Chapter 505: A fire in a shopping mall, life hangs by a thread
;
Chu Ci took a step closer to him, facing the tombstone and preparing to put the white chrysanthemum in front, but because of her inconvenience, it was difficult for her to bend down, Sheng Xuan took the flower in her hand, he looked at Chu Ci and said, "You are not in good health, I'll come!"
After speaking, he slowly placed the flower in front of Chu Tianhua's tombstone.
Today is Chu Tianhua's death day, and Chu Ci will still come even if his body is inconvenient, but what he didn't expect was that Sheng Xuan was going to be here, and he happened to meet it so coincidentally.
Chu Ci stood quietly in front of the tombstone, looked at Chu Tianhua, and said silently in his heart: "Dad, you are going to be a grandfather again, you must be a cute little girl at this time." ”
The cool breeze blew through the cold rain, and the surroundings were quiet, and Chu Ci's eyes were a little red.
Sheng Xuan looked at Chu Ci's bulging lower abdomen and asked, "How many months?"
"More than eight months, due at the end of next month. ”
Sheng Xuan nodded, his eyes were a little wandering and he didn't know what to remember, he turned his face slightly: "Congratulations, you're going to be a mother again." ”
Chu Ci smiled: "Thank you." ”
After saying this, Sheng Xuan didn't know how to speak, the two of them had been in a strange and even hostile state for the past two years, and now that they met, Sheng Xuan had a lot of words brewing in his heart, but when he came, he found that he couldn't say a word.
Chu Ci turned his face sideways and asked him, "Are you back from the southwest?"
"Well, it's been three months since I came back. ”
He came back after the Dragon Boat Festival in June, and he originally wanted to rest for a while and then go back, but the old lady didn't really want him to go so far, plus Shengshi Group still had an annual meeting, so it was delayed until now.
"You seem to have lost a lot of weight. ”
Sheng Xuan touched his cheek and smiled: "It's better now, when I first came back, I was dark and thin, just like Kenyan absenteeism smuggled back from Africa." ”
Chu Ci held the corners of his lips and looked very gentle.
She suddenly thought of another thing, something about Lin Xi, but she didn't dare to speak easily, some words rolled on the tip of her tongue a few times and finally swallowed back.
The two of them stood silently, Chu Ci was a little tired, and she exhaled: "Dad, I'll go back first." ”
Her legs were a little tired and she couldn't stand.
Sheng Xuan hurriedly said, "I'll send you?"
Chu Ci shook his head: "No need, the driver is waiting for me over there." ”
Sheng Xuan was not reluctant, "Okay!"
Chu Ci took a deep look at him, and finally had nothing to say, and turned to leave.
When he returned to the car, Sheng Xuan hadn't left yet, and he was standing alone in front of the tombstone, his long figure looking a little lonely.
Chu Ci sat quietly for a while before saying, "Go to Shin Kong World, I'll go buy something." ”
…………
The rain has a tendency to get heavier and heavier, Sheng Xuan stood in front of the tombstone, holding an umbrella, a black windbreaker looked particularly cold, he looked at the name on the tombstone, and finally, slowly spoke: "Dad, do you think she will forgive me?"
This she may be Chu Ci, or maybe Lin Xi.
He was sorry for both of them.
He has lived for more than 20 years and has been spoiled for more than 20 years, so his personality is also self-centered, and he never takes into account the feelings of others, and he has hurt these two people.
It's just that these two people are the deepest pain in his heart, and the most difficult regret to speak.
Chu Ci's car was driving in front, and Sheng Xuan drove the car behind her and slowly followed, maintaining a distance, looking very cautious.
In the end, the driver stopped at Shin Kong Tiandi, Chu Ci wanted to go to the mall to buy some dishes, and there was another person in the house, so she had to go and buy dishes for children herself.
The dishes were on the first floor, Chu Ci asked the driver to wait outside, she was going to buy it and go back, but she didn't know what's wrong, she went to the infant center on the fifth floor again, the children's clothes were very cute, Chu Ci was dazzled, and the shopping guide next to her was still introducing her.
Just when Chu Ci was about to buy it, I don't know who shouted around: "The third floor is on fire, everyone take the elevator and go." ”
Chu Ci's brain boomed, and he hurriedly grabbed the shopping guide beside him: "What's wrong?"
At this moment, the customers on the whole floor are crowding towards the elevator, Chu Ci is inconvenient, she is sitting in the store and calling the driver: "Xiao Zhao, can you go up to the fifth floor to pick me up, I am in the infant center, there seems to be something wrong here, is it on fire." ”
Xiao Zhao parked the car and saw smoke coming out of the third floor of the mall, he didn't think about it, so he wanted to rush in directly, but as soon as he arrived at the door, he was blocked by the security guard: "I can't go in, it's on fire inside, and I can't go in now!"
Xiao Zhao was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and he continued to keep talking to Chu Ci: "Madam, don't worry, don't squeeze the elevator, go up the stairs, and I'll find a way to come up." ”
Chu Ci wanted to stand up, but found that there was a falling pain in her lower abdomen, because of nervousness and fear, cold sweat continued to break out on her body, and she gritted her teeth: "No, Xiao Zhao, I can't walk." ”
Xiao Zhao was also in a cold sweat at the moment, and he grabbed the security guard's hand: "Let me in." ”
The security guard pushed him away: "I said that I was not allowed to go in, now it is so chaotic inside, what can you do to help you go in." ”
Xiao Zhao was about to cry, and he called Chu Ci again: "Madam, you stay and don't move first, I'll figure out a way." ”
As he was talking, a figure suddenly ran over from the side: "Where is Chu Ci?"
