Chapter 36: On Fire
An Qitong didn't have time to think about anything, she put Hu Min lying down, got up, and patted the door anxiously with the faint light of the lighter.
"Is there anyone, my companion is dizzy, open the door quickly."
The sound of a loud knock on the door woke up the sleeping people in the room, and many people didn't know what was going on, so they sat up in fright, and some of them even seemed to cry in fright.
An Qitong continued to pat, she didn't know if there was anyone outside the door, and she didn't care what the people in the room thought, she only knew that Hu Min was dizzy like this, she had to eat, even if it was a sip of water.
"What's going on?"
In doubt.
"Who are you? Why are you banging on the door well, arguing with others. ”
There is a reproach.
"Stop shooting, no one will open it."
There are also well-intentioned persuasions.
It's just that these sounds can't stop An Qitong, and finally, An Qitong leaned against the door and heard clear footsteps coming from the aisle outside.
Soon, the sound of the door lock opening, followed by the door being pushed open from the outside.
"What's the noise? What do you want to do without sleeping? ”
The one who spoke was a young man of about 20, still yawning, not one of the two people An Qitong saw when he went out before, and there was a shift change when he wanted to come here.
"I'm sorry, my companion fainted, low blood sugar, it will be dangerous if you don't save her, please give me something to eat, thank you!"
An Qitong pleaded.
The person who came looked impatient, and shouted at An Qitong in a bad tone:
"Who do you think you are, you still want to eat as a slave, it's long past the time for your slaves to eat, wait for tomorrow."
After saying that, I wanted to close the door.
An Qitong blocked it, she was very angry, she could be so arrogant when she saw death and didn't save her, it was the first time she had seen it.
"Slaves? Who are the slaves? Let me tell you, Brother Nine didn't say that we were slaves, and if something happened to my companion, I would see Brother Nine tomorrow, and you should know what the consequences would be. ”
An Qitong stared at Xiao Young tightly, she was betting that since these people who needed to stand guard and guard, they would definitely not be able to see Brother Jiu every day, for herself and Hu Min, this was an opportunity. It should be useful to scare Brother Jiu to scare him.
Sure enough, when the visitor heard An Qitong talking about Brother Jiu, he hesitated.
But he couldn't confirm it, and looked at An Qitong back and forth several times, wanting to see if what An Qitong said was true.
"Don't waste time, we were personally sent in by Sister Wei, you can go and ask the people who guarded here before."
An Qitong's face did not change.
As soon as Xiao Young heard Sister Wei, his gaze, which was still a little suspicious, disappeared in an instant, and he was stupid enough, wouldn't he think that someone who was really useful to Brother Jiu would be locked up here?
Therefore, An Qitong won the bet this time.
"You come with me."
Saying that, when An Qitong came out, Xiao Young quickly locked the door again.
When he took An Qitong to a room that looked like a duty room near the door, Xiao Young knocked on the door.
"Brother Shui, there is a slave who faints, but the person was brought by Sister Wei."
After the young man finished speaking, he stood aside and did not speak, motioning for An Qitong to wait.
Before long, the room lit up, flickering like the light of a candle.
There was a slight "squeak" and the door opened.
"Xiao Liu, are you sure?"
The person who opened the door glanced at An Qitong, and then looked at Xiao Qing.
There was really a candle lit in the house, and he was used to seeing the brightness of the lights, and the room was not very bright, but it also made An Qitong see clearly at a glance.
A simple small square table, there are some empty instant noodle bowls on the table, a few bottles of water, there is a simple single bed next to the square table, and the position of the head of the bed, An Qitong can obviously see that it is a long knife.
The knife surface is slightly shiny against the candlelight.
An Qitong unconsciously took a step back, not knowing if she would be okay if she came out like this, but Hu Min's fainting appearance made her firm mind again.
"Well, yes, when I changed shifts, Big Mouth told me that Sister Wei personally brought them in. Now there's a faint, as if he's hungry, you see? Brother Shui. ”
It turned out that Xiao Xiao's name was Xiao Liu, and he briefly said the matter, and did not call the shots, but waited respectfully for this person called Brother Shui.
