Ban Ying's house caught fire, and it was his dead father Ban Yang who set the fire on fire. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Hua Li never expected her climbing interest to have such a practical side. After rescuing Ban Ying, Hua Li said that there was a fire point on each floor of the entire residential building, and someone definitely deliberately set the fire. By this time, the road had been jammed by onlookers, the sirens of the fire trucks were already very close, and the police who were driving were maintaining order.
Ban Ying had her father's key lying in her hand, and another thing that had been forcibly stuffed over, and she watched her home bathed in flames in a daze, watching Hua Li rush into the fire again, climbing the wall and climbing to the window of Xiao Ai's house.
The old building was only five stories high, and the firefighters who arrived were trained to extinguish the fire, and more than a dozen high-pressure water jets rushed towards the flames, but to no avail.
Every experienced firefighter present muttered in their hearts, this is not the first time they have encountered this level of fire, and there have been quite a lot of fires in recent times. It stands to reason that with so many water cannons operating at the same time, even if they cannot be extinguished, the fire can be suppressed, providing time and opportunity for personnel to be rescued. However, this time the flames seemed to be completely unafraid of water, and it was just an ordinary residential fire, but it emitted strange flame colors and unreasonable black smoke like chemical burning.
Suspecting that the building contained chemicals and that the smoke and dust might be toxic, firefighters informed the police of the situation and asked them to evacuate the crowd completely.
Standing at the front of the fire, Ban Ying was quickly dragged away by the police and rushed to a clearing with other affected residents. In the clearing, Hua Li's parents cried and chanted their daughter's name, and she did not know whether she was alive or dead when she returned to the fire. Several residents who managed to escape with their families were scared and rejoicing, and several elderly people were counting the families who could not escape with their fingers on their faces full of sorrow.
None of Xiao Ai's family ran out.
Some things are difficult to accept, even harder than accepting the existence of magic. The injured among the affected residents were quickly pulled to the main hospital by a large number of firetrucks, while the rest were organized by the police to go to a nearby small hospital for a physical examination.
Ban Ying was very healthy and uninjured, and after doing some basic examinations, she sat alone on the hospital bench in a daze. Until the police record everyone's contact details and allow everyone to leave.
People affected by the disaster can go to the homes of relatives and friends to stay temporarily, or they can go to the designated aid station to report, and the division of responsibilities and compensation after the disaster are arranged and notified by government agencies.
It was already dawn at this time, and now Ban Ying was very timid, and in the hospital the neighbors were talking about the fire and the families who had not been able to escape. He didn't want to hear this, but he still couldn't help but remember it in his heart.
"Fifteen households, nearly fifty people......" Ban Ying muttered about this, and counted the number of people in the same hospital who were not injured. Including me, there are only ten people. ”
He didn't know whether the remaining forty people were dead or alive, and what their injuries were, but he only knew that the catastrophe that these people had suffered was all done by his father.
In that prison world, he heard that his father Ban Yang might die from the enemy, and at this time he did not feel the slightest grief for his father's death. In his opinion, the person who set the fire at will deserved to die.
In the city, Ban Ying has no relatives but has a lot of friends. He didn't plan to go to the aid station, but made a phone call to his ex-girlfriend.
"Qianqian, my house is on fire, can you let me stay overnight for a while?"
A pleasant female voice came from the other side of the phone, "What? Have you been punished? Ban Ying, you can always surprise me! ”
Ban Ying didn't reply, and after a moment of silence, the woman finally sensed that the atmosphere was wrong, whispered 'sorry', and then wrote down the address and drove over.
What appeared in front of Ban Ying was a very large motorcycle, and his ex-girlfriend Lin Qian broke up with him because of this, because of the dangerous vehicle such as motorcycles. I can't remember who took the initiative to say the word 'break up', they have been separated for nearly half a year after a two-year relationship.
Lin Qian saw her ex-boyfriend looking embarrassed, took off her helmet and revealed her short hair, revealing a distressed expression.
"Your house burned down? Didn't you salvage anything? ”
Ban Ying shook her head.
"Tsk, that's a pity." Lin Qian was feeling sorry for some of the things she gave her ex-boyfriend, "If only I knew that I would all come back when we broke up." What are you going to do now? My family can only borrow you for a few days, don't forget, we have already broken up, so I have no obligation to take care of you. ”
Ban Ying said 'thank you' with a depressed expression, walked to the motorcycle, took the spare hard hat handed by his ex-girlfriend, and sat silently in the back seat.
Lin Qian still knows her ex-boyfriend very well, and she knows his optimism very well, and now she must have been hit by being so depressed. She decided to help the unfortunate man who had been caught in the fire a little bit, and to take care of him a little while until he recovered and found a new place to live.
