Chapter 1: Encounter
Your retrograde, I am always waiting on the way home. - "Flame Like You"
Outside the window, a light rain was falling, and the whole city was surrounded by a hazy vapor.
At 9 o'clock in the evening, the room was stuffy and tight, Si Wei tossed and turned over and over and couldn't sleep steadily, and he could only get out of bed for a long time to find the remote control of the air conditioner to adjust the temperature, and the alarm clock rang at the right time, and it was turned off in a blink of an eye.
I was sweating and uncomfortable, so Siwei went to take a shower again, and when he came out again, there was a new message on WeChat.
Vice President of Reading Culture: Your work experience is indeed very rich, and our boss has also read your resume, in addition, we also want to know about some of the manuscripts completed by you, and then decide whether you are qualified for the position of deputy editor-in-chief of the company.
Si Wei stopped wiping his head and replied "Okay".
Half a month ago, in order to return to Sichuan County to worship, the job was also lost, before leaving she participated in an interview with a company, there were some twists and turns, to today is a good letter.
A few minutes later, a certain software prompted travel, and Siwei took off the room card and went out.
Even if it is not a holiday, there are many people coming and going at the train station, and there are less than 10 minutes left before the check-in time after entering the station.
The train arrived on time in the middle of the night, and the lights shone through the curtains into the sleeper car, and through the dim light, Siwei found his place.
The men and women who had been lying on it were now packing up and soon went to other carriages.
Si Wei looked at the crumpled shop helplessly, and the quilt was very eye-catching.
She was already thin, so for convenience, she put the suitcase horizontally under the bed, moved the quilt to her feet, and then lay down.
The train started slowly, and after a day's sleep, Si Wei no longer felt sleepy, so he simply began to edit the manuscript, and the topic was selected as a recent hot news.
The rain lasted for a long time, stopped in the early hours of the morning, and soon came with a boom.
The man next to him, who had been facing the wall of the carriage, rolled over, as if a muffled sound came from his throat, and then the subtle sound came out intermittently.
Si Wei subconsciously turned his head sideways, the man's face was hidden in the darkness, but he could still tell that he was uncomfortable at the moment, and his right hand was still reaching down and clasping his calf tightly.
It seems to be cramping, but it seems to be more serious than this, perhaps because of too much restraint, the green tendons under the neck are beating.
Si Wei had never seen someone with such strong inhibition power, and he was distracted for a while......
The other party opened his eyes without warning, as if he had woken up from his sleep, and his eyes were like a little beast that was forbearant and defensive.
Before Siwei could come back to his senses, he noticed that those dark eyes were looking at him.
She was not used to looking at others, and after a moment of reaction, she quickly typed a few words on the mobile phone sticky notes, and turned the screen to him: Are you okay?
Seeing that he didn't react, Swei pointed to his calf again, and although her expression was cold and calm, there was concern in her eyes.
The man's face softened, he took Si Wei's mobile phone and typed a line of words right below: Thank you, I'm fine.
When the phone was returned to his hand, the other party had turned his back and no longer moved, except for the hand attached to his calf.
Si Wei watched for a few seconds, realized that it was not early, and lay down to sleep.
At 4 a.m., the rain subsided, and a sultry sensation spread in the carriage.
The man with his back to Siwei moved, and took out his mobile phone from under him, and the breathing light flashed on it: Regarding your return to the team, the above replied.
The light of the mobile phone screen hit Song Ju'an's face, and after reading the information, the lines at the corners of his face also tightened, showing more fortitude.
After staring at the message for a while, he almost immediately turned over and put on his shoes, and when he got up, he habitually buttoned the top two buttons of his shirt.
At this time, the train passed by the light beam next to the tracks, Song Ju'an had already straightened his collar, and when he was about to walk to another carriage, he couldn't help but turn his head, and as far as his eyes could see, Si Wei, who was sleeping on his side, only vaguely showed half of his side face.
The carriage was silent, but Song Ju'an's heart was beating so much for some reason, and even those long-term memories appeared in his mind without warning.
