Strange Records of Heroes
Chapter 1
Tie Zhengran said, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.What are rivers and lakes?It's love and hate.
When he said this, he was on the roof of a building, lying on the iron fence like the little dragon girl in "The Legend of Condor Heroes".But Xiaolong is the most elegant and graceful, but he picks his feet.
He has loose hair, a pair of wooden boots on his feet, and he is dressed like a homeless man, but he has a special aura on his body, which makes people think that this guy is an alien at first glance, and then he can no longer look away.
Iron, clang, and ran are sonorous and powerful when read out, as if there is the sound of metal breaking through the air.
Tie Zhengran is completely different from other people who live by the rules in the city.
Because, he is a "hero".
I still clearly remember the first time I met Tie Zhengran.
Three years ago, I was still in junior high school.Because of a very difficult example problem, the physics tuition was delayed that day.When the teacher announced that everyone could go back, the sky outside was already too dark.After two perfunctory thunderclaps, there was a downpour.
I still don't believe that some people like to be in the rain. The cold water drops on the body take away the temperature, leaving cold and wet, which will only make people more manic.I started running wildly in the rain.
There is a construction site on the right side of the road.This is common in this city, people are constantly tearing down the old and building the new.The big lights on the construction site were on, and the strong light made the surroundings unobstructed. The workers were working, and the rain mixed with mud flowed from high places to low places.I pass by here every day after class, but I never thought that the heavy rain would cause special effects.
There was a strange loud rattling overhead, followed by exclamations from the workers.I looked up subconsciously, and saw a huge black shadow pressing down, accompanied by a terrifying roar.
"Run! The crane is down!" someone shouted.
If at that time, I can continue to move forward at a constant speed, maybe I will be fine.But I, like all those who have encountered emergencies, was completely stunned by the double stimulation of the sudden crisis and the headlights. I could only watch helplessly as the crane got closer, closer, and closer. close……
It is said that the entire process of the crane falling down took only a few seconds, but the picture left in my mind was completely slow motion.I clearly saw a strange figure rushing towards me, followed by a loud noise.
I am still alive.
The giant iron arm of the crane bent into a strange shape and swept towards the wall beside me, making a deafening sound.
The figure turned its back to me, blocking the headlights of the construction site.He had his hair loose and clenched his fist with one hand, like an iron tower.
It was an image that I could never erase from my mind for the rest of my life.
This was the first time I saw Tie Zhengran.
Later Tie Zhengran told me that he was a "Xiamen".It took me three years to gradually understand what a "Xia" is. "Xia" is a completely different existence from ordinary humans, just like Tie Zhengran can block the ton-weight crane that hits me.
It wasn't too difficult for him.As long as it is to save people.
"What if you are going to be smashed?" I asked him.
"Then I can't do it." He looked at me drunkenly, "If it's for myself, the result will be ruined." In a literal sense, this guy must have tried, and I really want to know how many times he has been ruined.
Only when you act in accordance with your position, you have superhuman strength.This is the first rule.
The second is that ordinary people do not know the existence of "Xia".Maybe someone knows, like me, but everyone chooses to keep it secret.These human-like existences are hidden in the secular world, and we are neighbors, but they are very out of the world.Things that humans regard as treasures and are willing to spend their whole lives chasing after them may be just dung. On the contrary, things that you think are worthless may be what they want.Just like the warnings of the old people in many fables, don't make deals with elves or devils, because you can't use human values to measure the other party.
Tie Zhengran gave me the same feeling. For example, he cares about the agreement, but hates the rules.For me, this is much more difficult to understand than physics problems.
And Tie Zhengran's own principle is kindness.Some people say that it is not that kindness has power, but that kindness needs power.Tie Zhengran is power itself, he is needed by kindness, and this is the only way he knows how to survive.
It is said that there are many kinds of criteria for "Xia", maybe I should be lucky that I met him.
Three years later, I entered high school, and my friendship with Tie Zhengran became my secret. With such privacy, people will inevitably become independent.This is nothing unusual, but it made my class teacher very nervous.My class teacher is Tang Xi, female, who teaches physics. It is said that she has just graduated from normal university for two years.I always feel that she falsely reported her age, because the first day I saw her, I made the mistake of "classmate, which class are you in?".
"Bai Xiaoxiu, is there any club you want to join?" Tang Xi stopped me outside the classroom and asked after school.In theory, I should call her Mrs. Tang, but seeing her baby face and T-shirt and short skirt, I can't call her at all.
"The club can meet a lot of new friends!" She said earnestly, but I just wanted to leave quickly.I just gave Tie Zhengran a mobile phone that I knocked out, and I am planning to meet him on the rooftop of a high-rise building near the school after class to teach him how to use it.
"Uh, I have no shortage of friends." I vaguely said.
"Don't you like sports? Bai Xiaoxiu, what do you like?"
"I like it..." I continued to be vague, and said to my sister, please let me go.But this seemingly dumb teacher is still waiting for my answer.
At this moment, I saw her expression suddenly changed, and she looked behind me with a look of surprise.Then I heard a familiar voice: "Why are you still dawdling?"
It's Tie Zhengran.He just squatted on the iron railing of the corridor, like a bird of prey that fell from the sky.
Tang Xi looked at the big man with wide eyes.I was also stunned by Lao Tie's way of appearing on stage, and it took me a long time to think about it: "This is my cousin." I said dryly.
"How did he get in here!" Tang Xi was shocked, "Come down quickly! This is the fifth floor!" She seemed to be trying to stop the students from jumping off the building, but she couldn't do it.
"It's okay!" I hurriedly continued to smooth things over, thinking that it was only the fifth floor, and the rooftop where the old man often stayed was at least the [-]th floor.Under Tang Xi's incoherent insistence, Tie Fengran came down obediently.
Then I found that his eyes looking at Tang Xi were a bit straight, just like my eyes when I saw Scarlett Johansson's new stills.
Tang Xi still failed to persuade me to join the club, and I still hang out with Tie Zhengran after class.It's just that the number of times the old iron came to our school has obviously increased, and it is logical that he was watched by the guard.He could only sneak into the school through various channels, go to the room and climb over the wall.I said, old man, why bother? You see, there are notices at the gate today saying: Recently, a man dressed in a weird way has been haunting the campus. Please be vigilant, and if you find the whereabouts of this man, please come to the guard room to report.His response was scratching his hair and slurring his words.
As for Tang Xi, she was still the same, but the chance encounter that day seemed to have left her with a great mental trauma.When she ran into me, she would ask: "What does your cousin do? I saw him again yesterday." I was very speechless about this.
"Freelance," I mumbled, "freelance."
