Heart fire

A very nice person.

This is the first time Zhou Tong has heard others comment on Zhou Yi like this.

When they were young, whether it was neighbors in the neighborhood or Yao Hongwei's comrades in arms, the impression Zhou Yi left on them was "very sensible and capable", "very thoughtful", "just like old Zhou", and few people were so straightforward. Praise him in vain for being a good boy.

Is he not good?he's good.His academic performance is not outstanding, but he has always been above average. Taking care of his grandma and younger brother is hard work, but he doesn't like to joke or get close to others. It is said that Lao Zhou picked up a filial son for nothing, which is more cost-effective than marrying a wife.

Zhou Tong can't remember many things.

I can’t remember the feeling of suffocation when my lips were blue and purple from the cold, my hands and feet were soaked white and wrinkled, and my mouth, nose, and chest were choked with water. Helplessness, and the moment when someone was fished out of the water with strong arms and carried on his shoulders, a large swath of camouflage flooded into his sight. However, for Zhou Yi, these are not only lingering shadows but also the starting point of a new life .Since then, he has no extra time to be a carefree "good boy". He is eager to grow up quickly and become a man with strong arms and chest, who is qualified to wear The useful man in camouflage.

Even eager to use his life to prove that he can do it.

"Are you familiar with my brother?" Zhou Tong asked.If he hadn't considered that the other party was a woman, he would have asked her straight to the point, had you ever been in a relationship with Zhou Yi.

"It's okay." Sure enough, the girl was a little uncomfortable when asked, but she still patiently explained: "I used to go to various units with their squadron to do fire safety education and popularize the law. He is very patient and is very kind to his comrades. once......"

"Zhou Tong."

A gentle call interrupted the conversation between the two.Looking back, Xi Yang and Tu Ke were coming down the stairs side by side. Seeing Zhou Tong's earnest face and seeming very warm with the girl next to him, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"Brother Xi Yang!" Without waiting for Zhou Tong's reaction, the girl greeted Xi Yang with joy, and then pointed at Zhou Tong: "He is Zhou..."

"I know."

Xi Yang's expression was as calm as a frozen lake, ignoring the girl's swaying ponytail and enthusiasm, but looked at Du Wei at the side, and said calmly, "Let's go."

The girl didn't care too much when she hit a snag, as if she had already gotten used to his indifference, she stuck out her tongue at his back and made a grimace.Zhou Tong still wanted to talk more, but had to leave, so he had to say to her in a hurry: "Can you leave me a phone number? Tell me, I can remember."

The girl quickly reported a series of numbers: "WeChat is also this number."

"Zhou Tong!"

Xi Yang turned his head, his face was clearly displeased, and his volume was a little higher than usual.Tu Ke raised his eyebrows and interjected: "Calm down, Team Xi. Young people, only 19 years old, understand. Are you Duwei?"

"Ah?" Du Wei, who was not on the same channel, was suddenly called by the leader, with a bewildered expression on his face.

"..." Tu Ke looked at him speechlessly. "Learn a little bit. Why do people get something when they come here? How many times have you come and what have you seen?"

Du Wei has been thinking about other things. He didn't pay attention to the content of Zhou Tong's chat with the girl, and didn't understand what Tu Ke meant. The fire evacuation distribution of the office building is also memorized!"

Tu Ke: "..." Who gave you full confidence.

When she got the number, she turned around and ran. After two steps, she remembered that she still didn't know her name, but she didn't have time to ask.All the way from the office building to the parking lot, Xi Yang didn't speak any more, Zhou Tong followed behind with inexplicable guilt, only Tu Ke made fun of Du Wei, obviously he didn't make any mistakes.

Zhou Tong drove very steadily.Tu Ke was very satisfied, and asked him on the way: "How about letting you go to the driving class?"

Zhou Tong said modestly: "Thank you Tu team, I still want to stay in the intervention team."

"Huh?" Tu Ke was slightly surprised.After all, when many recruits go to the fire company, their first dream is to drive a fire truck, which is majestic and safe.

"The intervention team is so boring. Look at your instructors, you bear the brunt of it more than anyone else, and it's not thankless. You don't understand. It's good to be a driver. You can go out to refuel and run errands, and you can do your own things by the way. , such as a date with a girlfriend."

After speaking, he stretched his neck and looked back from the mirror: "Is that so, Duwei?"

Du Wei: "Huh?"

Tu Ke: "..." Is there anyone in this car who has the same brain waves as me?