He frowned, closed his eyes as if restrained, and turned away.
——
The train arrived at the station in Shencheng, it was 7 o'clock in the evening, it was raining here, Song Ju'an and Zheng Zhi just got out of the station, and they saw two people on the side of the road not far away waving to them.
"You notified me?" Song Ju'an pretended to be serious.
"Hmm......" Zheng Zhi deliberately lengthened the tail note, undeniable, "The news of your return to the team is estimated to have spread all over the team yesterday." ”
Song Ju'an looked at the two people who were trotting towards this side, and said with a smile: "That's leaving the team without permission." ”
The person next to him shrugged as if to say, "I don't know."
It was Zheng Yan who ran over first, but he didn't say hello to his own brother when he opened his mouth, "Captain, why haven't you contacted us this month, and you thought you were going to retire from the army." ”
Hou Guang next to him echoed, "Yes, captain, if you go, the training atmosphere in the team is not good." ”
"So Captain, don't run away without a sound. ”
Song Ju'an watched them sing and harmonize, with a light smile on his face, but the words he said were depressing: "It seems that you also think it's good to practice like before." ”
"Alas, it's not ......" The two denied in unison, only to see that Song Ju'an had already walked to the car.
Zheng Yan stretched his neck and cried out in his heart, and then he was hit by the bag that was suddenly thrown, and he turned his gaze to the owner of the bag in amazement.
"Brother?"
Zheng Zhi raised his eyebrows, "Don't be poor, hurry up and drive, there is something to do when you return to the team." ”
Soon the four of them got into the car and sat down, and Zheng Yan drove straight to the fire squadron camp.
As the car drove by, the side of the road stopped and searched for the target license plate number in his field of vision.
Song Ju'an leaned against the window and closed his eyes in that flash......
About half an hour later, the car stopped outside the Nancheng District Fire Squadron, and there were not many people coming and going on this street.
At this time, it was getting dark, and Song Ju'an looked through the car window and through the fence to see the playground and accommodation building that he was all too familiar with.
After getting out of the car, several people came to the telescopic door, and the doorman came out and stood upright on his feet.
——
When Si Wei returned to the house he rented, it was not early, and he ordered takeout and began to clean up the home that had not been occupied for more than half a month.
After the rain, the breeze swept into the house with a moist smell.
Si Wei leaned against the window, closing his eyes and thinking about the manuscript to be prepared next.
Tonight was inevitably overtime, and it was already past 11 o'clock when the document was sent to the vice president, and she didn't have time to turn off the computer, so she fell asleep.
In the last few days, it has been a sleepless night......
It was as if the world had been turned upside down.
Si Wei opened his eyes in a trance, but his whole body couldn't move, his back was pierced by the broken glass, the scene in front of him changed from blurry to clear, and he was firmly held in his arms by his father, everything returned to the age of 11.
I could vaguely hear that someone among the onlookers had called the police, the car was turned upside down, and the driver of the truck that caused the accident was pacing back and forth at the scene, which was a car accident.
At first, she stared blankly at her father, who was stained with blood, and then reached out and tugged at the corner of his clothes, calling one after another, with caution.
For a long time, her father did not react, only the wounds on her head were bleeding outward, and some fell on her forehead, coupled with fear, she choked uncontrollably and burst into tears in an instant.
The back of the head hit the ground, and even small glass shards pierced in, accompanied by every cry that affected the pain nerves of the whole body......
When the siren sounded in his ears, Siwei's consciousness had gradually dissipated, and the last thing that flashed in his helpless eyes was the appearance of his father slowly opening his eyes.
Gradually, she lost her strength and fell into a coma.
The leaked gasoline ignited a fire on the ground, heralding something even more terrible.
"Weiwei, don't complain about Dad'......"
"Save my daughter first!"
Rumble!
Si Wei opened her eyes and got up, her eyes were dazed, and what lingered in her ears was the loud sound of the explosion and the "festival mourning" that almost crushed her.