I'm the more sensitive type of person.When Tang Xi told me for the third time that she saw "my cousin" again, I realized that something was wrong.Pressed again and again, Tie Zhengran finally admitted that "I feel very peaceful when I see her".I suddenly felt that was the highest comment a guy as rootless as an old man could say about a woman.
Tie Zhengran dragged me up into the air, and with just a touch of my feet, I got to the top floor of the business building near the school.The sky is getting dark and the lights are coming on. Looking from a height, the whole city is under your feet.I don't know if all "Xia" like heights, maybe for them, height determines the way they look at the world.
And such a high place seems a bit far away from the brightly lit city life.
In line with the purpose of helping my brothers, I decided to help Tie Zhengran.Even though I don't have much pick-up skills, I can tell with common sense that someone like Lao Tie has no chance of winning against Tang Xi.Unknown, unemployed, looks like a homeless man, not to mention suspected of being a stalker.I suspect that if Tang Xi hadn't had a big heart, he would have called the police a long time ago.
"First of all, let's start with your appearance. Only with a good appearance can people be interested in knowing your inside." I brought up a theory that I don't know where I came from, "Until you completely change your image, don't appear in front of Tang Xi for a while. Alright." Tie Zhengran nodded and said yes.
"...What's the matter with your big dog's expression that doesn't want to go to the hospital?" I couldn't help complaining, "Now there are only two kinds of people with long hair, cynics and artists!" After a long stalemate, Tie Zhengran finally agreed with me to take He gets a haircut.The whole process can be said to be horrible. This guy overreacted to the sharp weapon that clicked on his head, and almost knocked off the roof of the barbershop.Then I lent him a shirt and a pair of baggy jeans.Tie Zhengran refused to change his clogs, so a mixed-looking artist image was born.
Then there is the opportunity to create.After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to package him as an older unmarried cousin who is "trying to take the adult college entrance examination to change his fate".
I don't know how old Tie Zhengran is, he said he doesn't know either.His memory started seven years ago. The first thing he saw was the trash can at the end of the alley, and a wild cat hiding from the rain looked at him from under the trash can.Then there is a little girl holding an umbrella, and the little girl is wearing a pair of colorful rain boots.
That was Tie Zhengran's first awareness of color, the color that escaped from the dark background.
The little girl only had time to hand him a handkerchief before she was called away by her mother.He heard a woman's voice calling, and that voice came from the other side of the alley, where there was a faint light.The pair of colorful rain boots stepped on the water and left just like that.
Tie Zhengran took a lot of effort to stand up, his head was bleeding, and the blood mixed with the rainwater and flowed down.He leaned on the wall and walked forward, towards the lighted end of the alley, towards the place where the little girl disappeared, and finally walked out of the alley and saw the city.
Four years later, on another rainy night, he met me.
After thinking about it, this is probably the so-called fate.The handkerchief was ironically shown to me, and it was tied around his right wrist, as if it was already a part of his body.
In this way, I made a series of plans for him, from how I stopped Tang Xi from talking, how to lead the conversation to Tie Zhengran, until finally he appeared in a brand new style.
That was all a novice with zero experience could do for his brother.
That afternoon, Tang Xi came out from the invigilator of the class next door.
"Teacher Tang." I flashed to her with a smile.
"What's the matter?" Tang Xi held a pile of exam papers and looked at me with malicious intentions.Classmates were bustling past us, I scratched my scalp and said, "Ms. Tang, didn't you ask me what my cousin does last time?"
Tang Xi continued with a puzzled look on her face, "I'm just asking casually...because he always seems to show up at school when he's going to work or school."
I thought it was because you were here.
"Uh ha ha ha, he's actually an artist," I said.
"...artist? What kind of field?" As expected of an adult, his knowledge is wider than that of students like me.
"That's right, that kind, that kind... a drawing board..."
Tang Xi frowned: "You mean street painters in Wenhua Street?"
"Ahahahaha, yes, that's the one!" I started to feel awkward, as if the situation was starting to go out of plan.
Tang Xi frowned even deeper: "Your cousin... graduated from an art major?"
"Ah! No! He never went to school! No, no, no, he never went to college!" I seemed to have caught a life-saving straw, "He wants to take the adult college entrance examination! So I want to ask Mr. Tang, is there any What kind of reference book..."
"Well, oh..." Tang Xi said, "Is this the only thing?"
It was over, and the atmosphere dropped to freezing point.In order to save a little bit of defeat, I made a decisive attack: "Teacher Tang, let me get the test paper for you."
"No need. Are you going to class? Go back to class, your cousin, uh, reference books, I'll make a list for you." She walked past me and walked to the playground.Suddenly a strong wind blew.Tang Xi couldn't dodge in time, and the exam papers in her arms flew away like a flock of white birds.At this moment, a figure flashed out, a few quick steps to catch up to the piece of paper that flew farthest, and then lightly stepped, the whole person turned around and grabbed the other piece as if out of gravity.
Tie Zhengran appeared in front of us in his best way, the paper was flying in the strong wind, but was easily controlled by the man in clogs with his seemingly casual movements.Stepping quickly, turning around, every move is like a chic boxing technique.It was only later that I found out that Tie Zhengran was using the "Drunken Fist", which seemed to be staggering, but in fact it was extremely wanton.The so-called drunkenness means selflessness at the extreme, and the state of mind is clear and transparent.
Tang Xi was also dumbfounded.I dare say that no man can be like Tie Zhengran, casual and refined and full of masculinity.It wasn't until Lao Tie picked up all the exam papers and handed them to her that Tang Xi came back to his senses.
"Thank you, thank you..." She blushed after she finished speaking.
I must say that life is full of surprises.The next day Tang Xi solemnly handed over a stack of reference books to me, which must be a good start.As for Tie Zhengran, he actually decided to start studying hard.I watched him lying on the railing and reading a physics reference book, and I felt an indescribable sense of disobedience.
"You don't really want to go to college, do you?" I asked tentatively.
He stretched his head and looked at me: "You say that a cart with mass M moves along a plane with friction coefficient u, how can you figure out how much effort it takes to pull the cart?"
"..." The so-called obsession probably refers to the kind of time when he doesn't read the book, he hits the countryside, turns around, walks, and fights all the way down, as if he can escape the gravity of the earth, and suddenly pops up in my mind. Those jokes about heroes and beauties,
I asked Lao Tie if he thought Tang Xi was like the little girl who gave him the handkerchief.The man smiled and said nothing.I know that Lao Tie has been walking in this city for so many years and has never met that little girl again, but he still holds out hope that he will see her one day.It became a certain insistence in his heart, about the road of good he was walking, about life was leading him forward in a new way.
