Chapter Twenty-Five: The Baby of Fire in Blood
The exhausted second wolf ran away in the fire with his head down, and the broken feet of the bottles and bottles that he stepped on the ground were blistered. There was black smoke in front and behind, lime up and down, and rings of fire on the left and right. The sound of burning fires filled my ears.
Maybe he really didn't hear it, so he just buried his head and ran desperately in the "brazier".
"Hey, you let me down first!" The bell was louder this time, and even pinched his neck with his left hand, pulled his hair with his right hand, grabbed a few of them in his hand, shook the head of the second wolf, and rubbed his knees with his heels.
The second wolf was already running very fast, and his feet were like wind and thunder, and he was suddenly tossed by the bell, and he almost fell on the blanket between the corridors.
It just so happened that a red chandelier on the board was burned by the fire and broke the lines and fell off the top. Like a fireball, it passed in front of the second wolf, and the ball burned under his feet from a short distance of a few centimeters.
At the same time, the two wolves quickly shook their legs and forced them to stop. This time he was even more unsteady on his feet, and the soles of his shoes slipped and he fell sideways with the bell on his back.
The two of them were entangled on the ground and rolled awkwardly a few times, and their shoes, belts, hairpins and other messy clothing and ornaments were scattered all over the ground. When he got up, his two big and small faces were as black as a lump of coal.
The bell was so angry that his nose was red, he opened his feet and stood up and kicked the second wolf in the face, scolding like a shrew: "Your ears are blocked by a pig's tail, aren't you?" It's the same as a wooden fish nerd. ”
The second wolf had a black face, unkempt and barefoot, and was about to get up from the fire blanket. No, there is just a prefabricated board that has been burned into two layers of black linen just above the Tianling Gai, three meters long and two meters wide, which can just crush the entire body to death. After the steel bars supported by the four corners were bent by the burning fire around them, the whole broken and cumbersome stone slab smashed into the whole body of the two wolves like the top of Mount Tai.
As soon as the second wolf raised his head, before he could call out, it was pitch black. "Jump!" The bell hasn't reacted yet. The whole broken prefabricated board pressed the two wolves underneath from beginning to end, and they were afraid that they would become "meat patties".
It can be seen that the gap under the prefabricated board gradually flows out from the inside to the outside to the four sides, and under the baking of the fire, it dries into a black mark on the blanket in an instant.
Bell didn't know where to go with his two white feet and shoes, and he stared at the stone slab under his feet dumbfounded, as if he didn't see what had just happened, and only felt that his scalp seemed to be doused with boiling water.
The surrounding flames burned more and more, every door in the corridor was burned black, and the chandelier lines on the top were burned, and one after another was scattered in the ruins like a dense pile of falling meteorites.
The entire corridor, which was seven or eight feet long, was so entrenched in flames that it was impossible to find a crack to get out. The bell stands in the middle, like a roast chicken skewered on the grill in a bonfire, unable to advance or retreat, and has become a turtle in the urn.
Looking at the two wolves whose slate was crushed to the point of completely missing their limbs, his demeanor was even worse. But despite this, the bell only hesitated for a while, and didn't care about the life or death of the second wolf, put on his clothes, turned around, and tried to rush out of the fire.
As soon as he pulled out his legs, he was grabbed by a black hand exposed under the prefabricated slab, and then there was a miserable cry for help: "Sister...... Sister save me! ”
Bell was so startled by the sound that her heart jumped, and she twisted her neck to look down, only to see a dirty palm, her arm hidden under the board, pulling her five fingers and grabbing her ankle.
The bell wanted to go forward to save it, but the stone slab was so heavy that he couldn't move it. Then several bumpy stones and dust fell from the top, and sprinkled them on the bell's scalp, and his eyes were so smoked that he couldn't open them, and the floor under which he stepped on began to shake, as if the whole ceiling was about to collapse completely.
The bell should know very well in his heart that he can't go if he doesn't leave, and both of them have to die here, so in desperation, he had to let go of his hands, moved his body and kicked his legs to shake off the palm that was clenched at his wrist.
It's hard to imagine that the black palm is like grasping a life-saving straw, and it won't let go, but the bell can't be shaken off.
This is stomping and kicking, and after struggling for a while, I can't get rid of this stubborn palm.
At this moment, the rows of doors on both sides of the corridor were burned down one after another by the fire, and the beckoning cats standing in front of the doors were burned.
