, be careful!" a firefighter shouted to his companions. But it was still too late. The young firefighter Amu was hit by the falling tree and fell into a coma instantly. Amu, who was already in a daze from pain, suddenly heard someone calling him. He steeled himself and looked around, only to find that it was not him. It turns out that there is also someone named Amu. Is he going to die too? The fire is really scary! Everything is burned, Amu thought. Amu comforted himself that he would never have to see fire again.

The fire became more ferocious and spread with unstoppable force driven by strong winds. Several more firefighters were knocked unconscious by the heat wave and were taken to a safe area for treatment by their teammates.

"Damn it! Why is there strong wind at this time!" The fire chief couldn't help but roared as he watched firefighters rushing into the fire one after another. But there is no way. Under the influence of strong winds, the fire has crossed the isolation zone and seriously threatened Qiufeng Village. An isolation zone of 30-50 meters must be immediately opened in front of the village to prevent the forest fire from spreading to the village. In addition, the evacuation of villagers must be organized in an orderly manner.

? Amu is dead, but his consciousness is still in Qiufeng Ridge. This is the first time Amu has seen the whole picture of Qiufeng Ridge. Qiufeng Ridge is really big. Even though he was being burned by fire, his beauty could still be seen, and a wave of heat passed through his consciousness and rushed towards the group of humans. It reminded Amu of the pain of being surrounded by fire. The bark burned into carbon and turned into ashes. In the end, there was no trace of his existence.

Amu silently watched the firefighters fighting hard. The fire burned for 15 days, destroying all life.

After the fire, most of the land in Qiufeng Ridge became scorched black. The Central Committee reported the casualties of the Qiufengling fire: 67 injured and 30 dead. Among them, the youngest firefighter Shi Mu, who was just 18 years old and one month old, died in his first fire-fighting operation. The total burned area reached 90 hectares, and the number of animal deaths reached as high as 500 million.

? Reincarnation

? Amu disappeared completely after the Qiufeng Ridge fire. The next year, life grew again on Qiufeng Ridge. The country promulgated a new forest fire prevention law and actively promoted forest fire prevention. Now the streets and alleys are full of propaganda slogans to prevent forest fires from happening again and prevent that tragic tragedy from happening again.

? The cause of the Qiufengling fire was not discovered that year. No one knew that the fire that shocked the whole country was caused by a small magnifying glass. The fire burned everything. The carbon ash formed by the Qiufengling fire became the nourishment of new life, and the fire brigade also poured in fresh blood. Everything seemed to be slowly returning to its original state, but the scars will always exist. If you forget them inadvertently, you may add more scars.
