Chapter 038: Parting (Part I)
One night, Hou Jingcheng stayed awake all night. Maybe it's too preoccupied, or maybe it's a few more looks.
A few days ago, Liu Hu sent him an email, everything was ready, a new ID card, a new passport, and an appointment with a foreign doctor, just waiting for him to return.
Hou Jingcheng opened the door and walked out softly, only carrying his computer in his hand, and on the desk in the room was a thick diary, on which were the letters and cards he left.
His gaze stopped at the door of Sizhen's room for a long time, now she should still be immersed in sweet dreams, I wonder if she will hate him for the rest of her life when she wakes up and sees the letter and knows the truth?
Hou Jingcheng didn't dare to think about it anymore. Walking slowly to the door, the hand holding the doorknob was extremely heavy, but no matter how heavy it was, it had to be opened, and it had to leave. It doesn't belong to himβ
The moment he walked out of the door, he could never look back, no one called him to wait for Jingcheng anymore, no one really cared about him anymore, no one cried for him anymore, and he no longer had a family......
Liu Hu had already waited downstairs for a while, and when he saw him coming downstairs, he hurriedly opened the car door for him.
As soon as Hou Jingcheng stepped into the car, he couldn't help but look back at the old unit building. Finally, I closed my eyes and got into the car.
When the car started, he dared to open his eyes and lean his head on the seat.
Raising his hand, he untied the black bracelet on his hand and held it in the palm of his hand. There were still tears in the corners of his eyes.
Early in the morning, Grandma Hou got up and went out to buy breakfast.
When I got home, I looked at the door of my two children's room and smiled. I sat down on the couch, yawned a few times, and then closed my eyes and took a nap.
I don't know where there was a loud "bang", Grandma Hou was frightened, and she woke up from a dream and felt a tearing pain in her waist, and she accidentally flashed to her waist when she woke up just now.
Suddenly, she saw a raging fire flickering in the kitchen window, and Grandma Hou was startled, and before she could shout, there was another loud noise in her ears, and she struggled to get up from the sofa.
The noise was not from anywhere else, but from her kitchen, where the fire spread rapidly.
After a while, the whole living room was full of white smoke, and Grandma Hou covered her mouth, and when she was anxious to put out the fire, the pain in her waist became more intense, she retreated again and again, and fell on the sofa.
"Xiao Cheng, Sizhen!" Grandma Hou shouted in pain.
Sizhen heard the sound, disagreed, covered her head and continued to sleep, and then, she woke up in a daze, poked her head out of the quilt, the room was already covered with white smoke, and she was choked by the smoke and coughed.
She hurriedly rushed out of bed and opened the door, the white smoke had already confused her vision, and she only heard Grandma Hou's weak voice shouting.
"Xiao Cheng, Sizhen!"
Sizhen waved away the white smoke in front of him and responded, "Grandma! β
Sizhen followed the sound and turned to see that there was a raging fire in the kitchen, and the fire had spread to the living room.
Sizhen screamed and shouted, "Grandma! β
Sizhen covered her nose and looked for Grandma Hou, only to see Grandma Hou lying on the sofa. She hurriedly stepped forward to help her up.
"Grandma, what's wrong with you?"
Grandma Hou was choked and couldn't say a word, so she helped her go outside. She looked back and saw that Hou Jingcheng hadn't gotten up yet......
I only heard Grandma's weak voice say, "Xiao Cheng, Sizhen, Xiao Cheng hasn't gotten up yet?" β
Sizhen nodded, Hou Jingcheng's room is only separated by a wall from the kitchen, he is still up now, will he not be trapped inside? But the grandmother in front of me is again-
Just thinking about it, Grandma Hou pushed Lin Sizhen away with all her might, "Leave me alone, go see Xiao Cheng." Between the words, Grandma Hou was already choked.
Lin Sizhen was also frightened into tears by this sudden change, and the fire became more and more uncontrollable.