There are 300 million people in this city, and there are 300 million ways of life. Looking down from a high altitude, people are bustling forward, watching the streets, waiting for traffic lights at intersections, just like a set procedure.
At a certain intersection in the downtown area, there is a small shadow hovering, a puppy.It wears a collar around its neck and looks at the people crossing the road with eyes wide open and confused.Some passers-by looked at it, and then walked over; some stopped, but only for a while; some took out their mobile phones to take pictures, probably wanting to post on Weibo, with a line "Who lost their dog?" "Such words.
The traffic lights flashed alternately, and people flowed from one direction to the other like a tide.The puppy sniffed hard, trying to find the familiar smell from the migrating group.But after more than ten minutes, all it got was disappointment.Suddenly a pair of feet appeared in front of the puppy, with leather shoes and a short skirt, with a faint fragrance on her body; beside her was another pair of feet wearing clogs. The clogs smelled very strange, like wind and rain, and the soil itself.The owner of the short skirt held out his hand to the puppy, but the dog seemed startled.It tilted its ears, took a few steps back, and suddenly jumped into the middle of the road.A few meters away, a taxi is speeding up.
The puppy is too short to see clearly from the driver's perspective.
The girl in the short skirt screamed.Then I saw the clogs rushing out with a quick step.
Screeching brakes, a muffled sound.
Tie Zhengran was lying on the sofa, with gauze wrapped around his head, and there were coagulated blood on the gauze.This makes him look a bit weird, in fact he is not suitable for injury at all, Tang Xi is cooking red bean soup in the kitchen, I look around, the living room is clean and tidy, and the details are decorated very cutely, like the hostess character.
I received a call from Tang Xi in the afternoon, and the girl told me that Tie Zhengran was hit by a car incoherently.I was shocked by this, not because Li Laotie got into a car accident, but because Lao Tie got hurt.I looked at the old iron, and the old iron looked at me.
"What's going on?" I asked him.In fact, I already knew the details from Tang Xi. She barked so loudly that everyone around saw the whole process of Tie Zhengran running out to grab the dog and then being hit by a taxi.
"It hurts like hell." Tie Zhengran said, frowning.
The driver sent Lao Tie to the hospital. Fortunately, he was fine. The doctor sewed him a few stitches and let him go back to rest.Tang Xi didn't know that Tie Zhengran's family was Huai, so she could only call me in the end.So things became like this, Lao Tie was lying on the sofa in the living room of the woman he liked, and the smell of red bean soup wafted from the kitchen.
If it weren't for the fact that the person involved was Tie Zhengran, this seemed like a perfect plot.
"... just a taxi?" I'm still not sure.Lao Tie stretched out his palm, motioning for me to break his fingers.I did, and then he let out a groan in pain, and we looked at each other again.
"It's gone..." Tie Zhengran said.I know what the "it" in his mouth refers to. When we first met, he blocked the falling crane with one hand, and it was the power to hear the tiny broadcast in the earphone a hundred meters away.
Tie Zhengran's strength disappeared.
Tang Xi came out of the kitchen with a tray, three bowls of steaming red bean soup.Passed a bowl to me, another bowl to Lao Tie, and a small bowl. Tang Xi took it and put it on the cabinet in the corner of the living room.I just noticed that there was a photo there.Tang Xi put the red bean soup in front of the photo and folded his hands together.
Seeing that we were staring at each other, Tang Xi showed us the photos. "This is my younger sister. She loves red bean soup the most." In the photo is a girl who is somewhat similar to Tang Xi, about eleven or twelve years old.
"Six years ago in the summer, my apartment building caught fire. I was in college and my parents were working. Only my sister was home during the summer vacation..." she said softly.
I saw Tie Zhengran's pupils constricted. The girl in the photo was holding a small flower umbrella and a pair of colorful rain boots on her feet.
After that day, Lao Tie fell into a silent and restless mood, reminiscent of the sea before the storm.I tried to help him find the reason for his loss of power, but to no avail.As an ordinary person, I know too little about "Xia", and Tie Zhengran doesn't even know himself.
"Tang Xi likes you very much." I enlightened him dryly, "It's good to be an ordinary person."
Tie Zheng didn't speak.
"Don't you still want to go to college?" I tried to raise his interest.
"Tell me, why do people live?" Lao Tie asked me suddenly, and I choked.
"Why..." I thought for a while, "For fun?" The answer was so bad that I wanted to complain about myself.For fun?Why didn't you say it was for cooking noodles?
"Oh." Tie Zhengran said.
Tang Xi wanted to get rid of the pain, and I wanted to be able to live freely.
I poked my head and looked at my feet. This tall building was full of traffic. The cars were like bento boxes, and the pedestrians were like ants.There are 300 million people in this city, so there are probably 300 million reasons to live. People walk, breathe, and live in a hurry.
"I didn't know that day, there was a fire there." Tie Zhengran said, his voice sounded like a rusty knife hitting a stone pier, "I didn't know, she was inside."
I know who the "she" in this nonsensical sentence is. It is the owner of the white handkerchief on Tie Zhengran's right hand, and it is his expectation and belief.I wanted to say the most "cabbage" comforting word to fill the sudden silence, but I couldn't open my mouth anyway.
"What does Xia live for?" Finally I asked him.He was silent for a long time, shaking his head.
After that, Tang Xi accompanied Tie Zhengran to the hospital several times for reexamination, dressing changes, and stitches removal.I vaguely feel that this is a good thing, sometimes people only need an excuse to get close to others.I even have a feeling that there are some things Tang Xi will never know.And all the days to come will continue like this summer forever.
It turns out I was wrong.
People are prone to sleepiness in the afternoon, and their thinking and reaction will be slow, so when I realized that the smell of smoke wafting into the classroom from the window was too strong, there were already people running and shouting in the corridor.
"It's on fire! It's on fire!"
The teaching building I was in was Building A. Everyone panicked, and I ran downstairs with the panicked crowd.I ran all the way downstairs to the playground, only to see thick smoke billowing from the second floor of Building B next door.
Smoke rolled with the fire and rushed to the sky.People kept running out of the gate of Building B, and I heard cries and then violent explosions.The glass windows couldn't stand the heat, and broken glass scattered all over the floor.This is the knowledge I learned in physics class, but I never thought that I would see it with my own eyes under such a terrible situation.
Some female students on the playground began to cry, and the teacher who reacted began to try to maintain order, but with little success, and the scene tended to become chaotic.
"Class One, Class One, Senior Three! Have you escaped yet!"
"Who else is in there!"
"No, there is only Teacher Tang's experimental class this afternoon!"
"Which floor is it on?"
"Fourth floor, four, four zero three!"
"Call the fire engine! Ambulance!"
"The fire engine says it's on its way!"
