Suo Qingjun Chapter 58

Accident happens

While cleaning up the mess, Xu Baiyan was thinking about the whipped cream in the refrigerator, turned around and rushed to the kitchen.Before he could wipe off the strawberry stains under his feet, the sole of his foot slipped and he threw himself forward, hitting the open cupboard door hard with his elbow.

There was a muffled “bang” sound, and the freshly opened bottle of high-strength liquor in the cupboard fell.

The glass wine bottle fell to the tile floor and broke into pieces in an instant. The wine splashed everywhere, and a few drops even splashed on the gas stove burner next to it.What’s even worse is that Xu Baiyan went to hold the cupboard door in panic and took away the oil-soaked rag next to it – when frying strawberry tempura just now, the rag absorbed a lot of hot oil, and the stove fire was not completely turned off at all, but was only turned to the lowest setting.

When the sound of “Zizzi” sounded, no one reacted.

The moment the wine met the fire, a ball of open flame burst out. The flames licked the oil-soaked rag and spread to the wooden cabinet next to it in an instant.The scorching air waves and the choking oil smoke hit his face. Song Xu’s pupils shrank suddenly. He was the first to rush over, pull away Xu Baiyan who was still stunned, and pulled off the heat-insulating mat next to the stove to cover the flames.

But the wine evaporated quickly, and the fire broke out more fiercely than expected. A hole was burned as soon as the insulation pad was put on it.Scattered sparks splashed onto the curtains, which instantly ignited an open flame. The tongues of flames crawled up the fabric, and in a blink of an eye they burned out into flames half a foot high.

“Fire extinguisher! There is a fire extinguisher at the entrance!” Qing Feng’an shouted in a voiceless voice. Just as he was about to rush forward, he was grabbed by Jin Xianling.

At this moment, the range hood filter above the cabinet was caught by the flames because of the thick oil accumulation. It fell down with a clang, and the hot metal filter hit Song Xu who was closest to the stove.Xu Baiyan was right behind Song Xu, and he was about to be hit. Song Xu didn’t even think about it, and pushed Xu Baiyan out hard with his backhand, but he had no time to dodge——

There was a muffled “thud” sound, and the hot filter hit his back hard. Sparks splashed on his arm, instantly causing a scalding blister.What’s even worse is that the fallen filter knocked over the oil pot next to him, spilling the entire pot of hot oil, most of it onto his back.

“Song Xu!” Xu Baiyan’s scream pierced the chaos.

Jin Xianling’s eyes were red, and she pinned Qing Feng’an behind her, picked up the wet quilt next to her, and covered the fire source.Qing Feng’an was protected in her arms, but she stared in the direction of Song Xu. She saw that the clothes on his back were instantly soaked with hot oil, his face turned pale, and his lips were trembling.

The flames were finally extinguished by the wet quilt, and choking smoke filled the air.

Song Xu was half-kneeling on the ground, and the burning pain in his back was like countless needles pricking him. The pain made his eyes black, and his clothes were instantly soaked in cold sweat.He gritted his teeth and refused to hum. He just raised his hand to support the stove and tried to stand up.

“Song Xu! How are you?” Xu Baiyan rolled over and saw the blood mixed with oil stains on his back, and his tears instantly burst into tears, “It’s all my fault… It’s all my fault…”

He wanted to touch Song Xu’s wound, but was afraid of hurting him, so his hand hung in the air, shaking badly.

Jin Xianling settled Qing Feng’an, walked over quickly, and checked Song Xu’s injuries with a stern face.The skin on the back was red, swollen and blistered in large areas, and even ulcerated in some places. The blisters on the arms were also broken, which made people feel nervous.”You can’t touch the water, and you can’t delay.” Jin Xianling’s voice was tight, “I’ll drive and take him to the hospital now.”

Qing Feng’an suppressed the fear in her heart, quickly went to get the medical kit, and took out the burn ointment and sterile gauze.His hands were also shaking, but he still tried his best to move as steadily as he could, gently treating the wounds on Song Xu’s arms, with an imperceptible tremor in his voice: “Be patient, we’ll be at the hospital soon.”

Song Xu’s forehead veins bulged in pain, but he still raised his eyes to look at Xu Baiyan, who was crying heartbrokenly. With a hoarse voice, he squeezed out: “Why are you crying…I’m fine…”

Xu Baiyan cried even harder, clutching his uninjured hand so hard that his knuckles turned white: “I will never be careless again…Song Xu, don’t worry…”

Jin Xianling had already driven the car over and stopped at the door.He and Qing Feng’an carefully helped Song Xu stand up. Song Xu groaned in pain, and the cold sweat on his forehead dripped onto the ground, leaving a small wet mark.

On the way to the hospital, the car was completely silent, except for Xu Baiyan’s suppressed sobs.

Song Xu leaned back on the chair, his consciousness a little blurry, but he still raised his hand and gently patted the back of Xu Baiyan’s hand.The force was very light, but it had a reassuring power.

Qing Feng sat in the back seat, looking at Song Xu’s pale profile, and then at Jin Xianling’s hand that was holding the steering wheel tightly – his knuckles were white, and his eyes were full of fear.

What was supposed to be a sweet afternoon turned into a life-threatening accident.

The sun shone in through the car window, but it couldn’t warm the heaviness inside the car.Some costs can never be compensated by just “I’m sorry”, but those subconscious protections at the critical moment of life and death are worth more than any sweet words.
