Section 1303 After a fire

Or professionals are more efficient. The villagers used buckets and basins to extinguish the fire, and although they worked hard, they did little to control the fire. After the fire brigade came, it was completely different, as soon as the high-pressure water cannon was fired, it only took two or three minutes for the fire to begin to decrease at a speed visible to the naked eye, and after ten minutes, all of them were extinguished.

From the start of the fire to the time the fire was extinguished, it lasted about an hour.

Some people may say, is an hour too long? Is the fire brigade so inefficient, arriving at the location an hour after the fire starts?

Not really.

A fire as soon as it came up? Unless someone poured gasoline on it and deliberately set it on fire. Obviously, this fire can't be like that.

This time, the fire actually started from the outside in. The cause of the fire was not because Uncle Wangjiu and his wife made any wrong moves, but because of the aging of the wires, which caused sparks, which in turn caused the fire.

The electrical lines in the countryside are not as dark as in the cities, and most of them are exposed pipelines. It's the same here at Uncle Wangjiu's house, where the main wire switch is not indoors, but outside the wall of the kitchen at the back.

When a wire is short-circuited, high heat and sparks are generated. Because of the high heat, the rubber wrapped around the wire was slowly baked and deformed, and the spark ignited the rubber again.

Perhaps many people have naughtily burned plastic or rubber when they were children, and they should know what state these things are in when they burn - they will continue to melt while keeping them burning. If it is suspended in mid-air, there will be a situation where 'small fire droplets' will be ticking to the ground one by one.

After Uncle Wangjiu's wire rubber was lit. That's the way it is. After about a few tens of seconds, it began to tick 'small fire drops' on the ground.

If the switch was somewhere else, it would have been installed on the wall outside the kitchen. As everyone knows. In the countryside, the fuel used for cooking is not as natural gas as in the city, and more often than not, the villagers use firewood to cook and cook. Uncle Wangjiu's family also has a unique earthen stove in the countryside, and it is still a family of two. One is outside the house and is used to cook forage for the cows, while the other is in the kitchen and is used for cooking.

In order to be able to make it more convenient when cooking. Of course, firewood should be placed relatively close. In the kitchen, there was a little more on the side of the stove, but more firewood was placed under the eaves outside the kitchen.

The firewood was under the eaves, but the electric switch was hung on the wall. In other words, the electric switch is just above the stack of firewood. When the rubber is melted and ignited and then falls off, of course, it will fall directly onto the firewood.

If it's a fire source made by something else, like a spark of charcoal. It may not cause a fire yet. After all, the weight of the fire source is not large. And now it is winter that has just snowed, and the firewood outside is more or less slightly wet with moisture, which is not too dry. Even if one or two sparks fall on it, as long as there is no continuity, it is basically impossible to light the firewood.

However, the most special thing about the rubber is that it sticks and burns continuously. Normally, sparks will be extinguished in a few seconds, but if you change the fuel to a liquid that melts in the rubber sheet. Then it will burn for at least a few tens of seconds.

A drop burns for tens of seconds, and it's not just a drop. There were four or five drops of melted mucus dripping down. It's enough to make a palm-sized flame. With such a large flame as the source, it is inevitable that the firewood stack will be lit.

The cause of the fire was an aging short circuit in the wires. If Uncle Wangjiu and his wife haven't slept yet, they will find the problem because the light or TV suddenly turns off. However, because Li Jingyuan and others came to visit today, Uncle Wangjiu was very happy to drink a few more glasses, so he went to bed early. As for the aunt, in order to take care of the family's livestock, 'going to bed early and getting up early' has long been her habit.

No short circuit in the wires was found, and no notice was found when the fire started. When the stack of firewood was completely lit and began to make the characteristic 'crackling' sound of wood burning, Uncle Wangjiu and his wife were awakened from their sleep. At this time, the fire was so big that the two of them alone could not extinguish it.

I can't help it, of course, I have to find someone to help, I don't have to make a phone call, I shout a word or two at the top of my voice, and the villagers who live nearby will definitely hear the sound and rush to come. And when the number of people gradually increased, there were about five or six people, and then some people remembered to call the fire brigade in a hurry.

In other words, when the fire brigade received the call, it had actually been more than forty minutes since the fire was on fire. Just counting the time they took to get from the fire station, it was about seven or eight minutes, less than ten minutes.

In the city, this speed may be relatively slow. But in the countryside, this speed can definitely be regarded as fast. In the city, there is at least one fire station in a district, but in the countryside, the same fire station is likely to serve a radius of dozens of miles. In other words, after receiving a fire call, the fire brigade will rush from a distance of at least ten kilometers.

