as yesterday

After the final exam, He Yu was the most relaxed. Because the grades hadn't come out yet, she rushed to Sifan to borrow several books after returning home.

Shen Sijun was downstairs buttoning her newly made cheongsam, He Yu came in such a hurry, Shen Sijun called her: "Go back and see, I have something to do today."

He Yu: "What's the matter?"

Shen Sijun glanced at her, "Anyway, it has nothing to do with you."

He Yu leaned over with the book in his hands, "Sister Sijun, this is really pretty."

She was talking about the one she was still wearing on the model. It was slim and the color was bright without being tacky.

"You have eyesight."

Shen Sijun poked He Yu's forehead, "It's getting late, go back quickly, don't watch all night."

He Yu let out a sigh, and when he went out, Liu Wensheng happened to come over. Liu Wensheng seldom wore light-colored clothes, except in summer.In winter, he wears black and gray coats without exception. He is tall and thin, and his skin is too white, so he always looks weak.

He Yu greeted——

"Brother Wensheng!—"

Liu Wensheng smiled at her, "Are you borrowing books again?"

He Yu waved the book in his hand, "Yeah, brother, why are you looking for Sister Sijun?"

She blinked, her expression teasing.

Liu Wensheng wasn't teased at all, and smiled, "There's something wrong."

"Is your hand okay?"

He Yu let out a sigh, "It's been fine for a long time, it's been several months."

Liu Wensheng looked at He Yu's spirited state, "Yuansheng is not a bad person, but he is a bit awkward. If there is a chance in the future, you can play together."

He Yu raised his forehead, scratched his head, and muttered: "Forget it, brother, I really have nothing to say to him, hey, I'll go first, see you again, brother."

She seemed to run away.

Liu Wensheng looked at the little girl's back and sighed.

"What sigh?"

Shen Sijun came out from inside, just in time to hear Liu Wensheng's sigh.

"It's nothing, I think this sister He Yu is really energetic."

Shen Sijun: "That's right, she's skinier than a boy, and her mouth is poorer."

It was already very late, there was no one in the alley, Shen Sijun closed the door, and took Liu Wensheng upstairs.

"Sijun, my mother seems to know."

Liu Wensheng put his hand around Shen Sijun's and said when she was pulled upstairs.His voice is very gentle, Shen Sijun doesn't like to see him frowning, but Liu Wensheng has been like this since she was a child, from the first time she saw him, when she was a little boy not as tall as her, Liu Wensheng is a person who likes to frown.

"It's okay, I'll explain to her."

Shen Sijun said it very easily, incense was lit in Sifan, candles were lit in the attic, and the candles were flickering, which made her beautiful face that had lasted for ten years more captivating. It was a face that Liu Wensheng could not let go of. .

"Sister Sijun, I've grown up, I can bear it."

Liu Wensheng was almost grown up by Shen Sijun. She watched him grow edges and corners, and seemed to be smoothed. The whole person was like a soft eraser, which could erase all the sadness in her heart.

"it is good."

She hugged him and whispered in his ear.

He Yu was very satisfied with the manga he borrowed this time. She started reading it when she went back to lie on the bed. She leaned her legs against the wall and held the book. Sentence: "Are you cultivating immortals?"

He Yu turned his head, "I've become a fairy, you're here too, and Ah Huang downstairs."

Hong Lanwen laughed, "Yes, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven."

He Yu: "Why are you scolding yourself?"

After being beaten up by Hong Lanwen, Hong Lanwen said, "Go to bed early."

He Yu hummed, "Where's your husband?"

Hong Lanwen: "Not coming back, I think he said he doesn't need to come back."

He Yu: "Stop him, he's so homeless, I think the mahjong parlor will kick him out soon."

His father didn't go out for half a year, so he just stayed at home, saying he was looking for some work, and in the end it was playing cards. Hong Lanwen had been working hard to make money, saving He Yu's college money.

