Chapter 8 Chapter VI Site Survey

Two months later, the results of the military academy entrance examination and the admission list were released at the same time.As Fang Ping expected, only one of the three was admitted. This person is Sun Mingjie. In fact, He Zisheng and Sun Mingjie happened to have the same high scores in terms of the total scores of the culture, physical fitness and business skills tests.This time, He Zisheng lost without extra points.Sun Mingjie used his body to block the falling bricks to cover the crowd while fighting the fire in the first movie theater, and was injured. He was awarded a third-class personal merit once.The gold content of this third-class work is extremely high. According to the regulations, 10 points can be added for applying for military academies.

He Zisheng fainted when he heard the news.At that time, he didn't have time to think about it, and he dispatched the police as usual to deal with a residential fire that he had just received. The family forgot to turn off the electric fan when they went out, and the electric fan ran around all day, and the wires became hot and spontaneously ignited, causing a fire.The fire was not big and was successfully extinguished within 5 minutes after the water came out.However, the male head of the household was particularly noisy, and repeatedly asked He Zisheng: "My family was hit by a disaster, can the government give me some compensation?"

He Zisheng reeled the hose and said, "Before going out, you must check whether the indoor power supply and the fire source are turned off. You don't have a good habit of using fire and electricity, and you cause a fire accident. This is called self-indulgence. Who can you blame?" The male head of the household raised his eyebrows, "Hey, what are you talking about, comrade? What do you mean by reaping the fruits of your own will? You don't know that the temperature in Jianglin City is extremely high in summer, and it can go up to 39 or 40 degrees at every turn. Turning off the electric fan can keep the Does the heat in the house blow out? Which household doesn’t do this? It’s just that I’m unlucky..."

He Zisheng said angrily: "You are unreasonable, blaming others. Go ahead, we have to return to the team immediately, don't get in the way! If you want to make up for it, report it to the street, and the fire brigade will just put out the fire!" While speaking, he pushed the male head of the household.Unexpectedly, the man was leaning over his body, half dragging and half dragging his sandals and slippers. When He Zisheng pushed him, the soles of his feet slipped. The male head of the household was furious. He got up and pointed at He Zisheng's nose and cursed: "Stinky firefighter, you dare to beat someone! I want to sue you. I'll go to the fire brigade and ask your leader to sue you!"

He Zisheng was very annoyed, put his hands on his hips, and shouted back: "You go and sue!" After speaking, he jumped on the fire truck, slammed the door hard, and said to the driver: "Return to the team!" Ten minutes later, the male head of the household really ran to the squadron and complained to Hu Lei with snot and tears. The fiery Hu Lei called He Zisheng into the squadron headquarters, pointed at the male head of the household, and said to He Zisheng, "Apologize!" He Zisheng turned his head to the left: "I'm right, I don't apologize!"

Hu Lei shouted: "How dare you not apologize!" He Zisheng said angrily: "Squadron leader, you can send me to the cooking class, and you can arrange for me to be discharged at the end of the year. I don't apologize!" Hu Lei's eyes bulged angrily, they were as big and bright as the bulbs of a strong flashlight, and he shouted, "Okay!" Then he put on his hat and adjusted the collar, cuffs, and hem of the police uniform.This full set of standard actions of "tidying up" stunned He Zisheng. Afterwards, Hu Lei stood at attention with a "snap" and extended a standard military salute to the male householder: "Comrade, as the squadron leader of the No. 1 Fire Squadron, I apologize to you on behalf of my soldier Xiaohe. We did not handle this matter properly. please forgive!"

The male head of the household blushed, feeling that the "standard" of such an apology was too high, he waved his hands again and again, and aimed his eyes straight at the door, "Small things, small things, don't take it so seriously. I am also responsible for this matter, I, I... ..." With a sway, he slipped away. After dismissing the male head of the household, Hu Lei turned his head and fired a "machine gun" at He Zisheng: "Come on, let's settle the score! Isn't it just that you didn't get into the military academy? You are going to the police with your thoughts and emotions. What did you just say? Go to the cooking Squad? Really don’t want to do it? Tell you, there is no way! In our squadron, now I have to follow my rules, you have to be the squad leader as usual, and you have to handle every fire accident perfectly. Like Things like today are one thing, but absolutely no two. If you dare to do it again, I will hang you on the training tower with a safety rope!"

