Shen You used to think that the stairs in this broken place were the worst, but now he has to change his mind. The bed is also rotten, and when you lie on it, it makes a creaking noise. It's like tearing down a house without doing anything.
Shen You was terrified the whole time, his back was so tight that he was afraid that the bed would collapse, so he scolded this broken shop 110,000 times in his heart.
Gu Laijunmei's face also saw a little thin sweat, and it was slightly cold to the touch. There were tooth marks dotted on his right arm, all of which were bitten by Shen You when he was in love just now. Did not disappear.
The bathroom is not big, it can barely accommodate two people. After the two of them took a shower, they both didn't want to move. They were in a philosophical time of no desire and no desire. Being able to play with himself, he dug out the stone he had just bought at the night market stall, sat by the window and sharpened it with a file, and it didn't take long for him to see color.
Shen You felt very strange: "You are lucky, you really drove it out, it seems... it's blue."
But they are all cheap stones, not worth the money.
Gu Lai's original shape is a blue ball. He heard the words and polished it more and more seriously, and commented with a happy expression: "Blue is beautiful."
Shen You thought that Gu Lai liked it, but money was second, so he moved a chair and sat next to him, sorting out the messy jade thread. He had a slight obsessive-compulsive disorder. Not the slightest confusion.
The sky outside is getting thicker and thicker, but the lanterns hanging on the street market are lit one by one. Fireworks for celebration are placed on the arch bridge, and they explode in the night sky. Some foreign tourists come for the local lantern festival, but they are not seen during the day When I go out, I invite friends and companions to take pictures and sightseeing at night.
Shen You leaned out and glanced out, only to feel that there were a lot of people, the streets were so crowded, it was difficult to insert a needle, where was there any desire to join in the fun, and he was too noisy, so he closed the window directly.
The stone in Gu Lai's hand has been ground for most of the time, the file is slightly flat, and the further it goes, the more it will not grind, so he has to stop, collect the things one by one like a treasure, and then ask Shen You: "I'm hungry, am I hungry? Go down and buy something to eat?"
Shen You heard the words and got up and wanted to go together, but Gu Lai lightly pressed his shoulders: "It's too crowded underneath, you sit, I'll be back soon."
Shen You heard the words and didn't insist any longer, just crossed Erlang's legs with a half-smile and said: "It doesn't matter, there are many beautiful women below, you can walk around slowly, take a few more photos, and come back slowly."
Gu Lai Yiyan nodded, hiding the smile on his lips: "Okay, I'll go shopping and come back."
Shen You could only stare in anger.
When Gu Lai came downstairs, the proprietress was lying on the counter and dozing off. Unfortunately, not many customers came. The fat cook was squatting at the door sifting peanuts, and carrying a bottle of bottomed oil into the kitchen, back and forth. The footsteps are a little swaying, as if drinking a lot of wine.
Gu Lai stepped into the crowd with one foot, and as if remembering something, he took it back: "Boss, do you have any authentic snacks here?"
The fat cook lit a low-quality cigarette and spoke in a strong local accent: "My family's fried peanuts are the best, Aunt Cao's bean curd from Dongjie, and a spicy fish pot sold by an old man, but he always carries the burden everywhere. Akira, go look at the river across the street, he might be there watching people play chess."
In addition to the first sentence, the latter few should be more credible.
Gu Lai nodded: "Thank you."
When he walked out of the inn, Gu Lai glanced up subconsciously, but Shen You happened to be looking at him from the window, and when he was found, he slammed the window shut, leaving only a hidden gap.
Gu Lai smiled, his figure submerged in the crowded sea of people, hidden in a dimly lit lantern.
The fat cook turned on the gas stove to heat the oil, and found that the remaining oil was not enough to fry the peanuts. He used an iron spoon to scoop the pot twice, spit the smoke out of his mouth, and squatted down and rummaged through the junk. , unfortunately found nothing.
"Mother-in-law, look at the ignition, I'll go upstairs and get a barrel of oil down."
The fat cook walked upstairs with heavy steps. The wooden escalator creaked and seemed to be unable to bear him. The fat cook uttered a foul language and climbed up to the cubicle on the third floor, only to find that the light bulb was broken. , I can only use a flashlight to search for oil drums in a pile of dry goods. The proprietress mumbled a few times in her sleep, changed direction and continued to sleep on her stomach. No one noticed the oil pan gurgling and smoking on the stove.
An unburned cigarette butt rolled into the corner and sparks scattered.
This homestay is a wooden building. It has been in disrepair for a long time and has no safety measures. When the fat cook was sweating profusely looking for the oil drum, when the proprietress was about to wake up from her sleep, the flames had already started licking everything around. .
The piles of debris in the kitchen were on fire, along with the blue-dyed floral cloth hanging on the wall for decoration. Outside was an old wooden staircase, and an orange-red fire dragon stalked up and ignited. It's just a moment.
When the fat cook realized something was wrong and hurried down from the attic, most of the entire staircase was on fire, the oil drum in his hand slammed to the ground, and he slapped his legs in a hurry, his voice changed: "Oh, it's not good. Mother-in-law! It's on fire!!! Hurry up and report 119!"
