Chapter 295: A dream, not a dream

My heart was beating harder and harder, and I didn't know where I was coming from, associating a fire with the piano shop, but the premonition grew stronger. I didn't dare to think about it anymore, so I ran out of the alley without a hitch. Along

The piano shop was getting closer and closer to me, and when I saw it clearly, my heart felt as if it had been twisted by a knife. The moment in front of me instantly shattered all my sanity. The falling flames fell on the sign of the piano shop, and then turned into a larger flame and fell downward...... I can't tell if it's on earth or hell!

I used my remaining reason to look for Xiao Ai and Xiaofang in the crowd of onlookers, but all I could see was the crowd of people who were constantly gathering and talking, and my ears were full of the sound of "zizi" after the fusion of water and fire.

I frantically rushed to the entrance of the building, which was no longer able to make out the direction, but was stopped by the nearest firefighter next to me, and he said to me, "You are the owner of the piano store, right?" …… With such a big fire, the belongings inside will definitely not be saved, don't joke with your life for money! “

I was already in a broken voice because of the roar: "There are people inside, there are people in the piano shop...... There are two more people in the piano shop......! ”

The fireman's voice became nervous: "Is there anyone inside?" …… The surrounding neighbors say that there are no people living in this piano shop at night!! ”

"Live...... They've just moved in...... You're letting me in, I'm afraid it's too late...... It's really too late!! ”

I struggled like crazy, but I was held down by a few men and firefighters around me. He said that without professional equipment, rushing into the sea of fire is a dead end......

I have lost Zhao Chu in my life, and I can't lose Xiao Ai anymore. I withstood the huge resistance on my body, grabbed the lamppost, and after borrowing the strength, I crawled forward regardless of the qiē, and shouted to the firefighters with the last sobriety: "Let me in, I am familiar with the structure of the house, only I can find them in the first place." ”

I used all my strength, but I still couldn't break free from the shackles on my body, so I could only watch another firefighter go up the ladder, and then use tools to break the window made of steel bars, and break the window into the interior of the piano shop, and I could only look helplessly, my heart was like a nail board, and I was suffocating on the verge of death all the time!

I feel like I have some strength, and I am struggling like crazy, but there are more people trapped in me, no one can understand my mood at the moment, in the place where the flames burn the whitest, there is the most important person in my life, her life is my life, if there is no her, what is the use of me keeping this broken life?

……

Time passed minute by minute, but the firefighters who went in still failed to bring Xiao Ai and Xiaofang out. I reassured myself that they must have taken so long because they were not familiar with the structure of the house. Xiao Ai is such a smart woman, she must be protecting herself and Xiaofang in the safest way, and fate should not be so cruel to me, let alone her.

In the blurred vision, there was a commotion in the crowd, and I saw that the firefighter who went in before carried Xiao Fang out of the fire, and after he handed Xiao Fang to another firefighter waiting on the ladder, he turned around and rushed into the fire, I knew that the person he wanted to save this time was Xiao Ai.

Xiaofang went down the ladder, to my surprise, her consciousness was quite clear, but her expression was full of horror, and when I struggled to run towards her, she cried and said to me, "Boss Jiang...... Hurry up and save Teacher Ruyi, her eyes and face are full of blood...... I'm so scared! “

I felt like I was going crazy, and I didn't dare to imagine what kind of situation Xiao Ai was facing at this moment. But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't break free from the shackles of my body, just like that ridiculous life, pain and accidents were like appendages, tormenting and destroying us, so that sometimes even death seemed like a gift.

I am physically and mentally exhausted, and I tell myself with my only remaining will, if Xiao Ai does not survive in this world, I don't want to live reluctantly, I want her to be well, I am not afraid of how painful I am, I just want her to be well.

As if tormented in hell, the figure of the firefighter finally reappeared by the cracked window, the inextinguishable flames, like an evil viper spitting snake letters behind him. At this critical moment, any blasting brought a thrill that the senses could not bear, and those who trapped me finally gave me freedom after the firefighters brought Xiao Ai out.

I rushed to the side of the ladder regardless of it, staring at Xiao Ai, who was protected by him. My heart twitched when I saw her face clearly, her face was covered in blood, and I couldn't really see her except for the high bridge of her nose, I knew it must be some fragile object, the splinters from the explosion in the heat had hurt her eyes.