He Zisheng jumped up and said, "I'm not going to do it, you can hang it up if you like! Isn't it just an exhibition, I am willing to participate in it!" Hu Lei said: "My old Hu will scare you? Dare to be angry with me! I have always said and done! Huh, leading troops, without whips and beatings, you can't be successful." He Zisheng still couldn't believe that he would fail.The failure of the military academy was his first taste of Waterloo since he joined the army. Before that, he had been quite smooth. He had excellent training results, won firefighting battles repeatedly, served as squad leader and backbone, and successfully joined the party the month before... It seems that as long as you work hard, success is taken for granted.Unexpectedly, this "smoothness" would come to an unexpected end.

Sun Mingjie packed his luggage in full swing, and was about to go to the Armed Police Academy to start his military academy career. Fang Ping expressed to Hu Lei his willingness to retire within the year, and Hu Lei tried to persuade him to stay, but Fang Ping made up his mind to go, and finally got his approval. Only He Zisheng was at a loss, not knowing where he was going.Of course, his compulsory service period is still one year away, and it's not time to make a final decision.However, his two-year career as a firefighter has made him used to planning for a rainy day, just like making a fire fighting plan, and he began to seriously consider his long-term life plan-continue to enter the military academy, or become a volunteer?The places for these two items are always limited. What should we do if we cannot achieve them?Sometimes, he can’t help being ashamed, even ashamed, because he often thinks of Wang Wei, the squad leader of Wang Wei interprets his love for the firefighting industry with his life and maintains the dignity of the profession, but he is entangled in personal interests and future, and entangled endlessly.

Hu Lei had indeed pinpointed He Zisheng's pulse.Although He Zisheng spoke harshly, how could he really accept being humiliated in public.Although the crux of the heart is still unresolved, the task in hand is still completed. One day at the end of August, after morning exercises, He Zisheng received a new task: to lead a team out of a fire truck to assist Maopo Village in dealing with the fire accident. Maopo Village is located in the outskirts of Jianglin City, an hour's drive from the First Squadron. As soon as He Zisheng got into the car, he began to complain to Fang Ping, "One hour! By the time we arrive, it will have already been burned up!"

Fang Ping passed the army driver's license examination at the end of last year, and now works as a fire truck driver. While driving carefully, he said, "What can I do? There is no fire station in the countryside, and the Guangming Road Squadron closest to Maopo Village is about 40 minutes away by car." Well. We are not the farthest, so we will send reinforcements." He Zisheng said angrily: "Although it is said that 'when there is police, there must be action' is the purpose of the fire brigade. However, some people's awareness of disaster prevention is too lacking, and some always blame the government and the fire brigade, which is chilling." Fang Ping smiled and said, "Hey, I've been hit by a disaster, I have to find an outlet, I can understand how I feel." The fire truck was heavy and slow, and the road conditions in the suburbs were poor. Although He Zisheng said he was impatient, he was anxious.From the first day of the sun to the hot sunlight hitting the car windows, the inside of the fire truck was as hot as a steamer, forcing everyone to take off their combat suits, wipe their sweat and fan the wind, and finally arrived at the fire scene in bumps. He Zisheng jumped out of the car, glanced at the scene, and felt distressed: Miserable!Devastated! In front of him was an undulating ruins, spanning one or two miles in length and breadth, which showed that the involvement was extensive.The fire had already been extinguished, not extinguished, but burned to the ground. Several fire trucks were already parked on the side of the road, and several comrades in arms were asking the villagers about the situation.Occasionally, sporadic small fires burned faintly in the ruins of the ruins, and the smoke with the smell of sawdust and meat shrouded the ruins like cooking smoke. Next to the ruins, the villagers who were affected by the disaster and onlookers were densely surrounded, crying and shouting together.There is a pair of aunts and uncles supporting each other, facing the former homeland, crying loudly; a young woman embraces the quilt and clothes snatched from the fire scene, kneeling on the ground and crying in despair; Squatting, perhaps, he was crying silently. Fang Ping got out of the car and sighed, "Oh, it's still too late." He Zisheng said helplessly: "Even if we know that it is difficult to rescue, we have to rush to the fire scene with all our might. Isn't this what we call doing our best to ensure our destiny?" He