Chapter 9: Glory

When that moment comes, all people can do is make small choices, but the changes brought about by those choices are often unbearable in life......

The fire was brought under control, two of the twelve people trapped were killed, and everyone was covered in black ash when the firefighters withdrew.

In this case, it is still customary to stand at the entrance of the alley and bow to the body.

The ambulance was waiting in the block, one after another the injured were being carried up, and the last one was Hou Guang, the severe pain had made him unconscious, and he watched his comrades being carried into the ambulance, until the siren sounded away, and a group of big men could no longer hide their grief, some covered their eyes, and some simply lay on the shoulders of the people next to them and wept silently.

Song Ju'an leaned against the tree and smoked, obviously it was not the first time he smoked, but every time he took a puff today, he would cough non-stop under the stimulation of nicotine, and his eyes would be red at the end.

When the cigarette burned out, he threw the cigarette butt on the ground, put out the spark as he left, and headed for the fire truck.

Zheng Zhi gave the order as usual: "Get in the car, go back to the camp to change your clothes, and then go to the hospital to see Hou Guang." ”

After speaking, they didn't even have time to wipe their tears, jumped on the high fire truck, and wanted to run to the hospital immediately.

After eating, it was lunch break, and Siwei made a small plan for himself to run at this time every day.

She grabbed a white towel and put it around her neck, and began to run slowly.

It's the first time I've been here, and she's alone in the whole playground.

From time to time, Si Wei looked at the runway next to him, his eyes all the way forward, imagining that the firefighters were still there.

On the fourth lap, she stopped to wipe her sweat, wiped it twice, heard movement at the door, turned her head, and sure enough, saw several red fire trucks driving into the garage.

Si Wei subconsciously followed, and stopped not far from the fire garage.

Seeing the team members running back to the dormitory quickly, she was puzzled, and saw Song Ju'an walking straight towards this side.

Like a child who has been caught, Siwei quickly straightened up and stood up.

Song Ju'an looked at her: "Why are you here?"

He wasn't angry, but his voice was tired.

Si Wei tried to confirm the emotion in his eyes, but he didn't see anything, so he could only explain honestly: "I saw you coming back, so I came over to take a look." How long has it been?"

You know, it's been four hours since the sortie.

Song Ju'an lowered his eyes, and the picture of Hou Guang being hit by the beam appeared in front of him, and he pressed his temples restrainedly, "It's just that there was a sudden accident, it's not serious." ”

His breath is very low and his condition is extremely poor.

“...... That's good. Siwei had a guess, but he didn't want to ask again.

"Hmm. In the afternoon, the instructor returned, and he took the training for the time being. Song Ju'an raised his head and his expression was as soft as possible: "It's easy to get heat stroke if you don't rest well in this weather, go back and sleep for a while." ”

"Oh, then I'm leaving. ”

Siwei turned to leave, somehow, every step was uncomfortable, she could be sure that something was wrong, not life-threatening but serious.

There is an inexplicable charm to the profession of firefighter, you may have never met that person, but your heart will be tied to their safety.

It was not appropriate for the hospital to pile too many people, so Song Ju'an and Zheng Zhi went on a trip on behalf of everyone.

After asking the doctor about the situation, they hesitated for a long time to open the door when they came to the door of the ward.

"You're here. ”

The two looked at the side of the bed together, and saw Hou Guang also smiling.

Zheng Zhi cleared his throat and approached to shake the bed up: "We thought you hadn't woken up yet." ”

"Hey, I can't sleep in a soft bed. Hou Guang grinned, "Captain, I did well today, right? Let me tell you, when I rushed in, I wasn't afraid at all. ”

Song Ju'an stood at the end of the bed with his back to him, his nose sour.

He nodded and pretended to be serious: "That's it, who is afraid of going into the fire when you come to be a firefighter?"

"Yes. Hou Guang scratched his head and put away his smile a little, "Actually, I ...... How's that old man doing?"

Zheng Zhi put his hand on his shoulder: "Thanks to you, if you come out late, it is likely that people will die." ”

"Then I will be relieved, I have been out of the police so many times, and it is the first time that I have such a sense of accomplishment, and it is enough for me to blow it with my relatives in my hometown, it is worth it!"

