The memorial service officially began.

Instructor Luo Qingqiang took the document issued by the government and read out the posthumous evaluation of Zheng Zhi's martyrs in a straight manner.

Lighting hope with heroism and defending life with life – this is the eulogy given to him.

The firefighters stood straight and straight, their expressions solemn and solemn, and the emotions in their eyes became heavier with each word.

After finishing speaking, Luo Qingqiang closed the document, leaned hard under his feet, and the words were sonorous: "Salute the martyrs!"

Suddenly, the audience unanimously raised their hands, and their arms straightened with a standard military salute.

The coffin was slowly closed from bottom to top, and the two elders covered their mouths and wept bitterly.

Halfway through, Zheng's mother couldn't stand it anymore and buried her head in front of her wife crying.

The team members looked at one place in amazement, tears rolling in their eyes.

Song Ju'an's jawline was tight, his face was full of silence, and his eyes seemed to fall on the coffin, but he seemed to be looking at an unknown place.

Thinking back to two days ago-

"When the floor shook, the captain's first reaction was to call us to run, we were on the second floor, it was not high, he had a chance to escape. ”

"The situation is critical, the ceiling suddenly fell down, he rushed over to protect us, I was stunned, when I woke up, how did Xiaobei and I call him, the captain he didn't react anymore......"

At that moment, did he still have a trace of consciousness thinking about things that had not yet been completed?

Family, lovers...... Brothers!

And these things, after all, no one knows.

Until the lid of the coffin is completely closed, everyone hangs their hands, takes off their hats and buckles them on their hands, and mourns in silence.

……

This is the end of the farewell ceremony, and Zheng Zhi's body will be sent to his hometown, Anxian County.

The hearse departed from the city and passed outside the special service camp on the way, clearing the streets along the way, leaving the police car ahead and sirens ringing in the ears.

Everywhere they went, people stood on both sides of the road to see off the martyrs for the last time.

In the crowd, Xu Heyan chased the hearse with straight eyes, and his portrait hung on the front of the car, which was recognizable at a glance.

There are many people around her who are sobbing and wiping their tears, but these days, she seems to have already shed her tears.

No matter how painful she is, she will shed a few tears at most, and the rest, no matter how uncomfortable it is, is just heartache.

At the same time, Siwei was sitting in the studio, silently getting up and going to the window when he heard the sound of a police car.

There are thousands of people like Jung Sik who have lost their lives to protect others.

It may be nameless, it may be forgotten in the near future, but it will always be engraved in the stone monument - that monument is cast in spirit and immortal!

By the time the siren sounded into the barracks, all the firefighters had already returned to the team, standing straight in the playground, looking out of the low wall.

The wind was blowing, and the military flag behind him was waving in the wind.

Trainer Xiao Meng took the search and rescue dog Beibei and stood on the side of the team.

Bei Bei didn't wear a leash, but sat there obediently.

For a while, the sound of the siren became clearer and faded away.

Song Ju'an raised his hand slowly and vigorously and saluted the standard military salute.

In the face of the sacrificed comrades-in-arms, except for the posture of a soldier, any other behavior seems to be insufficient to express the inner mourning and nostalgia.

As comrades-in-arms and brothers, we can only bid farewell to the loveliest people on the last journey with a solemn posture.

The crowd saluted again.

Babe wagged her tail and whispered, and after a few seconds, as if sensing that it was goodbye, she screamed, one more intense.

When Xiao Meng lowered his head, Bei Bei suddenly rushed to the gate, there was a telescopic door blocking it, and it couldn't get out.

So it stopped inside the door, barking with its neck outstretched, tears in its eyes.

In the end, the hearse drove away.

This search and rescue dog kept watch for a long time.

Until he couldn't hear anything in his ears, Song Ju'an grabbed his hat, looked indifferent, turned his head and said to everyone: "Resume training in the afternoon, and Da Jiang will temporarily act as deputy squadron leader." ”

With that, he walked to the dormitory building.

in the dormitory.

Song Ju'an sat at the writing desk, flipping through the pages of the report card, this work has always been done by Zheng Zhi.