stepped forward and greeted Li Dada, the deputy squadron leader of the Guangming Road Squadron who arrived earlier, " Deputy Squadron Leader Li, we couldn't help, so we have to return to the team first." Li Dada was discussing something with several villagers. Among them was a middle-aged man who was tall and thick, who looked somewhat similar to the Zhanshan Leopard in "Wulongshan Bandit Suppression", with a red face and a thick neck, and he was emotional. Li Dada came out, patted He Zisheng on the shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Okay. You have nothing to do here, so go back first. This fire caused a lot of damage, and the cause is unclear. Some villagers misunderstood the fire brigade and are raising fire. Opinion. Investigators of the cause of the fire from the detachment will arrive soon, and I will wait here for the handover of work, and you will withdraw first.” He Zisheng noticed that when the two of them were talking, the "Drilling Mountain Leopard" was staring at them.He Zisheng keenly sensed that the atmosphere at the scene was not right, and said, "Do you need our help? Let's not rush to withdraw." Li Dada said: "It's okay. There's no need to leave too many people here, you guys should close the team first." He Zisheng nodded, gestured to Fang Ping, and said, "Close the team." Who knows, as soon as the words fell, "Drilling Mountain Leopard" shouted loudly: "Folks, the fire brigade is planning to slip away! Look, they just arrived after the fire was all gone! Now they want to slip away again, there is no such cheap thing, let's farm Farming the land to feed these soldiers, they eat for nothing! Smashed their fire engines!" "Yes, smashed their fire truck!" Their homes were destroyed, and the villagers immersed in grief were instantly inspired. A dozen young and strong men rushed over aggressively, followed by a large group of men, women and children. Li Dada waved, "He Zisheng, hurry up and get in the car!" He Zisheng jumped into the car, and the car was blocked by villagers before it could start. "Get out of the car, get out of the car! Soldiers, get out of the car and give us an explanation!" Countless hands slapped the glass windows of the fire truck, some punched and kicked the door and water tank of the fire truck, and some shouted obscene words. Fang Ping smiled helplessly: "This is really a passionate group." He Zisheng felt that the situation in front of him was difficult to understand, and said in a low voice: "As the saying goes, when a scholar meets a soldier, he can't justify it. But when we soldiers meet ordinary people, we can't justify it. What's the matter?" Indeed, after serving in the army for several years, fighting fires and saving lives was highly respected. He Zisheng had never seen such a scene.Other things are tolerable. When he saw a peasant woman spit at the fire truck, he was so angry that his lungs bubbled like a goldfish. He immediately stretched out his hand to pull the car door, gritted his teeth, and retracted : Patience, don't let the soldiers brought out be beaten! Seeing that the firefighters refused to get out of the car, "Drilling Mountain Leopard" added fuel to the fire and continued to fan the flames: "These firefighters are useless anyway, let's pick up rocks and smash their cars!" Immediately, many villagers shouted and shouted. He Zisheng shook his head, and Fang Ping said: "Listen to me, I will get off the car and explain to the common people, you are responsible for locking the doors, and the soldiers are not allowed to get out of the car!" In a panic, Fang Ping grabbed He Zisheng's skirt and said, "He Zi, don't go! You are only looking for a beating, and they will beat you to death!" He Zisheng said: "The fire engine is our weapon. I can't let the weapon get damaged, and I can't back down!" After speaking, he broke free from Fang Ping's pull, opened the door, and jumped out of the car. As soon as his feet touched the ground, "Drilling Mountain Leopard" grabbed him by the collar: "Hit him, hit him!" He Zisheng grabbed the opponent's wrist with his backhand and shouted sharply, "Stop!" "Drilling Mountain Leopard" was stunned for a moment, but was shocked by He Zisheng's aura for a while, but when he looked up and down, He Zisheng was young and immature, so he felt that he was a bully, and shouted: "Look, the firemen actually have the face to call us, beat us!" This kid!" Immediately, more siege came over, some pulled He Zisheng's battle uniform, some pulled his hair, He Zisheng blocked from left and right, but his fists were defeated by four legs, accidentally, he was slapped on the left cheek, hitting him Eyes are golden. He Zisheng, who grew up in a teacher's family, was spanked, palmed, and ears twisted by his father, but he was never slapped.A slap in the face is a great humiliation!He Zisheng was so furious that he threw out both fists, swung the left side and swept the right side, and immediately several villagers were punched and yelled "Alas, alas".However, this failed to deter the villagers, and