"Ninety percent of the body area was burned, the lungs were inhaled with a lot of toxic fumes, and the head was hit hard. A male nurse came out of the operating room, handed the slip in his hand to the person who had been guarding outside, and said regretfully, "Confirmed, dead." ”

"Little viagra!" Zhang Wentao snorted in pain and rushed to the operating room.

The nurse at the door hurriedly stopped the person, "I'm sorry, you can't enter the operating room at will, you..." Wait for him to come out. ”

A group of people gathered at the door of the operating room, still wearing fireproof clothing, their faces and hands were black and gray. After listening to the nurse's words, they all bowed their heads and remained silent.

Seeing this, the nurse sighed helplessly, and then said, "On the death certificate, the family member needs to sign it. ”

The local headlines in City B that day were swiped with the same message.

A fire broke out in a warehouse in the suburbs, resulting in 2 deaths and 7 injuries, two of the victims were the current manager of the warehouse where the fire started, and a firefighter who was present at the scene. According to the information obtained by the reporter at the scene, there was a flammable and explosive dangerous goods such as solid oxidant hidden in the warehouse, which led to explosions at the rescue site from time to time, making firefighting work more difficult.

Nearby residents said that they felt the tremors to varying degrees during the period. The exact cause of the accident is still under further investigation.

At that time, Wen Xin was sitting at home, staring at the news picture on the TV, and suffered a cardiac arrest.

There have been countless times when Wen Xin cried because of Li Xiaowei. Every time Li Xiaowei lost contact, she imagined in her mind that Li Xiaowei was on fire all over his body and rushed to the fire, and every time she saw the news of the firefighter's sacrifice, she didn't think about it and thought it was Li Xiaowei, crying and shouting to call to confirm whether he was dead or alive.

But this time, she was timid.

She didn't dare to move, didn't dare to look at her phone, and didn't dare to ask more, she just stared at those live pictures, hoping to find the slightest shadow of Li Xiaowei.

Tomorrow Li Xiaowei will be on vacation, he will definitely come to her, won't he? If she releases her pigeons again, then she will be angry and simply break up. I have been scared for more than a year, and I am about to become neurotic.

After that day, the two really broke up. The breakup text message was lying quietly in Li Xiaowei's mobile phone, but only Wen Xin seemed to remember.

The number of people in the cafeteria increased one after another, Wen Xin nibbled on half a bun, tears and snot flowed, and he didn't notice the strange eyes of the people around him. Seeing this, Qiao Ming hurriedly snatched the bun in her hand, threw a tissue and wiped her tears. But he could only watch her cry silently.

"Don't you have anything to say to him?"

Wen Xin cried for a while, then took a long deep breath a few times, and suppressed the choking in his heart, "I'm sorry." ”

He said, it doesn't matter. ”

"I'm afraid I can't stand it, my heart hurts too much. Wen Xin whimpered.

"It's me who should say I'm sorry. Li Xiaowei sat next to Wen Xin and looked at each other infatuatedly, "It's me who keeps you worried, knowing that you are timid, and you like to think cranky." It's me who is wrong. ”

"I want to go to you, but I'm afraid your mother doesn't like me. Wen Xin explained in a low voice.

"How could my mother not like you, one more person loves his son, and she is too late to be happy. She's most afraid that people will forget about me. ”

"I also sent you a breakup text. After Wen Xin finished speaking, the tears in his eyes couldn't stop flowing.

"I'm gone, you can find someone better to take care of you. ”

Wen Xin listened to Qiao Ming's relay, and cried violently, "But I can't find a better one." ”

Li Xiaowei touched Wen Xin's head, smiled and didn't speak. Gou Rixin watched his soul fade away, and finally became a faint shadow.

Wen Xin didn't hear a reply, buried his face in his hands, and whimpered in a low voice.

Li Xiaowei has only one mother at home, and his father is also a firefighter, who died of lung cancer at an early age. Wen Xin stood under a residential building, hesitating.

"Let's go, Gou Rixin and I will accompany you. Qiao Ming patted her on the shoulder, "Little Viagra's mother must be very happy for you to come." ”

"His mother doesn't like me," Wen Xin said with a bite of her lip, "It's too hypocritical to say I'm too pretentious." ”

"Don't worry, didn't Brother Xiao Wei say it, one more person remembers him, it's too late for Auntie to be happy, let's go. With that, Qiao Ming pulled Wen Xin and went up the stairs firmly.

The door was opened by a middle-aged woman with a slight fat, with delicate makeup on her face, but instead of her lips, her face turned even paler. Seeing Wen Xin and Qiao Ming at the door, he politely squeezed out a smile.

"Hello Auntie, I'm here to see Xiaowei. Wen Xin said softly.

"Come in. Xiaowei's mother opened the door and let the two of them in.

Qiao Ming stepped into the living room, flipped his schoolbag slightly, and Gou Rixin in it swayed, turned over and fell.

The living room of Li Xiaowei's house is spacious and bright, and there is a mourning hall on one side of the living room. On the black-and-white photo, a young and handsome face smiled slightly, but there was also a photo of a middle-aged man with a similar face to Li Xiaowei next to it. Probably Li Xiaowei's father.

