The rescue process was very difficult, but for some reason, Wang Aiguo did not feel tired at all.

It seemed that every time he came to the trapped crowd and saw the other party's reassuring gaze, his fatigue would be swept away.

"Don't worry, we're here." This simple sentence seems to be the last pillar in the hearts of the people.

A few hours later, Wang Aiguo suddenly noticed that his shoes seemed to have been scratched.

This is the case with flash floods, where there is a lot of rubble in the mud, and there are even sharp objects such as glass slag floating out of some cities.

After the shoes were torn, Wang Aiguo simply began to go into battle barefoot, but after a while, he had the same experience as the squadron leader just now.

Soon in the evening, Wang Aiguo and the others were still blocked on the road, but fortunately, the brothers of the armed police sent them two military tents, and finally gave them a place to rest.

In the evening, Wang Aiguo ate two steamed buns and drank a bottle of mineral water, and then sat in the tent to pull out the gravel and glass in the soles of his feet.

Here I want to say that many people in the society are very puzzled why the People's Liberation Army eats steamed buns and cold water when fighting floods.

Wang Aiguo didn't understand the truth before, and he didn't know until today that cold water and steamed buns could restore physical strength the fastest. As for the principle, he can't say, anyway, compared to eating instant noodles or eating, steamed buns are more resistant to hunger.

Wang Fatzi is also very busy at the moment, holding a medicine box to help everyone bandage everywhere.

Soon he came to Wang Aiguo, looking at Wang Aiguo's fleshy feet, Wang Fat couldn't help but smile bitterly: "How is it?" It's not easy to be a soldier, right? If this is at home, your parents will definitely be distressed to death when they see it, right? ”

Wang Aiguo looked at Wang Fatzi and smiled: "If you don't feel sorry, then I will pick it up, but if you don't come here, how can you receive so many thanks?" That sincere thank you made me feel that I hadn't been here in vain. ”

"That's right, sure enough, men are going to be soldiers. Only by becoming a soldier can you become a real man. Dadong patted Wang Aiguo's shoulder and said proudly.

Dadong is not much better than Wang Aiguo, his feet are full of wounds, and the whole thing is already white.

Wang Fatzi looked at the two of them and said, "Okay, don't pretend to be a tough guy, hurry up and disinfect the medicine." In addition, I heard from the captain that a batch of rain boots has been temporarily allocated from above, and it is estimated that they will arrive tomorrow morning. Tomorrow I will wear rain boots to save people, otherwise the wound will be infected with bacteria, and if I don't get it right, I will have to amputate my leg. ”

Wang Fatzi said while giving Wang Aiguo medicine to his feet, but as soon as the alcohol went up, Wang Aiguo, who was in pain, immediately bared his teeth and grinned.

By the time I finished taking the medicine, it was already ten o'clock in the evening. After relaxing at this moment, Wang Aiguo also felt extremely sleepy, so he decided to go out of the tent and go to the toilet to sleep.

However, as soon as he got out of the tent, Wang Aiguo saw the captain sitting on a stone and looking ahead.

Wang Aiguo was stunned for a moment, limped to the captain's side and said, "Captain, what are you doing?" ”

"I didn't do anything, I just remembered my squad leader." The captain smiled.

"Your squad leader? If you can be your class president, you're almost fifty this year, right? Wang Aiguo folded his fingers and calculated, and found that it seemed to be the case.

However, the captain shook his head and said, "No, my squad leader is only 0 years old." ”

"What's that?" Wang Aiguo was stunned and looked at the captain in surprise.

The captain pointed ahead and said lightly: "Right there, my squad leader will stop at thirty years old forever, and he will never get old again." ”

looked at the captain's fingers, and Wang Aiguo saw a flowing stream of water. At this moment, Wang Aiguo understood the meaning of the captain, and it turned out to ......

"My squad leader is a very annoying person, because he has to take care of everything, and as long as you do something bad, he will talk about you. So when I first came, I was very annoying to him, how can anyone take care of everything? ”

The captain seemed to be reminiscing, and it was like a person talking to himself. Wang Aiguo looked at the captain, and finally slowly sat down beside the captain.

"When I first arrived, I thought my class leader was super annoying. This man seems to have obsessive-compulsive hygiene and he demands that my clothes be clean every day. At night, the shoes should be arranged very neatly, and even the quilt must be folded squarely. ”

"It was hard for me to understand at first, but after two years with him, I got used to it. Then I asked him why he was so serious. At that time, my squad leader smiled and said to me, because we are soldiers, we must be strict with ourselves all the time in order to become a good soldier. ”

"To be honest, I really couldn't understand it at the time. Until now, I myself am an old non-commissioned officer, and I have not even understood this truth until I have been prey to him for a long time. Many people in society say that folding quilts in the army is like putting on a show, and this kind of thing has nothing to do with improving combat effectiveness. However, I know that we have quilts in our hands, but we have meticulous hearts in our hearts. Only by developing the habit of meticulousness will you be able to find out if you are flawed in your work, and only when you must find out that you will not make mistakes in your tasks. ”

Wang Aiguo didn't speak, just listened quietly. There are some things that you can understand, but it's hard to do all at once, and it takes some time to do it.

The captain paused and said, "My squad leader is such a person who is strict with others, and even more strict with himself. Later, there was a flash flood in the city in March, and my squad leader took me to fight the flood and rescue me. In the rescue, he showed the perseverance of a soldier, not afraid of hardship, not afraid of tiredness, and he rushed to complete all tasks. I still remember that day he rescued more than 20 trapped people, and finally when he went to save a person whose foot was stuck in a building, the mudslide on the mountain suddenly poured down. ”

He could have escaped, but instead of escaping, he chose to continue the rescue. The torrent was so fast that it drowned him in the blink of an eye. However, just before this submerged, he rescued the trapped crowd. And took off his life jacket and put it on the body of the trapped crowd. ”

As he spoke, the captain's eyes began to flicker with some essence. Wang Aiguo didn't speak, just listened quietly, listening to an ordinary but great heroic story.

"It took us a week to find his body, and when we found it, his body had been smashed beyond recognition. However, even so, he still maintained a hugging posture, as if at the last moment, he still wanted to protect the people with his body. ”

Speaking of this, the captain suddenly turned his head, looked at Wang Aiguo and said, "If it's you, how will you choose?" Do you want to be a hero for a minute, or an ordinary person for a lifetime? ”

Looking at the captain, Wang Aiguo was stunned for a moment. This question has been around for a long time, and it's not the first time he's heard it. But now that he was really asked, he realized that this question was not as easy to answer as he imagined.
