Police Chen Shu

A few days later, in the inpatient department of the hospital, early in the morning.

After knowing that he was fine, Chen Shu felt much more relieved. In addition to waking up every day and secretly telling myself a few words, "Don't be an example", "I only have one life", "I haven't asked my wife to have a baby and raise my parents", life is considered leisure.

At this time, he was lying on the hospital bed, while comfortably eating the fresh apples delivered by Chen's mother yesterday, while swiping the Douyin on his phone.

"Team Chen." Pu Shu, who was wearing casual clothes, opened the door and walked in, greeted him and sat down beside the bed.

This delicate and sensitive young man was also persuaded by Chen Shu for a long time when he came to visit several times. Looking at his current demeanor, he should have come out of the shadow of the last fire accident.

Chen Shu took out an apple from the bag on the bedside table and threw it over, and said with a smile, "It's been washed, let's eat it. Why are you free today? Didn't you go to work?"

Pu Shu took the apple, gnawed it down, and said calmly, "Captain Chen, I have already resigned."

Resign?

Chen Shu, who could barely bite his teeth on half of the apple flesh, took a big bite and ate it for a long time.

"Well, it's good. The job of police assistant is really not a long-term solution."

"Not for this reason."

Chen Shu took another bite of the apple: "Well, there must be a reason."

Pu Shu asked: "Captain Chen, don't you want to ask me why I resigned?"

Chen Shu wrapped the leftover apple cores in a paper towel and put them on the bedside table, and said with a smile, "Everyone has his own ambitions. You are already in your twenties. Do you still want to ask others when you do things? But if you are willing to share with me For nagging, I think I'd be a good listener."

Pu Shu chuckled, then took a few bites of the apple, quickly finished the apple, wrapped the remaining apple core in a paper towel according to Chen Shu's method, and put it gently on the bedside table.

He looked at the bright sunshine outside the window, and seemed to be recalling: "Team Chen. Actually, I have admired heroes since I was a child, and I also thought that I could be a hero when I grow up. But I can't do it when I grow up. I want to go to the police, so I can only come here to taste what it's like to be an assistant policeman.

"Although I put on a police uniform, sometimes I naively think that I am really a policeman who fights violence. But in fact, I am just a fake policeman wearing a police uniform."

Chen Shu wanted to explain, but he endured it.

Pu Shu stopped and listened to the crisp birdsong outside the window. After a while, he spoke again: "Later, my family put pressure on me to resign from this hopeless job. At that time, everyone stopped me. As long as you coldly agree to let me go."

On the eve of the big martial arts competition, Pu Shu's mother came to the unit to force him to resign, but he still resisted the pressure and delayed for a while, trying to get excellent results in the big martial arts competition, so as to block the voice of opposition from his family.

"Cold?" Chen Shu was stunned, but he still laughed, "Am I so unkind?"

"Yeah." Pu Shu responded frankly, pulled his eyes back from the window, and looked straight at the captain he respected, "Afterwards, I kind of blamed you, thinking that you have no comrades in battle, and you are worthy of being the leader who came from the police station. .”

Chen Shu touched his nose, but did not speak.

Pu Shu lowered his head, twisted his hands for a long time, and then said: "I followed you and everyone to fight the fire until last week. You knew that day, I was rushing to go upstairs to save people."

Chen Shu nodded and said, "Yes, I can feel that your attitude is quite firm."

Pu Shu, who bowed his head, raised the corners of his mouth, so that Chen Shu could not see his expression of not smiling, nor crying: "Captain Chen, you stopped me. Well, you stopped me well. I stood downstairs and stared blankly behind me." Seeing you jumping from the balcony on the fourth floor, do you know what I was thinking at that time?"

Chen Shu narrowed his eyes, remembering the scene when he decided to jump from the balcony on the fourth floor.

He held the little boy in his arms, and stood against the wall on the outside of the balcony. He was facing thick smoke, and the balcony next door, which was two meters away, was constantly spraying flames, and behind him was gusts of cold wind.

Close your eyes, as if in a trance, you have returned to that time.

Holding the little boy in his right hand, he looked down at the road downstairs.

The old building is very tall, and the limbs are very weak.

That feeling is fear.

"It's fear." Pu Shu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said firmly, "At that time, I put myself in your position in my heart, and my heart was full of fear. Standing downstairs, I have been glad that I listened to you Order, ran upstairs to save people without impulse."

Not caring about face like a young man, Pu Shu confides his heart like facing his own elders, even though it is full of embarrassing fear and escape.

Chen Shu opened his eyes, staring at the former special police member with vicissitudes in his tone that completely didn't match his youthful appearance.

He tried to comfort him, but he didn't know how to speak. Because his first reaction at the time was also fear. Until today, a week later, I still wake up when I dream at night. When I touched the covering quilt and the bedding underneath, they were all wet.

