Perhaps the word "child" touched his heart, and the man gradually calmed down. After calming down, he put down his chair, squatted down dejectedly, buried his head between his knees, and started to cry.
At this moment, no one would laugh at this man's tears. Everyone fell silent, and an unspeakable sadness and despair filled the air.
Although Liang Jian still had hope, to be honest, he didn't have much confidence. He directed people to help the person who was injured just now to another place. After bandaging each of them, he walked to the door of the safety exit to take a look.
He looked around and saw that the corridor was filled with thick smoke. He thought for a while, found some rags, took off a coat on his body, and blocked the crack under the door.
After everything was done, Liang Jian walked over and sat down next to the police officer. The little girl had woken up and was weakly leaning on her mother's arms. Occasionally she opened her eyes, showing undisguised fear.
Suddenly, the little girl looked up at her mother and asked, "Mom, can we still escape?"
The woman wanted to answer with a smile to make her answer sound more reliable. But before she could laugh out loud, she burst into tears. Liang Jian took out his cell phone and looked at it, but there was no signal at all.
After sitting for a while, Liang Jian thought that it would be okay to wait here. He asked the person next to him: "Is there a place on the roof here to go up?"
Someone replied: "I can't go up there. In the past few years, some people who couldn't get over it liked to run up and jump off the building, so they locked the door and never opened it."
In other words, there is nowhere to go. The highest floor of this building is the ninth floor. But according to them, the two floors above have been locked because they have always been empty.
The seventh floor is the only place they can stay. Fortunately, the seventh floor is not like the lower floors, which are all shops. It is the office of the building management staff, which is quite spacious. If there had been no explosion, this place would have been okay.
Can stay for a while longer.
The time waiting for rescue was long. It is not an exaggeration to say that it lasted like a year. After a panic, people always get tired easily. After a period of calm, those people leaned on each other and fell asleep.
Liang Jian, however, remained tense. He checked the time every fifteen minutes or so. Perhaps it was because the sixth floor was not a store and there were not so many flammable items, which delayed the spread of the fire upwards.
After Liang Jian checked the time three times, there was finally movement in the quiet building.
This time it was the sound of footsteps falling quickly and heavily on the stairs. There should be no other footsteps except the firefighters at this time. Liang Jian couldn't help but get excited, stood up hurriedly, and walked towards the safety door. His movement
, everyone else woke up with a start, stood up one after another, and rushed over.
Liang Jian opened the safety door and rushed out. He saw no one, but he heard a sound. He shouted to the corridor: "Is there anyone there? We are on the seventh floor?"
The sound rushed downwards and echoed in the thick smoke. Liang Jian started coughing. As soon as he started coughing, he heard an echo: "Which floor is it?"
Liang Jian was overjoyed, and those behind him also cheered.
"Seventh floor -" a group of people shouted.
A minute later, two firefighters appeared in front of everyone. Seeing a group of people behind Liang Jianjien, they first checked everyone and saw that everyone was fine. They comforted them a few times and then said: "Is it possible to get out below?"
Let’s go, I’ll contact the ladder and pick you up. Come on, let’s go to the roof!”
Someone answered: "The door on the roof is locked and you can't get out."
The firefighter said: "It's okay. Just smash it."
After hearing this, everyone felt full of hope. A group of people followed the two firefighters and walked up the stairs. Liang Jian walked behind, taking care of the mother and daughter together with the police.
When they arrived at the top floor, facing the locked door, the firefighters took out their tools and smashed it open with a few clicks. The fresh air that hit their faces completely relieved everyone who had not completely let go. The ladder was already in place.
One by one, the dozens of trapped people climbed onto the ladder and landed safely under the escort of firefighters.
Liang Jian was the last one to go down. As soon as he landed, he saw Xia Churong coming up to him, with a nervous look on his face, and said: "You kid, you scared me to death! Are you okay?"
Liang Jian shook his head and said, "It's okay."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Jian looked up and saw a familiar figure, rushing toward him anxiously. She seemed to be about to throw herself into his arms, but she still stopped one meter away.
Xia Churong saw Hu Xiaoying coming, said hello, and walked away to do her own business.
"Are you okay?" Hu Xiaoying asked. Liang Jian nodded: "I'm okay. Why are you here too?"
After asking, Liang Jian remembered that she was now the deputy director of the Propaganda Department. There had been three explosions in this fire so far, so she naturally wanted to be present.
Hu Xiaoying said: "You shouldn't be so impulsive. Just let the fire fighters do this kind of thing."
When Liang Jian was on the seventh floor, he actually thought about whether he should not come in. But he knew that even if he had to do it again, he would still go in. He was not the kind of person who could stand by and watch. He smiled and said, "You know
Yes, that’s the kind of person I am.”
Hu Xiaoying looked at him with lingering fear in her eyes. Liang Jian looked in his eyes and was moved, but couldn't say anything more. The two fell silent, which was embarrassing.