In seven or eight minutes, I rushed a distance of more than ten kilometers, almost two kilometers a minute, which translates to one hundred and twenty kilometers per hour. It is nothing for a small car to drive at this speed on the highway, but a large car such as a fire truck can drive at a speed of 120 kilometers per hour on the national highway, which can definitely be regarded as desperate.

Firefighters came quickly and extinguished the fire quickly. Therefore, although this fire came very fiercely, it did not burn Uncle Wangjiu's house to a white ground.

If I had to sum it up, it would be 'half burned'. The roof, the kitchen, and the two rooms next to the kitchen were burned, and the furniture and appliances inside were all scrapped. The other half of the room was not too damaging. Although the electrical appliances were wet because of the water jets from the fire water guns, they also looked dirty because of the soot brought by the fire. But some of these things that are not so expensive can still be used after washing and drying. Similarly, the furniture in these rooms can be used after washing.

Fortunately, the tens of millions of dollars in cash were not burned.

Speaking of which. It also happened that just a few days ago, Uncle Wangjiu had just made a business and sold four Korean cows that had been raised to adulthood at home.

Although Uncle Wangjiu used to be a lieutenant governor, he is still an uncle living in the countryside, and when he does business, he prefers more traditional transaction methods - he doesn't know what electronic transfer is, and he doesn't like to accept checks very much. The best way to do this is to trade in cash.

Four Hanboul, sold for a total of 38 million won, when trading. According to Uncle Wangjiu's intentions, the consignee paid all in cash. Fifty thousand banknotes, one hundred pieces a bundle, one bundle is five million. Uncle Wangjiu received a total of seven and a half banknotes.

If it is several times more. Uncle Wangjiu will hurry up and deposit these banknotes in the bank because they take up too much space and are not easy to hide. However, it was because the volume of the seven-and-a-half banknotes was not large, and it could be hidden in any corner, which made him subconsciously negligent. I didn't rush to the bank to deposit the money as soon as I received it, but I was going to wait until I had to go to town because of something.

This oversight didn't matter, and it almost cost an extra 38 million. After Uncle Wangjiu turned the bag containing the banknotes out of the cabinet full of cigarette ash and water stains, the aunt couldn't help but hold the bag while crying because of the loss. While scolding Uncle Wangjiu for a bloody head.

"Auntie, dissipate your anger. Don't get angry. At this time, we should be twisted into one heart, you see, Uncle Wangjiu is also very uncomfortable, so don't scold him anymore. "The fire has been extinguished and the fire brigade has retreated, but there are still many villagers at the scene. At this time, Xiao Sun showed her mature side, and after seeing Uncle Wangjiu's depressed expression when he was scolded, she stepped forward to hold her aunt's hand and gently persuaded her.

"Auntie, why don't we go to the hall first and change our clothes? Standing outside like this, you should catch a cold after a while. Yu Li also walked up, gently took the aunt's hand, and also persuaded him.

When they found out that the fire was on fire, Uncle Wangjiu and his wife had just woken up from their sleep, and then escaped from the house in a hurry, so they were wearing thin pajamas. It's still winter, and it's still the hottest area in Gangwon Province, which is the lowest in the whole of South Korea, so standing outside in such thin clothes is not something that ordinary people can bear.

What's more, in the process of fighting the fire just now, everyone's clothes were wet with water, and the two people who rushed to the front line will not be an exception.

The clothes are thin, but they will be soaked, and the temperature is so low, if you don't change your clothes quickly, then a cold and fever will be inevitable.

The house has burned, and no one can have an accident again, although this sounds like it will make the aunt a little sad, but she doesn't understand the reason. After the persuasion of the girls, she and the uncle came to the hall across the road and changed the wet clothes on their bodies.

Some people may ask, aren't the aunt's and uncle's clothes at home? Isn't it going to be burned, is there still clothes to change?

Like other families, the clothes of the aunt and uncle are kept in the cabinet in the bedroom. As I said earlier, the bedroom was not burned by the fire, and it was not difficult to find the bag containing the money and find a few clean clothes that were not affected by the fire.

Besides, this is in the countryside, and the villagers in the countryside are the most simple. Even if the aunt and uncle's clothes are burned, the villagers will bring some clothes from their own homes for them to change first, so they don't have to worry about running out of clothes to change into.

In fact, a few minutes later, some villagers brought clothes, bedding and other daily necessities. There was even a neighbor who lived nearby, who hurriedly went back and boiled ginger soup to go to the cold and sent it over. After receiving these help from the villagers, the aunt and uncle couldn't help but shed tears again.

The villagers did not turn around and leave after delivering the things, but sat down one by one and chatted softly with the aunt and uncle.

