Ye Huan touched her face in embarrassment, "Am I wearing makeup?" ”

"No, no, but Miss Ye, why are you only wearing one earring?" The cleaner pointed to her right ear. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Ye Huan touched her earlobe, sure enough, it was empty, her diamond-encrusted earrings disappeared at some point, she stomped her foot in annoyance, this is a gift she bought for herself with the year-end bonus, a pair of tens of thousands, how could it be so accidentally dropped.

"Miss Ye, don't worry, I'll help you write a notice of finding things, and let the staff of the property pay attention to see if they can help you find it back." Manager Qu hurriedly comforted her.

"Thank you, Manager Qu." Ye Huan said to him gratefully, "I'm looking everywhere myself." ”

But she searched back and forth several times in the place where she walked, but she didn't find the earrings, and when she was in a hurry, she saw Xu Xing hurriedly walking past her. Ye Huan stopped him, "You haven't gotten off work yet, where are you going?" ”

Xu Xing glanced at her, "I've taken a leave of absence, and I have something urgent to deal with." With that, he walked out of the door without looking back.

Ye Huan looked at his back, and suddenly felt that this man was very far away from her, and she didn't know why she suddenly had this idea, but this thought became stronger and stronger, her heart was empty, and she felt a little lonely and lonely for a while.

Xu Xing followed the address given by Cui Minghan to an old house on the outskirts of City D that was about to be demolished, and he went around inside before finally finding the house number on the address.

He knocked on the iron door plastered with small advertisements, "Who?" A hoarse voice came from inside.

"May I ask if it's He Chengli's family?" Xu Xing asked softly.

After a long time, the door finally opened, and a man in his fifties with a cane poked his head out of the crack in the door, he was wearing a shabby Mao suit, and a thin face was full of the vicissitudes of time, he looked at Xu Xing, "I am He Chengli, who are you?" ”

Xu Xing took out his press card and his eyes lit up, "I'm a reporter from the newspaper, and I came to you this time to make an investigation report on the fire in the garment factory twenty years ago." ”

He Chengli took the press card in front of him, squinted his eyes and looked at it for a long time, and finally, he slowly opened the door and let Xu Xing in, "Comrade reporter, this matter has been going to be done for so long, why do you suddenly want to report it again?" ”

"Our newspaper is going to do a winter and spring fire prevention and control propaganda with the city fire brigade, and the things in your garment factory are more typical, so we should focus on reporting." After telling this string of lies calmly, Xu Xing couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, when did he be the same as her, making up lies one by one, and no one could see the flaws at all.

"Oh, that's it," He Chengli rubbed his hands, looking a little cramped and uneasy, "I'm a rough person, I don't know if I can explain it clearly, besides, it's been so long......

"It's okay, you just have to tell me what you know."

He Chengli nodded, he looked at the mottled wall in the living room, his expression darkened, and he slowly fell into the memories of the past.

It was a winter morning, and I still remember that day a lot of wild cats suddenly came to the factory, gathered in the yard and screamed mournfully, and they couldn't get rid of it. There is a saying in my hometown that cats come to filial piety, so I joked with my brothers that day, saying that God was coming to pick up people today, but I didn't expect it to be a prophecy.

We had three floors in total, and I was working on the third floor, and the fire started from the west side of the factory. Because the factory had just received a large order from abroad, everyone was extremely busy, and they didn't notice how the fire was burning. I just remember that there was a lot of wind outside, and the windows were rattling. Suddenly, I heard a loud "bang", and then I saw a sea of fire on the west side of the factory.

To be honest, my first reaction at that time was not to run away, but to be frightened, I looked at my colleagues who were eating and chatting together half an hour ago, and suddenly turned into fire people one by one, some of them were still struggling, and some of them were burned into black things in an instant, sticking to the floor and shiny.

By the time I reacted, the fire was almost all over the place, you know, we're a garment factory, and there's cloth everywhere, so the fire spread very quickly. I didn't think about it, I slammed open the window next to me and jumped. I listened to the screams behind me, but there was no way to rush in to save people, and both of my thigh bones were broken. But I was lucky because in that accident, I at least saved my life. More than 200 employees in our factory died in that accident, more than 180 lives, most of them were the pillars of the family at that time, but God is so ruthless, he will not care about the suffering of us mortals, and only take these people away according to his own preferences.

"Oh my God?" Xu Xing looked at He Chengli, "Why do you say that?" Didn't the cause of the fire be found out at that time? ”

At that time, a new district chief had just been appointed, and he was afraid that this matter would affect his career too much, so there was not even a single media report on this matter back then, and the workers who died in the fire were only compensated a few thousand yuan for a few thousand yuan. But later, I got together with a few brothers who survived the fire, and when we talked about it, we all thought that the fire was unclear, and although the government told us that the fire was caused by the aging of the line, it burned so fast that almost instantly, the whole West End was on fire. And that loud noise, I still can't figure out what that sound was all about, was it an explosion? I don't feel like it, it's like ......," he frowned and looked out the window.

"What's the like?" Xu Xing asked.

"It's like God threw a thunderbolt down, that's right, this fire is like a heavenly fire, falling from the sky, extremely ferocious, and burning people in an instant."

"Skyfire." Xu Xing muttered to himself, he looked at the blue and translucent sky outside the window like He Chengli, why did he feel that the more he looked into it, the more mysteries there were, this matter seemed to be more complicated than he imagined.

"Master He, thank you for accepting my interview," Xu Xing took out the entire ticket in his wallet and stuffed it into his hand, "Our newspaper knows that you are in a difficult life now, so let me transfer this money to you and talk about it." ”

After he finished speaking, he turned around to leave, but He Chengli stopped him behind his back, "Wait, why are you the same as that girl." ”
