Chapter 32: Accidents Happen Unexpectedly
[3Qโ รท โ .], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
Now I began to worry about the question of whether to go or not, it was already a little late, since I had promised the other party, after a little entanglement, Liao Qingmei began to prepare to go out.
It's not about dressing up, it's about preparing dinner in advance to save Liao's mother.
After steaming the rice, washing the vegetables, and taking care of herself a little, half an hour passed, and after Liao Qingmei asked her neighbors to help watch the stove, she hurried out of the house.
The sunset illuminated a large area of the sky, and the gorgeous sunset was amazingly beautiful, and the only discord was the smoke in the direction of the factory.
It must be which factory is burning industrial waste again!
There are always a few days a month, some factories in the factory will gather to burn some waste that cannot be recycled, such as the glue and leather in Liao's mother's factory, not to mention the smell of burning, and a lot of smoke.
It's a pity that people nowadays don't pay attention to the environment, and they can't find a department to manage it.
Liao Qingmei wrinkled her brows, and finally sighed helplessly, she should be glad that they don't have a chemical factory here, thinking of the workers who caused cancer because of pollution in the news in later generations, Liao Qingmei's heart shuddered.
The owner of their shoe factory here is slamming the door, but it is not black-hearted, and at least after decades, he has not heard of any cancer-causing cases.
Liao Qingmei couldn't worry about these things, she looked at the time, it was not early, and she hurried all the way to the sunset.
On her feet, she should be able to reach the cinema five minutes before the agreed time.
Liao Qingmei has a very good sense of time, she doesn't like to wait for people, of course she doesn't like to make people wait, and she doesn't like people who can arrive on time, but they hide their careful calculations and calculate that the time is a few minutes or ten minutes late.
From the compound to the county town to pass through the factory, usually this point is the time to get off work, the road is mostly people riding bicycles to and from work, but today the road is quiet people, almost no people.
Quietly panicking, Liao Qingmei's eyelids suddenly jumped without warning.
Liao Qingmei rubbed her eyes, could it be that she has been busy with the stall recently and is a little too tired?
The words of the left eye jumping wealth and the right eye jumping disaster, since Liao Qingmei watched a popular science program in her previous life, she was worried to death at first, but later found that nothing had happened.
was thinking nonsense, there were more people getting off work at the gate of the factory, and they left in twos and threes, the corners of Liao Qingmei's mouth hooked slightly, and sure enough, she was thinking too much.
In order not to be late, Liao Qingmei quickened her pace, and she didn't distract herself from listening to the speeches of the off-duty workers for a while.
There is a Lei Feng Cinema in Jingbei County, and I don't know when it was there, it seems to have been there all along, but Liao Qingmei came for the first time in her previous life and present life.
There is a small blackboard hanging next to the ticket window at the gate, on which are chalked the movies and the number of screenings to be shown today.
There are not many movies that can be shown in the cinema in the small county, Liao Qingmei heard Ren Guiyun say that occasionally a few Hong Kong films will be released, but it depends on luck, most of the time those old films are playing on a loop.
The small blackboard is not very clean, and the handwriting is a little blurry, and only the word Shaolin can be seen clearly.
The people who bought the tickets were men and women in pairs, and Liao Qingmei was embarrassed to get closer, standing in the hall and waiting.
On the left side of the hall is the ticket seller, and on the right is the counter selling snacks, and the counter is guarded by a fashionably dressed woman with big curly hair and thin and long eyebrows.
Silently calculating the business of the snack counter, Liao Qingmei didn't notice the passage of time at all, and when the movie opened, the hall became empty, and Liao Qingmei was still silently calculating the half-hour flow of water at the counter in her heart.
Even if the cost of rent-away relationship is removed, it is much more cost-effective than her setting up a stall, and she doesn't need to be exposed to wind and sun.
It's a pity that at this time, public territories such as theaters, canteens, bathrooms, etc., will definitely not be able to be won without a strong relationship, and if Liao's mother wants to be so relaxed, Liao Qingmei can only think about it in her heart.
"Little girl, it's open, can't you get in?" The uncle who guarded the screening hall came out to close the door, saw Liao Qingmei still standing in the hall, and greeted her loudly.
Liao Qingmei woke up and looked back, "Me?"
Seeing the uncle nodding, Liao Qingmei hurriedly waved her hand, "No, no, no, I ......"
I'm here to wait for someone, but what about people?
Liao Qingmei, who realized it later, realized that she was the only guest left in the entire hall, and even the fashionable woman guarding the counter locked the cabinet and left with her high heels.
Gu Minglang actually broke the appointment? Liao Qingmei subconsciously refuted this, although she felt that Gu Minglang was a little frivolous and prodigal, but she subconsciously believed in her heart that as long as he said it, he would definitely do it.
If it is not done, then there must be some irreversible reason.
Thinking of his profession, Liao Qingmei shook her head, when Liao's father was a civilian and followed the army on a mission, it seems that he can't wait for anyone today, so he raised his feet and prepared to go home.
When I got out of the cinema and arrived at the intersection, I was about to cross the street when I heard the words of the fashionable woman in the theater who walked behind Liao Qingmei with a tall young man in tow.
