Chapter 20: Mr. Principal's Past

The Mid-Autumn Festival five years ago

"Mom, is Dad coming back to admire the moon with us today?" asked Xiao Yi in a milky voice towards the woman who was cooking in the kitchen

The woman paused for a moment, and said to the little girl in an undetermined tone, "Yes, your father... He'll be back..."

"Okay, then I'll wait for Dad at the door"

The woman replied charitably, "No, Mom will make the meal later, let's wait for Dad"

"Good"

After the woman made dinner, the mother and daughter sat at the table and waited

Seven, eight, and nine o'clock in the evening passed little by little

The girl looked at the door, but no one opened it

"Xiao Yi, are you hungry, do you want to eat first?"

Xiao Yi shook his head, "I'm going to wait for Dad"

"Oh well"

After another hour, the two fell asleep directly at the dining table

"It's on fire, it's on fire, put out the fire, call 119, 110" The people downstairs kept shouting, and passers-by who heard it came to help

However, the two were still asleep

The people downstairs took water, which could reduce the fire a little, but it didn't seem to be of much use, and some heard the sound and took advantage of the small fire to escape

Soon the fire engine and ambulance arrived, and after confirming that there was no one on it, they began to put out the fire

Hearing the noise, the woman finally woke up from her sleep, saw the room surrounded by fire, and hurriedly woke up Xiao Yi

The first thing Xiao Yi said when she woke up was "Why hasn't Dad come back yet"

The woman wanted to rush to the door, but the fire continued from the door

She seemed to hear the sound of a fire truck and ran to the window and shouted loudly

The firefighters seemed to hear the voice

Passers-by hurriedly said: "Isn't that the owner of 306, 306 is in the sixth room on the left row on the third floor"

When the firefighters heard this, they hurriedly draped the wet towel over their bodies, rushed up, and the floor was not high, and the firefighters arrived soon

The fire became more and more intense, and the daughter wrapped Xiao Yi with her whole body, and kept saying: "Xiao Yi, don't be afraid, Uncle Firefighter will be here soon"

The fire slowly eroded the woman's body, and the woman was in agony, holding back her painful sound

Seeing a figure in front of him, he muttered, "Save Xiao Yi..." and fell into the fire

Then two figures appeared in the fire, but there was no woman, Xiao Yi was hugged tightly by the firefighters, and it seemed that his whole body was so badly burned that he fainted.

"I'm sorry Captain, it's me who was incompetent, I couldn't save the other" The firefighter stood with his hands upright

The captain shook his head helplessly

Early in the morning, the man rushed back from work with a briefcase, saw that the entire building was burned black, and pulled a passer-by to inquire about the situation anxiously

"Oh, don't you know, this matter is on the news, I heard that there are more than 20 boys and girls on the balcony of this apartment barbecue to celebrate graduation, as a result of the barbecue coal fell on the clothes, to be precise, a little fire should not burn the whole apartment, but the group of boys and girls made a joke, I don't know the specifics, you can ask the police, I also listened to the neighbors"

The man sat on his knees, slapped his face constantly, and kept saying, "Why do you want to work overtime, why do you want to work overtime"

A policeman in a blue uniform walked over, "You're Yixue's father?" ”

"I am," the man stopped and hurriedly replied

"Your daughter has severe burns and is now being treated in the hospital, and there is another woman who has been burned and only her teeth are left, and she is related to this girl through DNA identification, you should go to the hospital to see your daughter first"

The man broke down and cried like a child

After that, he quit his job and opened a school in his daughter's name

Time turned, and I was back in the ward

Mr. Principal kept sobbing, "To... If only God could have made it rain so hard at that time."

———

"The rain seems to have stopped, let's go"

Gu Jiu stretched out his hand and tentatively looked at whether there was any rain, "Yes, then let's go."

Xiao Baozi and Gu Jiu rushed towards the mountain road

Jiang Yi said with some concern, "Walk slowly, the mountain road is slippery."

Hearing this, the two slowed down and walked slowly, they didn't want to end up like a dog gnawing

Along the way, many Kong Ming lanterns fell to the ground due to rain, and some hung on trees
