They were all reborn and became firefighters again?

Chapter 274 The Street after the Earthquake

After four hours of arduous rescue, Ma Xiaofeng came out.

Her coming out made the soldiers feel more relaxed.

The entire rescue process took at least 20 hours less than the original process.

Moreover, this girl is the most mature and sensible one. In the ruins, she asked Xue Xiao to sing "Yellow River Cantata" and popular songs, asking him to insist not to sleep.

In order to comfort everyone and my relatives, I refused the stretcher when I was still coming out and asked to go out on my own.

The figure that limped out of it told everyone with her deeds that there is hope with persistence and optimism.

These children are so sensible.

Losing their campus and shattering their childhood, they grew up in an instant.

The good news quickly spread throughout Hanwang under the deliberate dissemination of the headquarters.

Tan Qianqiu, Xue Xiao, Ma Xiaofeng...

In a small school of [-] people, among the [-] trapped people, there were so many people who inspired the national spirit.

Fang Huai, a firefighter who risked his own life to participate in several rescue operations, hoped to join the party. Through the report of Battalion Commander Liang, it reached the ears of the leaders of the headquarters.

...

Dinner time.

Fang Huai ignored Battalion Commander Liang's repeated dissuasion and asked him to rest. He still took Xiaobai and searched the ruins of the entire school again.

The People's Liberation Army with life detectors and the earthquake rescue team with three search and rescue dogs were also looking around.

A German Shepherd search and rescue dog named "Flying Tiger" stepped in front of a ruins and was scratched on his feet, but there was still no sign of life.

Some parents of children who had been rescued from the rubble came one after another, crying and shouting outside the cordon. Some parents who had not waited for their children here began to collapse even more emotionally.

Everyone can only slowly command the mechanized troops and enter the mechanically assisted search and rescue stage.

Mechanical intervention is very detrimental to the productive forces, but now that all means are exhausted, everyone can only discuss a plan: cut layer by layer, search layer by layer.

Fang Huai was commanding an excavator in front of the No. [-] ruins when he was suddenly photographed by Battalion Commander Liang.

"Go, the headquarters is calling you!"

Fang Huai turned around in shock.

"Command? How do you know me?"

Hanwang is one of the currently identified major disaster areas, and its headquarters has a very high level. It is far away from a small soldier like him.

Battalion Commander Liang shook the walkie-talkie in his hand and said:
"It's been more than twenty hours since we entered the venue. You came earlier, yesterday afternoon, right? You haven't rested since, and you only slept for a few minutes at noon?
I have no orders to move you, so I can only ask the headquarters to inform your leaders and order you to rest! "

Fang Huai froze for a moment.

"Battle Commander Liang! I'm taking a rest! Why do you ask the leader for such a trivial matter?"

"Okay, okay!" Battalion Commander Liang waved his hand: "You think it's a trivial matter, but when I look at you, I'm almost dying!
If you don’t take a break, your little one should take a break too, right?What they had for lunch today was food for our soldiers!Quickly lead it to the place where search and rescue dogs are provided, eat something, and rest! "

"It... is not a police dog. I can feed it with my own biscuits." Fang Huai looked confused.

"Why not?" Battalion Commander Liang put his hands on his hips and said loudly: "He saved people! He is! Moreover, he is a very good police dog! More than 200 of us have proved it to him!"

"Wang!"

Xiaobai had rarely opened his mouth since the afternoon.

People from the surrounding fire and earthquake rescue teams also looked over and said:

"Yes, Xiaobai is a police dog! He performed very well! Take him to rest quickly!"

"Oh!" Xiaobai raised his paw, dipped in some saliva, washed his face, and looked at a few "comrades" sitting on the ground, tilting his head again with some disdain.

People around him understood Xiaobai's pride and smiled a little, but at this sad rescue scene, it was hard for everyone to joke around.

Fang Huai sighed helplessly: "Okay, I'll go there now."

……

On the third day of the earthquake, smoke could already be seen in Hanwang.

There are colorful tents everywhere on the streets.

Masks were distributed to many people, and staff at every intersection reminded them to wear masks to prevent infectious diseases and the infection of the wounded.

A staff member saw him coming out of school, came up and handed him a new mask.

Buses on the road, even taxis, and some unclaimed cars with shattered windows have also become sleeping places. Some people have transformed them into beds and slept on them sideways.

He looked at people's expressions along the way, as if he were visiting a funeral parlor.

Some people accepted the reality quickly. They sat by the firewood set up on the road, eating and chatting, but there was sadness on their faces.

Some are immersed in sadness, and only their expressions can tell that they no longer care about the world.

At this time, people across the country are cheering for the disaster area, donating money and materials to spread warmth, but there is some sadness that cannot be warmed by money or materials.

On the roadside, a volunteer carrying a backpack and the police were trying to chat with a lonely old man, inviting him to eat together, trying to ease his mood. The old man kept saying "Thank you for your concern" with a smile on his face. Smiling, but not moving a step, guarding a ruin that has been dug to the bottom with mechanization.

Fang Huai couldn't help but stepped forward and asked the policeman.The police said that the body had been exhumed from the old man's home. The family of four had no place to go and had to be sent to Mid-Levels.

