Twenty Seven Years Chapter 425

  Replace tomorrow.

   "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

  In the middle of the night, I, who had always slept soundly, was awakened by the sound of building demolition, and it took a few seconds before I realized that it was someone knocking on the door of my house.

The door of my house has never been devastated before, and I got up with a displeased face when I was disturbed, put on my slippers and walked out of the bedroom, and went to the door, wanting to see which debt collector knocked on the wrong door: "Who is it? !"

   "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

  People outside heard my voice, and the knock on the door became more violent.

   Originally, I wanted to open the door directly to find out. Seeing that the other party was getting worse, I suddenly lost my mind. I planned to take a peek through the cat's eyes first, but found that the cat's eyes were just blocked by the pasted blessing characters.

  Damn it, I blamed myself from the bottom of my heart, and my tone immediately became more polite: "No, who are you? What's going on in the middle of the night?"

   "Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

  The person outside the door did not speak, but kept making whimpering sounds. I froze for a moment, then remembered that the resident opposite was a dumb uncle who lived alone.

   Could it be him?

  I braved the courage to open the door, and found that standing outside the door was indeed the dumb uncle, wearing a black vest and big pants, looking at me anxiously.

   "What's the matter with you?" Our neighbor who is door-to-door has inevitably met many times. He is usually very kind and never troubles others, so I wondered why he must be in need of help in such a hurry in the middle of the night.

   "Ahhh!" He couldn't speak, he grabbed my arm and dragged me to his house.

   "Hey, what happened?" I resisted instinctively.

  He pointed to the room and kept saying "Whoa, whoa, whoa".

"All right, all right, don't drag me, I'll go in and have a look." I broke free from the dumb uncle's hand, and walked towards his open door, while he rushed in front of me quickly, leading me the way, leading me all the way. to the window.

   "Whoa, whoa!" He was about to cry, pointing to the building next door to us. The top three floors of the building were on fire, and the billowing smoke had blackened the sky ahead.

   "Fuck!" I blurted out a curse, but quickly calmed down again. Although the fire was huge, several fire trucks were already parked downstairs. Since the fire brigade is here, there shouldn't be any problems. "It's all right, don't worry, the fire brigade is here downstairs, and it won't take long to put out the fire."

   "Whoa, whoa!" The dumb uncle shook his head, and kept pointing there.

   Could something be wrong?

  I looked over carefully again, and found that there were two small heads in a window of the top floor resident, and there was a bang in my head!

   is a child!

  Because Uncle Mute and I live on the top floor, so this angle is just right to see two children trying to get out of the window in a house trapped on the top floor in a panic! But the top floor is equipped with an anti-theft net, even if they get out, they will still be stuck there!

  I understood the meaning of the dumb uncle, and immediately leaned half of my body out of the window, and shouted the loudest to the fire truck downstairs: "Hey! Hey! There are children on it! There are children!"

"what?!"

   "There are kids on the top floor! Two kids!"

   "Okay! Hurry up! There are still two children who haven't come out yet!" The firefighters heard my voice and speeded up the rescue.

   "Must be quick!" I roared.

  At this time, the dumb uncle patted me and pointed to where the child was. I looked up and found that the elder brother of the two children had lifted the younger sister half of his body!

  The top floor is not as badly burned as the two floors below, but it won't be long before it will be engulfed in flames. At that time, even if the child is not burned to death, he will be choked to death by the smoke!

   "Children! Don't come out! Don't come out!" I started yelling at the two children again.

  At that moment, my roar seemed to echo in the whole community.

  The child also heard my voice, groping in the dark for the source of the sound.

  I asked the dumb uncle to turn on the lights on the balcony, recalling that the door leading to the roof in our community would not be locked, so I continued to shout: "Run! Run! Run, kid! Run up! Go to the roof!"

  The child saw me pointing upwards, the elder brother pulled the younger sister back into the room, turned and left the window.

   They did as I told them to!

  I breathed a sigh of relief, and just turned my head to look at the dumb uncle full of joy, a trace of reason dragged me into the ice cellar.

   "Fuck...what am I to do..." I realized that if the kids didn't make it to the rooftop and had an accident midway through, then I, the one who pointed them in the right direction, couldn't get away with it.

   "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh." The dumb uncle regained his composure and was saying something to me.

