Chapter 57 Chapter 57(1/3)

On the terrace, Mrs. Zheng shouted that it was too hot, "The sun is making me dizzy. Don't clean it up. The firewood is all downstairs. Is there anything upstairs that can catch fire?"

Zheng Liangying is pulling the cloth strips pressed under the abandoned water tank. In her opinion, these discarded old clothes are very dangerous if they are left here. They are so dry and brittle in the sun. What if they catch fire?

"Mom, please go down and I'll do it myself." She was annoyed by what her mother said.

"Let me take a rest, I'm really dizzy, cough." She went into the attic to rest, but the ceiling was low, the air was not circulating, and it was extremely stuffy.

She fanned herself with her hands, sweat dripping down her face. She looked at her daughter outside and shouted, "I'll get you a towel downstairs to wipe your face."

Then she opened the door, and a wave of heat and smoke rushed toward her. Unprepared, Mrs. Zheng coughed violently.

"Ahem, why are you so smoky?"

At this time, Mrs. Zheng hadn't realized anything yet. She was thinking dullly about why the smoke from the fire over there was blown into the house.

She climbed down the stairs and saw smoke coming out from under the door of the second bedroom.

After being stunned for a moment, Mrs. Zheng finally realized something was wrong.

"Liang Dong, Liang Dong," she kept banging on the door and shouting, then raised her head and called to her daughter, "Liang Ying, come down quickly. Your brother's room is on fire. Cough cough cough cough cough."

Several loud shouts caused her to inhale a lot of smoke, causing her to cough non-stop.

"Ahem, cough, cough." Fortunately, Zheng Liangying heard the noise and went downstairs, and was stunned when she saw it.

"Brother Liang Dong's mother, where are the keys and the spare key?"

"I'll get it, I'll get it"

Next door in 801, Shao Shengfei was touching the newly emerged watermelon seedlings. Shao's mother was burning firewood and boiling water in the kitchen, preparing for her son and daughter-in-law to take a bath when they came back. Qiao Songzhi went to the utility room, and the sudden fire in the building next door reminded her of the fire at home.

She had to find the fire extinguisher.

The triple security door blocks dangers from the outside world to the greatest extent, and also blocks the transmission of key information.

Thick smoke billowed out from the 802nd floor and entered the homes of nearby residents.

Grandma Wang coughed uncomfortably, and her granddaughter-in-law cast a concerned look.

"It's okay, cough."

"The fire next door was so big that the smoke came here."

702. Chen Binggang’s wife looked over at the fire next door, with a look of sympathy on her face, “How can we live like this? Our family’s fortune has been destroyed.”

"Mom, please close the window. It's too hot outside and the air is not good."

"oh oh."

But with the windows closed, the smell in the room was still getting stronger and stronger, and the child couldn't help but cough.

"Why don't you open the windows to let some air circulate."

"Let me drive it, why are you so choked?" Zheng Xiuyi opened the window and saw smoke in the air. She subconsciously looked up and almost frightened her for half her life.

"There's a fire. There's a fire upstairs."

Downstairs, Qiao Qingqing and Shao Sheng'an just came down to the first floor, and Shao Sheng'an helped her pat the black dust off her body.

"Forget it if you can't take it off. Just wait until I get home and change my clothes."

Shao Sheng'an touched her hair distressedly, "The ends of her hair were burned." When he rubbed his fingers, the burned ends were broken.

"It's okay, you can help me cut it when you get home." Qiao Qingqing looked up at the third building, her eyes full of worry, "This fire may burn the whole building, and our fourth building is not safe anymore, with this high temperature

Due to the weather, even if the two buildings are five or six meters apart, the fire should not be able to burn from the ground, but we are afraid that sparks will fly out when the whole building burns. If even a little spark falls on our building, it may cause a fire. Below the seventh floor

But no one lives there.”

"Go home, let's discuss it with the seventh floor and 802, and send two people from each household to patrol the whole building. If any problems are found, they will be eliminated in time."

"It can only be the."

The two of them were discussing. The bright sun was so bright that it was hard to open her eyes. But at this moment, for some unknown reason, her heart suddenly started beating wildly. She raised her head to face the sunlight, and her pupils shrank instantly.

what did she see

what did she see

Qiao Qingqing subconsciously looked back at the third building, and then back at the fourth building to make sure she saw it correctly. There was a fire on the top floor of the third building, and there was also fire on the top floor of the fourth building.

how so

Shock and panic swept through her heart. At this moment, Qiao Qingqing's feet went weak. She held on to her husband's arm to steady herself.

"What's wrong with Qingqing?"

"It's on fire, the eighth floor is on fire." Her throat finally found her voice. Qiao Qingqing thought she shouted a warning loudly, but in fact her voice was very soft, trembling and frightened.

But after shouting out, all her timidity was spit out from her throat, and strength filled her limbs again. She pulled Shao Sheng'an, who was still confused, and ran towards home.