Zhou Tong declined again after laughing: "Thank you Tu team. If the organization needs it, I will obey, but my personal wish is still on the front line. You and the trainer, Xiang team and everyone, as well as my father and brother, are all me. I will try my best to follow your example."

Tu Ke, the entire armed police firefighting system, from the headquarter to the subordinate squadrons, is notoriously difficult to deal with.Either he is ruthless, or he is not a good type. If others say something that he doesn't like, he immediately starts to mock and sarcasm.If he doesn't receive a good ideological education, he can't see others doing this, and what he calls slogans and expresses his position is all bullshit here.

But when he heard Zhou Tong's words, he didn't immediately retort.

Which 19-year-old boy is not hot-blooded, and he is not the kind of old fritters like Tao Xu who are at home in the officialdom, full of falsehoods.Zhou Tong's words and sentences are full of simplicity and sincerity, and his face looks more serious than when Tu Ke was eight years old when he said that he would be a commander in the future.

Who would have the heart to laugh at a child's dream.

Zhou Tong didn't expect to receive any affirmation and praise after he finished speaking, but the car was so quiet that only the sound of engine speed and gear shifting remained, which was still a bit embarrassing.At this time, Du Wei suddenly asked: "Can Si Qi come back?"

When the flashover happened, Du Wei panicked. If Zhang Siqi hadn't risked himself to block the falling partition for him, he should be the one lying in the hospital now.At that time, the situation was critical, and everyone's reactions and behaviors were based on instinct and muscle memory trained day after day, so they didn't have time to think too much, but after calming down, negative emotions such as fear, self-blame, and anxiety all came to the fore. It made him feel very uncomfortable.

Front-line firefighters are always in two states of survival: fighting and preparing to fight, even on rest days.The harsh battlefield environment can easily lead to a psychological crisis. If it is not handled properly, it will affect physiology, emotion, cognition and behavior, and the degree is far greater than the physical damage.Xi Yang, who had been silent all this time, finally said, "It depends on his recovery. Do you want to go and see him?"

"Hmm..." Du Wei replied hesitantly.

"Go ahead. Grandpa will approve your leave next weekend." Xi Yang made a rare joke, and the atmosphere in the car instantly eased.Tu Ke, who was sitting in the front row concentrating on playing with his mobile phone, immediately understood and agreed: "Go. You and me." He paused for a moment, glanced at Zhou Tong and Xi Yang, and counted silently. "It's just the four of us, let's go together, just to make up a round of ranking."

"I won't go." Xi Yang immediately refused. "This month's assessment report has not been completed yet."

"The trainer blatantly disobeyed the orders of his superiors. If word spreads, I will stop messing around in Beilin." Tu Ke pretended to be dissatisfied. "I can't invite you, but someone can invite you. The higher-ups require us to manage humanely and combine work and rest with proper entertainment. Team Xi always stays in the office, which is detrimental to physical and mental health. How can we set an example?"

Du Wei also echoed: "Go, instructor, I'll be more at ease with you in my heart..."

There was no sound again.Zhou Tong couldn't help observing Xi Yang from the rearview mirror.

At noon, the sun was scorching hot, and the sun shone on his fluffy hair and half of his handsome face, causing him to squint his eyes slightly.The golden halo made his outline softer than usual, his pupils were shallow and bright, and occasionally his lips turned pale when he pursed his lips, and when he let go, the blood spread again little by little until his lips returned to red.

Outside the car window is the alluring sunlight.Between gold and blood is the third stunning color.

...

Back in the team just in time for lunch.I didn't see any family members who were waiting to thank me.After getting out of the car, Tuke left on his own, Xi Yang called Zhou Tong: "Come to the office to find me after dinner."

I didn't see Wen Yue in the cafeteria, but after asking, I found out that he was injured during training in the morning and was in the medical office.Zhou Tong wolfed down the rice, left the bananas and yogurt in his pocket, put away the plates and hurried to the office building, and as soon as he entered the infirmary, he saw Wen Yue with gauze wrapped around his knees, his face was pale and his clothes were drenched sweatshirt and training shorts, struggling to put shoes on his feet.

"What happened?" Zhou Tong walked towards him, took out the things in his pocket and threw them into his arms, urging him to eat quickly, and squatted beside the bed to help him put on his shoes. "Are you hungry? Let's fill up first."

