The crowd was blocking, but the voice was slightly deep and very charming, and it grabbed people's attention as soon as she opened her mouth.

The old man smiled and said yes, I will have to bother you for a while.

At this time, a baby crying came from the left row. A young mother in simple dress patted the child's back, took out a cloth tiger to tease it, and stopped crying after a while. She was the only woman in the car, and her voice sounded like a southerner. The old man asked her, why did the eldest sister come to Peiping alone

The woman said that my husband is working in Peiping, and it is estimated that he will not be able to return home this year, so he brought the child to him. what about you

The car was parked on the side of the road at this time, three people got off, and the man in the corner also moved to a seat outside. Only then did the mother holding the child see his full appearance. He was dressed in extraordinary clothes, obviously not ordinary people, but more outstanding. The only thing is his looks, and he has a certain spirit in his handsomeness. The man nodded and said, "Like you, I am looking for someone."

"Is it a wife?" She guessed that in terms of the other person's appearance, she should have married early.

The old gentleman next to him laughed loudly, wanting to say that big sister, you guessed wrong. But the man said, "Almost."

Li Langyu got into a car halfway through and arrived near Qiao's house near noon. At this time, a cloud of smoke billowed up from the southern sky, sinking from the sky above the sky, pressing down on the treetops and roofs. When he got out of the car, he heard a noisy shout: "It's on fire! It's on fire!" Then he saw three or five servants of the Qiao family running out with their luggage.

Li Langyu grabbed one and asked what was going on. The man said that something was burning in the barn, as if someone was inside. He was suddenly startled, looked around, and found no sign of Aunt Bai in the chaotic crowd. It stands to reason that she should have left two hours ago. Li Langyu hoped so, but suddenly a nameless panic arose, so he asked the people who ran out one by one. , have not seen her.

Finally, he found a girl who was also working in the kitchen. She told Li Langyu that Commander Qiao piled those that could not be taken away in the barn and set it on fire. He originally planned to take Aunt Xu with him, but the white The woman suddenly appeared and insisted not to let Aunt Xu go. Later, someone found a pass in Aunt Xu's bag. Commander Qiao thought she had planned to escape, so he locked them both in the barn.

Li Langyu was choked by a gust of wind, blocking his breathing. The street was full of messy voices, all of which were squeezing into his ears at the moment, causing a roar in his head.

Li Langyu ran towards the gate of Qiao's house and happened to bump into Qiao Guanglin's car. Qiao Guanglin noticed him and asked a few of his subordinates to stop him, pulling the muscles on his face and smiling: "So you are here, I am still thinking about why you disappeared, give you a chance, I can take you away."

"Who wants to go with you!" Li Langyu scolded him with straight eyes, "1.67 million people are here waiting for a truce, you are burdened with heavy responsibilities and do not inspire people's hearts, and you ignore everyone, you are a coward!"

Qiao Guanglin had no shame: "It's for Zhilan's sake, otherwise I wouldn't care about you. Don't regret it when this battle starts."

"Don't mention my mother's name, you don't deserve it!"

Qiao Guanglin made a look and asked him to be brought to him: "It's useless for you to scold me, I'm not from Peiping like you, and I don't like this city the most. Since you don't leave, I'll tell a secret. He lowered his voice and whispered into the other person's ear, "Actually, on the day your dad had an accident, I knew that he was framed by Feng Shangyuan."

How can there be guilt and guilt after many years, and feelings and reasons that can't be resisted, all of which are just tricks to fool people!

Li Langyu froze, his mind buzzing. After he reacted, he became furious and dragged Qiao Guanglin by the collar to pull him out. Qiao Guanglin seemed happy to see his expression, he laughed, started the car He was left behind. At this moment, there was a bang in the house. It was the location of the warehouse, and a quarter of it had collapsed. Li Langyu couldn't take care of his inner resentment, and hurried in. He saw Xu Zhenru sitting there with a gray head and a gray face, trying to pry open something.

Seeing him, Xu Zhenru was like finding a life-saving straw, she almost ran and crawled over, begging him with tears on her face: "Brother Mingshu, Brother Mingshu, please save my mother, she is fast in it. No longer."

The two were trapped in the burning house before. Bai Jingqiu helped her out, and a beam fell off. Bai Jingqiu blocked her and hit the back of her head. She is now unconscious. The fire inside was too fierce, and a part of it collapsed, and Xu Zhenru couldn't pry the backlog.

The main entrance was blocked by the sea of flames. Li Langyu hurriedly followed the collapsed slope to the top. He and Xu Zhenru dug out the hot stones with their bare hands. Running to his face, finally, a small exit appeared. Li Langyu asked Xu Zhenru to wait outside, and then jumped down alone.