Such voices filled the surroundings, countless messages were mixed in the panicked air, the smell of smoke was choking, and the heat wave hit the face.The students are like frightened sheep, driven together by teachers, but these shepherds cannot calm the emotions of the flock, because they are also full of fear.
I almost subconsciously took out my phone and dialed Tie Zhengran's number.
"Where is she?! Where is she!" The old iron arrived before the fire engine, and I suspected that he was wandering around the school.
"[-]..." I pointed at the teaching building blankly, and the second floor was turned into a pillar of fire.[-] is at the upper air outlet, that is, the back of the teaching building. This geographical location leaves the only hope of survival for the people inside.
"Wait... Old Tie! You have no ability now!" Seeing him, I was about to rush in, and I grabbed his hand and shouted.Tie Zhengran looked back at me with wide eyes: "Where's the girl! What's the girl's name?" He asked without reason.
"Who?"
"Tang Xi's younger sister!" he roared angrily.
"...I, I don't know!" I was dumbfounded.Tie Zhengran broke free from me, put his right hand between his nose and mouth, and sniffed.Then run away.
Suddenly, I only saw that handkerchief, the white handkerchief that Tie Zhengran was always wrapping around his right hand.
Most of the victims of the fire died from the smoke.The high-temperature toxic gas produced by combustion can suffocate people in a short time and lose the ability to escape.Tie Zhengran rushed into the teaching building in full view.The hall on the first floor was full of choking smoke, and he ran to the corridor behind the hall, where there was another staircase in the lee.He rushed up, but fortunately the number of floors was marked on the wall of the stairwell. He recognized the number "four" in the smoke, opened the door and jumped in.A corridor was in front of him, with the doors of the experimental classroom on both sides.The smog became thicker and visibility was almost zero.However, Tie Zhengran suddenly heard crying, he followed the sound, and finally found the source of the sound at the door of a classroom.
After realizing the fire, Tang Xi tried to take the students to evacuate downstairs, but was forced to retreat by the thick smoke on the third floor, so she took a dozen students back to the laboratory and fell into a dead end.In order to prevent the valuable equipment in the experimental classroom from being stolen, all windows were equipped with anti-theft fences, which made Tang Xi's intention of asking students to tie ropes with curtains to save themselves from the windows to be meaningless.
The children started to cry, and Tang Xi comforted them while instructing the students to take off their coats and block the door of the classroom.
Then it's a gamble, betting on which one will arrive first, the god of death or the firefighters.Tang Xi coughed and dragged the children to hide in the corner of the classroom, making them cover their mouths and noses with their clothes.
She wondered in a trance, did my sister go through the same process six years ago?Fell into despair after exhausting all means to save himself, and finally died in pain?
According to the firefighters, when they found her sister's body, she was huddled in the corner of the room with her most beloved puppy in her arms.The embers of the fire solidified the sister and her pet into a heartrending sculpture as the dog chose to accept its destiny with its young owner at a critical moment.
Will I die like this too?The smell of smoke in the room was getting stronger.She looked at the huddled coughing students and felt dizzy.
However, at this moment, the door of the classroom opened suddenly, and the smoke wrapped in the air rushed in.Tie Zhengran, this strange man, just appeared at the door.The children looked up and watched in horror as the man pulled their teacher up.
"Let's go!" Tie Zhengran said.
"I can't go away! It's full of smoke!" Tang Xi shouted, "The windows are also sealed!" The man moved to the window, stretched out his hand and shook the fence, but the fence remained motionless.
"It's useless!" Tang Xi roared.The children started crying again.
"It's useful. Tang Xi." Tie Zhengran said suddenly, this was the first time he called her name, "Bai Xiaoxiu said, I can be an ordinary person. It's okay if I don't have power, I can be an ordinary person. But Without power, I can't protect you, and I can't protect anyone..."
He took off the handkerchief from his hand and handed it to Tang Xi.Tang Xi stared at the white handkerchief with wide eyes. The familiar patterns made her memory burst instantly.
"Sister, where is your handkerchief?"
"Give it to a guy, he looks bleeding."
"What kind of person?"
"Like Superman, he fell from the sky."
Tears burst out.Tang Xi tightly held the white handkerchief and covered her mouth and nose with it. She heard Tie Zhengran's roar, like a beast from the prehistoric.The man stretched out his fist and hit the wall with a thunderous momentum.Stone chips splashed everywhere, the reinforced concrete wall shattered in front of him, and the passage to the outside world was opened just like that.
"Come." He stretched out his hand to Tang Xi, his voice full of resoluteness.
Fire engines arrived 10 minutes later.It wasn't that they were too slow, but that the alley in front of the school was blocked by parked cars, and these firefighters could only run forward.
The flame gradually became smaller under the suppression of the high-pressure water gun.There was no wind in the sky in the afternoon, and the dark clouds rolled in the gloomy sky, and then a thunder exploded, and heavy rain poured down.The teachers and students who took refuge ran back to building A to hide from the rain, but I saw two people standing there without moving.
"It turns out that what she met was really Superman, and that Superman was you... Where were you at that time! Where were you when my sister died!" Tang Xi burst into tears, full of anger and sadness, "You are so strong The power! Why didn’t you come at that time? You saved me, why didn’t you come when she had an accident?!”
The rain drenches them, as it did many years ago.Tie Zhengran stood there like a silent iron tower, allowing Tang Xi to pound his chest and shoulders.
I realized in that moment that once he pursued something else, he lost his power, and when he got his power back, he lost everything else forever.
No one died in that fire, and the most seriously injured were taken to hospital simply because they inhaled too much smoke.As time goes by, the terrible memories about the fire will be gradually forgotten. I believe that in a short time, the students will no longer be like frightened birds, and they will not keep talking about the one who broke through the wall and rescued a dozen people. A strange man from a classmate.
This adventure may be buried deep in their hearts, it may be gradually forgotten as they grow up, it may be regarded as a strange story in their youth, but it may also have a different ending.
Tang Xi transferred to another school to continue teaching, and the teaching building was renovated after a summer vacation.People need to forget, they need new beginnings, they need lots of reasons to keep living.
And I finally understood the principle of Tie Zhengran regaining his strength.He is power itself, and only pure and selfless power can be good forever.When he pursues love for someone, he is no longer selfless, just like the elves and devils in the story, who lost their magic power after falling into the world.
He says he won't like anyone anymore, but I know he's lying.Because he still likes to stand on a high place and look at the bright city under the night.
This is his city.And he knew that she was somewhere among the countless bright lights.
"Xia" is still in our city, and there are many legends surrounding them.I decided to write down all these stories, about the rivers and lakes in their mouths, about their love and hatred.