He Yu occasionally does some small work for the teacher to earn some pocket money, which is quite harmonious.

"What are you talking about, go to bed early, and don't get carried away as soon as you have a holiday."

"Know it……"

He Yu responded perfunctorily.

He Yu originally wanted to watch it all night, but couldn't bear it, and finally fell asleep in a daze after watching it. She always felt very hot, but her mind was very clear. It was winter, and there was still a pungent smell in the air. the taste of.

burnt smell.

She woke up instantly, jumped out of the bed, opened the window, thick smoke was billowing, the fire was in the distance, and the fire was also in the vicinity. Recently, it was dawn and the wind was strong. People trapped inside were burned alive.

He Yu pushed open the door, just as Hong Lanwen came out, there were footsteps upstairs and downstairs, dogs barking one after another, followed by whistles, the fire brigade came.

Hong Lanwen gave He Yu a wet towel, and He Yu rushed down to find Liu Ci.

Just when Liu's words came down, "Are you okay?"

Liu Ci hugged her younger brother, her mother hugged her younger sister, and Liu Yu followed them. He Yu asked, "Where's your father?"

Liu Ci: "My dad seems to be still in the store."

There were many people standing on the street, and He Yu looked at the place where the fire was the biggest, "Damn it, it seems to be your dad's shop there!"

Liu Ci hugged her younger brother to Liu Yu, and while running over there, He Yu grabbed her, "What are you doing?!"

Liu Ci: "My dad is still over there!"

He Yu: "It's too dangerous!"

The two of them were chattering and almost started fighting, while Liu Ci's mother stared at that place, but seemed indifferent, Liu Yu stood aside, always feeling a little cold.

There is a choking smell in the air.

Today's weather is not good, the wind brought the fire to the surrounding streets and alleys when the fire brigade arrived, He Yu pulled Liu Ci, but in the end she couldn't hold her back, and ran over there, the adults on the road were all persuading them , Say don't go there.

He Yu was held back by Hong Lanwen, "What are you going to do? It's all burnt down there, is it useful for you to go?"

"But Liu Ci..."

Liu Ci broke away from He Yu's hand, "I'll just go by myself."

She was crying, tears fell from her eyes, He Yu glanced at her in embarrassment, and then at her mother, Hong Lanwen felt a headache, the place where they lived was not as serious as the one where the shop was, it burned to the head tail.

"You, are you all right?"

Shen Youqian walked through the crowd and asked pantingly.

There was still thick smoke billowing in the distance, and the water column sprayed out by the fire brigade's car was also very high. There were pipes pulled out all over the ground. He Yu reached out and patted Shen Yougan's shoulder, "How is your house?"

"My family is fine, where is Xiaoli?"

He Yu let out a sigh, "The three of us are so close, we are all asleep, so we should be fine."

Instead, Shen You was a little anxious, "You, you forgot, Xiao, Xiaoli said to go to her mother's shop at night."

He Yu froze for a moment, "Then she..."

"Fuck, that's over!"

Liu Ci had already run over there first. Overlooking Yanxinglong Lane, there was a boxy block of tofu, but there were wires pulled randomly inside. It is in disrepair, it leaks when it rains, and the wooden structure accounts for most of it.

Especially in the store, there are so many things that burn faster.

The tongue of fire was as big as a wind that suddenly whipped up a fire in the flat ground, and the heat wave hit like the end of the day.

The closer you get, you can hear all kinds of cries, mixed with the sound of fire extinguishing, and the sound of the walkie-talkie, almost devastated.

He Yu murmured: "What the hell is going on, why did it catch on?"

It was a bit difficult to put out the fire, the cordon line was lined up, and there were still people enforcing it. He Yu was blocked outside, and Liu Ci kept crying as she watched the shop that was almost burned to nothingness. He wanted to wipe it off with the corner of his clothes, so He Yu took out a piece of paper from his pocket first.

