Gao Xian obviously underestimated the additive effect of full English in a British colony like Xiangjiang. Boss Wang, who was originally arrogant, was immediately suppressed.

Soon, the fuck came to make complaints about the "real Nim's age tragedy". Then he raised his finger to the door and said, "Get_out!"

Although boss Wang didn't understand it, he could guess what it meant, so he reluctantly stood up and said bitterly: "when did you have a relative related to the ghost guy in your family? It's terrible..."

Qin Sumei politely sent her out and said, "don't bother boss Wang."

Seeing that the buzzing flies were driven away, Lu Renbao was not so happy. He kept saying that although it was slightly monotonous, it was extremely sincere "Gao Xian, you're really powerful".

Qin Sumei, who returned, was embarrassed and said, "Mr. Gao, you're kidding. Poor people are such rotten things that can't be on the table."

"In life, you can always meet all kinds of people and things." Gao Xian said understandably: "does this man surnamed Wang drive?"

"Mr. Kao has a good eye and can make a guess. Liang Kai is in the minibus business. The minibuses that used to run only in the new territories are now allowed to drive into the urban area, and business is very good. I heard that some minibuses can earn more than 100 yuan a day, and the Liang Kai family has bought the building." Qin Sumei said with regret: "If baozi's father were still there, he would certainly be able to catch up with this good situation, and the conditions at home would not be so bitter."

"Life and death have a life, wealth and honor in heaven." Gao Xian said with emotion, "therefore, this Liang Kai is very arrogant."

"Liang Kai dared to do this in front of our orphaned and widowed mother. As soon as Mr. Gao spoke, he left in despair." Qin Sumei said with more respect: "Mr. Gao is proficient in English, so it's easier to find a job. It's no problem to work in a foreign firm. A manager of the yarn factory where I work, his son is in a foreign firm. He has a high salary, lives in a big villa, drives a private car and is served by servants."

"I hope I can borrow aunt Qin's good words." Gao Xian said with a smile: "anyway, I won't forget the warm hospitality of aunt Qin and Dabao."

……

After that, there was no interruption. Although this simple but very sincere dinner was eaten smoothly, Gao Xian also heard a lot of current information from Qin Sumei. Even if the level was not high, it was practical enough to make him feel a lot more secure.

There is no electricity in the squatter area. Naturally, there is no entertainment such as watching TV. Moreover, Qin Sumei has to go to work in the factory tomorrow, so after chatting around the kerosene lamp for a while, they have a rest respectively.

Seeing Lu Renbao lying down beside him, he went to sleep. Gao Xian couldn't help laughing, "touched" his mobile phone and headphones, and tried to listen to Xiangjiang's local FM radio station.

Not to mention, Gao Xian's plan did not fail. He easily searched the frequencies of Xiangjiang radio and Xiangjiang commercial radio, and some current affairs information came into his ears one after another.

For example, the Hong Kong government's first Xiangjiang Festival, which costs up to HK $4 million and takes more than seven months to prepare, will be held soon.

For another example, the second stock exchange in Xiangjiang, the Far East Exchange founded by Chinese, will also officially open in the near future and recruit talents.

If the Xiangjiang Festival made Gao Xian taste it, and the Hong Kong government's eagerness to dredge people's grievances and appease people's hearts after suppressing the riots the year before last, the Far East Exchange made him suddenly find a way forward.

After retrieving some relevant information from Xiaozhuang, Gao Xian became more and more interested.

At 21 o'clock, Gao Xian checked the mobile phone time, and then he was relieved to close his eyes - he finally didn't have to look around at a loss.

As soon as the nerves relax, Gao Xian sleeps a little heavy. After all, the changes of circumstances during this period are really unimaginable. It's not too much to say that it tortures him physically and mentally.

……

I don't know how long it took. Gao Xian, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly felt someone pushing him hard.

As soon as she was excited, Gao Xian suddenly woke up. While her nose smelled a choking smell, Qin Sumei's panicked voice came to her ear, "baozi, Mr. Gao, get up and there's a fire."