"When did the shoe factory fire ignite? I saw smoke coming from a distance, and I thought it was burning garbage, but it wasn't that it hadn't burned before, and no one died, oops, it's terrible......
A shoe factory on fire?
In an instant, Liao Qingmei's mind went blank, and only the click of women's high heels echoed.
It was as if a thin heel was stepping on her heart.
"What did you just say?" Liao Qingmei grabbed the woman's hand and unconsciously forced.
"Hey, what are you doing, you're nervous, don't you let go of me quickly......" Anyone walking on the road with a good sense and suddenly being stopped by someone holding his hand and blocking the way will not be in a good mood, Liu Sumei shook her hand, and she hasn't shaken it off yet.
She frowned and was about to curse, but the young man next to her stopped her.
Realizing Liao Qingmei's appearance at this time was too scary, with a pale face, blood-red eyes, and trembling lips.
"I ...... I just said that there was a fire in the shoe factory, so I didn't say anything else......" Before Liu Sumei's words were finished, Liao Qingmei let go of her hand, and suddenly took two steps back, only to suddenly come back to her senses and run desperately in the direction of the shoe factory.
"Crazy!" Liu Sumei rubbed her reddened wrist and scolded unhappily.
Jiang Jingcheng frowned, his eyes followed Liao Qingmei's panicked figure away, and it took a while to take it back, "You don't say a word." โ
"Look at my hands, isn't this crazy? Tell me what's wrong~"
*****
There are many factories in Jingbei County, and there are also a few shoe factories, but there is only one shoe factory in the factory area, which is the one where Liao's mother works.
Thinking of the smoke you see before you go out, and the empty streets, and the eyelids that jump non-stop...... Obviously, she already has a show of respect, why she didn't find out anything wrong, obviously she just needs to ask casually.
Liao Qingmei couldn't wait to slap herself twice, running faster and faster, tears were blown directly to the back of her head by the wind, and she kept silently thinking in her heart.
Don't get into trouble, don't have an accident!
Outside the shoe factory, there was a lot of noise, firefighters, police, doctors, and many frightened workers, crying and shouting.
Liao Qingmei searched for a long time and didn't find Liao's mother, she wanted to enter the shoe factory but was stopped by the fire guard at the door, and several people were also stopped.
"You let me in, my mother may still be inside!" Liao Qingmei looked at the factory that was blackened by the fire, crying and trying to rush in.
She has no reason at all now, and her whole person almost collapsed, if it weren't for the idea of finding Liao's mother to support her, she would definitely faint.
The firefighters who stopped them shouted that all the personnel in the distillery had been evacuated, but no one believed them, and they wanted to rush in for only one reason, that is, they did not find their families.
"The fire has been extinguished, please let me in, please......"
"Mom!
"Sister!"
โโฆโฆโ
"Can't go in! Can't go in! The fire has just been extinguished, and it's still dangerous inside! Believe us, the shoe factory has been evacuated, all have been evacuated!" shouted the firefighter in a hoarse voice.
Maybe it's because the movement here is too big, the workers who are huddled together find it here, and when they see familiar people, they immediately pounce on them, and those who rush in in a hurry find that their relatives are just mixed in the crowd.
But Liao's mother still didn't appear.
"Really?" Liao Qingmei held on and asked with difficulty, "Is there really no one inside?"
The firefighter nodded with a heavy expression, "All staff have been evacuated." โ
"That'...... Can I ask about the casualties? I ......" Liao Qingmei grabbed her chest, where the pain was so painful that she couldn't breathe.
The caregiver who replied to him before was about to speak, but was stopped by the one next to him, looking at their expressions, Liao Qingmei still didn't understand something.
There was such a big accident in the shoe factory, there must have been casualties, if ......
Liao Qingmei's eyes suddenly blackened and her legs became weak, and she fell down, and just when all the bad thoughts in her mind were overwhelming, she suddenly fell into a warm embrace.
Gu Minglang, who was gray-headed and dirty, and couldn't see his original appearance at all, carried a large bundle of ropes and grabbed Liao Qingmei who was falling with one hand.
"Auntie is fine, you can let it go!" A deep voice sounded in Liao Qingmei's ears, but at this time, it was like heaven for her.
"Gu Minglang, what you said is true!" Liao Qingmei asked word by word, she didn't even notice it, and she trembled violently when she said every word.
Her eyes were fixed on Gu Minglang's eyes, refusing to let go of a trace, for fear that he was lying to her to appease her.
There were already people shouting "Team Gu" over there, and it seemed that something new had been discovered.
"Trust me!" Before he had time to say more, Gu Minglang hugged Liao Qingmei, gently rubbed the top of her hair, and neatly turned around and rushed into the black hole factory.
These three words gave Liao Qingmei great support, she wanted to turn around and find Liao's mother, but her feet seemed to be fixed in place by nails, and after a while, she moved her left leg slightly, only to find that the whole person was wooden.
She believes in her, so Liao's mother will definitely be fine.
Liao Qingmei dragged her numb body and moved towards the crowd step by step.
She had just taken two steps, and with a careful and loud noise, her eyes went black, and the person had been thrown to the ground from behind.
Liao Qingmei's heart jumped and fell down.
