Chapter 176: The First Priority for Ordinary People
After being stabbed, Wen Xun was left alone in this dimly lit warehouse.
She couldn't hear anything other than the occasional sound of her own blood dripping on the ground.
The warehouse was very well sealed, except for the window a few meters away that was slightly open and let in a little light, the room was as dark as if it were dark.
The wound on his thigh was deep, and empathy and blood loss kept Wen Xun in a semi-comatose state. But she knew that she couldn't sleep, and if she lost consciousness at this time, she would be a complete lamb to the slaughter.
- Although, even when awake, it seems to be no different.
She couldn't remember the last time she felt this level of pain, probably not. But the part that made her feel the most uncomfortable was not the pain, but the feeling of being able to clearly feel the blood draining from her body.
Homesick.
Very flustered.
She closed her eyes slightly, trying to calm herself. But it's really hard to stay calm when you're injured, she's not a trained soldier, she's just an ordinary person. Feeling the threat of death, she was just helpless and scared.
If you can't calm down, you can only divert your attention.
Wen Xun began to try to think of some beautiful things, such as the warm scene of teasing each other when she had dinner with her parents, such as the rainy day when she ran away from home when she was a child and Jiang Xiangyang went to look for her, such as the high school flag-raising ceremony, she took over a corner of the national flag from Jiang Xiangyang's hands, such as the day she received the admission notice of University B and later received the offer from Duncheng University......
After counting it carefully, Wen Xun suddenly realized that he was really a very, very lucky person.
It is true that she also works hard, but there is never a shortage of hard-working people in this world, and people who always work hard and are lucky and have some talent to get what they want.
She really is one of those people.
But because of this, can she feel "satisfied", because of those can feel "even if I die now, I have no regrets"?
No, not at all, she doesn't want to die at all, she doesn't feel like she has no regrets at all, she still has too many things to do.
Even if you die, stay by your parents' side before you die.
Even if you die, you have to see Jiang Xiangyang one last time.
How can you die in such a hellish place so inexplicably?!
Thinking of this, Wen Xun seemed to have given herself a shot of strength, and she opened her eyes again, which was already about to pass out. She looked at the little light from the window, and guessed the time by the direction of the room and the angle of the sun, and so it was.
Finally, the door of the warehouse was pushed open, and Li Qiang hurriedly walked in. His hands trembled, but he didn't stop for a moment to untie Wen Xun.
He said, "Wen Xun, can you walk now? If you can, run in the direction we came, the police are coming, and you will be saved." If you can't, hide here, and I told the police that there's a hostage here, and they'll come to your rescue. ”
Wen Xun, who had lost the rope on her legs, knelt on the ground as soon as her legs became weak, and she nodded vigorously to indicate that she heard it.
He added, "Don't forget what you promised me! I saved you, and you must testify for me!"
Wen Xun nodded vigorously again. She didn't have the strength to complain in her heart now—"You're the one who kidnapped me."
The rope in Wen Xun's hand had not yet been untied, and Li Qiang couldn't untie the dead knot he tied himself after trying several times, so he simply picked up the saber and wanted to separate the rope. At that moment, the door to the warehouse was kicked open, and the people who came in shouted, "Don't move!
The sun shone on Wen Xun's face in this moment.
She felt that she might have never admired the police so much.
But this sense of worship didn't last long, and in the next second, those policemen looked at the blood all over the ground and obviously misunderstood Li Qiang who was holding a saber in his hand, and the people led by him scolded Li Qiang and asked him to let go of the hostages, Li Qiang was a little flustered, forgetting that the first step should be to lay down his weapons, but hurriedly defended himself.
The police saw him and thought he was dangerous, and without saying a word, they shot him.
His blood splattered on Wen Xun's face, causing her world to turn bright red in an instant, and she immediately fell into darkness again.
She watched as the man who had come to untie her rope was struck to death by the embodiment of justice in her mind.
The dizziness caused by the previous blood loss surged up again at this moment, and Wen Xun felt that the world was spinning, and he could no longer support it, and fainted on the ground.
Wen Xun was already in the hospital when he woke up again. The smell of disinfectant filled the nasal cavity, and the thigh seemed to have been stitched with anesthetic, and at this time the strength of the medicine had not passed, so it didn't hurt, but there was no sensation.
She struggled to sit up.
The room was empty except for her.
She rang the bedside bell, and the nurse soon arrived, patiently answering her many questions—such as nine o'clock in the evening in Duncheng, and it was only a few hours before she fell unconscious. For example, the police sent her here, and with her was the person who kidnapped her.
Wen Xun knew that the person she was talking about was Li Qiang, and at the risk of being considered Stockholm, she still asked, "Then how is he now?"
"Rescue didn't work, and he died. ”
Wen Xun felt dizzy again. Somehow, she remembered the scene when Jiang Xiangyang said to her, "You are not the savior", when she was going to take care of Xu Huairou's affairs, she seemed to suddenly understand the meaning of those words.
It's not that she's useless, it's not that she's being a hero, it's telling her to do what she can.
If ordinary people like "Li Qiang" and her insist on doing something dangerous and great, the consequences will be terrifying.
Unlike the police in the country, the police in Don can indeed shoot and kill those they think are dangerous after their own judgment. "Li Qiang", a person who wanted to do great things for his faith, was shot dead by the police who represented justice.
"Well, that's right. The nurse was still standing there at this time, and said to her, "There are quite a few reporters out there who want to interview you, if you feel better, you can tell me, and I will let them in." ”
"Then let them in. ”
In fact, Wen Xun subjectively didn't want them to come. After both physical and mental torture, she only feels tired now and wants to continue sleeping. But she knew she had something to do.
She can't help Li Qiang explain his behavior to the police, but she can at least tell reporters what he said, and at least let his relatives and friends know that he just died because of a hero failure, and not really did something kidnapping. He just died for his faith fanatically and blindly, not in the same cult as those pure thugs.
He's not a savior, he's a foolish ordinary person.
Wen Xun began to feel frightened about his request for a hostage exchange.
What if she wasn't so lucky? What if she really died like this? What would her parents think, what would Jiang Xiangyang do?
The heroism that had been hanging over her for many years seemed to dissipate after this catastrophe, and she began to understand why as an ordinary person should act wisely rather than bravely, and understood what to look for as the first priority.
It's life, it's not anyone's life, it's your own.
It may sound cheesy and boring, but it's just the way it is. Only by being alive can we have the opportunity to tell the truth, and only by being alive can we embrace our loved ones again.
Don't be a savior.
Be an ordinary person who tries to protect others as much as possible on the premise of protecting yourself.