more people rushed forward. "Drilling Mountain Leopard" took the opportunity to continue fanning the flames: "The firemen beat people! Brothers and sisters, come forward and help!" He Zisheng was punched again in the right arm, and his nose was knocked, blood flowed out, the pain was so painful that he really wanted to shed tears.More heartache, of course.He thought desperately, if he fights it out, he will lose this little life at worst!But when I changed my mind, I realized that this idea was completely wrong: I was beaten to death by ordinary people who didn't know the truth, how unyielding!If you want to die, you have to be on the scene of the fire, so you are a martyr!When he was distracted, he received a few more punches on his body. He saw Li Dada also jumped off the fire engine and was trying to squeeze towards him, shouting, "Don't hit me, don't hit me!" No one paid any attention.He saw Fang Ping and the soldiers in the fire truck look anxious, and they were all ready to move. He quickly shouted: "No one is allowed to get out of the car without my order!" He punched him in the mouth, causing blood from his mouth and nose. "Stop!" A thick shout cut through the chaos, the voice seemed to have penetrating power, causing all the villagers present to stop involuntarily, and the scene was instantly quiet. It was Yu Manjiang!Behind him is the Beijing brand jeep police car of the detachment. Yu Manjiang walked towards the crowd while cleaning up his police uniform, with a solemn expression on his face. He Zisheng was first happy and then worried: With Yu Manjiang alone, how can he turn the tide! Sure enough, the crowd was silent for less than a minute, and someone asked loudly, "Are you from the fire brigade?" "Yes." Yu Manjiang answered briefly and forcefully. "Seeing that you look like an official, it's just right that you come to judge whether you firefighters should fight!" the "Drilling Mountain Leopard" yelled arrogantly, and many villagers nearby agreed. Yu Manjiang stepped forward, opened the hand of "Drilling Mountain Leopard" that was holding He Zisheng's belt, and said, "Today's matter should be judged properly!" Yu Manjiang was powerful in martial arts, "Drilling Mountain Leopard" slapped Yu Manjiang in pain. Yu Manjiang raised his head, his eyes were piercing, and he stared at the other party.After all, Jiang was old and hot, and the "Drilling Mountain Leopard" couldn't stand it, his arrogance dropped, and his hands drooped sullenly. "Who is the village chief, please stand up." Controlling the situation for the time being, Yu Manjiang looked around the crowd in front of him and said unhurriedly. After a while, a middle-aged man with a medium build and a dark face walked out of the crowd. Yu Manjiang asked bluntly: "Village Chief, it's fine if other people don't understand or are confused. I think you should know. Tell the villagers how long it takes to drive from the village to the city?" The village chief smiled, bowed, and said embarrassedly, "At least an hour." He turned around and shook hands with He Zisheng, "Comrade, you have been wronged. I don't blame you for coming late for what happened today. It's because the distance is too long. , Far water can’t put out a nearby fire. You see, I can’t do anything, I failed to control the situation well, and it’s what it is now.” Speaking of this, he lowered his head and wiped his tears, “My house is also burned down…” He Zisheng was originally full of anger towards the village head, but when he heard these words, his heart arose with compassion. Now the truth is revealed, everyone looks at me and I look at you, and I am too ashamed to say anything. Yu Manjiang said: "Folks, I know that you are affected by the disaster and feel uncomfortable. Now, the most important thing is to find out the cause of the fire and assess the loss of the fire. I think the government will not ignore everyone's disaster and will definitely resettle them properly. Everyone, I heard that the leaders of the city government were in a meeting, and now they are rushing to the village!" When he said this, some villagers responded bitterly: "Yes, we must find out the cause of the fire and see which house started the fire, which caused us to suffer such a big disaster!" Someone sighed, "Dozens of families were completely burned down, how can we find out the cause of the fire?" Yu Manjiang smiled, walked up to the jeep with a few strides, opened the front door, and said, "Our fire brigade sent an expert—Ren Kaishan, a senior engineer. He came here to investigate the cause of the fire accident. Folks please Don't worry, I will give you an answer." Walking out of the car was Ren Lao with gray hair.It was the first time that He Zisheng heard Mr. Ren's full name——Ren Kaishan. The village head trotted forward, nodded and stretched out his hand, "Hi, expert." Unexpectedly, Mr. Ren just reached out his hand and touched the village head like a dragonfly, without showing any enthusiasm.Even, there was no smile on Mr. Ren's face. He quickly withdrew his right