"Besides, a wildfire of this scale won't stop burning for days, maybe even more than ten."
Cheng Zongyang shook his head. "This is beyond human control. It will either burn itself out or be put out by a downpour."
At the mention of a downpour, Zhou Hanchang gave a wry smile. "Where would rain come from? No, we can't stay here. We have to find a way back, check the village outside, and see if we can take shelter there."
Cheng Zongyang replied helplessly, "Uncle, we'd have to be able to get through the fire first."
They had no choice but to stay put.
Fortunately, they had the pool water to cool off. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to stand the heat for much longer. Meanwhile, his uncle continued to give the animals water to drink and cool them down.
This was only possible because the flow of water from the bamboo pipe buried underground hadn't been cut off; otherwise, there wouldn't have been nearly enough water for all the animals.