The distance of four meters high, fortunately there is a table below, providing a temporary foothold. He looked for someone through the black smoke, and finally found a comatose Aunt Bai next to the cabinet. He shouted a few times and didn't respond. Li Langyu was covered in sweat, rummaging around, finding a hemp rope, which was firmly tied to her body.

Xu Zhenru's voice faintly came from above, and at this moment, the other half of the house also began to collapse. He carried Bai Jingqiu to the table and threw the other end of the rope towards the exit. After a dozen attempts, he finally threw it outside. Xu Zhenru pulled the other end of the rope hard, and he sent Bai Jingqiu up a little bit. During this time, the flying sand and dust continued to fall, almost covering Li Langyu's vision. After half an hour, Xu Zhenru pulled Bai Jingqiu out. She untied the rope and threw it to Li Langyu below. She excitedly shouted, "Brother Mingshu, come up quickly."

However, Li Langyu could no longer hear what she was talking about. His vision was blurred and he couldn't distinguish objects. A huge crackling sound was heard around him. Suddenly, his feet sank. The legs of the table were burned, and he fell to the ground. But what was terrifying was that the whole house collapsed in a crash.

With a loud bang, the world went dark.

Chapter forty-nine

The red sun gradually moved to the top of the mountain in the west, and it was much older than it was at noon. On the Xiheyan Street in Beiping, the young man selling fried chestnuts rode a small tricycle, passing by the door of each house, shouting like a long tail across the street alley. There was an old woman on the side of the road. She set up a long table, and there were two rows of freshly made big flower cakes and pea yellows. The styles were exquisite, and passers-by would buy a pound or two when they smelled the fragrance. Not far away is an elementary school, which was built two years ago. The sound of piano playing wafts from a classroom. A young female teacher is teaching the children to sing Li Shutong's "Farewell" - "Outside the long pavilion, along the ancient road, the grass is blue and green. …”

Whether this war will be fought or not, no one knows, but the people of Peiping always choose to live a lively life. When they entered the teahouse, they read the newspapers, and the front-page news was alarmist every day. Everyone raised their eyebrows without commenting. When they went out, they ran into old friends and talked about the recent chaos. There was nothing more than one truth: In Peiping, your position No matter how old you are, how rich your family is, and how many friends you have, you can’t escape the word “rules”.

The Xicheng Police Station in the city center saw the fire and immediately dispatched a detachment to the scene. Water cannons, iron saws, moon axes, bamboo ladders, and various tools took turns to fight. A dozen people worked hard for an hour and finally extinguished the fire. Fire, half of the sky is now gray. Xu Zhenru and Bai Jingqiu were put aside, and several doctors came. She told a firefighter that there were still people inside.

Eighty percent of the barn collapsed, and there were burnt wooden beams and rubble on the ground. They were piled up a little high, so there were voices around: "This person is going to be inside, probably not saved."

The leading police officer asked everyone to find shovels and shovels. A dozen people were not strong enough to clean up the scene. He went out again and called on neighbors in Beiping to help. So, the intellectuals who read the newspaper came out of the teahouse, and the three-wheeled guy changed his shout from "fry chestnuts" to "clean up the fire." A group of people were watching the chess game, and now they were all saying, "Let's go, let's go." They took the tools and headed for the barn. A shed was built at the west entrance of the street. The refugees who came to Peiping some time ago lived here. The people inside contributed five push carts. The car and a dozen bamboo baskets were used by the police to transport bricks and tiles.

The weather is still cold, and the moat area is busy, but there is a hot anger. Peiping is very lively, and rules are followed. This rule is not about winning or losing, or being ugly, but about etiquette and face. It is not good for one person, and everyone has to be good.

Bai Jingqiu had regained consciousness. Xu Zhenru picked up two pots of hot water from the house, carried a bucket of enamel cups, and sent them to the barn. She poured the water into the cups, and people came to pick them up one by one. At this time, there was a A voice sounded from the side: "Is Lang Yu with you?" Xu Zhenru turned around and saw the face of the person who came. She shook her hand and overturned the glass in fright: "You, you... you..." She couldn't say a complete sentence in surprise. Words, I just feel that what I see is unbelievable.

Cheng Hanliang picked up the cup for her and asked again, "Where is he?" Xu Zhenru stretched out his finger tremblingly and pointed to the opposite side. Cheng Hanliang frowned and rushed over with the old gentleman next to him.

"Everyone said that the house collapsed like this, and it's probably hopeless. You must find him." Xu Zhenru shouted at his back.

Cheng Hanliang turned around, paused for two seconds, and said, "I never believed in most people, and he, like me, didn't believe either."

People on the ground were constantly busy, from two o'clock in the afternoon until the sky turned dark. Li Langyu pushed the iron door above, but it still wouldn't open. He was now in the wine cellar below the barn. I helped Qiao Guang before