hand, glanced at the villagers indifferently, picked up the huge fire detection box, and walked straight to the ruins. Even though He Zisheng knew a little about Mr. Ren's character, he still felt stunned and incomprehensible to the scene in front of him.He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and gestured to Fang Ping from a distance, ready to return to the team.Yu Manjiang called to stop him and said, "Xiao He, you stay and help Mr. Ren with chores. Fang Ping, you take the car back to the team." Ever since he plunged into the scene, Mr. Ren has hardly spoken.He meticulously rummaged, searched, measured, and recorded in every corner of the fire scene. He Zisheng didn't understand the fire adjustment business, and all he did was help Mr. Ren with his notebook and evidence bag.When it was time for lunch, Mr. Ren refused to eat, but told He Zisheng to fill his stomach quickly. He Zisheng and Yu Manjiang squatted together eating instant noodles. Yu Manjiang sucked in a big mouthful of noodles with a "huh", and spoke in a slurred voice, "He Zi, I heard that you have been in a mood lately?" He Zisheng didn't say a word, and after a while, he said, "It's normal to be emotional. I feel bad, and I want to vent it." "Not only that. I think you are a little confused about the situation. How could you be so impulsive and fight with the crowd today. If you can't control it, something big will happen!" He Zisheng thought for a while, put down the instant noodle bowl, and said sincerely: "Sun Mingjie is studying in the military academy and Fang Ping is going to be discharged. As active soldiers, firefighting is unlikely to become our lifelong career. Maybe, next year or the year after, I have to do something else." thing." Yu Manjiang listened carefully, and then said: "He Zi, you can say these words frankly, which shows that you are thinking about the problem and gradually mature. To be honest, I can't give a good answer to your question. Maybe you can Find the answer in Mr. Ren." He Zisheng was surprised, "Mr. Ren?" Yu Manjiang said: "Have you noticed that Mr. Ren's mood is a little abnormal today?" He Zisheng nodded, "Yes, I neither scolded me nor satirized you." Yu Manjiang sighed: "This fire probably brought back his sadness." He Zisheng asked, "What's sad?" Yu Manjiang picked up the bowl, "Gulu Gulu" drank the instant noodle soup upside down, and said, "It might be better for Mr. Ren to tell you about this matter." At this time, the village head brought a bowl of freshly soaked noodles Yu Manjiang handed the bowl to He Zisheng, "Go, send it to Mr. Ren. People are iron, and rice is steel." Three days and three nights of investigation, almost without sleep. Five surveys were conducted on the site, and more than 200 relevant personnel were questioned one after another. Even though He Zisheng was young and energetic, he also found it difficult to support. On the afternoon of the next day after the investigation, the location of the fire was determined to be the residence of the village chief.He Zisheng realized something, and said, "Mr. Ren, I've always wondered why the village head would let the villagers mess around. It turns out that he has a ghost in his heart!" Mr. Ren checked the interrogation record and said without raising his head, "This is your guess. The cause of the fire must be based on evidence." The village chief was extremely cunning. Faced with two successive inquiries, he firmly refused to admit that the fire was caused by his own house.Mr. Ren was not in a hurry, and continued to investigate the scene, investigate and collect evidence.With the deepening of the investigation, the identity of the "Drilling Mountain Leopard" who caused the most trouble that day was revealed. It turned out that he was the village chief's cousin.He Zisheng felt more and more aware. In the early morning of the fourth day, Mr. Ren closed the net.He called the deputy township head in charge of security, the police from the local police station, the village head, and "Drilling Mountain Leopard" into the village committee office, and Yu Manjiang and He Zisheng took out the investigation records, investigation transcripts, and traces of physical evidence. Analyze item by item. At first, the village chief rolled his eyes to try to calm down, thinking that a big fire would burn everything up, so there would be no real evidence.However, in front of the chain of evidence, his legs trembled not long after, and he had to admit that the fire was caused by his throwing cigarette butts and igniting firewood. Because he was afraid of taking responsibility, he stabbed the "Drilling Mountain Leopard" to make trouble in an attempt to muddle through. When the investigation of the case was clear, the village head lowered his head and signed the transcript of the inquiry. The deputy head who was watching was very excited and held Mr. Ren's hand and refused to let it go. " Mr. Ren smiled indifferently, "Finding out the cause of the fire is only an afterthought. If the fire prevention work of the