She was wearing pajamas and a long down jacket, and Liu Ci was wearing a sweater, her nose was red from freezing or crying, and He Yu wiped Liu Ci's glasses, shivering from the cold of the other party's hands After a while, he pulled the man over, took off half of his clothes, and wrapped Liu Ci in, "Liu Ci, it's okay, maybe uncle has been rescued."

Liu Ci was trembling all over, his voice was trembling to the limit of fear, and he couldn't say the last sentence.

He Yu hugged Liu Ci tightly, she was actually trembling too, after all the closer she was to the center, the sadder she felt.Sifan was gone, the string of wind chimes in front of the door was burnt to nothing but iron frames, the beautiful door curtain disappeared without a trace, and the red-painted door panel was left alone after the fire was extinguished.

Where's Miss Sijun?

What the hell is going on here, and why is it starting to catch fire from this side?

The shops in Yanxinglong Lane are close together, the wind is too strong tonight, it is difficult to control the fire, and it took a long time to put out the fire.

He Yu stood outside the cordon, watching a person being carried out on a stretcher, not sure if he was alive or dead.

There was still that suffocating burnt smell in the air.

Shen Youqian also stood on the side. He stared dumbfounded at the woman being carried out. It was Aunt Liu. Half of her body was burned, but her eyes were still staring. It was a bit scary, so he tugged He Yu.

He Yu also saw it.

Aunt Liu was laughing.

The children in Yanxinglong Lane's impression of Aunt Liu is her voice, and they like to chat very much. The most content is to praise their son, saying how good the voice is, and what will happen in the future.

Patriarchy is the norm, but they are all sons, so there seems to be differences.

Eccentricity is gender-neutral.

Aunt Liu just favored Liu Wensheng, the more so, the more rebellious Liu Yuansheng became.

The half-brother is like a stranger. Although Liu Wensheng treats Liu Yuansheng well, Liu Yuansheng doesn't want to talk to his excellent brother, so he doesn't like to go home and prefers to stay outside on weekends.

Their school and He Yu's school have the same time, so they probably went all night today.

Shouldn't Aunt Liu be at her house? How could she be carried out from here?

A reporter also came. The flames that had filled the sky had been extinguished, and the air was artificially humid, with an unconcealable burnt smell. He Yu bit his lip and watched this disaster that he didn't know how to define.

A row of shops were burned to the ground. Liu Ci shed tears silently, a little desperate in her heart. They stood for a long time until their legs became numb. Hong Lanwen called He Yu away and dragged Liu Ci away Yes, Shen Youqian was also taken away by his parents.

"Don't panic, Xiaoci, you should take a rest after a night."

An adult is an adult after all, so he is much calmer in this regard. Liu Yu was also comforted by her mother and went upstairs. Liu Ci stood downstairs and looked at her mother. She suddenly felt that her mother was a little too much. Not only was she not sad, she was even a little happy .

It's a bit weird to describe it that way, but the feeling can't go away.

Liu Ci was lying on He Yu's bed, and He Yu hugged her, "Don't think too much, you have to take a rest, maybe when you wake up, you will be able to hear from Uncle Liu."

Liu Ci closed her eyes, but she still looked like her mother.

He Yu closed her eyes, thinking of Aunt Liu's face.

A little crazy and frightening, she thought of Brother Wensheng she met when she came out of Sifan.

Seems more melancholic than usual.

"He Yu."

After an unknown amount of time, He Yu heard Liu Ci calling her that.

She hummed.

They haven't slept together for a long time.

Liu Ci turned over to face her, hugging her tightly, "I'm so scared."

He Yu didn't know how to comfort her, she felt that she was extremely clumsy for a moment, she didn't dare to open her eyes, for fear of seeing Liu Ci's tears, she could only hug Liu Ci's back, leaned her face closer, and dropped a soft smile on Liu Ci's forehead. kiss.

"It's okay, Liu Ci, I will always be with you."
