Chapter 32: Sacrificing Yourself to Save Others
Rushing to the burning adobe house, Shi Jin didn't say a word, he directly took off the camouflage uniform on his body, and threw a fierce pounce towards the fire.
Su Qiyue did the same, and also waved a camouflage uniform and pounced.
When the middle-aged woman saw that it was a soldier coming, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on her face that was originally frightened.
"Comrades in the troops, thank you, thank you so much!"
She took the broom and said incoherently, not knowing how to help.
"Auntie, where is the water?"
Shi Jin turned around and asked with an anxious face.
Although the fire is not spreading so fast now, it still has not been extinguished, and water must be used to douse it.
"Ah, over there...... There's a well over there! ”
The aunt was stunned, then reacted and pointed to a water well more than ten meters away.
I heard that there was water, and Shi Jin's spirit was lifted.
He tried hard to slap the rising flames a few times, and explained to Su Qiyue: "July, I'll go fetch water, and you can hold on any longer." ”
"Yes, platoon commander!"
Su Qiyue responded, and the movements of his hands did not stop at all.
Suddenly, there was a collapse above the adobe house, and a large chunk of earth fell from the hole with a loud bang.
When the aunt saw this scene, her eyes suddenly froze.
She seemed to suddenly think of something, and muttered, "The tuition fees saved for the two babies are still in the house." No, I've got to get it out of ......."
As she spoke, the aunt seemed to have forgotten her fears, dropped her broom and rushed into the smoke-filled room.
Seeing this scene, Su Qiyue suddenly became anxious.
He hurriedly shouted: "Auntie, it's dangerous inside, you can't go in!" ”
The aunt didn't seem to hear his words, but her steps were a little faster.
Seeing this situation, Su Qiyue didn't have time to think about it, and immediately rushed in.
As soon as he entered the house, he was choked by the oncoming smoke.
After waving his camouflage uniform a few times, Su Qiyue opened his eyes and found the figure of the middle-aged woman in the corner.
"Drawer...... Why can't the drawer be opened! ”
In the room, the middle-aged woman tugged at the drawer despite the flames burning next to her.
"Auntie, danger, come out quickly!"
After discovering her location, Su Qiyue shouted loudly and rushed towards her.
"It's open!"
The middle-aged woman tried her best to finally open the drawer.
Then she grabbed it hard and clutched a cloth bag tightly in her hand.
After the cloth bag was in her hand, the middle-aged woman reflected the situation of her position.
Looking at the flames rising around her, she didn't know what to do for a moment.
Just as she hesitated, the beams of the roof suddenly fell.
The middle-aged woman raised her head, and a hint of despair flashed in her pupils.
With her reaction speed, it was impossible to dodge this blow.
Seeing that the middle-aged woman was about to be hit by the beam, suddenly a figure rushed out from behind her side and knocked her out.
Almost at the same time, a muffled "boom" sounded behind him.
The middle-aged woman who fell to the ground reacted from her panic.
When I looked up, I saw the young man who had been knocked to the ground by the beam.
It turned out that just at the last moment, Su Qiyue used his amazing reaction speed to knock the middle-aged woman away and get out of danger.
And he himself was hit on the shoulder by the beam of the house and fell to the ground.
"Su July!"
Shi Jin, who had just come back with two buckets outside the house, happened to see this scene.
After seeing Su Qiyue fall to the ground, the gentle Shi platoon leader let out a hysterical roar.
Without saying a word, he threw down the basin in his hand and rushed in.
The aunt also let out a heart-rending shout: "Come on, help!" ”
……
702 Regiment Hospital.
In ward 404 on the fourth floor, instructor He Hongtao was talking to Su Qiyue with a little worry.
"July, you've only been off for three days, are you really okay?"
Listening to He Hongtao's words of concern, Su Qiyue was stunned, raised his arm and gestured and said, "It's okay, instructor, it's just a little skin injury, it's all fine." ”
At the firefighting scene that day, after seeing Su Qiyue being crushed by the collapsed house, Shi Jin rushed in and dragged people out as soon as possible.
Subsequently, with the help of the soldiers who came after him, the fire was finally extinguished.
The injured Su Qiyue was also quickly sent to the hospital for treatment.
His luck was not bad, when the beam hit him, the other end was touched by the cabinet in the house, and he unloaded a lot of force.
The final examination results showed that he only had some contusions on his shoulder blades, and that he had broken skin and bleeding in several places on his neck and shoulders.
Although hospitalization is certain, such a result is already a great blessing in misfortune.
"Don't be reckless!"
He Hongtao glanced at Su Qiyue deeply and comforted, "I know that you are still thinking about the recruit competition in the division. But you have made a meritorious contribution to fighting the fire this time, even if you don't participate in this recruit competition, it is a sure thing to get a commendation, so why ......"
He Hongtao was halfway through his words and did not continue.
In his opinion, Su Qiyue, who is a high-achieving student, is a smart person, and of course he understands what he means.
"Instructor, firefighting is firefighting, competition is competition! I must participate in this recruit competition! ”
Su Qiyue said, "Besides, the main credit for this firefighting is Platoon Commander Shi, and it should be given to him if he wants to be rewarded." I just listened to him and took a hand. ”
His eyes fell on his tightly wrapped shoulders, and Su Qiyue laughed at himself and said, "It's just a handle, and it's like this bear-like ......."
He Hongtao didn't expect Su Qiyue to answer himself like this, and he was a little stunned at the moment.
Taking a deep breath and sweeping his gaze over the other party's face, the instructor of the Red Third Company continued to ask: "July, what you said is the truth?" You know, I'm going to reflect that truthfully. ”
Su Qiyue nodded without any hesitation, and said with great certainty: "Instructor, I am responsible for what I say!" ”
He Hongtao nodded lightly and responded: "Okay, who is this reward, let's talk about it later." I can understand how you want to be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible. But today it definitely won't work! ”
Hearing this, Su Qiyue's face showed a trace of bitterness.
In fact, with his ability to recover beyond ordinary people, after three days of rest, the contusion on the shoulder blade was almost healed.
The recruit training competition in the division is about to start, and Su Qiyue doesn't want to continue to delay in the hospital any longer, so he has to hurry up and plunge into training.
"Alright, that's it. I'll go back and discuss the specific time with Company Commander Gao, probably the day after tomorrow, and send a car to pick you up. ”
After saying this, He Hongtao patted Su Qiyue on the shoulder, and the appreciation in his eyes was not concealed at all.
