That's right, the waste collection station has a somewhat smelly smell that will offend the surrounding residents. When we were building a scrap collection station, we had to pick a place that was not too far from the county seat and was surrounded by wasteland.
There is no place other than scrapyards where such a big fire can be lit.
-----
The neighbors all came out to watch.
"Oops, it's on fire."
"Look, that direction is the county town."
"It's a double grab to burn straw."
"It's impossible. It's not that big of a fire to burn straw during a double robbery. Besides, the double robbery hasn't even started yet. Shouldn't one of the houses be on fire?"
"What a sin! Such a big fire will burn so many things."
"The things are fine. Don't burn people to death. That will cause trouble."
"That is, if someone is trapped inside, there is no way to escape from such a fire."
In this era, there was no fertilizer, so farmers would burn the extra straw in the fields to increase fertility. But they will be very careful and clean up the surrounding area. There won't be such a big fire.
The mining area is in a ravine, and the mountains next to it naturally catch fire every one or two years. It's scary when it burns.
Therefore, workers in mining areas are particularly sensitive to fire.

Gu Zhanyan came over with Diandian in his arms and leaned against Li Wenjun.
Li Wenjun asked: "Has the door been locked at home?"
Gu Zhanyan didn't know why he asked, so he replied: "It's locked."
Li Wenjun: "I'm going to the city for a visit, and I may not come back until very late. You can take some with you and sleep with your parents tonight."
If there had been such a big fire in the county before his rebirth, Li Wenjun would definitely remember it.
Because after he left home, he never stopped paying attention to any news about this small county and mining area.
A fire like this is big news and will definitely be reported.
Therefore, it must be the change in his life trajectory that caused this fire.
The person who set the fire was someone related to him.
It's just that he hasn't figured out yet where the person who set the fire is connected to him and needs to burn down the scrap collection station.
So he always had a bad feeling and didn't want to leave Gu Zhanyan alone at home with the child at night.
"I know." Gu Zhanyan replied.
When Li Wenjun was about to leave, Gu Zhanyan reached out and grabbed his arm again, with a trembling voice: "You have to be careful."
"Okay, don't worry. I'm just going to take a look." Li Wenjun tried his best to put on a comforting smile on his face, kissed him a little, and went to pick up the bicycle.
Li Wenyong chased after him: "I'll go with you."
Li Wenjun thought for a while: "Okay."
Although a fight is unlikely, it's always good to have someone watching his back.
----
Li Wenjun and Li Wenyong rode bicycles along the road to the county town without saying a word under the moonlight, just like ancient warriors riding horses to the battlefield.
The closer we get to the scrap collection station, the more vivid and enchanting the red sky becomes, as if a monster is showing off its magic power in the sky.
When we arrived near the scrap collection station, the heat wave rolled in, making people unable to get close.
You can still faintly smell the smell of diesel in the thick smoke.
Someone must have set the fire on purpose.
Firefighters are already extinguishing the fire, but it looks like nothing is left except the red brick house.
Li Jianguo looked at the fire with a face full of gray and despair, and beside him stood the young Li Guangzhi.
Li Wenjun didn't expect to meet an old acquaintance under such circumstances.
Ah, no, according to the timeline before rebirth, he should not have seen Li Guangzhi yet.
Stay calm and don't scare others.
Li Wenjun reminded himself secretly.
Li Jianguo saw Li Wenjun and said hello feebly: "Comrade Wenjun, you are here, look at this..."
He choked up before he could finish speaking.
Li Wenjun hurriedly stepped forward, shook his hand, and reassured him: "Don't be too anxious. I'll see if there's anything I can do to help."
"Thank you for coming all the way." Li Jianguo shook his head and sighed, "There's no need. It's all burned. It should take a month for me to receive the radio again before I can supply it to you."
Li Wenjun thought: Could it be that the connection point is here?
He asked: "Where did the fire start?"
Li Jianguo thought for a while: "From the southwest corner."
That's where the radio is. Near the radio are scrap iron and scrap copper old bicycles. If it was just for the purpose of causing damage, the arsonist would probably light the fire from the waste newspapers and cardboard boxes that are best burned.
Li Wenjun asked again: "Do you know who it is?"
Li Jianguo shook his head: "The guard just finished patrolling and saw no one. They should have climbed over the wall from behind. There are no residents nearby, so no one was seen."
There was no surveillance video in this day and age, so there was no way to know who it was unless someone saw it.
"Don't think too much." Li Wenjun reassured, "As long as everything is fine."
"Yes, fortunately, I deposited all the money in the savings bank during the day and did not leave it in the office." Li Jianguo suddenly remembered that Li Guangzhi was still there, so he pulled him over and said to Li Wenjun, "This is my son."
Li Wenjun stretched out his hand and grinned: "Hello, Comrade Li Guangzhi." Although he tried his best to hide it, the smile was sincere and warm, and it was clearly the look in the eyes of a long-lost friend.
Li Guangzhi was a little confused, took his hand and replied: "Hello, Comrade Li Wenjun, my father often mentions you and says you have great ideas and talents."
Li Wenjun introduced Li Jianguo and Li Wenyong again. When Li Wenyong was greeting Li Jianguo, he whispered to Li Guangzhi: "Don't go to Suicheng Electronics Factory to work. You will have more space if you stay here."
Li Guangzhi stared at Li Wenjun in horror, and the smile on his face froze. He was tired of this backward small county, and he didn't want to take over his father's scrap collection station. He plans to secretly go to Suicheng next month.
But how did Li Wenjun know?
Li Wenjun patted him and pointed at the fire that was about to be extinguished by the firefighters: "This is a golden mountain. Just guard it. If you don't know anything in the future, come and ask me."
Li Guangzhi's mouth twitched.
This place is now burnt black and smoking, and it's really hard to tell that it's a golden mountain.
Even before it was burned, it was still a pile of broken copper and iron, and a garbage dump infested with snakes, insects, rats, and ants.
It really has nothing to do with such a beautiful word as Jinshan.
"Even if you go to Suicheng, you will find that the waste collection is still going on. You only need to stay for one more month and you will understand." Li Wenjun saw that he did not believe him, and added, "I have to go out for a few days. I’ll tell you when I come back. Come to me and I’ll explain it to you in detail.”
Li Guangzhi nodded hesitantly: "Okay."
Anyway, there is no rush to go to Suicheng to work during this month. Besides, he still had concerns about leaving his hometown and leaving his parents behind.
Then listen to Li Wenjun once and stay for one more month.