The hallway shook like it was about to be earthquaked, and the station was unstable. The bell had no other way but to touch his pocket, and at some point there was an extra fruit knife.
When I held it in my hand, there was still a piece of apple peel left on the knife, which was stained with rust. But he could barely use it, and as soon as he turned around, he stomped down on the wrist under the stone slab.
But the knife was very rusty, and it was cut several times, that is, two layers of skin were broken, and there was no effect at all. In a hurry, the bell picked up a stone from the side, threw it under the slab, and continued to smash it.
The thin layer of blood skin on that hand was smashed was full of holes, the palm of the hand was full of blood, the skin was worn out several layers, and the stones turned red, but the bones just kept going.
Until a sharp stone fell from the ceiling, and it just happened to fall on the black wrist, "bang"! Directly cut his hand in two, and the bell was able to get out.
As soon as he turned around, the fire had already burned in front of him, and the back was also hot, his body could not move at all, and he was completely surrounded into a "flame dumpling", the air had become thinner, and the bells were almost out of breath.
At this critical juncture of life and death, the bell looked back left and right, and found that the position he was standing in was in front of the door of room 003, and from time to time there would be a little girl's cry from that door.
Bell was in a desperate situation, and had no other way out, so he had to turn sideways and return to room 003. As soon as he entered the door, the stone slab completely collapsed, and the rubble passed by the bell's body.
After entering room 003, the bell who was lucky enough to escape was found to be as calm as water, and there was no sign of being burned by the fire at all, much cooler than the outside, although it was very dark, and no objects could be seen inside, but compared to the two spaces, it was a heaven and a hell.
In the room, the bell seemed to hear the girl's laughter again, this time laughing, laughing happily, feeling right next to him.
The bell touched the wall with both hands, and with the help of his senses, he walked step by step towards the place where the sound came from. She touched it with her hand, touched a switch button, and subconsciously pressed it lightly with her hand, and the light in the room turned on.
However, the brightness was not clear, but there was a faint light that shone on the wall, reflecting the figure of the bell.
The laughter still did not stop, and the bell looked back and found that the girl in the blue dress she had met before was sitting on the balcony with her back to her, her body shaking, and she felt that if she moved slightly, she would fall from the balcony to the downstairs.
When the bell saw it, she stared at her for a long time, and the girl sat on the balcony humming a nursery rhyme in her throat and carrying a doll on her shoulder.
The bell calmed down and walked over, feeling desolate with every step, especially the vest, which was as cold and cold as if it were wet.
Approaching the girl, the bell said, "How are you?" ”
The girl didn't respond, and she didn't know if she heard it, and kept humming a ballad in her mouth, and her voice was very small.
Seeing that she didn't respond, Bell walked over and patted her on the shoulder, and asked again, "Hello, why are you here alone?" ”
The girl still didn't look back, and continued to face the window, looking up at the stars above.
The bell was about to take a step forward, but she didn't expect to see that the girl's dress was covered in blood, and the doll was the same, and there was only one foot, and there were several worms crawling on the neck.
The bell was about to step back when two words suddenly came out of the girl's mouth: "Mommy! ”
The voice was so sharp that it almost punctured his ears, and the bell took several steps back, covering his ears with his hands, and his expression was very uncomfortable.
The girl suddenly laughed again, and slowly, holding the balcony with one hand, twisted her neck in the direction of the bell.
First there was a rotten ear, and there was a black worm crawling next to the ear, and when she turned to the side of her face, there was a hole in her cheek that made her chin impossible to see.
When the bell saw it, he closed his eyes and fled back, running towards the door.
"Sister, where are you going?"
After hearing this voice, she didn't know why, so she stopped again. Squinted his eyes and looked over.
On the balcony stood a dark shadow, not tall, about a meter, as if waving at the bell.
Bell rubbed her eyes, looked in the direction of the balcony, turned and walked back, closer to the balcony, closer and closer to the girl, and slowly saw her appearance clearly.
He didn't look as scary as before, with a smile on his face, a small red schoolbag on his back, and a doll standing stiffly in place.
Bell looked at her and asked, "Who are you?" Why is it alone here? ”
The girl walked over with a smile and looked at her like that, laughing all the time, and after three laughs in a row, she would stop until she reached the bell.
"Little sister? What are you doing here?"
