116. Magic Stick (7)
Nowadays, most people use mobile phones to transfer money, and few of the younger generation carry money. Wei Jin dug around and found exactly one hundred.
"Dad, are you leaving tonight?"
"Um."
Wei Mingyan responded calmly, took the one hundred yuan, opened the ward door and walked out.
It was already very late now, but the hospital was very lively because a wanted criminal had just been caught. The patients' families came out to watch, and even after the police left, they were still standing in the corridor gossiping.
No one noticed that a handsome man wearing a monk's robe left here leisurely.
When he arrived downstairs, Wei Mingyan suddenly stopped, narrowed his cold eyes slightly, and looked northwest.
There, black smoke that people couldn't see was rising, as if forming a huge black net, covering the entire city.
It is really rare for so many people to die in one breath.
The handsome Taoist priest took out the one hundred yuan from his sleeve and raised his hand slightly. The red note in his hand burned. The fire started from the top and was about to burn to the slender white fingertips. The banknotes seemed to be blown up by the wind, and turned into ashes in mid-air.
In Wei Mingyan's eyes, the ashes composed of money seemed to be wisps of light smoke, drifting rapidly to the northwest along the night.
***
To the northwest is the city center, with high-rise buildings everywhere, most of which are office buildings, with a few residential buildings interspersed among them.
At this moment, people in uniforms were busy underneath. A residential building began to burst into flames from the middle. As you went up layer by layer, the higher the top floor, the more dangerous it was.
"Hurry up, move faster over there!!"
The onlookers, the residents on the ground floor who ran out, and the various rescue workers who were busy shuttling around made the place underneath this ordinary building a mess.
The ladder was used for rescue from above, but it was almost useless. The fire was so fierce and strange that the rescuers didn't have a chance to react. It burned all the way to the top as if they were being guided.
When almost everyone focused their attention on the building with thick smoke, a handsome man wearing a monk's robe walked over slowly and looked at the building with slightly calm eyes.
The light-colored mist caused by burning money has slowly drifted into the house. Although there is only one banknote, the light-colored mist that comes out is enough to surround the entire building.
Wei Mingyan watched quietly, found a big tree, and watched as the thick smoke coming out of the building gradually diminished.
Someone shouted excitedly, "The fire has become smaller!"
The rescuers were excited about the rescue. From Wei Mingyan's perspective, a rescuer wearing work clothes could be seen climbing through the ladder into the smoke-filled window.
Because there, there is a pair of hands belonging to children waving for help.

Pan Gang is the oldest member of the search and rescue team. At the beginning of this year, their captain retired, and he once revealed that he hoped Pan Gang would take over as captain.
In fact, there is really nothing good about the position of captain. In China, although the salary of search and rescue personnel is not high, they will receive a large bonus every time they are on duty. The captain only earns a thousand yuan more than the team members.
Not to mention the hard work, if you encounter a big fire that cannot be rescued, you will have to take the blame and be scolded by your family members.
Pan Gang thought for a long time and finally answered.
He has had a strong sense of justice since he was a child. When he saves people, he will feel a sense of satisfaction and pride in his heart, "Ah, I have allowed another person to survive."
Pan Gang is also the one who cannot ignore life the most in their team. Sometimes, in order to save others, he even puts himself in danger.
Therefore, when he saw the child struggling for help trying to climb out of the window but being unable to do so by the card owner, he climbed in without thinking.
Fortunately, this was a high-rise building and there was no anti-theft net. Pan Gang reached the room easily. He picked up the boy and was about to pass it outside when he suddenly heard the sound of a dog barking outside.
Pan Gang was stunned for a moment, and then, along with the barking of the dog, the cry of the baby also sounded.
The Huaguo ladder was invented by an old expert. In order to facilitate rescue, the ladder cannot be made too wide. Therefore, two search and rescue personnel go up together every time, and only five people can be put down at most.
The teammates outside were responding, and Pan Gang handed over the frightened little boy who had been crying, and he rushed out of the room while smoking.
The baby cried softly a few times, as if it was choked and stopped making any sound. Pan Gang couldn't determine the location, and there was thick smoke floating in from the outside all around, making it almost impossible to tell the direction.
Just when he was worried, the dog barked quickly again. Along with the dog barking, there was also the sound of the dog pulling open the door on the left side.
Accompanied by the rapid and anxious barking of the dog, Pan Gang touched the locked door.