On the sacrificial table, candles, incense burners, and some fruits and flowers are placed next to them. In front of Li Xiaowei's photo, there is also a shining badge.

Wen Xin was silent and walked to the front of the mourning hall.

Li Xiaowei's mother stood next to her, took a few sticks of incense and handed them over, and said with some apologies on her face, "My lungs are not good, so I won't order the incense, just get my mind." ”

"Okay, okay. Wen Xin said hurriedly.

Qiao Ming also hurriedly stepped forward to take the incense with both hands and worshiped with Wen Xin. Insert unburned incense into the censer.

The three women sat on the couch, speechless for a moment.

"I'm sorry I didn't come yesterday. Wen Xin nervously picked his hands and whispered.

"It's okay, Auntie understands. There were a lot of people yesterday, so it's just right to come today. Xiaowei must have been very happy too. Li Xiaowei's mother smiled.

"Thank you, Auntie. ”

"Don't be restrained, this year, my aunt owes you a word of thanks. I am usually strict with Xiaowei, which caused him to not like to talk since he was a child, but when I met you, Xiaowei was obviously much more cheerful. ”

Wen Xin was nervous and overwhelmed for a while, and the pain in his heart instantly hit his throat. She opened her mouth to say something, but in the end, her eyes were full of mist, and she bit her lip and couldn't speak.

"Is this your classmate?" Li Xiaowei's mother hurriedly changed the subject.

"Well, I'm Wen Xin's college classmate," Qiao Ming replied, admiring Li Xiaowei's mother for being empathetic.

"Okay, it's good to go to college, Xiaowei just didn't go to college at the beginning, and he had to be a firefighter, so he suffered. You two, you must cherish it. ”

"Well, thank you, Auntie. Qiao Ming answered, "You also need to take care of your health, we will come to see you often." ”

"Hey, what do I have to worry about as an old woman, Xiaowei is usually busy with work, and I'm used to it alone. You don't have to worry about it, it's just..." Xiaowei's mother said that she was choking, and breathed a sigh of relief, and her eyes gradually glowed, "As long as you remember Xiaowei in your heart, you won't be in vain for the sins he suffered." ”

"Everybody will remember it. Qiao Ming hurriedly comforted.

"Don't just sit still, eat something, I'll pour you a glass of water. Li Xiaowei's mother brought a plate of fruit, and after speaking, she got up and went to the kitchen.

"Okay, okay, let's go back and cry again. Qiao Ming put his arm around Wen Xin's shoulders and comforted, "Don't make Auntie cry together." ”

"Hmm. Wen Xin wiped her tears, raised her head and squeezed out a smile.

The kitchen door opened and closed, and Li Xiaowei's mother came out with two glasses of water and placed them on the coffee table. "I don't know what you like to drink, there is only hot water at home. ”

"It's okay, it's okay," Wen Xin said hurriedly, "The hot water is good." ”

Li Xiaowei's mother looked at the two of them with a smile, her eyes were red, probably she had just cried again in the kitchen.

In the air, in addition to the faint scent of sandalwood, there are also faint mixtures of other smells. Qiao Ming frowned slightly and sniffed lightly, feeling that it was like the smell of natural gas emanating from the kitchen! Qiao Ming, who was good at cooking, couldn't be more familiar with this taste.

"Auntie, did you use natural gas for hot water just now?"

"Huh?" Li Xiaowei's mother was puzzled for a moment, "yes." ”

"I seem to smell natural gas, did I forget to turn it off?" Qiao Ming explained.

"Oh, you see I'm so old and confused, it seems that it's okay, I'll go and see. After Li Xiaowei's mother finished speaking, she hurriedly got up and went into the kitchen.

Qiao Ming and Wen Xin glanced at each other, their eyes full of worry.

"Thanks to you," blinking, Li Xiaowei's mother walked out with a smile and closed the kitchen door tightly, "The switch is not turned off, the pipe in our house is a little old, but don't worry, I have already told the property that someone should come to repair it in the afternoon." ”

The two breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled.

"Auntie, this is my phone, you can find me if you have anything in the future. Wen Xin took out a pen and paper, wrote down his mobile phone number and the fixed number at home, and handed it to Li Xiaowei's mother, "I'm waiting for you at any time, you don't have to feel embarrassed." ”

"Okay, good," Li Xiaowei's mother took it with a smile, looked at the handwriting on the paper, and praised again, "The handwriting is so good, Xiaowei met you, it is the greatest blessing in his life." ”

"Don't say that," Wen Xin said hurriedly, "Xiaowei is his greatest blessing to have a mother like you." It is not easy for you to take care of him alone all these years. ”

"Hey, he definitely didn't tell you, where will I take care of people," Li Xiaowei's mother smiled, "When his father left, he was not at ease, but fortunately Xiaowei is self-reliant, and he has been taking care of me as an old woman all these years." ”

Wen Xin bit her lip and didn't know how to answer for a while.