The stairs were covered with grease all the year round. His feet slipped, and the reel rolled down like a ball. The wooden steps were directly smashed into a gap. The fat cook's clothes caught fire with a sudden rush, and he was so anxious that he rolled on the ground. .
Shen You was playing games on the bed originally, but he was really lacking in energy, so he fell asleep before he knew it, maybe it was an illusion, he faintly smelled a burnt stench during half-dreaming and half-awake, and he frowned unconsciously, dripping in cold sweat. Then he suddenly opened his eyes in panic.
The burnt odor became more pronounced.
His face changed, he realized what was happening, and he quickly put on his shoes and got out of bed. Who would have thought that as soon as the door was opened, thick smoke would blow in, choking so much that tears came out, and his throat was dry and tingling as if he had sucked in sand. .
There was a lot of noise around.
"Oh my god! It's not good, it's on fire! Hurry up and pour water! Who has a fire extinguisher?!!"
"The fire is so big that the fire extinguisher can't do it, hurry up and call the police!!"
"Is there anyone else inside?! Is there anyone else inside?! There seems to be someone upstairs!"
"Let him jump off!"
"Oh, I can't jump! There are wires underneath!"
The already crowded Qingshi Lane became more and more panic, and a large number of residents gathered together. Some people scooped water from the river and poured it into it. Some people were hoarse to evacuate the crowd. They took out their quilts and tried to put them on the ground as air cushions. Not leaving the half open space, there will be a mess in a short time, and more people are watching the fun.
One can face death once, but there is no way to face death a second time.
Shen You couldn't help remembering the fire many years ago, his muscles twitched involuntarily, and his whole body was burning with pain, as if someone had smashed his bones in one fell swoop.
The smoke was billowing, and Shen You was so smoked that he couldn't see anything clearly. He groped around on the table, grabbed something in a hurry, hurriedly stuffed it into his pocket, and then wet the sheet with water to cover his mouth and nose, again and again He wanted to rush out, but was forced back again and again by the scorching fire waves.
The water in the sheets was instantly evaporated, and the temperature was even hotter than the red-hot coals, and a large amount of poisonous gas was inhaled into the mouth and nose, like a hand strangling the throat, blocking all breathing.
"Don't block, don't block! Hurry up! The fire truck is here!"
"Everyone, disperse quickly! Human life can't be delayed!"
Thick smoke billowed into the sky, and the scorching flames could be seen from far away. When Gu Lai confirmed that the fire was where they were staying, the packed lunch box in his hand fell and fell on the ground in an instant.
Gu Lai's mind went blank. Before he could react, his body thought and acted first. He shuttled through the crowd at a very high speed, and he had no time to care when he bumped into someone. He finally ran to the door of the inn and listened to the lively residents outside. He babbled: "What a sin, the fire trucks are blocked, what can the person inside do!"
The wooden staircase could no longer withstand the heavier weight. After a dull roar, it collapsed halfway down. Just as the people outside were anxious, a figure suddenly rushed into the fire scene and crossed the broken staircase in three or two steps. Submerged in heavy fire.
Human life is very short, only a few hundred years.
Human life is very fragile and can be easily destroyed by an accident.
No one can turn back time, and not everyone can have the chance to do it all over again.
Dead is really dead.
It was the first time that Gu Lai was so panicked. He didn't care about the skin burned by the heat wave, he kicked the crumbling door open, and then found Shen You lying on the ground in a semi-conscious state. He picked him up immediately and rushed sideways. go out.
God seemed to be deliberately not giving them a way to survive. Before they reached the entrance of the stairs, they only heard a loud bang. The kitchen exploded, and the remaining stairs were blown to pieces, and there was no way to go down. Gu Lai Subconsciously, he protected Shen You sideways, but he was also dizzy by the powerful explosion, and both fell to the pile of ruins with him.
Shen You didn't know when he woke up, he coughed a few times, and forcibly held back, he saw Gu Lai clearly in the thick smoke, and once thought that his eyes were dazzled, he was so shocked that his organs were torn apart, and he grabbed it. His collar: "Who the fuck made you come up!"
His throat was broken, like rough gravel on paper.
Gu Lai didn't speak, he stood up on his hands. It was rare that he didn't correct his swear words. He felt a little bit of pain. He looked down in a daze, only to find that a wooden thorn had been embedded in his abdomen at some point, and there was a shallow thorn. Bloodstains came out a little bit, and the black sweater was so wet that it could squeeze out water, and it was dark and deep.
He stumbled a bit, then fell to the ground uncontrollably. Only then did he find that unknown fragments were embedded in his back, and blood dripped down wetly.
Gu Lai thinks, the human body is too fragile...
He wanted to stand up, but he couldn't stop the loss of strength. With a little movement, blood gurgled out, and he gradually began to have symptoms of tinnitus and dizziness, and he couldn't focus his eyes anymore.
