Chapter 22 A Word Becomes a Prophecy

In the evening, it is time for work to finish.

Because there was no show at night, everyone got the lunch box and prepared to go home.

"Wow, roast goose rice! I'm so lucky, I actually have roast goose legs!" Lin Yan opened the lunch box and shouted exaggeratedly. Then he pretended to see his sister's lunch box, and exclaimed, "Hey, Lin Si, why is your pork?"

"I don't want to eat any roast goose. Do you think you can get roast goose rice? I just don't want to eat such a 'poisonous' roast goose. That's why the uncle who served the rice asked me to replace it with pork." Lin Si said disdainfully, "You are so angry, be careful that acne will grow into pockmarks, just like the surface of the moon."

"Okay, concentrate on eating, and you have to take the bus back after dinner." Seeing that they were quarreling again, Lin Jing had to mediate.

After dinner, after resting for about ten minutes, Lin Jing and the others took a taxi to go home.

Originally, my father had to take the bus, but it was the peak period for getting off work. Each bus was full of people. There were four people in the family. Lin Si was still young, so it would be very troublesome to squeeze the bus, so Lin Jing finally took charge and called a taxi.

She is no longer as penniless as a few months ago. Although she hasn't become rich yet, she can still afford a taxi. The money is originally made to make it easier for life.

However, she could understand her father's approach. It was not that she could not afford the taxi money, but that he was used to saving money. Whenever he needed to spend money in daily life, he would subconsciously look for the most money-saving ones.

The two people have different ideas and different consumption concepts, which means that there is a generation gap between the two generations as the saying goes.

Sitting in the taxi, Lin Jing habitually recalled what she did on the set.

After this day, she felt that she gained a lot, at least she was more fulfilling than writing novels at home. She just felt busy writing novels at home.

But it’s a pity that she can’t come every day. Today can only be said to be an extracurricular, purely because she gave herself a day off, after all, she still has more important work.

Because she likes filming movies, it is not an urgent task. Maybe she can try again after she pays off her debts, her family’s conditions improve, and she has time.

"What are they doing? Why are there so many people in the village all at once?" After Lin Jing was immersed in her thoughts for a long time, she suddenly heard her younger brother Lin Yan screaming in her ear.

She stopped thinking and looked out the car window, and saw that there were people everywhere in the already narrow streets and alleys, which made people involuntarily think of an idiom - water-lost. The dense crowd had already stuffed the passageway into a mess.

They were in groups of three or five, both men, women, young and old, crowded together, pointing at several public houses not far away.

"What happened." Dad Lin Liwei suddenly said, and was about to push the door and get out of the car.

"Master, I can't get in, so stop here." Lin Jing quickly asked the driver to stop the taxi.

After paying the fare and getting out of the taxi, Lin Yan, who was curious about breaking through the sky, immediately rushed into the crowd like a little leopard.

"Lin Yan, come back."

But he had only run more than ten steps and was immediately called back by Lin Liwei.

"If you don't know anything, you can get involved in it."

"Dad, let's go over and ask first, and see what happened?" Lin Jing was also confused at this time.

"If you give me, everyone will give me a hand, and the ambulance will come out."

With the continuous transmission of sound, the bustling crowd suddenly broke through the waves and separated the road from it.

After a while, six ambulances drove out in the middle of the road, and there was a police car leading the way in front of the ambulance.

"Why did the house collapse suddenly?"

"I heard that more than ten died and fifty or sixty injured."

"It's really a sin to kill and injured so many people."

"Aren't it all those unscrupulous contractors who embezzled the money for building public housing, and their conscience was eaten by dogs."

...

When Lin Jing and the others walked from the entrance of the village to the next to the crowd, they heard the messy crying and scolding coming from the crowd.

"Auntie, we just came back from outside. Can you tell us what happened?" Lin Jing heard some discussion, but she didn't fully understand, and couldn't get in for a while, so she simply found an aunt who was sighing and asked.

"Which building do you live in?" The aunt did not answer Lin Jing's question first, but asked.

"The tenth floor, we live on the seventh floor of the tenth floor." Lin Yan answered first.

"The tenth floor, I don't know if you are lucky or unlucky." The aunt sighed and then continued, "Isn't there a rumor that there was a problem with the public housing in our area? Although everyone was doubting, I don't know if it was true or that those unscrupulous real estate developers wanted to buy land in this area at a low price and deliberately found someone to release the rumors so that we could move out."

"It turns out that they are all true. Just now, the seventh, tenth and fourteenth, I heard that the walls of the seventh column collapsed, and the ceilings of the entire building collapsed, and many people inside were injured and killed. You have also seen that the ambulances were in and out in rows." The aunt pointed and said, "I advise you not to go there. It's almost dark. You should find a hotel or stay at a relative's house for one night before you find a way."

"It turns out that we have a share in the tenth seat." Lin Yan said silently, then screamed, "Oh, wouldn't all the things in the house be smashed?"

"So I don't know if you are lucky or bad, but think about it, you can buy it if the thing is broken, as long as the person is fine." The aunt said earnestly, looking very open-minded.

Lin Jing was stunned by the aunt's words. If her family had not been invited to attend the launch conference of "The Strategy of the Five Blessings Stars", if she had not wanted to experience the shooting process of the Xiangjiang movie on a whim, she would have stayed at home.

It’s hard to say that I have followed the footsteps of those injured neighbors.

Thinking of this, she felt a little scared and felt that everything was coming too suddenly and violently.

But if you think about it carefully, all this is a sign of sign.

The oldest public houses in this area have only been built eleven or twelve years ago, but the appearance is as dilapidated as an old house in the eighties and nineties. The concrete on the surface of the walls is peeled off, the walls are cracked, and even the steel bars inside are exposed in some places.

After the "rumor" came out, everyone was just a little worried, but they held that little luck and didn't really take it seriously because the housing inspection report from the Housing Department did not come out. Even Lin Jing herself thought so. Although she felt that the house was not good and had plans to relocate, the plans were all in a few months.

However, I didn’t expect that before that, the house was soaked in so much rain in recent times. As a result, the disaster occurred just as the rain stopped.

"Dad, Dad, Dad, are you okay?" When Lin Jing thought about everything and woke up, she saw that the father beside her was terrifying and gloomy, and she shouted quickly.

"It's okay." Lin Liwei was silent for a long time and spitted out two words in his mouth, his voice was hoarse.

While he was talking, his eyes were still staring at the public houses. After a while, he turned around and said to Lin Jing and the others: "Don't run away here. I'll go over and find out and see what the situation is."

"The house has collapsed, why are you going to go there? Besides, the police blocked that area and couldn't get through it." The aunt advised kindly.

"Be careful, go and go quickly, and come back quickly, don't let us wait in a hurry." Lin Jing knew that in this situation, no matter who persuaded him, it would be useless. It was impossible for him not to take a look at him, so he had to remind him to be careful and come back quickly.

"Yeah!" Lin Liwei nodded slightly, and without saying much, he squeezed into the crowd.

Although she also wanted to go over and take a look, she still had to take care of Lin Yan and Lin Si, in case they were frightened and walked around and ran to dangerous places.

Lin Yan was aside, but he was a little heartless like many boys of his age. His house collapsed and he murmured whether the basketball was smashed. Lin Si was different. She was several years younger and her ability to bear was different from her brother. At this time, she was like a frightened kitten, holding on to the corner of Lin Jing's clothes tightly, as if she was afraid that her sister would suddenly not want her.

Seeing this, Lin Jing picked her up and gently spoke in her ear to comfort her.
