Heart fire

Zhou Tong rushed to Xi Yang, first knelt down and hugged him vigorously, then took off a glove, wiped off the mud on his mask with his palm and thumb, and repeated this action continuously and in vain, as if Wanting to wipe away those silent tears that broke his heart and were blocked by the mask.

He seemed to really feel the real Xi Yang at this moment, a boy who stayed at the age of seventeen or eighteen, would cry and be afraid, and would be moved and sad for life and death.

"Zhou Tong." Xi Yang murmured in his arms, his voice mixed with the rhythmic release of the respirator, with a powerless calm. "I made a mistake again. If I stick to my own ideas, maybe I can save him."

There were hurried and chaotic footsteps all around, Zhou Tong looked up at Xi Yang's side, a soldier was taking off Zheng Jiang's coat, covering his face and upper body.

"It's not your fault." Zhou Tong could guess what Xi Yang was talking about just by the shape of his mouth. He sighed silently and stroked Xi Yang's back. "Instructor, you can't do this."

Hearing the endless "reproach" behind him, the person in his arms moved, as if he was puzzled but didn't ask a question.So Zhou Tong went on to say: "When you guide others, you are so clear-headed, but you become confused when you are yourself. Is it true that teachers and leaders have this problem? We need to change it."

"It's not your fault." After a few reproaches, Zhou Tong accepted it as soon as he saw it, and emphasized it again solemnly. "It was disaster itself that caused all this, remember? That's what you taught me, too."

"Don't think about it, this ending may be the best and most honorable for Vice Team Zheng."

Physiological tears poured out of the eyes unconsciously during the rescue process and wet the cheeks.Spending time being sad is a luxury and useless for firefighters, a short moment is enough to release emotions, Xi Yang blinked vigorously, straightened up from Zhou Tong's arms, looked at the time, and made several gestures to him while talking.

"I'm fine, don't worry, the task hasn't been completed yet, you should recite Deputy Team Zheng first."

After finishing speaking, he turned around to get the flashlight thrown on the ground, but Zhou Tong grabbed his wrist and held it in the air.

Flipping to borrow strength, Zhou Tong got up and passed him, picked up the flashlight and asked him: "Is the toolbox in there?" Without waiting for an answer, he pointed at him and gestured and said: "Give me the anti-virus clothing, stay still, I will go. "

Xi Yang was stunned for a moment, and unexpectedly rejected Zhou Tong, but before he had time to emphasize the reason, Zhou Tong waved for the newly assigned engineer, and showed a rather tough attitude in front of dozens of teammates: "The current team of Xi The state is not suitable for re-entering, the early attacking group withdraws to rest, the second group makes up, engineer...Liu Gong, right? Come with me to close the valve."

A qualified command image must be serious, powerful, firm, and direct. He must be present at the scene and ensure unity. For a while, Yang couldn't tell how many people were on him, Tu Ke, Xiang Yu, himself, Yao Hongwei, and even Zheng Jiang.

There is no doubt that Zhou Tong is holding a chicken feather as an arrow and making his own decisions, but at this time, facing Zheng Jiang's sacrifice, what everyone needs is his calm and steady strength.

"Roger that!"

Dealing with the ammonia leak requires too much experience and technology. No matter how much Xi Yang trusts Zhou Tong, he can't just let him perform this task irresponsibly.

Regarding Xi Yang's concerns, Zhou Tong neither argued nor backed down, but took off his protective clothing by himself, put it on himself, and persuaded him with reasons that he could not refute.

"Twenty of the 36 pipelines are ammonia-related pipelines. There are two pipelines leading to the freezer with a diameter of 210 millimeters, six pipelines leading to the tunnel with a diameter of 150 millimeters, and 57 and 67 millimeters leading to the ice machine. Six millimeters each, leading to the upper part of the buffer room, about three to four meters above the ground, and two diameters of 76 millimeters."

"In addition, there are six water pipes, six air supply pipes, and six air return pipes. The air supply pipes and air return pipes are all liquid ammonia and ammonia gas."

"The water pipes are sky blue, the high-pressure storage barrels and ammonia tanks are yellow, the condenser is silver-white, the compressor and other auxiliary equipment are silver-gray or light gray..."

"Close the upstream first and then the downstream. If there is excessive pressure relief, close the nearest fire escape valve first. If the pipeline between the container wall or the near-end valve is damaged, use external seals or magnetic pressure tools to plug small cracks. Wooden wedges, clamps, or plugging guns."

"Instructor, if you follow closely, you can memorize and learn a lot. Give me a chance to practice."

"5 minutes." Before Xi Yang could react in time and was stunned, Zhou Tong had already put on the protective clothing, zipped it up and returned the lost recording bear to him, and imitated what he had done to himself He touched his head through the glove and helmet as he had done.

"You knew I was going to be first, didn't you?"

"Wait for me for 5 minutes, it will be invalid if it is one second late, and I will come back to claim my reward."

...