The fire outside was too big, and there was no way to rush out. Shen You Yaoyao heard the sound of the fire truck, stood up, and knelt down unable to control it. The veins on his forehead burst, and he slapped himself violently. He tried his best to drag Gu Lai to a corner with less fire.
Gu Lai's body still hasn't erased some of the system's programs.
[Ding, the detection is severely damaged by an unknown external force, the sleep state will be automatically turned on, and the outside world will not be able to be sensed during the period, countdown, 3, 2, ... ]
[Turn off hibernation. 】
[Ding, the detection has been severely damaged by an unknown external force. After scanning, it is recommended to enter the hibernation program. Forced shutdown may cause damage to the motherboard. The remaining energy is less than 5%, which is not enough to maintain a normal state. Is it closed? 】
【Yes. 】
[The operation is successful and has been closed. 】
Gu Lai opened his eyes and found that Shen You was holding him firmly in his arms. The other party was half-kneeling and propped up above, blocking the falling spark debris for himself. There were black marks on his shoulders, blood black. mottled.
Gu Lai moved his hand to his abdomen, pulled out the wooden thorns in his body with a blank face, measured the fire outside, and finally determined that there was a 30% chance of escaping. , there was another blood gushing out of his abdomen, struggling to get up, but was firmly guarded by Shen You.
Shen You could faintly smell the burnt smell of his own flesh. He was so painful that his hands were shaking, cold sweat dripped down, and then quickly evaporated due to the high temperature around him. From time to time, heavy objects fell and hit him. There was a dull sound on his shoulders, but he didn't move.
The beams in the room had already collapsed in half, and they were gradually rolling towards them. Gu Lai never realized that Shen You's strength could be so strong that it was difficult for him to break free. Looking at Shen You: "It's okay, let go of me..."
He is a system, a piece of written program, there is no life and no death.
He can take Shen You out.
Reckless.
Shen You was covered in blood, and his handsome facial features were blurred. He protected Gu Lai's wound and head, and said in a low voice, "This time I died for you, I don't regret it, you know..."
[Ding, the remaining energy is less than 2%, a serious warning, it is recommended to enter the dormant state. 】
[Uninstall the hibernation program. 】
[Cleared. 】
The beam on the top was overwhelmed and fell straight from the air. Gu Lai did not know where the strength came from, and suddenly he pushed Shen You down with all his strength and held up a little distance. The heavy beam crushed most of the house. smashed straight into his spine—
Gu Lai closed his eyes and waited for the program to collapse. However, a shallow blue light lit up around him, and the beam was blocked by an invisible force, and the dust was scattered in the air.
The whole world seemed to have been pressed the pause button, and it was unbelievably silent.
The flames maintained a meandering shape and stopped beating; the remaining water from the fire tickled down, and finally stopped in mid-air; people kept their postures for the last second, like a lifeless painting.
A light blue light curtain slowly unfolded in mid-air, reflecting the appearance of a beautiful woman. The medal on her shoulders was a cluster of gorgeous roses, coiling around the sharp blade, and she whispered, "System 008. "
Gu Lai was stunned for a moment, but he didn't respond in time, unconsciously, he hugged Shen You tightly, his face lost his expression for a while: "Executive Lord..."
The woman's chestnut curly hair fluttered: "This human body will usher in death in the next second, come back to the space station with me."
Gu Lai didn't say a word, but his nervousness leaked out. The executive's mental power is a dense net that tightly binds all systems of thinking.
The executive asked, "Is it good to be human?"
Gu Lai didn't know how to describe it: "It's very complicated."
But it's far better than being an icy program.
The executive glanced at Shen You: "Do you want to be a system and have endless lives, or be a human and only live for decades?"
Gu said: "Human, I want to be human."
This world is an icy circular chain. The cause and effect owed many years ago will be repaid in another way after years of overlapping, and they will meet and reunite at a given time.
The executive did not speak, and after a while, cut off the spiritual connection between them: "Gu Lai, live well."
"In the future, your life will no longer be maintained by cold mechanical energy, but by warm blood."
The light curtain was in mid-air, dissipating silently into the invisible, and the woman's face gradually blurred, as if it had never appeared.
Gu Lai staggered and picked up Shen You and walked out step by step. The light blue light was pulled out from his body, and then turned into countless fragments, filling the incomplete path, and finally forming a translucent staircase.
【warn! warn! Energy leak! Energy leak! 】
Gu Lai stepped over the flames and walked down step by step.
[The energy is less than 1%, and the function is paralyzed in a large area. Please replenish the energy in time, and the dormancy state will be forced to open... Ding! The hibernation program has been cleared and cannot be forced into. 】
Gu Lai: [Close the saver]
[ding, closed]
Gu Lai: [Clear all programs and cut off the connection of spiritual power. This is the last command, and will not be repeated. 】
【Ding! Please confirm again. 】
Gu Lai: [Confirm. 】
When he walked to the door with Shen You in his arms, the stairs built by the blue energy cover burst with a bang, and the flames continued to devour everything around him. In the crevices of bluestone.
