They had hardly left when the smell of something burning wafted from the kitchen.
Soon after, neighbors were heard shouting, "Fire!"
At first, people just noticed thick smoke in the corridors, but by the time the source was located, the Zhang Family’s kitchen was already ablaze.
Someone yelled, "It’s Zhang Weigang’s house that’s caught fire! Quick, put it out!"
Just then, the door to another bedroom in the Zhang family home flew open, and their younger daughter, Zhang Xueshan, stumbled out, crying, "Help!"
Someone carrying water to douse the flames saw her and quickly pulled her outside.
A worried neighbor asked in a panic, "Has anyone seen the Zhang family?"
An elderly neighbor, who had just come up from downstairs, responded, "Zhang Weigang and his wife took their eldest daughter to the hospital, and Zi’an went with them."
Hearing this, someone else said, "Let’s get two people to take Xueshan over too. And have one of them call back to manage things at home."
It was about time Zhang Xueyan reacted, Yunyi figured, but she hadn’t anticipated the chain reaction that would unfold within the Zhang family.
While Yunyi was pondering this, she heard someone calling, "Chuyunyi, someone’s looking for you."
Yunyi stood up and walked out, asking, "Who’s looking for me?"
She had barely finished asking when she saw Shi Jingfang. "Auntie Jingfang," Yunyi exclaimed, "how did you know I was here?"
Shi Jingfang smiled and took her hand. "I called Wenhui a few days ago, and she said you were in the Northwest filming a movie. I happened to be here on a business trip these past few days, so I asked around for your location."
Yunyi smiled and linked her arm with Shi Jingfang’s. "Thank you, Auntie Jingfang. It must have been a lot of trouble for you, coming all this way to see me."
Shi Jingfang wasn’t sure how to bring it up, so she asked quietly, "Do you have a place to shower here? I’ve been so busy these past few days that I’m starting to smell."
Yunyi nodded. "Where we’re staying, there’s a temporary shower."
