Far away in Moscow

Chapter 124 Brother Hu Yi
"Jump down?" Xiang Nan was terrified, but amidst the fire and smoke, jumping off the building might be the only option.She stooped behind Old Jiang and came to the middle of the corridor in one breath, and the windows of several rooms passed by were already on fire, and she was completely inaccessible.

More students who woke up from their deep sleep ran out, screaming and rushing left and right in the corridor, not knowing where to run for their lives, and the surroundings were in chaos.

Almost to the other end of the corridor.The stairs over there were supposed to be a fire escape route, but the fire doors had not been closed for a long time, and thick smoke had already poured in.

Xiang Nan only heard Lao Jiang yelling from a distance: "Over there!" Just as he was about to follow the voice to look, he was hit hard by a person running for his life in a hurry, and fell in front of a room, and was trampled several times on his body. foot.

Xiang Nan screamed and struggled to get up, but Old Jiang was gone.She looked to the left of the house, where the curtains and wooden window frames were burning, and now and then sparks flew into the hallway.

Then I turned my head and looked at the room on the opposite side, only to see a Chinese girl screaming and running a few steps up, stretching her arms forward like a swimmer entering the water, and jumping out of the window in a fish leap.Half a second later, rising flames burst in through the open window.

Xiang Nan knelt in a daze and remained motionless, the floor in the corridor gradually began to heat up, with waves of heat blowing on her face, but she didn't realize it.

The towel covering his mouth was almost dry, the hand on the ground was trembling slightly, the people around him were still crying and looking for a way out, and people kept rushing through the flames towards the window, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

The doors of all the rooms were open, and the windows in the rooms were either opened or the glass was shattered. The heart-piercing shouts from downstairs came in along with the howls of wind and fire.

There is also Hu Yi's voice vaguely.

"Brother Hu Yi?" Xiang Nan's tears flowed from his eyes to his cheeks, and quickly evaporated in the heat wave.She shouted with all her strength: "Brother Hu Yi!!!" Then she desperately covered her face to hold her breath, got up and ran into the thick smoke like the night in front of her.

Hu Yi couldn't remember when the rest of the fire engines came downstairs.He only remembered that the fire showed no sign of abating after the fire hose that everyone struggled to drag from the side of the road finally started spraying water.

That's really a drop in the bucket.

After waiting like a year for an unknown amount of time, two fire trucks opened the perennially closed door to the west of the dormitory area, and finally arrived at the scene of the fire after a large circle. They stopped at the west side of Building 6 and immediately began to spray water to put out the fire. , while setting up a ladder to save people.

Hu Yi and others frantically ran to the fire truck, begging them to send a car to the east side where the fire was more violent.

The firefighters were helpless.The reason is simple. The part of the building extending from the Arabic restaurant downstairs on the 6th floor makes the nearby road very narrow, and the fire trucks cannot pass through.

Hu Yi lost her soul and looked up at the students upstairs who were crying and waiting for rescue, but there was no Xiang Nan.

He turned back to the east side, and the fire had reached the fifth floor.The fire in some rooms on the second floor has slightly subsided, probably because there is no more combustible material.

Nobody jumps down anymore.The living people probably crowded to the west side waiting to be rescued.

The shouting gradually subsided.Hu Yi stared at every window with wide eyes, trying to find Xiang Nan's figure from inside.

All in vain.

After an unknown amount of time, two other fire trucks drove along the edge of the woods to the east side of Building 6.Ladders, elevators, and high-pressure water guns are all in place, and the fire rescue has finally begun.

But maybe not many people are waiting for them to save in the building.

Several ambulances also drove into the dormitory, stopped outside the fire site and began to transport the wounded.Then came the police and reporters.

The night has not yet passed, and the snow is still falling.

Friends gathered around Hu Yi one after another.He raised his head and looked at the crowd blankly, without the strength to ask a word.

The group was silent for a while, and Wang Shen said in a low voice: "Well, Lao Hu, don't worry. There are many wounded in Building 8, and there are also Buildings 5 ​​and 7. Let's look for them. "

Hu Yi nodded, turned around and staggered towards Building 8.Wang Shen waved his hands to Xia Yan and Cai Hua: "Go to Building 7 and Building 5, you two, look carefully!" After saying that, he ran a few steps to catch up with Hu Yi.

The lobby of Building 8 was already filled with escaped preppies.Almost all of them were awakened in their sleep. They were still wearing pajamas when they escaped, and they could only rely on the bedding and clothes sent by other students to keep warm.

The students who managed to escape the flames were still immersed in great fear and grief. Some looked dull, some wept silently, and some embraced and cried loudly.

The uninjured and the lightly injured stood in the middle of the hall, while the seriously injured sat or lay against the wall. Several people broke their legs and were moaning in pain, waiting for the medical staff to treat them.

Hu Yi staggered a few steps in the crowd, and suddenly saw Xiang Nan's tall girl sitting weakly against the wall, her whole body was dirty, and her hair was a little burnt.

Hope suddenly rose in his heart, carefully avoiding the protruding legs and feet of everyone on the ground, and quickly walked to the tall girl: "Quiet!"

The girl named Jingjing looked up and saw Hu Yi, and was a little startled: "Brother Hu?"

"Is it just you?" Hu Yi knelt in front of her with one leg and kept looking around: "Where is Xiang Nan? Where is Xiang Nan? Have you seen her?"

"Xiang Nan? I don't know." Jingjing shook her head in a daze, two lines of tears had flowed out, and two obvious marks slid on her blackened face: "We ran out of the house together, and then... and went away."

Hu Yi's heart sank again. Seeing that Jing Jing was only wrapped in a thin blanket, he took off his coat and covered her: "How are you? Are you all right?"

"I...I'm in pain." Jing Jing's teeth trembled a little: "I dare not move, maybe I jumped down and broke my bones."

Hu Yi felt sore, and stretched out his hand to gently stroke Jing Jing's head: "Don't be afraid, the ambulance is right outside. You lie down and don't move, I'll urge them to come over." After saying that, he got up and wanted to leave.

"Wait." Jing Jing called out softly, "Brother Hu, I... I'm not sure."

"what happened?"

"Maybe I got it wrong. But..." Jing Jing bit her lip, and looked at Hu Yi hesitantly: "When I jumped down, it seemed...as if I heard Nan Nan calling you."

"Really!" Hu Yi hurriedly squatted down again: "Why did she shout?"

"It seems to be...'Brother Hu Yi'." Jingjing shook her head slightly again: "I'm not sure, I had already jumped out at that time, and...the surroundings were chaotic. But it does sound like her voice."

"I know!" Hu Yi felt a slight dizziness, got up on his knees and walked out, his feet were a little weak due to the excitement.

If what Jing Jing heard was correct, then the "Brother Hu Yi" that she heard at that time must not be a hallucination.It's just that a long time has passed since then. Although Hu Yi's heart is full of hope, he dare not think about it.