Sizhen didn't dare to hesitate. While crying and running to the door of Hou Jingcheng's room, as soon as she opened the door, the heat inside hit her, she took several steps back, she bent over and coughed heavily, barely opened her eyes to look inside the door, the inside was already shrouded in red mist, and the fire could be faintly seen.
Suddenly, her eyes widened, her body fell to the ground weakly, tears gushed out, her throat was hot and painful, she kept coughing, she blocked the powerful heat inside with her hands, stood up, walked in with difficulty, tore and shouted, "Wait for Jingcheng!" β
"Wait for the scene!"
screamed, but there was no response.
"Hou Jingcheng, you answer me."
Against the firelight, she felt that her face and hands were about to burn, she endured the pain, cried and shouted, "Hou Jingcheng, Hou ...... Scenery...... Cheng "
She coughed even more, her body completely lost her strength, and she gradually lost consciousness, she slowly collapsed on the edge of the bed, her eyes uncontrollably trying to close, but she couldn't!!
She reached out her trembling hand and touched the quilt on the bed, muttering, "You must not have-"
The fire engine had arrived downstairs, and the entire building was almost entangled in flames.
Grandma Hou covered her nose with her hands, her eyes staring at the room that had been engulfed in flames, tears flowing.
I saw that the door was opened, and Grandma Hou obviously felt that someone was ready to pick her up, and she used her last strength to push the incoming person, and the words were stuck in her throat and difficult to speak, she could only raise her trembling fingers inside, and she said intermittently by will, "Save them." β
The firefighter was stunned, only to see Grandma Hou's hand holding him, and she was calling him to save the people in the room.
The firefighter thought for a moment and let go of her.
Hurriedly rushed into the room, after glancing around, he saw the girl lying on the ground, he hurriedly picked her up, ran out to avoid the fire, and waited for grandma to see Sizhen being carried out in a daze, smiled happily, and it was time to close her eyes......
There were more and more onlookers, and there were several fire trucks and ambulances parked downstairs, only to see a firefighter rushing out of the fire with a dying girl, and the doctor immediately met to save the girl's life.
"Sizhen, I will always be by your side."
Waiting for the Sceneββ
Lin Sizhen opened her eyes suddenly, a strong white light pierced into her eyes, she closed her eyes again, and muttered in her mouth:
"Grandma......" Tears slipped from the corners of her eyes.
When she was picked up by the firefighters, Sizhen saw in a daze that Grandma Hou's figure was still in the vast sea of fire, she was still smiling, she was glad that her granddaughter was saved-
Lin Sizhen cried quietly. What about her brother and grandmother?
opened his tear-filled eyes, grabbed the hands of the people around him, trembled his lips, and said pausedly, "My brother...... Brother, and grandmother...... "
A gentle voice beside him comforted, "You lie down first, and they'll be fine." β
Sizhen tried her best to struggle, but the man helped her. "Little sister, don't move."
Sizhen weakly pushed her away and sat up.
She is now on a drip in an ambulance, and she can clearly see the chaos outside, and the firefighters are organizing to save people and put out the fire.
Sizhen raised her eyes to look at the building, the fire had engulfed the entire building, she only felt restless in her heart, and tears flowed down quickly.
"Sister, can you help me out and have a look?" Sizhen looked at the nurse beside her, and begged in a small voice, "I beg you, let me take a look." Between the words, the tears flowed faster, and she didn't have the strength to wipe them, and the tears left in her mouth only felt bitter.
The nurse was silent. Sizhen didn't care about it, her feet moved to the ground, who knew that she didn't have any strength at all, and the nurse hurriedly helped her when she was about to fall to the ground.
Seeing that she was so stubborn, the nurse had no choice but to agree to her.
Helped her out of the ambulance all the way.
It just so happened that several nurses came over pushing a bed, and the white cloth had covered the person on the bed.
Sizhen saw the man's hand hanging down on the bed. The old man still wears a red bracelet on his handβ
