This bald world [Transmigration Book]

In a twinkling of an eye, it will be the end of December, and three or two days before New Year's Day, Xiang Fei didn't want to review his homework on Saturday afternoon, so he rode his bicycle and went out to relax. He has been studying too hard for a while, and has not had any activities for a long time. He rides alone Running around in the car, did not bring the satellite river.

It's already winter in December, and the ground on both sides of the road is covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves. Even if sanitation workers clean them every day, they still can't keep up with the speed of the falling leaves. Xiang Fei rode his bicycle carefully and slowly on the fallen leaves , not so smooth, but he felt so relaxed.

The phone call from Xingxinghe finally came, probably because Xiang Fei ran out to play without him, so his tone was very capricious. Xiang Fei was patient here, and he had to wear him down to tell him his address and location. OK.

After hanging up the phone and knowing that the person on the other side had already rushed over, Xiang Fei sighed. Looking at it this way, he would not have much free time after all. Wei Xinghe's clinging ability is too strong.

After he hung up the phone, he parked his car beside the bridge railing beside the moat. He sat on the side of the road and propped his chin to look at the setting sun in the distance. The sun in the evening had no temperature, but he liked to sit alone like this and watch the setting sun. No one passed by, as if he was the only one left in the world at this moment, and time slowed down.

Later, when Xingxinghe came, they rode home together. Xiao Xia stewed creamy mushroom soup at night. Xiang Fei liked the taste quite a bit, and could drink three bowls at a time.

He was in a daze, when he suddenly heard someone shouting on the sidewalk under the bridge. The voice sounded horrified and desperate. Xiang Fei was interrupted from thinking wildly. He stood up curiously and leaned on the bridge railing to look down. Someone was struggling, and there was an old lady on the shore helplessly lying on the side of the guardrail and stretching out her hand, trying to grab some.

No one passed by, Xiang Fei recognized that the person in the river was a child, and he didn't have time to consider the pros and cons, or he didn't have the interest to think about these questions at all, and his body had already answered it first.

Jumping over the guardrail from the bridge and falling into the river, Xiang Fei's first reaction was to be shivered by the cold river water. Thanks to his good physical fitness, he couldn't hold it with another person.

He glanced at the child's direction, buried his head in the water and swam to her quickly, strangled the child's neck from behind and let the bank drag him. In just a few minutes, he fished the little girl to the river. Turned back from the guardrail again, and put the child down on the human-shaped aisle to lie down.

The little girl did not fall into the water for a long time, and the amount of water she inhaled was not much. After Xiang Fei simply took the first aid measures, she woke up. Fei thanked him, obviously he was scared out of his wits.

Xiang Fei glanced at the sun that was about to set, and quickly stopped the old lady who was still excited to thank her, and asked her to take the child home quickly. Later, it will be dark and windy and easy to catch cold, so the old lady is very grateful He helped his granddaughter up and put on her own clothes, and walked home step by step.

Seeing them go far away, Xiang Fei sat down on the roadside steps, staring at the deep and calm river without making a sound for a long time.

When he was on the bridge just now, why did he jump off so resolutely and desperately?Looking at it this way, the bridge is actually quite high, let alone whether it can save people by jumping directly like this, if the posture of entering the water is wrong, there may be a concussion.Besides, although the weather is not below zero, the water temperature is much lower than the air temperature. Even he feels that he can still feel the fear that his bones are frozen at this moment when he is drenched all over.

It takes a lot of courage to go into the water to save people in such weather.

Xiang Fei sat on the steps and looked at the river numbly. The last rays of the setting sun finally dissipated in the sky, and the cold wind began to blow. Nothing unusual came out.

"Xiao Fei!"

Xingxing River finally arrived. He couldn't find anyone on the bridge and was anxious. He saw him sitting by the river under the bridge at a glance, so he hurried over, "Why are your clothes all wet? Did you go swimming!?"

He hurriedly took off his woolen coat and put it on Xiang Fei, then put his hands in his arms to cover his hands, and said very worriedly: "Follow me to the car, Ah Rou drove the car down, we Get in the car first, okay? You'll catch a cold if you do this."

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Xiang Fei seemed to have finally come to his senses, turned his head and saw Wei Xinghe's beautiful face, smiled slightly, reached out to pick him up and sat down together, "Sit with me for a while."

Seeing that there was something wrong with his expression, Xinghe sat obediently with him by the river, turned around and gave Ah Rou a sneaky look, telling him to get out of the car and take off the blankets.

"I rescued a little girl here just now. She fell into the water accidentally. Fortunately, I rescued it in time. She is fine."

Wei Xinghe frowned and was dissatisfied: "Can't you call the police in such a cold day? What if something happens to you? You know, people who fall into the water sometimes drown the rescuers out of instinct."

"Of course I know." Xiang Fei shook his head, with a wry smile on his face, "But at that time, there was no time to call the police. When the police car arrived, everyone would be cold."

