Chapter 12: The Viper's Letter
Zhao Ming has been regarded as a genius by others since he was a child, but in fact, he knows it himself, but he just likes to study. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Since he could go to elementary school, Zhao Ming has loved to study various chemical reagents, because his home is close to the chemical factory, and his parents are workers in the chemical factory, Zhao Ming often sneaks in to play.
But at the age of seven, he slipped through the evolution factory again, but this time, it really changed his life.
As usual, he slipped through the hole in the warehouse, which was his own secret world, which no one knew about, and no one came here, as if the warehouse had been abandoned, and it was said that it would be demolished soon.
However, there are still some residual chemicals that have not been removed, and it seems that they may be of little use and have no harm to the human body and the environment, so they have been left there and no one cares. But this became Zhao Ming's toy.
Zhao Ming was very scared at first, some strange bottles and cans would smell strange when opened, and Zhao Ming usually quickly covered them when he encountered this. Once Zhao Ming was curious, he couldn't help but open those galvanized iron barrels, and when he opened them, he found that the liquid inside had no color, but it had a taste, a strange smell that couldn't be said.
In order to see what was in it, Zhao Ming lit the lighter he was carrying. He stole it from his dad because he found that some liquids could turn into beautiful colors when heated.
But there was a loud "bang" in the distance, Zhao Ming was startled, and the lighter in his hand fell into the iron bucket. Before he could react, the entire iron bucket burned instantly, and the flames that rose in an instant were several meters high, and the firelight illuminated the entire warehouse, and the frightened Zhao Ming turned around and ran, running all the way home.
Zhao Ming remembered that there were a lot of such iron barrels in it, and he was very scared, so he didn't look back for a while, only to see people around him constantly going in the direction he came from. He couldn't hold back and looked back.
I saw the flames soaring into the sky, and the flames went straight into the sky with thick smoke. Before Zhao Ming could react, with a loud bang, Zhao Ming felt that he had been hit by a huge impact, his eyes turned black, and he rolled from the side of the road to the grass next to him.
When Zhao Ming woke up again, he found himself lying on the hospital bed, the people around him were crying silently, and the huge explosion of that day was playing on the TV.
I saw that the warehouse he usually went to was instantly razed to the ground with a loud bang, and the rising flames ignited the surrounding warehouses, and there was a tendency to burn the prairie in an instant, Zhao Ming was very scared, he didn't know if he would find out that all this was actually done by himself.
But the only thing he knew was that his parents died in the accident, and everything happened too suddenly, and his parents didn't escape.
Since that incident, he has become silent, rarely talking to others, this matter has become Zhao Ming's eternal secret, he blames himself, but he is also very afraid, he has no one to say, he sees the despair when his grandmother and grandmother cry uncontrollably, he sees the sadness when he comes out of the funeral, and he sees the solemnity when he sees the heavy mourning on TV. He knew that he might have done something really bad, albeit unintentionally, but someone had taken the consequences for him.
To Zhao Ming's relief and strangeness, the police have not come to the door, and the TV has not said what the cause of this major accident is, and has always said that the cause is still under investigation. Zhao Ming's hanging heart gradually let go of it over time, but a devil called self-blame has been hanging over Zhao Ming.
So Zhao Ming studied hard, trying to grind out the uneasiness in his heart, but the harder he worked, the better his grades were, and he felt terrible, he actually killed his parents.
With a guilty heart, Zhao Ming went to high school, he has always lived in his own world, his world is still gray, he is very afraid of contacting strangers, he always feels that strangers' eyes are full of doubt.
But in high school, he saw a girl, and her gaze towards Zhao Ming was full of flavor, that is, "We are the same kind of people." ”
Zhao Ming first felt that his world might find some light, so he subconsciously got closer to understand the girl, he knew that her name was Zhong Yan, he knew that her grades seemed to be good, he wanted to talk to her, but he was very afraid, he was afraid that as soon as he opened his mouth, he would reveal that he was once a demon who killed people and set fires.
But one day after school, Zhao Ming stayed on duty, because of his silence, the classmates threw the most difficult and troublesome work to Zhao Ming, and Zhao Ming never complained, it seemed that if he did more things, he would be less guilty.