At [-]:[-] p.m., the valves of high-pressure equipment, refrigeration circulation system, liquid ammonia storage tanks and pipelines were all closed, and the residual ammonia gas in the cold storage, machine room and equipment room was diluted with water and gradually released.Under the strong attack from inside and outside, the fire has stopped spreading. After the third hole was opened, no abnormalities were found. The headquarters decided to stop the demolition and ordered other positions to remain unchanged until [-]:[-]. The fire was completely extinguished. The threat to the main body of the factory is basically lifted.

After the fire was extinguished, in order to prevent re-ignition, the headquarters ordered all forces to monitor on the spot for three to 10 minutes. At the same time, three teams were dispatched with special service equipment to inspect the ammonia pipeline and the main workshop again, and stripped and blocked combustible materials.

Considering that the personnel in the early stage were tired from fighting for a long time, the dispatch center mobilized several teams to take over the monitoring site to ensure that the detachment and special services quickly resumed their readiness.

After nearly seven hours of hard work, the fire was finally controlled and eliminated within a range of 200 square meters, more than 1.9 employees were safely evacuated, and the frozen beverage production line worth [-] million yuan was protected.

Including the three soldiers rescued by Zhou Tong, the intervention team successfully rescued a total of [-] lost and injured firefighters throughout the accident, and no one died except Zheng Jiang.

When he saw Yao Hongwei who was guarding the entrance of the demolition regardless of his identity, Zhou Tong was holding Xi Yang with one hand, and carrying Zheng Jiang's body on his back across the scorched earth and ruins.

After entering the winter, it got darker every day. The factory and many restaurants in the park offered to send boxes of water and trucks of steaming meals.The exhausted firefighters gulped down dates and filled their stomachs without any taste. Then they fell asleep leaning against the side of the fire truck one by one, wrapped in their dirty firefighting suits and pillowed on their helmets.

The workers spontaneously brought quilts, blankets and clothes from the dormitory. Although the quantity was far from enough, it was better for two people to cover each other than nothing.After reporting and dealing with the follow-up work, it was close to nine o'clock after settling down his team members. Tu Ke left without saying hello. Wen Yue made a phone call, and Comrade Wen Jinbao sent two carts full of snacks such as bread, chocolate, biscuits, etc. There are also hot water bottles and baby warmers. If he hadn't been ordered in a crisis, the old man would have used his connections to pack a five-star hotel suite with a big bed, kitchen and cook.

The street lights, car lights and emergency lights in the park were all on. On a windless night without snow, a few young men who were too excited to sleep were singing under the lights.Xi Yang followed the sound with a bag of snacks and found Zhou Tong who was squatting on the ground listening to the song near a decontamination truck.

On such a cold day, Zhou Tong actually took off the top of the fire extinguisher suit, and only wore overalls and a training T-shirt inside.Xi Yang walked over and rubbed his head, frowned and asked with some displeasure: "Why don't you wear a coat? Isn't it cold?"

Before he came, Zhou Tong was silently memorizing words and songs with his mouth open. When he heard that his tone was wrong, he immediately stood up and folded the tail that had just been touched as if admitting his mistake: "...Brother Wu Wei fell asleep. , he has a bit of a cold, I'm afraid..."

Xi Yang looked at him with his hands in his pockets, the corners of his eyes and brows, the bridge of his nose and his lips were filled with gentle light. He was tired but also attractive. Only his eyes could not tell if he was really angry, which reminded Zhou Tong of a few hours ago. , all kinds of ignorance of the sky and the earth, and the behavior of a little middle school, suddenly embarrassed and ashamed, the more I talked, the more I lost my confidence.

"Are you hungry?" Xi Yang was amused by his appearance, and couldn't bear to blame him no matter how serious he was, so he took his hand and put it in his pocket, letting him touch the contents inside. "That's all. If you're willing to make do with it, let's find a place for you to celebrate your birthday?"

soon?What is near future?Even if he stood in the middle of the road and drank the Northwest Wind with his mouth open, as long as Xi Yang was with him, Zhou Tong could drink until he burped three times.

There are people in almost every car along the way.Zhou Tong followed Xi Yang and stepped on his shadow, Xi Yang stopped and waited, but he refused to follow up and side by side, and said with a smile: "You go, I will accompany you when you enter the fire scene, and I like to follow you when you come out."

At the end, Du Wei jumped out of the empty equipment box at the rear of the fire truck after a full sleep, and greeted Xi Yang and Zhou Tong who were passing by: "Instructor, why are you going? Come in and warm up for a while?"

No matter how you look at it, the space can accommodate at most two people.Xi Yang was hesitating, but Du Wei seemed to understand immediately, and quickly added: "I've rested, and I'm going to take a walk around the detachment and play a few games with them."

The location where the fire truck is parked is remote, and there is little light to borrow.Zhou Tong turned on a flashlight and put it on the shelf above his head. He took the clothes and put them on. When Xi Yang asked him how he used to celebrate his birthday, he bent his legs and answered honestly, saying that his father and brother loved him very much. Every time there are cakes and gifts, it is very formal.

"It's my brother...he waits for my birthday to eat a bite of my cake, and it's over."

