Chapter 85 The Silkworm House is on Fire
In the night sky, a burst of fire suddenly rose above Hongxing Village, as if a meteor had streaked across the night sky and ignited the entire silk production base.
"Hurry up and put out the fire, the silkworm house is on fire!" The news of the fire in the silkworm house spread like wildfire.
The originally quiet little village was soon broken by screams, and the sleeping village was awakened.
Lu Xingchen and Su Qing were immersed in a sweet dream when they were suddenly awakened by a hurried knock on the door.
Su Qing sat up suddenly, a hint of nervousness in her sleepy eyes.
Lu Xingchen quickly put on his clothes and opened the door, only to see Su Hang and Lin Yuetong standing outside with anxious looks on their faces.
"Xingchen, it's bad! The silk production base is on fire!" Su Hang's voice trembled slightly.
Lu Xingchen's heart sank suddenly. Without thinking too much, he rushed out the door immediately.
Su Qing followed closely behind, her heart filled with uneasiness, as if an invisible hand was tightly grasping her heart.
When they arrived at the scene, flames were blazing and thick smoke was billowing.
The flames were like a raging dragon, devouring everything.
Lu Xingchen rushed towards the fire without hesitation, and Su Qing followed closely behind him.
The temperature in the fire was so hot that it seemed to singe people's skin.
Lu Xingchen and Su Qing seemed to be in purgatory, their faces were covered with soot, but their eyes became more determined.
They covered their mouths and noses with wet towels and rushed into the fire again and again, trying to put out the fire.
Just then, a familiar figure appeared in their sight.
Ye Lingshuang, she actually appeared in the fire scene, with a cunning light flashing in her eyes. Su Qing even saw an evil smile on the corner of her mouth.
"Lu Xingchen, Su Qing, are you guys joining this game too?" Ye Lingshuang's voice was full of sarcasm.
There was a flash of anger in Lu Xingchen's eyes, but he quickly suppressed his emotions.
He knew that now was not the time to get entangled with Ye Lingshuang.
He turned to Su Qing, looked at her deeply, and then continued to rush towards the fire.
The fire demon seemed to be enraged, roaring and raging.
But Lu Xingchen and Su Qing were like a pair of indomitable warriors. They used their courage and persistence to engage in a fierce battle with the fire demon.
The villagers used buckets and any containers that could hold water to bring water from all directions to put out the fire. Some people even took over a large water pipe from a nearby resident's house.
As time passed, the temperature in the fire became higher and higher.
Flames shot up into the sky and villagers rushed over upon hearing the news. The pots, pans, and plates in their hands were like flags on the battlefield, and they hurried back and forth carrying water.
"Quick, quick! We can't let the fire spread to the warehouse!" The village chief waved his arms and gave orders at the top of his voice.
The chaotic scene was like water boiling in a pot. The villagers worked together to put out the flames, and water splashed everywhere, reflecting their anxious faces.
The silkworm house had been reduced to scorched earth, with flames licking the edge of the warehouse like a ferocious beast trying to devour everything.
Lu Xingchen and Su Qing's clothes had been singed, and their skin was painful from the flames.
But they still persisted, because they knew that only by defeating the fire demon could they protect the future of Red Star Village.
After the joint efforts of the whole village, the fire was finally brought under control.
Lu Xingchen and Su Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief, they knew that the battle was about to end.
The fire demon was eventually subdued, and the damage to the silk production base was controlled.
At this time, the fire was finally brought under control. The fire in the finished product warehouse was put out, but the losses were irreversible.
Although the fire brought them huge losses, it was not just a disaster, but also a turning point in the future destiny of Hongxing Village.
Su Qing stood at the edge of the fire, worry glittering in her eyes.
Lu Xingchen and Su Qing were so tired that they could hardly stand, but they felt an unprecedented sense of accomplishment.
They snuggled up to each other, watching the busy figures of the villagers, their hearts filled with gratitude.
They decided to rebuild the silk production base more completely and strive for the future of Hongxing Village.
Their feelings grew deeper as they worked together, as if they were two stars leaning against each other, illuminating the night sky of Red Star Village together.
The test of the fire demon made them more mature and more determined.
In the following days, Lu Xingchen and Su Qing devoted themselves to the reconstruction work.
During the reconstruction of the silk production base, Su Qing continuously optimized the design plan and introduced new technologies and management models.
They are busy on the construction site during the day and work on new development plans at night.
Since the fire, her relationship with Lu Xingchen has become closer.
They prepare new projects together, face challenges together, eat noodles together under the stars at night, and share their thoughts with each other.
Lu Xingchen's introverted personality and his alienation from his original family make him seem even more mysterious.
Su Qing knew that he had many secrets hidden deep in his heart, and she was willing to be the one to uncover these secrets.
They were still studying post-disaster reconstruction. At the same time, after Ye Lingshuang was taken away, Lu Wannian went there to look for his daughter-in-law, which gave Su Qing a headache.
However, Su Qing was troubled by more than just these three things.
That night, when Su Qing dragged her tired body back home, Lu Xingchen unexpectedly brought her a piece of news that she didn't want to hear.
"There is something I want to discuss with you." When Lu Xingchen saw her coming back, he slowly approached her and finally spoke, "In two days, I will go back to my original unit to work. I want my dad to stay. Can you help me take care of him?"
"You, why are you so anxious to return to the unit?" Su Qing opened her eyes wide, with curiosity and confusion flashing in her eyes.
Lu Xingchen was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "There are some things that I must solve personally."
Su Qing felt uneasy. Last time, he would rather miss the chance to be promoted and stay to help her. This time, maybe his former unit encountered some emergency.
Su Qing could only comfort herself in this way.
Otherwise, what else can we do?
The post-disaster reconstruction is slowly underway. At the same time, the night school review is in full swing under the guidance of teacher Di Jie.
But Su Qing's mind could not concentrate, and Lu Xingchen's figure always appeared in front of her eyes.
Lu Xingchen is going back to his original unit to work.
This news was like a bolt from the blue, and Su Qing's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.
On the night of bidding farewell to Lu Xingchen, Su Qing dressed herself up carefully, and even used red paper to paint her lips red.
Su Qing looked up at him, with complex emotions flashing in her eyes: "Don't worry, I will miss you."
Lu Xingchen gently held her hand, and the warmth came from his palm: "I will miss you too, little silkworm."
They looked at each other, with reluctance and unwillingness in their eyes.
