Chapter 1: Bathing in Fire
Xiaoyang Town, dilapidated and quiet, the summer sun is swaying wantonly in the sky, but the people in the town are light and light, and even feel a trace of cold, I don't know when it began, it has become a good place to escape the heat, but it is not suitable for long-term residence, because the cold will continue to erode people's bodies, this kind of cold is not like the kind that comes from outside the body, you can add clothes to make a fire to drive away the cold, this cold seems to come from the depths of the soul, unpredictable.
There were bursts of laughter and laughter from a small three-story western-style building, bringing a touch of vitality to this tranquility.
"Nowadays, there is no man who is reliable, and he looks honest when he is down, once he is developed, which one is not addicted to wine?" A fashionably dressed young woman shook the wine glass in her hand and leaned on the sofa bewitchingly.
"Hey, hey, hey...... , Sister Hua is thinking of a negative man again. A girl with a ponytail was holding Sister Hua's hand and pushing it, her face was delicate and lovely, and she was overflowing with happiness when she talked and laughed.
"Xiaoxue, you have to be scared, and when your heavenly brother hugs other women, you will cry, but don't blame Sister Hua for not reminding you. Sister Hua took a sip of wine and said lightly.
A woman in a black dress sat dignified on the sofa on Sister Hua's oblique side, a trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes, but she was quickly covered by a disguised smile, her fingers rubbed her sleeves and smiled: "Sister Hua is a person who has come over, it can be said that she has read countless people, and what she said still has a certain truth." ”
"No, Brother Tian is not that kind of person, I think, you just can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, I believe Brother Tian. ”
Xiaoxue said with a pout.
Sister Hua: "It's not easy, just try it and you'll know, I don't know if you dare." ”
Xiaoxue asked curiously, "How do you try this?" I still believe that Brother Tian is not the kind of person you said. ”
A hint of cunning flashed in the eyes of the woman in the black dress: "Xia Xue, you won't be afraid, right? That's right, in fact, men, not all of them are like that, it's good to know." ”
Xiao Xue frowned: "Sister Hua, how do you say you want to try?" It's not that I don't believe Brother Tian, I just want to prove to you that our relationship is not what you think." ”
......
On the Dongtong Expressway leading to Xiaoyang Town, a white car crossed like a meteor, and a handsome man in the car held the steering wheel with both hands, with a trace of panic in his clear eyes, his face was slightly pale, and his right foot stepped on the accelerator as if he wanted to fly to Xiaoyang Town.
Tianyu just received a call from his girlfriend Xia Xue, Xia Xue's voice on the phone was very panicked, and hurriedly said that she saw someone murdering someone on the edge of the abandoned tile factory in Xiaoyang Town, and was found by the perpetrator, and then hung up the phone, and then she couldn't be contacted.
On the road to the abandoned tile factory in Xiaoyang Town, a white car stopped with a sound of "squeak~~~z~~~", and the door was kicked open with a "bang".
Tianyu got out of the car to inspect the six-story abandoned tile factory, where smoke was curling from the windows on the third floor, and a man in black peeked out from time to time to look left and right, all of which were strange.
The factory had never been inhabited since it had been abandoned, and the man in black's actions had given Tianyu a gut feeling that there was something unspeakable here.
Tianyu no longer hesitated, found a place in the back corner and sneaked into the factory, came to the third floor of the smoke, tiptoed to the door of the smoking room, and secretly looked in through the crack in the door.
It was a mess inside, with garbage and paper littered on the floor, and against the corner, a woman in jeans was tied to a chair with a hood on her head, and she couldn't see her face.
Tianyu suddenly felt nervous in his heart, and couldn't help but be a little excited, it seemed that his intuition was not wrong.
There was also a man in black pacing back and forth with a cigarette in his mouth, as if waiting for something.
Tianyu was thinking anxiously at the door, the door was a little far away from the corner, and if he broke in from the door, he would definitely be discovered, and now the only way was to wait for the man in black to suddenly rush in and subdue him when he approached the door.
Tianyu took a deep breath and stared at the movements of the man in black like a hunter.
