Chapter 1 Team 7 / Yang Jiandong Line

"Qiqi!" Covering my nose, I rushed madly into the villa, which had been reduced to a sea of flames, and the scene in the villa was terrible, and everything I knew by name was burning. The curtain on the door, the fig tree in the yard, the rag by the sink, the plastic carport cover with the battery car parked, all the things that have been with me for decades are burning and struggling in the fire, I feel my feet trembling, a feeling of wanting to vomit surging in my throat. I feel this way every time I'm emotionally stimulated, and it's something that only someone who has experienced the ups and downs of emotions firsthand.

"Brother! Don't go in...... I'm afraid it's too late! ”

I rushed towards the inner door of the villa like crazy, but Yuezi also rushed in and grabbed my arm.

"Go away! Go away! Confinement, you let go! Let go of my hand and hear? I desperately shook off the confinement of his hands, but the confinement hugged me tightly, with his head on my back, crying:

"Brother, it's too late, it's really too late......!"

"Let go!" I yelled, turned around, and pushed away the confinement child, at that moment, I saw the condensed tears on the confinement face, my whole body was stunned, I have never seen such a heartbroken expression on the confinement face.

Never.

My heart ached, and looking at Yuezi's sad face, I felt like a knife was slashing on my heart.

"I'm sorry, Yuezi......" I said sorry to Yuezi softly, and then ignored her shouts, and continued to pull my legs and rush into the fire as if desperately. I rushed all the way into the burning villa, and the hall on the first floor had turned a fiery red, with sofas, wooden tables, cups and plates, coffee tables, and televisions...... All the things I had fond memories with Xueqi, Yuezi, and others were burning like crazy. These things, each of which carries the most important memories for me, have become an integral part of my life, I see them every day when I go home, and I even feel that it is already a habit for me, and it is a matter of course, even if I go home tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, next month, next year...... Even until the day I die, they will not change, they will still be so familiar, so kind, but it is only at this moment that I suddenly realize that nothing in this world is forever, and those things that you think will accompany you for a lifetime are so fragile that it only takes a simple fire to take away everything from you.

It's as simple as that.

So ridiculous.

It's so ridiculous that I want to cry.

"Qiqi! Qiqi! I covered my nose with one hand and shouted at the second floor.

But there was no response.

Upstairs was quiet, eerily quiet.

My heart sank, and countless terrifying images came to my mind, thinking of the scene where Xueqi was trapped in the sea of fire, and the flames slowly engulfed her. What happened to Qiqi? Is she still alive? Did she escape?

The fire spread from the first floor to the second floor, and the stairs were already full of fire, and the dense flames occupied the railing, leaving only a narrow gap in the middle, I took a deep breath, rolled up my trouser legs, wiped my saliva on my foot and neck, and then relentlessly and ran quickly towards the staircase!

I dodged the jumping flames and rushed desperately to the entrance of the corridor on the second floor, shouting Xueqi's name as I rushed back, but Xueqi never responded.

And the fire on the second floor was so big that I was desperate. Several rooms were already filled with flames, and fires erupted from the windows, burrowing out like demonic hands, blackening the ceiling.

I kicked open the confinement bedroom, and I saw that the bed, desk, and drawing board were all burned into charcoal, and the oil paintings that I had painted in the past few years had been covered with a white cloth in this room, but now they were burned to the point that they had no frames.

When I kicked the door open, the terrifying flames rushed out with a wave of qi, and if I hadn't dodged relatively quickly, I'm afraid I would have been affected. But I didn't see a figure in the room except for the burning bed and the portrait, and it seemed that Xue Qi was not in this room, but in her own room on the third floor. But when I looked up, I was a little desperate, the fire on the third floor was the largest, it had completely turned into a sea of fire, and I couldn't even see the slightest gap. My heart was beating violently, and a panicked feeling was biting my heart like a poisonous snake.

"Qiqi! Qiqi, are you upstairs? Qiqi! Did you hear that? Daddy is here! Qiqi! ”

I shouted over and over again, but each time I was more desperate than the next, had Xue Qi really been burned to death? Or is she in a smoke coma waiting for me to save her?