grassroots organizations is more meticulous, the villagers' awareness of fire prevention will be stronger, and weeds piled up in front of and behind the house and randomly thrown If the bad habits of cigarette butts and tinder are corrected, and the police can be called in time after a fire occurs, then this fire will not happen, and even if it does, it will not cause such huge losses.” The deputy township head felt the same way, and said, "You are right. We have not done enough to strengthen rural fire prevention and raise people's fire awareness." Mr. Ren nodded, shook hands with the deputy mayor, and walked out of the gate of the village committee.Yu Manjiang pushed He Zisheng, He Zisheng came to his senses and hurriedly followed. It was almost late at night.The sky in the suburbs is exceptionally blue, and the moon is shining like a moon, gently covering the ruined ruins after the fire.Mr. Ren walked slowly among the ruined walls, and He Zisheng followed quietly. The two walked one behind the other for an unknown amount of time.Suddenly, Mr. Ren bent down and dug through the ruins, and after a while, he dug out something. He Zisheng stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "What is this?" Mr. Ren fiddled with the things in his hands, and said, "It's a tin toy called rooster pecking rice. You see, the two roosters on the left and the right are originally red, but they were blackened by the smoke." He Zisheng asked curiously, "How do you play with this toy?" "Look, there is a rice trough between the two roosters. There used to be a rope under it, but it was burned. As long as you pull the rope, the roosters will bow their heads and peck the rice one after the other." Mr. Ren explained patiently. He Zisheng noticed that Mr. Ren actually smiled when he spoke, with a gentle smile.This was the smile that He Zisheng never expected to appear on Mr. Ren's face.This smile infected He Zisheng, he felt soft in his heart, and couldn't help smiling. Mr. Ren stroked the toy, sighed softly, and said, "My daughter, Yaya, used to like this toy the most." On this moonless night, Mr. Ren told He Zisheng about the past ten years ago. That was his most painful past—— Through the dilapidated walls in front of him, Ren Laoyao saw the Shuangdong Street of Jianglin City ten years ago—— The fire was soaring into the sky, the clouds were burning red, and dozens of streets and alleys were deeply engulfed in flames. The sounds of cries, cries for help, and running rushed towards the fire truck that had just arrived at the scene, and towards Ren Kaishan, the new captain of the Shuangdong Fire Brigade. Ren Kaishan red-eyed and shouted wildly: "Get out of the water, hurry up and put out the fire!" After a while, Yu Manjiang, a cadre who had just been awarded the rank of second lieutenant, reported: "Captain, the fire truck has run out of water!" Ren Kaishan shouted: "Take the water from the fire hydrant!" Yu Manjiang cried, "We searched all six fire hydrants, but none of them could discharge water. Some of them had insufficient water pressure, and some had their hydrants dismantled, so they couldn't be used!" "Then find the nearest fire water source, fetch water, and put out the fire!" "Captain, it's useless! This area is full of old houses with brick and wood structures. Once a fire breaks out, it will be a burning camp. In addition, the police are too late, our police force is seriously insufficient, and the fire is out of control! Captain, you Hurry up and save sister-in-law and Yaya, they are very dangerous inside!" Yu Manjiang reminded. Ren Kaishan's wife and daughter went to Jianglin City with the army last month. They don't have a house, so they are temporarily renting in the second lane of Shuangdong Street. "Divide into two groups, one group enters the fire site to evacuate and rescue the masses, and the other group continues to put out the fire!" Ren Kaishan continued to give orders. "Captain, hurry up and save sister-in-law and Yaya, I'm afraid it's too late!" "Why howling? Don't act quickly!" Ten hours later, the Tongtian fire that burned more than 20 streets and alleys and affected nearly a thousand families was finally extinguished. Ren Kaishan, who was exhausted, went to the depths of the smoky alley, looking for his wife and daughter.Accidentally, he collided with someone head-on, and when he took a closer look, it turned out to be the landlord who rented the house. He couldn't help asking in surprise, "Sister-in-law Liu, have you seen my lover and daughter?" Seeing that it was Ren Kaishan, Mrs. Liu raised her hand and slapped him on the face, crying, "My house is gone, it's all burned down! It's all about you, your fire brigade can't put out the fire, and we suffered a disaster! " Ren Kaishan was shocked, ignoring the pain on his face, he grabbed Aunt Liu and asked, "It's all burned up? What about my wife and daughter, have you seen it?" Mrs. Liu didn't answer at all, she grabbed Ren Kaishan with her backhand, and yelled loudly while crying: "Neighbors, look, these are the soldiers