The old man has to stay here life and death. He thanks the government every time he speaks, but he refuses to go anywhere or eat.

He looked very haggard.

Fang Huai took out more than 1000 yuan he had on him and stuffed it into the old man.

But he refused to ask for anything, and just smiled and replied: "I have no use in taking the money!"

Fang Huai could only hand him the money, and then said in a very un-Marxist way:
"Why is it useless? Go to the mountains and take a look, sort out the family's things, buy some paper maids, and burn big villas and other things for them. And during the holidays in the future, someone will have to burn paper money for them! Otherwise, they would have a miserable life there!
If someone is alive, we should celebrate the festival every year and burn money to clear the way for them!Burned for a full 18 years!
Also, remember to erect a monument for them and find out their birthdays and so on. If you burn the wrong person, they will not receive it! "

Fang Huai's determined and serious tone shocked the police and volunteers.

I didn’t expect this firefighter in orange clothes to be so persuasive!
But these words firmly plunged the old man, who was not interested in anything just now, into a battle between heaven and man.

"Really...really?"

Fang Huai had no choice but to carefully make up a story again, pinched his fingers and said seriously:

"Before I joined the fire service, I studied at a Taoist temple! It's so true! Everyone has a spirit! When you die, you go to the Paradise of Paradise! All consumption there depends on incense! If no one cares, you will have to be poor for generations!

It's been more than 50 hours since the earthquake, right?It’s the third day!I'm afraid the registration procedures over there have all been completed!There are only a few days in a year when you can get the things you burned. If it’s too late, you won’t be able to catch up! "

When the old man heard this, he was immediately convinced.

"Yes, yes, you are right, we can't live without incense. I want to see them!"

With that said, he hurriedly walked up the mountain.

After taking two steps, he turned back, took out the money that Fang Huai had put into his pocket, and insisted on returning it to Fang Huai when he came back.

"Thank you, kindhearted person..."

Fang Huai immediately said: "I have practiced Taoism, and the money I gave you is my fault! Use my money to buy things for them to burn, and they will be blessed by the Three Purities! If I help you, you can also become my Daoguo! I’m not helping you in vain! Go quickly!”

When the old man heard this, he burst into tears. When he left, he shouted "Thank you, Heavenly Master."

Fang Huai couldn't laugh or cry.

It's not that the old man's IQ has dropped below the line, but that when people are in desperate situations, they all want to have hope. Once they have that thought, they can't wait to hold on tightly.

Fang Huai spent thousands of dollars to help him and claimed the "fruit of cultivating the Tao", which convinced him even more.

In order to save a life without hope, Fang Huai forced himself to become a magician.

But when they looked back, the police and volunteers looked at the old man's hurried back, and their jaws were so shocked that they couldn't close their jaws.

"Comrade...have you really worked in a Taoist temple?" The volunteer was obviously more naive.

Fang Huai smiled: "Don't believe those who lied to him."

But the policeman said excitedly: "Comrade, are there any reference books or something like this for knowledge in this area? This is more useful than psychology!"

Fang Huai sighed and said, "The main thing is to let him go up the mountain to see his relatives, talk, and vent his emotions.

Psychological comfort and pain relief are psychology. Psychology is not useless, but it is too difficult to practice. In order to do work, there is nothing we can do.

Comrade policemen, you are all from the same town. If you know him, you will have to visit him from time to time in the future to comfort him. "

After hearing this, the policeman saluted Fang Huai seriously: "Thank you! I learned a trick from you today!"

Fang Huai returned the gift and sighed: "Learn and apply it."

When he turned around and left, there was another well-intentioned liar in the local police force.

Along the way, I saw the Red Cross, reporters, and a group of medical staff carrying a person from a van that was helping to transport the wounded to a stretcher. There were two high school student-looking children helping beside him.

There was also a man with yellow hair and the appearance of a social youth, also wearing a pair of transparent gloves. He raised his hand to wipe his nose and waited quietly for help.

This natural disaster has changed many people, and some scenes are very heartwarming.

However, there are always people who are unreasonable.

After walking a few steps, across the street, there were two volunteers taking photos.

The reorganized town government thanked the volunteers for the rescue. While arranging some work for the volunteers based on their abilities, they also issued yellow vests and certificates to the volunteers.

However, these two are obviously different from the volunteer who just helped the old man sincerely.

Not only did he eat a piece of bread in front of Fang Huai, he threw the paper shell next to the ruins, he also took a sign with a company logo and stood in front of the ruins, taking pictures.

One of the men was holding one hand behind his back and smiling brightly.

There were two people passing by. They paused for a moment, but after looking at their vests, they left without saying anything.

"What are you doing? Come out!" Fang Huai stood across the street, pointed at the two people and shouted loudly.

The man was wearing a clean white shirt, his hair was slicked back, and he looked like a leader. Hearing the sound, Fang Huai pointed at them and laughed loudly:
"Comrade, we will pay attention to safety! This place has collapsed, and it will not collapse again! Once the filming is finished, we will leave!"

These words completely angered Fang Huai.

"Who the hell cares about your safety? No selfies in the ruins! Pick up the trash!"