For my decision, Tie Zhengran just laughed. He grabbed my shoulder and led me to jump down from the night sky, as if flying.
When he said this, he was on the roof of a building, lying on the iron fence like the little dragon girl in "The Legend of Condor Heroes".But Xiaolong is the most elegant and graceful, but he picks his feet.
He has loose hair, a pair of wooden boots on his feet, and he is dressed like a homeless man, but he has a special aura on his body, which makes people think that this guy is an alien at first glance, and then he can no longer look away.
Iron, clang, and ran are sonorous and powerful when read out, as if there is the sound of metal breaking through the air.
Tie Zhengran is completely different from other people who live by the rules in the city.
Because, he is a "hero".
I still clearly remember the first time I met Tie Zhengran.
Three years ago, I was still in junior high school.Because of a very difficult example problem, the physics tuition was delayed that day.When the teacher announced that everyone could go back, the sky outside was already too dark.After two perfunctory thunderclaps, there was a downpour.
I still don't believe that some people like to be in the rain. The cold water drops on the body take away the temperature, leaving cold and wet, which will only make people more manic.I started running wildly in the rain.
There is a construction site on the right side of the road.This is common in this city, people are constantly tearing down the old and building the new.The big lights on the construction site were on, and the strong light made the surroundings unobstructed. The workers were working, and the rain mixed with mud flowed from high places to low places.I pass by here every day after class, but I never thought that the heavy rain would cause special effects.
There was a strange loud rattling overhead, followed by exclamations from the workers.I looked up subconsciously, and saw a huge black shadow pressing down, accompanied by a terrifying roar.
"Run! The crane is down!" someone shouted.
If at that time, I can continue to move forward at a constant speed, maybe I will be fine.But I, like all those who have encountered emergencies, was completely stunned by the double stimulation of the sudden crisis and the headlights. I could only watch helplessly as the crane got closer, closer, and closer. close……
It is said that the entire process of the crane falling down took only a few seconds, but the picture left in my mind was completely slow motion.I clearly saw a strange figure rushing towards me, followed by a loud noise.
I am still alive.
The giant iron arm of the crane bent into a strange shape and swept towards the wall beside me, making a deafening sound.
The figure turned its back to me, blocking the headlights of the construction site.He had his hair loose and clenched his fist with one hand, like an iron tower.
It was an image that I could never erase from my mind for the rest of my life.
This was the first time I saw Tie Zhengran.
Later Tie Zhengran told me that he was a "Xiamen".It took me three years to gradually understand what a "Xia" is. "Xia" is a completely different existence from ordinary humans, just like Tie Zhengran can block the ton-weight crane that hits me.
It wasn't too difficult for him.As long as it is to save people.
"What if you are going to be smashed?" I asked him.
"Then I can't do it." He looked at me drunkenly, "If it's for myself, the result will be ruined." In a literal sense, this guy must have tried, and I really want to know how many times he has been ruined.
Only when you act in accordance with your position, you have superhuman strength.This is the first rule.
The second is that ordinary people do not know the existence of "Xia".Maybe someone knows, like me, but everyone chooses to keep it secret.These human-like existences are hidden in the secular world, and we are neighbors, but they are very out of the world.Things that humans regard as treasures and are willing to spend their whole lives chasing after them may be just dung. On the contrary, things that you think are worthless may be what they want.Just like the warnings of the old people in many fables, don't make deals with elves or devils, because you can't use human values to measure the other party.
Tie Zhengran gave me the same feeling. For example, he cares about the agreement, but hates the rules.For me, this is much more difficult to understand than physics problems.
And Tie Zhengran's own principle is kindness.Some people say that it is not that kindness has power, but that kindness needs power.Tie Zhengran is power itself, he is needed by kindness, and this is the only way he knows how to survive.
It is said that there are many kinds of criteria for "Xia", maybe I should be lucky that I met him.
Three years later, I entered high school, and my friendship with Tie Zhengran became my secret. With such privacy, people will inevitably become independent.This is nothing unusual, but it made my class teacher very nervous.My class teacher is Tang Xi, female, who teaches physics. It is said that she has just graduated from normal university for two years.I always feel that she falsely reported her age, because the first day I saw her, I made the mistake of "classmate, which class are you in?".
"Bai Xiaoxiu, is there any club you want to join?" Tang Xi stopped me outside the classroom and asked after school.In theory, I should call her Mrs. Tang, but seeing her baby face and T-shirt and short skirt, I can't call her at all.
"The club can meet a lot of new friends!" She said earnestly, but I just wanted to leave quickly.I just gave Tie Zhengran a mobile phone that I knocked out, and I am planning to meet him on the rooftop of a high-rise building near the school after class to teach him how to use it.
"Uh, I have no shortage of friends." I vaguely said.
"Don't you like sports? Bai Xiaoxiu, what do you like?"
"I like it..." I continued to be vague, and said to my sister, please let me go.But this seemingly dumb teacher is still waiting for my answer.
At this moment, I saw her expression suddenly changed, and she looked behind me with a look of surprise.Then I heard a familiar voice: "Why are you still dawdling?"
It's Tie Zhengran.He just squatted on the iron railing of the corridor, like a bird of prey that fell from the sky.
Tang Xi looked at the big man with wide eyes.I was also stunned by Lao Tie's way of appearing on stage, and it took me a long time to think about it: "This is my cousin." I said dryly.
"How did he get in here!" Tang Xi was shocked, "Come down quickly! This is the fifth floor!" She seemed to be trying to stop the students from jumping off the building, but she couldn't do it.
"It's okay!" I hurriedly continued to smooth things over, thinking that it was only the fifth floor, and the rooftop where the old man often stayed was at least the [-]th floor.Under Tang Xi's incoherent insistence, Tie Fengran came down obediently.
Then I found that his eyes looking at Tang Xi were a bit straight, just like my eyes when I saw Scarlett Johansson's new stills.
Tang Xi still failed to persuade me to join the club, and I still hang out with Tie Zhengran after class.It's just that the number of times the old iron came to our school has obviously increased, and it is logical that he was watched by the guard.He could only sneak into the school through various channels, go to the room and climb over the wall.I said, old man, why bother? You see, there are notices at the gate today saying: Recently, a man dressed in a weird way has been haunting the campus. Please be vigilant, and if you find the whereabouts of this man, please come to the guard room to report.His response was scratching his hair and slurring his words.
As for Tang Xi, she was still the same, but the chance encounter that day seemed to have left her with a great mental trauma.When she ran into me, she would ask: "What does your cousin do? I saw him again yesterday." I was very speechless about this.
"Freelance," I mumbled, "freelance."