"Di Di ......" Suddenly a string of mobile phone ringtones broke the silence, Tianyu secretly said damn it, I don't know who called, the matter has come to this point, it seems that I can only fight hard.
"Who's—who's out there?" shouted the man in black in panic as he picked up the iron rod by the wall.
Tianyu took out his mobile phone, slammed the door with a kick, and quickly threw the mobile phone at the head of the man in black, and the person followed to kick to the edge of the door frame, and rushed towards the man in black with his strength.
The man in black screamed miserably, covering the bridge of his nose with his left hand, and slashing his head and face with an iron rod with his right hand.
Tianyu was happy in his heart, what he was most afraid of was that the man in black would be desperate to take hostages, and it would be much more difficult to save people by throwing a rat bogey.
Tianyu grew up in an orphanage since he was a child, relying on his own set of fighting skills to become the child king of the orphanage step by step, and his adaptability and physical flexibility are superior, only to see him slightly turn sideways to dodge the attacking iron rod, and his right elbow slammed into the chest of the man in black.
Before the man in black could react, his body had been thrown backwards and flew out, and he fell on all fours with a "clang".
Tianyu didn't hesitate at all, he stepped forward and stepped on the right hand of the man in black holding the iron rod, knelt down on the chest of the man in black with his right knee, picked up his fist and hit the left cheek of the man in black, and the whole set of actions was done in one go, and the man in black was knocked unconscious before he even had time to shout.
Tianyu hurriedly picked up the mobile phone and came to the tied woman, stretched out his hand to uncover the woman's hood, and after uncovering the hood, Tianyu's expression instantly froze, "You...... Why aren't you Cher?"
"Hmm...... Not...... Not. The messy hair covered half of the tied woman's face, but it was still difficult to hide the outstanding face, the panicked eyes were full of pleading, and the mouth was sealed with duct tape, and she could only make a mumping sound.
Tianyu frowned and tore the tape off the woman's mouth.
"Please, save me. Although the woman didn't see what had just happened, the sound she heard and what she saw now made her quickly understand what had just happened.
Tianyu was a little disappointed in his heart, he had seen the woman in front of him on TV, a youth idol star, who had acted in several very popular TV series, but for some reason he was tied up here, since he ran into nature, he couldn't turn a blind eye, hurriedly untied the rope that tied the woman, and asked anxiously: "What about Xue'er?"
"I don't know, I ......," the woman said abruptly as she heard a conversation not far outside the door.
"Hurry up, Zhang Laosan is really not reassuring to look at alone, this guy has always been very colorful, not to mention that this meat ticket is not ordinary. A rugged male voice rang out.
"Tut-tut...... , Brother Wang, don't worry, Zhang Laosan, this guy has always been colorful, and even if he wants to play, he doesn't dare to play in front of Brother Wang. A man with a thin voice answered.
"Hahahaha....... The crowd laughed in unison.
......
"Trust me. Tianyu didn't say too much nonsense, gave the woman a positive look, and then quickly tied the rope that had just been untied to the window beam, opened his hand, and threw a look at the woman.
"Hmm. The woman didn't ask what to do, like a kitten that had only been hurt, and without much hesitation, she hid in the crook of Tianyu's arm and clutched Tianyu's clothes tightly.
Tianyu casually wrapped his head on his right hand and wrapped a few layers of rope to hold the rope, hugged the woman tightly with his left hand, stepped on the stool and jumped onto the window, and then kicked off the window sill, and his body quickly fell down.
Before the woman came back to her senses, her body had already fallen into the air, and she looked up at the man who jumped off the third floor with her in her arms with her mouth slightly open, her face was angular, and there was no trace of panic in her confident and clear eyes, and the woman's originally panicked heart quickly calmed down as if it was infected.
Soon fell to the ground, Tianyu toe on the ground a little, his body fell forward, his left hand flipped hard, put the woman above him, his right hand lightly pressed the ground as a cushion, his back hit the ground, and the woman's head hit his chest hard.
Tianyu snorted and said, "Are you okay?" ”
The woman rolled aside shyly, straightened her hair and slowly stood up, her eyes dodging and not daring to look at Tianyu.