"That's not okay, you are so important to me, what should I do if something happens?" Wei Xinghe was still unhappy.

Ah Rou also brought a few blankets at this time, and covered the two of them thoughtfully, Xiang Fei could feel some warmth on his body at this time, the sky was getting darker and darker, he let out a long breath,

"That's what I was thinking at the time."

"I had the same thought as you that day when I watched my dad's body being rolled out covered in a white cloth."

"Why do you have to save it? Knowing that his body is not as good as before, knowing that it is not his obligation, he is just passing by, and it is time to get off work, so he just needs to call someone for help, why go into the water desperately?" ?”

Wei Xinghe froze for a moment, then realized that Xiaofei thought of his father again.

"So, your father died because he saved someone?"

Xiang Fei responded softly, "That day, he had already got off work, and it was also the weather that had just entered the winter. He was going to the vegetable market to buy vegetables and go home for dinner, but the vegetables were placed on the side of the road, but they were no longer there. It didn't get picked up, and I didn't end up getting that meal."

Xiang Fei's voice was a little ethereal. He looked at the river and continued, "You know, the river is really cold, so cold. I didn't know how painful it was when my father died. A little light in the river is so cold. No, it was too dark to see clearly, he saved three people, but he didn't come up."

"It was dark at the time, and the rescue team didn't find his body. It was only found downstream early the next morning, and his body was frozen stiff."

Xiang Fei shivered for a while, as if he still had lingering fears: "I didn't understand at that time, I wished I could pull him up and ask him why he did such a thing beyond his power, why didn't he consider my feelings, am I not more than anyone else?" Do people matter?"

"At that time, my sky was really falling. My mother had only been away for a year or two, and then he disappeared. I became an orphan. In such a big city, I didn't even have a family member."

"I dreamed of him, and I was still asking why he went into the water that day. I used to think that he was impersonal, he only had other people in his heart, and he would never have my mother and me. It seemed that anyone on the side of the road could make him desperate. more important than me."

"But."

"But when I saw the little girl who fell into the water just now, I didn't think much about anything. I just chose this out of instinct. Even if it might end up afterwards, I didn't think about it at all. Pass."

"I now understand that sometimes it's not that people can't do pros and cons analysis, it's not that they don't love their families, but... their instincts make them do this, and there is no trade-off of consequences at all, because this is something engraved in their bones, which is Be the conscience of a man of integrity and kindness."

Xiang Fei raised his hand and wiped his face, rubbed his eyes and said in a low voice: "When my father was alive, many people respected him, and there was not a single case he handled that was inappropriate. He used to be on the front line He was even more desperate. He always told me that he was proud of his profession, that he was worthy of the badge on his shoulders, that he did not fail the country, and that he did not fail the military cap on his head."

"But I didn't understand at that time. I thought he was ruthless and didn't love me and my mother. Now I understand that it's not that he doesn't love, but that the responsibility on his shoulders is heavier."

When Xiang Fei said this, he finally couldn't help crying loudly. This was the first time he cried like this.At that time, when his father's old colleagues from his work unit shed tears to comfort him at his father's funeral, and when the rescued families sent a pennant of "be brave for justice", he never shed tears, but remained expressionless. Staring at the pennant.

What is the use of pennants?Apart from giving people a hypocritical title of praise, it can't bring anything substantial, at least his father's life can't be turned back, Xiang Fei is not uncommon.

But now, after a few years, Xiang Fei finally cried out by the dark river.

"Do you know, the water is really too cold... My dad once had a gunshot wound on his leg, and it hurts every time it rains on a cloudy day. At that time, soaking in the water overnight must have hurt too." .”

Xiang Fei was crying out of breath, like a helpless child, he tightly grasped Xingxinghe's hand: "I don't want that bullshit pennant of being brave, I just want him to stay at home That said, I haven’t had a good talk with him yet, and he also said that he would take me to Tibet for a walk after my senior high school entrance examination, but he never came back.”

"I actually... miss him very much..."

Xiang Fei's tears fell on Wei Xinghe's hands, and his whole body seemed to be like a balloon that had been punctured.

Weixinghe's eyes were slightly hot, he stretched out his arms to hug Xiang Fei, let him lean into his arms, and said softly: "It's okay, you still have me, I'll be with you."

Xiang Fei leaned against him, feeling his body temperature through his clothes, and shed tears silently.

He thought of his father's back before he left the door that day, his slightly limping right leg, just disappeared into the sun.

He remembered that when he was seven years old and in the first grade of elementary school, the teacher asked all the students in the class what they wanted to grow up in the future. He stood up proudly and said that he would be an excellent policeman like his father, arresting bad guys and protecting the weak. , he wants to be as great as his father.

The ideal at that time was real.

Now, it's also true.

This is inheritance, the blood flowing in his bones is the continuation of his father.
