I looked at them and asked, "What painting do you want to buy, sir?" I'll show you around and introduce it to you. โ
They looked back at me and didn't reply to me, and continued to wander around the gallery. I wondered even more, the more I looked at it, the more I felt that they didn't buy paintings at all.
"Sir, it's a little late today, we're closing, if you don't have a special favorite painting, then please come back another day, we will have a new painting arrive." I'm evicting them.
I suddenly noticed that one of them was still holding a cigarette in his hand, "Sir, please put out the cigarette, no smoking in the store!" โ
Of course, there is a business to do, but the two of them are definitely not here to buy paintings.
"Qi'er, the store is closed, sir, please! We're closed! Grandpa said directly to the two men.
Grandpa called out to me and said, "Qi'er! It's closed! โ
I know Grandpa is giving an eviction order. A short time later, the two men left the gallery.
I closed the door, and my grandfather urged me to go back, "I don't work today, you can rest, tomorrow I'm slowly framing, you go back!" It won't be safe if it's too late. โ
"Grandpa, why don't we frame one! It's still early. โ
"Zhang Qi is not here today, no one will send you, you better go back early! A girl, it's too late grandpa is not at ease, tomorrow we are doing it! Make it! "Grandpa kept urging me.
I looked out the window, but I didn't see anyone who came to pick me up, and my grandfather repeatedly insisted on letting me go back, so I had to say, "Okay, then you go upstairs and take grandpa." I lowered the roller shutter from the window and walked.
"Well, then you can leave it and go! Or I'll do it myself, girl, when I don't have you, grandpa won't have to get it himself. Grandpa looked at me kindly and said with a smile, "Now that I have you, grandpa is lazy?" โ
"Grandpa, what does it smell like? Why do I smell like I smell? I sniffed, and I felt a faint smell of burnt.
"It seems to smell like a smell!" Grandpa also sniffed and said for sure.
I quickly ran backwards and checked the kitchen, and there was no problem!
No, this smell doesn't look like it came from behind, I followed the smell little by little to look up, I checked the power supply, and there was no problem.
As I was checking, the smell was getting heavier and stronger, and I smelled a burnt mush. I finally saw smoke coming out of an oil painting display area, and I ran over to the farthest corner from our front desk, where a few oil paintings were already on fire.
I quickly removed the stack of painting cores closest to the fire. Maybe it was my movement that drove the air, but the fire suddenly burst out, grandpa also exclaimed, the two of us were helpless all of a sudden, I was going to fetch water, grandpa hurriedly shouted to me, "No, you can't use water!" โ
I ran to the door with a burning canvas, and threw it out, and as soon as the door opened, a breath of fresh air came in, and the flames went even higher.
I had to keep stomping on the flame with my feet, and the scorching flame burned me. I shouted loudly, hoping someone would help. Grandpa also picked up the mop and came over, kept patting, I picked up the painting core next to me and transferred, if it was all burned, the loss would be too great, these are the paintings that those painters have worked hard to paint one by one, condensing how many people's hard work!
Finally, the good Samaritan who passed by also ran in, and everyone was helping to put out the fire, and I kept dragging the work out of the fire and throwing it to the side.
A big strong hand pulled me out of the center of the fire, and I threw myself back, desperately trying to salvage the paintings.
I hugged the canvas to the side and shouted, "Everyone, help me get the painting away!" You can't burn these paintings! โ
Someone was helping to move the painting out, someone was putting out the fire, and suddenly there was a mess.
I dragged down a burning oil painting core and stepped on it with my feet as hard as I could, when suddenly I saw a tall figure carrying a basin of something and raising it. "You can't use water!" I exclaimed.
I saw that the man turned out to be Gao Tong. He ran out quickly, and after a while he ran back, and another pot of something came in, covering the burning canvas at once. The fire is a little dying.
Sand!
"Oh, this is good, yes, use sand, use sand."
Someone in the crowd said, sand? It turned out to be sand!
I saw Gao Tong raise another pot, and finally the flame was extinguished. Smoke was already billowing from the gallery.
The people who came to help laughed.
"Oh my god! It's gone, it's too hanging. โ
"How did it catch fire? There's also no power supply or anything like that in this location? How could it catch fire? โ
"Fortunately, if this is found in the middle of the night, it will be a big deal, too scary?"
"Yes, fortunately, it is said that water and fire are ruthless, if this is ignited, the painting in this room will be a big loss!"
