Chapter 10: Gray, Spreading
Gray, in that summer vacation, spread like ink in Xu Zinan's world.
Just finished the high school entrance examination, the family went out on a trip, and the beautiful scenery along the way was overwhelming. Xu Zinan was in a happy mood, and he had confidence in himself. ranked in the top ten grades of the grade, and the old class is also very optimistic about themselves.
It's time to let your nerves, which have been tense for three years, come to a complete relaxation.
The family had fun playing with roller coasters, jumping machines, and big pendulums at the amusement park...... There is also a haunted house adventure, basically all the adrenaline-pumping projects, Xu Zinan has experienced it. The intense stimulation made him scream and roar, like a beast that had been suppressed for a long time.
In the evening, when he was finally a little tired from playing, my father drove to a meadow far away from the city and took his family to watch the starry sky.
At that time, Xu Zinan felt so happy and happy. Lying on the grass, the night above his head is like a curtain, and the sky is full of stars. Zining pillowed his brother's arm, and the sound of even breathing came, and he fell asleep unconsciously. On the hillside, the light of the tent resembles two red sapphires. In the distance, there are a few dim lights in the village, and the starlight outlines the outline of the village, which appears and disappears, and a few barking dogs can be heard from time to time.
Listening to Zining's slight breathing in his ears and the soft dialogue between his father and mother, Xu Zinan's eyes gradually became heavy.
The tranquility, broken by a shrill ringing bell. My father hurriedly got up and answered the phone, and soon came back in a hurry to say a few words to my mother. The mother's voice was a little displeased, but she still obeyed her father's wishes.
On the highway, the lights of a car are from far and near, tearing through the night. Xu Zinan and Zining in the back seat continued to fall asleep, and the car drove forward tirelessly.
"Nan'er, you're awake." Sensing the strange noise behind her, the mother turned her head and saw her son open his sleepy eyes. Then he looked at Zi Ning next to him, and his eyes showed all kinds of tenderness.
"Ming'an, let's find a service area to rest first, you've been driving for four or five hours, and it's easy to get tired when driving at night." Mother reminded from the side.
"It's okay, I'm not sleepy yet. Something happened to the company, and I needed to go back and deal with it right away. The father smiled and looked at the mother. There was some tiredness on his face, more anxiety.
The car continued to drive forward. The slight undulations of the road and the female voice coming from the radio made Xu Zinan sleepy again.
Suddenly, Xu Zinan's mother's screams sounded in his ears, and then the car crashed into the truck in front. A huge impact threw Xu Zinan forward, and the seat belt pulled him tightly. Xu Zinan felt a tingling pain in his shoulder, a dizzy headache and tinnitus hit his nerves, and a hot and sticky stream of heat slid down his face.
I don't know how long later, I heard my father's howl, followed by the sound of the car window shattering. A pair of hands dragged him, and he hugged Zining tightly. The pungent smell faded away, and the warmth of the ground came from beneath him.
Xu Zinan realized that they had been in a car accident. Trying to open my eyes, I could see the fire spreading over the deformed car. Xu Zinan shouted frantically, raised his eyes and looked around, anxiously looking for his mother's figure. His eyes were soaked red with the blood on his face, and the fire in front of him was even redder. Zi Ning's hoarse and weak cry echoed in his ears, and the man squatted aside and hugged his head and cried.
Standing in place in a daze, the sound of the wind, the cry, and the roar of the flames hit Xu Zinan's eardrums, stinging one after another. The firelight reflected his face, his eyes were red, his face was covered with blood, his lips were chapped and closed, his face was stiff, and he couldn't see emotions, only his left hand was holding Zi Ning's hand tightly.
The black and red pupils reflected the sky-high flames, and the starlight slowly dimmed......
The fire burned his heart like a cone-like pain.