I don't know, but I can only hold on to the last bit of hope that she's still alive. No matter what, even if she dies, I will see her corpse, and if I don't see her corpse, even if I die, I will not be reconciled!

The smell of choking smoke drilled into my nostrils one by one, I felt like I was about to suffocate, and my eyes were black for a while, and I knew that if I continued to stay here, I would be choked to death if I didn't get burned, so I held my last breath and jerked my head up and rushed towards the third floor.

Qiqi, you must not be fine! I screamed desperately in my heart, praying, if I knelt down and begged God for mercy at this time to be saved, I was really willing to kneel for the rest of my life!

After all, I shrank my head and rushed into the fire on the third floor, and all I could see was fire, and I couldn't even tell where the steps were, where the railings, and where the aisles were. I saw that the door to my room on the third floor was burned, the lock was broken, and it was open, and I wanted to look inside, but it was full of fire, and I couldn't see anything at all.

I coughed violently twice, took three steps and two steps, and ran to the room at the end of the corridor with the burning heat on my trouser legs, which was Xueqi's room, but Xueqi's room was already full of fire.

The door to Xueqi's room was open, but nothing could be distinguished inside, because it was all fire, and the fierce fire had rushed out of the room and into the corridor outside the room. Xueqi's room has a wooden floor, which is the easiest to burn, and once it burns, it will really burn through the floor.

"Qiqi! Qiqi?! "I screamed in despair and ran desperately to the burning bedroom, my eyes aching from smoke.

I wanted to rush into Xueqi's room, but there was nothing to be seen inside.

"Qiqi...... Qiqi ......"

Tears rolled down my cheeks one by one, and I felt like the whole world was darkening, and I was completely stupid, and my legs fell limply, as if all the strength of my body had been unloaded, and there was no possibility of standing up again. I was stuck in my throat, vomiting violently, my mind was so dizzy that I couldn't even make out my direction.

I faintly heard the sound of the confinement calling me behind me, and I felt a pair of warm hands holding a wet cloth covering my nose to prevent me from inhaling the choking smell, but my brain was spinning rapidly, and I had lost my basic ability to discriminate, and even felt that the wet cloth on my mouth was more choking than the smell of smoke......

Before I fainted, the last thing I saw was the room that had been completely filled by fire, and a doll surrounded by flames on the high shelf of the room......

I don't know how many days I slept before I woke up, I just felt that I was in a state of waking up for a long time, like a dream, several times I felt that I had a splitting headache and wanted to wake up, but the whole person was weak, and I didn't even have the strength to move my fingers to say a word. I faintly heard people talking around me and people walking, but I just couldn't open my eyes, and my whole body was paralyzed as if I had been poisoned.

I struggled like this for I don't know how long before I opened my eyes, and when I first opened them, I was grateful that the ceiling was spinning, and my head was dizzy, and when my head was tilted to one side, it was even more dizzy, and if I turned in the opposite direction, it would be slightly better.

"Dad? Dad ...... "I heard Xue Qi calling me, I opened my eyes in a daze, and saw Xue Qi sitting next to my bedside table with a mobile phone in her hand, and when I woke up, I saw that she was visibly relieved.

And I looked at Xue Qi sitting in front of me in disbelief, and I felt like I was in a dream.

"Qiqi?" I immediately lifted the quilt and sat down on the bed, and then walked barefoot in front of Xueqi, as if Xueqi in front of me was fake, a very unreal air.

"Qiqi, are you okay? Didn't get burned? ”

I looked Xueqi up and down, looked at her neat bangs, looked at her without losing a little bit and me, then looked at her skin, looked at the backs of her palms, looked at her legs, until I was sure that she was really not injured at all, I sat back on the bed, and the whole person seemed to be relieved, and it was weak and weak.

"Dad, how are you feeling?" Xue Qi looked at me, two faint little eyebrows furrowed slightly, and asked me.