I'm the more sensitive type of person.When Tang Xi told me for the third time that she saw "my cousin" again, I realized that something was wrong.Pressed again and again, Tie Zhengran finally admitted that "I feel very peaceful when I see her".I suddenly felt that was the highest comment a guy as rootless as an old man could say about a woman.
Tie Zhengran dragged me up into the air, and with just a touch of my feet, I got to the top floor of the business building near the school.The sky is getting dark and the lights are coming on. Looking from a height, the whole city is under your feet.I don't know if all "Xia" like heights, maybe for them, height determines the way they look at the world.
And such a high place seems a bit far away from the brightly lit city life.
In line with the purpose of helping my brothers, I decided to help Tie Zhengran.Even though I don't have much pick-up skills, I can tell with common sense that someone like Lao Tie has no chance of winning against Tang Xi.Unknown, unemployed, looks like a homeless man, not to mention suspected of being a stalker.I suspect that if Tang Xi hadn't had a big heart, he would have called the police a long time ago.
"First of all, let's start with your appearance. Only with a good appearance can people be interested in knowing your inside." I brought up a theory that I don't know where I came from, "Until you completely change your image, don't appear in front of Tang Xi for a while. Alright." Tie Zhengran nodded and said yes.
"...What's the matter with your big dog's expression that doesn't want to go to the hospital?" I couldn't help complaining, "Now there are only two kinds of people with long hair, cynics and artists!" After a long stalemate, Tie Zhengran finally agreed with me to take He gets a haircut.The whole process can be said to be horrible. This guy overreacted to the sharp weapon that clicked on his head, and almost knocked off the roof of the barbershop.Then I lent him a shirt and a pair of baggy jeans.Tie Zhengran refused to change his clogs, so a mixed-looking artist image was born.
Then there is the opportunity to create.After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to package him as an older unmarried cousin who is "trying to take the adult college entrance examination to change his fate".
I don't know how old Tie Zhengran is, he said he doesn't know either.His memory started seven years ago. The first thing he saw was the trash can at the end of the alley, and a wild cat hiding from the rain looked at him from under the trash can.Then there is a little girl holding an umbrella, and the little girl is wearing a pair of colorful rain boots.
That was Tie Zhengran's first awareness of color, the color that escaped from the dark background.
The little girl only had time to hand him a handkerchief before she was called away by her mother.He heard a woman's voice calling, and that voice came from the other side of the alley, where there was a faint light.The pair of colorful rain boots stepped on the water and left just like that.
Tie Zhengran took a lot of effort to stand up, his head was bleeding, and the blood mixed with the rainwater and flowed down.He leaned on the wall and walked forward, towards the lighted end of the alley, towards the place where the little girl disappeared, and finally walked out of the alley and saw the city.
Four years later, on another rainy night, he met me.
After thinking about it, this is probably the so-called fate.The handkerchief was ironically shown to me, and it was tied around his right wrist, as if it was already a part of his body.
In this way, I made a series of plans for him, from how I stopped Tang Xi from talking, how to lead the conversation to Tie Zhengran, until finally he appeared in a brand new style.
That was all a novice with zero experience could do for his brother.
That afternoon, Tang Xi came out from the invigilator of the class next door.
"Teacher Tang." I flashed to her with a smile.
"What's the matter?" Tang Xi held a pile of exam papers and looked at me with malicious intentions.Classmates were bustling past us, I scratched my scalp and said, "Ms. Tang, didn't you ask me what my cousin does last time?"
Tang Xi continued with a puzzled look on her face, "I'm just asking casually...because he always seems to show up at school when he's going to work or school."
I thought it was because you were here.
"Uh ha ha ha, he's actually an artist," I said.
"...artist? What kind of field?" As expected of an adult, his knowledge is wider than that of students like me.
"That's right, that kind, that kind... a drawing board..."
Tang Xi frowned: "You mean street painters in Wenhua Street?"
"Ahahahaha, yes, that's the one!" I started to feel awkward, as if the situation was starting to go out of plan.
Tang Xi frowned even deeper: "Your cousin... graduated from an art major?"
"Ah! No! He never went to school! No, no, no, he never went to college!" I seemed to have caught a life-saving straw, "He wants to take the adult college entrance examination! So I want to ask Mr. Tang, is there any What kind of reference book..."
"Well, oh..." Tang Xi said, "Is this the only thing?"
It was over, and the atmosphere dropped to freezing point.In order to save a little bit of defeat, I made a decisive attack: "Teacher Tang, let me get the test paper for you."
"No need. Are you going to class? Go back to class, your cousin, uh, reference books, I'll make a list for you." She walked past me and walked to the playground.Suddenly a strong wind blew.Tang Xi couldn't dodge in time, and the exam papers in her arms flew away like a flock of white birds.At this moment, a figure flashed out, a few quick steps to catch up to the piece of paper that flew farthest, and then lightly stepped, the whole person turned around and grabbed the other piece as if out of gravity.
Tie Zhengran appeared in front of us in his best way, the paper was flying in the strong wind, but was easily controlled by the man in clogs with his seemingly casual movements.Stepping quickly, turning around, every move is like a chic boxing technique.It was only later that I found out that Tie Zhengran was using the "Drunken Fist", which seemed to be staggering, but in fact it was extremely wanton.The so-called drunkenness means selflessness at the extreme, and the state of mind is clear and transparent.
Tang Xi was also dumbfounded.I dare say that no man can be like Tie Zhengran, casual and refined and full of masculinity.It wasn't until Lao Tie picked up all the exam papers and handed them to her that Tang Xi came back to his senses.
"Thank you, thank you..." She blushed after she finished speaking.
I must say that life is full of surprises.The next day Tang Xi solemnly handed over a stack of reference books to me, which must be a good start.As for Tie Zhengran, he actually decided to start studying hard.I watched him lying on the railing and reading a physics reference book, and I felt an indescribable sense of disobedience.
"You don't really want to go to college, do you?" I asked tentatively.
He stretched his head and looked at me: "You say that a cart with mass M moves along a plane with friction coefficient u, how can you figure out how much effort it takes to pull the cart?"
"..." The so-called obsession probably refers to the kind of time when he doesn't read the book, he hits the countryside, turns around, walks, and fights all the way down, as if he can escape the gravity of the earth, and suddenly pops up in my mind. Those jokes about heroes and beauties,
I asked Lao Tie if he thought Tang Xi was like the little girl who gave him the handkerchief.The man smiled and said nothing.I know that Lao Tie has been walking in this city for so many years and has never met that little girl again, but he still holds out hope that he will see her one day.It became a certain insistence in his heart, about the road of good he was walking, about life was leading him forward in a new way.
There are 300 million people in this city, and there are 300 million ways of life. Looking down from a high altitude, people are bustling forward, watching the streets, waiting for traffic lights at intersections, just like a set procedure.
