Heart fire

The work and rest time in summer is one and a half hours later than in winter.The night came late, the wind was clear and the cicadas were singing, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The boys all lifted up their T-shirts and vests, rolled up their trousers, revealing their strong abdominal muscles and calves. The field was full of hearty laughter and youthful hormonal breath.

Looking at the same childish faces not much older than himself, thinking that this tranquility and serenity are guarded by them with their youth and best years, Zhou Tong is in it, and suddenly has a sense of belonging that he has not seen for a long time. And full of pride.

"What are you talking about?" Xi Yang suddenly appeared behind everyone, wearing a pure white T-shirt and sports shorts, his young face was as clear as the moonlight, holding half a watermelon in his arms, followed by a puff of watermelon. Refreshing body wash scent.

It's rare to see him out.Probably also infected by this gentle night, Zhou Tong guessed.

There seemed to be a little more chill in the air.

As soon as Wen Yue saw him, he got up and ran away: "Hello instructor! You talk, I'm going back to our class."

Seeing his back as he limped away, Xi Yang sat down in his vacant seat and asked Zhou Tong, "Is his leg okay?"

"It's okay." Zhou Tongsheng was afraid that Wenyue would be underestimated, so he hurriedly got 300 taels of silver here: "He's just a little softer, probably because of the guzheng in elementary school, but he's not squeamish at all, and he's a good swimmer. It's very good, it's called 'Langli Baitiao'..."

"It's quite white." Xi Yang smiled slightly. "Did you grow up together?"

Zhou Tong realized that he might be a little exaggerated, and scratched his head embarrassedly: "That's not true... I only met in college."

Wu Wei interjected: "The children who grew up by the river are not good at water."

Now Zhou Tong is even more embarrassed.But Xi Yang said: "It's very good. We can let him show off his talents when we have a party at the end of the year."

"Ah?" Zhou Tong was taken aback. "Gala...show swimming?"

"Guzheng!" Wu Wei slapped him on the head wildly: "Why are you so stupid?"

Zhou Tong peeked at the trainer while avoiding Wu Wei's slap, and found that there seemed to be a smile on the corner of his mouth, and suddenly felt that being able to make him laugh was a particularly fulfilling and joyful thing, and he became stupid and changed because of this. A little slow, it doesn't seem to matter.

After all... so far, I haven't seen him being laughed at by others.

Zhou Tong kept looking at his phone before the lights were turned off.Added WeChat to say hello, but before I had time to ask any more questions, the girl named Zhuo Qunfang from the Propaganda Department of the headquarter stopped replying to the message, and the last sentence of the conversation was still five hours ago. Zhou Tong asked her: "Do you still have any questions?" There is no contact information of my brother's other comrades in arms."

The lower berth made a rustling sound from time to time, and Duwei was still asleep.His mood was not high tonight, and everyone went to wash up early while eating watermelon.The eight people in the room, except him and Zhou Tong, were already snoring, and it was inconvenient to say anything. Zhou Tong turned over and lay down on the bed, took out "A Brief History of Time" under the pillow, and found the suicide note , and watched it again with the light of the phone screen.

"Knee injuries will hurt..." he said silently in his heart.Injured?

Zhou Tong instantly thought of Wen Yue's knee wrapped in gauze.

Is it a comrade in arms?But there are no female soldiers in firefighting.Could it be from another army?Or a medic?hygienist?

With doubts, he continued to look down while thinking.

"I've never loved so much...wanted to sing for you...dance for you..."

When seeing this sentence, Zhou Tong couldn't help but picture "her" in his mind.

Zhou Tong has also received a lot of love letters, but he has never written such a warm and humble one. People he has contacted, such as Yu Di, ask if he likes it, and don’t take a second look if he doesn’t like it. Emotions are all in the fast and efficient way of modern people.

As for Zhou Yi's "prospective girlfriend" who wrote this letter, what should he call "her"?sister in law?Or sister?In short, "she" must be very obedient, sweet, enthusiastic, innocent and caring, not only delicate and sensitive, romantic and affectionate, but also gentle and considerate, good at singing and dancing......

