I opened an amusement park to turn a fourth-tier county into a first-tier one

This is the hot search scene that Song Shi saw when he opened the V-blog hot search in the morning.

She clicked on the most searched entry, and someone had already given her the time and place.

According to netizens, the fire broke out in an old residential building in Fang City.

Because the house is quite old, most of the people living there are elderly people or young people living with their parents.

The fire broke out on the fifth floor.

Neighbors at the scene speculated that the cardboard in the corridor was ignited and the fire blocked the doors of two households on the same floor.

It even tends to extend inward along the door.

It was the neighbor downstairs who discovered the fire.

This morning, an elderly couple on the fourth floor were preparing to go out for a walk.

When I went out, I could smell a slight smell of cigarette smoke in the air.

The two old men simply thought that someone was smoking here, so they went downstairs without paying any attention.

After walking downstairs for a while, the grandfather of the elderly couple suddenly realized that he had not brought his senior citizen card, so he comforted his wife to sit on a chair outside the restaurant downstairs and went upstairs to get it.

The fourth floor may not be a big deal for a young person, but it still requires some effort for these elderly people in their 6s or 70s.

My children have already settled down elsewhere, and I feel sorry for my parents having to climb the stairs all the time. I always tell them that I will sell the old house and live with them.

But they have lived here all their lives. This is where all their memories and thoughts are. How can they give it up so easily?

Although they were a little tired, they were still able to walk, so the old couple firmly refused them.

By now the old man had finally climbed to the third floor and was already out of breath. He thought to himself: I am really getting old. Climbing these stairs today is so tiring.

Finally, he reached the fourth floor holding the stair railing and he noticed something was wrong.

There was a thick smoke in the air here.

He was choking and had difficulty breathing. His neighbors had moved away long ago, and he was the only one left on this floor. The smoke definitely did not come from either of them.

The old man looked up and, as he had expected, the smoke on the top floor was even thicker.

He was aware that there was a fire on the 5th floor, but he didn't know how severe the fire was.

I thought that if the fire was small, I would go home and get some water to put out the fire.

So he held the stair railing and walked upstairs.

He kept looking back upstairs, and before he reached the corner of the stairs between the 4th and 5th floors, he saw that a raging fire had already broken out upstairs.

The old man was so frightened that he stopped moving forward and turned to walk downstairs.

The smoke on the fourth floor was getting thicker and thicker. He didn't dare to stay there, so he decided to go downstairs and make a phone call first.

When he reached the third floor, he hesitated for a moment, wondering whether to go downstairs to notify the firefighters and the property management first or to inform the neighbors downstairs first.

However, his actions made the decision faster than his brain.

He knocked on the third-floor door and shouted, "There's a fire! Come down quickly."

Then he turned around and knocked on another house. Only when he heard someone respond and the door open did he go downstairs.

There was less smoke on the second floor, so he took out his old cell phone and dialed the fire department number, then kept knocking on the second-floor door.

He knocked all the way downstairs and walked out of the building.

He looked up and saw nothing unusual happening on the fifth floor from the outside.

The fire spread from the inner staircase and of course could not be seen from the outside.

He walked back to the chair where his wife was sitting and resting.

The old lady has been waiting here for some time and is a little worried that something might have happened to the old man.

Just as I was about to go back, I saw my wife walking towards me with sweat all over her face.

"Are you going to get your card? What takes you so long?" She walked up to him.

"You don't know, there's a fire upstairs."

Hearing this news suddenly, the old lady was also a little surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Are you okay? How are the people upstairs?"

The old man shook his head and said, "I'm fine. I even helped wake up several neighbors downstairs."

"It's Old Li and the others..." The old man seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Old Li was one of the neighbors living upstairs.

"He should be fine. I saw him and his wife leaving the house from the window before I went out today.

His son and daughter-in-law are at work, and his children are at school, so no one should be hurt.

501 and 502 upstairs are the same.

A few years ago, Mr. Li's son got married. After discussing with his family, they decided that they couldn't afford a new house in the city, and there were no second-hand houses in good locations.

It just so happened that the neighbors were about to sell their house, so they bought it directly and used it as a wedding house for their children, so that they could be close to each other and have someone to look after them.

"We smelled smoke when we went out. I guess there was already a small fire at that time." The old lady suddenly remembered that they smelled a hint of smoke when they just went out.

"I guess they used to pile up cardboard at the entrance to burn it." Old Li has the habit of collecting cardboard to sell for money. He often goes to various places in the community to pick them up, and finally piles them at the door of his house. Since both households have their own homes, there are no disputes between neighbors.

"Didn't you say you saw them leave through the window? That's about the same time we left." The old man also noticed the time he just mentioned. "I guess they accidentally flicked their cigarette butts or ash to the side while smoking on their way out."

The old lady sighed and said, "I don't know if it will affect our home. Let's go back and check if the fire department has arrived." Then she turned and moved towards the building where her home was.

"I just called, it might take a while." The old man responded from behind.

When I took him downstairs to my house, there were already many onlookers standing in front of the unit door.

The old man looked up and could already see smoke coming out of the window.

"Oh, the fire must have spread inside." He looked at it in surprise, then took out his cell phone, "I almost forgot to call Lao Li."

"Hello." Lao Li answered the phone very quickly.

"Old Li, please go home quickly. Your house is on fire." He told the other party directly without any further ado.

"Ah? How is that possible? There's no one at home."

"The fire is at the entrance door. Don't worry about it and come back quickly." The old man didn't explain to him and hung up the phone directly.

One minute later, Old Li did not come, but his daughter-in-law came instead.

Their neighbors all knew each other well and knew that Old Li's daughter-in-law worked in the pharmacy at the entrance of the community, so it was expected that she would come so quickly.

The woman's face was already covered with tears. She must have cried when she came.

Seeing the woman trying to go up, the neighbor quickly stopped her and said, "It's not scary if the house is destroyed, but if you go in, it will cost a life."

The woman struggled to break free, shaking her head with tears in her eyes. Finally, she uttered in pain, "My daughter is in there."
