Chapter 56: I Want to Comfort You (2nd Update)
Gu Chengchuan heard the news of Niu Zhiwei and Sun Haiyang falling from the building in the headset, and the command asked all firefighters to withdraw from the danger zone.
Gu Chengchuan quietly switched channels and told the soldiers who were close to the core area of the explosion to retreat!
He reached out and lifted the helmet above his head, letting the overhead light shine straight ahead, and continued on his way.
Now that he was closest to the container containing explosive chemical gases, he had to quickly cut off the spreading fire and block the nearby ignition point.
Otherwise, in the event of an explosion, the consequences will be unimaginable.
……
Xu Qiao kept standing stiff, staring at the chaotic picture on the screen.
She knew that the two firefighters who fell from the building might have survived zero! If they weren't exhausted, they wouldn't give up trying to survive for fear of affecting their nearby comrades.
Zhou Yansheng was also shocked and stood up in a daze for a long time.
looked down and saw the mist gathering in Xu Qiao's eyes, and reached out to hold her shoulder: "Don't worry, Lao Gu will be fine." ”
Xu Qiao blinked, blinked the mist in his eyes, and his tone was a little firm: "Yes, he will be fine." It's just that I feel sorry for every innocent life. ”
The news was not reported continuously, and after the advertisements were inserted, the news broadcast began.
Xu Qiao suddenly felt that her legs were weak, and she sat on the chair, watching the news in a daze.
Zhou Yansheng clapped his hands and eased the atmosphere: "Okay, what do you want to eat at night, I'll cook?" ”
Xu Qiao shook her head: "I don't want to eat." What do you say Gu Chengchuan is doing now? Will it be dangerous? ”
Zhou Yansheng touched his nose: "You have to believe that Lao Gu is fateful." ”
For Xu Qiao only having Gu Chengchuan in his eyes, Zhou Yansheng inexplicably felt uncomfortable, which was a feeling he had never felt before. Shaking his head: "I'm going to cook." ”
Xu Qiao didn't look back and continued to be in a daze.
The fire lasted until the early hours of the morning before it was completely extinguished, two firefighters were killed, 11 workers were killed in the fire, and five were seriously injured. The direct economic losses caused are tens of millions......
Gu Chengchuan sat in the command car on the return trip, closed his eyes and pressed the corners of his reddened eyes.
There was a soldier beside him who couldn't hold back his tears, his big dirty hands covering his face, tears and black ash oozing from his fingers.
The fighters who drove the car also drove with tears in their eyes.
From the day they entered the fire brigade, they were ready to "leave" at any time, but when the brothers who got along with each other suddenly left, they still couldn't accept it.
Gu Chengchuan always closed his eyes, and the low whimper in his ear was like a blunt knife, cutting his internal organs one by one.
Cold sweat oozed from his aching forehead, but there were no tears in his eyes.
When the car arrived at the fire squadron, the soldiers in the car whimpered and said, "Squadron leader, the little girl who was with you last time." ”
Gu Chengchuan, who was sitting in the co-pilot, opened his eyes and looked out the window, under the street lamp not far from the entrance of the fire brigade, there was a small shadow squatting, wearing a plain white skirt.
At this time, I saw the fire truck, and I slowly stood up, still holding the lunch box in my arms. The small face was shrouded in a warm yellow and somewhat dim street lamp, obscure.
Gu Chengchuan raised his wrist, it was already more than four o'clock in the morning, when the night was the darkest and quietest.
Xu Qiao came over soon after dark, and she waited for it, she couldn't see that Gu Chengchuan was unsure.
Even if you can look at it from a distance.
Watching several fire trucks rushing into the fire squadron, I can't see the people in the car clearly, I believe Gu Chengchuan will definitely be able to see her, right?
Autumn insects are restless, and the night sinks like water.
Xu Qiao stood still and didn't move, watching Gu Chengchuan come out of the gate of the fire brigade with vigorous steps, his body was tall and upright, not like he was injured.