Wait... good at dancing?Doesn't it make sense to have a knee injury?Zhou Tong fell asleep immediately, put the suicide note back into the book, opened WeChat again and clicked into Zhuo Qunfang's circle of friends to see if she had posted anything related to dancing.

The life of the female soldiers who took off their military uniforms is as colorful as other ordinary girls.Shopping, shopping, posting food, occasionally posting small complaints, and taking selfies with filters and stickers, together with the little sisters, check in every corner of the city as a souvenir.Zhou Tong flipped through it for a long time until his eyes were sour and tears flowed wildly, but he didn't see anything related to dancing or Zhou Yi.

There are too many, just turned to last year's record, Zhou Tong fell asleep unknowingly.

...

Good dreams are accompanied by a good night's sleep, and the wake-up bell is no longer so alarming. When you open your eyes, it is a new day.

The life and training of special services are not as boring as the recruit company, but the tasks are more arduous, and the schedule is full in a day.

The same is the procedure of waking up, morning exercises, tidying up housework, and eating breakfast, followed by the main course content, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, interspersed with physical fitness, business, technical training and theoretical study.As a training and output organization, the configuration of the brigade is comparable to that of a large fitness center. Not only are professional coaches come to the team every week for guidance, but three meals a day also have nutritionally balanced dietary standards.

The physical training before dinner has been reduced to three times a week, and there are two hours of free time after the meal. You can make calls and play games, but everyone’s mobile phone has been submitted to the report on the first day of arrival, and there are not many softwares. , the trainer will check regularly.

In addition to several squadrons and intervention teams, the team also has a logistics team including driving squads, cooking squads, medical staff and finance.

Chief Secretary He Lei is younger than Lao Fang, and he is also a simple and honest veteran. After getting along for a period of time, Zhou Tong gradually got to know everyone, and found that the atmosphere here is really good, and the relationship between comrades is also very close. Disagreement and disunity.

Tu Ke didn't come from a firefighting background, and his business and theory are not as good as Xi Yang's, but he is really good at leading soldiers, and he acts decisively and resolutely. It's a good hand to pick up a list.

Among all the training programs, only fighting is taught by him personally. Everyone thinks it is his hobby, but few people know that he has won the National Political and Legal Police Boxing League Championship for several times, and he is also very strong in Sanda.

The cadres also have various business assessments every month. Except for handling important affairs, they train with the team members at other times.On Friday, the team received three reporters from Beilin Daily, two men and one woman, who were waiting on the training ground early in the morning with cameras on their backs, preparing to experience the daily life of firefighters for themselves.

In order to cooperate with the interview, Xiang Yu made an exercise plan one day in advance.As soon as the alarm bell rang, all the team members assembled within 30 seconds and put on a complete set of protective equipment.Zhou Tong and Wen Yue practiced countless times during the break time, and now they can stand with everyone and watch a few reporters frantically put on clothes like they did when they first arrived.

8 kilograms of fire-fighting protective clothing, [-] kilograms of backpack air breathing apparatus, [-] kilograms of insulated boots, plus helmets, gloves, belts, fire axes, lights, rescue devices, lifelines, etc. There are [-] or [-] pieces in the series Zero and Zero, and it took the three of them nearly [-] minutes to put them on.

It's just that I can't stand upright and can't walk, let alone two [-]-kilogram hoses, [-]-kilogram toothless saws and [-]-kilogram hydraulic pliers.

According to strict regulations, a firefighter must have all these things before entering the fire scene.

In the north, the rainfall has dropped sharply after entering July, the temperature in the morning is close to [-] degrees Celsius, and the ground temperature is as high as [-] degrees Celsius.Zhou Tong was used to the feeling of being soaked in boiling water, and he never frowned.

He secretly looked at Xi Yang who was leading the team from the corner of his eyes.Under the mask, strands of his black hair were stuck to his temples, even his eyelashes were wet, and the sunlight shone with crystal light spots, refracting almost imperceptible colors.

The reporter wanted to interview him, but he waved his hand to indicate that it was inconvenient, so the camera and recording pen turned to Zhou Tong.The female reporter was so hot that she couldn't breathe: "Can you tell me how you feel now?"

Zhou Tong looked at Xi Yang again, and Xi Yang blinked slightly at him.

