Chapter 114: The Archives That Turned Out
"Give me some time to think about it," Gu Zhi said after being silent for a while.
"Okay." Fang Yan nodded and didn't say anything more.
Lin Yuan thought for a moment and continued: "I don't know if you know, this person seems to be a little insane. ”
"What do you mean?" Gu Zhi was a little puzzled, how could this be seen from the corpse.
"Not only do she have burn marks on her back from her waist to her neck, but she also has obvious signs of self-abuse on her arms, and if she really lived alone at home for thirteen years, it must be mentally wrong." Lin Yuan said.
"It's miserable." A voice came out.
Gu Zhi was a little strange for several people, because this sentence was not said by any of them, it was a woman's voice.
The people who were originally around Lin Rui's bed followed the sound and saw a middle-aged woman with gray temples sitting by the window.
Since Lin Rui was dead, her ability was broken, and the three people lying on the bed also woke up.
The woman talked to herself, not looking in their direction, but looking out the window at the tree, and speaking thoughtfully.
"The person who survived the fire was not a little boy, he was a little girl, and when I was still living in the hospital dormitory, I used to take my children to play with her."
"The two children have a good relationship, every time there is talk and laughter, my son pulled me every day and said that I was going to play with my brother, and then I told him that it was a younger sister, he was not so positive, I guess he was shy."
"I am very impressed with that little girl, she likes to count very much, and she can't help but be embarrassed by oral arithmetic or mental arithmetic, and I also said that my son is too stupid to be an older brother."
"Later, I don't know what's wrong, she suddenly became a little withdrawn, my children asked her to play, and she ignored it."
Gu Zhi knew that this was because of the great changes in her family and the beginning of the tragedy in her life.
"Then, tragedy struck, and on the morning of that day, there was a sudden shouting in the community, and when everyone came out, they found that one of the residents' homes was on fire."
"I looked at it for a while, only to find out that it was Lao Lin and their house, but the fire was so big that it had already come out of the window."
"Even if we were in a hurry, we had to wait for the firefighters to come. However, the fire is really too big, even if the firefighters come, they can't break through, and they can only suppress the fire outside before they can go in. ”
"Although I know Lao Lin very well, really, I don't believe that they can survive this fire."
"And then ......"
"And then I went in," the middle-aged man suddenly continued, "I'm afraid that there are still survivors inside, and they may still be holding on, just waiting for our firefighters to arrive, and I can't give up like that." ”
"So I didn't care about the captain's dissuasion, put on a fireproof suit and went in, and the fire was not as big as it was when we first came."
"Then I broke open the door and broke in, and although the fire was much smaller, the smoke was blocked, and the visibility was still very low."
"Because there was no cry for help, I went in and fumbled and got into a side bedroom."
"Then I saw the little girl, who was lying under her mother, protecting herself as much as she could."
"But I was so shocked that I would dream about it even in the months that followed."
"When I opened the door, I made eye contact with the woman, who was staring in the direction of the door with wide eyes. She was dead, and I was so frightened by that look that even in the days that followed, I could never forget that desperate look, the look from the man who was already dead. ”
"When the little girl saw me, she kept talking to herself, as if her mother was still alive, and told me to save her mother. It's infiltrating. ”
"'Then can you save my mother first, I can wait a little longer.'" That's what the little kid said, and I don't know how to answer her, and the kind of sincere look in her eyes, I don't dare tell her that your mother is dead. ”
"So, I lied to her once, 'Uncle will save you first, you are lighter, and you will be back soon after taking you out.'" That's what I said to her. ”
"I, I really tried my best, but I couldn't save her mother, I could only lie to her, and I could save her mother by lying to her for a while, so that she could have a chance to survive, otherwise I was worried that she wouldn't want to escape at all."
"And then ......" The middle-aged man was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
It's not so much about interrupting as smoothly handing over the right to speak to someone else.
"Then he took her out and passed by us." The fat aunt also became serious at this moment, "Her little hand grabbed me directly, and told me to save her mother, saying that her mother was not dead, and begging us to save her." ”
"I didn't know what to do at the time, I didn't even rescue the firefighters, how could I save a small person like me who had no professional training."
"So I had to wait until the fire was out to see it. And then we saw that look as well, and we saw it when we entered the door. The woman said with a frown.
She stiffened in that propped position, with an open space beneath her, and the clothes on her back were completely burned.
"That look was terrifying, the kind I won't forget for a long time. Then, I also saw Lao Lin on the side, Lao Lin was lying on the side, he was also dead, his body was scorched, and I was directly nauseated to vomit at that time. ”
"He seemed to have blocked the falling beam with his hands, and in order to protect the mother and daughter, he himself was burned alive." The fat woman was sad, although it was thirteen years ago, and now it is mentioned and remembered by everyone, but it is still vivid.
Gu Zhi was stunned in place, the details they told were completely different from what he had learned.
However, he did not refute, just stood quietly and listened to the three of them reminisce about the past.
It's not that he doesn't want to refute it, it's that he thinks that what they said should be right, what really happened, not what he saw in his dreams.
"Head, we went to the archives left behind before and dug out the materials from that year." A little brother in black suddenly entered the room and said to Fang Yan.
"Bring it, I'll take a look." Fang Yan took the file bag in his hand.
The file bag is a little yellow, it looks very old, and there are some blackened marks in the corners.
Seeing Gu Zhi's eyes on the scorched black trace, the little brother took the initiative to say: "The archive room was on fire ten years ago, and the scale was not large, but some files were still lost, and this one was fortunately preserved, but then the archives changed addresses but did not register, and it took us a long time to turn this file out." ”
"Oh~" Gu Zhi nodded.