Before Gu Chengchuan had time to take off the chemical protective suit, he came out directly, wanting to talk to Xu Qiao and let her go back first.
When I came to the side, I looked at the little girl's extraordinarily quiet expression, and her eyes were full of concern, and the words that came to her mouth changed: "Waited for a long time?" ”
Xu Qiao looked at Gu Chengchuan, who looked tired and his face was covered with black and gray, and his beautiful Danfeng eyes were exceptionally bright under the street lamp, but they were filled with infinite sadness.
swallowed his throat, his eyes smiled: "I brought you osmanthus cold cake!" I packed the ice pack, and it's still cold. ”
said that he lowered his head and hurried, and even opened the insulated bag a little clumsily and threw it on the ground. A little flustered, he opened the lid of the lunch box and held it in front of Gu Chengchuan like a treasure: "Look, it's delicious." ”
Pieces of snow-white and lovely glutinous rice cakes are dotted with yellow osmanthus petals, which are crystal clear.
Gu Chengchuan lowered his eyes and glanced at it, there was no squeak, and his expression was complicated.
Xu Qiao knew that Gu Chengchuan was in the mood to eat now, and he was not in the mood to laugh and chat with him.
Holding the lunch box in his left hand, he gently pinched a piece of osmanthus cake with his right index finger and thumb, tiptoed, and held the osmanthus cake to Gu Chengchuan's mouth, with caution and flattery: "Take a bite, it's really delicious." ”
Gu Chengchuan glanced at the osmanthus cake on the side of his mouth, and finally lowered his head and opened his mouth to eat it. The lip flap accidentally touched Xu Qiao's fingertips, and the little warmth that suddenly appeared in the refreshing coolness.
He couldn't ignore it, and the osmanthus cold cake in his mouth suddenly seemed to have a taste, a soft fragrance that he had never experienced.
Xu Qiao didn't expect that the tip of her index finger would touch Gu Chengchuan's soft lip, and after withdrawing her hand, her index finger couldn't help curling down slightly. suppressed the sudden throbbing in his heart, and still smiled: "Isn't it delicious?" Zhou Yansheng wanted to eat it, but I didn't let him eat it. ”
As he spoke, he covered the lunch box and stuffed it into Gu Chengchuan's hand: "You hurry up and go back to wash and rest, I'll go back first." ”
Without waiting for Gu Chengchuan to come back to his senses, he turned around and fled like a little rabbit.
She doesn't comfort people and doesn't know what to say when the other person is upset! I'm afraid that if I stay for a while, I can't help but chatter, but it will arouse Gu Chengchuan's sadness.
Gu Chengchuan held a somewhat cool lunch box and watched Xu Qiao's slender back disappear at the bend of the road......
The pain in my heart is still there, mixed with some inexplicable emotions.
Gripping the lunch box tightly, he turned back to the fire brigade.
The soldiers had already changed their clothes and washed up, and now they were all standing in the courtyard and refusing to rest, all of them with red eyes.
Gu Chengchuan knew that everyone was uncomfortable, and they refused to go back to rest.
Gritting his back molars, the green tendons in his temples flaret up a little: "What are you doing here?" In this way, Deputy Squadron Niu and Sun Haiyang can come back? Let's all go back to sleep! ”
The warriors wiped their tears and slowly dispersed, their steps heavy and suppressed.
Gu Chengchuan stood in place, silently watching everyone's figures disappear in front of the dormitory building.
Jiang Zhengnan came over with red eyes, and his voice choked up several times: "Big bull...... Big Cow's Family...... I know that I can't accept it. Tomorrow we will go together. Da Niu's parents are old, and this blow is too heavy for them! ”
The corners of Gu Chengchuan's eyes were red, he hummed softly, and turned around and walked towards his dormitory.
Jiang Zhengnan covered his eyes with his hands, he couldn't hold back the tears, why did his comrades-in-arms who were still watching TV together in the morning leave?
