My Fireman Brother is with Me
March is the rainy season in Kimura, and with rumbling thunder lining the downpour, firefighter Wang Li, who is home on vacation, is in the house with his younger brother, Wang Xiaoji, breaking fingers.
“Two plus five equals six?! You break your fingers!”
“One, three …… six.”
Wang Xiao Er counted and realized that it was not right, fawningly rushed to his brother hey grin, the previous second fierce and fierce tough guy can only shine the round back of the head and lightly patted, “Two let you eat.”
Early the next morning Wang Li sent Wang Xiao Er to the school gate in the rain.
“Brother, you come to pick me up from school, don’t let our mom come.”
“OK.”
“Brother you are the most handsome!”
After school in the afternoon, Wang Xiao Er was holding the thousand paper cranes he made in the handicraft class, looking downcast.
“Mom, where’s my brother?”
“Your brother returned to the team, there’s a fire.”
Wang Ma tugged her youngest son over, her tone flat as the pea-sized raindrops raked across her taut jaw.
Mucun is located in a mountainous area, and a lightning strike started a fire at an altitude of 3,900 meters, starting in a complex terrain with steep slopes and deep valleys.
Wang Li was summoned back to the team before lunch and didn’t get a bite of his mom’s fish stew. By the time dinner was served, the fish had already cooled down, and Wang Xiaoyi made a fuss that the fish was fishy and unpalatable, and the thousand paper cranes in his hand were soaked with tears.
Due to the high altitude of the fire starting point, the water supply is insufficient. Firefighters can only take the risk of lack of oxygen, loss of temperature and fire backlash, carrying more than 30 pounds of equipment to suppress the head of the fire.
Wang Li has joined the fire department for five years and has a lot of experience, and he is always at the front of the line in dangerous situations. Wang Xiaoyi used to admire his brother, but suddenly disappeared to engage in more, it is inevitable to complain, “the least favorite firefighters!”
Waiting for five days, every time after school, Wang Xiaoyi struggled with hope and disappointment, and walked home without saying a word.
On the weekend, Wang Xiao Er slept until the sun, woke up by a burst of crying, confused to the yard, rainy haze. “Brother!” The little steel cannon like rushed to the arrival in the arms, and the eyes are also hot.
“…… I am also your brother.”
Wang Ma’s crying was even louder, and was helped into the house, Wang Xiao Er looked at the unfamiliar faces in front of him, froze in place, and was slow to cry.
“Martyr Wang Li, covering the retreat of his teammates encountered a fire counterattack, died heroically ……”
With his brother wearing the same clothes people say “your brother is a hero”, but in the eyes of Wang Xiaoyi, his brother is a bad guy, “he taught me, do not keep his word is a bad guy!”
On the day of the memorial service, there was a long line of people coming and going to pay their respects, and Wang Xiao Er heard a lot of “thank you” and “hard work”.
“Xiao Er, your brother is a hero, he was sacrificed to protect everyone, to protect the Kimura, is a great hero of the heavens and the earth.”
Wang Xiao Er is actually not two, it’s not that he can’t accept that his brother is a hero. “Mom, brother can’t be my brother if he’s a hero, I don’t want him to be a hero.”
“Don’t be a douche, your brother, he’s not ashamed of our mother.”
Years later, the hut in the village of Kizuna was filled with the sadness of parting.
“Xiao Er, hurry up and get back to the team, you won’t be able to catch the bus later!”
“Coming!”
Wang Xiao Er shouted outside, and hurriedly stuffed a mouthful of fish into his mouth, slurring his farewell, “Mom, I’m leaving ah, take care of yourself, I’ll come back to accompany you on my next vacation.”
“You pay attention to safety out there, be steady and focused in all matters, don’t be stupid.”
“Don’t worry,” Wang Xiao Er smiled and patted the thousand paper cranes in his side bag, “My brother is with me.”