His tone was very brisk, but it was uncomfortably tight when it fell into the ears of others.

He is not depressed or noisy because of his disability, but faces everything with a cheerful attitude, and even takes the initiative to mention it with pride and joy.

Song Ju'an's eyes turned red in an instant, his chest rose and fell violently, he looked up at the white ceiling, his facial features were painfully entangled because of his long-term patience, and he turned around and shouted:

"Didn't you understand my orders, and when you found the trapped people, report them first, what about you? If you rush in without even fully grasping the situation, are you dead? Who told you to enter the fire without wearing a firefighting suit, do you have nine lives or are you fighting to be a martyr? I don't know if the old house will collapse at any time?"

"Bang bang bang!"

The door of the ward opened, and there was a little nurse, "Hello, please be quiet in the ward." ”

Jung Sik nodded in understanding.

The door was closed, and after a long while, Hou Guangcai shouted "Captain", his voice trembled:

"In that case, even if you come, won't you rush in like me?

"I'm more experienced than you!" Song Ju'an continued to explode.

Hou Guang lowered his head, "Yes...... I really don't have enough experience, if I can react quickly, I can train with everyone at this time......" He stretched out his hand to touch the vacancy, and the corner of his mouth pulled a smile: "I don't regret it, people have to be vigorous in this life, choosing a firefighter is to give your life to God, and it is a blessing to come out alive." ”

God gave his life to heaven, and Song Ju'an rushed out of the door in a hurry.

——

The news of Hou Guang's injury spread in the camp, and no one took it as an after-dinner topic, on the contrary, even the amateurs who had little contact with the squad leader were silently uncomfortable.

After dinner, Si Wei was called away by the instructor Luo Qingqiang.

In the four years that Si Wei went to college, Luo Qingqiang helped her a lot in life, and he is still unmarried, so he is more like a daughter to her.

in the office.

"Si Wei, I didn't expect you to participate in the show, I was guiding work in other districts a few days ago, and I was quite surprised to see you this afternoon. Luo Qingqiang poured a glass of water and handed it to her.

Si smiled slightly: "I want to experience it when I have the opportunity, after all, I can better show it in words when I feel profound." ”

Luo Qingqiang agreed, "At the beginning, your father and I were assigned here, and later he retired, but I know that he has his own considerations. Now that you have walked the road he has walked, don't say that the regret in my heart seems to be gone. ”

At the mention of his father, Swei's fingertips rubbed back and forth against the wall of the cup.

Luo Qingqiang was so keen, he quickly changed the topic: "Look at me, don't ask if you are still used to training in the camp?"

"I'm tired, but it's fun. ”

"Captain Song is very ruthless when he trains himself, let alone when he trains others. ”

Si Wei thought for a moment and asked, "How long has Captain Song been on the secret service?"

"I want to think about it...... He graduated from the military academy and was at most 22 years old at that time. ”

At the age of 22, it will be six or seven years.

——

When I walked out of the building, it was getting dark.

Si Wei ran to the playground, opened the door and saw someone inside, she stepped on the runway, that person happened to run a lap and ran here, as the distance got closer, she was sure that it was Song Ju'an.

No one spoke to anyone, Si Wei ran behind at snail speed, and Song Ju'an was completely venting, sweating wildly the whole time.

After the fifth lap, the whole body seemed to sink to the bottom of the water, and the hair was also wet.

Si Wei couldn't stand it at all, and fell directly to the ground panting, and finally relieved his breath, and found that the man was still running, and his physical strength was more terrible than that of a cow in the field.

Seeing that Song Ju'an ran two more laps, his anger was exhausted, and the people stopped.

Siwei went over and threw the towel to him, and Song Ju'an caught it and stared at her.

"I'm useless, it's still clean. She explained lightly.

Song Ju'an wiped it twice and looked at her again: "Go over there and sit?"

"Good. ”

Half a moment later, the two sat down against the iron gauze.

Si Wei glanced at the person next to him, he was closing his eyes, his dark brows were furrowed, and his face looked very bad.

Knowing that he was in a bad mood, Si Wei turned his head, paused and whispered, "Squad Leader Hou's injury...... How's it going?"

