The super-intense physical labor makes the educated youth feel very tired, and sometimes they feel that they can't rest even if they sleep all night, but their hearts are very full, and the feelings between people are deeper.

The inexplicable familiarity between Zhang Yan and Qi Jianguo also became stronger and stronger, but at that time they didn't realize that there were other reasons for this feeling besides love.

The more difficult the environment, the easier it is for happiness to come, even if it is just two people who love each other and smile at each other.

Finally, the slow logging period was over, and all the educated youths returned to the station and slept on the hot ondol.

In the evening, the team received many letters from the families of educated youths, and everyone was not in a high mood after reading them, many of them were so big and came to such a far place for the first time, and the conditions were so difficult.

Qi Jianguo saw that everyone's mood was not high, so he took the initiative to tell jokes to everyone and make them happy, after all, they have been here for almost a year, and they are not considered newcomers, and the homesickness will be overcome by themselves.

As soon as we enter May, the weather begins to get hot and dry, and potatoes are sown in spring today, so now the educated youth are also very leisurely, and they can enjoy a rare good time in this month......

But a terrible disaster caused all the educated youth to end their comfortable time early.

After a thunderstorm, trees were set ablaze by lightning on a mountain not far from the Zhiqing station, causing forest fires.

Wang Qiang's brigade was the first to receive the order to go up the mountain to fight the fire, and all the educated youths were ready to go. All it takes is the captain's order, "Let's go!" ”

Because most of these young people lack experience in fighting fires in the wild, Wang Qiang repeatedly told everyone to pay attention to safety before leaving, because there are no professional fire-fighting tools, and most of the fire-fighting tools in everyone's hands are homemade simple fire-fighting tools.

The order was given in a very hurry, so that the lives of one young man after another rushed to the fire.

All the personnel were divided into two groups by Wang Qiang, one group was responsible for extinguishing the open fire, and the other group was responsible for cutting and digging fire barriers.

However, the dry trees and the strong winds of six or seven magnitudes, the fire is taking advantage of the wind and stretching towards the educated youth station at a speed that can be seen by the naked eye. There were their newly sown crops and logs they had cut down one winter. In order to preserve the property of the country and the people, Wang Qiang ordered the fire barrier to be widened by another 5 meters.

Finally, the fire was temporarily extinguished thanks to the efforts of everyone. Everyone fell to the ground tired. They don't care about the blisters of their hands burned by the flames. I didn't care about my hungry stomachs, so I fell asleep one by one, and some even fell asleep while chewing dry food.

Zhang Yan has no experience in fighting fires. There were a lot of blisters on her hands, Qi Jianguo was distressed and carefully bandaged her, Zhang Yan glanced at him who was as tired as himself and said, "I'm fine, you can sleep for a while!" ”

Qi Jianguo shook his head, "I'm fine, you go to sleep first, I'll help you wrap your hands slowly, maybe there will be a fire in a while!" ”

Zhang Yan glanced at the forest that had turned into scorched earth, and suddenly, everything in front of her seemed familiar, where had she seen this scene? She thought hard, as if something big would happen if she didn't think about it......

Qi Jianguo found that Zhang Yan's expression was wrong, and asked with concern: "What's wrong, is it uncomfortable?" ”

Zhang Yan said with an anxious face: "Jianguo, I suddenly felt very panicked and scared, I have never felt this kind of feeling!" ”

But Qi Jianguo smiled and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, maybe it's because you've never seen such a terrible natural disaster in nature, it's okay, I'm here!" ”

But Zhang Yan didn't have any peace of mind in her heart, she knew that something big would happen that she couldn't change......

After Qi Jianguo's group of educated youths rested, they had to go to the fire in front of them to check if there was a dark fire that had not been extinguished, and suddenly a heat wave blew in the forest, and a fire that had not been completely extinguished was rekindled.

Qi Jianguo's team immediately stepped forward to prepare to extinguish it, but for some reason, the wind blew stronger and stronger, and the small flames just now suddenly rose dozens of feet high, once again igniting the crown of the tree that had just been extinguished next to it.

The fire borrowed the wind, higher and higher, bursts of heat waves hit them, hundreds of degrees of high temperature, people can not get close to the fire source at all, everyone can only temporarily evacuate, who knows that when they turned around to evacuate but found that the woods behind them did not know when they were also splashed on the sparks to ignite!

Qi Jianguo was quite calm, he saw that there was no open fire in the northwest corner, so he asked everyone to run there quickly, and he couldn't be trapped in the fire, otherwise he would choke to death!

But the speed of the people was not as fast, and when most of the people ran out of that northwest corner, Qi Jianguo found that the entire surrounding area had turned into a sea of fire! And he and Zhang Yan were trapped in it.

He glanced at Zhang Yan, turned his heart sideways, took off his shirt and wrapped it on Zhang Yan's head, and then pointed to a place where the flames were not too big and said to her: "Zhang Yan, do you see that place, run!" Run out of there! ”

But Zhang Yan didn't move, Qi Jianguo shouted anxiously, "Zhang Yan! Run!"

Zhang Yan slowly took off the clothes on her head, looked at Qi Jianguo with tears in her eyes and said, "I remember, Brother Shao Dong, I'm Xiaoman!" I remembered......"

Qi Jianguo listened to Zhang Yan's words, and suddenly felt a splitting headache, and some fragments kept appearing in his mind......

That's a clip of himself and Zhang Yan, it's just that the time is wrong, the clothes on their bodies look like they were wearing before liberation, right! He remembered who he was at that time, he was Wang Shaodong! A hot-blooded young man who dedicated his life to the revolution.

He looked at the person in front of him a little confused, and softly called out the two words, "Xiao Man......"

The two hugged each other tightly in the sea of fire, "Xiaoman, can't we get out?" ”

Zhang Yan's body shook and nodded gently, "I saw on the Sansheng Stone that we will still meet and fall in love in this life, but there is still no good result, I can see the ghost because I only drank a small sip of Meng Po soup, I don't want to forget you, but I still forgot!" ”

Qi Jianguo smiled and stroked her hair and said, "It doesn't matter, I won't drink it this time, none of us will forget anyone!" ”

By the time the soldiers of the corps who came to support found the two of them, they had already hugged each other and died, and the corpses turned into a piece of charcoal, which could not be separated at all, and the captain Wang Qiang had to bury the two together, because everyone could see that this was a pair of lovers of life and death......

The souls of the two came to the Nai He Bridge again, Qi Jianguo smiled and took Zhang Yan's hand and said, "I promise not to forget you this time!" ”

Zhang Yan smiled, "Then what if my appearance changes?" ”

"Then I can recognize you at a glance, just like I didn't recognize you before, but I still fell in love with you at first sight!" (To be continued.) )