"Yes, you can't use a fire extinguisher with water, thanks to this young man, who knows a lot, we didn't think of using sand."
"That's not ......
The people involved in the firefighting are talking,
He threw the basin in his hand at once, hugged me away, and looked me up and down, "Let's see if it's hurt?" Does it hurt? โ
He frowned and looked me up and down, my face was dark, and he wiped it with his hand to check if I was hurt.
"Look at Grandpa!" I shouted at Gao Tong, who was looking at me.
"Grandpa is fine, hurry up and sit down, grandpa!" I heard Zhang Qi's voice talking.
"Qi'er, grandpa...... It's okay! Grandpa gasped and said, "Thank you!" Thank you! โ
As soon as I heard that my grandfather was okay and was seeing that the fire was extinguished, I threw myself into Gao Tong's arms at once, and I cried with a wow: "Gao Tong! โ
He patted me on the back and comforted me: "It's okay, is there any pain, show me?" โ
As soon as he pulled my hand, I let out an 'ah' scream.
Gao Tong shook and quickly checked my hands, only to see that two places on my hands and arms had been blistered.
Zhang Qi also ran over and looked at my hand.
"You, here to deal with the rest of the matter, take care of the old man. I'll send someone to settle down in a moment, and I'll take Manqi to the hospital! Gao Tong instructed Zhang Qi who was standing beside him.
"Okay, don't worry here!" Zhang Qi's eyes never left my injured hand, which was already red and swollen with blisters.
Gao Tong picked me up and strode out, he put me in the car, ran into the car and drove to the nearest hospital.
In the car, he called Wei Chi, instructed the location of the gallery, and asked Wei Chi to check the nearby surveillance, this matter is definitely not a simple fire. As soon as Gao Tong said this, those two sneaky men appeared in my mind.
I know that he will deal with the follow-up matters, and Zhang Qi will take care of his grandfather in the gallery, I am relieved.
When he arrived at the hospital, he called the doctor to treat my burns, and soon the dean also ran over and shouted respectfully: "Mr. Gao!" โ
I thought to myself, what's the use of coming so many people.
Fortunately, it is not too large an area, and Gao Tong insisted on checking my legs, although it was a little red, but it was not a big deal.
It wasn't until now that I realized that my arm was burning with a burning pain! Drill straight into your heart.
When the doctor was treating my injury, my big tears flowed down in pain, and Gao Tong immediately said to the doctor: "Please be lighter!" โ
The doctor carefully handled it for me! Straightened up and looked at the iceberg-like Gao Tong and reported: "Fortunately, the injured area is not damaged, you must pay attention to the wound not to get wet in the past few days, so as not to become infected and inflamed." โ
"Anything else to look out for?" Gao Tong was obviously nervous, and anxiously asked, "Will it hurt?" โ
The doctor looked at my red and swollen arm that was burned by the fire and said to Gao Tong: "Mr. Gao, I'm afraid it will hurt a lot tonight!" Be careful not to break the blister, let it absorb slowly, it is not conducive to healing, especially now that the weather is hot, the wound does not like to heal, and the body surface temperature itself is high, so the recovery should be slower. I'll prescribe burn cream for you in a while, and apply it on time. will alleviate the pain! You can also use ice cubes to cool down and clean the wound with cold water to avoid increasing the depth of the burn! Using ice cubes to apply a cold compress can also have the same effect as cold water! However, it should be noted that do not apply cold compresses in one position for a long time, which can easily lead to local avascular necrosis. โ
"How long will it take to recover?"
"It depends on the individual's condition, and it takes about two weeks."
After dealing with everything, Gao Tong said goodbye to them and drove me home directly.
On the way back, he kept asking me, "Does it still hurt?" โ
"Hmmm! Some! Gao Tong, could it be that someone set the fire? "I told him about the two men who didn't look like nice people who went in earlier.
"He comforted me, don't worry, Wei Chi will take care of it, Zhang Qi is also here, he will take care of the things in the store, you can recuperate with peace of mind now." Then he said to me sternly, "When will you not hurt yourself?" โ
"So wronged! It hurts, you still talk about me! "I'm sitting in the car in a pretty good position now, and I'm holding my arms and not daring to put them down.
The phone rang suddenly, Gao Tong hurriedly took Bluetooth and picked up the phone.
"Hmmm! ...... Well! ...... Well! His face was getting darker. There was a terrifying awe of it.