Tianyu supported the ground with his right hand, knelt alone and slowly stood up, stretched out his hand and pointed to the location where he parked, looked at the anxious woman and said: "That is my car, you go to the car first and wait, you take this mobile phone, remember to call the police, I have to go back to save someone." ”
"No, I'm ......" The woman was afraid of being alone, she didn't think about why she had become so timid.
"No, no, no. Tianyu interrupted the woman's words, stuffed the mobile phone to the woman, and walked directly to the staircase of the tile factory.
The woman looked at the slowly disappearing back in front of her, her eyes were confused for a while, and finally she stomped her foot with her mobile phone, turned around and ran to the parking position.
The woman returned to the car, took out a deep breath, took out her mobile phone and dialed the 110 police number, briefly informed the situation here, and then stared at the door of the tile factory, expecting the appearance of the figure.
The phone rang "Di Di ......", the woman looked at the screen showing the call of "Xue'er", she knew that the purpose of the man's coming here seemed to be for this person named Xue'er, so she hurriedly pressed the answer button and put the phone next to her ear.
I only heard a crisp female voice on the phone: "Brother Tian, where are you now?"
"He's in the tile factory now, he should be looking for a guy named Xue'er, he's dangerous now, there are a lot of bad people in it. ”
"I'm Cher, who are you? I'll go over right now. ”
......
Tianyu came directly to the third floor of the tile factory, and he knew that once the kidnappers knew that the matter was exposed, it was very likely that the dog would jump off the wall in a hurry, so he had to rescue Xue'er as quickly as possible.
There was a violent and anxious roar coming from the kidnapping room, Tianyu didn't plan to secretly save people, time may not allow, a little more delay, Xue'er's danger would increase by one point, so he kicked the door open.
The seven arguing men inside the door instantly fell silent and stared at the door in panic.
"Brother Wang, it's him, it's him who knocked me unconscious. The man in black had been woken up at some point, blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth as he spoke, and his eyes staring at Tianyu were both angry and panicked.
Tianyu's expression was very indifferent, and he looked directly at the man named Brother Wang and said, "Did you also arrest a girl and let her go, I can not hinder you from running away, the police should come soon." ”
The man named Brother Wang clenched his fists, and when he saw that there was no helper behind Tianyu, he instantly exploded his watch angrily and yelled: "Let your sister go, brothers, kill him and then run away." ”
......
After a burst of ping-pong crackling, six of them had fallen on the ground, and there were screams all over the ground, and only Brother Wang was left alone to lean on the corner of the wall, panting and breaking out in a cold sweat.
The siren outside whined, Brother Wang knew that today was completely planted, he didn't expect that the somewhat emaciated man in front of him was so good, looking at Tianyu who was slowly walking over, he suddenly had a crazy idea in his heart.
He is a repeat offender, and if he is caught again, he will probably spend his life in prison, so it is better to gamble like crazy.
I saw him quickly run to the place where they usually cooked, opened the burning gas stove, and threw the wine and oil bottles next to him into the fire.
With the help of wine and oil, the fire spread rapidly, and two gas canisters more than one meter high were placed next to the wall, which were also quickly surrounded by flames, Brother Wang immediately ran to the window after doing this, and said with a smile: "Hahaha, the person you are looking for is in that compartment, you have the ability to save it, hahaha." ”
After saying that, he jumped up to the window and jumped straight down.
Brother Wang's strange behavior just now surprised Tianyu a little, so he didn't stop it at the first time, and now he finally knew Brother Wang's intentions, and it was actually the idea of burning jade.
He didn't notice until now that there was really a compartment there, the door was chained, and next to it were two gas canisters, which were surrounded by fire at this time, and it was estimated that they would explode soon, and if there were people in the compartment, the fate could be imagined.
He didn't have time to hesitate, he quickly rushed to the sea of fire, he didn't know if his clothes were burning, he grabbed the first gas canister that was already burning around him, walked a few meters away from the compartment and then threw it farther away, only to hear a "boom" explosion, and a huge wave of air threw Tianyu out of the whole person.