"It feels okay...... It's just a little dizzy, and my throat is uncomfortable...... "I rubbed my eyes, and found that the corners of my eyes were full of eye droppings, and there seemed to be something stuck in my throat, and I coughed and spit out a mouthful of phlegm, which was all soot.

"Qiqi, that day...... How did you get out? Aren't you at home? I looked at Xue Qi and asked excitedly.

Xue Qi looked at me and whispered:

"At that time, I thought that you wouldn't come back, Dad, and the floors below the villa were all on fire, so I ran to the water tank on the roof of the villa and hid inside, but fortunately the fire didn't burn there. Then James called a fire truck and used a lifelift to save me, and I was rescued by the firefighters, and then I was very dizzy and fell asleep. Later, I heard from Sister Yuezi and Jams that at that time, they both rushed into the house together and carried you out, Dad. They said Dad, you were fainted by the smoke from the fire......"

Xue Qi probably recalled the events of that day, and I realized that when I went to save Xue Qi, Xue Qi was hiding in the water tank on the highest floor of the villa, and the tap water at home was usually stored in that water tank, so Xue Qi thought of where to hide from the fire.

Xue Qi is much smarter than I thought.

"Oh, that's right...... Hehe, it's quite clever...... It's okay, Qiqi, really, Qiqi, it's okay if you're okay, you're okay, Dad is really relieved. ”

After recovering from the extreme tension, I was much more relaxed, but soon I thought of someone who was extremely important.

By the way, what about Wang Bin?

What about the arsonist Wang Bin?

My heart beat faster.

"By the way, what about the person who set the fire? Qiqi, what about the person who came to our house and set it on fire? "Thinking of Wang Bin, I have a sense of insecurity, if Wang Bin is allowed to be outside, he will continue to attack us sooner or later, thinking of this, my whole body is restless.

"Brother, he turned himself in." Yuezi's voice came suddenly, I was startled, turned my head, only to find that Yuezi was leaning on a bed on the other side of me, her body was covered with a blanket, and she was holding a fruit knife in her hand to peel an apple, I saw that Yuezi's eyes were dark for a small circle, it seems that she has not slept well at all in the past few days.

When I saw the confinement, my heart slowly calmed down, as if I was immersed in water.

"Yuezi, are you there...... Wang...... Did he turn himself in? What does he mean by that? I frowned, I couldn't believe my ears. How would someone like Wang Bin turn himself in?

But soon I figured it out, think about it carefully, what else can Wang Bin do besides turning himself in? Most of Wang Bin's accomplices have been arrested, the police are searching for him everywhere, and he has set fire to him, and there is no way to escape. Wang Bin dared to come to kill Xueqi, it is estimated that he originally came with the mentality of a dead fish and a broken net, and wanted to die with Xueqi. After he set the fire, he probably went directly to turn himself in, because if we all die, it is estimated that the world will be destroyed, and there is not much difference between him staying in prison and staying outside, so there is still food and drink in prison. When I thought about it, it suddenly dawned on me.

This Wang Bin is really desperate to do things.

But now that Xue Qi is not dead, and we have nothing to do, will Wang Bin find a way to escape from prison again to assassinate me and Xue Qi? I don't know, because no matter how fast the sentence is, it is impossible for Wang Bin to be sentenced to death within a month, and after a month, we don't know if we will be alive or not.

Wang Bin's move is really ruthless. If he's outside of prison, I'm going to get rid of him no matter what I do. But now that he's put himself in prison, it's impossible for us to go to prison and kill people, but prison has become his umbrella.

I grabbed the sheets so hard that I was shaking with rage.

The raging flames burned in my chest, and I really wanted to rush to Wang Bin on the spot, punch after punch, and beat him to death.

"Brother, don't worry. With the lesson of the last time, the police must have strengthened their guard, and it is impossible for Wang Bin to escape from prison again this time. Yuezi said softly to me, "As long as we're all okay." ”

"Daddy......" Xue Qi sat next to me, I saw that her eyes were red and swollen, and there were tears rolling in her eyes, and then she suddenly cried all of a sudden, and fell on my lap, crying loudly, and couldn't stop crying.