I held her hand tightly, and then followed the stretcher and kept shouting in her ear, her breath was faint, and she whispered my name. Sue me, her eyes hurt!

……

Xiao Ai had already gotten into the ambulance, and the firefighter who participated in the rescue took off his helmet and said to me with palpitations: "That girl should be your girlfriend...... She had a high sense of fire self-rescue, and she and the little girl hid in the bathroom and drenched the wooden door with water to hold out for so long, but her eyes seemed to be injured by explosives when she was protecting the little girl...... Don't be too sad, it's already a blessing in misfortune to survive, and fortunately you arrived in time to tell us that there are people in us, otherwise the consequences are really unimaginable...... Because the bathroom is very airtight, under such a big fire, it is difficult to hear the shouts from the outside. “

I couldn't express my feelings at the moment, I just kept looking, hoping that a taxi would show up in time for me to catch up with the ambulance that was already far away, and I had to sense her presence.

As if sensing my feelings, a taxi with no one on board approached from a nearby intersection. After I stopped, I couldn't wait for the driver to drive to the Sixth People's Hospital, and the moment the car started, I seemed to have left hell on earth, but the flames behind me had not been completely extinguished. I know, when the piano is finished, I'm done......

But as long as Xiao Ai can be safe and sound, then what is the destruction outside of life?

……

In the hospital, I sat anxiously on a bench, keeping my head down, not even daring to open my eyes, and every minute and second of my life was tormented. I knew how important looks were to her, or something more terrible to come, and I saw blood almost all over her face, and even the firefighters who saved her couldn't tell what she was hurting.

In the darkness after rejecting the light, I prayed over and over again, that Heaven would be merciful to her and not allow her to be irreversibly damaged in such an unexpected event.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps in the hallway. Soon, Yu Xin stood in front of me, and she anxiously asked me, "Brother Jiangqiao, how are Xiao Ai and Xiaofang?" “

I raised my head to look at her, and only after a while choked up and replied: "Because Xiao Ai is protecting, Xiaofang has no big problems, but she was choked by the smoke...... Xiao Ai, she ......"

"Xiao Ai, what's wrong with her?"

I was so painful that I pressed my temple with my hand, and after a period of unsteady gasp, I replied with difficulty: "I don't know the specific situation, the firefighter who rescued her said that her eyes may have been injured by explosives, and I only saw that her face was full of blood......"

Yu Xin's standing posture stiffened, and she asked me again, "Was she still conscious when she came out?" ”

"Yes, she called out to me, saying that her eyes hurt a lot......"

Yu Xin closed her eyes, sighed with anxiety, and sighed: "How can a good piano shop catch fire?" …… Did Xiao Ai use some unsafe electrical appliances to cook and eat inside? ”

At this moment, I only care about Xiao Ai's safety, and I don't have the extra mood to explore the cause of the fire. I didn't answer, I just subconsciously looked at the emergency status light at the door of the emergency room......

Yu Xin didn't ask any more questions, she crossed her arms on her chest, then leaned against the wall next to the bench, and said to me again after a long time: "Brother Jiangqiao, I just informed Senior Brother Yuan Zhen and Senior Brother Xiaowei about Xiao Ai, they have already rushed from Urumqi to Nanjing...... I think they should also inform Professor Ruan in Taipei, I hope you can be mentally prepared in advance, such a big thing, even if I don't say it, they will know about it through other channels. ”

"As long as Xiao Ai is fine, anything else is fine."

Yu Xin nodded, and then didn't say a word, just looked in the direction of the emergency room with the same gaze as me.

……

Perhaps because it was late at night, there were no people in the hospital anymore, only the occasional nurse with a notepad, yawning and walking down the aisle. This extreme silence gave me the illusion that I didn't believe that this qiē that had just happened was real, I felt as if I was having a dream that I couldn't wake up from, and I really longed that it was just a nightmare!

Because there are so many beautiful vows between us. We said that after Xiaofang participated in the Xinghai Cup Piano Competition, we would take time to go to Xishuangbanna together, and I thought a lot about this trip.

Until now, we have never held hands properly to enjoy the customs of a different place, nor have we worn couple clothes to shuttle through the crowd of people coming and going, letting everyone know that we are in love. We can bask in the sun together, enjoy a cup of coffee together, and bring the best memories from Xishuangbanna back to Nanjing together.

But now, compared to the real qiē that happened at this moment, this is more like an untouchable dream. Her world collapsed, and so did mine!