Since the relationship eased, both of them have tacitly avoided problems that would make each other feel at a loss, especially after going through a life and death, no one wants to destroy this calm and carefully maintained atmosphere.Zhou Tong didn't do it on purpose, but today is the first time he has lost his family. It's his 20th birthday. Missing his brother is instinctive and the simplest of human nature.

How could Xi Yang not understand.

The small snacks in the pocket were poured out in one go, scattered on the ground and legs.Zhou Tong and Xi Yang were picking and picking together under the faint light. Suddenly, he held up a bag of things to Xi Yang as if he had found a treasure, and exclaimed in surprise and delight: "Look! Biscuits!"

It's the kind they often eat, with a creamy lemon filling.Zhou Tong was as happy as a child, quickly tore it apart without thinking, broke off the outermost piece and bit it in his mouth, and gave the remaining part with cream to Xi Yang.

"It's almost like a cake with cream."

Xi Yang took the biscuit and didn't eat it, then turned to look at Zhou Tong: "Don't you want to make a wish?"

"There are no candles." Zhou Tong chewed the biscuits and wanted to drink water. "I don't have any wishes, just"

"Hush..." Xi Yang raised his hand suddenly, blocking back the second half of his unspoken sentence.

After thinking for a moment, he got up and jumped out of the fire engine, stopped Zhou Tong who was about to follow, and motioned him to go back: "Wait for me here for a while."

Zhou Tong didn't know what Xi Yang was going to do, he was a little reluctant to be left behind but he sat back in the car obediently, unexpectedly Xi Yang came back after taking two mouthfuls of unpacking the bag of chocolates, there was an extra bag in his empty hand A box of cigarettes and a lighter from the detachment leader.

"I'm 20 years old, do you want to have some bad habits of adults?" Xi Yang returned to Zhou Tong and sat down, bent his legs like him, shook the cigarette case in his hand at him, took out a cigarette, into his own lips.

Under the light of the flashlight, Zhou Tong tilted his head, looked at Xi Yang dully and obsessively, saw that little mole was highlighted by the blue filter tip and looked more sexy, saw his slender fingers gathered together to protect the fire, listened The rolling paper and tobacco made a unique burning sound when they were lit. He couldn't help rolling his Adam's apple and licking the corner of his mouth. He looked up and looked for his reddish eyes in the lingering smoke.

Although the movements are very skillful and the posture is very provocative, it is obvious that Xi Yang is not used to smoking. After taking a puff, he coughed and blushed, but Zhou Tong felt distressed and wanted to see him choke for a while longer. , or choke harder.

"Here." Xi Yang didn't have the time to notice Zhou Tong's weird little thoughts, turned over the cigarette in his hand, put the cigarette butt up, handed it to Zhou Tong, rubbed his eyes and said to him: "Blow it."

How to blow this?Thank you for being a firefighter.Zhou Tong wanted to laugh a little, this fire will only get bigger and bigger.

But he still lowered his head obediently, and blew lightly on a small piece of darkened ashes.

Flying soot and sparks make the night without snow and stars romantic, and make all the confusion go away, turning into fragments and disappearing in endless time and space.Time seemed to stop benevolently for a short time. Zhou Tong quietly made a wish in the gentle and pure eyes that shone into this cold and narrow corner: Please let me live for one more second, let this beam of light stay In my eyes, let me see everything.

The "candle" has been blown, the "cake" has been eaten, maybe it's possible, Xi Yang was a little embarrassed by Zhou Tong's look, and turned around to find a place to put out the smoke, but Zhou Tong snatched the smoke away.

"Come finish smoking with me." He put Xi Yang's wet filter into his mouth, completely like an arrogant and naughty boy, holding a cigarette in a stern manner, with his arms resting on his curled lips. On the knee, squinted his eyes and said vaguely: "If you don't know it, just call brother, I'll teach you."

A kid who has just turned 20 looks like an old-fashioned smoker when he smokes.Xi Yang was aroused by him to be playful, and was about to tease a few words, but suddenly he put one hand around the back of his head and hugged him in front of him.

The smoke is poured into the mouth along the cracks of the lips, spicy, stimulating, chaotic and tidal, from the throat straight to the lungs, and then to the brain, instantly releasing the addictive dopamine, and passing them to the endings of every nerve.

Arouse shameful passions.

Zhou Tong sealed Xi Yang's mouth as he wished, and seeing his red eyes filled with tears because he couldn't cough out, he suddenly felt that the tears were burning and intoxicating.

What is the feeling of being alive, those who pass by death want to experience it most.

Experience extreme pain and pleasure.

"Where's my reward?" Zhou Tong bit Xi Yang's lip and asked him seriously, not allowing him to refuse. "May I have a grown-up reward tonight? I want the strongest feeling of being alive."

Xi Yang pushed him hard, managed to get a little distance away from him, turned his head and looked around nervously, and finally surrendered to love and the most primitive impulse in his heart, allowing Zhou Tong to put his hand into his clothes and hold his belly, panting and begging He murmured in front of him: "Tongtong, close the car door first..."

"...It's...not convenient here, can you help me with your hands?"
