172: Chapter 172 The fire is extinguished, the bill arrives!
Jiang Rumu had already walked up to Li Li.
Li Li still had his right hand raised, the OK gesture neither here nor there.
He looked down at himself.
Clothes soaked.
Wrist bleeding.
A koi fish was flapping its tail on the ground by his shoe.
The scene was quite complete.
One injured person.
One rescued teenager.
Several half-dead fish.
And one Jiang Rumu who was about to start scolding.
Song Yaoshan had been holding his knees and coughing just a moment ago, but seeing Jiang Rumu approach, he immediately stood straight.
"Sister Jiang! It really is you!"
Jiang Rumu ignored him.
She raised her hand and pulled open the loose gauze on Li Li's left wrist.
The wound had been soaked in water, the edges were red, and blood was still seeping out.
Li Li cooperated by pulling his hand back half an inch.
Jiang Rumu looked up.
Li Li handed his hand back again.
Those who know the times are wise.
Arguing at this moment would be voluntarily applying for cremation.
Jiang Rumu fished a disinfectant wet wipe out of her bag, tore it open, and pressed it onto the edge of his wrist.
Li Li's shoulders twitched.
Jiang Rumu didn't loosen her grip.
"Didn't you say reconnaissance and evacuation?"
Li Li looked at the wet wipe in her hand.
"I found a trapped person during the execution."
"I am asking you, didn't you say you wouldn't enter the fire scene?"
"Strictly speaking, the inside of the mall is not entirely a fire scene."
Song Yaoshan almost choked on his breath.
Brother Li.
You are truly brave.
If this was said out loud, even a fire axe would be silent for three seconds.
Jiang Rumu pressed the wet wipe onto the wound.
Li Li closed his eyes for a moment.
"Hiss."
Jiang Rumu continued to treat it.
"Strictly speaking?"
Li Li changed his tune quickly.
"I was wrong."
Cen Ye, Han Xubai, Fang Ruowei, Wen Tang, and Yin Ruoying also rushed over from the other car at this time.
Old Zhou followed, carrying the camera, and as the lens shook, the live stream exploded on the spot.
[It's here, it's here! Queen Jiang has started the trial!]
[He didn't kneel in the Middle East, he didn't kneel in the fire, and now he's about to kneel]
[Strictly speaking? Brother, you still dare to speak strictly?]
[She is scolding him, she is treating his wound, she loves him so much]
Cen Ye stood next to Song Yaoshan.
"Is this kid okay?"
Song Yaoshan immediately raised his hand.
"I'm fine! Just inhaled some smoke, my legs are a bit weak, and my heart is beating a bit fast. Just now when I saw Sister Jiang in person, my heart beat even faster."
Han Xubai pushed up his glasses.
"From a medical perspective, your description is not rigorous. From a fan perspective, it is very reasonable."
Yin Ruoying crossed her arms.
"Jiang Rumu, you should scold the important part. He just went in carrying an axe."
Li Li turned to look at her.
Yin Ruoying spread her hands.
"Don't look at me, I'm just adding to the case."
Han Xubai immediately chimed in.
"Witness Ms. Yin has provided key testimony, I suggest adopting it."
Cen Ye patted his arm.
"Lawyer Bai, stop stirring the pot, Brother Li is about to be sentenced."
Jiang Rumu threw the wet wipe into the trash can and pulled medical tape out of her bag again.
"Carrying an axe?"
Li Li paused.
This group of people.
Even enemy firepower wasn't this dense.
"A fire axe."
"You are quite professional."
"Occupational habit."
"Your current profession is a variety show guest."
"Temporary rescue personnel."
"Temporary rescue personnel without protective equipment?"
"I brought an axe."
Jiang Rumu stopped.
Li Li shut up.
The barrage went crazy with laughter.
[Brought an axe, hahaha]
[Jiang Rumu: I'm talking about equipment, you're talking about an axe?]
[Li Li's mouth, even a fire hose can't wash it clean]
Song Yaoshan hurriedly moved forward a step.
"Sister Jiang, you really can't blame Brother Li."