An Qitong felt that the level in this auto repair shop was so obvious, and even this place guarding the door had a simple upper and lower levels, no wonder Brother Jiu would let Lin Zihao choose his own position.
Those who are lower must report to those who are higher, and those who are higher have more power than those who are lower.
It seems that Brother Jiu manages this place like an iron bucket, with clear hierarchies up and down, and the rules are even greater, and the most important thing is that people here even sleep with weapons in a place where they can easily get them.
With such an auto repair shop, can they really leave safely?
"Wait."
The person who called Brother Shui left a word, turned around and entered the house, and soon appeared at the door again.
"It's a little water and a little food, don't play any tricks."
Brother Shui threw over a small bag of things, so that An Qitong almost didn't catch it, and after a brief look, he found that it was a small half bottle of water and a bag of the kind of snow cakes eaten before the end of the world, about three or four bags.
There are few things, but enough to save lives.
An Qitong hurriedly said thank you to Brother Shui, and wanted to turn around and go back quickly, but found that Xiao Liu's eyes were staring straight out of the door.
Following Xiao Liu's gaze to look outside, An Qitong found that a fire was burning in the corner of another factory about 500 meters away.
The firelight reflected the surrounding sky, and even if it was a little far away, An Qitong could feel the heat on his face.
Thick smoke billowed and accompanied by the frightened shouts of someone in the distance, in this quiet night, it was like the curtain of a big drama was opened.
It is, on fire!
"Damn, what bastard is so careless."
Brother Shui cursed in a low voice.
"Xiao Liu, come with me to put out the fire."
After Brother Shui finished speaking, he hurriedly pulled Xiao Liu and ran outside, but he forgot about An Qitong who was standing on the side.
An Qitong was stunned for a moment, what is the situation, just ignore her?
It was probably Xiao Liu and Brother Shui who guarded it, but Brother Shui went to sleep, leaving Xiao Liu alone, and now they all ran to put out the fire, and there was no one guarding at the door.
The light of the fire gradually woke the sleeping people from the night, and the sound began to be noisy and loud.
An Qitong hurriedly ran back, no matter what the reason was, she was helping her, she was going to find Hu Min, take her to find Lin Zihao while she was in chaos, and then find a way to escape.
An Qitong picked up a steel pipe in the aisle, it was quite sturdy, she didn't forget that Xiao Liu had locked the door again just now.
When he came to the door, An Qitong pried hard with the steel pipe in his hand, thanking that this door lock was just a simple lock, and shouted one, two, three, "click", and the door was pried open.
When he was about to look for Hu Min, he found that Hu Min had woken up and was sitting against the wall at the door, gobbling up food.
"Hu Min?"
"An Qitong, I have something to eat, come on."
Although his voice was still a little weak, Hu Min was very happy.
"Sister An, are you okay?"
It turned out that the person sitting next to Hu Min was the previous Sister Wang, who was supporting Hu Min and drinking water carefully.
"Sister Wang?"
An Qitong looked at it suspiciously.
"It's me, Hu Min fainted, I just have some food and water, I don't know when you can come back, so I'll give it to her."
Sister Wang smiled.
"Yes, Sister Wang gave me her own food, I don't know where you went, or Sister Wang told me, are you okay?"
Hu Min asked with some concern.
"Don't talk about this yet, let's hurry up, there's a fire outside, although I don't know what's going on, but it's just in our favor, Hu Min, can you go?"
An Qitong squatted down and checked Hu Min.
"Really? I'm fine, it's okay. ”
Hu Min was a little surprised, and he didn't know if what An Qitong said was true.
"I saw it with my own eyes, so we're going to sneak out while they don't find out and go to find Lin Zihao and them."
An Qitong picked up Hu Min as he spoke, ready to carry her away.
"Can I join you?"
Just as An Qitong and Hu Min were about to turn around and leave, Sister Wang stood up and asked uneasily.
Probably because the fire outside was getting bigger, and the bright light passed through the long passage, and some of it shone into the house, and An Qitong found that Sister Wang's previous delicate face had a big bruise.
