Chapter Forty-Eight: Love Is Silent

Inscription: Thousands of miles of warblers cry green and red, and the water village Jiangguo wine flag wind

At night, black clouds overwhelmed the city, lightning and thunder.

Ying Yuanjun, deputy director of the Jinghe Street Police Station, and two police officers were on duty at the Yangsigang Yangtze River Bridge. Six or seven strong winds blew from the wide river, the dark river set off huge waves, and the wind on the bridge deck was stronger and more violent.

Ying Yuanjun and his colleagues stuck to the bridge. His protective suit was soaked with rain and snow, and the temperature plummeted, and he felt very cold.

From the first day of the Lunar New Year to the present, he has been on duty on the front line for more than 30 days. Two colleagues in his post have died in the line of duty and have fallen on the front line of epidemic prevention and control. His current mood is complicated, he misses and regrets the two police officers who died in the line of duty, they are his best buddies, about the same age, they are drinking friends, travelers, card friends in their spare time, and they are colleagues who are like brothers! However, one collapsed in the ICU ward of Fumin Hospital, Ying Yuanjun rushed to the hospital after learning about it, but the bodies of his comrades-in-arms had gone into the morgue, the reality was so cold, the virus was so ruthless, there was no farewell, and he couldn't see the last face! Another of his colleagues, only in his early forties, collapsed at the bayonet of the Beijing-Guangzhou-Macao Expressway overpass after 35 days of continuous duty. Ying Yuanjun heard the news, hugged the colleague who died in the line of duty, knelt on the ground and cried, "Brother, I said that when the epidemic is over, we will have a drink!" I have always cherished that unfinished bottle of wine! He picked up his colleague, placed him in his car, and drove him to the funeral home.

Ying Yuanjun looked at the lights of Jiangcheng and the flickering neon in the wind and rain, and his heart was empty! I lost two comrades-in-arms and colleagues, but it was the sky of two families that collapsed! He thought: We police officers are the backbone of the republic, the patron saint of the people, a noble and sacred profession, and a glorious messenger of the times. However, how many people really understand the confusion of our people's police? Especially those people in society who hate the police, how much they know about us! When there is a disaster in society and people, we must be the first to rush forward. When people and countries are in danger, we must be the first to stand up. Anytime there is a dangerous situation or epidemic, we are desperate to go against the grain and appear on the front lines. What are we for? We are not for fame and fortune, not for money, not for status, we are fulfilling the historical mission of the people's police and the responsibility of the times.

Ying Yuanjun continued to think, dear friends, the two colleagues I lost, as well as the nearly 200 policemen in the city, the province, and the whole country who died in this epidemic, they are also people! They are father or mother, son or daughter, brother or sister. Some of them are also paying off their mortgages and car loans with low salaries, some are also worried about their children's schooling, and some of them are also suffering from illness and persevering with illness......

Thinking of this, Ying Yuanjun couldn't help but burst into tears. He has also been feeling seriously unwell recently, with high blood pressure, diabetes and severe insomnia tormenting his thin body! However, he has been on the front line, and his wife asked him to take a few days off to rest, and he was angry about it.

His wife said, "Look at your face, it is swollen and like bread, and it is so ugly, not white, not gray, but dark blue, and it makes people feel distressed and frightened." ”

The woman stopped Ying Yuanjun inside the house and prevented him from going out.

Ying Yuanjun said: "After the epidemic is over, I will have a good rest, I need people now, and I am needed on the front line." ”

The wife said anxiously: "Don't tell me the truth, the truth can't be eaten!" What should I do if my child has no father? I don't have a husband, who will help me and who will love me? What should I do if my parents don't have a son or son-in-law? The woman burst into tears.

Ying Yuanjun looked at his wife affectionately and stopped talking. Yes, in the face of the epidemic, any beautiful words and big truths seem to be pale and powerless! He stroked his wife's shoulder and remained silent.

Although the wife complained about this, she was well aware of the righteousness. She supported her husband in her heart, she brought her husband a mask and a raincoat, and watched Ying Yuanjun walk out of the stairs.

The nights are deeper, the winds are stronger, the rain is fiercer, and the days are colder. Ying Yuanjun and two colleagues were guarding the bridge.

Ying Yuanjun said: "My stomach is growling, is there anything to eat?" ”

A colleague said, "There are still a few packs of instant noodles in the car, but there is no boiling water, so let's swallow them!" ”

Another colleague said: "I went to Qiaotou to see if I could get a supper and fill my stomach, there were still more than ten hours before dawn, and I was hungry." ”

Ying Yuanjun said: "Where to buy food now?" The store is not open, and there are no people. Only dry nibbling instant noodles. ”

However, the dried instant noodles were really hard to swallow, and with each swallow, Ying Yuanjun's neck was uncomfortable, and he tried his best to lift his head up and straighten his throat so that he could swallow the dried instant noodles.

