Baiyun ambition

In the early morning of the Year of Gengzi, when the tiles were covered with a thin layer of frost, Yu Lin was sweeping snow at the door, but was chased by the neighbor's cat howling and running away.

The house was full of excitement, Yu Fangyun was the last one to wake up, and washed his face with cold water.He only hung up the phone with Yan Xiru at three or four o'clock last night, and he couldn't figure out how he could have so much to talk to this person.

Yu Lin peeked at his brother at the dining table, hesitant to speak, tried to speak a few times, but was stared back by Yu Fangyun, and then glanced at his parents who were sitting next to him, telling him to act cautiously with his tail between his legs mean.

But Second Aunt didn't know when she got Yu Lin's suggestion that mother and child are connected, and she handed Yu Fangyun an egg, and asked him by the way: "Has Fangyun been dating recently?"

Yu Fangyun didn't want to hide it from the person who cared about him the most, so he told honestly: "Yes."

"Really?!" The second uncle, who was tired from eating next to him, suddenly regained his spirits, "What kind of girl is she?! Is she pretty? What kind of job do you do? How old are you? Is your temper good? It doesn't matter if you're not. Yes, hahaha, as long as the girl is good-looking... ouch, ouch, hey, hiss—"

The second aunt pinched her husband's thigh fiercely under the table, and Yu Lin kicked his father across the table.The second uncle yelled: "Why are you ganging up on me again?!"

There was a moment of embarrassment at the dining table, and three pairs of eyes focused on Yu Fangyun. He couldn't bear to look at him, scooped up the wonton, and shook his hand holding the spoon: "...not a good-looking girl either."

The moment the voice fell, there was a sudden loud noise from a distance, the movement was so loud that the ground trembled slightly, the soup in the bowl shook, and the egg rolled to the ground.

Yu Fangyun's eyes turned white for a moment, his heart fell to the ground with the loud noise for some reason, and his thoughts were smashed into pieces like eggshells.

"Oh! It's over!" The second uncle patted the chopsticks and shouted, "It's over! It really exploded!"

Yu Fangyun lost his thoughts in the panic, and raised his head blankly: "What exploded?"

The second uncle hurriedly ran over to find the remote control to turn on the TV, and lost one of his slippers: "There was a fire in the chemical factory in the city, and it must have been caused by fireworks! It started in the early hours of yesterday! I see that The live video is terrifying, the flames are overwhelming, and the sky can't be seen clearly!"

The fire started at 04:30 in the morning. It started from the open-air stacks of paper in the paper factory on the outskirts of the city.Fire officers, soldiers and medical personnel rushed to the scene in time. The news at the time was that three on-duty personnel in the factory died, six were missing, and the rest were injured to varying degrees.

The wind was strong on a winter night, the paper was flammable, and the embers spread in all directions, making it difficult to control the fire for a while.What's even more frightening is that not far from this paper mill is a chemical plant that stores hundreds of tons of flammable materials. If the ashes float to the chemical plant, it may cause a big explosion at any time!

Last night, Yu Fangyun and Yan Xiru hung up the phone and went to bed, sleepy and satisfied, and slept soundly, but nothing woke him up.

"I got up last night to watch, we can all see the smoke coming out of here! The first firefighters and medical staff have been in for a few hours, the fire is out of control, and now it is exploding again! Is it really burning? Went to the chemical plant, ouch, such a big explosion, don't worry about it..." The second uncle tremblingly switched TV stations for a long time, but he still couldn't find a live broadcast of the fire.

Hearing the medical staff... Yu Fangyun suddenly felt a thunderbolt, overwhelming uneasiness surged into his heart instantly, like insect feet and tentacles scratching his heart.Trembling, he took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Yan Xiru, but he didn't get a reply for a long time, and the powerlessness in his heart was even worse...

The second aunt saw his pale face and uncomfortable expression, so she hurriedly asked what was wrong, and Yu Lin also came over to hold his trembling palm: "Brother? Brother! What's wrong with you?"

"Hospital...which hospital?" Yu Fangyun almost threw himself on Second Uncle's body and grabbed his shoulder. "Any news about the medical staff?"

"Ah? I've been there a lot! There are residential areas around there. In order to prevent accidents, several hospitals have mobilized people to go. You say your hospital..." The second uncle was frightened by his rushing posture, and gripped the remote control tightly. Board, "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll watch the news now...don't worry..."

He kept flipping through the channels, but he couldn't find a piece of news about the fire.Yu Fangyun stared at the jumping screen.He was so flustered and anxious that he couldn't even think of searching for this news on his phone.

Yu Lin next to him finally came to his senses, and hurriedly entered "Tong City, big fire" in the search bar, and the discussion on social media was already in full swing.He clicked on an official media to get the latest news, "Brother, look here!"

10 minutes ago: "Shoot! The first scene of the fire in Tong City, the open flame continues to burn!"

10 minutes ago: "Urgent report! A second explosion occurred at the fire scene!"

Yu Fangyun pulled down the screen with trembling fingers, and the words "Tongshan Hospital" suddenly appeared in the list of rescue agencies.Yan Xiru was the doctor on duty last night, so he must have been called to the scene of the fire... His fingers frightenedly slid across the shocking photos, not daring to breathe until he saw the short paragraph at the end of the report: Because the second explosion point and the sudden attack The fire scene is close to the rescue center. The first batch of firefighting and medical teams rushed to the scene had serious injuries, and residents were also seriously injured. The specific personnel and injuries are still being confirmed urgently——

Just a few words, as if hit head-on, Yu Fangyun couldn't stand up all of a sudden.