At this time, someone shouted: "Minister Hu." Hu Xiaoying looked back and saw that it was her secretary. She quickly turned around and told Liang Jian: "There is a medical team over there. Go and check it out. Especially the respiratory tract.
Don't make any mistakes."
Liang Jian nodded: "Go and do your work."
Hu Xiaoying turned and left, took two steps, stopped again, turned to look at him, and said, "I will make arrangements to interview you later, so you can make preparations."
Liang Jian didn't react for a moment and asked: "Interview me? What are you interviewing for?"
Hu Xiaoying said: "Although I know that you did not do it deliberately for fame. But since you have done it, you must make full use of it, otherwise I will be sorry for your efforts."
Liang Jian understood. Hu Xiaoying wanted to help him build momentum. Indeed, there were many provincial and municipal officials at the scene, but he was the only one who dared to rush into the fire. Although he failed and others came out, in the end he was rescued by fire fighters.
Come out. But for the media, as long as you dare to rush in, they can write you as a hero.
However, Liang Jian didn't really want to be this hero. This would make people feel that the instinctive things he just did have changed. However, Hu Xiaoying did not give him a chance to refuse. Liang Jian walked to the medical vehicle
, before he finished the examination, several reporters came towards him.
Coincidentally, at this time, the mother and daughter also arrived at the medical vehicle. The little girl's energy had recovered a lot. When she saw Liang Jian, she was very happy and called her uncle sweetly. The girl's mother was also grateful.
He thanked Liang Jian several times and said, "If you and the kind policeman hadn't ventured in to take us out from the fifth floor, we might not have been able to escape."
When the girl's mother said this, the reporters happened to be behind her and heard it. Immediately, several reporters surrounded the three of them, and the doctor who was examining Liang Jian was also pushed aside with a look of displeasure on his face.
.
The reporter asked the girl's mother: "I just heard you saying that it was this gentleman who ventured into the fire to rescue you, right?" The reporter's question actually deliberately ignored something. Liang Jian glanced at the reporter.
, wanted to clarify, but was interrupted by the girl's mother, who said: "Yes. It was him and the policeman who saved us."
The girl’s mother mentioned the policeman, but none of the reporters paid attention to the policeman and asked, “Can you describe the situation to me?”
The girl's mother looked tired and seemed a little reluctant. After all, the situation at that time was like a nightmare for them. No one would want to recall a nightmare. Liang Jian saw it and stood up to stop it, saying
: "They have just come out, especially the children, and they need to rest. Why don't you come over for the interview later."
The reporters looked at each other for a few times, and Liang Jian took the opportunity to say to the girl's mother: "You go and have a rest first." The girl's mother hurriedly took the little girl away.
The reporters were not easy to follow. After looking at each other for a while, they came to ask Liang Jian again. At this time, they changed their title: "Chairman Liang, can you tell us about the situation at that time?"
Liang Jian smiled and said: "The situation was quite urgent at the time, so I don't remember much. In fact, I was not the only one at the time, but there was also a police officer from the city bureau. Why don't you go ask him?"
Seeing that Liang Jian didn't want to say anything, they had no choice but to do the next best thing and asked Liang Jian: "Who is it?"
Liang Jian glanced at the whole place and saw the police officer sitting and resting not far away. He pointed and said, "Here, that's the one."
When the reporters saw it, they immediately moved their positions. Liang Jian breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to take a break, his cell phone rang. Liang Jian took it out and saw that it was Xiang Jin's call. He quickly answered it.
The scene was noisy. After Liang Jian picked up the call, he first said "wait a minute" and then quickly walked to a quieter place before starting to speak.
"How are you? Are you okay?" Xiang Jin's voice came anxiously from the other end of the phone. There were also some voices coming over at the same time, and Liang Jian could distinguish the voices of Li Yuanli and Liang Dongfang.
Liang Jian wondered how Xiang Jin knew he was at the fire scene. Xiang Jin seemed to guess what he was thinking and said, "I just saw you on live TV."
Liang Jian was stunned and looked around. Soon, he found a live news truck not far in front of the burning building, with the words "Ningzhou TV Station" written on it.
It seems that when he came out of the building just now, he came into the camera.
Xiang Jin didn't ask him why he was so impulsive. After hearing him say it was okay, he felt relieved. Then he told him to check his body and drink more water.
Liang Jian responded one by one.
After hanging up the phone, Liang Jian suddenly thought, maybe this is the difference between Xiang Jin and Hu Xiaoying. Xiang Jin's love is always so calm. She fully understands you and always gives you at the right time.
The most appropriate care. She never said unnecessary words.
But Hu Xiaoying is different. Perhaps this has something to do with the fact that Hu Xiaoying has been working hard in the officialdom for so many years. Although she has always shown a gentle side in front of Liang Jian, she is still a strong woman.