At this moment, a car came, and in the wind and rain, the headlights shone towards them like two pillars of snow.

Ying Yuanjun and two colleagues immediately stood in the center of the roadway at the head of the bridge and raised the no-go sign. The car stopped, and two people got down. Ying Yuanjun recognized one of them as Fang Jia!

Ying Yuanjun couldn't help but shout: "Fang Jia! Secretary Fang, it's you! ”

Fang Jia introduced a tall young woman behind her and said, "This is Zhang Qian, a doctor of sociology from the University of Science and Technology, and the initiator of the love volunteer team, Zhang Qian!" ”

Ying Yuanjun was surprised: "Oh, the weather is so bad, wind, rain and cold waves, you don't run around, it's dangerous!" ”

Zhang Qian said: "Let's show love to the police uncle!" Haha, hats off to you guys! ”

Fang Jia said: "We brought you a little food, eat it while it's hot." ”

Fang Jia and Zhang Qian handed three boxes of hot coffee to Ying Yuanjun and two policemen. Fang Jia said: "The dumplings were personally made by me and Dr. Zhang Qian in Wang Xinyu's shop!" Sixteen of you each, six or six of you! Eat it! The hot coffee was made by my husband himself in the shop! From now on, I will send it to you once a day to show my heart! ”

Ying Yuanjun and the other two policemen took the dumplings and hot coffee, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

Fang Jia said: "The hood of our car is used as a temporary dining table, you can eat it while it's hot." ”

After eating dumplings and drinking hot coffee, Ying Yuanjun and his two colleagues felt a lot warmer and refreshed.

Ying Yuanjun said: "Fang Jia, you have been promoted to the secretary of Jinghe Street, the burden is heavier, you used to be in charge of more than 3,000 households and 10,000 people in 7 communities in 10,000 communities, and now you are in charge of 70,000 or 80,000 people in more than 10 communities in seven communities, you still take our duty at Qiaotou to heart, thank you!" ”

Fang Jia said: "I'm so busy all day long, I don't know where your director Ying Yuanjun is on duty, it was Dr. Zhang Qian's beauty who discovered you." She passed the bridge every night, and saw the policeman standing in the night, staying up all night, so she came to me and offered to bring you something to eat at night, to lift your spirits. ”

Ying Yuanjun looked at Zhang Qian, which movie star she looked like, but she couldn't say it at once, with a handsome face, long flowing hair, big eyes flashing with wisdom and bookish atmosphere, and a tall and graceful figure. Hey, talent! Everyone loves it!

Fang Jia said: "Zhang Qian is the daughter of Secretary Zhang Dawei, do you know Secretary Zhang Dawei?" Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Leader of the Provincial Epidemic Prevention Inspection Group! ”

Ying Yuanjun's eyes widened: "Oops! Don't say you don't know, I'm shocked when I say it! ”

Zhang Qian said: "I am me, Secretary Zhang is Secretary Zhang, I call him Dad or Lao Zhang at home, and I call him Secretary Zhang outside, haha!" ”

Zhang Qian's words caused them to laugh.

Late at night, Ying Yuanjun patrolled the bridgehead. At this time, in the culvert at the head of the bridge, he found a figure. The sensitivity of his profession aroused his alarm. Who is still here so late? He led a colleague to walk over, searched for a while, and found a person hiding in the culvert of the bridge. The man was unkempt, his clothes dirty, and he shrank in the cold wind.

Ying Yuanjun asked, "What's your name?" Where are you from? ”

The man squeaked for a moment, but did not answer.

Ying Yuanjun felt suspicious and immediately took him to the police station.

Ying Yuanjun handed the stranger who was in refuge a cup of hot water. The man said, "Give me something to eat, I haven't eaten for two or three days, my stomach is flat, and I look like a person shaking water." ”

Ying Yuanjun made him a bowl of instant noodles.

After eating, the man touched his mouth full of stubble and asked, "This is the police station?" ”

Ying Yuanjun nodded.