Tianyu, who was floating in the air, felt a buzzing in his ears, and then he couldn't hear any other sounds, and there was a tearing sensation in the muscles on his body, and his brain was like a pot of boiling water, wanting to squeeze his braincase.
He felt a rapid loss of consciousness, but he knew he couldn't be cowardly now, because he saw another gas canister in the corner.
He struggled to keep his eyes open, and with all his strength he could retrieve his hands from his uncontrollable feet, he slammed into the ground, and then ran to the gas tank by the wall again, grabbing the gas canister's ears and lifting it.
He couldn't hear the "snort" anymore, and he didn't care about the smell of burning muscles, and took two steps into the fire, two big steps, and then he saw the gas canister in his hand shatter, leaving a sea of red.
He wanted to get out of here, but he couldn't feel his feet, he didn't even know where his hands went, he knew, he was probably going to die, he wanted to look back at the cubicle, and the "she" in the cubicle, but he couldn't, the scorching heat instantly burned his hair and cracked his lips, but the corners of his eyes became more and more moist, he thought, the next second was probably going to die, one second was very short, a flick of his fingers, a second was also a long time, it could remind him of all the good.
"Hey, why do you always skip school. ”
"I want to make money. ”
"Didn't your parents give it to you? You're still a student. ”
"I ...... There are no parents. ”
"Right...... I'm sorry, if you don't have time, you can make up the lesson, I can give you the make-up fee. ”
......
"Why did you beat them so badly, the last time I saw them bullying you, you didn't fight back. ”
"They can bully me, but they can't bully my woman. ”
"You're not ashamed, I didn't promise to be your woman. ”
"Then I'll help you say yes now. ”
"How can you be so domineering. ”
......
"Brother Tian, we will also have such a place in the future, with flowers, fruit forests, and ponds. ”
"Well, if you like it, you will definitely have it, and we will have our children. ”
"Okay, okay, let's take them to catch butterflies, and then we draw it, and it's just a lifetime. ”
"If you like it, you can. ”
......
Tears and blood dripped to the ground, and turned into a cloud of green smoke in mid-air, disappearing, he was not afraid of anything before, even if he died, it was just an ordinary word for him, because he had no concern, and then he was afraid, he was afraid that she would be unhappy, he was afraid that she would be hurt, but that feeling was really sweet.
His eyes looked at the sea of fire, no, he looked at the endless sea of stars farther behind the sea of fire, he wanted to see the ruler of this vast universe, and he wanted to greet him cordially, "you".
He felt that his soul and body were rapidly tearing apart, and gradually he could no longer feel his body, and gradually he felt that he was out of the fire and into a world of ice and snow, freezing him and burying him.
......
The captain of the police dialed the 119 line, and the fire engine should arrive soon.
In another corner, a red car was parked next to a white car, and four women stood beside the car, all with their mouths open in panic, looking at the smoke bubbling from the third floor of the tile factory.
The two explosions just now frightened the nearby residents, and one by one they ran out and talked about each other.
......
At that moment just now, Xia Xue felt as if her heart had been slashed fiercely, as if a piece of meat had been cut off, and it became no longer complete, tears dripped like rain, and her body trembled gently.
Sister Hua glanced at Xia Xue obliquely, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she wanted to step forward to comfort her, but in the end, she didn't think of saying anything good, so she turned into a sigh and lowered her head deeply.
The woman in the black dress was pale, leaning against the car door decadently, with a hint of self-deprecation and remorse at the corners of her mouth.
The woman in jeans felt very irritable in her heart, she wanted to cry, but looking at Xia Xue who was crying next to her, she knew that she didn't seem to be qualified to cry.
She knew everything now, it turned out to be just a joke, a joke that saved her from death, a joke that made him willing to die.
Should she be glad? She took out the mobile phone he gave and dialed her assistant's number, she didn't know why she remembered to find her assistant now, she rubbed the phone he gave, her vision blurred, she was an excellent actor, but now she couldn't play that indifference.
......
Since the explosion of the tile factory, Xiaoyang Town can no longer be used as a summer resort, the sun is poisoned, like other places, people's clouds and breezes are gone, one by one is hot into dogs, and they are eager to stick their tongues out.