He used a tool to pry it open, and the scene inside came into view.
The baby, who looked like he was just born, was lying on the bed crying, with no one around him.
Strangely, he clearly heard the dog barking.
And for such a young child, since the door to the room is locked, how can no one at home watch it.
He first suspected that he was choked by the smoke. After handing the baby out, he began to search all over the house. However, after searching the whole house, not only could no one be found, but even the barking of the dog had disappeared without a trace. .
what's the situation?
Pan Gang was stunned when his teammates' voices came from outside, "Pan Gang, are you okay?"
"coming."
When Pan Gang went out for the last time, he vaguely saw the photos on the table through the smoke.
It was a good-looking man holding a girl who was smiling happily. The two were in an intimate pose. Next to the girl, a dog sat obediently.

The rescuers worked hard for a long time before the fire in the building stopped. Then came the aftermath.
Most of the people in the fire were not burned to death, but choked to death by the smoke or jumped to death trying to avoid the flames.
After receiving the alarm, the rescuers laid out life-saving mats downstairs. Some of the people who jumped from upstairs survived but broke their arms and legs. Some were not so lucky and died despite having life-saving mats.
The building itself is very conspicuous, and it is in the city center. The news spread quickly. People with family members in this building rushed over quickly, surrounded the cordon, crying and cursing continuously.
Wei Mingyan did not get close to the crowd. He just leaned against the tree lazily, watching a man carrying a large bag desperately squeeze into the crowd.
"My child, my child is still inside, let me in, let me in..."
His mood may not be the most exciting among the people present, but it is definitely the saddest. Especially since he looks good, rushing in to save his child with red eyes aroused the sympathy of most onlookers.
Such a young father lost his child like this, eh...
In the midst of his grief-stricken shouts, a woman with a white face and weak steps looked in disbelief in the direction of the burning high-rise building, and then looked at the man who was shouting to rush in to find her child.
"Bai Yumu, where is the baby? Isn't the baby under your care?"
She rushed forward like crazy and grabbed the man's collar, "Where is the child? Where is my child??"
"Child, the child is up there..."
The look on Bai Yumu's face was also one of despair. He lowered his head and looked at the supermarket bag he had been holding in his hand. "I just went down to buy snacks for Quanquan. I thought it would be fine for a while, but when I come back..."
"Quanquan is also up there???"
If my daughter still couldn't believe it just now, now she is almost as pale as ashes.
She staggered back first, then without saying a word, passed directly behind the cordon and rushed into the building.
The woman moved too fast and was caught off guard. She was about to rush to the door, but was barely dragged back by the rescuers.
"Ma'am, it's very dangerous inside now..."
"Let me go!!! My child is still inside, let me go, I want to save him!!"
Just when she almost couldn't help but bite, a crying male voice suddenly said, "Sister."
"Quanquan...Quanquan..."
The woman turned around stiffly. After seeing the boy being held by the rescuers, she rushed over with weak hands and feet, and kept touching her brother's face with her hands.
"You're okay, you're okay..."
The baby's cry attracted her, and she took her child from Pan Gang with almost trembling hands.
"Baby, my baby..."
Bai Yumu's face was full of pain just now, but after seeing that both children were rescued, he sank slightly.
He grasped the supermarket bag tightly with his hands, his eyes darkened and he didn't know what he was thinking, when a clear dog barked.
"Woof woof woof!!"
Bai Yumu froze, his eyes followed the sound of the dog barking, and his eyes met a handsome man wearing Taoist robes.
His slender white hands gently stroked the head of the big dog next to him. Wei Mingyan squatted half-crouched, and a smile appeared on his face that was many times more beautiful than Bai Yumu's.
He opened his mouth and said something that Bai Yumu couldn't hear.
―You are in debt.
As the words fell, the obediently squatting big dog disappeared little by little.
***
In the hospital ward, Wei Jin, who still didn't know what was happening outside, was sleeping on a recliner, scratching his body with blurred eyes.
Strange, why do I feel itchy on my body today, but I feel quite comfortable.
Where he couldn't see, golden threads floated toward Wei Jin in the northwest direction, circled around Wei Jin, and then penetrated into his body.
The merit of these dozens of saved lives was attributed to the owner of the one hundred yuan.
The merits and virtues are in the body, and all the bad luck will retreat.
From then on, Wei Jin was like a crab walking sideways.
The author has something to say: Will the top ten little angels give out red envelopes?
Goodnight everybody