Jiang Rumu didn't reply.
Song Yaoshan continued outputting.
"I was in the Lanting Room at the time, the smoke had already come in, and the staff passage was blocked too. If Brother Li hadn't come, I might have really had to write my will."
Han Xubai coughed.
"From a legal validity perspective, your will..."
Cen Ye covered his mouth.
"Shut up."
Song Yaoshan nodded.
"Right, legal validity aside, the emotion was already there."
Fang Ruowei walked half a step closer.
"Mumu, don't be angry yet. The person was saved, the injury isn't too serious, let him deal with it first."
Wen Tang also nodded.
"Right, the fire truck has arrived, he didn't rush back in, he's already been very obedient."
Yin Ruoying looked at her.
"This is called obedient?"
Wen Tang's fingers paused on the cup lid, she didn't respond.
Jiang Rumu finally finished wrapping the tape.
It was wrapped very neatly.
Li Li looked at the circle of tape.
The level was not bad.
At least she didn't wrap his wrist like a zongzi.
Jiang Rumu stuffed the rest of the things back into her bag.
"You are like this every time."
Li Li didn't speak.
"In Dubai, you rushed forward."
"In the residential fire, you rushed forward."
"At the entrance of the Fire Station, you rushed forward."
"Today, eating a meal, you could also rush from the Cantonese cuisine box to the third floor of the mall."
She paused.
"Do you think you can carry everything?"
Li Li raised his hand to touch the bridge of his nose.
"It's okay."
Jiang Rumu raised her hand to hit him.
Li Li immediately hid his injured left hand behind him.
Jiang Rumu's hand stopped in mid-air, and finally patted his right arm.
Slap.
Not heavy.
But the scene went quiet.
This hit didn't hurt.
The dog food was very filling.
Cen Ye took a step back.
"Lawyer Bai."
Han Xubai pulled his hand down.
"Hmm."
"Should I not have eaten that plate of fried noodles just now?"
"Why?"
"I'm full now."
Han Xubai was silent for two seconds.
"From a physiological perspective, what you ate just now was carbohydrates. From a spiritual perspective, what you are ingesting now is high-concentration sugar."
Yin Ruoying turned and walked two steps.
"Sickeningly sweet."
Fang Ruowei raised her hand to arrange her hair, incidentally blocking her own live broadcast lens.
Wen Tang looked down at her phone, the barrage in the live stream was all brushing the same sentence.
[Stop scolding, I'm stuffed]
[Where is this dissatisfaction, this is couple after-sales service]
[Queen Jiang: I scold you because I'm afraid]
Song Yaoshan himself began to feel embarrassed.
He stood on the side, looking left and right, and finally added in a low voice.
"Sister Jiang, Brother Li is really amazing. When he kicked the door, I felt the door let out a sigh of relief."
Li Li turned his head.
"You shut up."
Song Yaoshan raised his hand and zipped his mouth.
"Zipper."
Jiang Rumu handed Li Li's phone back.
"I used your password."
Li Li took the phone.
"Hmm."
"You're not changing it?"
"Not changing it."
Jiang Rumu looked at him.
"Why?"
Li Li stuffed the phone back into his wet pants pocket.
"If I change it, you won't be able to open it next time."
The air stopped for half a beat.
Cen Ye raised his hand to cover his chest.
"I can't take it anymore."
Han Xubai looked up at the street lamp.
"The moon is quite round tonight."
Yin Ruoying turned her head.
"It's cloudy."
Han Xubai pushed his glasses.
"I was talking about the atmosphere."
The barrage went wild.
[If you change it, you won't be able to open it next time!!!]
[Li Li, you kid actually know how to do this!]
[Who said he was a straight man just now? Come out and get beaten]
[Jiang Rumu, stop scolding, he is openly scoring points]
Jiang Rumu didn't continue scolding.
She pointed her finger at the ambulance.
"Go get oxygen, treat the wound."
Li Li nodded.
"At your command."
Song Yaoshan immediately followed.
"Do I have to go too?"
Jiang Rumu turned her head.
"You go too."
Song Yaoshan stood straight.