The cash was not burned, and the most valuable livestock was not burned by the fire, in general. The damage suffered by Uncle Wangjiu's family in this fire was not too great.

However, just because the loss is small does not mean that the impact is not large. Anyone who sees their house burning in a fire. are sure to suffer a huge psychological shock and trauma. What's more, the uncle's house has been lived in for decades, and they have long had feelings, and when this fire is burned, the old couple will naturally be even more sad.

"Shun-kyu, pass the word over and tell the children. Let's get out of here for now. Seeing several villagers accompanying the uncle and aunt, and looking at the current atmosphere, Li Jingyuan quietly put his mouth next to Xiao Sun's ear. Gently commanded.

With Li Jingyuan and the relationship between the girls and the uncles and aunts, it is right to be by their side. However, in comparison, the relationship between Li Jingyuan and his uncle and aunt. In the end, it's still not as close as the villagers.

And. It's not appropriate for too many people to get together at this time. Even if the uncle and aunt don't think that everyone is watching the excitement, there will definitely be a sense of burden in their hearts, in order to let them relax their emotions, so Li Jingyuan will choose to quietly leave here with the girls first.

In order not to affect the emotions of the uncle and aunt, and also not to see the uncle and aunt in the midst of sadness and take out their minds to deal with their own people, Li Jingyuan and the girls did not go to greet the two. Instead, one by one, they secretly left the room while the two of them were not paying attention, and came to the outside of the old man's hall.

“OPPA。 Shouldn't we be doing something? "Looking at the half-burned Uncle Wangjiu's house across the road, it looks very dilapidated. Xiao Yangyang, who was standing beside Li Jingyuan, couldn't help but shake his head and sighed, and gently made a small suggestion.

"Well, it's true that you should help a bunch of uncles and aunts." nodded, a cold wind blew, and Li Jingyuan, whose clothes were also wet, couldn't help but shiver. Seeing that the other girls also seemed to feel a little cold, Li Jingyuan beckoned everyone to get into the car together: "Let's go back first, and then discuss it slowly." ”

A few minutes later, the crowd returned to the idol village. After everyone changed their clothes and sat down again surrounded by quilts one by one, Xiaomin, who hadn't spoken much just now, said a little suddenly: "OPPA, should we also talk to Village Chief Lu about this?" When he was filming before, didn't he always hang out with Uncle Wangjiu and Uncle Load Li? They should be good friends, right? Now, there is an accident in Uncle Wangjiu's family, should I notify Village Chief Lu? ”

"Well, I'm going to call Village Chief Lu. In addition, Sister Shen Ying and Sister Narsha also need to contact them. Uncle Wangjiu is a friend of all of us, and if we want to help him, we should all work together. Nodding, Li Jingyuan immediately took out the phone and began to call a few people who were not present.

The first person to contact was IU, and the girl was also an artist under S.m, with Li Jingyuan present, adjusting her itinerary to let her come over now, it was just a matter of one sentence. But it's the most convenient.

Then there are Han Sun-hwa, Hyun-ah, and Narsha. Although none of these three people can be managed by Li Jingyuan, but because it is already night, and the matter is so big, after receiving the call, these three people still quickly said that they would immediately adjust their itinerary and rush over as soon as possible.

and Kim Shin-young, which is also a phone call. Compared with the previous people, Jin Shenying, who is a funny artist, is obviously not a 'much' word, and at this time, she is already resting at home. A phone call passed, and she immediately replied - 'I'll come now, I'll be there soon~!' ’

The last is the village chief Lu. It's true that the matter is very urgent, but considering the age of Village Chief Lu, it will still make people a little uneasy to call in the middle of the night. However, fortunately, Village Chief Lu only looks so domineering during the shooting, in private, he is actually a very kind elder, and as soon as he received the call, he promised to come as soon as possible, just like everyone else. In fact, Chief Roh has been filming a TV series recently, and the filming location is not in Seoul, but in Busan, which is farther away, and it will be more difficult for him to come than others. But even so, he still decided to ask for leave with the crew first, so there is no need to say more about his enthusiasm.

"By the way, I have to call KBS and inform those people from the original "Youth Undefeated" program team." After putting down the phone, Li Jingyuan thought about it for a while, then picked up the phone again, and dialed another number while muttering.

"Huh? Is it necessary? ”

"Of course, Uncle Wangjiu has done so many things for the program team, why should the program team repay it at this time? Not to mention anything else, the money to help Uncle Wangjiu's family build a new house, if the program team has a conscience, they have to pay a little bit. Moreover, with the program team coming forward, you can borrow their name to do something, such as holding a 'donation activity', or calling volunteers to help build a house, which will be much simpler.