Shao Sheng'an was dragged away by her, and he looked up to see that there was really a fire. Thick smoke came out from the 802 house, and merged with the thick smoke from the eighth floor of the three buildings in the air, condensing into an unknown black dragon.

Like Qiao Qingqing, he was in disbelief at first, and then thought of his relatives at home, and his whole heart clenched together. It was no longer Qiao Qingqing pulling him to run, the two of them ran very fast together.

Shao's father happened to walk to the first floor. Seeing the two of them running so fast, he felt strange, "Why are you running so fast? The fire is out over there."

"There's a fire upstairs in Dad's house. Hurry up and go home to put out the fire."

"What?" Father Shao thought he heard wrongly, so he went downstairs. When he went downstairs, the house was fine.

After hesitating for two seconds, his son and daughter-in-law had already passed him and ran upstairs.

He hurriedly followed, running out of breath.

When Qiao Qingqing and others ran to the seventh floor, two households on the seventh floor discovered the fire and gathered around the eighth floor. Wang Jiaxin was knocking on the Zheng family's door.

"Open the door quickly, Uncle Zheng, Uncle Zheng, your house is on fire."

"Zheng Tiehui, your house is on fire. Hurry up and open the door."

Seeing Qiao Qingqing and his wife running up, Uncle Wang hurriedly shouted, "Hey Qingqing, there's a fire next door to your house, but the Zheng family doesn't open the door. What should I do? Oh my God, there's so much smoke."

Looking at the door of her house, Grandma Wang was leaning against the wall of her house with a cane and coughing. The door was open.

Looking up, she saw Qiao Qingqing and the others were back. She hurriedly said, "Qingqing, your mother answered the door. I've informed you."

Qiao Qingqing was very moved, took a breath and said, "Grandma Wang, I'll ask Sheng An to help you downstairs first."

"on fire"

"You go downstairs first and let your family members pack their things and make preparations first. The fire in the building next door cannot be extinguished. The fire is growing very fast and there is no way to control it. I'm afraid our building will have to be evacuated as well."

"No way, is it so serious?" Grandma Wang was stunned.

"You have to prepare for the worst, Sheng'an"

Shao Sheng'an immediately carried Grandma Wang downstairs and delivered her to the Wang family. Uncle Wang also held on to the guardrail and dragged his inconvenient legs downstairs.

"Qingqing, do you really want to move? Where can we go?" Wang Jiaxin asked. She looked at the sunlight outside, as if looking at a hopeless future.

"As long as you are alive, there is hope. Go downstairs and pack your things." After Qiao Qingqing finished speaking, she entered her home, intending to find tools to pry open the door.

When Shao Sheng'an went upstairs again, he saw his wife and father smashing the door of 802. Black smoke kept coming out of the crack in the door, but no one in the room opened the door.

"Where's Zheng Tiehui? I saw him downstairs just now. Why hasn't he come up yet?" Shao Sheng'an asked.

In the corridor on the first floor of the third building, the luggage of the 801 family who was on fire were piled up in a mess. A figure secretly bent over and reached for the bag. He vaguely heard someone talking, saying that there was a fire on the eighth floor, but he didn't take it to heart.

After stuffing the bag into his arms, he blinked to prevent sweat from blocking his vision, and reached out to another box.

"I didn't see him. I hope he comes back soon." Qiao Qingqing bit her lower lip. She was covered in sweat, but her mind was as clear as before. She looked at Shao Sheng'an, "Once the fire starts, there is no way to turn back.

, unless there is a high-pressure water gun or a large amount of water.”

But how precious is clean water in the last days?

And they took out a lot of water to put out the fire. How to explain it to the outside world?

Hearing the meaning in his wife's tone, Shao Sheng'an understood, "Then let's pack our things and move."

"I've already asked mom to pack her things and make preparations. Let's try again. If we can't pry open the door of 802, we'll evacuate."

"You go pack your things, I'll do it." Shao Sheng'an took the tool from Qiao Qingqing's hand, and Qiao Qingqing nodded.

At home, Shao Shengfei was frightened and kept asking, "Is it on fire? Is it on fire?"

Qiao Qingqing comforted him first, holding his shoulders firmly and staring into his eyes, "Brother, can you obediently wait for me at the door? We are going out to play later, and now we have to pack our clothes. Can you wait while we don't run around?"

"

"I, I can."

"Brother, can you really stop running around?"

Shao Shengfei nodded seriously.

"Okay, you can sit at the door now."

Shao Shengfei hurried out, not forgetting to hug his small stool. He placed the stool against the wall by the door, sat down with his legs together, and put his hands on his knees.

Shao's mother and Qiao Songzhi followed Qiao Qingqing's instructions to pack their things. They only packed their things for a few minutes. They were so flustered that they made no progress.

In the past few minutes, Shao Sheng'an and Shao's father came in. They failed to pry the door open, and no one came to open the door.
