Chapter five hundred and eighty sixth hot pot restaurant fire
Yang Lina did not expose Shi Chunhua. She glanced at Shi Chunhua doubtfully, took Li Jingming's hand and walked towards the hot pot restaurant.
"Didn't you leave? Why are you back?"
Shi Chunhua couldn't help but ask.
Yang Lina was startled, and a flash of fear flashed in her heart.
For a child who has never eaten sweets with real meaning, a small gesture from others is enough to move her.
Yang Lina seemed to understand that Shi Chunhua, who was not kind on the surface, actually had subtle changes in her heart.
She came here at night and watched all the clowns leave in the dark, so she carried this load of water and wanted to go back.
Maybe in fact, Shi Chunhua didn't really hate herself.
A trace of relief flashed in Yang Lina's eyes, and she turned around and said, "I'm not worried, I want to go and have a look."
Yang Lina quickened her pace, her right eyelid twitched, and she couldn't help but feel impatient in her heart.
At the entrance of the hot pot restaurant, in the quiet night, a group of figures waited for the surroundings to quiet down, then ran towards the hot pot restaurant with gasoline in their hands.
The smell of gasoline filled the air. Several people moved quickly, pouring gasoline on it, and flashing lighters through the air. The raging fire instantly spread wantonly with the wind, like a beast with a huge mouth.
Yang Lina turned around the intersection, and the red light in front of her stopped her steps.
She couldn't muster the courage to move forward.
Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat, and her heart sank to the bottom.
She felt like her legs were weighing heavily and she couldn't lift them up.
Li Jingming also saw the flickering firelight in front of him. The cold wind of the winter night blew freely, and Yang Lina felt cold to the bone.
Finally, the legs were lifted up weakly, and they walked forward almost numb.
Li Jingming held Yang Lina tightly by his hand and ran forward in large strides.
At the entrance of the hot pot restaurant, the air was filled with the smell of gasoline, and the fire was fierce and winding.
Yang Lina looked at the scene in front of her, her eyes turned red.
Despite all the precautions, she still failed to guard against it.
Susan Shan, Wang Lan…
Yang Lina gritted her teeth and couldn't help but tighten the hands hanging on the sides of her legs.
Her shoulders were trembling, and her body was weak and weak as she looked at the wild flames in front of her.
"It's so damn..."
Li Jingming cursed and looked around.
When the store was renovated, bamboo and wooden boards were used on the outside. Just a few minutes after they left, the fire burned so fiercely, and there was still the smell of gasoline in the air, indicating that they did it intentionally.
Li Jingming was a little annoyed, looked around, and pulled Yang Lina to a safe place.
"Stay here obediently. I'll be back in a moment."
Li Jingming's figure quickly disappeared.
There was an iron window at the back of the hot pot restaurant. The fire had not spread to the back of the building. He had to find a way to get in from behind the window and connect the water to the third floor.
If the speed is fast enough, remediation can be done in time.
Li Jingming knew that this was Yang Lina's hard work, and he couldn't just watch it be destroyed in front of her eyes.
Li Jingming opened the guardrail on the window with his bare hands to create a gap for his body to get through.
He quickly got into the kitchen, found a rag and wet it to cover his nose and mouth.
Fireproof water pipes were prepared before the building was renovated, and they were just in use at critical moments.
Li Jingming quickly went up to the third floor holding the water pipe.
He tied the water pipe to the faucet in the bathroom on the third floor, turned on the faucet, and plugged the water pipe out of the window.
All the movements were done in one go. When the water droplets falling from the sky fell on Yang Lina's face with the wind, her whole body swayed softly.
She quickly stretched out her hand to hold the sycamore tree nearby, her misty eyes seemed to see hope.
When she saw Li Jingming's tall figure standing at the window on the third floor, she couldn't control it anymore and burst into tears.
The moment Li Jingming stood on the window, Yang Lina saw hope.
"Daughter-in-law, don't be afraid. I'm here. Just stand still and don't move."
Yang Lina felt that she heard the most beautiful voice in the world.
She swallowed more and nodded slightly.
She prayed in her heart, praying that he would be safe.
Li Jingming smiled, and the two of them looked at each other affectionately, like a scene of lovers watching each other, filled with sorrow and joy, but unable to let go.
Li Jingming saw that the water pipe was very long, so he blocked the water pipe with the window, turned around and quickly went to Yang Lina's office to find a razor blade, turned back and cut the water pipe, tied it to another faucet, and pulled the water pipe up to the roof.
People around who were sleeping late, either saw the light reaching into the sky, or heard the roar of the fire, and rushed out to help.
Not far away, Shi Chunhua took a few steps forward, turned around and saw the fire all over the sky, and hurried over again carrying water.
She looked at Li Jingming on the roof in shock, and at Yang Lina downstairs who was covering her mouth with tears in her eyes. She suddenly felt that Yang Lina was the happiest woman in the world.
"What's going on? Why did it catch on fire after everything was fine?"
"Shh, keep your voice down. I don't know if this shop owner has offended someone. My dog kept barking at that time. When I came out, I saw three or four people sneaking around. Who knows if it was those people who did it."
"Maybe that's it. This boss is very loyal in doing business. Who knows if that bastard is jealous or not on purpose. Let's go and put out the fire first."
"Let's go, let's go."
Several people on the side were discussing in low voices, but Yang Lina was expressionless when she heard it.
She gritted her teeth, and her originally resentful eyes instantly became firm and severe.
Some people wanted to see her cry, but she told her that she was unhappy.
Yang Lina wiped the tears from her cheeks with her sleeves, and her eyes became increasingly brave as she fought.
Just a small fire made her cry and give up.
Dreaming, she doesn't want to.
In less than ten minutes, the fire was completely extinguished.
Li Jingming stood on the roof and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, okay, the loss is not big.
He took back the tube and didn't dare to delay. He was afraid that Yang Lina couldn't bear it and wanted to be with her as soon as possible.
"Thank you, brothers. I'm really sorry for causing trouble to you in the middle of the night."
Yang Lina's eyes were red. She smiled and nodded to those who helped put out the fire.
Thanks to these people, her store can be saved.
"Hey, why are you so polite? We are all neighbors. We are still waiting to come to your restaurant for dinner after the new year."
"Don't worry, brothers, I'll treat you to a meal when it opens after the new year."
Yang Lina smiled and watched the elder brothers leave.
She took out the key, opened the rolling shutter door, and Li Jingming walked out.
Through the light in the store, Yang Lina saw that Li Jingming's face was so smoked that it was completely black, and only a pair of black and white eyes were flashing.
Yang Lina pursed her lips and smiled lightly, tears falling down her cheeks. She stretched out her arms and trotted towards Li Jingming and threw herself into his arms.
Before he could speak, she stood on tiptoes and covered his lips with her mouth.
