When Chen Xuewu was driving, his eyes always glanced at the back of the car through the reversing mirror, intentionally or unintentionally, and when he found that there was always a red van not far away from him, his heart was finally reassured.

After more than an hour of driving, the sun was already hanging high.

"Xiaomin, let's take a break for a while and find a place to eat, shall we?" Chen Xuewu discussed with Qi Shunmin while driving.

Qi Shunmin's eyebrows frowned slightly: "Alas, now that Panpan's situation is unknown, how can I have the appetite to eat?" ”

Chen Xuewu comforted: "It's still four or five hours' drive from Pingtai Town. We didn't eat in the morning, so why don't we eat now? Besides, Fu Xiaojuan should also have some food. ”

Chen Xuewu said as he set his eyes on Fu Xiaojuan.

Fu Xiaojuan had something in her heart and did not express her position, which was equivalent to agreeing with Chen Xuewu's words.

Qi Shunmin really felt hungry after Chen Xuewu said this, so he had to nod: "Okay then." You find a convenient restaurant to park your car.

Chen Xuewu waited for his beloved wife's command, and immediately focused his attention on both sides of the road.

When I noticed that there were several roadside restaurants in front of me, I didn't stop at the first one, but stopped near the second one.

Qi Shunmin didn't understand why her husband bypassed a restaurant, and she was in no mood to ask why, so as soon as the car stopped, she ordered Fu Xiaojuan next to her: "Let's get out of the car." ”

Fu Xiaojuan obediently got out of the car with Qi Shunmin and walked into the small restaurant under her supervision.

Chen Xuewu walked in with the two of them, and before entering the door, he subconsciously glanced behind and found that the red van was parked safely in front of the first hotel.

Chen Xuewu couldn't help but smile pleasantly, and secretly said in his heart, people also need to eat.

Qi Shunmin didn't need to discuss with Fu Xiaojuan and Chen Xuewu, he ordered the food alone, all of which were some fast food. What she wanted was to finish eating and go on the road.

During the meal, Chen Xuewu couldn't help but ask his beloved wife: "Look at your mobile phone, haven't they contacted you?" ”

Qi Shunmin took out his phone and glanced at it, then shook his head.

Chen Xuewu couldn't help frowning: "Alas, they don't know what the rush is like now." You might as well call and tell them. ”

Qi Shunmin shook his head willfully: "No, we have already sued them, it is impossible for the child to go to Yang'an, who made them self-righteous?" Let them wander around Yang'an now. You must personally help them find their hopes, so that they can reflect on their attitude towards you. ”

When Chen Xuewu heard his beloved wife's words, he finally understood her 'good intentions', and couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile.

While they were eating, Tan Lijun, who was already in Yang'an, was driving a car carrying Qi Shunmei around the street without a clue. Although it was already time to eat, they didn't have an appetite like Chen Xuewu, and no one looked for a place to eat.

Qi Shunmei has not even eaten breakfast since she arrived here early in the morning. She couldn't imagine how her daughter had spent the night, and her heart was almost broken.

She leaned her head weakly on the chair, thinking back to her daughter's message in the letter, and couldn't help but think back to seventeen years ago—

That year, she was still a junior in college, and she was also a budding girl. But she was very sad at the time, because her first love parted ways with her.

It turned out that when she was a sophomore, she secretly got along with a boy in her senior year. A girl who is in love for the first time is irrational. When she gave everything to the other party, the senior left her because of graduation. And no longer contact her. It turned out that the sanctimonious boy was just using her to relieve her boredom, and once he graduated from college, he quickly got a daughter with a lot of money.

Qi Shunmei, who was already going crazy, finally found out about her first love, and was immediately grief-stricken. She walked out of the school gate at night to find a place to vent, so she soaked in the bar for the whole night, and got drunk.

The kind-hearted bar owner found the contact information of her classmates who were good friends with her and informed her classmates in time.

Qi Shunmei, who was drunk and unconscious, was finally sent back to the school dormitory from the bar by her classmates.

She was living on the third floor at the time. When her classmates put her in bed, they saw that her condition was relatively stable, so they all went to class with confidence.

However, in the dormitory on the first floor, there is also a girl who skips school, and she has no spirit to go to class because she goes out at night to fool around with men in society. However, her stomach suddenly became hungry, so she secretly took out a small electric stove from her bag, plugged it in, and planned to cook some instant noodles on it.

Since the school strictly forbade students to cook in the dormitory, the girl had to do it secretly. In fact, she doesn't like to eat the 'pig-feeding food' in the school cafeteria, but prefers to make her own small stove. often secretly cooks instant noodles in the house behind the back of the dormitory management staff to eat. But that day something happened!

It turned out that the electrical circuit of this female dormitory building had already aged, and although the girls used to use the electric stove in the past, they were lucky not to have accidents, but everything was repeated again and again, but there was no repeated fourth. That morning, the dormitory building was burning violently because of aging electrical wiring. The girl was stupefied and fled from the dormitory in a hurry. Because she was worried about taking responsibility, she did not call for help in time, but chose to hide.