Her idea is good, but Ban Ying lives here...... That's three months.
---
In the early morning of the weekend three months after the fire, Lin Qian struggled to get up from the bed, kicked her ex-boyfriend out of bed with sleepiness, dressed up casually and went to work.
Lin Qian is a foreigner, and the size of the rented house is very small, more than 30 square meters, and there is no place to put two beds. The two have slept in the same bed for the past three months, but they don't feel very embarrassed, after all, they have been in a relationship for two years.
What made Lin Qian angry was that Ban Ying hadn't mentioned a word about 'compounding' in the past three months, and she didn't show what she meant. In her opinion, this is an insult to herself, a big beauty, and the whole person is depressed in her chest with a breath of breath.
In addition, Ban Ying's cowardly appearance also made her look unbearable. In the three months after the fire, his ex-boyfriend neither went out to work nor had any intention of working, and he didn't even change his tricks. sat in front of the TV in a daze all day long, and never saw him change the channel.
Once Lin Qian felt angry and put the remote control in her bag and took it to work. As a result, when I went home, I saw Ban Ying still watching TV, facing the shopping desk.
She has nothing to say about this 'waste person', so she treats herself as possessed by the disaster star and ignores him.
Although Ban Ying has been in a daze for three whole months, she must go out today. The responsibility for the fire accident was determined, and the aftermath committee called a meeting of the affected residents. In fact, there had been two similar summonings before, and he dared not go. In the first two months when he came to Lin Qian's house, he had nightmares, and he had to be woken up by nightmares almost every night.
He wanted to buy some sleeping pills to help him sleep, but Lin Qian didn't allow it, saying that it was not good for his body and was dependent.
He hadn't dreamed much in the last month, but he had a little courage to face the neighbors who had been affected by his father's arson, so he decided to go to a meeting to see what was going on. However, he didn't have the travel expenses, and Lin Qian refused to lend him pocket money at all, as if he was worried that he would drink too much or something after he had money.
Riding Lin Qian's bicycle, Ban Ying walked through the streets of Shanghai in the autumn wind of October. When he arrived at the venue, everyone dispersed, and he overestimated his riding speed and was very late. He had just stopped the car just in time for Hua Li to emerge from the conference building, the first time he had seen Hua Li since the night of the fire.
Lin Qian helped inquire about Hua Li's situation a little before, saying that she jumped from the stairs with the little girl in her arms after rescuing Xiao Ai from the fire, and her leg was injured and her leg was amputated. After hearing the news, Ban Ying's nightmare no longer appeared in the ghosts of Xiao Ai and Hua Li, but instead replaced by Hua Li, who was in a wheelchair, staring at him with resentment.
The real situation seems to be stronger than the nightmare, Hua Li walked with crutches quite briskly, and there was no resentment on his face, looking quite cheerful.
"It's her."
Ban Ying felt better when she saw this situation, and forced a smile to greet her.
"Little brother!" Hua Li seemed very happy to see Ban Ying. "You're late, we're all done with the meeting!" However, this hearty expression only lasted for a moment, and then turned into a sad face and looked behind her, Xiao Ai and the two uncles who adopted her had just walked out of the building.
Ban Ying looked at it, and her chest hurt.
"Little loves her parents?"
"Hmm......" Hua Li nodded, "...... I didn't get out. Those two people are Xiao Ai's uncles. ”
"Uncle...... Do you have a small hobby? ”
Hua Li shook her head again.
"They heard that the government didn't lose money and didn't donate anything, so they planned to send Xiaoai to a children's welfare home."
"That's right." Ban Ying felt that it was difficult to breathe, but she still held up her smile and asked, "What about you, Sister Hua?" ”
"Me. OK! She lifted her cane and stood on one leg, as if to prove that losing a calf wouldn't stop her. This action made Ban Ying want to die with guilt.
They didn't communicate much, Hua Li had to go to work in the afternoon, she found a new job, so the two exchanged addresses and phone numbers and separated.
Ban Ying leaned against the bike, her hands in her trouser pockets. In his left pocket was Daddy's key, and in his right pocket was a shiny gold coin. This thing was given to him by the Lily Demon when he left, and Ban Ying didn't go to the island prison again in the past three months, but studied it a little.
Crafted by the 'Informer', the Gold Coin is a magical item for the Magi and has some wonders, being a gift from the prisoner to the new warden.
With hatred for the arsonist's father, Ban Ying didn't plan to have any more entanglements with the magician. But the responsibilities in front of him made it impossible for him to pretend that he was an ordinary person, and that there were things that had to be done.