"On the fifth floor, the infant and toddler center. Xiao Zhao subconsciously spoke, and after speaking, he saw that the man next to him seemed to be desperate and was about to rush in.
As soon as the security guard stretched out his hand to stop him, Sheng Xuan stared at him with very solemn eyes: "You let me in." ”
"No, it's too messy inside. ”
Sheng Xuan said word by word: "The people inside are very important to me. After saying that, he ignored it, pulled past the security guard, and rushed in.
…………
Chu Ci sat in the infant center on the fifth floor, the smell of smoke around her seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, everyone was busy escaping, no one noticed her, she was sitting on the sofa with her stomach covered, cold sweat was dripping in pain, the mobile phone suddenly had no signal somehow, she was suddenly desperate.
But the strong sense of survival made her not want to give up so early, and the child in her belly had not yet seen this colorful world, so she propped herself on the sofa with one hand, and covered her stomach with difficulty with the other, and slowly stood up.
There was smoke around her, she coughed a few times, and then tried to walk to the stairs from memory, but as soon as she got up, the sharp pain in her lower abdomen forced her to slow down and squat there.
Sheng Xuan ran from the first floor to the fifth floor with thick smoke, at this moment the lighting system of the mall has been stopped, he turned on the light of his mobile phone, searcher, and finally saw the infant center, his heart tightened, hurriedly ran over, and shouted: "Chu porcelain, Chu porcelain!"
Chu Ci suddenly heard someone call her name in a daze, she gritted her teeth and raised her face, but she didn't see anyone, she took a deep breath, supported the chair with her hand and wanted to stand up again, I don't know when there was an extra hand by her side, supporting her: "Chu Ci don't be afraid, I'm here." ”
Sheng Xuan put his arm around her waist and handed her the handkerchief: "You cover your nose, I'll take you out." ”
Looking at the familiar people around him, Chu Ci's brain was still in the blank stage: "Ah Xuan, you ......"
"Can you walk?" Sheng Xuan asked, looking at her as if she was having a hard time.
"I can't walk, my stomach hurts. Cold sweat kept falling on Chu Ci's head, and his back was almost wet.
Because she had a big belly, Sheng Xuan couldn't carry her easily, so he bent down and hugged Chu Ci: "Hold my neck, I'll take you down." ”
When he picked up Chu Ci, Sheng Xuan obviously felt a piercing pain in his right hand, he was a little unable to exert his strength, this hand was seriously injured in prison before, and he was slowly recovering over the years, trying not to do heavy work, so he usually couldn't see it, but holding a woman of more than 100 catties, Sheng Xuan still felt severe pain.
Chu Ci also felt the change in Sheng Xuan's face, and hurriedly said, "Ah Xuan, you don't care about me, let's go!"
"No, I'm going to take you out. ”
He gritted his teeth and hugged Chu Ci tightly with his hand: "I won't ignore you." ”
Even if he gave his life here today, he would take Chu Ci out.
Tears flashed in Chu Ci's eyes, and she spoke: "Ah Xuan, if you don't leave, both of us may be trapped inside." ”
Sheng Xuan looked very firm: "No, I will take you out safely." He smiled: "Not only for you, but also the baby in your belly, I don't know if it's a boy or a girl." ”
He walked towards the stairs with Chu Ci in his arms, chatting with her as he walked to distract her from thinking so much.
"It's a girl. ”
"That's nice, can you call me uncle?"
Chu Ci wiped away her tears: "When she is born, I will be the first to call her uncle." ”
Sheng Xuan's nose was sour suddenly, and the sourness rushed into the frame of his eyes, and he almost blurred his vision.
The stairs have not been spread by the fire for the time being, Sheng Xuan is holding a person, still a pregnant woman, naturally he does not dare to take it lightly, he walks slowly and steadily with every step, and his forehead is soaked with cold sweat.
Finally arrived on the first floor, Sheng Xuan put Chu Ci down and looked at it and said, "The fire has spread here, the gate can't get out, let's go out of the underground garage." ”
Chu Ci nodded: "I'll go by myself." ”
Sheng Xuan's hand really couldn't use his strength, it was already a numb feeling, when he came down, he gave Chu Ci a handkerchief to cover his mouth and nose, and he inhaled a lot of smoke, and at this moment, his throat was the same as that of a needle, and it was a little difficult to breathe.
Chu Ci felt that her legs were wet, as if something was flowing out, she didn't dare to think about it, gritted her teeth, and held Sheng Xuan's hand: "Let's go out together." ”
Sheng Xuan held her hand with his backhand and led her cautiously towards the exit of the underground garage.
When passing by the jewelry counter, there was suddenly a sound of loose materials on it, Sheng Xuanyan quickly hugged Chu Ci, and then he didn't know what fell on the top of his head, and slammed it on his back, he suddenly weakened his legs, and knelt down.