As a result, the fire lasted for more than half an hour before it was discovered by the school authorities. At this time, the fire has spread -

The local fire brigade was soon dispatched, led by a fire lieutenant, who was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a handsome face and a fearlessness common to young soldiers. He was fully armed, his eyes anxiously looking at the smoke-filled four-story building, but calmly directing the firefighters to extinguish the fire.

At this moment, the school leaders all gathered around, and as soon as he looked like a leader, the principal of the school came over to talk: "Thank you, comrades from the fire department, you are too timely, you must help us keep this building." It's a place for girls in our school. ”

The lieutenant frowned: "There are no trapped people inside, right?" ”

The headmaster shook his head, "No. It's student class time, and even the dormitory caretaker is outside. However, there are a lot of personal items for the girls. ”

The lieutenant's brow furrowed: "As long as there is no one." We immediately used a water cannon to extinguish the fire inside. Fortunately, there are no flammable or explosive materials stored inside. ”

"Qi Shunmei!" One of the girls suddenly screamed, "She's still in there." ”

The lieutenant was stunned for a moment, and immediately walked over and asked, "Who is Qi Shunmei?" ”

At this time, several girls gathered around the lieutenant and said, "She is our roommate, and she is still lying in the dormitory." ”

The lieutenant's face changed: "You all go to school, and she is lying alone in the dormitory, and she does not run for her life in the event of a fire." Is she sick? ”

The girl who screamed first quickly replied: "She was drunk because of a broken love, and several of our classmates only received a notice from the bar owner this morning to get her out of the bar and back to the dormitory." She was sleeping so hard that she couldn't escape. ”

The school leaders in front of them were stunned and immediately asked, "Is this true?" ”

The girls nodded at the same time: "Look, Qi Shunmei is not outside at all." She certainly didn't escape. ”

The lieutenant's eyes returned to anxiety, and he immediately asked, "Then what floor and room does she live in?" ”

Another girl replied: "She lives in dormitory 312 on the third floor. ”

The lieutenant calmly observed the dormitory and saw that the fire had not yet spread to the third floor, but it was also consumed by thick smoke. If the people above are not rescued in time, they will choke to death by the smoke, even if they are not burned to death by the fire. However, now the first and second floors are blocked by fireworks. Even if the girls inside come to their senses, I'm afraid they won't be able to escape.

Thinking of this, the lieutenant no longer hesitated and decided to rush upstairs to save the trapped girl himself. He was actually fully armed, and now he lifted the hood with one hand, put on the hood with the other, and put the hood on his head.

When the other firefighters saw that the captain was going to walk into the fire to save people, they ordered to stop them: "Fang team, should I go?" ”

The lieutenant decisively waved his arm and ordered his men to retreat. Without hesitation, he ran into the first floor with smoke billowing out. Although he walked in the fireworks, his bulky fireproof suit and visor kept him safe from the smoke and fire. However, it will not be fast. He slowly found the stairs and quickly climbed up.

When he ran to the second floor, he ran to the third floor without stopping. He navigated the hallway on the third floor, quickly found room 312, and kicked the door open.

Although the flames had not yet been skewered into Qi Shunmei's bedroom, the smoke had already seeped in. Qi Shunmei had already choked up. But by the time she realized what was going on, it was too late. She had tried to escape for her life, but the hallway was filled with smoke and scorched. She had to close the door, but there was no back window to escape. It turned out that the doors and windows of this row of girls' dormitories were on the side of the corridor, and there was no rear window.

Now Qi Shunmei has no way to escape, covering her mouth and nose with her hands, facing the fire that is about to spread in horror.

At this critical moment, the door was slammed open, and with the smoke outside, a figure rushed in.

Although she couldn't see who the other party was, when she saw that the other party was tightly packed, she also guessed that he was a firefighter, so she shouted: "I'm here, help." ”

The lieutenant had already spotted the girl huddled in the corner of the dormitory through the thick smoke, and hurriedly ran over: "My classmate is scared, I'm here to save you." ”

Qi Shunmei saw hope in despair, and immediately nodded: "I'm not afraid, please help me out." ”

By the time the lieutenant found the dormitory on the third floor, he was already familiar with the distribution of rooms. Without saying a word, he immediately found a towel from the dormitory, soaked it with water from one of the water cups, and then handed it to Qi Shunmei: "Girl, quickly cover your mouth and nose with it." ”

Qi Shunmei came to her senses, and secretly scolded herself for being too stupid, and she had forgotten even the minimum common sense of self-help, so she took it from the lieutenant's hand and covered her mouth and nose tightly.

At this time, the lieutenant grabbed Qi Shunmei's other arm and advised: "Classmates follow me, if you are afraid of thick smoke, you can close your eyes." I'll be sure to get you out safely. ”

Qi Shunmei couldn't speak anymore, just nodded desperately.

The lieutenant pulled her out of the room, but did not walk down the hallway. Because he knew that the trapped girl wouldn't last long, he kicked open the window opposite. He can use this window to move the trapped girl out of the window. Because his colleagues must have been ready to pick them up with the help of fire ladders.

However, when he just crashed into the locked dormitory opposite, he felt that his hand holding the girl suddenly sank, and he couldn't help but look back and see that the girl had already sat on the ground. If he hadn't dragged her arm with one hand, she would have landed on her head.

The lieutenant was taken aback - what was going on?