At a certain intersection in the downtown area, there is a small shadow hovering, a puppy.It wears a collar around its neck and looks at the people crossing the road with eyes wide open and confused.Some passers-by looked at it, and then walked over; some stopped, but only for a while; some took out their mobile phones to take pictures, probably wanting to post on Weibo, with a line "Who lost their dog?" "Such words.
The traffic lights flashed alternately, and people flowed from one direction to the other like a tide.The puppy sniffed hard, trying to find the familiar smell from the migrating group.But after more than ten minutes, all it got was disappointment.Suddenly a pair of feet appeared in front of the puppy, with leather shoes and a short skirt, with a faint fragrance on her body; beside her was another pair of feet wearing clogs. The clogs smelled very strange, like wind and rain, and the soil itself.The owner of the short skirt held out his hand to the puppy, but the dog seemed startled.It tilted its ears, took a few steps back, and suddenly jumped into the middle of the road.A few meters away, a taxi is speeding up.
The puppy is too short to see clearly from the driver's perspective.
The girl in the short skirt screamed.Then I saw the clogs rushing out with a quick step.
Screeching brakes, a muffled sound.
Tie Zhengran was lying on the sofa, with gauze wrapped around his head, and there were coagulated blood on the gauze.This makes him look a bit weird, in fact he is not suitable for injury at all, Tang Xi is cooking red bean soup in the kitchen, I look around, the living room is clean and tidy, and the details are decorated very cutely, like the hostess character.
I received a call from Tang Xi in the afternoon, and the girl told me that Tie Zhengran was hit by a car incoherently.I was shocked by this, not because Li Laotie got into a car accident, but because Lao Tie got hurt.I looked at the old iron, and the old iron looked at me.
"What's going on?" I asked him.In fact, I already knew the details from Tang Xi. She barked so loudly that everyone around saw the whole process of Tie Zhengran running out to grab the dog and then being hit by a taxi.
"It hurts like hell." Tie Zhengran said, frowning.
The driver sent Lao Tie to the hospital. Fortunately, he was fine. The doctor sewed him a few stitches and let him go back to rest.Tang Xi didn't know that Tie Zhengran's family was Huai, so she could only call me in the end.So things became like this, Lao Tie was lying on the sofa in the living room of the woman he liked, and the smell of red bean soup wafted from the kitchen.
If it weren't for the fact that the person involved was Tie Zhengran, this seemed like a perfect plot.
"... just a taxi?" I'm still not sure.Lao Tie stretched out his palm, motioning for me to break his fingers.I did, and then he let out a groan in pain, and we looked at each other again.
"It's gone..." Tie Zhengran said.I know what the "it" in his mouth refers to. When we first met, he blocked the falling crane with one hand, and it was the power to hear the tiny broadcast in the earphone a hundred meters away.
Tie Zhengran's strength disappeared.
Tang Xi came out of the kitchen with a tray, three bowls of steaming red bean soup.Passed a bowl to me, another bowl to Lao Tie, and a small bowl. Tang Xi took it and put it on the cabinet in the corner of the living room.I just noticed that there was a photo there.Tang Xi put the red bean soup in front of the photo and folded his hands together.
Seeing that we were staring at each other, Tang Xi showed us the photos. "This is my younger sister. She loves red bean soup the most." In the photo is a girl who is somewhat similar to Tang Xi, about eleven or twelve years old.
"Six years ago in the summer, my apartment building caught fire. I was in college and my parents were working. Only my sister was home during the summer vacation..." she said softly.
I saw Tie Zhengran's pupils constricted. The girl in the photo was holding a small flower umbrella and a pair of colorful rain boots on her feet.
After that day, Lao Tie fell into a silent and restless mood, reminiscent of the sea before the storm.I tried to help him find the reason for his loss of power, but to no avail.As an ordinary person, I know too little about "Xia", and Tie Zhengran doesn't even know himself.
"Tang Xi likes you very much." I enlightened him dryly, "It's good to be an ordinary person."
Tie Zheng didn't speak.
"Don't you still want to go to college?" I tried to raise his interest.
"Tell me, why do people live?" Lao Tie asked me suddenly, and I choked.
"Why..." I thought for a while, "For fun?" The answer was so bad that I wanted to complain about myself.For fun?Why didn't you say it was for cooking noodles?
"Oh." Tie Zhengran said.
Tang Xi wanted to get rid of the pain, and I wanted to be able to live freely.
I poked my head and looked at my feet. This tall building was full of traffic. The cars were like bento boxes, and the pedestrians were like ants.There are 300 million people in this city, so there are probably 300 million reasons to live. People walk, breathe, and live in a hurry.
"I didn't know that day, there was a fire there." Tie Zhengran said, his voice sounded like a rusty knife hitting a stone pier, "I didn't know, she was inside."
I know who the "she" in this nonsensical sentence is. It is the owner of the white handkerchief on Tie Zhengran's right hand, and it is his expectation and belief.I wanted to say the most "cabbage" comforting word to fill the sudden silence, but I couldn't open my mouth anyway.
"What does Xia live for?" Finally I asked him.He was silent for a long time, shaking his head.
After that, Tang Xi accompanied Tie Zhengran to the hospital several times for reexamination, dressing changes, and stitches removal.I vaguely feel that this is a good thing, sometimes people only need an excuse to get close to others.I even have a feeling that there are some things Tang Xi will never know.And all the days to come will continue like this summer forever.
It turns out I was wrong.
People are prone to sleepiness in the afternoon, and their thinking and reaction will be slow, so when I realized that the smell of smoke wafting into the classroom from the window was too strong, there were already people running and shouting in the corridor.
"It's on fire! It's on fire!"
The teaching building I was in was Building A. Everyone panicked, and I ran downstairs with the panicked crowd.I ran all the way downstairs to the playground, only to see thick smoke billowing from the second floor of Building B next door.
Smoke rolled with the fire and rushed to the sky.People kept running out of the gate of Building B, and I heard cries and then violent explosions.The glass windows couldn't stand the heat, and broken glass scattered all over the floor.This is the knowledge I learned in physics class, but I never thought that I would see it with my own eyes under such a terrible situation.
Some female students on the playground began to cry, and the teacher who reacted began to try to maintain order, but with little success, and the scene tended to become chaotic.
"Class One, Class One, Senior Three! Have you escaped yet!"
"Who else is in there!"
"No, there is only Teacher Tang's experimental class this afternoon!"
"Which floor is it on?"
"Fourth floor, four, four zero three!"
"Call the fire engine! Ambulance!"
"The fire engine says it's on its way!"