The man's thin face showed a vague smile and said, "I'm here for the right place, I'm for the right thing." ”

Ying Yuanjun was curious and asked, "Are you looking for the right one?" Why? ”

The man suddenly knelt on the ground and said, "The big investigation, the dilapidated house I rented has also been checked, and I don't dare to open the door." The community went to check every day, I didn't dare to turn on the lights, and I didn't dare to use water, there were lights when the lights were turned on, and the water was used and the water meter was turning, indicating that someone was there, and I had no choice, so I ran out to hide. Hide here for a day, hide there for a day, without food, drink, or money. Go grab it, there's nowhere to grab it, it's all closed. Go steal it, right? There are people in the family, where to steal? I was desperate, starving to death. I turn myself in, the heavens want to arrest me, I turn myself in! ”

It turned out that this was a murderer who had been absconding for seventeen years, and now he has turned himself in.

Ying Yuanjun found some old clothes and asked the absconder to change into wet clothes. He both hated and sympathized with criminals. In the face of the epidemic, some people should have died when they should have lived, and some people should have died to survive. But one way or another, they are all human.

Ying Yuanjun went through the handover formalities in accordance with the procedures and took the absconding prisoner to the detention center. By this time, it was dawn, and this all-nighter was thirty-two sleepers he had not slept. He felt groggy and his eyes heavy. When he returned to the unit, he suddenly felt that his body had lost his balance and collapsed in front of the gate of the police station.

When Ying Yuanjun woke up, he found himself lying in the inpatient department of Fumin Hospital. He was a little nervous and asked the head nurse Liu Xinxin, "Have I been recruited?" Is there a result? ”

Liu Xinxin said: "Don't be nervous, to be investigated, we have cured and discharged a lot of people here, a reporter from the TV station was discharged the day before yesterday, and he was still on the front line yesterday to report on the front-line!" ”

Ying Yuanjun thinks, if you win, you will be hit! It's nothing more than two ways of life and death! Trust the hospital, trust the doctor! Eat when you eat, drink when you drink!

He said to Liu Xinxin: "I really want to drink porridge, porridge with preserved eggs and shredded meat, boil it and drink it, it's cool!" ”

Liu Xinxin didn't know how to answer for a while, the hospital has customized packages for patients, and it is a difficult problem to eat shredded porridge with preserved eggs and meat! However, Liu Xinxin still nodded and said, "Don't worry, early tomorrow morning, send the porridge you want to eat." ”

Ying Yuanjun raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, thank you so much!" ”

Although Liu Xinxin promised to make porridge for Ying Yuanjun, didn't this cause problems and trouble for herself? I have never survived this kind of nutritious porridge. She thought, when the patient comes, it is a family, and it is a good thing that the patient wants to eat and drink, although I have difficulties, I can't let Officer Ying Yuanjun down! She opened Baidu and searched for the method of boiling egg porridge and shredded pork porridge on it. However, sourcing ingredients became a challenge! People can't go out, and it's hard to buy ingredients.

She found Wu Aichun and hoped that he could help solve it.

After Wu Aichun learned of the situation, he immediately discussed it with nurse Sister Lu and others. Everyone worked together to figure out how to get the ingredients together. Wu Aichun said to Liu Xinxin: "Leave the porridge to me, you need to rest." ”

Liu Xinxin said: "You are a big doctor, a member of the expert group, there are more important things that you need to do, these small things, or I will come." I'll boil some more and send you a bowl too! She flashed her eyes mischievously, and she loved this lover in her heart! She thought, after the epidemic is over, Wuhan will be unblocked, I will take him to his hometown, climb the mountain, watch the lake, listen to the birds, bathe in the spring breeze, enjoy the flowers, watch the agriculture and forestry customs, eat hometown specialties, and climb the mythical mountain behind his hometown together, and even hand in hand, hug, and kiss on the blue sky and white cloud lawn......

At seven o'clock the next morning, Liu Xinxin gave the boiled hot porridge to Ying Yuanjun.

Ying Yuanjun gratefully took the bowl of hot porridge with preserved eggs and shredded meat, and said: "I am satisfied when I smell the fragrance of porridge, the old man in the twenty-ninth bed, he nagged me and wanted to drink porridge, you can give it to him." ”

This bowl of porridge was pushed several times between Ying Yuanjun and the twenty-nine patients. The twenty-nine-bed old man said gratefully: "Officer Ying, head nurse Liu, I have lived to be almost eighty years old, and I have seen many good people and good deeds, but this porridge is a sky-high price!" I drank and died without regrets! ”

Ying Yuanjun listened to the words of the twenty-nine old man, and his mind exploded. But he quickly calmed down, he thought, he has contracted the coronavirus, but I will cooperate with the doctor, and I believe that I can get through this hurdle. I have been a soldier, I have participated in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, and when I got lost in the vanguard company, I walked through the minefield by eating leaves and completing the mission, and I believe that I can also break through the minefield without gunpowder.