The girl pointed in the direction of the gate and whispered three words: "Find Mommy!" ”
"And where is your mother? Can you tell me about it? Maybe my sister can help you. ”
The girl shook her head slightly, and without speaking, she walked directly under the red couch, jumped on it, sat down, and put the doll in her hand aside.
The bell followed, and sat down next to the girl, and just watched her all the time.
The girl suddenly turned around and said with a smile, "Do you have anything to ask?" “
"Of course there is, but don't you have to find your mother first?"
The girl reached out and picked up the remote control on the table, turned on the TV, picked up a wine bottle from the table, filled the quilt, took it in her hand, and put it to her mouth.
When the bell saw this, he quickly snatched the wine glass, put it aside, and said, "Children can't drink." “
The girl took the doll on the sofa in her hand again, looked back at its head, and said, "It's not that I want to drink, it's the doll that wants to drink." “
"It's going to drink? Will it drink? “
"Of course it will, you see, it has teeth and a mouth, and it has a stomach in its stomach, and it likes to drink it the most, and I feed it every day."
Bell looked at the doll in the girl's hand, especially the red gauze on her face, which she never forget. The mouth looked dirty, as if it hadn't been cleaned in a long time, and he looked up at the girl again and said, "Where's your mother?" “
The girl pointed to the sofa below and said, "She's under the sofa, asleep, hiding, I haven't found her for a long time." “
At this time, the screen of the TV suddenly flashed and lit up automatically, and the two looked back to see that the screen showed a house, which looked very shabby, old and dirty, and was almost about to collapse.
A motorcycle was parked at the gate of the house, and a cement steel bar was inserted into the motorcycle, and at this time, a big man came out of the gate, and he was in the car.
Bell stared at the screen on the TV, turned back to the girl and asked, "What is this person doing?" “
The girl said, "He's going to kill my brother!" “
The bell turned his gaze to the TV again, and another kitchen appeared on the screen, and a middle-aged woman appeared in the kitchen, holding a kitchen knife in her hand, chopping vegetables on the cutting board, and her fingers were chopped off, but she was still hiding there, and there was blood under the stove, and it was almost a pool of blood.
The girl on the red couch suddenly laughed, and it was the same three times.
Bell heard the girl's laughter, looked at her and asked, "What are you laughing at?" “
The girl didn't speak, just looked at the screen of the TV and laughed, all her energy focused on the TV.
The bell looked at the TV again, and the screen suddenly jumped again, and it showed a boy wearing a red hat on his head, holding a leather ball and slapping it several times, and the boy's face was staring at the screen all the time.
The lights around her became darker, and the bell sat on the couch, her limbs feeling desolate, as if she was sitting alone on the couch, and the laughter of the girls around her suddenly stopped.
Bell looked back, and there was no one on the sofa, and she was the only one sitting on the sofa. At this time, the last screen in the TV is presented, which is a red sofa, there are five people sitting on the red sofa, two standing on the armrests, and two sitting on both sides of the sofa, these four people are the four in the previous photo, two men and two women, and there is one in the middle, this person is the bell.
Sitting outside the TV, the bell saw the same self sitting on the screen, his eyes were green, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly used his peripheral eyes to observe the situation around him, and found that there was indeed a man and a woman sitting around him, and there were two children standing on the armrest.
Bell was covered with sweat on her forehead, and the next second she quickly got up from the sofa, pulled her legs and ran out of the door, and ran to the door. Accidentally stepped on a leather ball, slipped and fell to the ground, and picked up his head.
When she got up, one foot stood in front of her, and when she looked up, it was a white-haired old woman, holding a cane in her hand and a steamed bun in her mouth, just standing still in place.
The bell continued to get up, and with a hand he pushed the old woman away. The old woman did not make any resistance, and as soon as her legs bent, she spread her crutches and fell to the ground sideways, and when she fell to the ground, her head suddenly separated from her body, and she rolled several times to the threshold.
"Ahh The bell screamed, turned and rushed out the door.
When I came to the hallway, it was already in ruins outside, the ground was full of stones, the glass shards were messy, and the whole bar was burned to the ground, and the bell carefully stepped on the debris of the ground and walked out into the street.
When she looked back, the stone wall had collapsed and was out of shape.