"Received."
Li Li had just started walking towards the ambulance when the siren of a fire truck pressed in from afar.
Two vehicles turned in from the main road, red lights sweeping across the ground.
The car doors sprang open.
Firefighters got off the car team by team.
Qin Xiaoshan was the first to jump down from the back row, still clutching half a piece of compressed biscuit in his hand.
He landed and saw Li Li, and the biscuit almost dropped.
"Brother Li!"
Li Li raised his hand.
"Don't come over, do your work first."
Qin Xiaoshan braked, hurriedly stuffing the biscuit into his pocket.
"Oh oh!"
He ran out two steps, then turned back to shout.
"Brother Li, you're wet again!"
Li Li: "..."
This kid.
The sentence is fine.
It sounds very problematic.
Cheng Songyan got off another car, his helmet strap still not undone, and walked straight to Li Li.
"Was the person saved?"
Li Li nodded.
"Third floor, Lanting Room at Xinrongji Restaurant, one trapped person, already escaped."
Cheng Songyan swept a glance at Song Yaoshan.
Song Yaoshan immediately raised his hand.
"I am that trapped person, I am alive, I testify."
Cheng Songyan didn't pay attention to his joking, turning to the mall.
"How did the fire die down a bit? From afar just now, the smoke column wasn't that fierce."
Li Li pointed to the side of the second floor.
"There is a large water tank in the aquarium. I couldn't smash the acrylic board, so I dismantled the bottom drain pipe. Dozens of tons of water entered the first-floor fire scene, suppressing the peripheral open flames, and incidentally bought some time for the third floor."
Cheng Songyan paused.
Qin Xiaoshan had just run past from the side, heard this sentence, and turned back directly.
"Brother Li, you released the fish tank?"
"Hmm."
"What about the other fish?"
"Some gained freedom."
"This freedom is a bit costly."
Cheng Songyan looked at the second floor, then at Li Li, and gave a thumbs up.
"Judgment was fast."
Li Li didn't respond.
Cheng Songyan continued.
"But seriously."
Li Li looked at him.
Cheng Songyan pushed his helmet up a bit.
"Maybe if you weren't there, the fire wouldn't have started."
The scene went quiet for a moment.
Cen Ye was the first to laugh out loud.
"Captain Cheng, your words are heart-piercing!"
Han Xubai nodded.
"From a statistical perspective, there is indeed a correlation worth studying between the location of Li Li's appearance and the probability of sudden events."
Yin Ruoying added.
"I suggest the Production Team equip him with a disaster warning icon next time."
Fang Ruowei chimed in.
"The title of the live stream will be: Where is Li Li today, where do you need to buy insurance."
Song Yaoshan raised his hand.
"I testify, I was already eating on the third floor before Brother Li came, so this time it can't be all blamed on him."
Qin Xiaoshan, chewing on a biscuit, spoke vaguely.
"Then that can only be blamed on both of you being there."
The crowd laughed for a while.
Li Li also twitched his facial muscles.
But he didn't take this sentence entirely as a joke.
That unmanned SUV at the entrance of the Fire Station.
Wutong Mountain wildfire.
Today, it was the new energy car showroom catching fire again.
Three times.
All happened near him.
All happened during the program's live broadcast.
When there are too many coincidences, statistics start to curse.
He turned to look at the first floor of the mall.
The fire had been suppressed by the fire hose, and white smoke was pouring out.
Cheng Songyan started to walk forward, asking as he walked.
"How many cars in the car showroom?"
Li Li followed two steps.
"I didn't enter the front. From the side entrance, I saw at least three open flames, suspected one main burning car ignited the surrounding display cars."
"Any information before the explosion?"
"I heard a loud bang from the restaurant side. Old Zhou came to report, saying the new energy car on the first floor caught fire."
Cheng Songyan nodded, turned, and signaled to the team members.
"Qin Xiaoshan, lay the line with the second group. Watch out for battery thermal runaway, don't get too close."
Qin Xiaoshan immediately ran away.
"Received!"
Jiang Rumu watched Li Li walk forward again from behind and spoke directly.