"Daddy...... The house burned down...... Things at home...... They were all burned...... All the stuff...... Not at all......"

As soon as Xue Qi cried like this, I suddenly remembered the villa that was completely burned to ashes, and I didn't even dare to go back to see the current condition of the villa. I'm afraid that when I go back and see the villa that has become a pile of charred ruins, and then think back to the warm villa I used to live in with Xueqi, the whole person will not be able to withstand the blow and collapse. Xue Qi must have gone home to see it, so she slept in the hospital room because she had nowhere else to go.

Suddenly, I had a kite with a broken string and no place to belong.

The fire-scorched villa has been with me for more than 30 years, I was born there, I grew up there, I matured little by little there, Xueqi also grew up there, and became a beautiful girl there, which was a symbol of our life, but now, this symbol, has collapsed with a bang.

There's no going back.

I remembered when I was a child, my father was on the sofa in the villa hall, reading the newspaper with Erlang's legs crossed, waiting for me to come back, and then said with a serious smile: "Jiandong, I'm back, how did you do in the exam?" ". I also thought of the scene when my mother grabbed my hand and cut my nails while holding my hand...... I also remembered the scenes when my cousin, uncle, and Aunt Xiaofang came to my house to be happy with my parents, but these scenes will never come back.

When I lost my dad and my mom, I felt as if I hadn't lost them.

In some corner of my heart, I always believed that they were just hiding in a corner of this villa, just in that place where I didn't look back, in the shadows that my eyes couldn't see, they sat quietly, looking at a newspaper, or a magazine, maybe when I turned around, they would look at them smiling at me with a teacup, or gently calling me, "Jiandong, how about we go out shopping together tonight to buy a set of New Year's clothes?" ”

But it wasn't until this moment, when even the villa, which was the last memory, was gone, that I felt like I had suddenly been beaten back to reality.

I'm like a chicken in the soup, and I can't find my way anymore.

Tears fell silently down my face, and I suddenly hugged Xueqi and cried heartbreakingly, more than I had ever done in my life.

But no matter how sad the past is, once it becomes a past, you will eventually forget it.

Maybe it's a day, maybe it's two days, maybe it's decades.

But you'll forget about it.

As long as you're alive.

I don't know how long I cried with Xueqi in my arms that day, until I calmed down, but my state of mind was also calm.

According to Yuezi, I lay down for three days, and Xueqi was in a coma for two days before choking on the fire, and when I woke up, there were only three days left before the end of the month.

What worries me even more is that Xueqi has missed her time to go to the United States. Fortunately, I received a notice from Harvard on the same day, telling the other party that after a few days of delay due to the fire at home, the other party allowed the postponement of Xueqi's trip.

But there was just a fire in the house, no matter what, at this juncture, it is impossible for her to let Xueqi go to the United States, and I know that she will definitely stay and spend time with me.

But Wang Bin is still in prison, Xueqi's progress is not yet full, and there will be greater risks in the future of the God Game, this time it brought me a fire, and I don't know what kind of crisis there will be in the future, what to say, I can't let Xueqi stay by my side anymore.

And in this world, there is only one person who can protect her, I know very well.

I have to let Xue Qi go, I have to let her be happy.

I was in a hurry to be discharged from the hospital, but Xueqi and Yuezi refused to let me be discharged, saying that they would let me do a physical examination, so that day, I fell asleep in the hospital again, and slept all night like that, and when I woke up, it was already the last third day.

On the day I was discharged from the hospital, Yuhui came, she already knew everything about me, and when she saw me, she didn't say a word.

As for the Public Security Bureau, because I was hospitalized, I directly asked people to record the confession, in fact, Yuezi and James had basically recorded the confession before, and I didn't need to add much. And this time, I said that I couldn't stay any longer, so I pulled Xueqi and was discharged from the hospital and went back to the villa directly.

