Go Home Instead of You
When the sunset set, I boarded the K101 train again to visit Feifei and her mother. My seat is by the window, and I can clearly see the scenery outside. It was dusk at that time, and the sunset had burned the clouds in the sky into a bright red. And this scene seemed a bit shocking to me, after all, such scenes would more or less remind me of every firefighting, and the one who took care of me a lot, Gu Xuan, Captain Gu.
About seven or eight years ago, I graduated from the police academy and proudly became a firefighter. At that time, Gu Xuan, who was the vice captain, took special care of me. He not only cares and takes care of me in daily life, but also plays a leading and exemplary role in the process of taking on tasks. Over time, we also became close brothers.
Five years ago, a mountain fire rescue became the last time we both went to the police together.
It was late at night when the piercing bell suddenly woke up, and each of us realized that an urgent task had occurred. Quickly dress neatly, equip yourself, and get on the fire truck to rush to the destination. On the way there, we learned that a wildfire had broken out in the largest forest in the city. And wildfires are often the most dangerous, and everyone must be prepared for sacrifice.
In the mountains and forests, the flames shot up to the sky, and the scorching black mist made it difficult for me to open my eyes. “Follow me closely.” After Gu finished speaking, he rushed towards the area where the wildfire was most severe with his equipment. With a loud bang, a scorched wood burning with flames collapsed beside me. Seeing this scene, I felt lost and wanted to stand still and push it away, but Gu Dui, who was in front of me, turned his hair and exclaimed in surprise, “Xiao Liu, dodge!” Before he could finish speaking, he jumped towards me and rolled away, holding me in his arms. After a moment of dizziness and dizziness, I woke up and found myself in no major condition, but Gu Dui’s head and arms were pinned to the ground by the giant wooden stick. I shouted out the name of Gu’s team, ignoring the scorching wood and pushing it outward one after another. In the end, Jiao Mu was pushed away, but Gu Team was almost unconscious. With tears in my eyes, I recklessly picked up the Gu team and ran frantically towards the position of the fire truck, shouting “120120.” The wind echoed in my ears, but the weak breathing of the Gu team couldn’t be dispelled: “Brother, if I’m gone, please replace me and go home for me…” After he finished speaking, he fell into a coma. “Definitely.” I responded to Gu’s instructions heavily.
We will meet again at the cemetery, the Martyrs Cemetery. After the mourning ceremony, I stared at the monument engraved with Gu Xuan’s name without saying a word. The bits and pieces of the past flow through my mind like slides, and I desperately restrain the tears I want to shed. However, my trembling hands cannot conceal the immense pain in my heart. “I will definitely go home on your behalf, Team Gu!” I clenched my fists and added this matter to my daily life.
“Sir, the train has arrived at the station. Please get off as soon as possible.” The voice of the conductor pulled me back to reality. I regained my senses, carefully closed my eyes, and then slowly opened them, hiding the watermarks in my heart. I drive skillfully through the streets, upstairs, knocking on the door
“Can you see it, Gu Dui? I’ll go home for you again.”