"Dididi"
The horn of a car sounded in the street, and when the bell looked back, it was a taxi, and the face of the white-haired old man came out of the window, and he waved at her again and again, and said to her, "Girl, come quickly, come to the car, and I will take you to a place where you want to go the most." ”
Bell didn't think much about it, smiled at him, and walked to the car door, and when he opened the door, he saw that the body of the guy who sold fritters before was still in the car, but his skin was dry, and it looked like a dead shell.
On the churros's neck, there was also a fruit knife with a piece of apple peel left on the knife, which made Bell suddenly remember the fruit knife he had touched in his suit, and when he touched it in his pocket, the fruit knife was gone.
The white-haired old man smiled at her and said, "Get in the car, girl, if you don't come up, I'm leaving."
The bell said, "Got it, I'll get in the car now." ”
The bell kicked the corpse away, sat in the car, and slammed the door shut, "Bang! "There was a bang.
"You lighten up, the lid of the coffin is about to be lifted by you."
"I have a question for you, how do you know I'm here and whose suit it is."
"I can tell you the second question, I gave you the suit, if I don't give it to you, will it be left for the dead?"
The white-haired old man started the engine on the car, pressed the throttle to the extreme, and the car shuttled quickly through the street. Cars still come and go on the street, but this one is a taxi that walks directly through the wall, and even if it drives into the river, it will not sink.
The car drove all the way to a small alley, which was flanked on the left and right by old houses from the seventies and eighties. A few crows flew over and pulled a bubble of on the roof of the car. At this time, the car stopped in an inconspicuous house.
The bell looked left and right through the window and asked, "What is this place?" ”
"This is your home, your home when you were alive, have you really forgotten everything?" The white-haired old man twisted the lock, opened the door, and got out of the car.
The bell rang for a while, and then I got out of the car, the air here was fresh, and there were tall plane trees everywhere.
The white-haired old man took out a photo from his pocket, handed it to the bell, and said with a cigarette in his mouth: "Look, isn't this you?" When I was a child, I grew up to be much more watery, but unfortunately I died early. ”
Bell stretched out his hand to take the photo, looked carefully at the little girl in the photo, felt very familiar, tied two small pigtails, looked up and asked, "But I don't remember, who is she?" ”
"This girl's name is Summer, but unfortunately she is not your current name, do you want to go into the house and take a look, there are toys from your childhood."
The white-haired old man spat out the cigarette butt in his mouth, turned and walked towards the house, where the bricks and tiles were festering and unformed. Even the iron gate was rusty.
The bell followed behind the white-haired old man, pushed open the iron gate, and walked into the house, where purple orchids were planted on both sides of the aisle, but there was no smell of flowers, but a smell of cat urine.
The white-haired old man took out a key, opened the door inside, pushed it open, and when he turned around, he said to the bell: "Do you remember, when you were young, you often liked to use cat urine to water flowers, and you were often beaten by your grandfather, and now your grandfather wants to beat you, but he can't beat you." “
The bell walked over to the flowers, plucked one of them, took it in his hand and sniffed it.
The white-haired old man stood by the door and glanced at her, smiled kindly, turned around and walked into the house.
The bell watched, and walked in with him, for he looked at the old man very kindly, as if he were a member of his own family, and whatever the white-haired old man said to her, she would do it uncontrollably.
After watching the meeting, the bell himself went inside, and came into the house, which looked very dusty, but the things were neatly placed, and it looked like no one had lived in it for many years.
The white-haired old man walked over and sat down on a sofa with a tea set on the table. He picked up a cup, which seemed to be filled with tea leaves, and when it was full, he drank a cup himself.
The bell took a few more steps into the room, and looked left and right at a number of rooms, one of which looked familiar, like his own room, and a string of golden bells hung on the door curtain.
"When you were a child, your favorite was the bell, and you often asked your grandfather to buy it for you, you may see that you have so many bells hanging on your body now, it's really nostalgic."
Listening to the words of the old man in white, the bell couldn't help but walk towards the door of the room, and when she walked outside, she pushed open the door, walked into the room, and looked left and right, and there were portraits pasted everywhere on the walls.
There was a bed in the middle, and the cup was dusty and dirty. The bell walked to the bed and patted the dust on it with his hand, and half a photo fell from the mezzanine of the quilt, only half of this photo, and the other half did not know where it went, and it was torn by hand.
Turning over the photo, there was half a face on it, very white and white, half of the eyebrows, it didn't look very old, the bell looked at it and said to himself: "Who is this person, why does it look so familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere, is this person me?" Is it really me? Why is it so familiar. “