When I saw the villa, it was as if I had suddenly fallen into an ice cellar, and it was cold to the bone.

The villa was completely unrecognizable, the balconies and railings were burned black, the door frames, door panels, and handles were all black and blurred, and there were all kinds of char on the ground that I couldn't distinguish.

In the hall, the sofas, wooden tables, coffee tables, televisions, and refrigerators were all charred black, as if they had been smeared with ink, and they were terrifyingly black.

"Brother...... We've checked it. Yuezi took my hand and tried not to let me look inside the villa, "There is nothing that can be used anymore." I've been contacted by the insurance company, and they'll pay for some of it. ”

Yuezi knew that I would be stimulated, so she deliberately pulled me away and didn't let me continue to look at the situation in the villa, I leaned against the door frame that smelled of burning, my chest rose and fell uncomfortably, and I felt as if my whole person had been hollowed out, Xueqi suddenly cried again, standing in the corner and wiping her tears. Ma Bailong also came, he stood at the door of the villa, staring blankly at the tragic scene of the villa, and did not say a word.

I glanced in the direction of the basement, and it was good that it wasn't scorched, and I had hidden the Book of the World there a long time ago.

Like an empty shell without a soul, I walked slowly to the basement, where I saw the basement as before, full of familiar miscellaneous items that could awaken my memories.

I breathed a long sigh of relief, and my empty brain began to fill up, as if looking for some kind of sustenance, I rushed into the pile of miscellaneous items as if I was dying, and after rummaging, I finally found the book of the world that I had stolen. The progress bar above shows the following:

99%。

It's just that little bit away.

I turned my head slowly and looked at Xue Qi and Ma Bailong standing behind me, Ma Bailong's hand was on Xue Qi's shoulder, and Xue Qi was leaning on Ma Bailong's chest.

In an instant, I realized what I had to do.

In the past when I was in a coma, Ma Bailong had always accompanied her. And I was asleep all the time, neither able to save her, nor able to do anything for her.

In the end, who should be the last person to be by her side, in fact, it is already clear.

"Let's go, there's nothing to see." In the end, I barely bothered myself and took the Book of the World to Yuezi, who looked at the book in my hand, breathed a sigh of relief, and then silently accepted it.

I urged Xueqi and James to leave together, and Frexiu had been following us like a pet, and he hadn't said a word for the past few days, and seemed to know that I was in a very low mood and shouldn't be playing tricks at such times.

For a long time, I didn't plan to go back, and even if I had to rebuild it, I didn't plan to do it right away. What's more, I have already taken a temporary leave of absence from the company, and I don't want to stay in the city anymore.

At noon, we got together for a meal and discussed our plans for the future.

"Well, let's do it, I still have two houses in Anhui, which my father gave me at the beginning, these days, we can go to Anhui to live for a while, and then come back after the maintenance of the villa is done." I made a decision at the dinner table, "Wang Bin is now in prison, and there are no more safety risks." It's a little bit of reconstruction, and it takes a little time to do it, but you can get it done slowly. As for Qiqi, the start of school for you and Ma Bailong has been delayed for a few days, and it can't be delayed any longer, you must go to the United States before the end of the month. ”

Hearing my words, Xue Qi couldn't believe her ears and looked at me, and I saw her eyes wide open, as if she had heard a ghost story.

"Dad, what are you talking about? ...... I go to the U.S. at this time? ”

I sighed and said, "It's been a few days since Harvard, and in a few days you're going to miss the time to report, you have to go, and this is an opportunity for you." House, this is a matter of a few months, but your future, it is a matter of years, decades, or even a lifetime, and cannot be delayed. ”

Xue Qi frowned tightly, as if she couldn't believe that I would say such an inappropriate thing at such a time, but Yuezi, Yuhui and James all knew what I meant.