Now that people are gone, these are the only ones left.

On the last page, there are two signatures.

Song Ju'an didn't dare to look at it for too long, wiped his face with both hands, and supported his forehead.

The brother is gone, but he will go with his share, no matter how far the road can go.

The following week, it was as if it was back in time.

The special service team trained day after day, but the alarm bell unexpectedly never rang again.

On Saturday, Song Ju'an went to visit the team members of the hospital, who had two surgeries that were completed the day before yesterday and are currently in stable condition.

There are also two people who were rescued by Zheng Zhi and are undergoing psychological rehabilitation training.

Finally, it's Zheng Yan.

He suffered leg injuries, but not the root cause.

According to the doctor, for 10 days, he barely spoke, sometimes going out to ventilate and sitting all morning.

Song Ju'an knocked on the door and went in and put down the fruit basket.

Zheng Yan didn't have any look in his eyes, but when he saw him, he still tried to laugh.

"Captain. ”

Song Ju'an peeled an orange for him: "How do you feel recovered?"

"It's good, it's just that I haven't trained for so many days, and my physical strength is estimated to have dropped again. He smiled.

In the smile, there is no previous cheerful and sincere.

Song Ju'an lowered his head and began to peel again, without saying a word.

After receiving the second orange, Zheng Yan said, "Captain, don't peel it, it's weird and sour." ”

Song Ju'an raised his head, his face solemn.

Zheng Yan deliberately joked: "Captain, haven't you shaved for a few days, look at your chin, Sister Weiwei has seen it, and she will have to hide away from you." ”

"Yesterday the instructor and I discussed something. Song Ju'an suddenly spoke.

I saw Zheng Yan's smile disappear little by little, and he tentatively said, "It has something to do with me?"

"The brigade comes down with documents, and you have to leave the team after you are discharged from the hospital. ”

"Why?"

Song Ju'an put his back molars on his head and organized the language: "After Zheng Zhi's sacrifice, you are the only son in the family, no matter what, you shouldn't take any more risks." ”

"But many of the brothers in the team are only children, why can't I do it?" he asked like a child.

Song Ju'an didn't scold him, and said calmly: "Your family is different from theirs. ”

The elderly parents will be unbearable to bear that one day their only son will leave this world.

Hearing this, Zheng Yan slowly settled down, his shoulders were on his shoulders, and his eyes were gloomy.

He said: "I am not afraid of sacrifice, only by continuing to do firefighting, I seem to be able to feel that my brother is still there." ”

He wanted to carry on his legacy, regardless of the way back.

Song Ju'an left the chair and patted him on the shoulder: "It will be better in the future." ”

Good people will be rewarded.

Walking out of the hospital, Song Ju'an looked up at the sky, the sun was dazzling, and summer was here again.

——

Si Wei closed the computer, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and calmed down.

It has been a year since I came up with the idea of creating a firefighting theme.

During this period, I also experienced a lot, such as witnessing the glory of this profession and getting to know those who are fearless and dedicated.

Every time I put pen to paper, my heart is stirred.

After a few minutes, Si Wei went to the living room to pour water, looked back at the master bedroom, and thought that he hadn't seen Xu Heyan for a week.

The series of changes brought about by that incident are all too subtle.

Swaye felt as if she was back to the days when she was alone, and that everything except when she was immersed in the plot was a mechanical life.

In the past, she would take the initiative to contact Song Ju'an, but now, she didn't dare to take a step easily.

Ten days of disconnection, as if they had not been involved.

……

In the evening, Siwei went for a run in the park, and when he returned, he dragged his sore legs and feet out of the elevator.

As she pulled the key out of her pocket and turned it in the keyhole, the sound of small footsteps drew her head to look.

The voice-activated light illuminated half of the side, and she stood in the light and squinted, and in her field of vision, only the dark silhouette of the figure could be faintly seen.

The man stopped around the corner, the junction of light and darkness.

Si Wei watched intently for a few seconds, his breathing tight, and his heart flickered up and down inexplicably.