It's all at this juncture, I don't want to guess what he wants to express, I force myself to turn off the light quickly, so as not to be noticed by others, then my legs are weak, my hands and feet are cold, I sometimes look at the window and sometimes look at the rooftop .

   Thirty seconds passed, and there was no one in either place.

   A minute passed, the window was engulfed in flames, and firefighters were still in emergency rescue.

  One minute and thirty seconds passed, and there was still no movement on the rooftop.

  The dumb uncle supported me who was about to collapse on the ground.

   "It's over, it's over, it's over..." I muttered to myself with dull eyes.

  The two children did not escape.

  I was so full that I took the initiative to take responsibility for this matter.

  If my parents find out about this, they will definitely scold me for having nothing to do and make me feel guilty.

   "I'm done..." I slumped on the ground, my face ashen, imagining the scene where the fireman asked me why I let the children run around, and the parents of the children grabbed my collar and asked me to kill the two children.

   "Uhhhhh." The dumb uncle frantically turned on his phone and typed a line for me to read.

【Thank you】

  I stared at the dumb uncle feebly.

  If he hadn't woken me up in the middle of the night, I wouldn't have been able to deal with this matter at all: “You thank me ass! I'm going to die, and it's all your fault…”

  The dumb uncle started typing again.

"You killed me!" I almost collapsed, put my hands on my head, sobbing, "What kind of **** is this! I'm only twenty-one years old! I just want to help! I didn't think so! "

   "Whoa! Whoa!"

   "Can you stop barking!" I just want to be alone.

  After sobbing for a while, the dumb uncle suddenly slapped me on the shoulder.

   "What else do you want!" I raised my head and stared at him with red eyes.

  He ignored my gaze and pointed outside again.

  I calmed down a little, struggled to get up, looked in the direction he pointed, and found that the top floor of the next building had been completely engulfed in flames, and on the roof, there were two children looming!

   "Ah!" I was stunned in disbelief, and then burst into tears.

   The kids are alive!

   "The children are on the roof! On the roof!" I leaned out again, crying to the firefighters.

  After more than ten minutes, the firefighters successfully rescued the children. A couple who had gone out hurried back and took the rescued child into their arms, weeping uncontrollably.

  I wiped away the tears on my face, huddled on the balcony with the dumb uncle, watched the scene downstairs, and smiled tacitly.

  It's good that people are around.

   "Huh..." In the past half an hour, my mood has been ups and downs like a roller coaster, and now sleepiness hits my heart again, "The fire is about to be extinguished, you should go to rest early, I will go back and fall asleep."

  The dumb uncle stopped me, who was exhausted and had a hoarse voice, and typed another line of text on his mobile phone for me to read.

  【Thank you, you saved the children】

   "If it weren't for you, I would still be sleeping in the house." I thought of scolding the uncle when I was frightened just now, and said apologetically, "You saved these two children."

  The dumb uncle still needs to type.

  This time it was my turn to stop the dumb uncle: "I thank you on behalf of the children, well, you can rest at ease."

  After speaking, I left the uncle's house, returned to my own home, and lay on the bed relieved. With his hands behind his head, he stared at the ceiling for a long time, smiled and sighed, and fell into a deep sleep.

   Rainy day, the rain is still light now, but the radio said that there will be heavy rain tonight.

   "Boom, boom, boom." Someone knocked on the co-pilot's window with his knuckles.

I drove the car for a day, and I was planning to go home and have a good sleep, and I saw that the man didn't hold an umbrella, his body was soaked, and he would wet the seat when he came in, so I waved my hand to indicate that I don't want to go now. Orders.

   "Dong dong dong." The man ignored my waving hand and knocked on the car window stubbornly.

  I patiently lowered the car window: "Dude, I'm not—"

   "Go to Xingyun Bridge." The man showed a hundred-yuan bill before I finished speaking.

  I wanted to refuse, but after all, I was on the way, and I couldn't bear to see him soaked in the rain, so I took the money and let him get in the car: "Where are you going to Xingyun Bridge?"

   "On the bridge." The young man said.

I looked at him while starting the car. This young man has long hair and round-rimmed glasses. He looks like an artist. Unfortunately, he doesn't have a camera bag on him. What are you going to do?"