Xue Qi looked at Ma Bailong, Ma Bailong also looked at Xue Qi, and then Ma Bailong looked at me and said, "Uncle Yang, it's really not good to mention this at this time, you and Qiqi's family are like this, you should take the time to restore the home to its original state now." Harvard's exams are not only available this year, we will still have a chance next year, the year after tomorrow, I am confident in Xueqi and my own ability, and we will definitely be able to pass the exam next year. ”

"Nope." This time, I resolutely rejected Ma Bailong's words, looked at them seriously, and said, "Who knows what will happen next year." This opportunity, you two must grasp it, there is confinement here, as well as Yuhui and James, we will deal with the matter. When you get there, we'll contact you and tell us how the repair site is, and when you're done signing up, you can come back on holidays. That's enough. Qiqi, right? ”

But I didn't expect that Xue Qi was looking at me blankly, as if she was looking at a stranger.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?" After staring at me for a long time, Xue Qi burst into tears, "How could you say such an understatement at such a time?" Daddy, that's our home! O our home! Our home was burned to the ground! Why do you still look like a nobody, let me go to the United States? Are you trying to drive me away? ”

Looking at Xue Qi's tearful face, I was slightly stunned.

I frowned and said:

"What do you mean to drive you away? Qiqi, what kind of words are you? I've thought about it carefully, and things have come to this point, so to speak, to the worst. So we can't let it go bad anymore, and it's a good thing that you go to the United States with Ma Bailong, right? ”

Xue Qi pouted a little stubbornly, looked at me as if she was not very willing, and said:

"You're just driving me away."

I stared at Xue Qi for a long time, Xue Qi was stared at by my eyes, and suddenly a little scared, I didn't dare to look directly at me, I lowered my head little by little, and played with two fingers.

"You said to drive you away, even if I drove you away. There is no discussion on this matter, you must go. I said to Xue Qi word by word, "Otherwise, it will be too late." I gently patted Xueqi on the shoulder, then lifted her chin and slowly smiled at her:

"Qiqi, listen to Dad, go to the United States, okay? That's the place you should be going to develop. You and Ma Bailong are both very talented, China, for the two of you, is too small. ”

Xue Qi pursed her lips tightly, then frowned lightly, looked at me and said:

"Dad, have you forgotten what we said before?"

"What did you say before?" I looked at Xue Qi with some confusion, and a thick fog was in my mind, but suddenly, I figured it out.

Indeed, I personally promised Xueqi before. Xue Qi also made a request.

That promise I didn't make to Xueqi.

If I don't find a girlfriend, Xueqi won't leave my promise.

Yes, this is what I said to Xueqi, my agreement with her. For me, I had almost forgotten the whole agreement in just a few days, but for Xueqi, it was a promise that meant a lot to her, and it was the only excuse she could have to stay.

I looked at Yuhui who was sitting next to her drinking orange juice, there was no expression on her face, and when she saw my gaze, she lowered her eyebrows slightly, looked at the empty plate on the table, and was silent.

And at this moment, Yuhui suddenly did something unexpected to me, it was too sudden, too unexpected, so I didn't expect it, and I didn't even have time to stop her.

Yuhui took out her mobile phone, pressed a call with her thumb at an astonishing speed, and then said lightly without waiting for the other party to ask:

"I'm sorry. Let's break up. That's it. ”

Then Yuhui hung up the phone, put away the phone, and looked at Xue Qi and me quietly, without any emotional fluctuations in her eyes, as if she had just received a mobile call.

Everyone froze.

In just three sentences, without a trace of superfluity, Yuhui broke up with a boyfriend who was dating. She looked at me and Xueqi like nothing, and Xueqi was also frightened by her actions.

But soon, as if she had figured out something, Xue Qi stomped her foot angrily, stood up from her seat, and said:

"Sister Yuhui, what are you doing here? Are youβ€”Are you joining forces with your dad to bully me? ”

Xue Qi picked up the wet towel on hand, wiped her mouth, and then looked at me angrily and said:

"Dad, I'm full, I'm going first, I'm going to the supermarket to buy something. Also, Dad, Sister Yuhui doesn't count! She deliberately cooperated with you in acting! ”

Saying that, Xue Qi pouted and walked outside without looking back, Ma Bailong looked at me, then at Xue Qi, and then said that he would go with him, and went out with Xue Qi. James looked at Ma Bailong, and for their safety, he also went out with him, leaving me, Yuezi, and Yuhui to sit in place.