She breathed a sigh of relief and confirmed in a loud voice: "Song Ju'an?"

In the dimness, any movement of a person is often more noticeable, and at that moment, the other person's hand hanging on the side of his leg contracted suddenly.

A second, a second or two, the lights on this side dimmed.

Si Wei didn't hesitate any longer, took a step in the dark, and then walked faster with each step.

In the blink of an eye, he stood still in front of the man.

She was the first to speak, her voice without the slightest warmth: "Why don't you answer?

She had been able to determine that it was him.

After asking, she took a short breath and exhaled again, her eyes covered with water.

Song Ju'an's hand shook uncontrollably, paused for a few seconds, and then lifted it to attach to her cheek.

"I'm sorry. ”

These three words, in the past, he only said to the families of the deceased.

Si Wei gritted his teeth and held back tears, and slapped his hand away, "Didn't I say it, I will be on your side, no matter what, why do you want to run away from me?"

The voice-activated lights are on, and there is no dim obscuration, as if they are honest.

At this moment, whether it was sadness or anger in her eyes, it was all in her eyes.

Song Ju settled down and said, "Not in the future." ”

Si Wei sniffed and stared at him with certainty, tears in his eyes but persistent, pitiful.

"Here, hug. He opened his arms.

Swei stood, not moving.

Seeing this, Song Ju'an took the initiative to take the person into his arms, rested his chin on her shoulder, and whispered: "We must be good." ”

Those who are alive must strive to move forward.

Hearing this, Si Wei inhaled gently, and for a moment, his hands fell on his back, and he closed his eyes to feel the warmth he had not felt for a long time.

Perhaps, my worries these days are superfluous.

Song Ju'an, the man she recognized, was not beaten down.

That night, Song Ju'an stayed.

After dinner, the two sat on a sofa, and a popular variety show was playing on the TV.

In the living room, there was only the screams of variety shows for a long time.

Si Wei glanced at it and found that Song Ju'an was fascinated.

In this issue, several celebrities went to the fire base to experience a day of training.

The picture has been deliberately edited, and the thrilling effect is there, and at the same time there is something else.

"It's not interesting, let's turn the table. Song Ju'an said suddenly.

Si Wei was stunned and reacted quickly, but he didn't pick up the remote control, but asked: "You are not in the team, if you receive the police at night, will there be any problems?"

Song Ju'an turned to her and said lightly: "I gave an order in advance, if the fire alarm goes off, Da Jiang will notify me, and it is all a matter in the jurisdiction, and it won't take long to pass from here." ”

Si Wei was a little relieved, but he still stared at him for a while, and gradually a sense of anxiety rose.

"What's wrong?" Song Ju'an smiled and asked.

Seeing his expression, Si Wei lowered her eyebrows and said truthfully, "Are you really okay?" She tightened her fingers and paused: "Zheng Zhi's matter is not so easy to let go." ”

She was almost sure of this realization.

After saying this, Si Wei didn't dare to look up at Song Ju'an, but he could also feel the aura around him sink.

Such a topic should not be talked about, but it should not be blindly avoided, it should always be faced.

Quiet living room, pin drop can be heard.

For a long time, she pursed her lips, and was about to open her mouth to break the deadlock of silence when she heard his response.

"There's nothing that doesn't hold up. Song Ju'an took one of her hands and rubbed the back of her hand with the tip of his thumb.

Si Wei raised his eyes, "But..."

"No, but. Song Ju'an interrupted calmly, his words firm.

"Have you forgotten, we have all received professional psychological anti-stress training, teammates sacrifice such a thing, all we can do is to keep him in our hearts for a long time, because reality simply does not allow us to immerse ourselves in grief for a long time, once the alarm bell rings, we will still rush into the scene as soon as possible. ”

"Don't you believe me?" he raised an eyebrow, a little aggressive in his attitude.

Swaye looked at him, catching the determination in his eyes, as if it were just as he had said.

She was silent for a few seconds, and when she spoke again, her voice was hoarse: "Believe." ”

Two short words, somehow, the tip of the nose is faintly sour.