What he never expected was that Zhong Yan would come to him on that day.
He was both excited and scared, and looked at Zhong Yan for a while, not knowing how to speak. But Zhong Yan didn't wait for her to speak, and said a word first, which made Zhao Ming shocked and frightened.
"Ten years ago, you planted that fire, right?"
"You, you" Zhao Ming opened his mouth wide, looked at Zhong Yan in astonishment, he couldn't say a word, he thought he had escaped, he had escaped from the fire, but he didn't expect the past to still look for the door like a devil.
"Don't be nervous, I'm not a cop." Zhong Yan shook her head, revealing her beautiful cheeks, "I know you put it because I was also at the scene at the time, and I saw you running out of the south warehouse in a panic, and then the warehouse behind you caught fire." Speaking of which, I was also a victim of that accident. With that, she ruffled her hair, revealing the scar on her neck.
Zhao Ming just glanced at it, and he became afraid, what a terrible wound this was, extending from the neck to the shoulder and submerging into the clothes, the wound on the neck was particularly deep, it should have been injured by some sharp weapon in the explosion, and what spread was burns, terrible large-scale burns.
"Do you want to see better?" Zhong Yan deliberately stopped and lifted her hair higher, "You can come closer and take a look." ”
Zhao Ming felt that her voice had a kind of magic, as if her brain was out of control, and before her brain could think about it, her body had already leaned over and leaned towards Zhong Yan's neck.
What he didn't expect was that as soon as he came over, Zhong Yan put his arms around Zhao Ming's neck, and his head was covered by Zhong Yan's scattered hair in an instant, Zhong Yan just hugged Zhao Ming and blew lightly in his ear.
For a moment, Zhao Ming felt that his whole person seemed to be burning, Zhao Ming, who had never had much contact with others since he was a child, was undoubtedly too stimulating for him.
"Don't be nervous, I actually had something going on at the chemical plant that day." Zhong Yan whispered in his ear, Zhao Ming felt that his ears seemed to melt away, smelling the unique smell of the girl, Zhao Ming felt that he was gradually letting down his guard against this girl, "It's just that you don't know, you can't be blamed for that fire, you think about what you ignited, with your knowledge of chemistry, you must have studied it." ”
Zhao Ming's heart moved, he did carefully investigate what he accidentally ignited back then.
"Xylene, I heard a bang, the lighter in my hand accidentally ignited xylene, I really didn't know what it was at the time, this, I really can't blame me." Zhao Ming didn't dare to move, and said like wood.
"Do you think xylene is so powerful that it can blow up a warehouse in an instant?" Zhong Yan's voice was in his ear, and he said slowly, "You said that you accidentally ignited it by mistake, so how can you be blamed for this incident?" After speaking, he hugged Zhao Ming tighter, as if he wanted to hug him into his arms.
Zhao Ming felt that something was broken in his heart, and all the emotions poured out in an instant, and in this girl, Zhao Ming even felt the taste of his mother many years ago. A kind of tolerance, after so many years, someone finally tore through the gloomy sky in his heart like light, let him know the warmth, and he understood that he couldn't do without this person.
"Yes, xylene is the product of the substitution of two hydrogen on the benzene ring by methyl group, generally in the factory, xylene is mixed by o-, mit, and p-three isomers, and the iron drum specification for storage is 180kg per barrel, I remember there are only a few barrels, it is impossible to have that much power." Zhao Ming's voice unconsciously became louder, and he even wanted to shout out the last sentence, wanting everyone to know.
"Then what are you worried about? What are you blaming yourself for? Zhong Yan's voice was very gentle, like a lamb on the way, "So you don't have to worry, from now on, maybe others can't accept it, but I will accept you, no matter what the situation, I will believe you." ”
Zhao Ming's heart moved slightly, and tears couldn't help but flow out, after so many years, someone finally chose to believe him, and he was such a gentle girl.
"So," Zhong Yan didn't stop talking, "can I ask you for a little favor, I know you're the first prize in the National Physics Competition." ”
"What's busy." Zhao Ming thought to himself that even if he went up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire, he had to do it for the sake of this person.
"Then listen up." Zhong Yan laughed and blew in his ear, like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter and baring its fangs.
