At this moment, on the side of the main road only about a kilometer away from the scene of the fire, Lu Di, a news reporter from China Overseas Satellite TV, was angrily saying to the owner of a barbecue stall on the side of the road: "Lao Wang, what are you playing with me at night?

The owner of the barbecue stall was in his thirties, grilling a large handful of lamb skewers, while looking at the beautiful but somewhat angry beautiful reporter in front of him, and said with a smile: "Xiaodi, isn't it big news that the livestock truck hit and escaped?"

Lu Di said angrily: "People are just a little bruised, not even blood, when they see the camera, they say they won't be investigated, such material can't be broadcast at all, and you still tell me it's big news?"

The owner of the barbecue stall smiled and said, "Don't be angry, I won't charge money for this news, and if there is big news in the future, I will definitely tell you as soon as possible." ”

As he spoke, the boss handed over a handful of mutton skewers and said with a smile: "Come on, big reporter, eat a lamb skewer!"

"Don't eat! I'll lose weight!" Lu Di puffed out his cheeks, stomped his feet, then hesitated for a moment, counted three iron skewers from his hand, and said, "I'll eat three skewers, this is what you invited me! I won't pay!"

The owner of the barbecue stall said happily: "What kind of money to pay, as long as you Lu Da reporter say a word, I will also invite you for thirty or three hundred strings." ”

Lu Di pursed his lips, put the mutton skewers to his mouth, took a bite, chewed twice, and sighed: "Lao Wang, your skewer skills are indeed very good!"

"Of course. The boss raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "The authentic live sheep are now killed, eat one string and think eight strings, it's not enough to give you some more!"

"Enough is enough!" Lu Di said, "I usually don't eat at night, and I control my weight, but today is an exception." ”

The boss hurriedly said: "You said that you reporters are really hard, and you have to come out in the middle of the night to run the news." ”

Lu Di glared and said, "Don't be angry with me, Lao Wang, if it weren't for you, I would be home now." ”

The boss smiled and asked, "What news did you run away tonight?"

Lu Di said while eating skewers: "There was a bicycle thief, a lost child was taken in by the police station, and there was a pothole on the road that caused pedestrians to be injured while riding a bicycle." ”

The boss smacked his lips: "This is exactly the same as the news I provided!"

Lu Di said: "At least these can still be on the news and make up a long time, you don't even have the qualifications to be a scrap." ”

After speaking, Lu Di had already finished eating three skewers, looked at the large number of skewers in the boss's hand, smacked his lips, and said, "I won't tell you, I have to go back to rest, remember to call me next time I have news." ”

"Gotcha. The boss handed over another handful of skewers and said, "Why don't you take it and eat it on the road?" ”

"No, no, no. Lu Di said: "He doesn't like people eating in his car the most, and he can't do it himself." ”

After speaking, Lu Di took out twenty yuan from his pocket, put it next to the stove, and said, "Next time, fool me with trivial things, I really won't give a penny!"

The boss picked up the money and hurriedly wanted to return it to her, and Lu Di had already run quickly to a Poussin car sprayed with the logo of China Sea Satellite TV parked on the side of the road.

As soon as he got into the car, Lu Di saw the boss running over with the money, so he hurriedly said to the middle-aged man who was in charge of driving: "Brother Zhang, hurry up." ”

"Good. The driver nodded and drove off the intersection.

The car drove a few hundred meters, and the driver said: "Xiao Lu, what kind of money do you give him for such a small news, this material can't be adopted at that time, and the leader won't report this money." ”

As front-line reporters, they will more or less develop some of their own news informants, so that once there is any emergency, the informant will notify them as soon as possible, so that they will have the opportunity to get first-hand scoops.

In return, reporters pay informants hardship fees based on the size of the story, the speed of the story, and the expected impact.

Lu Di had just entered Taiwan, and he was not a local, so the informant did not go very well.

Lao Wang, the stall owner of the roadside barbecue stall, was still a cheeky "downline" developed by her when she was eating barbecue here.

Just now it was the first news from Lao Wang's newspaper, she ran over to take a look, it turned out to be a cattle cart delivering vegetables at the intersection, rubbing against a pedestrian, fart is a big matter, and pedestrians are not ready to investigate.

Lao Wang grabbed him, saying that he knew someone and could help him get justice, but the other party said that it was not easy to catch a car, and he didn't need to ask for any justice, but Lao Wang stuffed a handful of mutton skewers to others, and said that if you sit here, I will invite you to eat skewers.

If it weren't for Lao Wang's skewer skills, people would have really gotten up and left.

Thinking that Lao Wang used his own IC card to call himself and set up another skewer, Lu Di felt a little reluctant in his heart, so he paid out of his own pocket and gave him twenty yuan.

The driver, Lao Zhang, knew that the money would definitely not be reimbursed, and felt that Lu Di was a bit stupid.

However, he is not ready to share this cost with Lu Di, after all, he is only a part-time driver for photographers, although the two are usually duo partners, Lao Zhang drives and carries the camera, and Lu Di uses a microphone to appear on camera, but Lao Zhang is not linked to performance, after all, he can only be regarded as an assistant.

