Wildfire and Cotton

[Two-way redemption + Fake brother and sister + Fireworks in the city + Chasing the murderer in a mining accident + Reunion] When Ji Mian was nine years old, she followed her mother to Lan Town and lived in a shanty town in the mining area, next door to Shen Ye. Shen Ye is the son of a miner. He fights at the risk of his life. He gets perfect marks on the math test. The knife in his hand can cut wood and puncture bicycle tires. The first thing he taught Ji Mian was not to read, but "the iron wire is too soft to penetrate" - to use a sharpened steel wire to fight back against those who bullied her. Later, the mining accident took away Shen Ye's father, and cancer took away Ji Mian's mother. Two children who were repeatedly abandoned by fate lived in silence and band-aids in a drafty bungalow in a shanty town. He left hot water for her, and she hid chilblain cream for him. No one said thank you, and no one wanted to leave first. At the age of eighteen, he was admitted to a university in the south while she stayed in Lan Town. Nine years later, she found suspicious points in the mining accident files and called his phone—— "Your father's mining accident back then was probably not an accident." He resigned from the south and came back, not to see her, but to seek justice. During the six months of tracing the truth of the mining disaster, they fought side by side on the ruins of the mining area. Some people threaten, some follow, and some want to use money to silence them. He didn't retreat, and neither did she. When everything was settled, he took her to the top of Beishan Mountain and took out a key in the heavy snow: "Your name is written on the house. I said it was an insurance policy and tricked you into signing it. Do you want it?" "When you taught me how to puncture a tire when I was nine years old, I knew—this man was someone I could follow." Purpose: On the rough background of low-level survival, it is about how two people "left behind by the world" confirm the value of their own existence through each other. This is not a simple "redemption" story - it's not about who pulls whom out of the mire, but about two people in the same quagmire, using each other's eyes to confirm that they are still alive.