Yuhui looked at me quietly, her eyes were like two diamonds set in her sockets, she lowered her head slightly, looked at her phone, didn't look at me, but I knew that she didn't have the heart to play with her phone at all, because her fingers were pressing randomly.

Yuezi and I didn't speak for half a day. In the end, I opened my mouth first:

"Yuhui, what do you mean by that?"

Yuhui didn't look up and said:

"Give it a try."

"What do you mean to try it? What to try? Yuhui, that's your boyfriend, how can you be so casual?! I was so angry that I raised my tone.

Yuhui didn't look up and said:

"It's just a regular mobile phone......

I was stunned, but Yuezi giggled on the side, as if laughing at me for being stupid.

I didn't know how to answer Yuhui, so I had to frown and sink down, and said:

"Then you can't just know so casually? I really thought you were going to call...... It's up to your boyfriend. ”

Yuhui still didn't look up, just lowered her head and played with her phone, and I didn't have any other way.

"There's no time." Yuhui said softly, her voice was very soft, as if a blank piece of paper was gently brushing the back of my hand, "You have to try everything." ”

As she spoke, she stopped playing with her phone, raised her head again, her eyes looked at me as if she had stopped water, and repeated:

"There's no time."

The first time I said this, I didn't feel any deep meaning, but when Yuhui said this for the second time, my mind was like hitting a bell, and I suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter.

When I settled the bill, walked out of the restaurant, and walked outside, I looked at the sky with a worried face.

I don't know when it started, the double tetrahedron in the sky was like a ceiling less than 100 meters away from my head, and I couldn't see the clouds in the sky at all, and the object in the sky seemed to be about to fall at any moment, flattening the streets, houses, and the world.

What Yuhui said is not wrong, there is really no time.

Just a few days ago, this feeling of depression was not so strong, but now, this feeling of depression has suddenly become stronger, and I dare not even look up at the sky, it is a completely apocalyptic scene, as if a knife is on top of my head and will fall at any moment.

However, I've removed Yuezi, Yuhui, Frexiu, and James from the team, and they shouldn't be able to see this terrible sight in the sky, and I'm the only one who can see this scene.

I felt like my breathing was starting to get hard, and I could already imagine that in the next two days, if I did nothing, the sky above me would be crushed, crushing everything in this world, including the city where I had lived for more than 30 years, including Xueqi, including Yuezi, including Yuhui, and others, all those I loved or loved me, would be buried with me.

There is no time left.

There's really no time left.

My heart was like a rapidly spinning car motor, it began to accelerate suddenly, I stood on the gloomy street, watching the people come and go, watching the cars crisscross the intersection, turning on the headlights, like a flowing galaxy, an indescribable sense of loneliness enveloped my heart.

It's like, I'm the only one left in the world.

It was as if I was cut off from the whole world.

I had to do something.

Whatever it is, I'm going to give it a try.

Just like Yuhui said, you have to try everything. It's not for myself, it's for all people. I don't have the ability to save the whole world, let alone that idea, I just want to live as ordinary as in the past, live like an ordinary person, and when I go home every night, I cook rice with Xueqi, cook grilled fish, stir-fry vegetables, and then accompany a bowl of ordinary seaweed soup, and the two of them watch TV while grabbing the remote control.

That kind of life is enough for me, happy enough. I'll never have any more thoughts.

"Yuezi, what time is it, you tell me." I asked in a whisper.

"At 3:50 p.m. on the 27th...... Brother, what are you going to do? "Yuezi opened her phone and looked at it, and told me the time.

"Go somewhere, meet someone, you go to the daily rental house and wait for me first, I will go back in a short time." I took a deep breath and cleared my mind as much as I could.