Looking for news, chasing news, and playing on the spot, this is basically Lu Di's responsibility, if he catches up with big news, it is also Lu Di's performance, so the cost of chasing news is also borne by Lu Di himself.

A few minutes after the car drove away, Lu Di's mobile phone suddenly rang.

Looking at the caller ID, it was the landline that Lao Wang called just now.

So she answered the phone and asked, "Lao Wang, what's the matter?"

Lao Wang's eager voice came from the other end of the phone, saying, "Xiao Lu, come quickly, there is big news! There is really big news!"

Lu Di sighed silently and asked, "What's the big news, my brother!"

"Fire! It's in the alley near me, it's going to be big!"

As soon as he heard about the fire, Lu Di's nerves immediately tensed.

Although her work experience is not very sufficient, she still understands the priority of fire in Taili.

In the past two years, the state has been focusing on promoting fire safety awareness, and at least half of the public service advertisements on TV stations are about fire protection.

There is a public service announcement specifically reminding the public to take precautions, in which a man smokes and throws it around, which causes a fire on the quilt;

There are also reminders to the public not to block the fire escape, the advertisement is a fire in a residential building, and the residents are blocked by the debris accumulated in the fire escape when evacuating;

There is even a public service advertisement, specifically for the public science 119 firefighting does not charge any fees, the advertisement is a factory on fire, the boss called 119 for help, and then asked: "How much is a fire truck?

If there are 10 PSAs on TV every day, at least five of them are these.

It is precisely because of the subjective awareness of cultivating the national fire prevention that the TV station is very keen on the fire report.

In the news department of China Shipping Satellite TV, there is an internal regulation that all fire news that causes minor injuries or more in the fire must be broadcast, and fire news that causes losses of more than 5,000 yuan must be broadcast.

Therefore, basically, as long as the word fire is stained, it is not small news in China Shipping Satellite TV.

When Lu Di heard about the fire, his heart was intertwined, that is, he was happy to catch the big news, but he was worried about the fire itself.

Professionalism still made her abandon all personal subjective consciousness in a few seconds, and asked Lao Wang: "Which lane is it?"

"In the light!" Lao Wang blurted out: "I heard from a guest, he said that he came out of the light, passed by and saw a building burning! Oh yes, he said that the building is still a black hotel!"

"Mom!" Lu Di's brain buzzed.

A building was burning, it was still a black hotel, Lu Di instinctively realized that this was likely to be a major fire, so he hurriedly said to the driver Lao Zhang: "Brother Zhang, there is a fire in the light, turn around quickly!"

As soon as the car drove out for three or four minutes, Lao Zhang immediately turned around and stepped on the accelerator as soon as he heard this, and two minutes later, the car had already rushed to the entrance of Guangmingli.

Because the buildings along the road on both sides of Guangming Lane are relatively high, the shantytowns inside are basically invisible from the outside, so Lu Di hurriedly urged Lao Wang to drive the car inside.

When he drove more than 100 meters, Lu Di could already see a fire reflecting in the sky on the right side not far away.

She hurriedly asked Lao Zhang to speed up and drove the car to the edge of the burning alley.

Lu Di looked around, and said eagerly: "I haven't seen the fire truck, I guess I haven't come yet, Lao Zhang, I'll carry the camera in first, you park the car outside and then come in to find me, don't use the car as a way in and out, otherwise it will be troublesome if the fire truck can't drive in!"

Lao Zhang nodded and said, "The camera is heavy, you be careful!"

"Good!"

Lu Di hurriedly got out of the car, took out the camera and the connected microphone from the trunk, and carried it in his hand with some difficulty, instinctively turned on the camera first, and then ran to the burning alley with the camera.

As soon as she rushed into the crowded and blazing courtyard, she was frightened by the sight in front of her and her legs went limp!

In the courtyard, there were many injured people and many young people carrying various fire extinguishers.

The fire gushing out of the windows on the second floor was very large, so it can be seen that the fire situation inside the second floor is very urgent.

The windows on the third and fourth floors were full of people calling for help, crying for help, they shouted for help through the anti-theft windows, which made Lu Di feel frightened, in her eyes, those anti-theft windows were no longer anti-theft windows, but the gates of purgatory......

She suppressed the fear in her heart and struggled to carry the camera to film the thrilling fire scene in front of her.

Now, the whole building has a certain chimney effect, and the fire downstairs is burning upwards, and if the fire is not extinguished as soon as possible, I am afraid that the people on the upper two floors will be in danger......

At this time, she noticed Xu Yiyang, Zhang Junnan, and other strangers in the yard who were in front of the two windows on fire, setting up a human ladder, and desperately spraying fire extinguishers.

So, she immediately turned her camera on these young people.

Because of the limited space, there are four people in total, and they are taking a ladder to spray fire extinguishers inside to suppress the billowing flames gushing out of the two windows.

Among them is Xu Yiyang.
