Farmer's Struggle

Chapter 287 Crow's Mouth

"I didn't smell it, I just smelled rice noodles." Before Ju Min could finish speaking, terrified screams came into their ears.

"It's on fire, run, it's on fire," shouted a table of guests near the stairs on the second floor.

Ju Ling's crow mouth is really good but not bad. When going upstairs, he casually said that the narrow stairs are dangerous, and the danger really happened on the stairs.

I don't know who was still smoking when they went upstairs, and the cigarette butts were thrown on the stairs.The wooden stairs look stylish and cheap, but there are real fire hazards.

The wood was very dry and very flammable. It was a coincidence that there was a decorative cloth curtain hanging beside the staircase where the fire broke out. The flames quickly spread along the curtain, and the entire stairway on the second floor almost instantly turned into a fire. curtain.

The stairs are all burned, so it is definitely not possible to go down the stairs. There is no fire escape on the second floor, there is only one staircase, so I can only jump out of the window as Ju Ling said before.

Is it okay to hide on the second floor and wait for rescue?
The answer is of course no.

The fire spread quickly, and it was not at all certain that they could hide on it and wait for rescue.

Moreover, the number of people who were actually burned to death in the fire was actually a small number, and more people died of suffocation from inhaling toxic fumes.

There are windows upstairs, but the windows are very small, and there is no way to get air circulation, so it is better to leave the fire as soon as possible.

Ju Ling had learned relevant fire protection knowledge when she was in junior high school, and she always remembered it, but obviously some people didn't know it.

She watched several people hide in the innermost corner of the second floor, as if thinking that they would be safe if they hid in a place where they could not see the flames.

"Sister, go to the window and see if you can go down," Ju Ling suggested.

Ju Min managed to remain calm, dragged Ju Ling and staggered to the window, looking down, the hearts of the two sisters cooled down.

Not to mention that it is quite high, there is not a soft place underneath, if you jump directly and fall to death, you will definitely be injured.

While the two of them were looking out, Peng Yan and his friends came over and anxiously tried to find a solution together.

There was a lot of movement here, which alarmed other merchants and guests.

Ju Min and the others hadn't thought of a way to deal with it. Many people gathered downstairs, all looking up.

Enthusiastic people brought mattresses and quilts and put them underneath, so that people upstairs could jump down.

Ju Min took Ju Ling's hand, and looked back at the flames. Unexpectedly, in just this moment, the two of them were pulled away by a tyrannical force. A tall and strong man was holding a two or three-year-old child Jumped out the window.

The man landed on the mattress quilt with precision. The child in his arms was fine. When he got up, he had a painful expression on his face, and his movements were a little slow. Thinking about it, the fall was quite painful.

But in general, the big and the small are out of danger.

Someone succeeded, and the window on the second floor suddenly became crowded. People hiding in the corner ran over like crazy, squeezed their heads and jumped out of the window. Some people yelled that jumping one by one would not work.

Ju Min also wanted to squeeze, but as soon as he moved, his arms, one left and one right, were pulled.

It was Ju Ling and Peng Yan who held her back.

Peng Yan said: "This crowd is more dangerous, let's wait for a while."

The four of them leaned down and covered their mouths and noses, watching a human farce that was more tragic than a fire.

In the face of life and death, how many people still remember etiquette, remember to respect the old and love the young, and remember that women come first.

A woman in her 30s brought a mother in her 60s and [-]s and a child in her [-]s and [-] years old. She couldn’t protect the two by herself. The old mother was pushed down, and the woman rushed to help her, just in the blink of an eye. Her child was also knocked down.

There are relatives on the left and right, and they are all in danger of being trampled to death. Who will she save first?

The child was crying, the old mother was screaming, and the woman was desperate and didn't know what to do.

"Don't squeeze in, let's go after they dance," Peng Yan instructed, then straightened up and walked towards the woman.

Ju Min called the stuck in his throat and couldn't say anything.

Peng Yan pushed the woman to the child's side, while he himself pushed away the people who kept stepping on the old man, helped the old man up with difficulty, and helped Ju Min and the others.

Before the two of them came over, the woman had already rescued the child, and the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren were finally safer for the time being.

The old man was trampled on many times and was seriously injured. In addition to the thick smoke in this floor, her consciousness was not very clear.

Both women and children couldn't cry, and Ju Min and Ju Ling couldn't help persuading them.

After a while of confusion, the window finally came loose, and almost all the healthy and careless people jumped out.

Several people supported each other and came to the window, Ju Ling looked down, feeling cold again.

Just now these people were scrambling to jump down, thinking that they would survive by jumping, but the result was that the first group of people jumped off before they got up, and the second group jumped down. They might not be injured but were smashed. light.

When Ju Ling looked down, there was already a 50-[-]-year-old woman lying motionless next to the mattress. She didn't know whether she was in a coma or
"Don't be dazed, hurry up and jump, I can hardly breathe here," Peng Yan's friend urged.

This guy was quite interesting, he didn't run first by himself, but asked Ju Min and Ju Ling to jump first.

Ju Ling stepped aside and let the woman pass the child down first.

After all three grandparents and grandchildren landed safely, Ju Lingcai jumped down under Ju Min's urging.

She jumped down in a daze. Even though she jumped on the mattress, she padded her calves. She squatted in the pain and couldn't move. Thanks to the enthusiastic people around, they helped her to the side.

She was followed by Peng Yan's friends, and finally Ju Min and Peng Yan.

The two of them jumped down together.

Jumping together is not counted, and the two are still holding hands. Ju Ling looked at this scene of young couples jumping off a cliff hand in hand to die in love as if they were not tolerated by the world. For some reason, she was a little moved.

However, the truth is not so romantic and pathetic. In fact, it is Peng Yan who looks tough - afraid of heights.

I took a quick look downstairs and he was fine, but if he jumped from the second floor, his whole body trembled.

Seeing that the situation was critical, Ju Min couldn't care less, grabbed his hand, dragged him to the window sill, and jumped off together.

After landing, Ju Min pressed on Peng Yan's half-stretched body, and Peng Yan lay on the bed coughing for a long time, and Ju Min was startled again.

Fortunately, not long after they came down, the ambulance and fire engine came, and all the injured were taken to the hospital.

Ju Ling's condition is quite serious. At first she thought it was just a muscle strain or something, but she went to the hospital for an examination and found out that it was a tibial fracture!
The bones were a bit misaligned, and the doctor had to straighten the broken bones for her first, and then put a plaster cast on her to fix it. This process was quite painful, and Ju Ling gritted her teeth and endured it.

Then she was rested in bed, her injured leg had to be raised, and she couldn't move, which meant that she couldn't go to school for a while, and she couldn't receive the grand prize in the essay competition.