Song Ju'an slowly opened his eyes, "His right leg is disabled, and he can't do the work of a firefighter." ”

Siwei couldn't think of what to say, and the sourness on the tip of her nose made her subconsciously cross her hands and keep rubbing.

"I've been a firefighter for six years and was promoted to squadron leader last year. Song Ju'an looked at the sky, his eyes were gloomy, "I've seen bloodshed and sacrifice, but I don't want to see my soldiers' injuries and deaths, especially when I can go in for him, but in the end, I can't do anything but watch that scene happen......"

After listening quietly, Siwei didn't know how to comfort him for a while, and spoke for a long time: "Rabindranath Tagore once said that we can only get life if we give our lives. The squad leader was injured and left the team, or maybe fate had other arrangements for him, not only him, as long as any firefighter can return safely, it is a blessing, isn't it?"

Song Ju'an smiled very shallowly, lowered his head and supported his forehead with his hands, and was distracted.

——

The days of training passed very quickly in a trance, perhaps because the amount of each day had changed, and the days were not as difficult as they were at the beginning, and it was not until the fifth day that the hose exercise was arranged.

Song Ju'an's state was completely adjusted, and he looked majestic in a straddle posture: "Today's training content is two hoses for one person, regardless of time, and will be demonstrated by Instructor Zheng first." ”

After the adjustment of the water separator and the interface of the left and right hoses, Zheng Zhi raised his hand with his back to signal.

"Ready!"

Zheng Zhi bent down to look ahead, and with the order of "start", he moved forward with his left foot, grabbed an interface on the hose with his left hand, grabbed the interface under the hose on the right with his right hand, and lifted the hose and threw it forward.

At the same time, Song Ju'an explained in the rear: "The length of the water belt thrown out should be more than six meters, and the lateral offset should not exceed one meter, and the requirement is to be long and straight." ”

The left-hand hose is connected to the water separator, Zheng Zhi lifts the hose and rushes forward, connecting the left and right hose interfaces on the way.

After throwing the hose again, connect the water gun with the hose in the right hand, rush all the way to the terminal station, clamp it, pull the switch, the hose instantly bulges, and the water jets out.

The sluice gate closed, Zheng Zhi raised his fist to signal completion, and then unloaded the equipment.

Song Ju'an faced the queue of recruits: "The port must be clamped before the water comes out of the water at the end, otherwise the impact of the water pressure will throw any of you out, don't cry when the time comes." ”

"Yes!"

The equipment is ready, the first one is Xu Heyan, who is obviously in a hurry, the interface is not matched, and the left and right hands are almost indistinguishable.

Zheng Zhi couldn't stand it, and couldn't help but guide in the back: "Find the right interface, put left and right." ”

Xu Heyan followed his words, and then threw the hose after receiving it, but only threw three or four meters, although it was not comparable to the professional, fortunately it was completed.

She trotted back to the team with her arm in her hand, and threw a wink at Zheng Zhi when she passed by him.

Although the camera was not taken, Zheng Zhi was still uncomfortable......

This girl has teased him twice!

It's Si Wei's turn, with the experience of her predecessors, it is slow to come to her, but the movements are coherent and smooth, and she may feel that she is not bad, even when she runs to the finish line, the bangs on her forehead are flying.

She stood still and immediately clamped the port, boiling the water, and after 2 seconds she noticed that the hose that her elbow was pressing against was filled with water.

"Whew"!

Water erupted from the port, and before the cranial nerves could catch up with the excitement, the right side of the waist and abdomen was pushed away in the opposite direction, and the feet continued to move.

No matter how hard Si Wei used her strength to hold down the water gun, the whole person was like being in an earthquake-prone house, and her body couldn't hold on, and even forced her to turn back and shoot at the back.

After being impacted, the body has a tendency to rotate, Si Wei tried to turn off the water, but he couldn't do anything at all, there was really nothing to do!

Just when she closed her eyes and thought that she had to "die together", the runaway water gun in her hand suddenly stopped, and the powerful water spray was still in her ears, but her thoughts were blank for a moment.

Si Wei opened his eyes, and what caught his eyes were the man's wide and somewhat rough hands, which were now attached to her cross.