"Li Li."
Li Li stopped.
She didn't say much, just pointed to the ambulance.
Li Li looked at Cheng Songyan.
Cheng Songyan waved his hand.
"Get lost and deal with the wound. We don't need you here."
Li Li accepted the arrangement.
Very sensible.
Sometimes, the desire to save one's life is not innate; it is trained by Jiang Rumu.
By the ambulance, medical staff put an oxygen mask on Song Yaoshan and pulled Li Li over to treat his wrist.
Song Yaoshan couldn't stay idle even with the mask on.
"Brother Li, I said in my will just now to donate money to the welfare home, does that still count?"
Li Li sat on the folding chair, extending his left hand.
"Live until you are eighteen first."
"Then can I set up a fund first?"
"Set it up after you finish your high school entrance exam."
"My grades are very good."
"Then it will be more ceremonial after the exam."
Song Yaoshan thought for a while and nodded.
"Makes sense."
Jiang Rumu stood on the side, heard this, and raised her hand to press Song Yaoshan's mask back on.
"Less talking."
Song Yaoshan immediately shut up.
Just as it quieted down here, a shout came from the mall side.
The fire was under control.
The open flames on the first floor were extinguished, the aquarium on the second floor was still leaking water, and the ground was washed out with a patch of red and white fish.
The deputy director of the Production Team ran over, sweating profusely.
"Teachers, the fire department says it's safe on the perimeter, let's go back to the restaurant to get our things, and then return to the villa."
Cen Ye raised his hand.
"Are we still eating?"
Yin Ruoying looked at him.
"Can you still eat?"
Cen Ye touched his stomach.
"The dog food just now occupied the spiritual stomach, the roast goose occupies the physical stomach, there is no conflict."
Han Xubai nodded.
"Categorized management, the logic is complete."
Fang Ruowei spoke.
"Then let's go back first, don't affect the rescue at the scene."
The crowd prepared to walk to the parking area.
Li Li had just stood up, the medical staff cut the gauze, and urged him not to touch water.
Li Li looked at his whole body.
Not touch water?
It's already too late.
Just as he was about to get in the car with Jiang Rumu, a man in a suit rushed out from the side.
The man was in his thirties, his hair was gelled, his pant legs were soaked, and he was holding a mobile phone.
On the phone screen, the surveillance footage of the aquarium shop was paused.
He blocked Li Li directly.
"You are the one who smashed our water tank just now?"
The footsteps on the scene stopped.
Old Zhou's lens turned over immediately.
Li Li looked at him.
"Dismantled the drain pipe."
The man raised his phone.
"Admitting it is enough!"
He pressed forward a step.
"Our custom water tank cost 2.8 million, the koi, goldfish, equipment, and landscape inside add up to at least 4 million."
"I don't care that you saved people."
"But you damaged the property in our store, shouldn't we talk about this compensation?"
Cen Ye exploded on the spot.
"No, big brother, you're talking about a fish tank at this time?"
Han Xubai stepped forward.
"Don't get excited yet. According to the principle of emergency avoidance."
The man interrupted directly.
"I don't care about any principles! Whoever smashed it pays!"
Song Yaoshan even took off his oxygen mask.
"I'll pay! I have money!"
Li Li raised his hand and pressed him back.
"Keep it on."
Jiang Rumu stood to Li Li's side, didn't speak, just hung her bag on her shoulder.
Yin Ruoying crossed her arms and laughed.
"It's really lively tonight. The fire just went out, and the bill came."
Cheng Songyan walked back from the cordon and stopped two meters away.
The direction of the barrage changed on the spot.
[??? You have to pay for the fish tank after saving people?]
[Learn about emergency avoidance, boss]
[Blocking a lifesaver for a 4 million fish tank? The abacus counting was heard all the way to the fire truck]
[It's here, it's here, new instance: Koi Compensation Case]
The man held his phone up to Li Li.
In the surveillance footage, Li Li chopped the drain pipe with an axe, the water rushed out, and the fish followed.
The man bit onto this footage.
"The evidence is here."
"Don't think about leaving."