Such voices filled the surroundings, countless messages were mixed in the panicked air, the smell of smoke was choking, and the heat wave hit the face.The students are like frightened sheep, driven together by teachers, but these shepherds cannot calm the emotions of the flock, because they are also full of fear.
I almost subconsciously took out my phone and dialed Tie Zhengran's number.
"Where is she?! Where is she!" The old iron arrived before the fire engine, and I suspected that he was wandering around the school.
"[-]..." I pointed at the teaching building blankly, and the second floor was turned into a pillar of fire.[-] is at the upper air outlet, that is, the back of the teaching building. This geographical location leaves the only hope of survival for the people inside.
"Wait... Old Tie! You have no ability now!" Seeing him, I was about to rush in, and I grabbed his hand and shouted.Tie Zhengran looked back at me with wide eyes: "Where's the girl! What's the girl's name?" He asked without reason.
"Who?"
"Tang Xi's younger sister!" he roared angrily.
"...I, I don't know!" I was dumbfounded.Tie Zhengran broke free from me, put his right hand between his nose and mouth, and sniffed.Then run away.
Suddenly, I only saw that handkerchief, the white handkerchief that Tie Zhengran was always wrapping around his right hand.
Most of the victims of the fire died from the smoke.The high-temperature toxic gas produced by combustion can suffocate people in a short time and lose the ability to escape.Tie Zhengran rushed into the teaching building in full view.The hall on the first floor was full of choking smoke, and he ran to the corridor behind the hall, where there was another staircase in the lee.He rushed up, but fortunately the number of floors was marked on the wall of the stairwell. He recognized the number "four" in the smoke, opened the door and jumped in.A corridor was in front of him, with the doors of the experimental classroom on both sides.The smog became thicker and visibility was almost zero.However, Tie Zhengran suddenly heard crying, he followed the sound, and finally found the source of the sound at the door of a classroom.
After realizing the fire, Tang Xi tried to take the students to evacuate downstairs, but was forced to retreat by the thick smoke on the third floor, so she took a dozen students back to the laboratory and fell into a dead end.In order to prevent the valuable equipment in the experimental classroom from being stolen, all windows were equipped with anti-theft fences, which made Tang Xi's intention of asking students to tie ropes with curtains to save themselves from the windows to be meaningless.
The children started to cry, and Tang Xi comforted them while instructing the students to take off their coats and block the door of the classroom.
Then it's a gamble, betting on which one will arrive first, the god of death or the firefighters.Tang Xi coughed and dragged the children to hide in the corner of the classroom, making them cover their mouths and noses with their clothes.
She wondered in a trance, did my sister go through the same process six years ago?Fell into despair after exhausting all means to save himself, and finally died in pain?
According to the firefighters, when they found her sister's body, she was huddled in the corner of the room with her most beloved puppy in her arms.The embers of the fire solidified the sister and her pet into a heartrending sculpture as the dog chose to accept its destiny with its young owner at a critical moment.
Will I die like this too?The smell of smoke in the room was getting stronger.She looked at the huddled coughing students and felt dizzy.
However, at this moment, the door of the classroom opened suddenly, and the smoke wrapped in the air rushed in.Tie Zhengran, this strange man, just appeared at the door.The children looked up and watched in horror as the man pulled their teacher up.
"Let's go!" Tie Zhengran said.
"I can't go away! It's full of smoke!" Tang Xi shouted, "The windows are also sealed!" The man moved to the window, stretched out his hand and shook the fence, but the fence remained motionless.
"It's useless!" Tang Xi roared.The children started crying again.
"It's useful. Tang Xi." Tie Zhengran said suddenly, this was the first time he called her name, "Bai Xiaoxiu said, I can be an ordinary person. It's okay if I don't have power, I can be an ordinary person. But Without power, I can't protect you, and I can't protect anyone..."
He took off the handkerchief from his hand and handed it to Tang Xi.Tang Xi stared at the white handkerchief with wide eyes. The familiar patterns made her memory burst instantly.
"Sister, where is your handkerchief?"
"Give it to a guy, he looks bleeding."
"What kind of person?"
"Like Superman, he fell from the sky."
Tears burst out.Tang Xi tightly held the white handkerchief and covered her mouth and nose with it. She heard Tie Zhengran's roar, like a beast from the prehistoric.The man stretched out his fist and hit the wall with a thunderous momentum.Stone chips splashed everywhere, the reinforced concrete wall shattered in front of him, and the passage to the outside world was opened just like that.
"Come." He stretched out his hand to Tang Xi, his voice full of resoluteness.
Fire engines arrived 10 minutes later.It wasn't that they were too slow, but that the alley in front of the school was blocked by parked cars, and these firefighters could only run forward.
The flame gradually became smaller under the suppression of the high-pressure water gun.There was no wind in the sky in the afternoon, and the dark clouds rolled in the gloomy sky, and then a thunder exploded, and heavy rain poured down.The teachers and students who took refuge ran back to building A to hide from the rain, but I saw two people standing there without moving.
"It turns out that what she met was really Superman, and that Superman was you... Where were you at that time! Where were you when my sister died!" Tang Xi burst into tears, full of anger and sadness, "You are so strong The power! Why didn’t you come at that time? You saved me, why didn’t you come when she had an accident?!”
The rain drenches them, as it did many years ago.Tie Zhengran stood there like a silent iron tower, allowing Tang Xi to pound his chest and shoulders.
I realized in that moment that once he pursued something else, he lost his power, and when he got his power back, he lost everything else forever.
No one died in that fire, and the most seriously injured were taken to hospital simply because they inhaled too much smoke.As time goes by, the terrible memories about the fire will be gradually forgotten. I believe that in a short time, the students will no longer be like frightened birds, and they will not keep talking about the one who broke through the wall and rescued a dozen people. A strange man from a classmate.
This adventure may be buried deep in their hearts, it may be gradually forgotten as they grow up, it may be regarded as a strange story in their youth, but it may also have a different ending.
Tang Xi transferred to another school to continue teaching, and the teaching building was renovated after a summer vacation.People need to forget, they need new beginnings, they need lots of reasons to keep living.
And I finally understood the principle of Tie Zhengran regaining his strength.He is power itself, and only pure and selfless power can be good forever.When he pursues love for someone, he is no longer selfless, just like the elves and devils in the story, who lost their magic power after falling into the world.
He says he won't like anyone anymore, but I know he's lying.Because he still likes to stand on a high place and look at the bright city under the night.
This is his city.And he knew that she was somewhere among the countless bright lights.
"Xia" is still in our city, and there are many legends surrounding them.I decided to write down all these stories, about the rivers and lakes in their mouths, about their love and hatred.
For my decision, Tie Zhengran just laughed. He grabbed my shoulder and led me to jump down from the night sky, as if flying.