Everyone said that he, Chen Shu, was a 'Desperate Saburo', but only he knew that his awe of life made him prefer to be a coward.

Speaking of this, Pu Shu changed his style of painting, and his tone became more relaxed: "Captain Chen, I have figured it out. I can't be a real policeman like a hero. If you give me another chance to encounter this scene of fire, I will definitely be cowardly. Haha, I will definitely be cowardly."

In fact, you are not cowardly. At that time, you were much braver than most people when you offered to go upstairs to save people. Chen Shu had a look of regret, but he was still not ready to say anything about persuading people to stay in the team.

It must have been decided that Pu Shu could come here today. Chen Shu could feel that Pu Shu came here today to bid farewell to Chen Shu as the team leader, and also bid farewell to his own past, ending his dream of being a policeman since he was a child.

Chen Shu nodded: "Although you have left the police force, in the future work and life, I believe that the figure of the police will be hidden in every corner of your heart. Pu Shu, the police are not necessarily heroes, but heroes It doesn't have to be the police, either.

"When you get married in the future, you who make money to support the family are also the hero in the eyes of your wife and children. Including your parents, they are getting old and will slowly rely on you to take care of them. In their In my eyes, no matter how great a hero is, you are not as good as you who take care of your family."

Pu Shu nodded half-understood, then felt relieved, patted his chest, and said, "Captain Chen, I don't regret it."

That's right, Pu Shu will definitely not regret his years as a policeman, nor will he regret his resignation today. As long as he can walk firmly on the path he has chosen.

After thinking for a while, Chen Shu turned over and took out a pair of police training uniforms from under the bed, and tore off the sticky armband with the word "police" written on it.

Holding Pu Shu's hand with his left hand, and firmly pressing the armband in his palm with his right hand, he said earnestly, "A policeman for a day, a policeman for life. I wish you all the best in the future, and come back to see everyone when you have time."

Pu Shu burst into tears and nodded heavily.

Stand up and salute.

Not long after Pu Shu left the ward, Zhang Yang walked in.

During the week when Chen Shu was hospitalized, Zhang Yang came to visit her every day, no matter how busy she was at work or how late it was, she would definitely come over. Every time the style of dressing can make Chen Shu, a straight man of steel, amazed.

She is wearing a long skirt with a waist today. A ribbon outlines a small waist that can be easily grasped. The waist is thinner, and the plump breasts are highlighted. Chen Shu, who has always been a gentleman, couldn't control his figure.

Zhang Yang came to Chen Shu's bed with his hands behind his back and hopped up, his clear eyes bent into crescent moons: "Brother Shu, do you know what I brought you today?"

Chen Shu came back from being amazed, and said in embarrassment: "You really don't need to give me food, I have everything here."

"What are you thinking! I'm a big reporter in Dongzhou. What I bring to you is not such a small thing as eating, drinking and drinking. Hehe, the gift I gave you is something that all men in Dongzhou dream of. Do you want to guess? "

It couldn't be you. Chen Shu didn't know why such an unscrupulous thought suddenly popped up in his head, he blinked quickly, and turned his attention back to Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang smiled mysteriously, and moved closer to Chen Shu. The fragrance of a mature woman on his body made Chen Shu, who could not avoid it, feel a slight wave in his heart.

"Brother Shu, wasn't your previous nickname 'Desperate Saburo'? You have to change it now." Zhang Yang leaned into Chen Shu's ear and whispered, the breath out of his small mouth touched Chen Shu's sensitive ear root. , There was also a hint of mischievous banter in his tone.

After finishing speaking, he took a step back and looked outside the room.

Zhang Yang's nearness and distance made Chen Shu, who was about to fall, let out a long sigh of relief, and followed her gaze towards the door.

The door of the room was opened from the outside, and a large portrait that looked like an oil painting with frames on all sides was brought in from the outside.

The oil painting is very large, and it took a long time for people outside to make it into the ward slowly.

Chen Shu stared at the portrait, and sat up straight involuntarily.

In the painting where the background is obviously the road, a special police officer in a black training uniform folded his arms around his chest, lying quietly on several quilts as if he was holding some treasure.

The face blackened by the fireworks was as resolute as a sculpture, but the eyes looking at the little boy in his arms were extremely gentle, which was a relief after rejoicing. The other policemen and the crowd standing nearby all wiped their eyes and cried like children.

"This is me? Why does it look like he's dead?" Chen Shu pointed to his nose with his right hand and asked in surprise.

"It's not over yet!"

Zhang Yang bounced to the door, and asked Xiao Zhao, who was holding the painting, to move a little further into the ward, then took it from the door and walked in holding a gold banner with red letters on it.

There are only two big red letters on the pennant, as if it was cast with blood.

Only two words, not many.

But loudly.

——

"hero."