of the fire brigade, they are useless, they made our house and property burnt down." You said, should this kind of person be beaten, should he be beaten?!" With this shout, many people quickly gathered around Ren Kaishan, some scolding, some wrestling. Ren Kaishan had no choice but to cover his head with his hands to avoid being chased, and explained loudly: "Everyone in the neighborhood, you know the situation in Shuangdong Street best. The problems left over from history, the houses have low fire resistance and are adjacent to each other, and no one cares about the damage of fire hydrants. , making it difficult to rescue after a fire, you can't just blame the fire brigade!" At this time, no one paid any attention to him, and a dozen or so residents got closer and closer, forcing him into a small corner.Seeing that fists were about to rain down, Yu Manjiang rushed over with a few soldiers, "Who dares to hit my captain!" The besieging crowd was dispersed slightly, Ren Kaishan raised his head, and suddenly, he saw a familiar figure, "Yulian, Yulian!" He pushed away the crowd in front of him desperately, and rushed to grab that person's hand. That's right, it was his wife He Yulian. "Yulian, are you alright?" Ren Kaishan was very excited, looking around, "Where is Yaya, why isn't she by your side?" He Yulian was originally wandering in the street in a daze, but when she heard the word "yaya", she woke up like a dream, let out a long howl of "wow", and beat Ren Kaishan's chest again and again, "Where are you running? Let's go, why don't you come and save us! Yaya is gone, she's missing!" Ren Kaishan was so startled that he took three steps back, he couldn't believe his ears: "What did you say, Yaya, it's gone?" He Yulian burst into tears and said: "It's not that you don't know that the alley we live in is deep, the fire started from Wu Tailor's shop in the back alley, and spread to our downstairs in the blink of an eye! At that time, Yaya was taking a nap, and I shook her Wake up, pick up and run downstairs. We live in the attic, and the stairs are narrow and broken. How many times have I asked you to help with repairs, but you always say that you don’t have the time. When I went downstairs, I fell and told Yaya Rolling down the stairs together, Yaya got a cut on her forehead, bleeding and screaming in pain. I didn’t care so much, I picked her up and ran out of the house desperately. There are so many people in the alley, crowded, some facing outwards Running, some wanted to go home to get belongings, crying and screaming, Yaya kept crying in my ear, shouting 'Mom, I hurt, hurt'. Coincidentally, there was a Chinese medicine shop on the side of the road, the door of the shop was open, and the shop The boss is rushing to pick up medicinal materials. I hugged Yaya and asked her to stand aside. I asked the boss for medicinal materials and planned to apply them on Yaya's injured forehead. But when I got the medicinal materials, it took less than a minute Kung fu, when I looked back, Yaya was gone! I kept looking, looking, and asking around, but no one said they saw Yaya..." Ren Kaishan's eyes widened, "How could such a thing happen! Could it be that a well-meaning acquaintance took Yaya temporarily?" He Yulian scolded angrily: "You are still deceiving yourself here! You are also a father? You are not like a child's father!" At this point, she burst into tears, "If you are an acquaintance, how can you clearly see me and take Yaya away? Most of our Yaya was abducted by bad guys! Otherwise, it would be..." She covered her mouth abruptly, not daring to continue speaking, her feet went limp, and she slumped to the ground. Ren Kaishan burst into tears, and squatted down while holding his forehead. The onlookers had heard the conversation between the two, so they didn't want to call Ren Kaishan anymore.Aunt Liu sighed and comforted He Yulian: "Don't be sad. These streets are deep and big. There are always places you haven't looked for. I'll help you find them." You deserve it for losing your daughter! This is punishment!" Yu Manjiang was furious when he heard this, and he raised his fist and shouted angrily: "Are you still a human!" The man shrank his head and ran away. Ren Kaishan and his wife searched for 10 days.He went door to door and asked the neighbors in the neighborhood, took Yaya's photo to visit major bus stations and train stations in the city, and even asked passers-by for help with a large photo of Yaya on important streets in the city.In the end, nothing came of it. After the scene of the fire accident was cleaned up, more than a dozen bodies were carried out, all of whom were suffocated by smoke or burned alive before they could escape.There were no remains of the children among them.This does not represent good news, because the fire area is too large, and many buildings and structures were razed to the ground. According to the forensic doctor of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, the remains of some victims will be burned to the ground. Ren Kaishan, who