Almost lying in harmony, Gao Xian sat up and asked in a surprised voice, "where is the fire?"

"There's a big fire outside, and our wooden house can't avoid it." Qin Sumei quickly replied, shaking Lu Renbao hard.

The high string, who had heard the cry of heaven and earth, hurried to the door and looked around. In an instant, his heart sank. He saw thick smoke and flames rising in the air, and the Lujia wooden house behind him also burst into flames.

Gao Xian quickly turned back to the house and said in a hurry, "aunt Qin, I'll carry Dabao. You pack up valuable things and escape here together."

"OK, OK." Qin Sumei stumbled to find a bag, ran to the table and put the portrait in.

"Is there any water at home?" Gao Xian picked up the thin quilt he had just covered and found a towel.

"I remember there's still half a jar of water," replied Qin Sumei, who had cleaned up and carried her bag obliquely on her shoulder.

"Cover your mouth and nose with this." Gao Xian gave Qin Sumei the soaked towel. He carried Lu Renbao on his back, put on a wet thin quilt, and then shouted, "aunt Qin, follow me. Don't fall behind."

Not long after they ran out of the door, a gust of wind blew. The fire borrowed the wind and the wind helped the fire. The Lujia wooden house was swallowed in the twinkling of an eye.

At this time, Lu Renbao, who had been confused, finally woke up and was scared by the fire around him.

"It's all right, Dabao, we're all here." Gao Xian clapped each other hard with his backhand.

Qin Sumei also comforted: "Bao Zi, look, there is no fire in front of us. We will be safe soon."

Of course, they are not the only refugees. Gao Xian met people with families along the way, not a thousand, but also 800.

Shocked by the uncontrollable extent of the fire, Gao Xian said, "I haven't seen such a dense population in this squatter area during the day!"

Fortunately, the escape went smoothly. Gao Xian took Lu Renbao on his back and led Qin Sumei to a safe place outside the squatter area.

At this time, looking back at the squatter area, I saw that the whole sky had been illuminated by the fire. From time to time, there should be the explosion of kerosene. People who escaped the disaster beat their hearts and feet in the face of their destroyed homes.

To be honest, Gao Xian has no feelings for the squatter area where he has only stayed for less than a whole day. Naturally, he will not feel how sad, but he is moved to see that there are still many old and young people staggering away from the fire.

Glancing at Qin Sumei with a sad face and Lu Renbao in a daze, he said in a low voice, "take a break and I'll help those slow children and old people."

"Mr. Gao, pay attention to safety." Qin Sumei sighed, "as long as there is a fire here, you can only listen to fate."

Gao Xian soon fell into the busy work of supporting the old and carrying the young. At first, he didn't taste the subtext of Qin Sumei's words until he saw the boss Wang who fooled Qin Sumei into remarriage.

At this time, Liang Kai was not arrogant in front of the orphan and widowed mother. He was begging a policeman, "Asir, please keep my warehouse."

"Who doesn't want to keep his property at this time, but how?" the other party asked solemnly, "In such a large wooden cabin area, every family uses and stores fire water. At a glance, it is full of combustibles. Coupled with the strong wind at night, it can't even burn up. The headquarters has determined that this is a level 5 fire. Our task is to ensure that the fire doesn't spread outside the squatter area. As for the situation inside, hum..."

Liang Kai continued to plead: "Asir, my warehouse is next to this wooden house area. As long as you ask your brothers to open the water pipe and don't let it burn."

"Is the water pipe opened casually?" the policeman scolded, "don't we prevent accidents in such a big fire?"

"Asir, you and your brothers have worked hard." Liang Kai put a wad of money in his face, "please."

"It's not easy to see you. Let's take care of you as much as possible." the other party's tone immediately eased down and commanded a team of firefighters: "open the water hose and cool down his warehouse."

He was carrying a high string of a little girl who was lost in the fire. Seeing this, he couldn't help grinning, "I'll go. The firefighters have to collect money first before they are willing to turn on the water gun to put out the fire. Now the Xiangjiang River is a little dark! I'm so upright. Shouldn't I still be tragically unable to get along?"
