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."
