Unforgettable battle in Changsha

?The fire in Changsha burned for two days and two nights.From the fourth day onwards, people who fled to various places when the fire broke out returned to the city one after another, and the Hu family was no exception. Mr. Xiang took Ping'an, his younger siblings and said goodbye to Mrs. Hu with Xiuxiu, and went home by ferry.The sky above Changsha is gray, and the air is filled with a strong smell of fireworks, and soot floats up and down in it.Mr. Xiang stretched out his hand to hold one piece, rubbed it with his fingers and then let go, and the piece turned into flying ash and scattered.Xiuxiu asked what it was, and Mr. Xiang replied lightly that it was rice that had been burned to ashes.The rice has been burned to ashes, but is the home still there?Family, is everything ready?No one saw it with their own eyes, and no one knew it. All they had to do was hide their worries and speed up their pace of going home.

When I got to the house and opened the door, I saw my mother first, then my father, and then my grandma came out of the hall.It's okay, it's okay, the house is not burned, and the relatives are fine, the Hu family siblings are all very excited.After entering the house, the grandma talked about their situation, and the brothers and sisters of the Hu family mentioned the warm hospitality of Mrs. Hu from Xiangtan.When the excitement on both sides subsided, Mr. Xiang said, "What's for lunch, I'll make it?" Yubi slipped out a sentence: "Are you busy at Tianjun Mountain? Do you still need to cook his meal at noon?"

The smiles on the faces of Hu's grandma and mother disappeared.Hu's father, Chang Ning, turned his face and looked out the window, and said dryly: "He hasn't come back since you left. I went to the security office to ask, and there was a mess there, and there was no one in charge, except that many people were arrested up and down. , I don’t know the rest of the questions.”

Jun Xiang's face lost his smile for a moment, and it took a long time before he opened his mouth: "Is Jun Shan also arrested?" After a pause, he said sadly: "But Jun Shan said that he is just a handyman, and he will not set fire!"

Xiangxiang carefully carried Xiaopingan into his arms.Hu Ma walked up to Mr. Xiang and shook her body.Grandma Hu reassured and said: "Junshan is not an arsonist! Your father goes three times a day to put up the arsonist's notice, but there is no Junshan's name on it. Your father has also inquired about it, and there is no Junshan among those arrested!" Father Hu Changning Nodding, and affirming again.

Xue Junshan is not an arsonist, so where did he go?Home is here, why doesn't he come back?Everyone in the Hu family didn't understand.Mr. Xiang didn't understand even more. After thinking for a long time, he took Ping An from Xiangxiang's arms, turned around and went out to the square where the list of arsonists was posted.Xiangxiang and Xiaoman were worried, and followed them out.

Many people gathered in the square, most of them gathered in front of the list of arsonists, looking at the names on it, discussing and cursing non-stop.A few of them read the missing list and howled.There is no one who stands resolutely with his children like Mr. Xiang.

Xiangxiang couldn't bear it, and said, "Sister, Ping An will be scared here. You take him back, and Xiaoman and I will watch over him. If there is anything wrong, we will notify you immediately, okay?"

Mr. Xiang refused, and said in a soft but firm voice, "Peace is here. When Junshan is escorted back by the government, he can still take a look."

If the brother-in-law was brought back as an arsonist, he might really only have one look at it.But isn't that uncertain now.Even if it is confirmed, the father at home and the cousin in the hospital will ask someone to help, and the result will not be as bad as imagined.Xiangxiang comforted him, but the words that he uttered made no sense even to himself.

At noon, Xiaoman went home to fetch food.Xiangxiang first gave Xiangjun a bowl and handed it to her.Turning around, she was about to feed Pingan another bowl, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw that Mr. Xiang hadn't eaten, and she was feeding Pingan with the food in the bowl.Xiangxiang hurriedly said: "Sister, you eat yours, and I will feed you safe."

Mr. Xiang said that she was not hungry and did not want to eat.

Xiangxiang was depressed and began to hate himself: useless, unable to help with anything, and unable to do anything.Looking at the food, then at Mr. Xiang and Ping'an, she said, "I'll look for it." Then she turned and left.

Xiangxiang was about to leave, Xiaoman became anxious and shouted: "Xiangxiang, eat something! Xiangxiang, where can you find it?"

"The octagonal building on Nanzheng Street." Xiang Xiang replied.My brother-in-law loves money and is good at making money. Nanzheng Street, where shops and shops gather, should be the place he goes to the most.Go there and ask, maybe someone saw him on the night of the fire?

It’s just that when Xiangxiang reached Nanzheng Street, before he could inquire about Xue Junshan’s news, he saw three or five old ladies by the side of the road, and a hoarse voice said to her: “Isn’t this the daughter-in-law of the Sheng family? Why are you still here? The Sheng family is gone, gone, let's go!" Then he sighed: "What a crime!"

Xiangxiang was stunned, the Sheng family is gone?Immediately thinking of the fire, my whole body felt cold and tense.

Another hoarse voice continued: "That child from the Sheng family is really nice. After another night, he should marry a guest and move to Chongqing. But I didn't expect that God would not let him spend the night. The superior is an official. You're so cruel!" followed by another hoarse voice: "It's time to do it, I was drinking happily before going to sleep. This sleep, I didn't wake up again."

Xiaoman, who was carrying a lunch box, caught up and helped Xiangxiang to walk back.But the nagging sound still came to my ears, "My son is gone, the next day the master of the Sheng family quietly threw the body into the river..."

Xiangxiang burst into tears.She gritted her teeth and tried not to cry, but her body trembled uncontrollably.After a while, the teeth chattered up and down, and finally couldn't help crying.