Qiao Ming hurriedly said, "If you are bored in the future, you can find us to chat with you, go shopping or something." We didn't have anything to do on Sunday. ”

"Okay, good, Auntie knows, you are all good boys. Li Xiaowei's mother didn't say much, just Qiao Ming's kind words.

"Let's have a bite to eat. As he spoke, he brought the fruit on the coffee table to the two of them, and watched them take the cut apples and eat them, which was reassuring.

The two sat for a while, and then took their leave. Li Xiaowei's mother kept sending people to the gate of the community, and then turned around and left.

Wen Xin looked at the slightly hunched back, his nose was sour, and his heart was extremely uncomfortable.

"Li Xiaowei is the only child in their family, his father is gone again, and now his aunt is left alone, what should I do?"

"There are so many lonely elderly people in the world, and they always have their own way of life. Don't worry. Qiao Ming comforted Wen Xin, and suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart.

She remembered that she was not alone now, no matter how heart-rending the pain was, she would always get through it. Human beings are creatures that sometimes seem fragile, but sometimes they are also exceptionally strong.

Qiao Ming and Wen Xin took the bus and staggered to the gate of the campus. There is an uncle who sells pancakes and fruits next to him, and he smells of the news every day and meows non-stop.

"You still want to eat pancakes and fruits?" Qiao Ming said speechlessly.

"I'm a human being, and I'm a hungry man. Gou Rixin retorted.

The two of them stood in front of the pancake fruit stand and asked for a copy to be eaten. The uncle who spread the pancakes skillfully took a spoonful of noodles and sprinkled it evenly on the pan, and his other hand probed down to increase the heat slightly.

Qiao Ming stared at the spread out golden skin, smelling the fragrance of the face and the faint smell of gas, and suddenly recalled the mourning hall of Li Xiaowei who had just been worshipped, as well as the smile on her mother's face.

She grabbed Wen Xin's arm and asked uncertainly, "Wen Xin, when we worshiped Li Xiaowei just now, in addition to the photos of Li Xiaowei and his father, did you see an upside-down photo frame next to it?"

"Picture frame?"

"Yes, the white one, with Li Xiaowei's medal on it, so it doesn't look very obvious. ”

"What's wrong?" Wen Xin didn't know.

"Do you think that Li Xiaowei's mother is very strange, Li Xiaowei is dead, but she is dressed and dressed very exquisitely today. ”

"What the hell do you want to say?" Wen Xin was a little startled by Qiao Ming's tone.

"The water that Li Xiaowei's mother brought out to us was warm, not heated by natural gas at all, and the smell in the kitchen was the same. The photos on the mourning hall should be three, like a family photo. Qiao Ming pulled Wen Xin and ran back, "We have to go back and see, understand?"

"You mean..." Wen Xin's heart jerked.

The two of them stood on the side of the road and frantically stopped the car, but at this time, the taxis on the road seemed to be against them, and they sped by without stopping. Wen Xin took out his mobile phone in a hurry and began to make calls.

"Don't call the family, just in case... If it's true, it will cause an explosion. Qiao Ming said hurriedly.

Wen Xin was about to cry, "Should I call the police first?"

"Do you have a phone number for their community property?"

"Nope. ”

"You are like this, call Li Xiaowei's colleagues, aren't they firefighters, and ask them to go over and have a look as soon as possible. Do you have contact information?"

"Yes, there is one. Wen Xin said tremblingly.

"Fight, let him find a way, bring a few more people, bring more things that can be used. ”

"I'm going to fight. Wen Xin forcibly suppressed his panic, found a phone number and dialed it. A busy sound sounded, but it seemed to tear her flesh and blood, and the pain was unbearable.

"Wen Xin?" a male voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Zhang Wentao, do you know Li Xiaowei's home?" Wen Xin asked eagerly.

"Just been there yesterday. ”

"Get in the car!" Qiao Ming, who finally stopped the car, pulled Wen Xin and ran, and Gou Rixin in the upturned schoolbag was hit on the head by a ball of books, screaming in pain.

"Why don't you answer the phone!" Wen Xin, who was blocked at the red light, anxiously dialed another phone, but there was always a busy sound over there.

"Don't worry, if it's a gas suicide, nothing will happen in such a short period of time. Qiao Ming comforted. As soon as the words fell, Wen Xin's mobile phone rang.

"How's it going!"

"I was still on the road, the property went to knock on the door, and no one opened the door at home. ”

"Knock on the door, pick the lock!" Wen Xin roared.

“… They have already been told. ”

Wen Xin's eyes turned red when he heard this, and he hung up the phone and cried silently. Qiao Ming held the person in his arms, and his heart was also uncomfortable.

When the two of them ran downstairs to Li Xiaowei's house, they happened to see Zhang Wentao running out of the elevator with Li Xiaowei's mother on his back, and put people into the car in a panic, and two young men followed closely and got into the car.

Wen Xin hurried over, only to see the unconscious person lying in the car, wearing a dark green skirt, the makeup on his face was delicate and elegant, and he looked like he was asleep.