"I'm now..." Zhou Tong paused. "I feel cooler outside now than in my clothes."

Everyone laughed after he finished speaking.The female reporter asked again: "You usually train like this, do you have to wear a full set of equipment?"

Zhou Tong nodded: "Yes. The real temperature of the fire scene may be dozens of times higher than it is now, and this is also to better protect myself."

The female reporter still wanted to ask, but after hearing Xiang Yu's order, the drill began.

A simulated real-life fire scene has been set up in the middle of the training ground, and all team members are divided into groups of four for operational training.When it was the intervention team's turn, under the cover of Ye Zheng and Du Wei's water guns, Zhou Tong, who led the team, began to break down the first door with a toothless saw.

The sound of metal being cut was sharp and piercing, and the splashing sparks "cracked" on the protective mask, which was immediately extinguished by the jet of water.After the demolition was successful, the four people carried water guns and hoses to climb up the baffle, passed through the narrow flue, and found two "injured" at the door of No. [-] passage, and first carried "them" out of the original path on a stretcher. , and then turned back again, passed through the No. [-] passage, and extinguished the "fire" at the exit.

During the whole operation, the reporters were trying their best to follow up with the filming.The female reporter kept exclaiming while watching.

"So handsome!"

"They are really handsome!"

...

The six squadrons took turns to operate, and the time passed quickly, and finally it was the reporter's experience session.

From the start, however, they encountered difficulties.First, he didn’t know how to operate a toothless saw, and then he was stuck with various equipment, unable to move forward smoothly, so he had to remove the equipment and tools on his body with the help of the deputy team, and crawled bit by bit. I had to stop the experience because I couldn't lift the [-]kg dummy.After the trip, the three reporters were covered in mud and almost collapsed. They slumped on the ground and doubted their lives while drinking water.

The following 15-meter ladder training has a high risk factor, and the reporter did not participate.Zhou Tong, who was carrying a weight of 22 kilograms, used all his upper body strength to throw the ladder out, hung it firmly on the window, and then quickly climbed up. It took only [-] seconds to climb to the fourth floor and jumped into the window perfectly.

As long as there is more or less step, the final leap cannot be completed. Zhou Tong has been practicing almost all week.Wu Wei, who came up earlier, said in disbelief: "It's awesome, it's two seconds faster than Zhang Siqi."

Is it the first?Zhou Tong, who was so hot that he was about to lose consciousness, couldn't take a break, so he hurriedly looked at the registration form in Xiang Yu's hand, searched it from bottom to top, and suddenly widened his eyes: "Master... 18 seconds?"

Xiang Yu didn't speak, and pointed to the upper column to show him.

Xi Yang: 17.26s

Zhou Tong: "..."

The last part of the exercise is to climb the stairs with weight.The training towers of general squadrons are about ten floors high, but the secret service actually has twenty floors.The No. [-] squadron started first, and Zhou Tong couldn't tell which one was Wen Yue because they were too far away, so he could only cheer for him silently in his heart while worrying about his legs.

Nowadays, houses are built higher and higher, and in the event of a fire, the only escape route is the fire escape.Every piece of physical training, every drop of sweat is aimed at reaching any height at the fastest speed in the shortest time, to rescue the trapped people, and to extinguish the fire from the inside.Every step they run, people are closer to the hope of survival.

As soon as Zouxixie climbed to the fifth floor, several reporters couldn't bear it any longer. They threw down their hoses and air bottles one after another, sat down and never wanted to get up again.Zhou Tong passed by them, heard them shouting "Come on" and "Great", gritted his teeth and repeated to himself what Xiang team said every day.

Faster, faster, faster!

When I reached the 17th floor, my lungs were on fire, my breathing couldn't keep up with the rhythm, my legs were trembling constantly, and my body was pressed by the air bottle and I couldn't stand up straight. But just think of Zhou Yi who is 1 years old and can bear [-] kilograms , It took only one minute to climb ten floors, but Zhou Jian said that being an excellent firefighter was nothing at all, an invisible force supported Zhou Tong to lift his legs again and again, and continued to run upwards without stopping for a moment .

Brother, wait for me in front, I will, I will try my best to catch up with you.