The TV station finally cut off the long series of foot wraps, and the male host appeared on the screen with a serious expression: "Now there is a latest news about the major fire in Tong City 228. According to the reporter on the scene, the cause of the explosion 15 minutes ago was A container outside the storage tank of the chemical plant exploded when the inflammables encountered sparks. The shock wave spread to at least 200 meters around the core explosion point. Up to now, four firefighters and one medical staff have died in the rescue process. Three people were seriously injured, and the whereabouts of two people are unknown..."

... died in the process, was seriously injured, and his whereabouts are unknown.

……sacrifice.

Yu Fangyun suddenly became deaf, and couldn't hear anything behind

He supported the back of the chair with his whole body so as not to collapse on the ground. Finally, he couldn't restrain himself and coughed violently.All the heart, liver and lungs turned outward for a moment, and almost vomited a mouthful of blood from my heart.The blood boiled and rushed, all flowing through the name engraved on the heart.

"Yan Xiru... Yan Xiru."

Yu Fangyun kept repeating the name, his eyes were red, he pushed Yu Lin away and rushed out the door.

Unaware of the situation, the second aunt and uncle randomly grabbed Yu Lin and asked him to follow.But Yu Lin couldn't catch up with him, panting behind: "Brother! Wait for me, I'll go with you! Wait for me!"

Yu Fangyun stopped a taxi on the side of the road and said he was going to the Chengnan Paper Mill. The driver was so frightened that he thought he was traveling in a dream.He held on to the car window tightly, like holding a piece of drowning driftwood: "Please, take me there right away."

Yu Lin finally caught up and dragged his brother into the car: "Master, my brother's friend is at the scene of the fire. We are going to find him. Please take us outside the factory."

The paper mill is located on the middle line between Tongcheng and Chang'an Town, and the road was empty today. In less than an hour, the car drove to the road outside the factory building.It was more than a kilometer away, and a sea of ​​flames not far away could still be seen. The black smoke covered the sky and the sun could hardly be seen. The picture looked like the entrance to hell in a movie.

The driver said tremblingly, "I don't dare to drive in again..."

Before the car stopped, Yu Fangyun opened the car door and rushed out regardless.

People on the road were evacuating from the center, only he stepped on the hot ground and ran.The faces that passed by were full of panic, tiredness, and despair... He ignored them all, and threw himself into the sky like a moth.

In fact, he was afraid every step of the way to the finish line, to the extreme, but he couldn't despair...he couldn't despair yet.

After rushing to the cordon, a person dressed as a traffic policeman stopped him at a safe distance: "No one can get close now, you still rush in! Do you want to die?!"

Yu Fangyun's voice was hoarse: "I'm a doctor in Tongshan... I can go in and save people."

"Don't talk about doctors, even I won't let in now!"

Yu Fangyun here hadn't sent him off yet, but Yu Lin trotted up behind him.The traffic policeman shook his head, this group of people were really burned out, and they all came to see them off in the flames!

"Brother, brother! Why did you come here like this and let you in! Let's see the situation first and then we can talk about it! Brother! Calm down!"

Yu Lin wanted to pull him, but was shocked by the expression on Yu Fangyun's face at the moment.He looked up at the flames, with a pale face and unfocused eyes, like a condemned prisoner looking up at... a coffin.

Suddenly, the slack gaze refocused to one point, and finally there was a glimmer of light.Yu Fangyun saw Jiang Jian!called out to him—

Jiang Jian also saw him, ran over to explain the situation to the traffic police, and brought him in.

The inside of the cordon was also shrouded in white smoke, sparks were scattered, and more than ten fire engines were parked on both sides of the road, and firefighters kept running to the center of the fire scene ahead with fire hoses on their backs.

"Doctor Yu, you also called someone from the emergency department..." Before he could finish speaking, the man pinched his shoulders first, "Where is Yan Xiruren?!"

"Boss, he happened to be standing outside the tent when the explosion happened just now, so..." Jiang Jian's tone was astringent, and he couldn't bear to say any more.

"Is the person still alive?" Yu Fangyun said every word, his voice trembling beyond recognition.

Jiang Jian was taken aback by his question: "It's alive, it's alive. It's just that it passed out just now, and now it's hanging water in the tent... It's still alive."

A boulder in Yu Fangyun's heart suddenly fell to the ground, but it was so heavy that he couldn't breathe, his chest was heaving, his internal organs seemed to be on fire, it was such a torment.

Jiang Jian hurriedly talked to him, and was going to pick up other wounded again, so he asked Yu Fangyun to find Yan Xiru in the small tent by himself.

He rushed dozens of kilometers to come here, but at this moment, the panic in his heart reached the peak, and he didn't even dare to lift the narrow cloth.Trembling, he clenched a corner tightly and got in.

Yan Xiru sat on the simple bed, saw him, and opened his eyes wide in disbelief, thinking that he was delusional due to longing.

Yu Fangyun also stared at him three steps away in a daze, counting carefully. ——The white coat on his body was stained with blood, and his face was also black and gray, but his head was fine, his arms were two, his legs were two pairs, his fingers were all intact, and his ears were still there, all right, all right , all good...

"Fang Yun." Yan Xiru finally confirmed that it was not a dream, and called his name hoarsely.

Yu Fangyun took two steps towards him, exhausted all his strength, his legs went limp, and he threw himself on him.

Yan Xiru caught it steadily, and confirmed his existence again like raving.

Yu Fangyun hugged his neck tightly, pressed his shoulders, and said that sentence in his ear, with blood and tears, the fear of the disaster, and all the heartbeats he had kept secret for many years. Say it all to him every word.

The fire was still burning behind him, anxious as a spark, and Yan Xiru's arms were also hot.

He used his arms to protect Yu Fangyun tightly, and closed his eyes... It turned out that he had spent half his life waiting for this moment.