fell into despair, had to go back to the brigade and continue to work. On the afternoon of his first day at work, he was convening a meeting of all cadres when the door of the conference room was pushed open, and He Yulian walked in with a pale face, haggard face, and a crumbling body. He Yulian ignored everyone's attention, and went straight to Ren Kaishan. With a shake of her hands, two pages of paper fell on the conference table, her voice was indifferent, "Ren Kaishan, this is the agreement, you sign it quickly. I divorce you." Ren Kaishan stood up abruptly, unable to sit down again, and asked in a low voice: "Why?" "Why?" He Yulian sneered, "Do you think it's interesting to spend a lifetime with someone like you?" Ren Kaishan spoke with difficulty: "I do not agree to divorce." He Yulian smiled contemptuously in return, "If you are willing to sign, it will be convenient for you and me, otherwise, wait for the court's subpoena." After speaking, she walked away regardless of Yu Manjiang's obstruction. In the following week, Ren Kaishan did two incredible things. First, he signed the divorce agreement. The second thing was that he submitted his resignation report, resolutely resigned from the position of team leader, and applied to be an ordinary fire watchman at the water tower on the first road. Mr. Ren's narration ended here, and he did not tell He Zisheng the reasons why he made those two choices at that time. He Zisheng found Yu Manjiang that night, and found out the whole story from his mouth. Yu Manjiang said: "I am a student of Lao Ren. I asked him why. He said, first, He Yulian could not forgive him. For a woman, losing a child is the biggest trauma. Maybe letting her go can heal the wound; Second, the fire has demoralized him." He Zisheng was puzzled, "Being beaten because of being misunderstood by the masses?" Yu Manjiang shook his head, "If you understand Lao Ren in this way, you really underestimate him. He joined the work in the 1960s, full of enthusiasm, and devoted himself to creating a new situation in the fire protection industry. However, there is always a process of development, which requires the efforts of several generations. Especially the fire protection work , was originally synchronized with the development of the local economy, and the awareness of fire protection among the masses was also gradually improved. The fire happened in the early 1980s, just after the Cultural Revolution. Not moving forward, coupled with the disappearance of my beloved daughter, the two blows are superimposed, and the camel will inevitably be crushed to death by the straw!" He Zisheng nodded and said, "After another ten years, our fire protection infrastructure is still weak, the awareness of the common people seems to have not been improved, and fire accidents still occur frequently. No wonder Mr. Ren is very unhappy today." Yu Manjiang said: "No, you look at the problem this way, narrow. In the past ten years, the fire protection work has developed and changed a lot. Both the government and our fire department have done a lot of work. It's just that fire protection should be a socialized job. It is difficult for the government and the fire department to achieve the desired results alone. If everyone understands the importance of fire safety, participates in fire management, actively maintains and cares for public fire infrastructure, does not misappropriate fire equipment, and learns the common sense of fire prevention and escape and self-rescue, the fire protection The work will definitely enter a new stage.” He Zisheng was fascinated when he heard it, and said doubtfully: "Will there be that day? I feel like describing Utopia." Yu Manjiang smiled and said: "We will definitely reach that day, as long as we work hard. If you are doing fire fighting now, one day you will be doing fire prevention work again. At that time, you will really understand what I said today. This is what the old man has been waiting for for a long time. Ideal for firefighting.” He Zisheng asked again: "Why does Mr. Ren insist on applying to be a fire watchman?" Yu Manjiang said: "That's because although he acted disheartened, he never gave up his ideal. As a fire watchman, he can keep an eye on the fire safety of the entire Jianglin City. At the same time, he probably also hoped that through the telescope, 'Look out' to your daughter." He Zisheng was silent, but there was a kind of emotion surging in his heart.He thought of the photo he picked up, the sweet smile of his old daughter; he thought of Wang Wei's decisive steps and resolute expression when he walked towards the fire.Some people defend their ideals with their lives; some people guard their ideals with their lives.As yourself, what else can you hesitate and hesitate? 余满江笑问：“怎么，发什么呆？” 贺子胜回过神，说道：“大队长，任老随身总带着一张女儿的照片，您知道吗？” 余满江说：“当然知道。不仅他身上有，我随身也带着一张。” 贺子胜高兴地说：“照片能不能借我一用？” 余满江说：“你想做什么？” 贺子胜满怀憧憬，“我去翻印一批，我想帮任老找回他的女儿。” 余满江黯然道：“希望渺茫。” 贺子胜说：“不管希望怎样微小，我一定要做。余大队，您身上始终揣着她的照片，难道不是同样的想法？” 事后，贺子胜自己掏腰包，到照相馆将任老女儿的照片翻印了30余张，一一分发给中队战士，包括即将启程上军校的孙明杰和马上退伍的方平。
