Chapter 109 Mountain Fire Erupts
Afterwards, Tony and the others followed Lin Yuan to the antique shop, passed the treasures on hand, and were very happy after getting the money. Not to mention that they can do this every day, but they can make a fortune every month with Lin Yuan. Both Tony and David are satisfied.
Because of this, they paid more attention to Lin Yuan's personal safety. Together, the two of them upgraded the security measures for Lin Yuan.
That afternoon, Lin Yuan and the others saw billowing smoke rising from the north.
"Where's the fire?"
Lin Yuan was surprised that he didn't hear the sound of the fire truck.
In China, for such an obviously burning house, there is no need to call the fire alarm. Firefighters have already been dispatched.
"It must be a mountain fire!" the old uncle said.
Tony, Henry and others nodded in agreement with their uncle's statement.
Wildfires are too common here. Generally speaking, their attitude towards wildfires is laissez-faire and they do not interfere much. In the name of respecting nature.
Their government believes that wildfires are also a common natural phenomenon and should not be interfered with.
In fact, we just don’t want to spend manpower, material and financial resources on putting out fires, which is a thankless task.
Let it burn! Anyway, as long as no one is killed.
"Mountain fire, shouldn't we put out the fire?" Lin Yuan was surprised.
Henry smiled bitterly: "Brother Lin, you are overthinking. In the United States, there is no way to put out wildfires."
Sometimes, he also envies China. Their firefighters always rush to the scene as soon as possible. Even though they know there is danger, they still rush forward to protect the personal and property safety of ordinary people.
He knows very well that the so-called concept of respecting nature and complying with nature, that wildfires are a natural phenomenon, and are even sometimes regarded as a necessary process for renewing forest ecosystems, are nonsense and excuses.
The real reasons are many.
For example, political systems and administrative structures can lead to unclear responsibilities and slow action. For example, the relationship between the California government and the federal government is not a superior-subordinate relationship, but a parallel relationship. Therefore, the responsibility for firefighting and disaster relief mainly falls on the California government.
Secondly, the fiscal budget does not allow it. Although the U.S. economy is strong, it cannot handle large-scale disasters quickly and effectively on its own. Each state has its own budget and fiscal situation and may require additional financial investment to respond to disasters.
There are also partisan disputes and disagreements on major issues that may also affect disaster relief operations. For example, in the case of wildfires, parties may focus more on their own interests than on the overall good.
etc.
Just like the previous California fires, I had to watch them burn for so long. The San Francisco Bay Area was shrouded in orange smoke, the suburbs of Detroit were razed to the ground, and many western states were experiencing "doomsday" scenes, but they still ignored it. Let it burn.
To be honest, Henry felt that everything he said was an excuse.
If we really respect nature, then the entire United States should tear down its cities, move people across the country away, and let it return to nature.
If human beings want to survive and develop, they must fight against nature.
Since we respect nature so much, then everyone should just wipe their necks.
Don't start any war. After all, war is actually the most disrespectful and most damaging way to nature.
However, the war provoked by the United States around the world is well known to the whole world, and the Americans themselves are well aware of it. Now we are talking about respecting nature. If we don’t deceive ourselves and others, what else can we do?
Then some eldest nephews are still clearing ground for the US government.
If you say something bad about the United States or Western countries, it's like killing his whole family, or even worse than killing his whole family.
"Don't look at it, this kind of fire will definitely not be extinguished in a day or two." The old uncle said.
Fortunately, there is no strong wind now, otherwise it would be a disaster, and the gods would not be able to do anything about it. Sure enough, Lin Yuan could still see the billowing smoke the next day. Today, almost all of San Francisco is shrouded in a layer of smog. The clothes hung out on the balcony yesterday were all covered in dust.
How big a wildfire is this?
But no matter what, Lin Yuan had to get up. He had already made an agreement with Xiao Tai. He was going to treat him to dinner today and it was hard to miss the appointment.
They came to a tea restaurant in Wan Chai.
Although the boss is from Taiwan, he still has feelings for the mainland and the motherland. A five-star red flag is displayed in the store.
My old uncle also had an impression of this tea restaurant. He told Lin Yuan that this restaurant had been smashed by Wan Chai before because the boss said that people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait were one family, which made some people very unhappy.
Lin Yuan found that there were many Chinese people eating in the store. Most of these diners are relatively young, apparently international students, chatting with the boss.
The prices of the food in the store are okay and relatively affordable.
Some of the diners inside recognized Lin Yuan and came over to ask for photos and autographs.
Lin Yuan didn't put on any airs and took photos and signed autographs for the man. This made other people who didn't know Lin Yuan think that this was the star! It’s no wonder they think this way. The person asking for autographs and photos is most likely a celebrity.
"Which celebrity is he? I don't know him." Someone asked secretly.
This book was recently updated in ##六@@九@@书@@!! Updated!
"He's not a celebrity, he's just an Internet celebrity." The person next to the man told him.
"Ah! Internet celebrities? Is there no threshold for these people to pursue celebrities now? Do Internet celebrities also pursue them?"
"He is different from other Internet celebrities, you don't understand. To be precise, that person's fans are of good quality and have relatively few idiot fans. You don't understand."
Later, he told his friends what Lin Yuan did and how he became popular.
"Brother Lin, where do you plan to pick up leaks today?" asked the person who took the photo.
Lin Yuan shook his head: "There are no plans yet. I was just invited to eat out today. Brother Xiao will return to China with his sister tomorrow." Lin Yuan said.
The person who originally wanted to have a sip of soup with Lin Yuan heard this and had to leave, saying that he would meet again next time and would not disturb him for the time being.
"Okay! See you next time." Lin Yuan nodded.
Xiao Tai brought his sister over.
His sister looks okay, but her mental state is not very good.
Xiao Tai's sister learned that Lin Yuan was the savior, so she cheered up and said hello to Lin Yuan.
She knew very well that if it weren't for Lin Yuan's help, her brother would really not be able to find her in a few days. She heard that the gang wanted to sell her to a country in South America to work as a prostitute.
If she really goes to South America, what awaits her will be endless torture.
Of course, she also suffered a lot of torture during this period, but she finally got over it.
If you survive a catastrophe, maybe you will be blessed later! Next, she would go back to China with her brother and live peacefully without thinking about anything else.
"Brother Lin, let me toast you." As soon as he sat down, Xiao Tai's sister wanted to toast Lin Yuan a glass of wine.
Lin Yuan reached out to take down the wine bottle and said: "It's a small effort, it's not worth mentioning. You women, it's better to drink less outside in the future."