Xiaoman felt sorry for Xiangxiang, and shouted angrily behind him: "Stop it!" The hoarse voice stopped talking, but Xiangxiang said: "They are dead, they are dead. If I tell him clearly that I won't marry, if I never If he resolutely opposed this marriage from the beginning, Dad would not accept their betrothal gift, and Sheng Chengzhi would not be happy to drink." Then the voice turned into a sob and said: "If he doesn't drink, he can wake up in the middle of the night, and he won't die Yes. I killed him! Xiao Man, I killed him!"

"Xiangxiang, this has nothing to do with you, it has nothing to do with our family. The fire was set by the soldiers!" Xiaoman comforted Xiangxiang while wiping tears with his sleeve.

A hundred meters away, Gu Qingming looked at the siblings with a frown, turned his face away for a while and continued to work.The fire that spread throughout the city without warning at one o'clock in the morning killed many sleepy citizens and wounded soldiers.If possible, he really wanted her to come over and see this endless corpse!What's the use of crying, can cry back to her Sheng Chengzhi, or can crying make all the dead come back to life? !Suffering and grief, just grit your teeth and accept it.

Where Xue Junshan went, no one knows.The Hu family ran around and found out that Xue Junshan was not an arsonist, but a firefighter.He rescued people from this fire and went into that fire cave.Following the vague instructions, they found the last family rescued by Xue Junshan. They said that they were just happy when they came out of the flames, and they didn't pay attention to where the savior went.Where did Xue Junshan go?Keep looking for it.

The hard work paid off, and on the fifth day, there was news that the rescue team had pulled Xue Junshan and Xiao Hei out of the ruins.Xue Junshan injured his leg and is undergoing surgery at Xiangya Hospital.Everyone in the Hu family was very excited. Mr. Xiang and Xiaoman went to the hospital, Grandma Hu, Mama Hu, and Xiuxiu were cooking at home.Everyone was thinking in their hearts: Xue Junshan is coming back.

Hope is beautiful, but reality is often the cruelest.Mr. Xiang and Xiaoman failed to bring Xue Junshan back, but they also brought back bad news: the gendarmerie said that Xue Junshan was arson suspect and took him away.At the end, Xiaoman added sadly: "Brother-in-law just finished the operation, and they didn't even let us see it, so they took it away. It's useless for us to say anything."

Hu's father, Chang Ning, kept pacing, couldn't bear it anymore, and finally said: "What kind of world is this?!"

Hu's mother looked at the whole room, and said in a soft voice: "The whole family, old and young, count on you. What's the use of complaining?"

Father Hu stopped, looked at his family's eyes on him, and finally vented his grievances.In troubled times and fierce years, it can only be gentle and sweeping the floor!Looking back at his wife, he said, "Prepare a gift for me."

It's not easy to ask for help, but no one is willing to accept a gift.Hu's father, Changning, is holding a suitcase of gold, and all he asks is to fish out Xue Junshan, but there is no way to give gifts!People such as Xu Quan and others ran away early; those who have the right to speak, such as the commander, were not allowed to be interviewed after waiting for several days; other big men like Mr. Liu said, "Let me help you ask", this is the most open up.But no matter how open it is, what's the use if you can't save Xue Junshan? !

Hu's father Changning's request for help was fruitless, but the government acted vigorously and resolutely. Three officials above the division level had already been executed.Next, is it Xue Junshan's turn?Think about Xiang Jun's mother and son, since Xue Junshan was arrested, Xiang Jun has become numb and unable to eat.Even with Xiangxiang accompanying Kaijie, if Xue Junshan is really gone, Jun Xiang's heart may die.With heavy responsibilities on his shoulders, he could only hesitate. Father Hu Changning felt that a big knife was hanging over his head all the time.

Grandma Hu is also helpless when she encounters such a situation.She counted the things Xue Junshan left behind and handed them over to her son Changning. As long as it is to save Xue Junshan, use whatever is available.Alas, although there are a lot of valuable things, but the son is holding a box of gold and he can't even see the commander's face. It's impossible to expect these things to fish him out.Take a look, if it doesn't work, sell the house.After all the belongings have been tossed and the house is sold, if no one can be rescued, then they can only accept their fate.

How can you accept it so easily.Grandma Hu stared at her son, and said firmly, "Everyone who has a relationship, go to find it. Anyone who can make a connection, go to it!"

Hu's father Chang Ning Zheng nodded.At this time, Xiangxiang, who was standing aside, interjected softly: "Grandma, can you share some with me?"

Hu's father Changning opened his mouth to reprimand Xiangxiang.When is this, and I still want to share the things that I want to take to save my life!She didn't want to be a mother, she reacted faster than him, and spoke faster than him, and said, "then share some with Xiangxiang".A little girl in Xiangxiang knows someone, and if she takes her things out, what if she is robbed or cheated?Hu's father, Chang Ning, looked at his mother and disagreed.

Grandma Hu said again: "Give it to her!" The son basically searched for everyone he could find.If you find another person, your friendship will not be much better.And if the friendship is not good, the chances of being willing to help are even smaller.Let Xiangxiang try it, in case a blind cat meets a dead mouse.

Of course, she also understands Hu's father Changning's worry, but she feels that his son is too worried.Xiangxiang has never been a stupid person since he was a child. Under the influence of Xue Junshan in the past few years, he can turn his mind faster than an abacus. How can he be so easy to be deceived?As for being robbed, unless it is surrounded by a crowd, it is good for Xiangxiang not to rob others.Then Changsha just suffered a fire, and the security was taken over by the army. Who would dare to gather and rob in broad daylight? ! ?