——
On the night of returning to the team, Song Ju'an did not rest, and after talking to the instructor, he has been training in the playground.
On summer nights in the south, the temperature is still not low.
Push-ups, sit-ups, obstacle running, and prostrate almost did not fall to the ground, and after a set, Song Ju'an sweated.
He let out a sigh of satisfaction, and finally turned around and walked towards the dormitory building, smiling a little more in those dark eyes.
There were few people in the bathhouse at this point, Song Ju'an washed away the smell of sweat, changed into clean clothes, picked up the washbasin on the ground and turned his head to leave.
After two steps, he turned back and walked straight to a mirror, standing at an angle that clearly reflected the scar on his neck, neither deep nor shallow.
This scar is very strange, and after following him for more than ten years, Song Ju'an can't help but recall its origin.
......
"Doctor, how is she doing?" asked a female police officer at the door of the ward.
The doctor sighed, "The injuries on her body are not serious, but the injured person was injured on the head when she was brought in, and we examined her, although there are no results yet, but it is very likely that there will be sequelae." ”
11-year-old Song Ju'an only heard these words, so he would come to the hospital every day to secretly watch the little girl, seeing that she could get out of bed and eat, but he didn't talk to anyone.
On the fifth day of the car accident, when Song Ju'an wanted to walk into the ward and express his gratitude in person, he saw a little girl walking out barefoot, he subconsciously followed, and finally stopped at the nearest staircase.
The scene in front of him happened almost instantly, when the little girl's body showed signs of tilting, Song Ju'an instinctively rushed up and hugged her and retreated, stumbling under her feet, and the two fell to the ground together.
Song Ju'an, who was still a child, fell and hurt, but his arms hugged him tightly, on the other hand, the little girl didn't know where the strength came from, so she grabbed him with her backhand.
"Ah!" a scream, Song Ju'an immediately withdrew his hand and touched his neck.
This time, no one stopped her, and the little girl got up again and walked to the top of the stairs.
"I saw it all that day. Song Ju Anxin said out by luck, and said like a little adult: "Thank you very much for your father for saving many people, including me and my mother, listen to the police Uncle Cha said that the truck was out of control, if it wasn't for your father, we would all die." ”
"He must want you to live happily, that's why he asked the rescue uncles to save you first. ”
......
Thinking of this, unconsciously Song Ju'an had already arrived at the door of the dormitory, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw Zheng Zhi pouring water to drink.
"It's so late, why don't you hurry up and go to bed?" Song Ju'an put down the basin and asked.
"Are we here for the first day?"
One sentence caused the two to be silent, whether it was to rest on time or perform a mission in the middle of the night, the latter was often the only option for firefighters.
There's a saying about pinning your head to your belt, and they don't, because it's never a tragedy that anyone is careful enough to be careful when they go out of the fire.
Even if you happen to hear someone say what kind of "high-risk occupation" you are engaged in, you have to tell yourself that "I will come back retrograde", not because every firefighter has been trained, but because it is a tranquilizer for yourself.
Song Ju'an got up and patted Zheng Zhi on the shoulder, lay back on the bed and didn't answer again.
——
I didn't sleep well that night, but the next day Siwei got up early in the morning.
With a recent plan to create her own work in private, she contacted her father's best friend, who was also an instructor in the Nancheng District Fire Service Squadron.
Today was the appointed day, and Siwei arrived outside the camp, and just as he was about to explain to the guard, someone came out of it.
Habitually in the dark, Si Wei rubbed the sketchbook with his thumb, and as the man got closer and closer, he was sure that he was someone he had never met.
Stopping the small movements at hand, she exhaled softly.
"May I ask you are Si Wei, Miss Si, right?"
Zheng Yan was called from the training ground halfway, and he was sweating profusely all the way, but he still paid attention to his demeanor when he spoke, and every word was not ambiguous.
Si Wei bowed, "May I ask who you are?"
"My name is Zheng Yan, and the instructor was sent to other districts for training, and I was arranged to take you to meet our captain. ”