"I ran 5000 meters in the morning, and I also did ironman firefighting training. It was too difficult, and I couldn't keep up. Later, when I was climbing the ladder, I felt dizzy and fell down." Wen Yue took a big bite out of a banana peel, while He muttered while chewing: "It doesn't matter, the protective clothing is thick, just scratch the skin."

"Have you suffered from heat stroke?" Zhou Tong glanced at the injury on his knee, tied up his shoelaces and stood up, and saw that the back of his hand holding the banana was covered with adhesive tape. "Infusion?"

"Ah, glucose." Wen Yue quickly changed hands. "I asked the teacher. It's not that serious. It's time to be laughed at."

The young master is still thin-skinned to save face, but no one can persuade others to persuade him to choose the path he chooses. Zhou Tong said with a smile: "This is the nickname of Team Shangxiang? The infiltration is fast enough."

"I won't laugh at you." Seeing that he was about to get out of bed, Zhou Tong reached out to help him but was pushed away by him, so he could only let him hold on: "I have never practiced before. The intensity is so great when I come up. Anyone who changes it will suffer." No. Let’s go, the minced pork with capers and beans will be gone anytime later, Ye Zheng has already refilled the dishes for the third time when I leave.”

Ye Zheng is also a member of the intervention team.Hearing this, Wen Yue hurriedly took two steps outside, then turned back and called Zhou Tong: "Hurry up, hurry up, give me a back, and sprint with a heavy load."

...

Zhou Tong couldn't understand why Wen Yue, a riverside man, was so keen on eating hot and sour food.After lunch, it was a break time, and there was business theory study in the afternoon. Zhou Tong sent Wen Yue to the dormitory and then rushed back to the office building. He found Xi Yang's office. After confirming that the hem of his clothes had been tucked in, he straightened his chest and took a deep breath: " Report!"

Xi Yang was writing the summary, staring at the computer screen intently: "Please come in."

Zhou Tong pushed open the half-covered door and strode to the table. This time he finally remembered, and saluted formally first.

"Sit down." Xi Yang stopped what he was doing and turned to Zhou Tong: "I came here to talk to you, what do you think after enlisting in the army? Do you plan to continue taking the diploma?"

The temperaments of Xi Yang and Tu Ke are one above the other.Tu Ke doesn't know much, but just looking at the hardware is enough to scare people, not to mention his own ability and qualifications, so everyone is afraid of him.Xi Yang is very gentle, his tone is flat at all times, but he is also soft and strong, not angry and majestic.

While imagining him getting angry, Zhou Tong replied honestly: "I haven't thought it through yet."

The instructor sat upright, crossed his fingers in front of him, and said indifferently: "I have seen your grades, it is a pity to give up halfway. You can apply for correspondence courses at the original school, or self-study professional courses, and the state will subsidize the tuition fees."

"Well, I read the policy before I came here." Zhou Tong nodded. "But I want to think about it again."

"What are you thinking about?" Xi Yang frowned slightly.

I want to try military school.

Zhou Tong was embarrassed to say it.

"I just... want to be a fireman."

Xi Yang pursed his lips unconsciously, and pondered for a moment: "This is not only a special service, but also a training institution specially designed for the cultivation of backbones. The distribution will be rationally used according to each person's situation. A talented student like you should do some theoretical experiments. It is not necessary to be on the front line to give full play to the strengths in physics, it is also to shine for the cause of firefighting."

Zhou Tong savored the meaning of what he said, and was suddenly a little puzzled.The trainer is... mobilizing my thoughts?Or persuasion?

"Physics..." He lowered his eyes and thought for a while. "Physical fire extinguishing... that is, those principles, cooling, suffocation, suppression... nothing special."

Xi Yang picked out two books from a stack of books on the table and handed them to Zhou Tong: "Firefighting is not just physical work, it depends to a large extent on rigorous combat plans and theoretical knowledge, as well as science, which is worth studying. "

Zhou Tong looked down at the two books in his hand, one was "Fire Training Professional Experiment" and the other was "Analysis of Combustion Performance of Materials". : "Instructor! This, this is Wenyue's major! Let him do research!"

Xi Yang: "..."

The assembly bell for the end of the lunch break happened to ring outside the window.Xi Yang rubbed the center of his brows, and said helplessly, "Go to training first, we'll talk about it later."

Zhou Tong got up and put the chair back to its original position, but was stopped by the instructor when he was about to turn around and leave.

"Help me pay attention to Duwei, and if you find something wrong, tell me in time."
