At that time, Mr. Liu called the 119 fire alarm, and then returned home quickly. He took his daughter-in-law first and rushed her to the hospital.
Thanks to his timely delivery, his wife gave birth as soon as she arrived at the hospital. When she was put on the stretcher, the baby's head was exposed. It can be said that it was very smooth, and it didn't take more than an hour.
Mother and son were safe. Mr. Liu finally breathed a sigh of relief. After settling everything, he remembered that he didn't know what was going on with his sister-in-law.
Only then did he realize that there were several missed calls on his phone, all from Huang Xiaoqin.
He then told his wife that her sister's house was on fire and he had just called 119. He didn't know what was going on now.
His wife became anxious when she heard this and asked him to go and have a look quickly because her sister lived alone and there was no one around to take care of her.
Both sisters are from other places. Sister Huang has been working in Harbin, while the younger sister went to school here. She has just graduated and is planning to find a job.
Therefore, my sister has no other relatives here except her elder sister and brother-in-law.
Mr. Liu quickly called his sister Huang Xiaoqin, but no one answered. He left the hospital and hurried to his sister Huang Xiaoqin's place.
When we got to the place, we saw that everything was fine and there was no sign of fire at all.
He was puzzled, and then called his wife and told her about the situation.
When his wife asked where he was, she became anxious on the spot and asked, "Are you being careless? My sister moved away last month. Why are you going to the original place?" !
Mr. Liu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and then he remembered his sister's move.
He realized something was wrong, so he got in the car and immediately rushed to his sister's new home.
Because when he called 119 just now, the address he reported was where Huang Xiaoqin used to live, not the address of his new home!
However, when he arrived at the place, he could see billowing smoke in the dark night far away, and sometimes deadly tongues of fire licking the night sky.
His heart sank instantly. He got out of the car and ran up desperately, but was stopped by the firefighters.
The fire scene is so dangerous that not everyone can enter it.
Mr. Liu burst into tears at that time. He felt deeply regretful and beat himself on the head. He couldn't help but burst into tears.
Because Huang Xiaoqin is an introverted and weak girl, she rarely interacts with people, and is a bit socially anxious. She doesn't want to make phone calls for anything, and relies on her sister and brother-in-law for everything.
Such a girl is often at a loss when encountering danger, and may not even know how to escape.
The fire burned until the east turned white, and then it finally slowly extinguished.
Many people escaped from the fire, wearing sheets and shoes, and some were only wearing shorts, in any shape.
But some people couldn't escape.
Firefighters counted several bodies from the fire scene, most of which were burned beyond recognition.
Among them is Huang Xiaoqin.
It took Mr. Liu a while to recognize who was Huang Xiaoqin. At that time, his legs were weakening all the time, his whole body was shaking, and he felt like he was going to faint at any moment.
Obviously he was the first to know about the fire, but he reported the wrong address, which resulted in the death of so many people.
He knew that with Huang Xiaoqin's character, he must have believed that he had called the police, so he anxiously waited at home for the arrival of the fire truck.
Maybe the fire wasn't that big at the time, and Huang Xiaoqin might have found a way to put out the fire at home.
However, when she realized that she couldn't put out the fire at all and tried to escape, it might be too late.
After Sister Huang learned the news, she cried and fainted. But no matter how she complained, scolded, or made trouble, the matter was irreversible.
Mr. Liu was also burdened with huge ideological pressure and gritted his teeth to get through that period.
Later, the fire investigation results came out. The first fire location was indeed Huang Xiaoqin's home. It was caused by an electrical fire. Huang Xiaoqin took measures to extinguish the fire at that time, but they were ineffective.
By the time she wanted to escape, it was already too late.
At that time, there was thick smoke everywhere in the room, and there was no need to use a fire. The choking would have choked people to death.
Huang Xiaoqin's body was found at the door of the bedroom. She was running out, holding a bag in her hand, which contained almost all her belongings...
Therefore, she did not escape immediately, but turned back to get her things. As a result, she failed to escape, inhaled the smoke and suffocated, and then died in the fire.
According to the alarm record, Huang Xiaoqin called Mr. Liu for the first time and made several more calls ten minutes later, but Mr. Liu was only focused on his wife and didn't pay attention at all.
Then, Huang Xiaoqin called the 119 fire alarm. Only then did the firefighters learn about the fire. However, by the time they arrived at the scene, the fire was already difficult to control.
Because Mr. Liu called and reported the wrong address, which led to such serious consequences, he was also reprimanded, but it was just a reprimand, because he made no mistakes subjectively. He just forgot that Huang Xiaoqin had moved, and he was in a hurry to see his wife off. It took him to the hospital to cause a disaster.
However, no matter what, those few lives were lost.
Mr. Liu felt extremely guilty about this. He had not recovered for several years. Every time he woke up in the dead of night, he felt tightness in his chest and difficulty breathing, as if someone was tugging at his heart.
The same goes for his wife. She cries when she thinks of her sister who died innocently and tragically. From that time on, she was always uneasy and couldn't sleep at night.
The same is true for children, who always cry at night and start crying in the middle of the night. They often make noises all night long and only stop at dawn.
Someone told them that it was Huang Xiaoqin's lingering spirit that came to find them.
They have also found people to deal with it several times, but to no avail.
Later, an old monk told them that ghosts and gods arise purely from the heart. As long as they don’t believe in, fear, or fear, there will be no ghosts.
He also told them a way to recite sutras at home and pray for the protection and protection of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.
So from that time on, Sister Huang made up her mind not to believe anything, and no matter who asked her to see things, she would not listen.
Not to mention, since I stopped being exposed to these things and started chanting sutras every day, my condition has gradually improved.
Later, Mr. Liu opened a company, and the family's life became better and better, so they no longer thought about it.
But many years later, when the child was nine years old, this happened suddenly again.
Mr. Liu really didn’t hold anything back and told me all the ins and outs of this matter.
After hearing this, I was also sighing. I originally thought that the female ghost was the ghost who died in the fire in the old house near the company, but I never expected that she was Mr. Liu's sister-in-law.
In this case, since she was lingering in the underground parking lot, she must have been eyeing Mr. Liu's family for a long time.
But why did she wait until now to take action?
I hesitated for a moment, and then said to Mr. Liu: "Um...can you give me your child's birthday and horoscope?"