   "Nothing." The man replied.

"Okay, then put on your seat belt." I've been in this business for so long, I don't even need to ask a few words, I can tell if I'm talkative just by looking at people, and I don't bother to talk to this guy because he doesn't like to talk , drove towards Xingyun Bridge.

  After only 20 minutes of driving, there was thunder, lightning continued, and the rain suddenly became heavier.

   "Damn weather, hurry up and finish the download..." I said to myself.

   "The rain will continue until the day after tomorrow... I just checked the weather forecast." The man sitting in the co-pilot said suddenly.

  I kept my eyes on the road ahead, and slowed down the car: "Really? This is the way we are here. Either we don't get off, or we go down to death. It's really f*cking frustrating."

  The man looked anxious: "When will I be there?"

   "Another... twenty minutes." I estimated the time and replied.

  The car returned to silence.

  I thought I could make a small profit by the end of the day, and I was lucky, but the situation took a turn for the worse after ten minutes, and the car suddenly turned off and broke down after passing a section of deep water.

   "Fuck." I blurted out, trying to restart the car.

  The person next to me frowned, silently watching me struggle meaninglessly.

  I tried a few times, but the car couldn't start. I soon noticed that this guy was a little impatient, so I took out my umbrella: "Don't worry, I'll get out of the car to check the situation, and I'll definitely take you there."

   "No hurry." The buddy took a deep breath and said what he meant.

  I opened the car door, propped up the umbrella, and as soon as my foot landed, the accumulated water covered my calf: "Fuck, it's so deep..."

  As long as it rains in our poor place, water will accumulate, and today's heavy rain has caused the accumulation of water to become more serious. I went around the car and looked up and down, but I didn't see any problems, so I got in the car again, rubbing my hands and apologizing: "Brother, I'm sorry, this car won't be repaired in a while. Now, I have to contact a tow truck."

   "Okay." The man probably noticed it too, so his mood didn't fluctuate much, so he just unbuckled his seat belt and went down.

  I grabbed him and said, "What are you doing?"

   "Go over there," he said.

  I stared: "Crazy? How did you walk through such a heavy rain? What's your hurry?"

  He broke my hand away, and said with a look of seeing through: "You don't need to refund me, I'll go first."

  I felt sorry for it, and handed him the umbrella: "Then take this umbrella."

  He was taken aback when he saw the umbrella, and slowly took it over to hold it up: "Thanks."

   "Thank you, if you want me to say, you'd better sit and wait for the rain to calm down before talking. I'll help you contact a car to take you there when I'm done." I said.

   "No need." He held up his umbrella and walked forward.

  It's a pity that my little broken umbrella is useless, and he was blown to pieces by the wind and rain without taking two steps.

  Seeing this scene, I felt even more sorry. I poked my head out of the car window and shouted, "Come back! Get back in the car!"

  The man ignored me, simply threw away the broken umbrella, and continued walking while dripping with stagnant water.

I cursed in a low voice, rolled up my trouser legs, got out of the car and caught up with him, and dragged him back: "Let's go! Go back to the car to avoid the rain first! Don't be in a hurry, we can't wait for the rain for such a big thing Stopped?"

   "It won't stop until after the rain!" The man wiped his face and said.

"Then you go back to the car with me first, can I help you find a car?" I dragged him back to the car, first contacted a friend who drove a taxi to pick him up, and then contacted the family After reporting that he was safe, he looked at the man, "What's the rush, you have to run to the bridge in the rain at night."

   "Nothing." The man still didn't say anything.

   "In a bad mood?" I took off my wet top, took out a cigarette and handed him a cigarette, "Do you smoke?"

   "I don't smoke."

  I ordered one by myself: "My friend will come in a while, let him pick you up, okay? You don't have to pay for the car anymore."

   "Don't bother people, isn't it not too far away, I'll just walk over." The man said.

  I got angry and said, "Why are you so stubborn? It's hard to drive the car, why are you pushing?"

"Feel sorry."

   "Apologize to me for what?" I was taken aback.

   "Let's go." The man got out of the car quickly this time and ran out directly.

  I was too lazy to chase him, so I told my friend that I don't need to come, so I waited for the trailer to arrive.

  The next day, I saw the news of a man jumping from a bridge into a river.