"Here we go again...... It's all this time, brother, who else are you going to see? Yuezi said resentfully, "So many things have happened, brother, you should know that we are the safest together, but you are still acting alone, what are you doing here?" ”

I looked at the confinement with some guilt and said, "Confinement, I promise this time it will be the last time." This time I promise not to force myself, and I will come back when I go...... You and Yuhui are better off not coming. Rest assured...... This person is an old acquaintance. ”

It's impossible for me to take Yuezi to see Tang Mengyan, even if Yuezi feels nothing, Tang Mengyan won't be happy. This time, only if the confinement does not go, there is a chance of success.

"Is it her?" Yuezi hugged her chest and looked at me calmly, her lips pursed into a line.

Yuezi is really smart, no matter what I'm thinking, she can see it at first sight.

I sighed, smiled helplessly, and said:

"Yuezi, you're really too smart, you know. I'm really proud to have a sister like you, but I'm also scared. ”

When Yuezi heard my words, her face did not change much, but it was obvious that she was not in a good mood, she just hugged her chest and said:

"If you want to go, go ahead. Elder brother. ”

When Yuezi said this, her tone was a little hard, but it could be seen that she did say it after thinking about it for a while, Yuezi knew what I was about to do, and she also knew that my character was the kind of type that once I figured out something, the gods couldn't stop it, and it was useless for her to persuade me.

"But, brother, you have to promise me one thing." Yuezi said suddenly.

The wind suddenly began to fight.

I stood there and looked at Yuezi's quiet face, a little stunned, but still nodded.

"Well, you say, confinement."

Yuezi looked at me quietly, under the long eyelashes, the crystal eyes contained unprecedented complex emotions, Yuezi's eyes have always been beautiful, her eyes can speak, but I have never seen such complex emotions in her eyes, sadness, disappointment, hesitation, struggle, expectation, waiting...... I never knew that a person's eyes could hold such a wealth of emotions.

But in the end, she didn't say anything.

"Forget it, it's nothing." Yuezi suddenly blinked her eyelashes, curled the corners of her lips, waved her hand, lifted her sideburns and scraped them to the back of her head, "Come on, brother." ”

I thought that Yuezi would express some inner thoughts, but I was actually waiting for her to speak, but in the end she didn't say anything, which made me think about what she didn't say in the end.

Perhaps, this is what Yuezi deliberately did to let me figure out her thoughts.

On the way to the clothing mall where Tang Mengyan works, I kept thinking about Yuezi's face and what her unspoken words were, and the more I thought about it, the more chaotic my heart became.

When I walked to the mall and found the clothing store where Tang Mengyan was, I found that Tang Mengyan was not there, only the aunt was watching the store.

"Yo, it's you again." Seeing me, my aunt came forward enthusiastically. "You're here to find Yan Yan again?"

The old man's mind was always so vicious, and he saw through my thoughts at a glance, and I smiled a little awkwardly, and said:

"Hmm...... Yes. Tang Mengyan, isn't she here today? ”

The aunt smiled and nodded: "Well, today she rested and went out with friends." ”

My heart chuckled, I didn't expect Tang Mengyan to be there, and all the plans I made were all in vain at once.

I said a little anxiously:

"Auntie, do you know where she went? I'm in a bit of a hurry to find her, really. ”

The aunt thought for a moment and said:

"I just know that, because she's been talking about it for the past few days. Did you hear that there is a boxing match going on in our city today? Yan Yan made an appointment with her former classmates to watch the game. I guess she's there. ”

Boxing matches?

When my aunt said this, I suddenly remembered that it was true that a few days ago, I saw the news of a boxing match held in the city in a fruit store.

Unexpectedly, Tang Mengyan actually likes to watch this.

"Thank you, Auntie." I thanked the store manager, then hurriedly turned around and left the mall, heading for my next destination.

I knew that the venue for the boxing match must be the municipal gymnasium, and I couldn't run.

As I ran out of the mall and looked at the gloomy sky, I suddenly had a strange feeling that the gymnasium, which would be the end of my month's run.

From east to west, from north to south, after running for so long and going through so much, this long journey is finally coming to an end.
