Chapter 40: The Past

Ye Yan drove Wuling Hongguang on the highway, and no matter how fast his car was, he couldn't surpass time, and time was still like a white horse, moving forward slowly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

If you want to experience the customs and customs, you don't necessarily have to go to every city or village. Sometimes, just following a certain highway and moving forward, you can still see the various states of life.

Sometimes, each of us is blinded by life, struggling in this red dust, for life. If you can extract a fragment of a certain day and look at the scenery along the way, you may have a different perception of life.

Spring. Since the reform and opening up, with the relaxation of restrictions on the movement of people, more and more people choose to leave their hometowns to work and study. Many people gathered to return to their hometowns during the Spring Festival, forming a Spring Festival transportation that can be called "a rare population movement in the world".

So on the highway, you will see a lot of returnees, and Ye Yan is also one of them.

Along the way, wearing the stars and the moon, Wuling Hongguang turned into a dazzling streamer, like a meteor across the sky, disappearing in front of everyone's eyes.

On the way home, it took Ye Yan about thirty hours to finally arrive, that is, at four o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, he arrived in Yinshan City.

Surrounded by rolling mountains, a Longwu River meanders through it, rolling towards the lower places, dividing the entire city of Yinshan in two. The entire city of Silver Fir can also be said to be a shining pearl embedded in the northern mountain range.

Compared with the developed cities along the coast, the development of Yinshan City is relatively backward, but it also ranks 10th in the province's prefecture-level listings.

Ye Yan stopped the car, stood by the river, looked at the water flowing eastward, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

On the other side of the bank are rows of tall buildings, and the prices are not cheap.

After a long absence, Ye Yan finally came back, he sighed and continued to drive, his destination was in the city further north.

Tucheng is said to be the place where the ancient Nanyue warrior king was found.

……

Ye Yan drove to Tucheng, where a pile of ruins still lay quietly in a corner of the city, the remains of a fire four years ago, which seemed to be preserved by the government.

Maybe in the near future, someone will clean up this ruin and build another high-rise building, but Ye Yan will still remember that his beloved sister once lay here, that unusually smart, but very stupid sister.

Ye Yan sat on a stone brick, he looked at it, his eyes were full of devastation, at this time, there were almost no pedestrians passing around, only the sound of the fierce wind echoed, through the gaps between the ruins, and it seemed that countless people were wailing.

"Woo ......"

A gust of wind blew away the dust of time, and Ye Yan's memories poured out like a tide.

Going back in time, the scene from four years ago was repeated in Ye Yan's mind again.

It was an early evening, and it was dark and the wind was blowing.

The Longwu River flows endlessly through Tuocheng, and the wind blows the trees along the shore, making a "rustling" sound.

The streets were full of people coming and going, a quiet and peaceful appearance, but no one would have thought that not long after, something happened that made the entire Tuocheng boil.

Ye Yan and his sister live in a residential building, according to history, there have been many years, and there is no monitoring installed near this residential building, this kind of residential building is relatively common in a small city like Tuocheng.

Ye Yan was on vacation, and she had already returned to Tuocheng, and she was going home this evening, and her sister also went home early from work. Originally, my sister could have a better job, and with her qualifications, she could easily mix a high-paying job, and she didn't have to live in this small city at all.

And my sister just smiled, her eyebrows were picturesque, and said to Ye Yan: "Because I'm afraid that you won't find me, I'm afraid that you won't find me in other places...... Only here, no matter where you are, you can find me as soon as possible. ”

It was probably on such a breezy evening that the residential building suddenly caught fire and exploded, and the fire quickly spread to other places, like a domino effect, triggering a chain reaction, and the entire residential building was quickly engulfed in flames.

By the time Ye Yan arrived at the residential building, the fire had already been cut off from the partition, and my sister was in a position on the sixth floor, and the fire had already spread.

Ye Yan looked at the residential building on fire in a daze, and his eyes reflected this scene like the end of the world, the fire burned wantonly, and the flames rose to the sky, illuminating half of the night sky. The crackling sound of the flames burning, the smoke billowed and the trees poured down.

"Bang bang bang!"

The sound of explosions was incessant, debris was splashed out, flames were scattered from the sky, countless people wailed in the flames, and many passers-by gathered across the street, some calling the fire alarm, some trying to catch the people upstairs who wanted to jump to escape.

"Sister!!"

Ye Yan let out a roar like a desperate beast, but the voice seemed insignificant under the roaring flames, as humble as an ant.

But no one responded to him, the location on the sixth floor was already full of smoke, and a tongue of fire poked out of the window, revealing its hideous fangs to Ye Yan, many people had already died under its fangs!

Some of the residents living on the lower floors had already run out, disgraced and with some burn marks, and a man with a large bag rushed out, looking back at the building like a blooming fire lotus, with a crazy face, but with a hint of fear and despair in his pupils, as if he was sad that his home no longer existed, but it was not.

The man was holding a package under his armpit, his face was a little strangely flushed, Ye Yan glanced at him, the man was suddenly startled, his pupils widened, as if he wanted to rub Ye Yan down, only in a short period of time, he plunged into the crowd and disappeared.

Ye Yan couldn't pay attention to this person who behaved abnormally, he quickly took out the phone and dialed his sister's number, as time passed, Ye Yan's heart sank to the bottom, and no one answered.

Maybe...... It's just that my sister fled in a hurry and didn't have time to bring her mobile phone. That's right! The matter is still inconclusive, and there is hope!

Ye Yan gritted his steel teeth, he must not look at it like this, inside is his sister, his beloved relatives!

Ye Yan clenched his fists, stepped out with an arrow step, and wanted to run towards the burning residential building.

But there was a huge force behind him, and a middle-aged uncle in a police uniform dragged him to death, and shouted: "Young man, don't be impulsive, you are only looking for death if you go in like this!"

Ye Yan turned his head suddenly, his eyes were split, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Let go of me, it's my sister inside, my only relative!"

The middle-aged policeman was stunned for a moment, he looked at Ye Yan and sighed, but he never let go: "Child, I know your feelings, but look at the middle floor now has been engulfed in flames, unless your sister is on the first or second floor, you will be sent to death if you go, and you can't go up at all." ”

Ye Yan struggled not to move, he bit his lip, his eyes were red, and his green face was full of pleading: "Uncle please, let me go, let me go to my sister." ”

The middle-aged policeman's heart trembled, gritted his teeth, and said horizontally: "No, you can't joke with your life, the firefighters are coming, and they will find a way when the time comes." ”

Ye Yan sat on the ground dejectedly, how could he break free from a well-trained policeman?

He stared upstairs blankly, his eyes glazed over. Indeed, the middle part has been engulfed in flames, and it can only force people to keep going up, and now he can't get through to his sister's phone, and he can't go up......
